Dragon's Origin

Chapter 89: Making Quick Money (Part 2)

Perhaps people might think it's unreasonable for Wang Sheng to ask for money from an honest carpenter. But if anyone thinks such an honest-looking carpenter is truly honest, they probably wouldn't survive three days in Worry-Free City. They'd definitely die of stupidity.

Everyone in Worry-Free City, even a beggar or an old woman you accidentally see, is likely an exceptional assassin. An honest face just makes it easier to lower people's guard.

Although the carpenter gave Wang Sheng five hundred gold coins, he still profited. He had already pre-ordered more than eighty copies of the chair design Wang Sheng gave him. After giving Wang Sheng five hundred, he still made a net profit of three hundred. As for the cost of the wood and craftsmanship, that was just a small fraction.

The honest-looking carpenter wanted to wriggle out of paying the gold coins more than anyone else, but he knew he couldn't. How easy is it to welch on a Rank 5 assassin? Not to mention that the guy even let you make money. If you're not satisfied and still want to deny the debt, I'm afraid this carpenter shop will be burned to the ground tomorrow, just like Ling Ba's warehouse.

The furniture Wang Sheng ordered finally made its debut. What surprised people was that it was just a chair, but the style was a bit special, with a curved piece of wood underneath, allowing the person sitting on it to rock back and forth. It is said that Wang Sheng calls this a rocking chair.

Now Wang Sheng was sitting in his own shop, behind that bright, brand-new iron cutting board, on that thing called a recliner, rocking back and forth. With his eyes half-closed and a comfortable expression, the sunlight shone on Wang Sheng from outside, and anyone who saw it could imagine Wang Sheng's comfort.

He went to all that trouble just for this? The crowd could no longer keep up with Wang Sheng's train of thought. However, insiders realized that Wang Sheng had only come up with an idea, and not only did he not pay for the rocking chair, but he also received five hundred gold coins for nothing. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Everyone else works so hard to kill someone or a monster, risking their lives, and only earns a few hundred gold coins. Wang Sheng actually made five hundred gold coins just by taking a stroll. How could people not be jealous?

Hate him? No one could bring themselves to hate him. Such a simple thing, almost anyone could have thought of it, but no one had thought of it before. Who could they blame? Even the carpenter willingly paid the gold coins, so what else could others say?

Those who wanted to know the news ordered rocking chairs, and after learning the truth, they gnashed their teeth, wishing they could drag Wang Sheng over and beat him up. But no one dared, so they could only wait resentfully for the carpenter to deliver the finished rocking chairs.

The carpenter was also afraid of complications, so he worked quickly, rushing to make them overnight, and by the morning of the next day, he had made more than eighty of them and quickly delivered them to each house.

They've already bought them, so what else can they do? Sit! And once they sat down, hey, it was really comfortable. Lying halfway there and rocking, it was really more comfortable than lying in bed or sitting in a chair, both comfortable and free. Well, ten gold coins, just consider it buying some comfort.

Those with quick minds immediately thought of using this thing to please their ancestors, while those with slower minds only thought of their ancestors after enjoying it themselves. So, before the evening of the second day, the rocking chair design was sent to the desks of various high-level figures via messenger birds.

Of course, those closer to the water get the moon first. The Worry-Free City Lord's Mansion directly ordered fifty of them. Everyone with a face in the City Lord's Mansion got at least one, and some experts also got one each. This was just the first batch of orders, and there would be more later.

The order was given directly to the carpenter shop, as he was the most experienced and skilled, and his craftsmanship should be the best. Other carpenters could also imitate it, but they certainly wouldn't be as skilled as him, who had already made dozens of them. The best wood was directly requested, as they didn't lack gold coins anyway.

Just this big order alone almost made the carpenter burst into laughter, not to mention the subsequent orders. All in all, this was a big deal worth thousands of gold coins, which was much more comfortable than killing people.

The carpenter was also not simple. After receiving the order, without saying a word, he once again brought five hundred gold coins to Wang Sheng's shop. In front of many neighbors, he patted his chest and said that in the future, Wang Sheng could just ask for any furniture he wanted, and he would take care of it, with the best wood and the best craftsmanship, free of charge.

Wang Sheng's butcher shop had no other income besides the tusks and hind legs of the wild boar, but a rocking chair allowed Wang Sheng to directly collect a thousand gold coins before and after. This speed of making money was comparable to robbery.

"He's robbing people!" Ling'er commented. When she heard the news, Ling'er simply didn't know what to say about Wang Sheng, and could only describe it as robbery.

Of course, Ling'er was very dissatisfied. Such an idea could earn a lot of gold coins in a few days, so why give it to a dull carpenter? Wouldn't it be better to give it to the Imperial Treasure Pavilion?

"This kind of thing is too easy to imitate, so he's just making quick money," Lu Wenhou smiled. Ling'er was unconvinced again, so she could quietly read books for a few more days.

In any case, Wang Sheng's method of making money was truly capable of producing thunder in silence. Amidst everyone's expectations, Wang Sheng quietly lay on the rocking chair, waiting for monsters to be delivered to his door.

Seeing that Wang Sheng had no further actions, those who were watching began to consider testing the waters. So, someone followed the task Wang Sheng left in the assassin hall and brought a few low-level monster corpses to his door.

It was just a test, so there was no need to bring any high-level monsters, First Realm or Second Realm was enough. Two people who looked like hunters each brought a monster and sent it to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng didn't ignore them just because the monsters were low-level. He held up a board, which showed the price list of various monsters sold by the Imperial Treasure Pavilion and Baoqing Yutang. According to the price, after weighing the weight, Wang Sheng scratched a few times on the ground with pebbles, and calculated the gold coins to be paid.

The two hunters didn't seem to have any objections, as they were just testing the waters and not for the gold coins. So, they exchanged money for goods, and the deal was done. After the two left, the neighbors who also had shops calculated how much money should have been paid. To everyone's surprise, it was exactly the same as what Wang Sheng had calculated. Everyone was stunned, how did Wang Sheng calculate it so quickly?

Wang Sheng ignored everyone's surprise. After receiving the monster, he didn't rest on the rocking chair, but directly put a First Realm monster on the cutting board.

Without directly cutting it open, Wang Sheng first carefully observed the monster's entire body, looking at it back and forth, and then stroked and kneaded it from head to toe before the dark dagger appeared in his hand with a flick of his wrist.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Sheng once again began that dazzling, dreamlike dissection performance.
