How to Survive as a Player Chapter 65

#65

Dalkak-

Inside the box, there were four L-class magic stones the size of the forearm, imbued with the light of opal, arranged neatly. It looked so mysterious that it was deceptive.

“If it’s this size, it’s a mid-level L-level magic stone. Huh.”

The old man took the box and put it down in front of Fenn for him to examine. Fan’s eyes passed by looking at the magic stone.

“For mid-level items, let’s set the price at 1 billion carats per unit, making it 4 billion. I paid generously during the last transaction, so I will pay more since the quality seems to be better than that. “How about it?”

1 billion.

I burst into laughter as I looked at the old man who was condescending as if he was giving me a generous treat. From Sehyun’s recollection, the initial transaction price for Class L was 2 billion at the lowest level. But in the meantime, it went down this much?

“Please price it considering scarcity. Based on the price of 800 million per low-level magic stone, it is correct that mid-level stones are priced higher than that. We propose 1.5 billion won per piece, a total of 6 billion won.”

“I think I can accept this amount based on the favors we have shown to our Black Empire so far, but before adding a price, why not consider your own country’s situation and position? “The Engineering Empire has no intention of paying more than 4 billion won.”

“I believe that the Engineering Empire is fully aware of the current demand for magic stones. The situation in neighboring countries is getting worse day by day, and the utility of Maseok will continue to increase in the future. Moreover, our country is still the only supplier of L-class magic stones. “Please take this into consideration and reconsider.”

“Then let me ask you one thing. If Engineering Science and Technology does not purchase it, do you think our company will be able to benefit from trade with other empires? “In my opinion, there is no empire that treats L-class magic stones as conveniently as the Engineering Empire.”

“We believe that there will be regular demand for L-class magic stones in the future. Trade in advanced magic stones between countries is now becoming more active… .”

“It sounds like you are planning to use that foundation as an engineering empire. “It just looks like they have no intention of doing business.”

Sehyeon’s negotiator was not a very competent person. know. Bayen was the one who selected the one with the bargaining skills to sit down. Moreover, Bayen’s level and stats had not increased at all since the day Sehyun quit.

At most LV.58 level. If you sense the untouchable energy of the old man, the opponent will be over LV.100. It was natural to be overwhelmed by the opponent’s energy.

This part was largely Sehyun’s fault.

Still, it was absolutely not something that could bring down the negotiator, who was the representative of the opposing empire and the king’s representative.

Negotiations were ultimately decided on a total of 4.5 billion carats. Bayen’s sorrow, as if he had aged ten years, could be felt up to this point. As soon as the negotiations were over, a contract to conclude the deal was placed in front of each other. The first person to sign was Fan. He signed his name neatly and handed it to the old man.

Sehyun also took a quill and placed the nib on the paper. However, just before the pen tip touched the paper, Sehyeon, who had kept her mouth shut until now, opened her mouth for the first time.

“I don’t feel like it, can I turn it over?” .”

Everyone frowned and looked away because they were seated. There was Sehyeon, holding a quill and looking bored. The hand holding the quill was shaking. Soon the quill fluttered across the table with a small noise.

“Let’s pretend there was no deal. “Seeing Engineering Empire’s sincerity makes me not want to sell it.”

The impact of those words was enormous. Bayen’s face was bleached white, and the old man’s face became puzzled. Sharp eyes flew in between the mesmerized gazes. Well, it was him.

“Not selling?”

“Yes, I’m not selling it. “I will see you off on your way.”

Sehyun stood up from her seat. He deliberately pushed his chair back, making a screeching sound. Everyone was watching with bated breath at the unexpected situation, and only the sound of Sehyun’s footsteps could be heard among them.

Bayen’s desperate gaze fell on Ruhak, but Ruhak’s gaze only reached Fen. From the beginning, the attitude was that they were not interested in the transaction.

“I’d like to hear the reason.”

“I have no intention of selling anything to an ally whose reasons I don’t even know.”

“Isn’t this too harsh for an ally who traveled for six hours?”

“I never asked you to come. “I don’t know if it’s the other way around.”

Sehyeon’s steps seemed fast and slow. She was heading towards the door of the throne room. She clearly showed that she was not interested, but responded steadily to the conversation to give her some space.

“Are you willing to not even say anything? “If there is a problem with the amount you suggested, we will look into it.”

Sehyun’s steps stopped three steps away from the door. Sehyeon smiled at Fan. And he just opened his mouth.

“There, Mr. Will. Are you going to keep that box? Please return it to us.”

Embarrassment, embarrassment, and discomfort were all intertwined on the old man’s face. After reading that, Bayen tried to move quickly, but Sehyeon spoke coldly without even looking at him.

“Bayen stay still. Mr. Will, please return the box to our negotiator.”

Will looked at Fenn for a moment, but then nodded as if telling him to do whatever he wanted, so he closed the box and pushed it out towards Bayen.

“Please return it again.”

Only then did realization pass through Fen’s eyes. On the other hand, Will’s face hardened nicely. A feeling of contempt passed across his face. Sehyun faced it all without exception.

“I understand that our negotiator did not give in like that, so what happened?”

He politely knelt down, his arms shaking, and held out the box. Sehyun was asking the same thing from the Engineering Empire negotiator.

“This is not a clear disrespect to the Engineering Empire!”

“Then should I ask why you asked that courtesy from a vassal of another country?”

Fan raised his hand to stop Will. Will stepped back, his face turning red at the hand gesture.

“I guess there is no one else who can buy L-class magic stones other than us.”

A gentle voice shook the air. Just by looking at his appearance, he appears to be polite and respectful to others, but his eyes themselves show otherwise. It feels like I’m looking for the back of my neck. That was exactly it.

What the Engineering Empire currently wants is profits from future transactions. The old man’s attitude proved it, and Fan’s appearance proved it. The surrounding situation began to change rapidly.

The engineering empire simply jumped ahead of everyone else. Even without him, the powerful countries will come into contact with the Black Empire in the future.

What Sehyun did wrong here was that he looked down on her from the beginning. Looks fragile and young. He doesn’t even have the slightest authority. That side was exposed. Of course, Sehyun also had the intention of accepting it for the first time.

As long as you didn’t touch my vassal.

“If there is. I went to the Iron Palace Empire to ask if they could sell it for 2 billion won. Oh, I think the Magic Empire called for 3 billion. It would be difficult to assume that only that side is raising national power.”

“We called for 4 billion.”

“Transactions are achieved through negotiation when mutual interests are aligned with mutual respect. This is stated in the alliance agreement. Is this mutual respect? It seems like the Engineering Empire still doesn’t really know who is the leader. “Please re-read the clause A stated in the contract.”

“I think our side is also providing some convenience.”

Fan’s clasped hands covered half of his face. All I could see was a piercing gaze.

“Mapok airship? I understand that the energy source used in the Magic Airship is L-class magic stones, but I don’t think I can ride that if the only source of supply is cut off, but it’s even a convenience. Besides, I’m the only one selling it, so shouldn’t I be the winner? Isn’t it? Mr. Eul?”

Sehyeon turned around again. This time he took a fairly firm step forward.

“Bayen, contact the Magic Empire immediately. Present 2 billion carats. “If the Magic Empire’s weapons are completed and sold, the Engineering Empire will be hit hard, so we need to give it some strength to win.”

It was when Sehyun was about to grab the doorknob. In the quiet room, the words I wanted to bargain finally came to mind.

“Give me the amount you want.”

Since it is a matter of survival rather than a game, the value of magic stones will skyrocket in the future. It was clear that shortages would follow us at every moment, and that various empires would rush to intercept and possess them in order to increase the national power of the empire.

And among them, the most rare L-class magic stone. Until now, everyone used SSS grade as a replacement because it was a burdensome cost compared to energy efficiency, but now it will be different. Se-hyeon thought that the current situation was one in which they could not sell it because they did not have it, and a war of magic stones might break out.

Therefore, the position of the Black Empire will become stronger in the future. That was the only source of supply.

So, Sehyeon had to greatly increase the value of the magic stone here.

“10 billion.”

The sound of breathing was heard here and there. Sehyun only slightly turned her head and looked at Fan. An insensitive gaze reached me. Nevertheless, he did not reject the current situation.

That’s why the Engineering Empire needs L-class magic stones.

“Do you think you will pay that price?”

“If you can’t afford it, you don’t have to buy it. “Because there are many people who will buy it.”
