Chapter 227 You are threatening me
Lin Luo is fearless due to his unparalleled strength.
Moreover, the spells engraved in the scrolls he planned to sell were all blue level.
If it is changed to the name in another world, blue magic means fourth-level magic.
Although fourth-level magic is rare, it is far inferior to divine magic and holy magic.
Moreover, among high-level mages, third-level spells are more common, which prevents Lin Luo from attracting the covetousness of high-level mages due to the level of his spells.
Although I'm not afraid, it's better to have less trouble.
Because of this,
When Lin Luo sold scrolls in large quantities, other mages would only envy his talent, and only a few of them would set their sights on him.
"Eighth-level scroll?
This...how is this possible!
How could the magic power in an eighth-level scroll be compressed to this extent? And the structure of this spell... cough, it's simply a genius design concept..."
An exclamation interrupted Lin Luo's thoughts.
The old man's eyes were filled with shock, his expression was serious, and there was an indescribable heat on his old face.
Although he could not understand the spell structure in the scroll, it did not prevent him from parsing other information.
The old man held the scroll carefully, as if he were holding a delicate and fragile work of art.
"The magical energy fluctuations within the scroll have actually reached the peak of the eighth level!"
This was his judgment after sensing the energy fluctuations of the scroll.
The scroll contains peak eighth-level magic power!
This means that even a first-level wizard would have such a scroll in his hand.
Then, this first-level mage can also release eighth-level spells!
And, this is not the most important thing!
In the old man's perception, if the power of rules contained in the scroll is triggered together, through the blessing of the power of rules, this magic power can at least burst out with energy power comparable to the early ninth level!
Not only that,
The magic energy stored in this scroll is extremely stable. According to his estimation, it can last for at least a hundred years!
This means that the value of this scroll will increase to an inestimable level.
A "pseudo-ninth-level" scroll that can be stored for a long time and has almost negligible usage restrictions.
For those rich young men who have a lot of money but lack the ability.
Even if they fight tooth and nail for it, they will still offer a high price without hesitation.
Thinking of this,
The old man glanced at Lin Luo quietly, with a gleam in his eyes. The businessman's greed made him feel uneasy.
If the mage in front of me is the scroll maker, and we establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him...
Sent!
Get rich!
The future of money is bright!
The old man was shaking with excitement, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Sir! My name is Hughes, and I'm the branch director of the Phantom Exchange.
We were not aware of your arrival and are sorry for not welcoming you. We apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality.
Please enter the Phantom Exchange to discuss the trade of potions and scrolls."
After saying that, Hughes winked at the maid beside him and said, "Go quickly and call all those beautiful women. We must entertain this lord well!
If you neglect the adults, you should know the consequences."
"yes!"
The maid's body trembled, and she looked at Lin Luo reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
This person actually attracted so much attention from Director Hughes, so his strength must be extraordinary!
Who knows, he might be a genius from some powerful force!
When the maid thought of the old man's instructions, she felt hot all over, clamped her legs together, and walked awkwardly.
This handsome man with a cool and aloof look simply touched the hearts of her and her sisters!
"I will definitely let him deeply understand the beauty of our Phantom Exchange~"
“…”
Lin Luo overheard the conversation between the two with his mental power, and the corners of his mouth twitched, his face full of black lines for a moment.
Even though Shenglin Town is located on the edge of the Aklan Empire, mages who go to the Star-Moon Forest to hunt often trade here, so the strength of the director of this branch has increased.
But the old man's strength is only at the peak of level seven, and the maid's strength is only at level four.
As you can imagine,
In front of Lin Luo, what is the difference between the conversation between Hughes and the maid and the chat records in front of him?
After the maid left, Hughes invited Lin Luo to the top-floor box of the exchange.
now,
In the luxurious off-white box, there were already dozens of beauties standing there, some charming, some pure, and all beautiful.
But they all have one thing in common...
The clothes are thin and can hardly cover the body.
Under Hughes's expectant gaze, Lin Luo's face turned slightly cold, and he smiled meaningfully:
"Hey, is Phantom Exchange abusing its employees?"
Hearing this, the old man's face froze and he asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"I see how they're dressed..."
Lin Luo looked at him playfully and teased him, "It seems that the Phantom Exchange can't afford good clothes?"
Seeing Hughes sweating profusely, he waved his hand again and said calmly: “Don’t waste your time, let them retreat.
I'm only here to trade potions, and I have no intention of doing anything else."
Although the old man's starting point was good, Lin Luo still didn't want to experience the test of human nature himself.
In case of accidental discharge of the gun,
His efforts to preserve his chastity were finally broken.
As his horizons broaden, his requirements for a partner are also increasing.
least……
He has to be a god too.
"Forgive me, sir. I didn't mean to speculate on your thoughts..."
Hearing Lin Luo's words, Hughes felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly asked the distraught women to leave the box.
Then,
He hurried to Lin Luo's side, bent over, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, this is the box with the best view in the entire branch.
If you need any treasures, you can auction them here.
Shenglin Town is strategically located, and it's home to a vast collection of high-value items from a radius of ten thousand miles. If it's just an eighth-tier treasure, there should be something you'd like."
certainly,
The old man hadn't said another sentence yet, which was that what the Phantom Exchange didn't have might be available in other auction houses.
After all, if we say it, wouldn’t it be equivalent to pushing business away?
Hearing this, Lin Luo's eyes were stern and he said in a cold voice, "Could it be that I need to participate in the bidding for those eighth-level potions as well?"
It's not that he is deliberately making things difficult, but if someone participates in the auction and deliberately makes trouble, the price of the potion will definitely soar.
not to mention,
These potions are extremely precious and their prices cannot be determined by common sense.
Although he has a large number of scrolls on him, this is not a reason for him to be taken advantage of.
"Tsk, you kept saying there were five potions in total and asked me how many I needed, but what happened?"
Lin Luo narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You led me into this box and now you want me to participate in the auction?
how……
Do you think my money is blown by the wind? Is it easy to cheat me?
With every word he spoke, Hughes' thin body bent a little, not daring to refute at all.
Lin Luo sat at the table, tapping the table with his fingertips, like a heavy hammer hitting Hughes' heart.
He said coldly, "Director Hughes, I need an explanation."
"My Lord, this is really not my fault."
The old man smiled bitterly and said to Lin Luo respectfully, "You have just arrived here and don't know much about the situation of the Phantom Exchange.
This branch in Shenglin Town is not qualified to sell ninth-level potions. It only has eighth-level potions, which are shipped from the nearest large city.
The sale of these eighth-tier potions must strictly follow the arrangements of those large exchanges and no deviations are allowed."
Lin Luo frowned slightly and sneered, "So, what you said before was a lie to me?"
"No, I absolutely don't have such thoughts!"
Hughes was terrified. He could feel the subtle pressure of a high-level creature from Lin Luo.
This is the real eighth-level pressure, it can't be fake!
At this point, how dare he make Lin Luo unhappy?
“My Lord, although I cannot change the rule that you must participate in the auction.
but……
I can offer you the right of first refusal for each potion. If the highest bid does not exceed 20% of your bid, the potion will be yours."
While reciting the words he had prepared in his mind, Hughes took out a crystal board, on which the image was playing the conditions of the purchase.
Lin Luo took a quick look and immediately understood.
What the old man meant was that there would be a 20% premium on top of each bid.
The amount of magic crystals that increases "out of thin air" will be borne by the Phantom Exchange itself.
This premium mechanism is enough for Lin Luo to save a large amount of magic crystals.
After receiving Hughes' assurance, he nodded with a slight satisfaction.
In this way,
The number of scrolls consumed should be reduced by... more than ten.
Thinking of this,
Lin Luo smiled as he looked towards the auction table and said slowly, "Since Mr. Hughes has given me such a favorable offer, then, what are your requirements?"
He knew there was no free lunch.
Since Hughes offered benefits, he must have other intentions.
Mostly...
"Scroll, sir, I want the sales agency rights for the scroll!"
As expected, Hughes' words directly confirmed Lin Luo's guess.
The sale of the eighth-level scroll was a temptation that even Cecilia could not resist.
"Mr. Hughes wants to sell the scroll, so..."
Lin Luo smiled mysteriously and asked, "What do you think the value of this eighth-level scroll is? And how much will the profits be divided between us?"
Is there any hope?
Hearing Lin Luo's words, Hughes' face was filled with ecstasy.
Lin Luo's strength is there, and the old man has no doubt about his identity as the scroll maker.
Hughes swallowed his saliva and smiled, "We have never sold such a high-value scroll with no usage restrictions before.
After all, most of the unlimited scrolls auctioned before were sixth or seventh-level scrolls.
Even if there are eighth-tier scrolls of this type for sale, their shelf life is extremely short, so their value is naturally far less than the scroll you crafted."
Seeing Lin Luo's thoughtful expression, Hughes felt that he was not far from success, and continued:
"Your Excellency may wish to deposit the scroll with our Phantom Exchange for the final price obtained from the auction."
After Hughes finished speaking, Lin Luo couldn't help but chuckle.
This approach is normal. After all, this type of scroll is being sold for the first time, and no matter which faction it is, it is impossible to give a specific value.
It can be said that the Phantom Exchange operates in the same manner as the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, with both using the auction proceeds as the final price.
It would be better to say that all chambers of commerce are the same.
No businessman is easy to deal with.
At this time,
As the low bells rang out, intensive preparations began on the auction table.
The mages were running back and forth, busy debugging various alchemical magic weapons.
The colorful lights and shadows intertwined with each other, making Lin Luo feel as if he was on the Hanhai Star.
Not long after,
Lin Luo withdrew his gaze, and after a moment's silence, he said to Hughes, who was looking at him intently, "The price of the scroll can be handled in your own way, but that's not the point.
I want to know how the profits from the Phantom Exchange are divided between me and you guys?"
Even though the way of handling the situation was barely acceptable, he still did not forget his fundamental interests.
Because the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is an emerging force, it can offer a high price of 82%.
But the Phantom Chamber of Commerce is different. Perhaps the internal reform of the chamber of commerce is slowly underway, but the capital within these old chambers of commerce will definitely take action to stop it.
At present, the maximum is 73%.
Or maybe...
64 points?
Seeing Lin Luo's expression, Hughes knew it was hard to fool him, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"My lord, the Phantom Spirit Exchange has a thousand-year history in the Aklan Empire. It has more than ten ninth-level masters and even has close ties with the royal family's tenth-level mages.
If you can cooperate with the Phantom Exchange, you will definitely gain the favor of this tenth-level mage..."
Lin Luo snorted coldly, his face stern, and said in a cold voice: "Are you threatening me?"
Hughes didn't mention a word about the profit sharing, obviously knowing full well the ridiculous profit sharing ratio of the Phantom Exchange.
This shrewd old man couldn't stand Lin Luo's pressure, and immediately collapsed on a chair beside him, his whole body soaked with cold sweat.
He immediately felt regretful.
The person in front of him was not one of those low- to mid-level mages who were only at level six or seven.
But he is a high-level wizard of at least level eight.
He got so excited that he blurted out his previous threats.
What if there is another force behind this person...
Hughes didn't dare to continue imagining, and hurriedly defended himself, "No, I dare not. I am only analyzing the pros and cons for you, sir, and I have absolutely no intention of threatening you.
The usual profit sharing ratio of the Phantom Chamber of Commerce is 6...73%. This profit sharing ratio is considered very sincere in the Aklan Empire.
My Lord, please look..."
The ratio of 70% to 30% is considered a very fair distribution in the old-established chamber of commerce, the Phantom Exchange.
but……
Lin Luo has more favorable trading conditions with the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, so why waste time in the Phantom Exchange?
"If it's a 70:30 split, then there's no need for us to continue discussing this."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and the scroll in Hughes' arms instantly turned into a stream of light and appeared in Lin Luo's hand.
Then,
Lin Luo stood up and pretended to leave.
How could Hughes, tempted by the benefits, give up this magic crystal?
However, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said to Lin Luo's back: "Wait a minute, sir! I am willing to split the profits with you 80:20 - in my personal name."
I, Hughes, want this money!
At the same time, Lin Luo, who had already walked to the door, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
really,
Interests are always the force that can change the rules, and this will never change.
