Chapter 74 - 74. Awww... I Had Been Missed By The Kids (1/2)
The next following day, the weapons were ready to be picked up and 200 sets were laid on the floor of the Great Hall while the 20k Arrows were still churning in the Fusion Chamber.
From the looks of it, it seems as though the House of Keating was preparing for war. A set of the weapons were given to the Atelier and was displayed prominently outside the glass front display and everyone who walked past could see the difference of the make of these newly upgraded weapons.
Bruce and Blake were called in and they were surprised at the array of weapons that had been arranged neatly by the children and were astonished beyond words these weapons had been upgraded by Yours Truly. Hah hah hah.
”Here are your new weapons, my dear friends. 200 sets of them. You can freely sell them once you had notified me of the selling price. Prius here would be taking in the details.” I beckoned for the duo to come forward and inspect the goods and when they held it in their hands, the craftsmanship was second to none.
”Oh My God...!!! I never believed it until I saw it in my eyes. These light bows and crossbows had been upgraded... But why is yours still the same old one, my friend?” Bruce held a composite now in his hands and found that the damage rating had increased considerably. He even saw his crossbows were upgraded and it seems to be tauter and he estimated the speed of the bolts would be increased by 20-60 km/h.
When he looked at the iron broadhead Arrows made by Level 4 Iron, his eyes were close to tears... He never knew that his old iron flat head Arrows had also been upgraded to a more lethal tip. The wooden shaft had also been fluted with a layer of iron.
”My God... To think that there is another fine bowmaster here in our little town... I can't express my deepest gratitude well enough, young man... These 200 composite bows and composite crossbows would definitely be a big hit. But where are the customers coming from?” asked Bruce since he does not fork out a single credit for the weapons and asked how my marketing strategy would work out.
'I can thank you enough, brother. These daggers, karambit, short and long swords are perfectly made from Level 4 Iron. I can't thank you enough and I am sure that the towns would appreciate such fine pieces. As Bruce had asked, how are you going about with the marketing?” asked Blake as he withdraws a short sword and finds it to be of his exquisite taste.
Then horror of all horrors... All weapons were unsharpened, including the broadhead Arrows... Yup... They need to be blade washed or grounded to be sharpened. You think the MC has to do all the job for them meh...?
”Hah... You need to sharpen them yourselves, dudes. These weapons were produced by me but the sharpening has to be done in your side. Don't worry, sales would pick up once you had completed sharpening one set each for 15 of my travelling merchants.”
”Now I need to compile the sale prices, please,” I instructed as the men quickly swiped their respective weapons into the storage bags. How do you think they going to carry all these back? Haiyaa...
”The composite light bow would be sold at 2500 credits, the composite crossbow would be sold at 4000 credits. These broadhead Arrows would be sold per quiver 50 pcs at 750 credits,” said Bruce as he finally made up his mind on the pricing.
”This dagger, Assassin's Karambit, the short and long sword would be 1500 credits, 2000 credits, 3500 credits and 5500 credits respectively,” replied Blake as he had finished swiping all his weapons into his storage bag.
Prius who were taking the accounts for the total number of weapons said, ”Bruce has a total of 2.1 million credits on investment and Blake has 2.5 million credits. That's a total of 4.6 million credits. Bruce's price is inclusive of 200k broadhead Arrows. He would be receiving those Arrows by this evening I suppose?”
Hearing the investments made and the tradesmen were getting a 60% profit from it, I smiled and nodded and replied, ”Yes, the broadhead Arrows would be received this evening. I will notify you to inform Bruce to come and collect them later.”
”Thank you for being part of House of Keating investment. You are now part of the family and in times of need, please do not hesitate to come forth and find Yours Truly.” I announced and since the owner of the Atelier was there as well, he was also deeply affected by the short speech made by me.
