Chapter 78: Monopoly!

“Friend, all the Purification Crystals are here.”

Barres pushed open the door to a long, dusty warehouse filled with sparkling white crystals.

The Purification Crystal was an individual tool and could not be stacked in the bag. Therefore, 300,000 purification crystals needed 300,000 slots to store in the bag.

“Wow, so many crystals. How many trips do we have to take?” Super Rich muttered behind him.

The current players only had 100 slots. In other words, they needed to go through 3,000 trips to bring all the crystals out of this place.

“Friend, where do you want to move these potions? As long as it’s in the main city, I can get someone to help move them.”

Barres thought so too.

After all, even an NPC like him had never seen a military bag that could carry so many resources.

However…

Lorne said nothing.

He walked to the small crystal mountain and touched a Purification Crystal.

The moment he touched it, a huge area of the brilliant crystal hill disappeared.

Lorne continued to touch them, each time bringing away thousands of Purification Crystals.

The crystal hill became shorter and shorter.

In the Dragon’s Treasure Vault, the crystals gradually formed a small mountain.

In less than a minute, the entire crystal hill disappeared from the warehouse.

Seeing this magical scene, even Barres was stunned.

However, he understood very well. After all, this was an adventurer who could obtain the favor of the Dragon God at Level 20. He definitely had a treasure given by the Dragon God.

At the side, Super Rich’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Leader, you’re too powerful! That’s 300,000 items!”

When he had just entered the game, Super Rich would not have thought anything of it. However, as he came into contact with more and more people, he became increasingly aware of the rules of the game.

300,000 units of supplies was like a huge mountain to the players, but the leader lived up to his reputation. Even this could not stump him.

This was really awesome.

…

“Friend, happy cooperation.”

Barres accompanied Lorne outside the guild.

At this moment, other customers arrived at the guild. Barres waved and prepared to entertain the guests.

But at this moment, Lorne stopped him, “Wait, President Barres. I have something to ask of you.”

Hearing this, Barres was confused.

But after listening to Lorne’s explanation, Barres immediately accepted it.

“No problem, that’s a small matter. It just so happens that I haven’t seen that old guy, Doge, in a while.”

Barres laughed.

Then, as the guide, he led Lorne and Super Rich to another huge building.

What Lorne had entrusted him with was simple.

Apart from the Purification Crystal, there was also something that could solve the problem they would face in the ruins of the war.

That was the special antidote refined by the Alchemist Association.

If Lorne wanted to sell them for a high price, he had to keep both items in his hands. Otherwise, the price of the Purification Crystal would not increase.

Therefore, he had to make a trip to the Alchemist Association.

The same thing would happen at the Blacksmith Guild, so Lorne brought Barres with him.

With him as the middleman, the subsequent conversation would be even smoother.

…

“Acquire all of them? Delayed payment?”

It was the same reaction as Barres had.

However, President Doge was clearly much better at business than Barres. He did not need Lorne’s explanation to understand the meaning of the word.

But now he wondered why Barres would be the go-between for this young adventurer.

This did not seem like his style.

As he wondered, Bares pulled him aside and whispered something in his ear.

Then, it dawned on Doge.

“So Mr. Tyrant has become a member of the Angel Corps. I’m sorry for my impoliteness.”

President Doge bowed respectfully, then began to chat with Lorne about the postponement.

The subsequent negotiations were very successful. The agreement between Lorne and the Alchemist Association was quickly reached.

It was different from the Blacksmith Guild.

The Alchemist Association produced a special antidote that only gave 24 hours of protection.

The Purification Crystal had seven days of immunity.

Therefore, the price of the antidote was even lower. It only cost 50 bronze coins each.

Of course, this was also a friendly price. If he sold it to other players, it would cost at least 1 silver coin per serving.

Before signing the contract, Lorne added another term, “President Doge, I hope that I will also sell all the antidotes that are produced in the next ten days. During this period, I will purchase all the potions at the price of 50 bronze coins. What do you think?”

“That would be great.” President Doge laughed loudly and said, “If Mr. Lorne can really reserve all the production, I will even let most of the alchemists in the guild start refining such potions.”

“That’s great.”

That was what Lorne had been waiting for.

With this treaty, the players of Iron Skull City could not avoid him.

At that time, he could sell as many as he wanted.

Speaking of which, he really had to thank the Dragon of Light. Without his warning and [Angel’s Wings], this contract would not have been possible.

…

Then, Lorne left the Alchemist Association feeling satisfied.

When he was signing the contract with the two high-level NPCs, Lorne had even obtained their affinity, which was a good harvest.

After all, the two of them were important NPCs in Iron Skull City. In the future, there would definitely be more things that would intersect with them. At that time, the high affinity points would be useful.

He returned to the streets.

Super Rich could not help but ask, “Leader, did you buy so many potions because there’s poison in the ruins of the war?”

The words surprised Lorne.

But soon, Lorne understood everything.

Actually, it was normal to guess all of this.

After all, the effect of the antidote was so obvious, it had to be used there.

After purchasing hundreds of thousands of potions and crystals, it was obvious that he knew that the other players would definitely go somewhere.

At this point, everything became clear.

There was only one place that the players would go.

It was the ruins of war that was currently having an event mission!

“Yes.” Lorne nodded, “According to rumors, there is a special poison in the ruins of the war. These things can be used…”

There were some things that did not need to be stated clearly, especially regarding business matters.

Almost in the next second, Super Rich said, “I see. But Leader, shouldn’t you be visiting various shops and collecting the rest of their stock too?”
