Chapter 369 Alchemy Pot? I Bought It!
"Pay a high price to ask the priest of the Chamber of Commerce to give up tomorrow's Scorching Sun Competition and prepare himself the Conversation with the Dead technique?"
This idea popped up in Tang Sen's mind.
Judging from the behavior of the store manager in front of him, he might talk loudly about how important the Scorching Sun Competition is to the chamber of commerce and how costly it is to give up, and then offer a sky-high price.
However, for Tang Sen, who has endless wealth, no matter the sky-high price, it doesn't matter.
As long as there is a price tag, Tang Sen can easily buy it.
But--
Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is it really worth it?
Money doesn't matter, but spreading the news because of squandering money may not do you any good.
Paying thousands or even tens of thousands of dragon coins for a conversation with the dead technique?
This is not a normal transaction, but the most taken advantage of.
If you spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy a genuine magic item, such transactions are common in Faerûn and are not noticeable. However, if you spend tens of thousands of gold coins just to buy a pair of straw sandals——
Anyone with a normal IQ would guess, is it because this person is too rich to care about tens of thousands of gold coins, or is it because the value of the pair of straw sandals far exceeds the money required to buy them?
No matter which guess you make, I'm afraid it won't be too beneficial to your situation. There is no doubt that such behavior will make your reputation resound throughout Neverwinter City and even the Sword Coast region. All merchants will flock to try to Kill your fat sheep with a knife.
Not only that, such behavior will definitely attract a lot of malicious attention. The value of money in this world is more important than in any previous world. Even the great mage of the Nine Rings has never had a need for money. Stopped.
What's more, there are still those greedy dragons in this world. The metal dragons of the lawful camp are okay. If you are watched by the color dragons of the evil camp, then you may have to face endless invasions from the dragons. .
"I can be a rich man, but I have to respect the value of money in this world. Before you have absolute strength, excessive squandering will only bring disaster."
Tang Sen recognized this idea in his heart.
After all, this world is not the Pirates of the Caribbean world that I have been to before. In the Pirates of the Caribbean world, I can rely on exaggerated squandering to gain huge fame and unite anyone who comes because of money.
That's because although there are some extraordinary powers in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, they are not many and cannot directly threaten one's own safety. Moreover, one's own life is in danger, so one has to take some risks.
But if the same behavior occurs in the world of Faerûn——
Even if he is no longer what he used to be, he may not be able to leave Neverwinter at all.
Countless thoughts went through Tang Sen's mind, but he remained calm on the surface and just said: "Of course I believe in the strength of the Seven-Day Trading Group, but I will not pay for risky products."
"Absolutely no risk!" the store manager emphasized, and then said: "Of course, I understand the customer's concerns, so this is just a verbal agreement, isn't it?"
"After the Burning Sun Competition is over, guests can come here again."
"Very reasonable." Tang Sen nodded: "Then, in addition to the conversation with the dead technique, let's take a look at other products."
The store manager asked: "What does the customer want?"
"What do you have?" Tang Sen asked.
The store manager was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "I can find magic items, exquisite armors, magic scrolls, any items needed for adventures here."
He paused and said: "Of course, what the guests need is obviously not those ordinary gadgets."
He clapped his hands, and the door of the box was suddenly pushed open. A clerk pushed a small cart, and the items on the cart were covered with black satin.
"This is a strange object we found in a certain ruins, called the alchemy pot."
He carefully peeled off the silk, revealing an ordinary-looking clay pot.
"A kettle?" Barn stepped forward, "It doesn't seem to be of much use."
The store manager moved sideways without any trace, blocking Barn's hand from trying to touch the pot, and explained to Tang Sen with a smile: "This is no ordinary kettle."
"This is a magic item that can automatically generate liquids. It can generate various liquids you need, such as fresh water for your drinking, wine, beer, and even daily necessities such as oil, vinegar, honey, mayonnaise, etc., even if You need to fight, and it can also generate acid and basic poison."
Barn raised his eyebrows: "So magical? It can't be the trick of filling various liquids separately, right? I've seen it in other taverns."
"Of course not." The store manager patiently explained: "This is a genuine wonder. The liquid in it will automatically return to its maximum value at dawn every day."
"Of course, there is a limit to the amount of liquid it can produce. For example, you can pour out 8 gallons of fresh water, 4 gallons of beer and 1 gallon of wine every day, while strong acids and basic poisons are much less and can only be poured out. 8 ounces of acid and one-half ounce of base poison."
"You can only choose one of the liquids it can produce every day, and you can't change it."
The store manager showed a proud expression: "No adventurer can refuse to have a steady stream of drinking water in the wilderness or an isolated ruins!"
"That's right." Barn showed a rare look of approval: "I once foraged in the wilderness and could only get water by chewing leaves. Mr. Townsend, if this man is not lying, this is indeed a good thing."
"The integrity of the Seven Days Trading Chamber is obvious to all." The store manager raised his chin.
"So, how much does this thing, this rare thing cost?" Barn asked with some temptation.
"It's not expensive." The store manager said, "One thousand eight hundred."
Barn: ".Dragon coins?"
"No, Suncoin."
Baan jumped up immediately: "How can you say such a big number with such a small mouth that can only hold three fingers at most? That's eighteen thousand dragon coins! It's enough for our entire tribe to support us for the rest of our lives!"
Barn's wonderful metaphor made the store manager's smile stagnant slightly, but his good professionalism made him smile again, looked at Tang Sen, and said: "For a unique and rare item, the price is not expensive. "
He knew who the real buyer was.
"As long as you have it, you can drink mellow wine even in the wilderness. What a perfect magic prop. Moreover, as a spell caster, you can even gain some magic knowledge by studying it."
"No one would spend eighteen thousand dragon coins just to drink wine in the wilderness!" Barn emphasized: "This is really——"
"I bought it."
Baan's words were interrupted, and he looked at Tang Sen with an expression of extreme astonishment.
Tang Sen, with a look of emotion on his face, repeated:
"Eighteen thousand dragon coins? I bought it!"
