When Belek saw that Mas was about to leave, he could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. He straightened up and tried to urge him to stay.
"Brother, wait!"
"Bro… no, sir, I failed to recognize a formidable person, my poor old eyes. Can you give me another chance?"
"Sir, let's talk nicely. This is Master Mas's work. We can definitely negotiate this business but don't be so anxious. You have to give me some time to prepare. Don't you think so?"
His round face revealed a look that deserved a beating. His expression was like a dog trying to please its owner who had not entered the house for many years. He was trying his best.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mas turned to look at Belek indifferently and said unhurriedly, "Since President Belek is so sincere, then I have to show you some support, right?
I have to give you a chance. Let's have a good talk now. "
Mas swaggered back into his chair and planted his feet on the plywood-covered table. He looked so unbridled.
As for the Emerald Green Robe he had just taken back, he casually tossed them onto the table again. From their ordinary appearance, outsiders who did not know anything would think that they were trash.
"How may I address you, sir?" Belek asked cautiously, afraid that he would make Mas unhappy again. He was afraid that the business that he had almost secured would disappear.
When Mas heard this, a cold glint flashed across his eyes as he stared at the person in front of him. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "My name is Dyson."
There was no other meaning behind this name. Even the original owner of the alchemy tower in the Gloom Forest, which was Swoks' master, had systematically learned Dyson's alchemy notes over the past few days. Mas regarded this unknown alchemist as his real teacher.
It would not hurt to borrow his name now.
"Young Lord Dyson, forgive me for asking, but how many pieces of this green robe from Master Mas do you have? A single piece of the Emerald Green Robe costs more than 100,000 gold coins."
Belek's careful manner was reminiscent of how servants usually fawned over Mas, afraid to offend him.
"There's no harm in telling you. There are twenty-nine of them!"
"Gasp, twenty-nine pieces!"
Even the experienced and knowledgeable Belek took in a breath of cold air. This was the first time he had seen someone take out twenty-nine four-star alchemy items of the same craft.
"Brother Dyson, are you sure it's twenty-nine? There really are twenty-nine?!"
Belek found it unbelievable.
A four-star intermediate alchemy armor was not something that could be found on the streets. It could be picked up easily. Not to mention the quality of the clothes, just the fact that it was made by Master Mas was enough to increase its price.
"Since you've asked all that you need to ask, then what do you think is a good price for me to sell this Emerald Green Robe to you at?"
Mas looked at Belek with a half-smile.
Price?
This alchemy apprentice named Dyson looked young, but he was actually very cunning. Belek must quote a high price!
Belek pretended to think for a while and lamented to Mas with a look of pity, "To be honest, brother Dyson, any alchemy item made by Master Mas is indeed extraordinary. There's no doubt about that. However, apart from the fact that this green robe is thinner and more resilient, there's nothing else special about it."
"How about this, I'll offer the price of 40,000 gold coins per piece. What do you think?"
When Mas heard the number, he did not even bother to answer. He put away the alchemy space and walked out without looking back.
"Brother Dyson, wait, wait. Since we're doing a business, isn't it more about negotiation? Don't be anxious. We're discussing."
Belek stopped Mas who was about to leave and hurried to make amends.
"I say, President Belek, you can be considered one of the smartest people in the capital. We are all smart people. I came to discuss business with you, but you left me here by myself for half an hour. Moreover, you didn't even offer me a cup of tea. Well, I can bear with all of these and let them pass, but you actually said that Master Mas's four-star alchemy item is only worth 40,000 gold coins?
President Belek, are you an idiot or do you think Master Mas is an idiot? "
Mas just stared at Belek with a look of contempt on his face.
Belek could only accompany the dry laughter and make an inviting gesture for Mas to take his seat again.
"Calm down, calm down. This is how business is like. If you think this price isn't suitable, we'll negotiate for another price!" Belek fawned on him.
"One Emerald Green Robe, non-negotiable price, 100,000 gold coins. Do you accept it or not? I think my offer is fair. This price is considered cheap among four-star alchemy items."
"100,000 gold coins?"
Upon hearing this price, Belek, who had been trying his best to smile like a clown just a moment ago, instantly changed his attitude. His pair of eyes were so narrow that one could not see his eyes flashing with an astute look. He was considering how much profit he could earn from this price.
"Since you are unable to make up your mind, then I'll go look for the other two Chambers of Commerce. When you have made up your mind, come look for me. Perhaps the other two guild leaders are more interested in this batch of green robes."
When Mas saw Belek's hesitant expression, he thought to himself that Belek was definitely thinking of an excuse to lower his price a little more so that he could gain more benefits.
Even though the raw material of this Emerald Green Robe only cost 20,000 gold coins, with the help of the Creator's Alchemy Platform, the refinement would not fail. With a 100% success rate, selling it for 40,000 gold coins already gave him a profit of 20,000 gold coins.
However, it was just as Belek had said. As for business, they had to discuss further. Just that amount of profit was not enough for Mas!
After all, there was a chance of failure in refinement, so Mas was not asking too much.
"To be honest, brother Dyson, 100,000 gold coins per piece is indeed a little expensive for me right now. Even if I promise you verbally now, although our Chamber of Commerce is one of the three largest Chamber of Commerces in the Storm Empire, we do not have that many liquid gold coins on our account."
Belek thought about the cause and effect, and finally smiled bitterly as he watched Mas say these "heartfelt words"!
Belek also understood one thing very well. As Master Mas, who had recently become famous among the upper echelons of the imperial family, a four-star Emerald Green Robe worth 100,000 gold coins, as long as he could operate it well, it was not impossible for the price of the green robe to increase.
However, what Belek had just said was indeed the truth. Even the extremely wealthy Sith Chamber of Commerce did not have that many liquid gold coins. Most of them were precious gems or real estate…
Furthermore, even if he were to scrape together so many gold coins to give to Mas, his business for the next month would definitely be affected.
"It's alright, President Belek. Master Mas has long considered this point. Since you can't offer gold coins of equal value, you can choose to pay in another way.
Master Mas said that he has been researching an advanced alchemy creature recently. Master Mas currently needs large amounts of high-quality alchemy materials to create that new alchemy creature. You can choose to use alchemy materials of the same value as gold coins to pay for it.
I might as well tell you a secret. The higher the level of the alchemy material, the happier Master Mas will be. He might even sell you a high-star alchemy creature to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Belek could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. He said with joy, "Brother Dyson, is that true?"
"Recently, the royal family of the Storm Empire has sent Mage Anthony to order 20 Red Crystal Gargoyles that are comparable to five-star professionals from our Master Mas. You, who are closely related to the royal family and the nobles, should know about this, right?" Mas whispered into Belek's ear, afraid that this secret would be heard by a third person.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
When Belek saw that Mas was about to leave, he could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. He straightened up and tried to urge him to stay.
"Brother, wait!"
"Bro… no, sir, I failed to recognize a formidable person, my poor old eyes. Can you give me another chance?"
