The Transmigrated Novelist

Chapter 228 - 228: Negotiating A Share

After the fun times with his experienced beautiful slave, Roy sat down on the bed trying to cultivate his Magic Power. Starting with the most common elements like Water, Air, Earth, or Fire.

Since he was able to and was already cultivating multiple elements, he clearly was eligible to cultivate every element he wanted, as long as he was able to.

The problem was that it was extremely difficult to do so when the concentration of those elements in the surroundings was extremely low.

For example, the concentration of the poison, and acidic elements was extremely low inside that room, so he would be unable to improve much, no matter how much time he cultivated there.

So the basic and most concentrated elements were the best choice at the moment. It had been some time now that his sensory and connection to the elements had grown.

Now he was able to actually cultivate in every environment, and he didn't need to be covered in a particular element to cultivate.

In fact, the current him could be considered to have the highest speed and cultivation rate than any other genius out there, but that was still too bland and slow in his mind.

Because while the other geniuses were cultivating only one element to the peak, he was cultivating a lot of them, and he wanted to be at least as fast as others in each element.

If other people heard his thoughts they most probably would receive a shock that would force them to vomit blood, and then enter a comma.

But Roy didn't care, he had already decided on that matter, and he was trying his best to find a good solution.

The truth was that he had already found a solution, but he still didn't have the necessary control over the solution, and he was only making baby steps towards it.

The solution was as simple as it was difficult. During the cultivation, he would try to create an elemental avatar of himself, while separating his conscience into two parts.

It was the same as trying to write with the left and the right hand at the same time, while each hand composed a different poem.

Just like that, at that moment he willed it inside his mind and a similar avatar of him was created using the wind element.

While the similarity was obvious the created avatar was almost fully transparent, and difficult to be seen.

At the moment, all he could do with that avatar was to sit him down and slowly absorb the wind element from the room, but if he made progress he might even use that guy as a spy, or a partner in a fight.

The prospects were great, to be honest, but it was easier said than done to actually control such an avatar to even move, and even less perform complex moves and attacks.

To make matters worse, that was Roy's limit at the moment!

His already shocking speed of cultivation had been doubled at that moment and become more outrageous, as he was able to absorb the cultivated magic power once he dispersed the avatar.

Still, Roy wasn't satisfied with this, he knew that the potential of this technique was beyond imagination, and he couldn't help but even think of cultivating with 100, or 1000 avatars.

"Hmph~! I will certainly succeed one day!"

Saying those words with the hope of encouraging himself, he quickly started to cultivate the water magic element, while the avatar cultivated its own attribute.

Since he was supposed to be just a vegetative idiot, his presence and existence were forgotten quickly, so no one came to bother him, and he had enough time to cultivate and train.

The only problem was the lack of a good place to train, but it was impossible to try and have Alma build him one there.

After all, that would just attract a lot of stupid attention as people might even discover his little play.

He couldn't allow something like that to happen, so he had no choice but to try and think of a solution himself. Well not that it mattered much though, as he always had Gaia backing him up.

With those thoughts in his mind, he continued to cultivate magic power, and train until it was finally another day over.

Today, even before he left his house for his short spying tours, Alma appeared in his room with a tired expression saying,

"I did everything on that list! We can start in two days!"

"Wow~! Really!?

It's not wrong when they say that as long as you have money life is surely easier and simpler! By the way wifey, do you think that everything in this world has a price?"

"Huh!? Where did this come from?"

"Does it matter? I am just curious about your answer. After all, you are not only a woman but also a rich woman. So, what do you think?"

Alma was taken by surprise, and she had to think for a little while, as she finally said,

"Yes, I think that everything in this world has a price!"

"Really!? This will make things easier then! What is your price wifey!?"

"Hahahahah~! I expected such a question! I won't pretend to be pure and believe in emotions and feelings either, but if I were to say it then the price wouldn't be small by any means."

"That's for sure, but I am waiting for an integer here!"

"Well, if you want an integer then I would say, 10.000 thousand high-quality mana stones!"

"Wow! That's quite unexpected!"

"Why, don't you think that is a fair price?"

"No, I think it's too little for you. Well, let's make it like this, I will give you double, but once I do you will fully belong to me, and no one else will come before me!

What do you say wifey!?"

"Are you serious!?"

"Dead serious!"

"Very well, I agree. Let's see if you can!

But I don't want to waste all my life as a widow, so you only have time until the conference to make it happen, if you can!"

"Sound impossible, but I like it! Only like that will there be a sense of fulfillment once I achieve it! Haahhahah~!

I can't wait to have you serve me wifey!"

"We will have to see whether you have the qualifications when the time is right hubby! Now, what's next!"

"Well, there isn't much you can do from now on, just prepare a contract for our cooperation with an 8/2 profit separation!"

"Aren't you being a bit too greedy husband? After all, you wouldn't be able to pull this quickly if I weren't helping you! 40, 60!"

"Wow! You are talking about greedy honey? I am the one who gave the idea, and also will take care of the proceedings and its safety. 75, 25!"

"Now, now, hubby! You are going to use the facilities and equipment of the merchant guild. 50, 50!"

"Oh you won't have to worry about that, I plan to take them with a lease contract, renting them for 5 years, and then paying them with their primary price at the end of the lease! 70, 30!"

"That sounds quite good and dandy, but should I remind you that this business is a risk for us! 55, 45!"

"Well, I don't think that this is much of a risk since I don't plan to fail, and it won't fail! 65, 35!"

"You say that but how credible are your words? After all, didn't you end up here in bed, unable to show your face outside? 55,45"

"To an outsider that might sound true, but shouldn't you think the opposite wifey? My words are credible, precisely because the whole world thinks that I am like that, while we are negotiating here!"

Letting her process his words for a little bit, he continued,

"But I don't want to be called a miser by my own wife, so I will take a step back. 55, 30, 15! The last part is your personal share, and it has nothing to do with the merchant guild!

How about that!?"

"Wow, hubby to think that you would actually think that much about me! I am truly touched! We have a deal!"

After saying that, Alma even approached Roy and gave him a long kiss on the lips, as if she was trying to rekindle the passion of those days that they were riding in the carriage.

Roy accepted the kiss and answered in the same coin. In fact, he took it a step further as his hands started roaming on her body.

Alma had probably thought of using her charms against him, to make him fall for her. But the longer she continued the more it looked like she was the one falling deeper in the quicksand.

As a matter of fact, at some point, she even seemed to lose her control over her body and want to melt into his arms, but fortunately, she managed to get a grip of herself as she hastily pulled back.

"I give you a finger and you try to reach for the whole hand! Aren't you being too greedy hubby!? I don't see my promised payment either!"

"Hahahah~! It was you who took the initiative and profited from me wifey! Shouldn't I be the one who suffered a loss here?

But I am a generous and kind man so I won't take note of this case and consider it as a pre-pay!"

"You surely know how to glib your way through, are you sure you weren't some boy toy or merchant on your past life?"

"Who knows!?"
