Chapter 65: Value

  Chapter 65: Value

  "Lord Hua Yun, I've taken care of the task you entrusted to me. The cooperative partner I found is Anderson Merchant Association, a second-class merchant association from the Audley Empire!" Rodi's first task after returning to the manor was to report back to Hua Yun.

  "What's the Anderson Chamber of Commerce? What kind of chamber is that? And what kind of person is the president?" As soon as Luo Di said he had finished his task, Hua Yun immediately stopped what she was doing and asked, after all, this cooperative partner was someone Hua Yun planned to cooperate with for a long time, so some things had to be clarified.

  "Haha, what I, Roddy, have accomplished is certainly not bad. The Anderson Merchant Association isn't very large in scale, the president's name is Andrew, who is only in his thirties this year. This merchant association was founded by their grandfather, Anderson, dozens of years ago, but its scale has never been large. Later, after Andrew took over, within a short span of several years, he transformed this small merchant association into a second-rate merchant association under the proud empire. Therefore, Andrew holds high prestige in his family and is also the one who makes decisions for the Anderson Merchant Association. Most importantly, this Anderson has great influence."

  Here is the translation:

  "Thinking of this, Rody couldn't help but smile when he thought of Andre's previous attempts to dissuade his brother from paying: "As a second-rate merchant guild, Anderson Merchant Guild's annual income won't be very high, but Andre dared to use 3 million gold coins to buy those three divine fruits. This person has a keen eye and great courage, I think it's quite good, and also very meticulous. Haha, he even sent an eighth-rank expert to follow me all the way here, I reckon that expert is still outside the manor now. But being able to invite an eighth-rank warrior with just a second-rate merchant guild's strength, Andre really has some means!"

  For someone like Anderson, Rody is extremely appreciative. He himself is also a very bold person, daring to choose the profession of pharmacist and relying on Huayun as an eighth-grade pharmacist. This kind of boldness is not something that ordinary people can match.

  Rody, as a pharmacist, didn't have much direct combat power, but as someone who was only one step away from reaching the Saint rank, his perception ability was extremely terrifying. Xiao Qi, as a warrior, wasn't very familiar with stealth, and naturally got detected by Rody.

  To complete Huayun's task, Rody had already conducted a simple investigation on the merchant group that came this time in the previous days.

  Hua Yun nodded, a second-rate merchant being able to invite an eighth-rank great martial artist was already a testament to Andrew's abilities. Even Habernah, the Earl of Haborne, who was the lord of a city and an Imperial Earl, had only a seventh-rank white gold martial artist as his strongest subordinate.

  What's more important is that Hua Yun believes in Luo Di's vision, a man who has traveled across the continent and interacted with countless people.

  A loud clang echoed through the courtyard as a crisp sound of a fallen weapon was heard.

  "Really, it's really true, this divine fruit can actually raise anyone's cultivation by a whole rank, I just released fifth-rank White Silver Battle Qi!" Andrew stood there muttering to himself, his eyes staring blankly ahead, filled with emptiness, as if he had completely forgotten about everything around him. A terrifying red flush quickly rose to his cheeks, revealing the excitement in his heart at this moment.

  "Big brother, big brother what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Seeing Andrew like this, Andre immediately cried out. At this moment, Andrew looked like a patient who had lost his mind, his eyes were dull and his body was slightly trembling.

  "Was there something wrong with the divine fruit from before?" Andrei wondered, just as he was about to call for a priest from the royal city, but Andrew's large hand grasped his arm.

  "Big brother, are you okay? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?" Seeing big brother come back to his senses, Andre couldn't help but ask with concern.

  "Haha, great, Second Brother, did you see that just now? I actually managed to release fifth-grade White Silver Battle Qi. In terms of both speed and power, I've reached the level of a fifth-grade White Silver Warrior."

  Andrew looked excited, but he had calmed down a bit. Andre couldn't help but say: "Brother, isn't it just a Divine Fruit that can instantly upgrade anyone above 5th rank? Do you need to be so excited? This fruit can only increase strength for an hour, and its practicality is similar to the 6th rank's Divine Fruit. It's worth at most a few tens of thousands of gold coins, but you actually spent 3 million gold coins on three of them! That guy before was also willing to pay that price, it's crazy! Brother, as the tribe leader and guild president, I shouldn't be saying this, but I really can't understand... 3 million gold coins could even hire an 8th rank great warrior, you're spending it like this... sigh..."

  As for Andrew's wisdom, Andre had always been very admiring of it, and the two had a great relationship, but he really couldn't understand what was wrong with his big brother today!

  "Practicality and sixth-order divine fruit are almost the same, right, second brother, you're absolutely right!" Andrew looked at Andre with a serious face: "The practicality of this divine fruit is at most only at the level of a sixth-order divine fruit, but I'm not an idiot, nor am I stupid, and Mr. Rodi isn't crazy either, yet our transaction was completed, do you know why?"

  "...". Hearing his older brother say this, Andrei was momentarily stunned. "Brother, I..."

  "Alas!" Andrew shook his head and said, "Second brother, do you know what kind of thing makes the most money in this world? It's not the Nine-Tiered Divine Fruit or divine artifacts. These things are the most practical, but our Anderson Merchant Guild doesn't have the power to possess such things yet. Moreover, it's not that the less practical something is, the less valuable it becomes. The value of an item depends on how many people need it and its rarity on the continent."

  "What's the use of a Golden Lotus Tulip as just a flower? But this small flower has a market price of tens of thousands of gold coins on the mainland, almost comparable to some low-grade Seventh-Order Divine Fruits. It's precisely because many people like Golden Lotus Tulips, but the number of Golden Lotus Tulips on the Ailen mainland is extremely scarce."

  Andrew continued, "If these two remaining Divine Fruits were to be given to a 5th-tier warrior, their value would be limited. However, if they were sold to one of the Four Great Empires or a Plant Master... If that Plant Master could research and develop a method to cultivate these Divine Fruits, their value would far exceed 3 million gold coins. To say nothing of others, if Master Bisfam knew there were still Divine Fruits in the world, he would definitely be willing to trade one Sacred-tier Fruit for them. Unfortunately, Master Bisfam has always been reclusive and hidden deep in the mountains, so no one on the entire continent knows his whereabouts."

  After hearing what Andrew said, Andre finally realized and understood the true value of these divine fruits.

  "Things are precious because they're rare, and we don't have to worry about anyone else on the mainland having this divine fruit. Didn't Old Man Rodi say that at least for three months, no one else on the Allen continent will have a divine fruit like this."

  As a businessman, the most important thing is to have a unique perspective and grasp of business opportunities, as well as the courage to do whatever it takes, and Andrew can do just that. His previous actions may seem meticulous, but they are actually quite adventurous, yet he has the courage to take action.

  Such a person may lose everything in gambling, but as long as the faith in his heart is not destroyed, he will rise to greatness sooner or later!

  Andrew may not have known that it was because of his actions today that he eventually became the first Chamber of Commerce in Allen Continent!
