Chapter 1126 - 1126 171 Preparation Bank_3

1126: 171, Preparation Bank_3 1126: 171, Preparation Bank_3 Caesar IV might have been kept in the dark about the situation, or he wouldn’t have so promptly issued Robert’s death notice.

After all, the greatest value of Sanctuary Powerhouses lies in their intimidation, how could they scare anyone if they’re not shown?

Hiding and striking in secret might work, but it isn’t suitable for Alpha Kingdom now.

Surrounded by Different Races, the Kingdom needs to be strong, stronger, and even stronger.

“Respected Robert, that was a bit too much.

As an old friend, I was just dropping by, and now you make it seem like I’m here to devour you all.

Talking about death, how inauspicious!

Could it be that after breaking through to Sanctuary, with a new identity, you don’t recognize old friends anymore?”

Hudson said with a half-smile.

He was here today to pick a fight and at the same time, to hire someone for a task.

Although the production technology of Magic Crystal Cards wasn’t monopolized, those capable of making them were always Continental Top Powers.

Being the third-ranked Kingdom, Alpha Kingdom naturally conducted research in this area and had possessed the technology decades ago.

Like other major powers, this technology was not made popular, but was only used by a few major commercial houses in the Kingdom.

With Hudson’s status, acquiring this technology wouldn’t be hard after paying a certain price.

The trouble was he didn’t have enough Workers!

The mages in his territory were already living a 996 lifestyle just producing Magic Potions.

Increasing their workload could be problematic.

Considering the demand for Magic Crystal Cards, Hudson was in dire need of an inexpensive workforce.

“Hudson, cut the act!

If it truly was a friendly visit, you would let…”

Before he could finish, Maxim glared at him, silencing him.

Before he could recover, Belsden also gently patted his shoulder with a large paw.

Robbed of his temper by this disturbance, Robert swallowed back the words he initially intended to request both to leave.

Being close to a Sanctuary Divine Beast was far more dangerous than having a knife at one’s throat.

“You two come back here.

Haven’t you seen a Sanctuary Mage before?

Making such a fuss, how embarrassing!”

Hudson scolded, feigning annoyance.

Unfortunately, Robert was not buying this performance.

He didn’t dare to raise his voice against the dragon and bear, for they were quick-tempered and genuinely capable of murder.

“Hudson, enough!

Just say what you want, don’t beat around the bush.

The compensation has already been given, and I won’t agree to any unreasonable demands!”

Seeing Robert curse outright, Hudson’s anger subsided almost completely.

“Robert, am I a petty person?

This visit to an old friend is simply to ask you to help me produce some Magic Crystal Cards and the identification devices.

You just need to let the academy’s instructors handle the essential processes, and the rest can be managed by the students.

I’ve prepared all the raw materials.

As long as the success rate reaches 70%, consider it my sponsorship for a social practice course!”

Listening to Hudson’s words, Robert breathed a sigh of relief and then rolled his eyes.

Just a batch of Magic Crystal Cards, all this fuss for what?

In the Kingdom’s largest commercial house, they couldn’t even distribute a thousand Magic Crystal Cards a year.

He wasn’t worried about Hudson’s firm’s capacity at all.

However, seeing the list of materials, Robert jumped up from his seat, staring at Hudson with an expression like he was looking at an idiot.

“Marshal Hudson, the items on this list are enough to make fifty thousand Magic Crystal Cards.

If you have money to burn, donate it to the academy; there’s no need to splurge like this!”

Magic Crystal Cards aren’t regular commodities; they’re all custom-made.

Once produced, no matter the necessity, they can only be consumed by the maker himself.

“Robert, just arrange for them to be made.

Even if they end up as dead stock, I won’t trouble you.

Don’t worry, it’s just fifty thousand cards.

Once my business starts, I could use up to five hundred thousand!”

Hudson said cheerfully.

He knew the market potential of these items better than anyone.

Not saying that everyone needed a card, but even if only one per thousand people had one, the Kingdom could absorb tens of thousands of Magic Crystal Cards.

The actual proportion of cardholders would only be higher.

Once the Near East Development Bank became widespread, if someone didn’t have a Magic Crystal Card, they’d be embarrassed to call themselves a Noble.

Adding the common people’s merchants, the entire Northern Continent could easily consume five hundred thousand Magic Crystal Cards, and that was not a bluff.

As for expanding to the entire Continent, Hudson didn’t have such a big ambition.

His connections were all in the Northern Continent, and the bank was a place built on networking, which inevitably limited the market to the Northern Continent.

“Impossible!”

“Your Marshal, we only have eight hundred students total in the academy.

Even if every student made your Magic Crystal Cards, it would take two months, seriously disrupting the teaching schedule.

Forcing it might tarnish your reputation!”

Robert categorically refused.

Practical social courses weren’t exactly practical like this.

If it was just a few days’ delay, he wouldn’t mind doing Hudson a favor, but this required too much time.

The reasons were all ready.

A Noble’s reputation was of utmost importance; he didn’t believe Hudson would risk his own name for an unreliable business plan.

“If the Arcane Academy doesn’t have enough students, there’s always the Magic Academy!

Pull both academies together for a grand competition in magical skills, I’ll sponsor the prizes.

A hundred bottles of Magic Potions that aid in cultivation, free from side effects and high-end; you can decide how to allocate them based on their market price, enough to cover the labor of making the Magic Crystal Cards.

If anyone still complains, then that’s your problem!”

Hudson said calmly.

High-end potions are essentially for fleecing the rich, with the main selling point being—expensive!

Ten Thousand Gold Coins per bottle, equivalent to a low-order Mage’s year of self-cultivation if stuck at a bottleneck.

It’s effective for High-order Mages too, although the higher the level of cultivation, the smaller the increase.

There’s no way around itu—the energy in the potions was fixed.

The cost-effectiveness was zero, but that didn’t stop people from desiring it.

After all, the improvement in cultivation was real.

Ordinary Noble Children certainly couldn’t afford it, and even among Main Family Descendants of Major Nobles, only a few could take it.

For students who were still growing, it was the best opportunity to distance themselves from their peers.

The prize worth a Million Gold Coins made Robert swallow back any argument he had.

There was no choice; it was just too much.

Focusing these resources on a few individuals could quickly create several geniuses.

The path of the Strongman is always fiercely competitive.
