East Meet West

199- Schedule 1

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 minimum common sense will bring rare goods in the capital city to gain good price. As they know that the big powers in the capital will pay great prices to gain rare things and not give their competitors any chance to strengthen themselves and pose a threat to them.

So, competition in the capital is very good. And if competition is good then, the business potential will also be high.

Then the next major city- Brown Lake city.

The Brown Lake city is also one of the two major economic backbones of Windy Country. And the reason for this is that Brown Lake city is extremely close to the ocean.

And just like how there is a huge market in the Border city, where the things obtained from the Dark Forest are sold at good prices due to the high demand. Similarly, things obtained from the ocean also have explosive demand.

Just like someone once said- Oceans are nothing but a huge treasure trove, you just need to explore them.

And the business and economy generated by Brown Lake city are just enough to justify that statement.

Many rare and precious herbs required for alchemy, ores, and other materials, are found in the ocean. And humans, who have a great sense of tasting delicacies are particularly fond of seafood, especially sea monster meat, so there is also a great demand for that. So, it is also a good place for hunters to make fortune.

And rare things found in the Ocean are auctioned at great prices, so only a stupid guy will not establish a shop or some organization in the Brown Lake city and try to get a piece of pie [fortune].

And similarly, the third major city- Border City, the city in which Orochi’s group is currently in.

Just like Brown Lake city, the border city also has similar conditions due to things that people find in the Dark forest.

So, in these three cities, the auctions held are bigger when compared to the auctions held in the 5 major towns.

In these auctions, the appearance of orange grade materials, cultivation methods, fighting techniques is guaranteed. But the same cannot be said for the auctions held in the 5 major towns of Windy Country.

It’s not that these 5 major towns of the Windy country cannot compare with the 3 major cities. It's just that, they pale a little when compared to the three major cities due to various reasons, but most importantly due to the lack of rare and precious things that can be obtained in or around these towns.

And that’s the reason for the difference between auction value between the three major cities and 5 major towns.

And the number of auctions held by three major cities and 5 major towns also differs.

In the three major cities, an auction is held every month. 11 monthly auctions and 1 yearly auction.

While the auction in the 5 major towns is only held every 2 months. So, 5 normal auctions and 1 yearly auction.

Then, Orochi enquired about when will be the auctions of each branch be held, especially the yearly auction of the other two major city branches and 5 major towns.

And when Orochi learned about their dates, he started preparing his next set of plans.

After Orochi was done asking his questions, he thanked Chand Roj for being patient enough to answer all his questions.

Chand Roj: “Mr. Orochi, please don’t joke. The things you have asked are nothing but general questions. And answering them will only bring profits for us. You don’t have to be polite.”

Then Chand Roj’s assistant arrived with the machetes that Orochi asked for.

“Mr. Orochi, these are the machetes you asked for, please look.”

These were a total of 21 machetes- Five Normal grade Level 9, Level 10, and Level 11 machetes each; four Normal grade Level 12 machetes. And two Red grade Level 1 machetes.

Orochi examined all the 21 machetes and of course, he used the Observation skill to check their stats.

.

[Unnamed] Machete:

Grade: Normal Grade Level 12

Made with Silver Iron and Bronze bone of bronze cow, auxiliary materials used are ….

Stats:

+600 Strength

+300 Agility

+2 Luck

Note: Water Element users will have their water element martial arts and magic spells enhanced by 10%.

.

[Unnamed] Machete:

Grade: Red Grade Level 1

Made with Tungsten stone and flame deer’s skull; auxiliary materials used are ….

Stats:

+1220 Strength

+500 Agility

+3 Luck

Note: Fire Element users will have their fire element martial arts and magic spells enhanced by 12%.

.

Orochi found that only 2 machetes had a ‘Luck’ stat on them, and their stats were almost equal to the stats of other machetes at the same grade.

So, he decided to buy these two machetes.

After Orochi confirmed, Chand Roj said,

“Mr. Orochi, the cost of these two machetes is 1400 gold coins, but since you are now our Mortal Grade 2 VIP member, you will get a discount of 10%.”

“But as you have previously sold your goods for 8000 gold coins, and also bought various fighting techniques and formation books worth 7000 gold coins, you should be receiving 1000 gold coins from the difference, but these 1000 gold coins will be deducted from buying these two machetes. So, you will have to pay us just 260 gold coins. ”

“But as you have decided to auction few things, the remaining money will be deducted from the profits gained after the auction, is that alright with you?”

Chand asked with a smile.

Orochi answered without any fluctuation- “Yes, that’s good.”

“Great, then please take this receipt of all the things you are auctioning in our yearly auction. After the auction is completed, please hand this over to the manager and he will deliver the money gained from auctioning your things.”

Chand Roj passed a pink paper slip to Orochi.

Orochi checked the receipt and nodded.

“OK then, we will meet again Mr. Chand.”

Orochi bid goodbye to Chand Roj and asked Armelia and June to follow.

After Orochi’s group exited, Chand Roj looked at the departing group and muttered,

“Looks like, there will be great sales in this year’s yearly auction.”

Thinking about the bonus he will receive from the sales; he rubbed his hand with excitement.
