Chapter 1555: Chapter 470: If Reason Fails, Resort to Force

"So many?" The old Lich was startled, "Are you planning to open a trading company as well?"

"Don’t ask about that. Military secret." Liu Zhenhan tossed out a big excuse, "Next—how many Storage Crystals do you have?"

"These are high-level Arcane tools! All the unpolished Storage Crystal ores we currently have amount to roughly six hundred pieces! As for the finished products, including badges, buttons, and various accessories, there are about three hundred pieces! However, their capacity is quite limited; they can only hold up to fifteen hundred Moka worth of space! Higher-grade ones do exist, but they’re extremely rare and absurdly expensive. For someone like you..." The old Lich stared eagerly at the storage earring shaped like a phoenix butterfly leaf that Liu was casually twirling between his fingers, "...this is a masterpiece! If I’m not mistaken, this must be one of the top-tier Storage Earrings owned by Your Majesty Jiabao, capable of holding up to eight thousand Moka, isn’t it?"

"You guessed right! I’ll take all your Storage Crystal products, including the ores. As for this earring, I’ll sell it to you as part of the deal to fulfill your wish." Liu Zhenhan winked playfully at the two girls and tossed the earring in front of the drooling old Lich, "What I need is an evenly distributed logistical capacity for a larger group—not just myself! While an eight-thousand-Moka Storage Crystal is rare, sixteen Storage Crystals with a capacity of five hundred Moka each add up to the same load."

"Your future will surely outshine the Flame Tower!" The old Lich praised sincerely.

In the Demon World, everyone knows that ordinary Dutang fruits aren’t worth much. But if a single Dutang grows to weigh over a hundred Moka, it will undoubtedly sell for an astronomical price!

Even the least intelligent member of the Demon Clan can calculate that one hundred Dutang fruits combined can still weigh a hundred Moka!

However, the price of one hundred regular Dutangs together would never come close to the cost of a single giant Dutang weighing over a hundred Moka!

That’s because a Dutang fruit growing to such enormous proportions is extraordinarily rare and unusual!

This is the psychology of novelty!

Trading companies rely on this principle to make big profits. For someone as young as the new Left Bank negotiator to casually sacrifice a rare treasure that could serve as the cornerstone artifact of the "Fertile Fields" trading company—it left the seasoned Lich Sula deeply impressed.

Truth be told, he was overestimating this rogue in front of him. Liu Zhenhan, who possessed Seven Degree Gold, had absolutely no interest in rare treasures like a Vacuum Storage Crystal with a measly four-ton capacity!

The Storage Metals on the Aegean Continent, while lagging behind the Demon World in production quantity, excelled in storage capacity!

"Next on the list: Osteo Wands and Shield Crystal Diamonds. I have a significant need for these two items—I’ll take as many as you have!"

"Shield Crystal Diamonds are extraordinarily expensive! We have no more than ten pieces at the moment. Respectfully, don’t you already own over a hundred of them? Why want more? Osteo Wands are even scarcer! These items have always been in limited supply, with major noble clans leaving purchase requests year-round. Whenever an adventurer sells one, we immediately notify buyers through our Bone-Link Treasure Box. I estimate that even if we pooled resources across the three continent branches, we’d only have ten wands at most, and their quality might not be very high! In truth... the ones you own must be top-tier, correct?"

Judging by his tone, the old Lich seemed eager to flip the deal and make a purchase from Liu Zhenhan instead.

"I’ll take as many as you have! Just tally it up and give me the total price!" Liu Zhenhan waved grandly, as though he had millions of Shell Coins stashed in his pocket.

"Please wait a moment; I will check today’s inventory and recent acquisitions for Osteo Wands and Shield Crystal Diamonds!" The old Lich nodded respectfully to Liu Zhenhan, then extracted a brick-sized Bone-Link Treasure Box and slipped into a private room at the back of the VIP suite.

"Don’t forget to inquire about Kagaride Gems," Elise whispered into Liu Zhenhan’s ear.

"And my present," Avril chimed in, leaning closer.

"I’m thinking that if it were a fair trade, I could sell a large batch of Magical Metals to this Demon Clan trading company. They’d surely buy them! Without sufficient Magical Metals, the Demon Clan can’t produce portable Teleportation Crystal Arrays!" Liu Zhenhan nodded, "The problem is, this isn’t a fair trade. We’ll see how it goes—if we can deceive them, great; if not, we’ll just resort to taking it by force!"

"Alright!" Elise’s pretty face flushed with excitement. Today she could carry out two mischievous schemes in a row—a thrilling experience for the young elven beauty, whose past actions had always been chivalrous but never villainous.

"I’ve calculated everything!" The old Lich emerged from the back room with a broad smile, placing a roll of incomprehensible parchment filled with cryptic calculations in front of Liu Zhenhan.

The letters seemed legible to Liu Zhenhan, but he couldn’t actually read them.

"After deducting the cost of your items from this batch of goods, you still owe me forty-five thousand Black Shell Coins as the remaining balance! This price does not include the Bone-Link Treasure Box I’m gifting you! Since it’s your first visit and you’re an esteemed overlord, I can offer you a half-price discount and charge only forty thousand black coins!" The old Lich pointed to each line of the prices with a feather quill, reading them one by one. The thirteen tons of Teleportation Crystals, seven Osteo Wands, and twelve Shield Crystal Diamonds were the primary expenses, but Liu Zhenhan’s royal weaponry, a queen’s earring, and twelve bottles of Blood Marrow—along with the discounted price—had offset the remaining Storage Crystal products!
