"This is the Relief General Store, not a money-giving spree!" Ye Chen silently rolled his eyes. "How about a level 4 claw? It's cheap, only 500 gold coins!"
I acquired quite a few claws of the Howling Moon Demon Wolf in the trial space, but most of them were just piled up in the warehouse. I didn't use them to make finished products; I just took out a few to play with.
The boy in front of him was just a student at the Hope Academy, with a strength of only one or two tiers. The gauntlets made from tier 4 claws were already enough for him.
"Alas! What a sorrow!" The boy paused for a moment, then sighed, his face showing signs of weariness.
Seeing their appearance, Ye Chen was also very troubled. How could professional students from Hope Academy be so poor? Don't they ever try to make money?
"Kid, let me give you a piece of advice: all the troubles in the world can be solved with money. If you want to solve your troubles, you need to have money!" Ye Chen said calmly. Did they really think he was doing charity? Giving things away for free? You're not my kin! You're just residents of my territory.
Among the lord's subjects, there are still differences between the dependents and ordinary subjects, which involve various aspects such as loyalty and faith.
Outsiders may become true members of a lord's kin, or they may find an opportunity to leave on their own. Only kin recruited from kin's lair are those that lords can absolutely trust.
While Ye Chen is willing to invest a lot of resources to help the development of alien races like the Aini, this is because he wants to integrate the entire race into his territory. However, this does not mean that he has absolute trust in the individuals within the race.
"So the worry of not having money is unsolvable, right?" The boy shrugged helplessly and put the boxing gloves back on the counter.
"If you don't have money, go make money. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll always be able to earn it, and then your worries will be gone!"
"That makes sense. Looks like I should go find a way to earn some money back!"
His gaze swept past the boxing gloves, and the boy looked at the other items in the store. Although the astonishing prices shocked him, he could sense the powerful force contained within these items.
"Are you a native of the Primordial Star? Or someone from the legendary Blue Star?" the boy suddenly asked.
"Guess?" Ye Chen smiled, without giving a direct answer.
"I guess you're from Earth, right? The natives probably don't have time to come here and open a shop," the boy continued, ignoring the merchandise and chatting with Ye Chen at the counter.
"I guess so. Is there nothing you like?" Ye Chen asked with a shrug.
"I've got my eye on them all, but I can't afford them all, so it's better not to look at them at all!" the boy said, showing no discomfort despite his predicament. "By the way, since you run a 'trouble-solving general store,' why don't you think of a way to solve my troubles?"
"I told you, the troubles of not having money can't be solved!" Ye Chen said irritably, turning back to his book and ignoring him.
"Sure! For example, ways to make money?" The boy leaned forward, and Ye Chen immediately smiled upon hearing this.
"A way to make money? Yes, but why should I tell you?"
"Because if I make money, I can buy things from you, and that way you can make money too!"
"What you said makes a lot of sense!" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then silently gave a thumbs up.
He never expected that these words would come from a teenager. The reasoning behind them was very simple, but even some successful businessmen and people in power could not truly understand the meaning of these words.
"So what do you say? Teach me a way to make money? So that I can afford the things in your store in a short period of time?" the boy asked with a smile.
"Hehe! No!" Ye Chen's expression changed, but he continued to sit down.
“I don’t know how to make money from this, but based on what you just said, I can give you a 50% discount. The fourth-tier gauntlets are 250 gold coins. If you don’t take them, I won’t be able to solve your problem!” Ye Chen said.
Equipment made from fourth-tier materials is considered a very low price at 500 gold in trade among lords. If trading with other lords, the price would be at least four or five times higher. It is only cheaper when sold within their own territory, since the alien races have only just begun to develop.
However, Ye Chen admired the young man in front of him, so he didn't mind giving him a chance. Compared to having a fourth-tier gauntlet, the young man's strength would increase significantly, and he might become stronger as a result.
It's important to know that there are many ways to make money on the Primordial Star besides trade. There are all sorts of magical beasts on the land, some used to improve the ecology, and others bred by Ding Siyin.
These magical beasts can not only serve as food for everyone, but many parts of their bodies are also excellent materials. With a little processing, they can be transformed into top-quality equipment. With these gauntlets, the young man can easily earn a lot of money by killing magical beasts.
"250 gold coins?" The boy was stunned. He knew that this price was practically free.
Before arriving on the Primordial Star, in their original alien world, a weapon crafted from fourth-tier materials was a priceless treasure in the hands of powerful figures. Not to mention five hundred gold coins, even five million gold coins might not be enough to sell it to you.
"What? Still think it's too expensive? Think about it carefully. With these gloves, how many things can you do that you couldn't do before? Everything comes at a price, and getting something for nothing is not a good habit!" Ye Chen said slowly, his expression slightly stunned.
"No! It's not expensive! But I didn't bring that much money with me today. You keep it for me, and I'll come back to buy it tomorrow night when I've raised enough money. You can't sell it to anyone else!" the boy said firmly. At this moment, he had already decided to sell the boxing gloves. Although 250 gold coins was not a small amount, he could still manage to scrape together the money if he gritted his teeth.
"250 gold coins is your price. I'm running a business here, I can't just not let people buy things, can I?" After Ye Chen finished speaking, he ignored him. The subtext was clear: if someone was willing to offer 500 or even 1,000 gold coins, he would still choose to sell it!
"Wait! Also, my name is Harold, a Tier 2 werewolf warrior. I'll be here tomorrow night to pay and pick up the goods!" The boy said firmly before turning and leaving.
Just before leaving, I ran into Aurelia and Vereesa, who were returning from buying food. I glanced at them briefly but didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the shop.
"Boss, we bought some snacks. Would you like some?" Wenlesa asked Ye Chen, holding up the snacks in her hands.
"Eat! Of course we'll eat! Bring it here, we're starving!" Ye Chen glanced at Harold's departing figure, then smiled at the two women.
