How the Villainous Consort Avoids His Death Ending - Chapter 27.2
After Tristan’s death, he led Hezekia, which had fallen into Everett’s hands, and ushered in the golden age of Northern Continent trade.
More importantly, the merchant who later popularized Northern Continent wool throughout the empire and amassed immense wealth was also Sawyer.
The sole reason Sawyer undertook all these actions was one objective: to take revenge on Tristan, who had killed Ruellin.
In other words, he was astonishingly a devoted follower of that ill-tempered Ruellin. The exact reason for this loyalty was unknown……
❖ ❖ ❖
True to his future status as a tycoon and major financier, Sawyer purchased all the Northern Continent goods stacked on our fleet in bulk. He even followed the ships to inspect the quality, beaming with delight, and insisted on contracting all the Northern Continent grain stored in the corners as well.
Knowing Sawyer’s tendencies, I drafted the contract with a mixture of anxiety and reassurance. We decided not only on this shipment but also to maintain regular transactions for the foreseeable future. After collecting both the sale price and the contract deposit, the treasury quickly became well-stocked.
[☆Event☆ Popularize Northern Continent Wool in the Empire!] Objective: Sell a set quantity of Northern Continent wool in the empire to achieve profit (1,000,000 Gold/1,000,000 Gold) (Complete) You have completed a legitimate quest for the first time. Congratulations! ♪♪♬
While celebrating the first trade with wine, an alert popped up. The system added a comment.
Even safe divorces are a million ri away. But even a thousand-ri journey begins with a single step, right? Let’s pile up small gains to escape the fatal ending!
Am I still in the fatal-ending risk group?
Judging by Tristan’s attitude, I thought he would at least treat me as a trustworthy companion, but apparently not. Still, there was no need to take the system’s words seriously, since it often crashes. I ignored the comment and spoke.
“Hey, system. Give me my reward first.”
……
It seemed like the system was trying to weasel out of giving the promised reward. I thumped the bed to urge it.
“You said something about a random box. You haven’t forgotten, right? I haven’t forgotten, so it’s fine. Oh, and I know it shows the original story every time I complete an event, right?”
However, this event had a separate completion reward……
“What are you talking about? That is the normal reward, and the original story check is a system ver2.012.1 update reward. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
Impressive memory……
Naturally. I was a former actor who memorized scripts professionally. If I could get my due from the cheeky system, memorizing an update number was trivial.
“I don’t need to check anything right now, so I’ll just keep it. Is that okay?”
The system is not a wine bar for the user. Keep it?
“Why be so petty? Just keep it. Can I open the random box now?”
As you wish……
The reluctant answer returned weakly. Then another alert sounded.
[Commercial Quest Completion Reward: A random box has been granted. Do you want to open the random box?] Y/N
“Yes, open it.”
[‘Market Scale’ has been found in the random box.] Market Scale: A scale that, when thinking of a product, shows the selling price at the desired location. It is visible only to the user as an illusionary item!
“……Wow!”
For once, the system did something impressive. It shows selling prices. With this, future trade would be far easier. It was almost a cheat-level item.
‘The system is being this helpful? That cannot be.’
However, remember that it only shows prices for locations the user has personally visited ♡♡
Of course, I expected some restrictions.
Even so, it was still an excellent reward. Especially since tomorrow I planned to purchase goods for sale in the Northern Continent.
