I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Leaving her without an option like that made her nod. “I’ll go back then, I have to prepare things for the next big step.”

“When will you be ready?”

“With all these ores and people? Give me a day!”

“Cool!” it was much faster than I imagined, “write down everything and send a dragon rider to find me.”

“Wait for a couple of hours and you’ll get everything.”

I brought her back to her forces before watching her leave. And like this, the big problem of cultivation was sorted out.

Of course it was just the first step. We still lacked resources and that altar, we lacked making potions and having capable alchemists.

“As she is going to take a couple hours to finish writing down everything, I have to sort out the alchemist problem first,” I muttered to myself while returning back to the outer zone.

[Hey, I need more experts]_-.

[Wood experts? The four, ahem, I mean the five you got aren’t enough?]

She, without meaning it, revealed her connection with those four. She knew I killed one, something she wouldn’t know except if someone told her about it.

But I already guessed it, so I jumped over this point and sent:

[I want another breed of experts, blacksmiths and alchemists]

As I was going to purchase experts, why not add blacksmiths as well? We need them, for many purposes actually.

We had many talents of the human I got who could become good blacksmiths in the future. But why now give them a little help and bring forth a few capable masters to teach them?

[Oh, going wild on talents I see… Why not? But if you can repeat the same deal we had before]

[This time is different] I knew she and her impact gave me the recipe, but it seemed they couldn’t decipher it. I got from Lily’s words that this recipe couldn’t be read or done but by Hectors.

And as the impact got his hands over such an ancient recipe, if Hector sniffed it out, they’d come to burn the impact’s headquarters to the ground, refusing any kind of deal.

That explained why they didn’t place this recipe into the never to be sold shelf.

[I can’t help you without getting something back!]

[You’ll get many bones]

[Not enough! These experts are real talents! I need benefits to force this deal through]

I paused. Should I let her get what I was going to make here? If so, then she had to regret forcing me to do it!

[I’m going to make something, a potion that can unlock cultivation at any race]

[What did you say?!!!]

[But… It’s precious! I need tons of materials and resources, lots of alchemists, and a certain number of highly talented ones. Also I need blacksmiths, better to be a grandmaster calibre of higher. The same goes for the alchemists as well]

[Damn fierce! But… Are you sure of this potion?]

[It’s what I’m going to use to make my boys cultivate] I shrugged, [Yet I have to emphasis on its value and rarity. I won’t sell it cheap!]

[I get it… But if we added in the deal the talents you ask for and the resources you need, won’t the price be lower?]

[Hmm… At most, you can have ten potions for each talent, plus half price of the resources I need]

[That… Let’s make it this way, you pay with your bones the regular price plus one hundred potions and twenty percent discount of the price of resources. This is the most I can offer]

[Thanks, but I’ll look for what I need somewhere else]

I instantly closed the chat. And as expected, she hurriedly returned to me.

[Hey Hye, wait! Don’t be rash! We are still talking!]

[You aren’t talking, you are just saying bullshit! If you have time to waste, then waste it away from me]

[Why acting so reckless and impatient? This isn’t our first time making a deal]

[I said my conditions, take it or leave it!] I didn’t give her any room to manoeuvre.

[But… The price…]

[Sigh! For old times sake, I can give you a discount over the next deals of the potions. Twenty percent discount per each potion, and the price will be set each time by me]

[This…]

[I’m sure other impacts will welcome such a deal] I threatened, [Just spreading the word around and many will come asking for a much better deal]

[But yours is a little overboard!]

[You know the deal isn’t about the current value of each potion, but the future prospects of it]

I wasn’t a fool! I knew these potions would allow the impact to train lots of fighters with basic cultivations. This would bring many benefits for the impact.

[How about this then…] She seemed to resign to her fate and try to get a better deal in another way, [You can promise to give us large batches of potions every week]

[Do you think these potions are common cabbage or what?] I grinned as she fell into my trap directly, [If you want, I can promise little potions to be sold over to you. If you want a little more, you have to pay resources back]

[This…]

[Or…] I had to scare her first before giving out what I really wanted, [We can sign a deal. I get twenty percent of everything you get from the betting world by the boys you will nourish with these potions]

[This… Sigh! Why are you getting much harder to deal with?]

[I learnt from the best!]

[It seems I taught you pretty much. Sigh! Ok, we can do it this way, you will provide one thousand potions for us per week, and we will provide twenty percent of the resources needed for them to be made. Plus the price of the potions will be cut in half! As for the income from the betting world, you can get five percent]

[I told you, don’t be sincere with me here. Bye!]

[Hey, Hye, don’t be like this!]
