In the safe house, Aikasha, who was cutting a piece of meat steak, frowned cutely, as if she had seen something suspicious.
Her pause made a ‘big cat,’ who was as tall as an adult’s calf, very dissatisfied. The big cat rubbed its head against a part of her calf at her ankle. Aikasha was startled by the tickle, and she lowered her head to look at her displeased Golden Lion.
“I’m sorry, Caesar. Let’s play later. I have business now.”
Aikasha placed the unfinished meat directly in front of the Golden Lion, and continued to think under the Golden Lion’s puzzled gaze.
She was also an intelligent person, and she quickly figured out what Gray wanted to express.
As the Guardians gradually went out to explore in the dangerous jungle, weapons would undoubtedly become very necessary for survival.
Aikasha judged that weapons were likely to become a hard currency in a short time!
This business could be done, and the potential was huge. If done well, they could collect an amazing amount of resources that were far superior to others.
This good news somewhat diluted the excitement that Gray had brought to Aikasha.
In the face of benefits, Aikasha chose to temporarily put aside her small temper.
The only pity was that drops were rare, and there were success rates for her to make weapons. After selling this batch of weapons, she might not have such a good chance to sell them again.
As she thought about it, a question surfaced in her mind:
“Mr. Gray.”
She asked:
“Are you only planning to sell one batch of weapons?”
This question was very crucial. If they relied on this batch of weapons, although the amount of materials collected might seem to be a lot, it would not be of much help to them if they divided it between the two of them.
However, Aikasha had a faint feeling that the man did not seem to want to do such a one-time deal.
She did not know why she had such a feeling.
Perhaps this man did not care about the drops?
Or perhaps this man was able to keep an astonishing number of drops in his bag over and over again?
Aikasha had a feeling that what he wanted this time was definitely not that simple.
“Of course not. We can work together for a long time. At least for a period of time, I can provide you with some drops every day, so that we can maximize the benefits of our cooperation during this period of time.”
Aikasha’s eyes widened slightly, and her breathing quickened slightly. The other side could really provide drops continuously!
This news surprised her. Those who had personally obtained drops naturally knew the extremely low chances of obtaining them. However, Gray could actually so easily talk about obtaining drops.
Aikasha could not help but raise his level in her list of followers.
At the same time, Aikasha could not help but guess. Could he have mastered some kind of skill that allowed him to search for beasts that carried drops?
Aikasha held the attitude of giving it a try and asked:
“Mr. Gray, May I ask if you have mastered the method to search for beasts with drops?”
The other party replied almost instantly. It seemed like he did not think much about it:
Aikasha also knew that even if there was such a method, Gray might not necessarily tell her.
However, she was still amused by Gray’s reply. He was lucky?
It would be strange if she believed him!
Was he not even willing to give her a perfunctory reply?
Aikasha had never been treated like this since she was a child.
Although she had always been annoyed by the men around her, she was so angry that she wanted to laugh when she met a man who treated her like nothing.
Business was more important, business was more important…
Aikasha took two deep breaths, patted her bulging chest with her bare hands and controlled her emotions.
Then, she took out her business-like attitude and secretly remembered Gray’s words. She continued,
“Alright, Mr. Gray. I’ll draft out the detailed rules of the transaction for you. After you see that there are no problems, we’ll start the transaction.”
…
Not long after, Gray received the transaction rules that Aikasha had drafted.
The gist of it was that Gray would provide the drops, Aikasha would be responsible for producing weapons and providing synthetic materials. The weapons would be priced based on the best interests of the two of them, and the materials obtained would be split 50-50, and if the production failed, Aikasha would compensate Gray with a portion of the materials.
Gray read through the regulations and did not find any problems. The current transaction was under the supervision of the system, so he was not afraid of Aikasha playing any tricks.
Besides, from what he saw, Aikasha would not be unable to see through his value. It was not wise to ruin the relationship with each other over such a small amount of materials.
Aikasha’s words rang out:
“Mr. Gray, after the weapons are completed, it will be sold directly from my side. Do you have any other requests?”
Gray thought for a moment and gave a suggestion:
“Miss Aikasha, why don’t you put up a request to purchase drops in the trading hall and use the materials as an exchange? I believe that you might be able to gain something.
“At the same time, please don’t reveal to others that I’m the one who provided you with drops. Please add this to the contract.”
The message was sent.
Although the drop rate of drops was small, it couldn’t withstand the large number of Guardians who were going out now. There would always be one or two that would be obtained.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Guardians hadn’t discovered the value of the drops, exchanging drops for weapons and then selling them would increase the value by several times. It could also effectively prevent people from noticing him. After all, Gray didn’t want to get involved in inexplicable trouble because of these things.
“Alright.”
Aikasha replied, then quickly revised the transaction contract and sent it back.
After confirming that there were no problems, Gray signed it and then traded the drops on his side.
After this, the next thing was to wait for the harvest.
Gray was full of anticipation that his safe house would soon become surprisingly defensive.
While communicating with Aikasha, Gray roasted the meat, ate part of it for breakfast, and then wrapped the rest of the cutting with flags and put them in his backpack.
The preparations for the trip were also done.
Gray put the dragon egg on his back. The little guy woke up because of the noise, and when it realized that it was in a familiar position on Gray’s back, it immediately realized that Gray was going to take it to find good food, and it immediately became excited.
Gray sensed the mood of the dragon egg, and his footsteps seemed to be much lighter.
He took the machete and walked out of the safe house.
The exploration through the jungle the next day began.
