This is simply profiteering.
He immediately classified this thing in his mind as a long-term money tree. Ben couldn’t help but look back at Roman. If they used the mana potion as a brand, it seemed like Little Roman establishing a merchant guild was not an impossible task.
Our Miss Roman naturally noticed Ben’s gaze. She couldn’t help but raise her small eyebrows, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and praised without reservation: "Halfway to ten thousand, Ben, just like you said! I knew Ben could do it!"
"The real show is yet to come, Miss Roman." Char sat down behind Ben and answered with a smile.
"No, Char, you might have misunderstood! Our Miss Merchant was just reminding me that the ten thousand Tuo was her capital." Ben looked at the stage below and said with an expressionless face.
Miss Merchant seemed like her mind had been read and didn’t feel embarrassed at all, instead, she looked like a little fox who had taken full advantage, covering her mouth and laughing smugly.
Antitina, sitting next to Char, saw this scene and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. She was born into a noble family, handling tens of thousands of Tuo wasn’t uncommon. However, it was impossible for someone like Ben and Roman to talk and laugh so leisurely, as if it’s no big deal.
After all, although her family had been considered wealthy, it was merely so.
Therefore, this scene, in her eyes, indirectly proved that this young knight lord, although venturing out alone, likely had an extraordinary background.
However, this noble lady obviously got it wrong—Roman absolutely had no concept of this whatsoever, Ben had been handling hundreds of millions of gold coins in the game, these small matters naturally were nothing to him—if he had any background, it would be hard to say.
The lights in the ’Circular Theater’ suddenly dimmed. The group turned their heads, only to notice the staff around extinguishing half of the torches on the walls, signaling that the transaction meeting was about to start—
The limp man beside them lowered his voice and said, "If we were in a box, the auction list should be delivered to those nobles at this time. Lord, is there anything you want?"
Ben watched the lights on the central stage brighten up: "Speaking of which, did they trouble you afterward?"
The limp man shook his head: "As you expected, it was widely known that you and Mr. Batom coerced me to Grey Squirrel Street that day. Later, Test’s people came looking for me, I just pretended not to know you—"
"It sounds like you weren’t too happy?" Batom teased from the side.
"I wouldn’t dare." The limp man now fully understood Batom’s status and naturally wasn’t as deferential as before. He looked at the stage below and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Lord, what is your mental valuation of that sword? In my opinion, it’s truly a perfect piece of art."
Ben knew he was talking about the Brass level Magic Weapon made from the dwarf treasure sword. He thought for a moment and estimated: "At least ten thousand to fifteen thousand Tuo."
As soon as he finished speaking, Antitina behind him softly exclaimed. Everyone was momentarily stunned, turning back to see the noble daughter blushing and waving her hand: "Sorry, it’s nothing."
She couldn’t help but gently press her chest to prevent her heart from beating too fast. The girl’s light blue eyes sparkled with a quick-witted and intelligent gleam—fifteen thousand Tuo is equivalent to one hundred fifty Erune small gold coins, and as his staff, she knew Ben’s financial situation—a fortune comparable to some small nobles’ lifelong savings was gained in no time.
Twenty thousand Tuo could even buy a knight domain in the countryside.
Antitina, having been raised in a noble household and possessing a sharp mind, believed that capital should be invested in further reproduction to be considered flowing wealth. She once lost her family fortune due to obsession with her designs, but a smart person wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
She quickly calculated what twenty thousand Tuo could do. With so much money, whether engaging in commercial activities or upward development, the path looked wide open. She estimated that with this sum, she could increase its value by thirty percent within a year.
