Chapter 778: Chapter 527 Worth Millions_3

They are also divided into five categories: minor, intermediate, advanced, potent, and extreme. The first three, besides the inherent abilities of the gemstones themselves, can cast limited regeneration techniques one to three times. This regeneration technique can reattach limbs but cannot regrow severed limbs. The potent and extreme categories respectively have the capability to use the regeneration technique one to two times.

The price starts at thirty thousand and doubles increases—the extreme regeneration rings can sell for up to one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins on the market, and that’s with people scrambling to get them.

The regeneration technique belongs to the seventh-circle spells and can only be used by level fourteen priests. Its effects need not be mentioned, as they not only bring the dead back to life but also enable one to continue fighting, benefiting one’s allies as well. Although the regeneration ability is not as strong as that of trolls, the key issue is that it does not come with the trolls’ fatal flaw of fearing strong acids and flames.

After making a rough valuation of these magic rings,

Gaven just felt his head buzz, from his feet to his crown, uncontrollably tingling with excitement.

Added to the spoils in the hands of the troll army, and the regeneration gems presented by the gnolls, all in all, he had no less than two hundred rings.

Not to mention, just the regeneration gems that could be made into potent and extreme regeneration rings, he had at least thirty, and that’s not to mention the even larger regeneration gems, of which there were more than a dozen.

If he made all of these into regeneration rings, their value would undoubtedly exceed ten million, which was five times more than Gaven’s initial two million valuation.

Indeed, the most profitable business in this world was never selling raw materials but making finished products and consuming all their value.

The value of Dwarf Statue City was far beyond his own estimation. If he managed it well, earning several million a year would be an extraordinarily simple matter.

With his heart pounding excitedly as though about to leap out, but whether it was his body or his expression, Gaven controlled them immovably with the powerful control of a Psychic Sorcerer Shapeshifter, and handed the two jewelry boxes back to Mayor Jin Bao, "Do you want to cooperate with us, using the regeneration gems in my hands to make and sell these regeneration rings?"

"Exactly." The Gnome Village chief carefully put the two jewelry boxes back into his chest, rubbing his hands and chuckling, "Lord Baron, it’s not that we’re boasting, but no one knows the properties of regeneration gems better than the gemstone artisans of our Querose Village. We’ve moved our entire village here, studying them for a whole century to master this craftsmanship. If you entrust the regeneration gems you’ve seized from the trolls to us, I guarantee not a single one will go to waste. We’ll make them all into these regeneration rings. Uhm, and if you could give us a few skeletons of those noble giant trolls, that would be even better. The regeneration gems are most compatible with them."

"How much would the processing fee be?" Gaven inquired, as there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"You provide the raw materials, we provide the craftsmanship. After selling the finished products, we split the profit fifty-fifty," Mayor Jin Bao proposed with a lion’s share.

"Why don’t you just rob us?" The one who spoke wasn’t Gaven, but Shanoba. She didn’t know the value of the regeneration gems and those rings just now, but her instincts told her this price was outrageous, "You’re merely processing and want to pocket half of the profits directly? Where in the world is there such a good deal? Don’t tout yourselves so highly; there are plenty of gemstone artisans out there. I refuse to believe that with the raw materials on hand, we can’t find suitable processors. Even if it results in waste, at least the profits will be greater than giving them to you."

"What does Lord Baron mean?" Mayor Jin Bao’s gaze locked onto Gaven, for he was the true possessor of the place.

"Shanoba will be the City Lord of Dwarf Statue City, and she will be handling all affairs here in the future. I will seldom directly intervene in matters here. If you can’t persuade her, our cooperation cannot proceed smoothly," Gaven, while not adept in this area, knew how to seize the moment. Since Shanoba had already jumped out, he let her continue to be at the forefront and haggle over the price with the other party.

Anyway, now that he knew the true value of the regeneration gems and had a targeted research direction, the process would be much simpler; it merely required some effort. He still had another card up his sleeve that he could play—the Legendary Arcanist, Philancy.

"This trade may sound outrageous, but our century of craftsmanship includes a significant amount of R&D costs—countless regeneration gems have been wasted. You’re basically reaping the benefits. If you don’t believe us, have someone study it and they’ll know. The internal structure of regeneration gems is unstable. If not specially treated, after long-term wear and use, once their inner strength is exhausted, they will become useless waste rocks. But regeneration gems made into regeneration rings by us won’t have this worry," Mayor Jin Bao had to slightly reveal the flaw of the regeneration gems to fight for a larger profit share, "This is also why the quantity of regeneration gems has never increased."

"You can’t expect us to bear the costs of your hundred years of R&D, can you?" Shanoba would have none of such R&D costs, bluntly denying, "Researching regeneration gems is your voluntary act, irrelevant to us. If you show no willingness to cooperate, and cooperation fails, your skills will be wasted anyway, researching for so many years in vain. I suggest you come up with a more reasonable price."

"Thirty-seventy, we take thirty, you take seventy. That should be acceptable, right?" Mayor Jin Bao, grinding his teeth and stomping his foot, had no choice but to make a large concession, feeling as if he were casting pearls before swine—the other party was uncompromising, and without their buy-in, there was no way to continue the deal.
