390 Pork Sandwiches (1/2)

Zero altered Lovina's spell and entered the portal easily. His presence was immediately recognised by Ruth and Beelzebub the moment he arrived in hell. Zero didn't manage to get far before they materialised in front of him.

”Zero! What brings you here? I thought you were travelling on Earth?” Beelzebub smiled and Ruth grinned.

The doctor looked around. ”Where's Seff? I heard that he has been quite the troublemaker.”

The vampire groaned at the mention of that small menace. ”He is at Hua Tuo's hospital entertaining the patients as we speak. I think your shifu is better at dealing with children compared to the rest of us in the village. Karris hasn't slept well in days so I thought I'd babysit him here. Who would have known he would get into as much trouble as you did when you were still under training with Hua Tuo? If he had your powers, I'm sure this boy would be causing intergalactic damages by now.”

The doctor had no comebacks for that. It was true that he was quite the troublemaker when he first regained his consciousness but now, he knew better.

”I'll stop by to see shifu for a little but I'm here to ask about how things are progressing. Do you see an increase in business ever since I left? I need to talk to Coux and Mammon about starting a seed fund. Currently, I need a lot of money, enough to buy the freedom of an entire kingdom.”

Beelzebub didn't know if he was listening to the right thing. ”And where will the money come from?” he asked. ”Are you going to borrow money from Lord Mammon? I don't think he will lend you any even if he could afford it. Besides, I'm guessing you're talking about a kingdom on Earth. Cursed coins don't work outside of the abyss.”

”I'm aware of that,” Zero nodded. ”Hence I came up with a different idea. I currently have some seed funds thanks to a turn of events. Royalty pays you handsomely if you can sell them what they need.”

Curious, Ruth wanted to know what Zero did and the doctor spilt the beans. Both the vampire and demon lord were amused when Zero told them how he convinced the giants to change their faith and how he sold slimming potions to the dwarves. The reward that he got in return made them slightly confused.

”How much are a thousand gold coins worth in cursed coins?” Beelzebub asked when Zero said he wanted to use that as his seed fund for the campaign.

Zero shrugged. ”That's why I thought I'd ask Coux and Mammon later. I do know that they are worth about 10 dinnites. I think that's actually a lot of money because even with 600 binnites I could already buy 6,000 pork sandwiches with it.”

”How many pork sandwiches can 10 dinnites buy then?” Ruth asked and Zero's brain stalled.

If 1 binnite is 10 pork sandwiches and 1,000 binnites made 1 single cinnnite, then 10,000 cinnites made 1 dinnite, how many zeroes will that make in pork sandwiches?

Mii facepalmed. ”It's one billion pork sandwiches[1],” she corrected him and materialised. ”Please don't give Zero any Math to work with, he can't handle it.”

”Oh, you're here. Never thought I'd miss seeing you,” Ruth smirked and Beelzebub raised a brow.
