Death… And Me Chapter 2917: Suzumaki's Backing

Chapter 2917: Suzumaki's Backing

Suzumaki got a private room for him and Rean, knowing that the new star of the Arena might have something good for him. He couldn't let others hear their conversation. "So, what is on your mind? Do you need something special?"

Rean nodded his head. "I came to talk about three things. First, Alchemy Pills. People here in the Clan can buy the pills in the alchemy stores, but they are quite expensive. A simple Low- Level Foundation Breakthrough Pill is already 110 Rank One Spiritual Stones. I checked how much a High-Level one costs, and it is literally 100 Rank Two Spiritual Stones."

Suzimaki nodded. "The higher the quality, the harder it is to make. Besides, a High-Level Foundation Breakthrough Pill isn't something you can buy just because you have the Spiritual Stones. Could it be you want to buy one for me? I can get you one, but since there is a lot of demand and no supply, it will cost several times more. To be honest, those 100 Rank Two Spiritual Stones you mentioned are only for show. It is nearly impossible to acquire one of them with only 100 Rank Two Spiritual Stones."

"Is that so?" Rean smiled in response. "How much would you reckon such a High-Level Pill would cost?"

"Since they can only be concocted by Silver Level Alchemists, we won't be able to talk about it if you don't start with at least 500 Rank Two Spiritual Stones," Suzumaki gave his offer, expecting Rean to look frightened.

However, Rean's smile only increased. "That's good enough. Say, suppose I am able to offer you Foundation Establishment Pills that can absolutely guarantee a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm without any side effects. How much do you think you could sell them for?"

In the end, the one with a frightened expression was Suzumaki himself. "What did you just say?"

"Just answer the question," Rean hurried him.

"Such a pill would need a Golden Level Alchemist to be concocted. Could it be you know someone like that?" Suzumaki insisted. However, after seeing Rean just smiling without giving an answer, he decided to speak about the price. "Well... I would need to check the market. Such a pill should be worth around a hundred Rank Three Spiritual Stones. After all, it is a Peak-Level Foundation Breakthrough Pill."

Rean checked about it in the terminal back in his 'master's' residence and was happy to see that the system of grades in the Werdlem Empire wasn't different from where he came from. They had Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Divine, and finally Legendary. Rean himself was a Divine Level Formations Master and Blacksmith, for example.

"What's the exchange rate of Rank Three Spiritual Stones for Rank Four?" Rean asked again.

"That would be 10 to 1," Suzumaki explained. "However, you won't be able to buy them for this kind of price since Rank Four ones are better for cultivation. That said, you are looking at an exchange rate of 11 or 12 for each Rank Four."

"That brings me to my second topic. What if I need you to do the exchange for me?" Rean asked again.

By now, Suzumaki already understood that Rean simply didn't want to be known, and that's why he was coming for him. "Is that okay to trust me this much?"

Rean shrugged. "You just don't seem the type to pa.s.s away such a great opportunity. I looked a little into you, and it seems like your clients are always satisfied."

"That, I can't deny. Hahaha!" Suzumaki was indeed very proud of the reputation he built in the Clan. Even a few elders came to him once in a while due to his discretion. But then, he a.n.a.lyzed Rean once again. "Are you... truly a twelve-year-old kid?"

"That is for you to decide," Rean didn't give a precise answer. "So, how much would the exchange rate be?"

Suzumaki pondered everything he heard from Rean so far. "If you can truly acquire such Peak-Level Foundation Breakthrough Pills, I can make it for the same exchange rate as the Gondel Clan, 10 Rank Three for 1 Rank Four. I would be making quite a ma.s.sive profit with that kind of pill, after all."

"Great!" Rean nodded, satisfied. "That is not the only kind of pill I can offer. I can also get you Foundation Stabilizing Pills, Healing Pills, Elemental Pills, you name it. All of them will be Peak Level Pills. My condition is one and one only: My name must not be disclosed."

Suzumaki patted his chest. "You don't need to worry about that. Since you are bringing me such a deal, I might as well throw in a little piece of information about myself. Can you guess why I can carry such trades within the Gondel Clan and not be caught?"

"You have the backing of a High Elder at the very least," Rean spoke as if it was a matter of fact.

"... Well, that was a buzz kill..." Suzumaki sighed after hearing that. "Fine, I do have the backing of a High Elder. But it is also this elder that makes certain that everything is carried anonymously. He asks no questions, I ask no questions, and the clients ask no questions. It is as simple and efficient as that."

Rean was satisfied with that. "Good enough for me. Now then, the third thing I wanted to talk with you. Would you be able to acquire Enchanted Moon Gel?"

"What is that?" Suzumaki had never heard about it.

Rean gave him a quick explanation. "It is a material used for alchemy. According to the information I got, you need to be at least a High Elder to request it and you need to give an explanation about what you are going to use it for. Naturally, there is also the issue of price."

"That hard to acquire?!" Suzumaki narrowed his eyes. "I have the backing of a High Elder, but it wouldn't be easy to have him request this Gel you want. I will need to look into this issue and give you an answer later."

Rean wasn't that hopeful to start with. "Take your time."
