East Meet West - Chapter 277: Mission

277- Mission

Chand Roj spent a few minutes appreciating the ‘Stalactite milk’ in his hands and then sighed as he spoke with some disappointment in his voice,

“Mr. Orochi, I wish you had brought the Stalactite milk before the yearly auction of our branch, as it could have been a good stage for selling it and you could also get a huge price for it.”

“But now, the price it could be sold for will surely be low when compared to what you could have gotten in the auction.”

Orochi nodded to express his understanding. Then he asked,

“Mr. Chand, I want you to give me an estimate price, at which this bottle of Stalactite Milk could be sold.”

“And by the way, in this bottle, there are 1000 drops of stalactite milk.”

Hearing this, Chand Roj closed his eyes for a few seconds and started thinking.

“Mr. Orochi, I am sure that you are aware of the effects of a single drop of Stalactite milk or you may have even used it?”

Chand Roj asked.

To this Orochi simply gave a nod because even if Orochi doesn’t admit it, Chand Roj can assume he used it. So, there is nothing to hide.

“Since you know then it makes it easier for me to explain. The energy contained in a single drop of stalactite milk is a huge amount, such that drinking it, a Demi-Human stage cultivator can easily raise their cultivation by a small realm.”

“So, a single drop of ‘Stalactite milk’ can be priced between 500 to 800 low grade energy stones.”

“Not to mention, many Pill Gurus even fight for getting their hands on few drops of Stalactite milk, as it can increase the quality of the pills they refine.”

“But the ‘Stalactite Milk’ is very rare and hardly found. So, this rarity is what further increases the price of ‘Stalactite milk’.”

“So, if I had to estimate, then a single drop of Stalactite milk can be sold for at least 1000 low grade energy stones or if it is counted in terms of gold coins, then it can be sold between 1 million to 1.2 million gold coins or even more.”

Hearing this, Orochi went silent for a moment as he processed all this.

Before coming to the Golden Chamber of Commerce, Orochi planned to sell the Stalactite milk to the system, but the price given by the system for a single drop of Stalactite milk is only 500 million Sikka or in other words- 500 Low Grade energy stones.

Which is very low compared to the price given by Chand Roj.

But there is also a problem, if he sells it to Chand Roj [Golden Chamber of Commerce] or some other organization, then he needs to be wary of human greed or the fact that they want to steal Stalactite Milk from Orochi by force.

But of course, with his current strength and magic attacks, Orochi has some confidence to save himself from evil guys and their evil schemes.

And Orochi is not worried about Chand Roj or the Golden Chamber of Commerce, because if they take action on Orochi or reveal his news to some outsiders then he can easily know who are the people having evil ideas on his things.

So, he just has to hide for a certain period and when he gets stronger, he will be back to settle scores with them. With the system, he has that confidence.

Not to mention, since they are a commercial organization, they cannot take actions that can compromise their customer’s identities, or else their credibility and name will be tarnished. And no one will do business with them anymore.

With this reason in mind, Orochi confidently came to the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

[Additionally, even if someone does come after him, then he can gain huge EXP and wealth from them.]

.

Suddenly Chand Roj’s eyes brightened as he brought Orochi back to reality.

“Yes, Mr. Orochi. If you don’t mind, can you give me some time? I would like to check something, that can help you in getting a large price for this Stalactite milk.”

Orochi nodded after hearing this, as he too wanted to see what is it that makes Chand Roj so excited and how he can get a higher price for his Stalactite milk?

Seeing Orochi agree, Chand Roj excitedly got up and walked out of the room.

After a few minutes, he returned with a huge book in his hand and placed it on the table, and started flipping its pages and started searching for something.

When Orochi’s eyes fell on the book and its content, he was quite surprised and immediately understood what Chand Roj wanted to find.

And just like Orochi thought, a few seconds later Chand Roj’s eyes stopped at a certain page and he excitedly showed it to Orochi.

“Mr. Orochi, look at this, someone has issued a mission at the Golden Chamber of Commerce.”

“Some Pill Guru is in urgent need of ‘Stalactite Milk’. And the Pill Guru has a minimum requirement of at least 200 drops of Stalactite milk. For that, the Pill Guru is offering a price of 1.5 million Gold coins for a single drop of Stalactite Milk.”

“The minimum requirement is 200 drops but there is no maximum limit. So, your 1000 drops of stalactite milk can easily be sold to this Pill Guru. And if calculated properly, for 1000 drops of Stalactite milk, you can get 1.5 billion gold coins.”

When Chand Roj mentioned 1.5 billion gold coins, saliva almost flowed out of his mouth.

Hearing this Orochi’s eyes brightened and he asked with some excitement,

“Then when can I get my money for this? I am ready to make this transaction.”

Hearing this, Chand Roj answered,

“This mission was posted in one of the branches of our organization located in the Saurastra Kingdom. So, either you can go to that branch and submit this bottle of Stalactite milk to receive the reward or if you want, I can send a message to the other branch about the completion of the mission and within 1 to 3 days, you can receive the reward.”

Orochi contemplated for a few seconds and finally answered,

“Alright then, Mr. Chand I request you to send a message to that branch and I will be back after 3 days. Or you can also contact me at this address.”

Orochi passed his address to Chand Roj.

“Then I will contact you.”

After exchanging a few more words with Chand Roj, Orochi got back to his house.

There are multiple reasons, why he did not choose to go to the branch present in Saurastra Kingdom instead decided to wait for another 3 days, such as:

There is still a threat or risk of exposure if he goes back to the Saurastra Kingdom and his enemies- Former fiancee and former friends might receive the news of him being still alive.

Another reason is since the location is in the Saurastra Kingdom, then there should be many strong people. And Orochi going there means, walking straight into danger. As he has Stalactite milk with him, then some people might threaten him in many ways. So, it is better to stay here and wait.

And another reason is similar to the previous one, let’s say after Orochi exchanges his bottle of Stalactite milk and gets his 1.5 billion gold coins, then maybe the Pill Guru has some bad ideas and sends his men after Orochi to get back his money, then surely it is another big problem for Orochi.

Hence, Orochi decided to wait for another 3 days.
