East Meet West

198- Major Cities and Towns

Chand Roj engraved Orochi’s name on the silver card and gave it to Orochi.

And Orochi readily accepted the card.

Seeing Orochi accept the card, Chand Roj happily spoke,

“Mr. Orochi, let me tell you a few details and perks of having the VIP membership of my Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce.”

“There are different levels of VIP membership in our Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce, such as: Mortal Grade VIP Membership, Transformation Grade VIP Membership and so on...”

“Mortal Grade VIP Membership is further divided into 3 subgrades: Mortal Grade 1 VIP Membership, Mortal Grade 2 VIP Membership and Mortal Grade 3 VIP Membership.”

“Above Mortal Grade 3 VIP membership, there is Transformation grade VIP membership... but I don’t have much knowledge about that as it is above my level.”

“To qualify for the Mortal Grade VIP Membership, every customer has to make a certain amount of transaction with our Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce. And only then, depending on their total amount of transaction, they will get a VIP membership card, similar to the one that I have passed to you.”

“To get a Mortal Grade 1 VIP Membership, one has to make a transaction of at least 1000 gold coins.”

“And similarly, to get a Mortal Grade 2 VIP Membership and Mortal Grade 3 VIP Membership, one has to make a transaction of at least 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 gold coins respectively. And to get Transformation grade membership, a higher amount has to be spent.”

“So, from this, you can understand that the Mortal Grade 1 VIP Membership is the lowest VIP membership of our Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce.”

“Now, coming to the benefits of possessing a VIP membership card.”

“For any purchases made at our Golden cloud chamber of commerce, you will receive great discounts on the item’s price. And the amount of discount will increase accordingly with the VIP membership card you hold.”

“Similarly, if you sell anything at our association, the price we offer will be very reasonable when compared to other associations.”

“Next benefit of being a VIP member is that, whenever an auction is held, you won’t have to pay any entry fees and a VIP room will also be provided to you. And of course, whatever you buy in the auction, you will get a discount on that.”

“And similarly, as you know, if someone wants to auction something at our auction house, then we will take 20% share from the amount earned. And for every member holding VIP membership, we will charge less commission than the standard 20%.”

“Another benefit is that you can post various missions and tasks in our association. And higher the VIP membership you hold, lesser the charges you will pay for those missions, and depending on the grade of missions, sometimes you may not even be charged for posting missions.”

“Next benefit...”

.

Chand Roj continued introducing the benefits of being a VIP member of the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce.

In the Saurastra Kingdom’s capital, there is also a branch of the Golden Cloud chamber of commerce, and Orochi has visited it many times. So, he is well aware of the benefits that come with having a VIP membership.

And his main goal for visiting the Golden Cloud chamber of commerce is to get a VIP membership.

This is also the reason that he is willing to spend money when he could get things for free.

After Chand Roj finished speaking, Orochi asked,

“Mr. Chand Roj, I have few things to ask...”

“Yes, yes, please ask...”

Chand Roj quickly responded.

Orochi then continued,

“First question, how many branches of Golden cloud Chamber of commerce, are there in the Windy country...”

Chand Roj felt weird for a moment, but he answered quickly,

“There is one branch in almost every town and city.”

Orochi: “Does every branch host auctions?”

Chand Roj: “No, only a few branches that are situated in major towns and cities, host auctions.”

Orochi: “How many branches in the Windy country host auctions. And in which towns and cities are they situated?”

Chand Roj hesitated for a moment and then asked,

“This... I don’t understand why Mr. Orochi is enquiring about all this?”

To this Orochi simply answered,

“You see, I have attended few auctions in my life, and in every auction, I have seen few interesting and rare things that appear from time to time. So, if I fail to get things that I want in your auction, I plan to visit other auctions in the Windy country.”

“So, if you could tell me which branches of your association hold auctions and when they hold them, I will prepare a schedule and visit those auctions and see if I could get things that catch my interest.”

Hearing this Chand Roj exclaimed,

“Oh, so that’s it.”

“No problem, then let me answer your question.”

“There are a total of 7 branches of Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce which host auctions, and each one of these 7 branches is situated in the 3 major cities and 4 major towns of the Windy country.”

“The three major cities are:

The Capital city of the Windy Country,

Brown Lake City,

And this city is the last major city.”

“And the 5 major towns are: the Rock Lake Town, the Azure Cow Town, the Phet Town, the Rity Town, and the town of Chans.”

Orochi: “Can you tell me more about these places and about the auctions they hold.”

Chand Roj: “Sure.”

So, Chand Roj continued answering every question Orochi asked.

So, according to him, the Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce has a branch in every city and town. But only the branches in the 3 major cities and 5 major towns host auctions.

The reason is that only these places in the Windy country have great economic prosperity due to the availability of rare materials, plants, herbs, ores, and even monster parts in the nearby regions. So, hosting auctions in these places attracts all the people who are willing to exchange or auction their things to get a good price.

So, almost every big power whether it is a sect, or a clan, or gangs, and even the Royal family of Windy country, will attend auctions hosted at these 8 places.

But there is also a difference between the auctions hosted by these 8 places, especially between the 3 major cities and 5 major towns.

The reason for this is simple: because each of the 3 major cities has some specialty.

For example, being the capital city of Windy Country, all the major powers of Windy Country, including the Royal Family, is located in the capital city, so any businessman with common sense will bring rare goods in the capital city to gain good price.
