While Ann was busy making arrangements for the dual gate dungeon, I looked at Agatha and asked, “Are you enjoying the show?”
“A deal worth 50 devil-grade ingredients and a dual dungeon connecting the capitals of two regions, this is more entertaining than any televised show,” Agatha replied honestly.
“Do you want to continue watching or pick up where we left off earlier?” I asked Agatha playfully knowing fully well that she was dying to ask me about the VR-City project.
“Earlier I was, but now I don’t know,” Agatha said dejectedly.
“Why is that?” I asked her with a frown.
“A project with starting capital of 50-devil grade ingredients is not something I can invest in. My net worth will not even fetch me a devil ingredient much less a share in your project,” Agatha said with self-deprecation.
“Who said I was looking for invesrors? I wanted to ask if you are willing to become my distributor,” I clarified.
“Distributor, I can do that,” Agatha said with new-found confidence.
“Good, I need these cards to reach as many people as possible in the fastest way possible,” I demanded.
“Don’t worry I know people who can sell milk to a cow, but are you sure you can create so many cards in a short time? I mean did you find the supplier for the card ingredients?” Agatha enquired in concern. She had no doubts about the boy’s card creation and array mastery capabilities but she was not sure if the boy would be able to gather the large quantity of ingredients required to create the cards even with the help of the Southern Royal family.
“Don’t worry about that, I got all that covered. Just focus on your part of the sales,” I assured Agatha not knowing if I convinced her to trust me because there was no way for me to find a reliable supplier for those card ingredients in this world but that it was a different story in devil merchant code.
“My part of the sales? You have other distributors in mind?” Agatha asked in surprise learning that she wasn’t the only distributor the boy had in mind. She did not mind sharing, but she worried of the boy could create so many cards.
“Yes, I do. In a month I want about one-tenth of the world population to explore the VR-City.” I revealed my plans.
“Aah- Wyatt, I hate to rain on your dreams but I don’t think the one-tenth of the world can afford this card,” Agatha pointed out. Based on her calculation, the cost of the card created by the boy will not be cheap. Even the E-rank version of the card would cost a small fortune. With such a huge price tag expecting one-tenth of the card world’s population to explore the VR-City was a fool’s dream.
“Don’t worry I plan to sell the card at the cheapest cost possible,” the real price was not the VR-Cocoon card but the VR-City, as long as people got hooked on it I could easily make up the losses and make a hundred times that on in-game purchase. Buying a VR-Cocoon card would not be enough to enter the VR-City, people would have to pay a small amount every month to enter the VR-City after the limited-time free period was over, something like a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly subscription. This way I will have a steady stream of money coming in.
“How?” Agatha looked at the boy in confusion. Because even the lowest rank of the Sandalwood tree monster ingredients was expensive. So, how did the boy plan to make these cards cheap?
“You do know that the only reason I used Sandalwood tree monster ingredients and Sleepy Caterpillar ingredients to create the VR-Cocoon card was because of the stupid challenge? I have other better but cheap alternatives to create the VR-Cocoon cards, you do know that, right?” I looked at Agatha with a questioning gaze implying, ‘Are you dumb?’
“I knew that, I was just making sure that if you were planning to do exactly that,” Agatha said trying to hide her embarrassment.
“I will take your word for it. Anyway contact your people and get them ready, I will have the first batch of cards ready in two days,” I asked Agatha to make appropriate arrangements as I wanted these cards in the market as soon as possible.
“Got it, boss,” Agatha affirmed and got to work summoning her grimoire.
Now, that Agatha was taken care of I had to call my other distributor, Jill. She must be pissed that I have been ignoring her call and text for a while now. Well, She is easy to please. She will cool down once she hears I am going to help her make a butt load of money.
“Wyatt, this is too much. How dare you block my number after I gave you my first time?” Jill complained immediately after answering my call.
“Well, your womb tried to swallow me whole,” I defended.
“Call it even,” Jill’s answer surprised me.
I was shocked by how quickly she gave up using the fact that I blocked her number to guilt and take advantage of me in the negotiation.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm “Nope, your first time was not worth my life,” what if she lets go of this matter I did not plan to since she was the one who brought it up.
“How can you say that to my face? Believe it or not, if I tell my father that you took his precious daughter’s innocence he will send his army of assassins to kill you while you are taking a dump,” Jill seemed to be offended hearing me say that her first time was not worth me risking my life.
“Fine, let us call it even. So what is it you wanted to talk to me so urgently?” I asked pretending to not know Jill’s intention for calling me right after the VR-Cocoon card demonstration.
