Chapter 91: Plans (2/2)

”Oh, I had really important things to deal with.”

”I know. Your actions are quite well-known among public.” She said with a smile.

Sam didn't reply or feel offended. He knew that this news won't escape the bigshots. By now, even the Marquis might have learnt about this matter.

”I have something to discuss with you.” Sam said completely ignoring the statement.

”Please, tell me. I am listening.”

”I want to make a business deal with the Artisan tower.” Sam said without a change in expression.

But Chaya thought that she heard something wrong. The Artisan tower is a huge entity and they have deals with a lot of noble families in supplying them with ores for weaponry and some other channels. Their scale of deals isn't small at all.

Even if Sam is a genius, he shouldn't have enough money to make a deal with Artisan tower. After all, just earlier this morning she got the report of investigation on other party and he is an orphan. But she didn't say anything and asked.

”What kind of deal are we talking about?” Chaya asked.

”I want to open a weapon store in cooperation with the Artisan tower.”

”Artisan Sam, even though Artisans of the tower accept requests on some custom-made weapons, and we do sell the weapons here, we never cooperated with other people.” Chaya said.

After all the focus of the Artisan tower is still grooming artisans. The businesses are only for getting the necessary resources. So, the higher-ups don't care much as long as they have enough resources to self- sustain.

”Artisan Chaya, even though you think that your business is sufficient don't you need to think about the younger generation Artisans. They are being trained and groomed by the Artisan towers and are being recruited away by other families and rich people. Why do you think they are leaving the Artisan tower easily?” Sam paused speaking up to this point.

Chaya didn't answer, she knew the reason but too ashamed to accept it. It is because, the Artisans who work in the tower won't make much money. If they were to work in a noble family, they will be treated well and also get a lot benefits. But in the artisan towers, they have to compete with the rest of the Artisans for the projects and they cannot get the special benefits they will get when they work for the families directly.

Seeing her expression, Sam continued.

”I think both of us know the answers. If you cooperate with me, you can stop these Artisans from leaving the tower.”

”How is it possible? No matter how big your shop is, there are a lot noble families who do business in the city. The competition is too high. Even if we use the name of Artisan tower, they might just buy the products from the normal shops because their families aren't any less influential. And the products are same and they have a very solid foundations in business.”

”Artisan Chaya, take a look at this.” Sam said as he placed the arm guard he used for assessment on the table.

Chaya started checking the details. The arm guard has a very fine craftsman ship. After checking all the details, she finally stopped at the energy cell. When she scanned it with spiritual sense, she could feel the highly compressed spiritual energy in it.

Sam made this cell with normal spirit stones. So, it is pure form of spiritual energy. It has eight core, but energy stored inside is almost an energy of ten spirit stones.

Chaya tried to pick the energy cell and rotated it in its position. It is circular in shape, and when rotated, it made a click sounds as it came out of the arm guard leaving a socket.

She observed the metallic protrusions under the cell which are responsible for holding the energy cell in place. She fixed it back and wore the arm-guard to test it.

”Don't use your own spiritual energy. Try to use the energy inside it to make an attack.” Sam said to her.

She nodded her head and stood up and walked to the window. From the window, she aimed the hand which has the arm guard towards a tree in the yard and tried to use the energy inside the cell to launch a fire ball.

The attack worked, just like normal. She didn't find much difference from using the energy from her spiritual core and the energy cell.

”You can also cultivate with the energy.” Sam said and she tried. When she felt that the energy is purer than a normal spirit stone and the extraction of energy is also easy, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

This isn't because, it beneficial for cultivating. But this can be an important gadget when injured in a battle or some emergency battle situations. This can even save one's life.

If a person exhausted all his spiritual energy, he will be very vulnerable in wild or battlefield and he can't concentrate to absorb the energy from the spiritual stones efficiently. But this cell makes it easier for them and they can use this energy to escape.

”This is my invention which gave me the rank-5 Scholar Artisan title.” Sam interrupted her train of thoughts and when he got her attention he said.

”Do you think this has a commercial value?” Sam asked.
