Chereads / The Merchant of Endless Gain / Chapter 13 - Chapter 13. Upgrade

Chapter 13 - Chapter 13. Upgrade

The girl continued to stare at the two items and seems to be in doubt for a while.

I definitely don't trust her enough to accommodate her troops into my territory, and she, she doesn't have enough trust to take the chain as well.

I never had any hope since the beginning anyways, I just wanted to test things out. And sure enough, she rejected the offer without hearing what I have to say.

No amount of wealth would make her give up on her freedom after all.

It's a shame, maybe I could have even tried breeding for an heir if she accepted the offer, fufu.

Maybe the maids working at my house, *slap* I woke myself up from my delusion and browse the shop more.

Maybe I'm going on to the wrong path, I should open my very own chamber of commerce.

I have enough wealth to be on top of the wealth charts since a few days ago.

2 days until my walls get attacked and here I am, thinking about building a freaking chamber of commerce.

I'm doomed, my sense of crisis is worrying.

I send a message to the previous girl that I'll hire her 5k troops in the next 2 days for the battle.

Two days passed and, good news, the ladders the invader brought were only half of my wall size.

It's time to wheeze myself to dead.

Bombardment comes from the walls, just a day ago, my troops came and told me that the enemy count totals 200k and apparently reinforcement could even be seen moving.

I forgot to send a scout until it was too late but well, my walls too vast and long, they can't surround it all.

It's time, Barn is on his way with the 7k elf transformation potions, I hired 7k troops on the spot and send them off to Barns.

After giving a potion each, they march off to the walls. Bow and arrow cost would also have to be compensated by me as well....

Last time, only the elves took actions while the normal troops only stand on the walls giving me low cost maintenance but today, fire the arrows!

A spendthrift, that's what my new title should be. I laughed to myself maniacally.

The candlelight chamber of commerce, my creation is also already made except there's no member as of yet.

Barn Jones visited me late in the evening.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an upgrade of the laboratory and hire more people for the lab."

"Accepted, I'll allocate 1m gold for the construction and hiring of new hands."

*Thud* Barn looked over at me, clearly shocked and in disbelief.

Well, 1m gold isn't low but I can take it out, you know. I'm just that filthy rich.

"Thank you, your majesty, thank you so much!"

Clearly overjoyed, he rush out.

"Oh and Barn! The laboratory must be build within the 2nd wall, not the 1st wall."

I don't know if he heard it or not, I'll send a soldier to relay the message later then.

The current battle is as good as over considering they didn't prepare enough tall ladder.

I opened the forum and sold 100k magic cores to the system and transferred 1m gold to Barn.

My current magic cores currently is at 675k amount. Too filthy rich, you can't even fathom it.

My golds at 351.5k gold?

As I checked I realized, the construction of the castle, despite no upfront, it'll deduct 125k gold weekly for the next 4 weeks and collect a total of 500k gold coins.

Though, I forgot, how high is my current debt?
