Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Business
Xu You, who went offline to eat, did not know that his identity had already been guessed by the kindergarten and the others. As soon as he finished his meal, he immediately ran to the black market in Recovery City because he had the money to buy the materials left behind by Droca.

This was not the first time Xu You had come to the black market. He arrived at the mailbox beside Angel Square and sent an email to Droca. In less than 10 minutes, Droca appeared.

“Brother Whiteboard, you came to find me so soon? Did you sell the gold ores to your friend?” Droca asked Xu You as soon as they met. Apparently, Xu You came looking for him a day later, which surprised Droca, the elven merchant.

“That’s not true. The gold ore hasn’t been sold yet, and my friend’s capital chain has also gone wrong. However, I have the money to help you digest the goods in the warehouse. Why, isn’t Brother De welcoming me?” Xu You replied with a smile. Last time, he had tricked Droca into saying that the gold ore was sold to a friend of his. Now, he couldn’t let slip a word. It was said that a lie would be made up of countless lies. The current Xu You was it.

However, it was true that the gold ore hadn’t been sold. It was just that Xu You intentionally controlled it to prevent a large amount of gold ore from appearing on the market. However, he couldn’t tell Droca about this matter. Moreover, Droca never knew the best. Xu You seemed to have already eaten Droca. Who told Droca to have only one player customer?

“How is that possible? I welcome you very much. I look forward to seeing you every day, Brother Whiteboard. I wonder how much money you brought this time. I still have a lot of goods.” Droca hurriedly explained.

“Brother De, how many goods do you still have?”

“That’s still so much. After you buy all the gold ores, you still have 1,200 sets of iron ores and 600 magic stones.”

“Really? A day has passed and none of these goods can be sold?” Xu You asked curiously.

“That’s right. Didn’t I tell you last time that I can only sell materials on the black market, but the customers who come here don’t need such low-grade materials like me anymore?” Droca shook her head dejectedly.

“That’s too bad, but it doesn’t matter. I can buy all these goods for you.” Xu You said.

“Really?” When Droca heard this, she was overjoyed.

“Of course, but my warehouse isn’t big enough, so I’ll help you buy the 600 magic stones first. As for the 1,200 sets of iron ores, I’ll help you digest them after I clear my warehouse.”

“Alright, there’s absolutely no problem with this!” Droca was very happy.

“Then how much are you going to sell me for?” Xu You knew that Droca would definitely sell. He didn’t know how much Droca would sell him. Last time, Droca said that he would sell him for 10 gold coins and 20 yuan. He felt that it was quite cheap! Because the magic stones in the auction house outside could fetch 1 gold coin.

“Uh, tell me about this whiteboard brother.” Droca originally wanted to say 10 gold and 20 yuan directly, but when she remembered what Xu You said to him last time, she swallowed it back into her stomach.

But Xu You didn’t want to haggle any more. The reason he haggled last time was because he didn’t have any money. Now that he was rich, he had to let Droca taste some sweetness. Otherwise, what if Droca went on strike in the future? He was counting on Droca to work for him all the time. So Xu You smiled and said, “How about 10 gold and 20 yuan as you said last time?”

“Hmm? No bargaining?” Droca asked innocently.

“No, magic stones are sold well. The price of 10 gold coins and 20 yuan is very reasonable!” Xu You almost laughed when he heard Droca’s adorable question.

“Hey, I told you I’ve always been fair. No problem, let’s go to the warehouse to trade now.” Hearing Xu You’s words, Droca straightened her back.

“Alright.” Xu You nodded.

Thus, the two of them returned to Recovery City from the one-way teleportation portal on the black market. Soon after, they arrived at Droca’s warehouse. The 600 magic stones were worth 300 gold coins. Xu You gave them to Droca straightforwardly. Droca also traded all 600 magic stones to Xu You.

Actually, magic stones were far less valuable than gold ores. These 600 magic stones could only earn 300 gold coins at most. However, Xu You’s main purpose in coming here today was not to buy something, but to discuss something with Droca.

‘”Brother De, actually, I have something to discuss with you this time. Let’s go to the tavern and have a drink, shall we?” Xu You said.

“Oh? No problem.” Droca was stunned for a moment before smiling and agreeing.

“Then let’s go to the Terror Tavern.”

…

The Terror Tavern was still bustling with activity as usual. Players and NPCs were having fun together. Xu You and Droca found a remote corner to sit down and ordered some food and drinks before talking about things.

“Brother Whiteboard, what do you want to discuss with me?” Droca asked.

“It’s like this. I want Brother De to continue to help me dig up some gold ores. How about I buy them in a group of two gold coins in the future?” Xu You said.

“Eh? Brother, do you still need gold ores?”

“That’s right. Actually, brother, I also have my own sideline business. The reason I was able to earn money to help you purchase materials this time is because my business has improved a little. As my strength has increased, my sideline businesses also began to need gold ores as materials, so I turned to Brother De for help.” Xu You opened his eyes and said nonsense. In any case, he didn’t want money to trick him.

‘”That’s great. Previously, I hesitated whether my caravan would dig for gold ores or other materials. After all, these materials were almost unsold. If it weren’t for Brother Whiteboard’s help, my business would have been ruined. Now that Brother is asking me for help, how can I stand by and help you? Furthermore, helping Brother is helping me!” Droca said excitedly after hearing Xu You’s words.

“That’s right. Everyone benefits from each other and earns money together.”

“Well said, Brother Whiteboard, please rest assured. I will definitely do this for you!” Droca patted her chest and said.

“Thank you, Brother De.” Xu You was laughing like a dog tail flower, so that his business could continue.

“Oh right, I wonder how many gold ores you want, brother?” Droca thought of another question.

“As much as you have for the time being, Brother De, please don’t worry about digging. Dig harder!”

“Alright, alright, alright, alright. But as long as it’s gold ore? You know that gold ore is rare and has a low refresh rate. Most of the areas where gold ore is distributed are iron ore, so …”

Xu You understood what Droca meant. He hoped that Xu You would also buy the iron ore, However, he did not pay attention to the price of iron ore at the auction house before, Therefore, he didn’t know if iron ore could make money, but when he looked back, he realized that there was always a large demand for iron ore. Droca said last time that iron ore was 80 silver coins a group, so he believed that he could make money. Xu You smiled and replied, “Brother De, don’t worry, I’ll buy iron ore as well. At most, I’ll open up more businesses. I can always use iron ore.”

“Thank you so much, Brother Whiteboard. Don’t worry, I will immediately send someone to dig. Brother, when do you want it?”

“I’ll buy it once a week. Brother De should be able to dig up 100 sets of gold ores in a week, right?” Xu You asked with a smile.

‘”Brother Whiteboard, please rest assured. There are no more than 300 sets of gold ores a week. I’ll give you as much as I can!” Droca said confidently.

“Alright, it’s settled then. Come, let’s drink a toast!” Xu You slapped his thigh and stood up to raise his glass.

“Cheers!” Droca also stood up.

After drinking a full glass, the two sat down again. Xu You wiped the corners of his mouth and said, ‘Brother De, we are considered partners. I will tell you the truth about some things. I think you need to upgrade your caravan.’

“Oh? Why?” Droca asked.

‘”Think about it. The strength of our migrants is constantly increasing, and the equipment and items we need will also increase. Therefore, the Level 30 equipment materials will definitely become obsolete. At that time, the materials I need will not be gold ores and iron ores, but even more advanced materials such as Secret Silver Ores and Serpentine Silver Ores. What can you do if your caravan can’t dig them up?”

“Sigh, I know all about this, but how can I afford to upgrade with the entire caravan and spend time and money in my small business?” Droca sighed.

“Then can’t we hire higher-level miners?” Xu You asked again. The’upgrade ‘he was talking about did not necessarily mean killing monsters to level up. Employment of high-level employees was also a way of upgrading.

“Senior miners are too expensive, and I can’t afford them. Besides, my employees and I have been working together for many years, so I can’t bear to leave them behind.” Droca shook her head.

Xu You didn’t expect that Droca was still a man who valued kindness. He couldn’t help but advise, “Since that’s the case, Brother De should spend some time and money on your employees. If they don’t level up, they will still be eliminated. You also have to increase your strength.” After so long, Droca was still at level 32. This left Xu You speechless. NPCs didn’t like to practice leveling, did they?

“This …”

‘”Think about it again. My sideline business will eventually be upgraded. When the time comes, I will need more high-grade ores, and your caravan won’t be able to dig it up. Then I’ll have to change partners. When your caravan is eliminated, it will be you and your caravan who will suffer the loss.”

“… I understand! If I don’t improve, I will be eliminated. I thought too much before. I should have let my caravan increase its strength a long time ago.” Droca didn’t hesitate for long this time and quickly became resolute. Xu You’s words made sense. In fact, he understood everything. In the past, he was simply optimistic that low-grade materials could make money. Unfortunately, reality was too ruthless.

“It’s great that Brother De can figure it out. May our cooperation last forever! Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

In the midst of all this toasting, Xu You paved the way for his future fortune!
