Chapter 2834: Bright Water Gold Coins, Quiet Influence

~9 min read 1,619 words

Seeming to hear the inner thoughts of the prospective customers gathered outside the shop, a moment later, a manager who was sweating profusely despite the late winter season emerged from within, bowing to the crowd while announcing in a loud voice:

"We have just received word from Headquarters; they have already dispatched someone to deliver the goods. They are coming via the Mystery Tower's Teleportation Array, so everyone please wait a moment, they will arrive immediately.

"To express our apologies, the Tower of Time Lingtong Third Generation Communication Artifact that everyone needs will have its price reduced by an additional 200 Gold Coins on top of the recommended discount, and the Lingtong First and Second Generation Communication Artifacts will be sold at 20% off."

The Mystery Tower is Iolum's Mage Tower. Upon hearing this news, many people outside the shop who had originally intended to leave temporarily paused their steps.

Furthermore, a 200 Gold Coin price reduction on the Lingtong Third Generation is not something everyone can ignore. At most, it is just waiting a little longer; even for a Mage, it is impossible to earn money this easily.

However, not many people were tempted by the price reduction of the Lingtong First and Second Generation Communication Artifacts. Everyone knows that future communication artifacts will at least be compared to the Lingtong Third Generation; the previous two generations are already obsolete.

Perhaps there are still some people who are not well-off who would be willing to buy the Second Generation, but for the First Generation, there will almost be no more sales. As for other communication artifacts, with the Tower of Time's Lingtong Second and Third Generation Communication Artifacts here, no one gives them a second thought.

A moment later, a commotion came from the northwest. It turned out that three people were flying through the air, which is actually very rare in Yiaole Mu Ling. It is not that flying is forbidden, but rather that one must not fly unless there is an urgent matter.

And the "urgent matter" here, as far as the others are concerned, refers to the slow death of Yiaole Mu Ling. Now the Territory seems to be making an exception for the Gina Chamber of Commerce. The people flying in the back among these eight clearly wore the Gold Coin Badge of the Gina Chamber of Commerce, a scene that caused the crowd to discuss it animatedly.

"A total of 4800 Gina Gold Coins, do you need to count them?"

Generally speaking, the greatest consumption is paper and ink. In this regard, the Tower of Time has unique advantages; the product prices are at most one-tenth of other substitute products, or even lower.

"I want three Lingtong Third Generation Communication Artifacts." Ming Shui said, showing the discount announcement on his own communication artifact while telling the shop assistant his requirements.

"Then I will buy a jar of Ruby Powder. I might need it for experiments later. It is too expensive to buy in the Mage Tower; it is cheaper to buy outside. It just so happens that I exchanged for Moyuan Gold Coins in advance, so I can get a discount."

Or perhaps nodding from afar to friends familiar with the same Mage Tower.

As for those who agreed to exchange contact information, they were too numerous to count.

Of course, the official gold notes of Yiaole Mu Ling cannot be fully exchanged, but the key is that if you use Moyuan Gold Coins, you get a 20% discount, which is not a small bargain.

At this moment, Hui was grinning and exchanging contact information with Jin Mu!

"I want ten Blank Notebooks, the kind from the Tower of Time, I don't want anything else."

Take Ming Shui himself, for example; last time he came out, he stocked up on more than a hundred copies at once. Recently, he heard that people from the Pure White High Tower and the Mystery Tower are contacting people everywhere, preparing to bypass the Gina Chamber of Commerce and go directly to the Tower of Time to get goods.

"Guests, what else do you need?"

At this time, Ming Shui turned his gaze to the shop assistant again and said: "Did you hear everything we just said? Add another Mithril Pen for me, calculate how many Gold Coins it will be in total?"

Ming Shui mingled in the crowd. Because he had already purchased the Lingtong Third Generation early on, he appeared exceptionally calm at this moment, chatting with Jin Mu and others from time to time, and occasionally soothing the excited Hui and others.

"This—"

When Ming Shui and the others came to purchase high-value goods, they naturally prepared the funds in advance. Gold notes are Gold Coin Exchange Vouchers. Every place has its own exchange vouchers, but how many Gold Coins can be exchanged at the Gina Chamber of Commerce depends on the credit and strength of each place.

Mithril Pens are actually consumables, but the consumption of these is at least calculated by the year. If one masters the pen-making craft oneself, then the consumption in this regard is even less.

Of course, the shop assistant did not forget to take three brand-new Lingtong Third Generation Communication Artifacts from the counter and hand them to Ming Shui.

Ming Shui poured a pile of Gold Coins out of his Dimensional Bag with a clatter onto the Weight Counter indicated by the shop assistant. The Weight Counter pressed Magic Aura onto the counter, but the Weight Counter remained stable.

Thinking of this, Ming Shui could not help but fall into deep thought. Since when did the Tower of Time's products appear more and more frequently in Yiaole Mu Ling?

Therefore, many people, including Ming Shui, had already exchanged for Gina Gold Coins in advance, and many people had long ago exchanged the Gold Coins they usually used for Gina Gold Coins.

Ming Shui hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to his partners. It is rare to come out once, so they shouldn't just buy one communication artifact, but he didn't know what his partners needed regarding other items.

It is just that after using the Tower of Time's Inferior Elf Paper, there is no need to buy the Tower of Time's cheap ink anymore. Using self-made ink is enough; Elf Paper leaves marks more easily than Parchment.

"The Lingtong Third Generation Communication Artifact is 2400 Gold Coins at the original price, with a 200 reduction and an additional 200 discount. Three pieces total 6000 Gold Coins. May I ask if you are paying with gold notes or Gold Coins? If you pay with Gold Coins, using Moyuan Gold Coins will allow you to enjoy an additional 20% discount on the entire store on top of the previous discount."

However, after Ming Shui received the communication artifacts, before he could hold them for two seconds, they were snatched away by his three companions. On the other side, Jin Mu and the others who came with them also completed the purchase procedure.

But very soon, with the arrival of that delivery Envoy, the crowd had no interest in discussing topics other than communication artifacts. The familiar Mages who had some understanding of the Lingtong Third Generation were already preparing to establish their own small circle communication groups.

If they were still using Parchment, they might have to buy the Tower of Time's ink!

The shop assistant brother served them skillfully, while dragging a Weight Counter on the counter to his side, seemingly prepared to weigh the Gold Coins at any time.

The crowd outside the shop came and went, and soon it was Ming Shui and the others' turn. Because they had agreed on the distribution method for the recommended discount Gold Coins in advance, it was very simple for Ming Shui to recommend for multiple people at once, rather than recommending one by one.

"I want a Fine Mithril Pen. The one I used before was given to me by my teacher. After using it for a long time, the wear is a bit severe. I don't want to wait until it's truly broken to buy one. Since I'm out this time, I'll just buy it!"

After the shop assistant confirmed, he tapped a dim Fuwu on the side of the Weight Counter. The next moment, the 4800 Gold Coins on the Weight Counter tray disappeared without a trace.

"A total of 4800 Gina Gold Coins, correct."

"A Fine Mithril Pen is 100 Gold Coins, Blank Notebooks produced by the Tower of Time are 2 Gold Coins each, and a jar of Ruby Powder is 400 Gold Coins. The items the guests want add up to 620 Gold Coins. If you pay with Gina Gold Coins, it is 496 Gold Coins. If the guests want more Blank Notebooks, adding three more can round it up to a total of 500 Gold Coins."

"Then let's round it up!" Ming Shui made the decision very naturally.

Not to make money, but just so that he could use paper more freely in the future.

Although the notebook quality is relatively inferior Elf Paper, which cannot be used to make Magic Scrolls, it is completely sufficient for simple writing. Even if Parchment can be scraped and written on repeatedly, the ten-fold price difference allows them to make the correct choice.

Blank Notebooks are consumables, so preparing more is nothing. Every time we come out, we will buy some consumables, especially notebooks. The ones sold by the Gina Chamber of Commerce are more than 40% cheaper than those inside the Mage Tower, equivalent to being able to buy ten notebooks outside for the price of one inside the Mage Tower.
