Chapter 628 - Calm (2/2)
It was a good thing that when he returned to the main plane, he didn’t get intimate with Andonara, or Vivian, otherwise it would be engaging in pornographic content and maybe his account would have been blocked.
As for Schuck and others, they probably knew, but they didn’t say anything, probably because they thought Roland had his plans, so they didn’t mention it.
After all, Roland had always been the central figure among them.
Wiping off cold sweat, Roland began to read the posts.
But then he realized that there wasn’t much worth reading.
This was because the most discussed thing lately was the five of them livestreaming in the Netherworld.
He cleaned himself up and rode a public bike to the Yu family ancestral shrine and continued to meditate and absorb the free energy in the air.
By evening, he was home and went online.
Then he directly cut off the livestream.
The netizens who routinely waited in front of the livestream wailed.
A lot of people thought that Roland didn’t need to cut off the livestream!
Millions of people were watching online.
This was all traffic—all money.
Roland double-checked that he was off the air before he sighed in relief.
Full of food and drink, Schuck rode off on Margret.
After being stared at by Andonara with a beaming smile for a few days, Margret was now particularly well-behaved. Being stared at every day by a woman with the mark of dragonslayer who was also a Hero… even ancient dragons would panic.
So Margret was especially happy to get out of here.
Li Lin and the others also left together.
They decided to walk around, take on mercenary quests, and gain some experience in combat!
Now they had the level but felt like they couldn’t keep up in combat experience.
After sending off his four friends, Roland spent two days at home being lovey-dovey with the two women.
Then he went to Fareins and collected a few magic bricks while planting a new “galaxy” to wait for it to evolve on its own. After doing these things, Roland finally had time to look at his newly acquired equipment.
The Nether God War Scythe was something that he felt a little uncomfortable holding in his hand.
But then he gave it to Andonara, who ended up brandishing it extremely well.
Roland saw a black circle of light dancing around, and finally, Andonara slashed forward forcefully and unleashed a pitch-black air blade spanning a hundred meters. All the things it touched were broken in two.
It already smelled vaguely like the Nether God’s air blades.
“Good stuff.” Andonara looked at the scythe in her hand, liking it quite a lot.
“It’s yours,” Roland said without hesitation.
Andonara shook her head. “I like it, but this thing is still not quite suitable for me. I can’t use its full power. But, Roland, you can.”
“I can use the abilities that enhance magic but can’t use the weapon’s powerful attributes effectively.” Roland shrugged. “I can’t brandish a scythe.”
“I’ll teach you.” Andonara laughed happily.
If Roland stayed to learn something, then that would be a perfect reason for him to spend far less time running around.
Roland was quite moved.
The Nether God War Scythe was just a staff in his hands, but if he learned the skills from Andonara, then in the future, even if someone fought him in close-combat, he would have the power to fight back.
“Okay.” Roland took Andonara’s hand. “I’ll learn.”
The next days were rather ordinary. Roland took time to learn scythe combat techniques during the day and experimented with magic at night.
Now he started to improve barriers.
He had an idea to use cheap Teleportation magic arrays to connect the majority of the major cities in this world.
Now, although he had developed a multiple teleportation array, the consumption was too great, not to mention that the general public couldn’t afford it. Not even the players couldonly those who were good at making money could often afford teleportation.
Because teleporting one person would cost at least 40 silver coins of magic materials.
If it could be compressed to the margin of a single silver coin, then the teleportation magic array could become the most mainstream mode of transportation.
Just when he was living a fulfilling life, someone came to his door.
Charles from Cornucopia.
Roland entertained him in the living room.
After the maidservants served the fruit wine, Roland took a sip and said, “We are all busy, and time is money, so if there’s something you want, Chairman Charles, please speak.”
“I need Dragon Meat Reagents, the more the better.”
“There are Dragon Meat Reagents, but I can’t sell you too many. Ten at most.” In reality, Roland didn’t even want to sell him one.
But this time, it was Douglas who interceded and let him in.
For Douglas’ sake, it wouldn’t hurt for Roland to give him ten of them.
“I know, I was wrong last time,” Charles said rather sincerely. “So, this time we can buy your Dragon Meat Reagents at a twenty percent premium. Please give us a chance.”
A twenty percent premium was indeed a lot.
Roland looked at the merchant who had a rather sincere expression, thought for a moment, and said, “Fifty bottles at most.”
“Thank you very much,” Charles nodded slightly, “If you’re still selling reagents, please do consider Cornucopia.” When he had finished speaking, Charles took the money he had prepared and put it on the table.
Roland also took out the reagents.
A minute later, Charles left rather happily.
And Roland had an additional amount of money in the bank.
Then Roland went back to studying magic and learning the scythe combat techniques, before finding time to bully Vivian and get lovey-dovey with Andonara.
The days went by free and unfettered.
However, ten days later, Charles came again.
He was even more sincere this time, almost submissive. “Almighty Roland, we stumbled upon a wounded black dragon.”
“You want to slay the dragon?”
“Yes,” Charles said. “I want to ask you and Her Highness the queen to join our team. After it’s done, we’ll split the dragon corpse sixty-forty. You get sixty!”
“You guys want to make Dragon Meat Reagents too?” asked Roland curiously.
“Yes!” Charles nodded. “So we are willing to buy your reagent formula at a high price.”
Roland rubbed his chin. “But I feel like I’m losing out a bit. When you all know the recipe for making Dragon Meat Reagent, then won’t I be out of a job?”
“Seventy-thirty, you get seventy. As for the price of the reagent recipe, we are willing to pay five hundred gold coins.”
“That’s very generous of you,” Roland said after a moment’s thought. “I have another condition. I hope you can help me collect the Meteorite Mineral and I’ll buy it for ten percent above the market price.”
Meteorite Mineral was an extremely important kind of magic material, and the more advanced the magic experiment, the more Meteorite Mineral was required.
It was too slow for Roland to collect it by himself, and there was surely no problem in leaving this kind of thing to a chamber of commerce that specialized in stockpiling.
Charles smiled and said, “No problem. This stuff is used to make floating cities, I hear?”
“That’s what I heard,” Roland said calmly without any change in his expression. “It’s said to take several dozen tons to do it. It’s a shame no one knows that technique anymore.”
