Chapter 319: Delicious Fish Meat
Chapter 319: Delicious Fish Meat
"Umm..."
"Mmm!"
Clang!
In Lindsey's shop on the second floor, Elaine suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair behind her.
At this moment, the young girl covered her mouth, her beautiful purple irises filled with shock.
She had just been invited and, after swallowing a piece of fish meat in Lindsey's shop, had momentarily lost herself.
From a culinary perspective.
Elaine was captivated by the deliciousness of the food in her mouth,
But her Awakener's keen senses also made her immediately feel the effects of the fish meat within her body, enhancing her physical attributes to a certain degree.
This feeling was different from that of potions or other temporary remedies.
The essence radiating from the fish meat directly nurtured her flesh, achieving a certain permanent enhancement effect!
Elaine looked at Lindsey, who was smiling at her.
She widened her eyes, even forgetting to remove her hand from her mouth:
"Food that permanently enhances constitution!"
"A chef of Stage Three or higher can cook such a thing, but they also need quite precious materials to do it?"
"Lindsey, where did you get this from?"
Without turning her head, Lindsey gave a thumbs-up and, with her back to the courtyard, pointed at the river of the Commerce River:
"Didn't it rain heavily a couple of days ago?"
"There was a strange thing in the river that was washed in by the water, and then it just so happened to be caught by me."
Elaine immediately realized.
When she was rowing, she had seen Lindsey catch many strange things:
"Is it that kind of ancient fishing skill?"
Lindsey nodded:
"Yes, that's the one."
Seeing Lindsey's acknowledgment, Elaine became even more interested.
She helped up the chair she had knocked over and sat down again, but her posture was somewhat restless:
"Lindsey, can you catch some more of this fish?"
Lindsey immediately shook her head:
"It's just a coincidence; where in the world would you find such a good thing?"
Elaine's expression fell, and she could only console herself by spearing another piece of fish meat.
Looking at the merchant girl, Lindsey added:
"You don't need to eat it so quickly. This thing can take effect three times, and then you can come back later and try it again."
"You can treat me two more times." Hearing this, Elaine reluctantly calculated, "Lindsey, how much fish meat do you have left? Have you considered selling it?"
Seeing the girl's eagerness, Lindsey sighed:
"You're so focused on money that you're like a merchant who follows the essence of wealth."
Elaine replied confidently:
"What can I do? I can't just stop doing business, can I?"
"Although it's not as big as the stockings business, as a rare treasure, operating this could also make a good profit."
At this point, Elaine leaned over the fish stew on the table and, facing Lindsey, held up two fingers:
"I only need a two percent commission."
Lindsey shook her head in refusal:
"There's only one fish; it's not enough to sell as a product."
Seeing Lindsey's repeated refusals, Elaine gave up.
She changed her posture and sat down again, leaning against the wall and showing off to Lindsey:
"Forget it then."
"But Lindsey, in four days, when I settle the final payment for this batch of goods, I'll bring the money to you. Let me tell you in advance, this time it'll be a pleasant surprise."
Lindsey raised an eyebrow:
"How surprising?"
Elaine answered confidently:
"Together with last week's earnings, it'll be enough for you to buy at least two Phoenix Grass!"
Within a week, the goods had been distributed, and the increased earning speed was to be expected.
Lindsey was also concerned about Elaine's situation:
"Since stockings are so popular, won't other merchants make your life difficult?"
"So I partnered with Alquin," Elaine replied directly, "the guy who sent someone to spy on you before. You must have noticed that no one has been watching you lately, because I've already made a deal with him."
Hearing the name of this Stage Six merchant, Lindsey raised an eyebrow, instinctively sensing trouble:
"With their nature, won't they try to take over your entire business?"
Elaine forced a smile:
"How could they not?"
"So I've also been looking for an Artisan to get a patent for these stockings."
Lindsey was a little curious:
"A patent from an Artisan?"
Elaine patiently explained:
"It's a way to register your design, proving that a certain item is your invention. Even if others copy it, they have to pay you some design fees. If they profit from it without permission and are discovered, the Mobile City will have a reason to come after you."
Isn't this a patent...
Lindsey knew the name of the Mobile City.
It was one of the main cities in the world, built by Artisans united.
It was said that rare transcendent items from the outside world were easily found in the Mobile City.
However, Lindsey also noticed a detail in Elaine's words:
"This patent, do you have to find an Artisan for it?"
Elaine nodded affirmatively:
"Of course, after all, it's a business exclusive to the Mobile City, others wouldn't dare to get involved."
"..."
Patent rights in another world do have a unique local flavor.
Lindsey smirked.
As they chatted, the fish on the table was also finished.
After this wonderful meal, Lindsey took the opportunity to ask Elaine:
"Elaine, you know I need other plants to treat my injuries. Have you heard any news about that recently?"
Elaine shook her head.
"I'm sorry."
Lindsey rephrased his question:
"What about the gems sold in the business district—I'm referring to the high-end ones affected by Essence. What's their selling price? And what's the market like for the corresponding ores?"
"Are you looking for an Artisan to craft equipment?" Elaine was a little curious, but she didn't press further and soon answered directly, "As for gems, I know that a Flame Gem sold for 174 gold coins last month. But for minerals... most of them are purchased by Artisans, and then they use them themselves. Aside from merchants who specialize in this trade, few people deal with this business."
Lindsey made a request to Elaine:
"Can you help me find out some information? Consider it a reward for treating you to this meal."
Elaine stood up from her chair:
"No problem, when I come to give you the money, I'll also let you know the results."
As she spoke, Elaine prepared to leave.
She had recently felt that her Awakened Skill was about to break through to the Fifth Stage, and she was busy managing her commercial empire.
Even though they had a good relationship, it wasn't possible to keep staying.
Lindsey also stood up and saw Elaine out. As they bid farewell, he asked one last question:
"One last thing."
"I couldn't find the Warrior Guild in Lookout City or Nine Bays City. Where should I go to find their organization?"
Elaine's expression became a little complicated.
She stood at the door, hesitating for a moment, before finally saying slowly:
"To find the Warrior Guild, in the entire Forest Courtyard world, you can only go to Transcendent City for now."
