Chapter 231 - 161 Fourth-turn — Wraith Controller_4
When he heard this explanation, Dean McKenzie felt a bit disappointed.
If these were goods stored over hundreds of years, that would mean he basically could have a one-off deal now. His hopes of having a stable, long term channel to obtain templates of Excellent grade or above had been dashed.
However, after a second thought, McKenzie realized it was still something good to be able to have just a single deal.
Even if the old man did have more goods, wouldn’t he be out of money for trading?
“I am out of gold coins now!”
Dean McKenzie blurted out, looking at the bill.
The dwarf old man narrowed his eyes: “I can only lower the price to 70,000 gold coins for you!”
“Uh!”
McKenzie was about to say that was not what he meant.
The old man clenched his teeth bitterly: “Fifty thousand, I can lower it to fifty thousand at best, no less!”
“No, you got me wrong. I meant, I am out of gold coins, can I pay by purple gold coins?
But since you mentioned this, let’s settle for fifty thousand then!”
As he said, McKenzie took out 50 purple gold coins.
Looking at the purple gold light gleaming from the coins, the old man’s face turned black. He wished he could slap himself.
In three sentences, the tribe lost a potential gain of thirty-two thousand.
However, looking at the 50 purple gold coins Dean McKenzie handed out, the old man felt hopeful again.
With a seemingly troubled face, he accepted 50 purple gold coins from McKenzie.
Profit!
Although the purple gold coins were introduced to be 1:1000 in value to gold coins, this was the system ratio. In the market, the price of purple gold coins could be even crazy.
1:2000 was inaccessible even if one were willing to pay.
The old man thought he could only earn 45,000 from this deal. But to his surprise, he ended making 95,000.
The tiny old man was tickled by the turn of events. He contemplated all the saddest moments in his life to prevent himself from bursting into laughter.
In the end, the old man cursed and grumbled as he took the 50 purple gold coins and left.
The Old Man’s acting skills were superb, making Dean McKenzie think he had a bargain, until an hour later when the Giant Serpent Tribe’s leader personally delivered 25 purple gold coins back to McKenzie. Then he realized how impressive the old man’s acting skills were.
However, more astonishing than the old man’s acting skills and the real price of the purple gold coin was the remarkable attitude of the Giant Serpent Tribe’s leader.
The fact that he could deliver the purple gold coins back to McKenzie was surprising to him.
At least, Dean McKenzie considered in his heart, if it was him who got such a bargain, he would never so easily return the money.
In the face of Dean’s astonished gaze, the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe said, “The most important thing in doing business is integrity. We rightfully earn our money, not a penny less or more!”
Finishing his sentence under the admiring gaze of Dean McKenzie, the Giant Serpent Tribe’s leader continued, “Moreover, it’s clear to us whether it’s better to have a good meal each time or a full meal every time.
Mr. McKenzie, you were throwing money around in our tribe, presumably to attract powerful distributors to work for you, right?
I wonder if our Giant Serpent Tribe has the honor to serve you?”
“Oh?”
Dean McKenzie squints his eyes “Can you get similar goods as today’s?”
“Most of the templates in the South Babarian have basically been swept away by us. There will hardly be such large-scale trades in the South Barbarian in a short time.
However, our Giant Serpent Tribe has been doing business for some time now, and we’ve accumulated a certain amount of connections. We’re confident that we can serve you well!”
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe humbly put himself lower, not at all like a tribal leader, but more like a humble salesman trying hard to secure a deal for his company.
His attitude did indeed touch Dean McKenzie.
“If you are so confident, then let’s work together!”
As Dean said that, he snapped his fingers.
The next second, Earl appeared out of thin air in the room, handing a storage ring to the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The sudden appearance of Earl made the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe’s pupils contract.
Although he had guessed that Dean McKenzie was very strong, he didn’t imagine him to be this terrifying.
Not to mention anything else, the mere sight of the skeleton assassin gave the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe a great shock.
He could naturally see Earl’s fifth-turn strength.
But what was most shocking was not the Fifth-turn strength of the Eighth Elder, but his extremely terrifying invisibility ability.
If the Eighth Elder had not revealed himself in front of him, he would not have known of such a terrifying presence lurking at his side.
In other words, if the other party wished to, they could easily take his life.
How could he not be startled?
However, the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe also showed delight on his face after the shock.
He knew that the moment the Eighth Elder appeared, the situation was essentially a done deal.
Otherwise, Dean McKenzie wouldn’t have let the Eighth Elder show himself.
This assassin’s appearance was to intimidate him, laying the groundwork for their upcoming collaboration.
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe was now even more eager to see what was inside the ring.
As he took it and looked, he realized that most of the things stored inside were level 3 pure spring water!
Name: Pure SpringWater
Level: Level 3
Description: Upon consumption, it can slowly heal injuries and recover mana.
(Effective healing can be achieved for those with a physique of 125 or less, drinking 100 milliliters of spring water can recover 1000 points of mana or 500 spirit power per minute,
it lasts for 5 minutes)
Frankly speaking, the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe was disappointed when he first saw this stuff.
After all, level 3 Pure Spring Water isn’t exactly a valuable resource, with a market price of around 1 to 2 silver coins per milliliter.
But when he saw the amount of Pure Spring Water, he was completely taken aback!
Inside the ring, there were at least 3 million milliliters!
In addition to the Pure Spring Water, there were also a large number of medicinal potions.
Due to the fact that Dean McKenzie commanded skeletons and had the meditation ability, medicinal potions were practically useless to him.
So, he kindly bundled all of it and handed it over to the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe roughly estimated the value of this pure spring water and medicine, involuntarily gasping at the total.
“Mr. Lee, the market price for level 3 Pure Spring Water is around 1 to 2 silver coins per milliliter, the value of the Pure Spring Water you have here equates to about thirty to fifty thousand gold coins!
Add in these potions of yours, and the total value should be around eighty to a hundred thousand.”
“Hmm!”
Upon hearing this estimate, Dean McKenzie nodded in satisfaction.
The valuation of the Pure Spring Water satisfied him.
At 1 to 2 silver coins per milliliter, with a production of 50,000 milliliters per day from his territory, that would mean an income of 500 to 1,000 gold coins per day.
Of course, Dean McKenzie understood that if a large amount of any particular product were to flood the market in a short amount of time, it was certain to depreciate in value.
However, Dean McKenzie didn’t care about potential depreciation as he himself didn’t deal with these things.
The issues of how to deal with these items were left to the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe once Dean handed them over.
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe also understood this, and looking at these items, he proposed two schemes to Dean: “Mr. Lee, I have two options for dealing with these items. One is for us to handle this stuff, and the Giant Serpent Tribe will charge a ten percent handling fee.
The other option is for you to price them at ninety thousand gold coins, which will be handled by us, what do you think?? ”
“The first one, you deal with these things.
The money you get, use it to buy things for me, you should know what I want!”
“Understood!”
“Alright, let’s proceed this way then!”
In just a few words, Dean McKenzie struck a hundred thousand gold coin deal with the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
They became official partners.
After finalizing this deal, just when the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something: “Oh, Mr. Lee, do you remember the human named Boris Holt who traded with you some time ago?” “Hmm?”
