Chapter 645 - Celebration (1/2)

Earning a place on the Golden Exchange List was indeed a marvelous turn of events. Usually, only the most well established factions with years of experience earned the right to be placed on such a list.

The Golden Exchange List wasn't just a small honor, it also came with many tangible benefits.

For one, the taxes they would have to pay was lessened by more than half. Whereas 65% of their profits would have had to be handed over previously, now they would only have to give up 30%. Though this was still higher than the 20% stores had to give up, they had one added benefit the stores didn't have.

All items on the Golden Exchange List were products Valiant Heart Mountain had recognized personally. As a result, aside from orders from the students, their faction would also receive bulk orders from the organization as well.

These bulk orders were where the true money was waiting to be made. It was still unknown if a product would become popular amongst students even if it made the Golden Exchange List. But, these bulk orders would guarantee a large sum of merit points to be paid in advance.

This influx of merit points would allow a faction the breathing room it needed to experiment with other creations and also gather enough resources to fulfill their orders. Even if Valiant Heart Mountain only ordered once, it was enough to give a faction a great kickstart as long as they took advantage of it.

For them to gain such an honor while presenting their first products… How could Kaela not be excited?!

The young faction leader couldn't help but beam, her smile spreading from ear to ear.

Jac took the samples to be tested and they would learn of the results in just a few hours. She couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Leonel couldn't find it within himself to be happy.

'If something is going to go wrong, now would be the time…'

Their samples had been taken away to be tested by the old timers. If nothing went wrong, maybe Leonel would really have to admit that he was just being paranoid.

But, what happened next left him stunned.

Barely half an hour later, Elder Beinala came back with a smiling face and officially announced the matters.

The team could no longer hold back their excitement. Even Thilly who was always expressionless had his lip curl ever so slightly. In fact, Radlis, who had been running around getting them refreshments also beamed.

Though, whether he was smiling because he was happy about their success, or the bounciness of Kaela's chest as she celebrated… Well, maybe only he knew the answer to that.

Jac chuckled. ”Don't celebrate too early, this is where the real challenge begins. The organization has ordered 500 Polished Grenades and Elite Polished Grenades. On top of that, we also want 100 of each type of Mending Armor. Can you do it?”

Kaela's eyes brightened. ”Of course, of course!”

Though she didn't say this, in the past month, they had already made more than ten times this number. Handing over such an amount was child's play, mostly due to Leonel. She could only say that that young man was a monster.

She remembered the first time she watched Leonel Craft 20 Elite Polished Grenades at once. She had only recently been able to pick her jaw up from the floor.

Plus, the organization never set deadlines for their bulk orders. Even if they took half a year, it wouldn't be a problem. This could only be considered to be a medium sized order.

”Good, good. Your merits will be transferred over immediately. You've done well, I hope to see more in the future.”
