Chapter 313 - 313 The Greedy Su Wan
313 The Greedy Su Wan
Su Wan felt that this opportunity was the icing on the cake. Everybody was grateful to her for coming up with the idea.
When Felix reported that all the warehouses were empty, Su Wan could finally take a break. Her mind was filled with thoughts of getting rich.
[Gold Coins: 200 tons, Wood: 150 tons, Stone:300 tons, Iron Ore: 170 tons.]
The total amount of resources was about 820 tons. Su Wan couldn’t be happier.
“Felix, the Dark Region City is my new best friend!” said Su Wan.
Felix, who had also gained a lot today, smiled brightly.
Su Wan was simply too excited to calm down. She took a few deep breaths and composed herself. She wanted to return to her territory and upgrade it as soon as possible.
After the upgrade, the Lords would tremble in fear at the sight of her territory.
Felix looked like he had had something in his mind. “Vice President Su Wan, today’s transaction went perfectly. However, I feel like we can deepen this cooperation.”
“How so?” asked Su Wan.
“It’s a good idea to repair and sell old and damaged weapons. However, I think that they are bound to run out at this rate. What if we buy new equipment and weapons instead of only old ones?” asked Felix. “The underground world has no shortage of ores, and every area has its own forging expert. In the past, it was a risky move because nobody knew if weapons would sell much. If we offer to buy newly forged weapons at a higher price, the other merchants will definitely agree. That way we can still sell the old, repaired weapons with the newly forged ones which could be sold at a higher rate. I do need your consent for this, Vice President Su Wan.”
Su Wan looked at Felix with surprise. She didn’t expect him to be so sharp when it came to business.
If she and Xu Yuan disagreed with the idea, then it will be put on hold. Overcapacity was what the Dark Region City was afraid of. They didn’t want to invest in something that would just pile up and collect dust while bringing them no profit at all.
The underground world had the means of production but no market before. Now, they had the market, so they needed to find the means of production.
The Lords would definitely buy weapons. They had many troops who would be stronger with better weapons and equipment.
“Felix, that is a great idea! I promise you that I will buy the weapons and equipment off of your hands as long as they are of good quality!”
Felix smiled radiantly. That was the answer he wanted to hear the most.
“Vice President Su Wan, meeting you and His Majesty, Xu Yuan, has been the greatest fortune of Dark Region City. I can even believe that the gods of darkness are looking out for you and me.”
The two people reached an agreement, and their deal was finalized.
The merchants were just getting ready to depart the Dark Region City with their caravans when an announcement made them even more excited.
“From now on, Dark Region City will continue to purchase weapons and equipment on a large scale. Moreover, we are expanding our trade to include new and better weapons. The price that we can offer you is tempting.”
The merchants would have doubted such an announcement at any other time. However, their transaction had been good today. Their caravans were full of food! These merchants were from areas that had a massive shortage of food. As long as they got paid in food units, they didn’t mind bringing new and better weapons to trade with the Dark Region City.
The first thing these merchants did after reaching their own areas was to start forging weapons for the next trip.
The news swept throughout the underground world like a storm. The human Overlord from the surface attracted everyone’s attention.
The Dark Region City did not hide Su Wan’s title. Su Wan was now as famous as the Dark Demon Dragon with a bounty of ten million units of food on his head.
There were many who looked upon Su Wan with greedy eyes. However, Xu Yuan’s presence at her side always deterred them.
After the transaction was completed, the Dark Region City arranged a grand banquet in honor of Su Wan.
After the sumptuous dinner, Su Wan didn’t head to the room that was prepared for her. Instead, she sat in the hall with the various officials of the Dark Region City. She sipped her tea and chatted with them.
Xu Yuan wasn’t interested in small talk, so he returned to the room to rest.
Everyone was in a good mood. Su Wan thought about the Legendary Title she had obtained today. She thought of an idea!
“Felix, can I ask you for a favor?” she asked.
Felix was red from drinking. Everyone turned to look at Su Wan. Her current status in the underground city was very high. No one dared ignore her words.
“Vice President Su Wan, please do so. As long as the Dark Region City has the capability of fulfilling your wish, it will do so unconditionally,” said Felix.
“My territory might be at war in the future.”
“The Dark Region City has just finished a war. We have suffered serious losses, but Vice President Su Wan, we will send troops to support you in any way we can. That is the best we can do. The dwarves are still targeting our city, after all.”
“No, no. I don’t need military help. I don’t want your troops. My territory doesn’t lack troops,” said Su Wan with a smile.
Felix was confused. “Then, what do you seek?”
“Felix, you mentioned the alchemist last time. He has been doing wonders for the territory. I want more heroes like him who can help with research and development.”
“Vice President Su Wan, heroes are the pillars of power. We don’t have extra heroes to spare in the Dark Region City,” said Felix bitterly.
