Surviving The Fourth Calamity

64: Chapter 61: Hill’s Booming Business_2 64: Chapter 61: Hill’s Booming Business_2 Hill didn’t hesitate to raise a barrier around himself.

He cherished his life and wasn’t up for dealing with so many players.

Hill had great faith in Baldy’s ability to handle these affairs.

As expected, Baldy’s booming voice rang out, “Look, the NPC doesn’t want to deal with outsiders!

He’s just here to sell goods.

It was us who first encountered him in Obastian.

You can only blame your bad luck.”

Someone questioned, “Then how did you deal with him?

“I can go in, but you can’t!

If you want the shop’s core, spit out your numbers.

I’ll discuss it with him.

Moreover, you’ve also been to Master Fran’s place; it’s always first come, first served, isn’t it?

Wasn’t it me who took you there!

You guys fought over the items for yourselves and didn’t share any with me.

This item wasn’t sold by the NPC before, he thought it wasn’t worth it.

If you want a lot, maybe Master Fran will start selling them too.

This guy here doesn’t appear all the time, once this transaction is over, who knows when you’ll see him again.

You better figure out how much you need fast!

We can only wait for him to come, we can’t find him.”

“What are you playing dumb for?

Isn’t this just Polanio next to Master Fran’s territory?”

“Yeah, it’s Baron Polanio!

But when he appeared as a lord, did you manage to deal with him successfully?

Apart from the initial period, wasn’t it only that mage called List who came out to handle things?

It was the same when we went.

No matter the affair, he only showed up during the initial period, then it was always his, the Tower Spirit, who handled things.

The scattered ones settled in his territory also said that, apart from the initial five, no one else saw him when they went.

The guy is a mage, uninterested in worldly affairs.

Having the Tower Spirit handle things was enough!

This time he’s going out on a journey, so he’s just using us for practice first.”

In his heart, Hill silently applauded Baldy.

“Alright, only you can babble on.

Anyway, we can’t do anything but listen to your nonsense!”

Hill glanced over; this was Snow Cloud Peak.

He really understood Baldy.

“Isn’t he staying for two more days?

Just don’t stop our allies from coming to buy.”

“Then you must remember, men can come after 2:00 PM, the earlier times are reserved for the girls, and the girls from your clans can also come earlier.

Of course, if you especially want to squeeze in among the women, then I can do nothing about it.”

“Come on, Baldy, stop being a downer; no one wants to be named and shamed by women for this!” Snow Cloud Peak said impatiently, “We got it; we’ll notify the clan members.”

“You need to remember to keep it a secret.

Although I’ve set those guild members as city access denied, there’s no way to stop them from coming to buy using scattered accounts.”

“Baldy, are you dumb?

Can’t you set a specific time for the scattered ones?

During other times, only allow allies.”

“Are you the dumb one?” Snow Cloud Peak cursed, “Do you want the scattered ones to side with them when we fight guild battles?

Even if we don’t get help from scattered ones, there’s no need to make them a hindrance!

Calculate it, do all our members combined outnumber scattered ones’ healers?”

“I’m not that dumb!

That’d offend all the female players among the scattered ones!

They might not buy, but preventing them from buying would seal our fate!

Having offended the women, do you think many men will stay rational?” Perfect Bald spoke up without hesitation, “With so few people from Black Rose, the scattered ones could spit and flood our city!”

“Well, then I’ll quickly notify the people in the guild to buy everything they can today!” The reprimanded one said sulkily.

“Perfect Bald, hurry up and communicate with the NPC.

Try to get more items out today.

Keeping this a secret until tonight would be a miracle,” Snow Cloud Peak instructed Baldy.

“You guys better check out those pricier ones, I feel like the rich ladies are about to show up.”

“Did your guild’s ladies go bragging on the forums or what?

Especially that one trying to collect all Twelve Zodiac!

Even if she doesn’t say where she bought them from, does it help?”

Perfect Bald chuckled foolishly and nodded, “They just left, said they were going to coordinate outfits, planning to take some photos!”

“Oh!

Mr.

Hill doesn’t sell potions.” Perfect Bald changed the subject, “These items are just the icing on the cake, nothing crucial that you can’t live without, so what’s the rush?

Anyway, I wouldn’t dare stop them!”

“You just keep showing off, Perfect Bald!”

Perfect Bald, grinning, walked towards Hill with a boss-like stride.

Although Hill almost wanted to trip him as he dashed towards the screen, he eventually restrained his emotions and let him in.

“Mr.

Hill, can we put more goods out today?

Our allies have come, and they want to buy a lot of things.

I’m guessing tonight, or maybe tomorrow, a lot of scattered ones will come running.”

Hill nodded his head and called Srei over, instructing him to ensure all goods were promptly restocked today.

Then turned to Baldy, “Shall I restock the jewelry until 5:00 PM?”

Baldy, suddenly enlightened, quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, thank you Mr.

Hill for remembering.

I almost got carried away and offended all the girls.”

He quickly turned around, grabbing the males among those clan leaders outside, and strode out of the shop door, waving goodbye leaving behind only a group of female players.

Throughout the day, Hill could only prop his chin, watching Srei’s figure continuously flicker.

It seems the players really made a lot of money from William.

Everything Hill sold here was a luxury, and the alchemy jewelry was just a bit better than the standard equipment they got from completing tasks for William.

If it weren’t for money, not so many people would chase after prettiness.

After all, for many people, “cost-effective” is just a self-consoling term when they’re broke.

At 4:00, Srei suddenly reminded him that someone he once recorded in the shop’s core had appeared.

Before setting out, Hill had let Srei copy all contents of the shop’s core, so this person Hill vividly remembered was the memorable rich lady from when they were in Obastian.

This lady indeed was well-informed.

She even showed up during the last hour of the ladies’ rush-buying period.

Hill instructed Srei to also lay out the most ostentatious part of his memory.

When he was younger, he had once tried to build a good relationship with Melanie.

Because of Melanie’s love for jewelry, it reminded him of his own mother: Madam Wang, who adored big arrays of jewelry and loved the dazzling aura of royal jewels, once made Hill create computer models of all her favorite jewelry.

So Hill drew many royal jewelry designs of his world for Melanie.

But although Melanie accepted them, she told Lina that Hill liked women’s things, predicting he’d never amount to much later on.

Hurt by this painful lesson, Hill decided never to get emotionally involved with Melanie again.

Later when clearing out Melanie’s jewelry storage, he found many jewelry designs he’d given her executed.

Those Melanie selected were ones using the most gemstones, incredibly lavish, so many that their functions were actually diminished due to performance conflicts, all style and no substance, making them useless alchemy jewelry for performance.

For Melanie, who still held some mage pride, these were only to be kept for display, never to be used.

Garners of the Black Rose Clan, in Hill’s observation, only chose from those jewelry pieces that matched their magic attributes exactly to their satisfaction.

But this shopping spree rich lady, Hill remembered clearly, she was the type to acquire one of everything without discerning attributes.

This time out, Hill brought all the jewelry along, hoping to encounter one or two such ladies at Kexlote, but unexpectedly, one showed up today!

Hill happily waited for Srei to bring him the good news.
