A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 188 Traveling Chamber of Commerce
"I want 30%." Ma Long understood what Lyon meant and immediately asked for the share he needed.

"It's too high." Leon shook his head: "After all, I need to pay the costs, so I should at least earn more."

"Do you know the current price of a Void Essence in the Elemental City?" Malone asked Leon.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too low." Lyon shook his head.

"One Void Essence has been priced at 300G, which is more than three times the original market price. I only want %, and you will definitely make a profit from the remaining %." Ma Long chose to confront Lyon directly.

"Twenty percent." Lyon was very satisfied with the price, but bargaining is inevitable in business.

"How much void essence can you provide?" Malone frowned and asked Leon.

"One hundred and sixty-five portions of Void Essence." Lyon took out all his inventory.

Ma Long took a breath when he heard this. He originally thought that Lyon only had a dozen or so Void Essences at most, but he never expected that this guy had so many.

He clearly remembered that Leon had only explored the mines to the twentieth floor, still in the early stages. How could he have obtained so much Void Essence? Could it be that the Shadow Brutalists and Shadow Shamans from the lower levels had begun to station themselves in the first 40 floors, closer to the surface?

But no matter which one it is, Ma Long feels that this amount of Void Essence, even if it is only 20%, is enough for him to make a fortune, but he will not agree immediately, he still wants to gain more benefits.

"Twenty-five percent, let's each take a step back."

"One percent." Lyon directly halved the benefit fee again.

He is not a fool. Malone's expression just now clearly proves that the number he has is far more than the other party imagined, and it may be more than the void essence that Malone himself is going to sell. Lyon doesn't think Malone will let go of this opportunity to make money.

"It's too low." Ma Long frowned when he heard this. Although 10% was a profit, after all, he didn't have to pay for the cost himself and it was just a side job, but he still wanted more.

"So there's nothing to talk about?" Lyon turned around and prepared to leave after hearing that.

Ma Long was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted to Leon, "Are you leaving just like that? If you don't sell it soon, the price might not be the same in a few days."

"You are not the only one from Stardew Valley who can go to the Elemental City." Leon reminded Marlon without turning his head.

After all, he and Ma Long are just partners who need each other, and they are not relatives or friends. Lyon does not want to suffer too much loss in this transaction.

"Twenty percent." Upon hearing this, Ma Long had no choice but to lower his requirements again.

"One percent." But Lyon insisted on the price.

"At least 20%." Ma Long didn't want to give in either.

Just when the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Linus's voice suddenly reached Leon's ears: "You don't need to cooperate with him. Just throw the Void Essence into the shipping box of your farm."

After hearing Linus's reminder through the voice of the wind, Lyon instantly felt confident.

"I'm sorry, President, this transaction can't go through. I just remembered that I have a client who is interested in these. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Leon waved goodbye to Marlon and slipped out of the Explorers Guild.

Watching Leon leave, Malone stared at the empty hall in amazement, feeling extremely regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to Lyon's 5000% offer. % is a return of nearly G, which is equivalent to more than one month's salary.

Jill, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and warned Ma Long, "That kid isn't that easy to handle. He may look young, but he's just as cunning as those veterans in the union."

"Aren't you just trying to make more money? It's been a long time since we both drank Blue Moon wine. With an extra 10%, we can buy an extra barrel of wine." Malone complained to Jill.

"Hey, Ma Long, you still haven't suppressed your desire for money. You haven't remembered what the president once said. If you still maintain this obsession with money, then you can prepare to live out your retirement in Stardew Valley until you die."

Jill looked helplessly at Malone, who looked regretful, and then closed his eyes without waiting for Malone to defend himself. Meanwhile, after receiving Lester's reminder, Leon left the Explorer's Guild and headed straight to Lester's camp, where he saw Linus basking in the sun outside his tent.

"Old man, is it true what you just said about releasing these void essences from the cargo box?"

As soon as they met, Leon rubbed his hands and came close to Linus and asked.

"Yes." Linus nodded in confirmation. "The transporter responsible for handling the shipping boxes will help you sell the goods to the highest-paying buyers, so you don't need to worry about your Void Essence being bought at a low price."

"Who is the transporter of the shipping boxes?" Leon asked.

"The Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce." Linus spat out the name of the organization to which the transporter belonged.

This unfamiliar organization made Leon even more curious: "What is the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce?"

"A business organization." But Linus just gave a brief summary and said no more.

"Forehead"

Leon looked at Linus helplessly, not willing to accept just this answer. He immediately asked indirectly, "Does this Chamber of Commerce charge a fee for helping with shipments?"

"Yes, but not from you," Linus replied.

"Why?" Leon asked curiously.

"Because you are the farmer." Linus answered as a matter of course.

"Ah?" Leon became even more confused after hearing this.

"High-quality crops." Linus pointed out the key point.

"Oh." Leon instantly understood what Linus meant.

Lewis once educated Lyon about the benefits of high-quality crops, saying that eating high-quality crops can bring longevity and health benefits to the consumers.

But this is exactly what intelligent creatures need most. No one can refuse to have a healthy and long-lived body. This is also the main reason why farmers have a high status in this world.

Lyon speculated that the reason why the Traveling Chamber of Commerce did not charge farmers any fees was probably to encourage farmers to use more shipping boxes to process their farm output so that they could get high-quality crops as soon as possible.

In this way, the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce got the high-quality crops it wanted, the farmers earned the money they wanted, and saved a lot of trouble in finding business opportunities. It was a complete win-win situation.

But what Leon was more curious about was why a business organization that could possess such a magical tool as a shipping box would care so much about high-quality crops.

Linus must know the answer to this question, so Lyon asked this question directly.

"All shipping boxes are made by one person, and most of the members of the Far Traveling Chamber of Commerce are ordinary businessmen."

Linus did not hesitate to give an answer to this question.

"Oh, then who can build the shipping box?" Leon asked.

"You'll know later." This time, Linus didn't explain much. Instead, he impatiently reminded Leon, "Go back. Don't bother an old man like me when I'm having no business."

Although Lyon still had some questions to ask after hearing this, he still obediently closed his mouth and said goodbye to Linus.

At the same time, I complained in my heart again that the big guys all like to speak halfway, and I don’t know who they learned this bad habit from.
