Chapter 47 : Messing With The Situation
The biannual Alliance Conference which should have been held the next week has been postponed indefinitely due to some overwhelming circumstances that cannot be resolved…
The reason? The empty streets in the city is the reason. The streets which should have been filled with crowds of people is completely empty. The single being that could be seen is a meter-tall transparent slime.
“AHHHH! Don’t come over, I am only here to sell my vegetables!!”
Yet another innocent victim is born. After the Slimes were satisfied after their assault and leaves, a naked Beastman Auntie runs in a frenzy with her basket in hand. Her oily flabs trembles around vigorously and sweat drips down like the rain. Wherever she passes by, sounds of vomiting could be heard.
“It is the 3rd time for that female Hippo Beastman. It probably isn’t an accident. I guess this incident gave some people an opportWhen the first gold coin is brought back to the main body, the first one to find her way to the main body is Little Red… When she got the details of the story, she immediately requests to serve as the guard of the treasure vault, the reason being…
“I am used to sleeping on treasure. I have been insomniac for so many days, it’s about time for me to have a good nap.”
Fine, I know that it is an excuse. Going by our unspoken rules, since she was willing to put in effort, she would be entitled to half of it as a welcome present. However, with her guarding the main body, I feel at ease.
At least, if she really meets with an extremely powerful opponent that isn’t easy to deal with, Little Red’s speed in running is extremely worth trusting.
Now, the only thing that we have to be worried about is how to sell the goods afterwards. However, in the underground world, this is the thing that we need not worry about.
Alright, since everything is in place, the last thing that we need to settle is the Alliance Conference. When the Slime army starts to wither and die as predicted, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The Underground Autarch swiftly sends invitation letter for the Alliance Conference.
‘The gathering of primitives’, ‘Can those underground city lords do the Hula dance?’
TL: Hula
When the street vendors start to discuss vehemently over this topic, appropriate clothing were sent soon after the invitation letter, making those unfortunate underground city lords feel thankful towards the thoughtful organization while heaving a sigh of relief. In the market now, clothes that still could be wear had long shot up to sky price, it would be difficult to purchase them.
But at this moment, the good that were the best seller weren’t the lacking clothes, but information on the study of Power of Law.
“Still worried about the invaders and Demonic Beasts that keep harassing you? There is the nemesis of those who break the law here, the senior of the Holy Light from the same sect. Even Undead, monkeys and Half-Demons can grasp this power of the new generation — Power of Law!”
“It doesn’t cost 3 to 4 thousand, it doesn’t cost 1 to 2 thousand either, it is yours for 998 for real! Exquisite workmanship with 99 main functions. Communicating with the Origin of Order doesn’t require money and learning how to control the spells don’t require money either. Furthermore, the spells sparkle!! Stop hesitating, head on over to Sulfur Mountain City’s Envoy Base to reserve and purchase it!!”
TL: Exquisite workmanship -> Literally means the skills required to create the Hearts and arrows
“Furthermore, the first 100 buyers will receive a second chance at lottery. The top prize is the God Equipment Scattered Page of the Codex! We will send it straight to your house and even tutor you for free.”
‘Hey hey, do you know how to judge?’ ‘Judge men! Mama, you don’t have to worry about my spell incantation failing anymore. Granny, my dream of becoming a Holy Knight has been realized.’
TL: Not a typo.
“Power of Law is trustworthy. In order to make it for convenient for our big customers to comprehend and wield it, other than the basic 998 package, we even prepared a 9998 Deluxe Package for the noble you. Of course, if you feel like that this is unfitting of your high social position, we also prepared a 19998 Perfect Luxurious Package, which comes along with a lottery card, allowing you to join in the lottery for the God Equipment Scattered Page of the Codex!”
“What are you hesitating about? Our address is Vance 32nd District Tauren Road No. 88, first come first serve. While stocks last.”
Striking it rich, I started to look forward to the auction and the Alliance Conference that was around the corner.
“Master, didn’t you just bring a few hundred identical information books? Those Deluxe and Perfect Luxurious version…”
“It is all the same, all the same.”
“Aren’t you afraid that they might get even with you?”
“Hehe, Elisa, you are still too inexperienced. You have to think about the mindset of those underground city lords when they purchase goods. Those underground city lords who are willing to fork out 998 Diamonds to purchase the information don’t really bother much about spending another 9000. ‘What? You thought that it was 998 gold coin and not diamonds? Police, chase this villager away.’ When this word is spoken, those rich suckers who value their face will eat it no matter how expensive it is. Do you know what is an overlord and a Little Xiong? An overlord is someone with great wealth, the big boss. No matter what they buy, they will choose to buy the most expensive one rather than the best one! It is because they have a reputation to uphold. Look, all 4 of the Underground Autarchs bought the Perfect Luxurious Version right? They can’t afford to let anyone see them buying the normal Deluxe version. Thus, our motto for our sales it that we don’t go for the best but the most expensive. Once our business is done, we won’t have to open our shop for 10 years.”
TL: Little Xiong (??)-> Means someone who is ambitious and ruthless.
“You are really scheming.”
“Thanks for your compliments.”
