Chapter 47: Buy pepper after five days

“I can’t do that!” Robb shook his head and said, “Pepper is necessary for seasoning for steak, chicken chops, pork and lamb chops. Without it, our limited recipes will have to be reduced again. I don’t want it! For me, eating is a top priority, more important than conquering the world. If I want to eat rich and varied dishes, all kinds of seasonings are essential.”

“Lillian said pitifully, “No matter how important it is, you have to be rich to buy it. If you don’t have money, you’ll only be able to eat potatoes.”

Let’s make money. Robb walked behind a nearby house with a piece of silk. After a while, the silk turned into a silk robe emitting a blue aura. He went to the dwarf merchant and took it out. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Dwarf, are you interested in buying this robe?”

“Wow!” The dwarf merchant exclaimed, “This is a really good robe, ah, look, look at this workmanship. This is not ordinary. Coupled with this blue light, it has a very powerful enchantment. No magician or priest can resist this.”

Robb smiled and said, “How much are you going to pay for it?”

“Ah! My apologies, but while it’s great, I don’t dare to purchase this.” The dwarf merchant awkwardly said, “Your robe is at least worth more than a hundred gold, but as you can see, I’m just a small merchant selling daily goods. The biggest business I’ve done in the past two months is the ten pieces of silk you just bought, and that was only worth two or three gold coins. As for other commodities, such as salt and cotton, I can only earn a few copper and silver at a time. I don’t dare buy goods worth a hundred gold coins at all. Otherwise, if I can’t sell them, I’ll go bankrupt.”

Robb thought to himself, “Oh! Is that so?”

Well, it seems that although I have the ability to make great equipment, I might not be able to sell it.

The real world isn’t a game. The game has auctions, where players can easily buy your things. However, in the real world, sales channels will limit your means to sell your goods.

The robe he just made may be wanted by rich magicians, but where are these people? I can’t find them.

This is the current situation in the middle ages, buyers and sellers aren’t connected and the circulation of goods is extremely inconvenient.

Of course, Robb can also fly to a big city with a flying spell, and find a rich magician or a big merchant, and afterwards, he can even use the knowledge to teleport back and forth conveniently (The game has a rule in which you can only teleport to cities you’ve been to)

However, that’s not what a lazy person does! If he flies all over the world just to make some money, what’s the difference between that and doing a “delivery” mission in game?

No matter how much money you earn that way it can only be called hard earned money, which doesn’t line up with my spirit of laziness!

Is there a way to make money lazily?

Robb shrugged and said, “What’s aspects are your favorite in terms of acquisition?”

The dwarf smiled and said, “Someone everyone can afford, needs, and easy to carry. For example, pepper! It’s necessary for making all kinds of delicious dishes. The price is high, profit is high, and it sells quickly. The rich people in every big town buy some of it, and it’s easy to transport. If I buy it at a relatively low price and load it onto several big carts, it’ll be sold out easily. For example, you really want to buy, don’t you?”
Robb was happy, “I want to sell you something for pepper, but you say you want pepper? Are you kidding me? As far as I know, pepper isn’t produced in the west, so it has to be shipped from the east, so it’s more expensive than gold. Yet you say you want to buy here, that’s bullshit.”

“I don’t dare!” The dwarf merchant respectfully said, “No one dares to tease a priest. I’m just saying what I want.”

“Fine, I know what I have to do now.” Robb smiled and asked, “How long will you be in Westwind Town?”

“Five days!” The dwarf merchant smiled and said, “I stay in each town for five days before leaving for the next.”

“Five days? Great!” Robb smiled and said, “Come back after five days before you leave Westwind Town, come to my church and get ready to buy pepper. I’ll make you a lot of money.”

The dwarf merchant respectfully replied, “Okay, then I’ll certainly come on time.”

Robb said, “By the way, before you come. First, sell me handful of pepper.”

“Huh?” The merchant suspected that he heard wrong, “Priest, you say that you’ll sell me pepper in five days. Why are you still buying pepper now? My purchase prices are much lower than the selling price, so if you buy now and sell it to me later, you’ll lose a lot of money.”

Robb smiled and said, “It’s in my personality to give money. It’s called relieving creatures from suffering.”

Lillian felt embarrassed beside him. Her master really liked throwing money around. Since she took charge of their accounts, she found out that her master’s really fussy about his meals. He had to eat meat at every meal, and she had to eat the same as his servant. The clothes he wears were also fastidious. Several sets of clothes are worn accordingly, all in different styles, and forcing her, his servant, to change clothes as well.

Moreover, her owner was super lazy and didn’t bother to do anything himself. He had to take the money to ask someone to pick the fruit that he could pick with only a few steps up the mountain, and he had to pay to hire a townsman to do it when he went out and went around the town.

He also has this strange habit of asking people to do things through posting a piece of cloth in the town, with the name: “Quest Board”. According to himself, this is very funny, saying that it is the adventurer turns host, anyway, it’s lot of nonsense that I don’t understand.

Now her master’s playing again. He actually wants to buy and sell pepper to the merchant in five days’ time. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of human morality?

Lillian quickly held Robb’s sleeve and said hurriedly, “Master, what on Earth are you going to do? We really don’t have much money.”

Robbs smiled and said, “Don’t worry, your master just remembered that in the game, there was a minigame, Dark Blade Happy Farm, hahaha!”
