BXBX NOVEL Chapter 187 - Acquisition Mission!
Chapter 187: Acquisition Mission!
“Log in!”
In the small villa, Lorne put on his game helmet and entered the game.
With a flash of light, he reappeared in Iron Skull City.
Ding!
“The turnover of your shop, Dragon One, was 14,358.46 gold coins yesterday. The daily expenses were 13,640.54 gold coins, meaning a total profit of 717.92 gold coins.”
The moment Lorne entered the game, information regarding the shop’s earnings appeared in front of him.
It could be seen that ever since they bought the million antidotes yesterday, the sales of the shop had instantly reached a terrifying height.
In alliance dollars, it was equivalent to more than 40 million in total revenue, which was on the same level as the business level of a medium-sized corporation.
This was only a gaming shop that was less than 200 square meters!
The profits it brought were so terrifying.
Even after deducting the cost of yesterday, Lorne still earned 2.15 million alliance dollars.
In that case, it would be 64.5 million dollars a month, and 770 million dollars a year!
However, to the current Lorne, this income was not enough.
He had to obtain more gold coins as soon as possible.
To him, the money earned from a shop was only a small amount. The true source of income should be the future Cold Desolate Dragon City!
As long as he could repair the Cold Desolate Dragon City, he could obtain countless shops that belonged to him. Moreover, he could also obtain his own Alchemist Association. At that time, he would become a top tycoon in the game and in reality, standing at the top of the two worlds!
“Very good. I’ll go find Barres now.”
Lorne arrived at the Blacksmith Guild. This was also one of the largest businesses in Iron Skull City. He had to create such an organization in the future.
When he entered the Blacksmith Guild, he immediately saw the blacksmiths working with all their might. They seemed to be in a much more fervent state than they had been in the past few days.
“President Barres, has there been a war recently?” Lorne found Barres and asked him.
“Yes, adventurer.”
Barres was reading the report in front of him. When he saw Lorne, he immediately smiled and greeted him.
He had already learned from Doge that this adventurer did not only rely on the favor of the Dragon of Light to reach this stage, what he truly relied on was his talent!
Although he was still young, he had wisdom that even Doge admired. A genius like him naturally had to be respected enough. He might have to rely on him in the future.
“Lord Hamut, the Dragon of Light, discovered that a dark follower had fumbled his way into the ruins of the war. After Iron Skull City knew of the situation, it immediately organized an army to leave the southern front and go to the ruins of the war to eliminate the undead that caused trouble there.”
At this point, Barres looked disconsolate, as if he were in trouble.
Lorne’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, “President, have you encountered a problem?”
“That’s right.” Barres smiled bitterly and said, “I just received a new notification from Iron Skull City. Due to the urgent situation in the ruins of the war, the army that rushed over from the southern defense line chose to travel quickly in light equipment. They did not carry most heavy weapons, especially magic cannons. This kind of thing needs high-grade ores to refine enough rare materials to forge. Our guild does not have that many resources for the time being.”
In the “Divine Realm”, surveying ore veins was a relatively difficult thing, especially high-grade ore veins. That kind of place was filled with high-level monsters. It was difficult to even enter normally, much less mine in large quantities.
Coupled with the fact that Iron Skull City was at war all year round, the consumption of mineral resources was very huge. This led to the Blacksmith Guild needing to purchase resources from other main cities.
But it was too late to transport them now. Barres had to deliver the equipment within a few days, which posed a huge problem for him.
“President Barres, I heard that the gnomes like to hoard ores. Perhaps you can borrow a batch of resources temporarily from them.”
As he was about to find the gnomes, he wanted to find out more.
“I’ve thought about it, but it doesn’t work.”
Barres shook his head and said helplessly, “The gnomes do have relevant ores and have stored a lot, but they strictly control such resources. Without a good enough friendship and reason, there’s no way to transport any ore from them.”
“Um… Guild Leader, I’m the adventurer that the Dragon God values the most and have some understanding of mechanical knowledge. Why don’t you let me go to the gnomes and negotiate with them?”
Lorne immediately took the initiative to apply. He had the [Treasure Seeking] skill and could detect the location of the mine. As for the gnome’s robots, even if he could not obtain the ore from the gnomes, he could mine them himself. At that time, he would definitely make a killing.
“You?”
Barres did not know what to say. This young man did not seem to know his place. Other than the gnomes who had been studying machinery for thousands of years, no one else could master such a thing.
But, despite his thoughts, Barres agreed.
Because he had no better solution, he could only let this genius adventurer give it a try. There might be a surprise.
“The gnomes admire the Dragon God very much. With the Angel’s Wings, you might really be able to persuade those stubborn fellows.”
“As for the price of the ores, the highest price I can give you is 5 gold coins per unit. I hope the final ore will not be less than 10,000 units.”
Barres offered a high price for Lorne without much expectations.
The ores that the Blacksmith Guild needed were at least 100,000 units of ores. Only with so many ores could they have enough magic cannons in the army.
However, thinking of the difficulty of the mission, Barres did not want to give the young man too much pressure, so he reduced the requirements a lot.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining the mission: [Purchase of High-Grade Ores]!”
“Mission Description: Head to the Gnome Tribe and help the Blacksmith Guild purchase enough high-grade ores. The highest price for this purchase is 5 gold coins and the quantity is between 10,000-100,000 units!”
“Prompt: The amount of ores you purchase will directly affect the final reward of the mission.”
Very good, the mission was obtained.
Of course, this mission was not important. Most importantly, he had obtained the coordinates of the Gnome Tribe and had obtained the right to use the teleportation circle because he was handling official business. This was great.
Without hesitation, Lorne arrived at the teleportation array leading to the gnomes. With a flash of light, he vanished.
