After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 50: Replenish your stock



The dwarf merchant was puzzled.

Robb waved to him and smiled, "Mr. Merchant, come and sit down."

The dwarf merchant went into the yard, sat down on the stone stool opposite Robb, and asked inexplicably, "Father, can you really grow pepper trees here overnight?"

Robb smiled and said, "as you can see, this is the grace of God." He then told Lillian next to him, "go and show Mr. Merchant a bag of pepper."

Lillian went to the edge of the field and brought a bag of peppers that had just been picked by the townspeople. They were as big as a bowl, and they were all filled with fresh peppers. The merchant's expression seemed restless as soon as the bag was put in front of the him.

In his opinion, this is not pepper but gold!

Robb picked up a piece of pepper and put it in his hand with a smile. "try it and see if it tastes authentic."

The dwarf merchant put the pepper into his mouth, and as soon as he bit it, the fragrant feeling immediately spread in his mouth, "Ah, it's a great piece of pepper, and it tastes very mellow."

Robb smiled, "now you can buy from me as much as you want. I'd like to know how greedy you are for pepper and whether you can buy all my stock."

The dwarf merchant glanced at the harvesting field next to him and thought, “I should have no problem purchasing all the pepper produced in such a small private reserve. In any case, pepper is very easy to sell and is an indispensable seasoning for aristocrats and rich people at the dinner table. I can sell out no matter how much I charge, and of course, I earn more if I collect more.”

He put on a serious face and said, “Father, I want to buy all your peppers, all of them!"

"Oh? All of them? Although the wholesale price is certainly much lower than the retail price, pepper is a very expensive commodity compared to gold," Robb then said, “If you're going to purchase all my pepper at wholesale price, I'm a little worried that you don't have that kind of money."

The dwarf merchant said confidently, "of course, I know it's expensive, but I can afford to buy pepper in a field that only encompasses such a small tract of land."

“Are you sure it’s just a small tract of land?” A strange smile bore on his face.

The dwarf merchant has traveled north and south, dealing with countless people and doing business. He can tell something is wrong by looking at Robb's smile. Damn, why is the priest's smile so cheap? I feel like I'm stepping on a thunderbolt as if I'm going to be clouded away.

Robb said, "Lillian, go and get the pepper out of the warehouse... " At this point, he suddenly said, "Also, since you are delicate and soft, you can't carry such heavy things. I'll give you a BUFF before you go."

He waved his hand, and as soon as he did, a golden light shone over Lillian, and in an instant, Lillian felt powerful.

She couldn’t help but wonder, “Master, what did you add to me?”

“BUFF!”

“Bafu (拔浮 bá fú)? What on earth is that?”

“Well, the exact name is ‘Blessing of the King’. You’ll understand once you start moving things.”

Lillian said, "Oh," and dashed into the warehouse. After a while, she came out with a super-large pocket in her hand, which was bigger than a

n ordinary person and looked heavy, but she carried it with one hand. She ran to the table, laughed, and said, "Master, the way you have floated me is so strong that I can carry such a heavy pepper bag."

The dwarf merchant swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "You mean… this bag is full of pepper?"

"Yes!" Lillian opened the bag and smiled, "see for yourself."

“Hey? Huh?” The dwarf merchant sweated profusely and said, “This bag of pepper is probably worth hundreds of gold. I…I…”

Knowing that he wanted to say he couldn't afford it, Robb, the bad guy, deliberately said, "Wow!" Are you trying to say that the portion is too small? It doesn't matter. I still have several bags in the warehouse. If it's not enough, you can stay in Westwind Town for a few more days. It's not a problem for me to get you dozens of bags."

The dwarf merchant sweated even more and said, "No, stop! I can't do this anymore. I have no money. I have to throw in the towel. I only have enough money to buy one bag first, and when I return to my hometown and bring more money, I can buy a few more bags."

Robb laughed as he intimidated his business partner. Of course, after having his fun, he stopped. He's not a person who deliberately annoys people either. If possible, Robb wanted to get along with all the good people in the world.

“Lillian, pour Mr. Merchant a glass of pressured water.”

"Yes, master!" Lillian saw the look in Robb's eyes and knew he wasn't talking about ordinary water, so she ran back to the warehouse, picked up a jar, pulled out the cork, and Robb turned his hand while the dwarf merchant didn’t notice. The ice that had just been made by ice magic had been sent straight into the jar.

Lillian poured the dwarf merchant a glass of green, bubbling, and icy water and said with a smile, "Mr. Merchant, please drink."

The dwarf merchant could not understand what was in front of him. Fortunately, Robb was a priest, and the dwarf businessman, like the original mayor, would not suspect that the drink handed over by the priest was poisonous. He dared to take it and gently took a sip. The expression on his face became extremely euphoric in an instant.

"This is a wonderful drink, "The dwarf merchant was in high spirits; my intuition in doing business for many years tells me that it will not be any harder to sell than pepper or even more popular than pepper. What on earth is this?"

“Its name is Apple-flavored Coca-Cola. In fact, there’s still grape and orange flavor. Do you want to buy some, too?”

"You still have other flavors?" The dwarf merchant was really convinced, and there was an obvious dilemma on his face. Obviously, he wanted pepper, but he also wanted Coca-Cola, but he had limited cash on hand, and he didn't know what to choose.

Robb smiled and said, "Well, let me give you some advice. Spend your money on pepper this time because you know more about pepper and must have regular customers. Sell it first. As for Coca-Cola, don't purchase in large quantities yet. I'll sell you a bucket at a low price. When you sell pepper to your big customers, take a glass and give them a taste. Then, tell them that it's tough to purchase it and that they'll have to first make a deposit before you bring it to them next time. In this way, people will always give you some deposits. If you take the deposit, they give, plus the money from pepper, come to me again. Won't it be easy to decide how much pepper and Coca-Cola you have to buy next time?"

"Oh, that's a good plan." The dwarf merchant said with a smile, "I didn't expect the priest to know how to do business."

"No, I don't understand… I don't understand as much as you do." Robb smiled, "I just know some basic tricks, anyway. Let's make money together!"

The two clasped hands tightly. The dwarf merchant left with pepper and Coca-Cola with his dream of getting rich in the future.

Robb slumped on the stone stool, waved to the merchant's not-so-tall figure, and whispered, "The way to make money together is that I sit still, and you run around the world to make me money! Work hard, young man."
