Chapter 812: Can it sell out at such a high price?
In the evening, Robb sat on the stone stool of his chapel in Westwind City. Instead of wandering around the New Continent these past two days, he had returned to Westwind City and sat in his familiar spot.
[It's been a while since I sat here. Sitting back feels amazing,] he thought.
The search for new supplies in the New Continent hadn't made much progress in the past couple of days, so Robb decided to come back to Westwind City. On the stone table in front of him, there was a box filled with chocolates of various peculiar shapes—some shaped like rabbits, bears, mammoths, seashells, and more.
Several girls sat around the table, each chewing on a piece of chocolate, their cheeks moving in a delightful manner.
Xuelu, speaking in a slightly unclear voice, said, "You could have come back so easily, just a few steps through the transmission gate. Why did you come back and act like you've been away for a long time? Hmph, I only came through the gate to see you yesterday."
Robb replied, "Hmph, it's a change of mindset. Mindset, I say. You wouldn't understand!"
"I don't want to understand," Xuelu giggled. "By the way, is the New Continent fun? Gorda, Jike, and I have had enough rest, and we're thinking of going out for another grand adventure. How about I go to the New Continent and find something to do? For example, you could post a request, and the reward would be that if I find new ore, you'll marry me."
That was indeed a question, and Xuelu fell into deep contemplation.
Just then, the communication crystal ball lit up. The queenwas calling.
Although there was only a transmission gate separating the mining fields of the New Continent and Westwind City, there was a four-hour time difference. So when the queen called Robb recently, it was always past 10 pm for him. Therefore, receiving a call in the evening today caught him off guard for a moment before he remembered that he had already returned to Westwind Town.
With a smile, he answered the call and heard the queen on the other side sounding surprised, "Huh? You're in Westwind City?"
"Oh!" The queen didn't dwell on that question and quickly shifted to business. "The first batch of milk chocolates produced by my state-owned chocolate factory sold out."
"Oh!" Robb laughed, "Not bad, how much did you earn?"
"A lot!" the queen said, unable to laugh or cry, "Unimaginably much. This thing is just too delicious. Honestly, when I saw the shipment, a truck filled with chocolates was taken away. I really wanted to shout, [Don't take them away, leave them all for me to eat...] But for the sake of the national treasury, I had to reluctantly let go..."
Robb: "..."
The queen continued, "Because I was hesitant to sell them, I set the factory price extremely high, a price that even I couldn't accept. I thought that if they didn't sell at such a high price, I would keep them for myself."
Upon hearing this, the girls wiped their sweat in unison.
Then the queen slapped the table, angry, and said, "But guess what? At such an exorbitant price that even I couldn't afford, they sold out! What's going on? That taste-testing merchant, after just trying a tiny bit, didn't hesitate to buy a large quantity at a sky-high price!"
