Chương 34: A Regular Commission

Coburn slowly set down the five boxes of meat. Meanwhile, the lady was completely shocked by the sudden summon of Coburn. Arthur did not hesitate to summon his Skeletons. Since the Union Government had blatantly given him the Class Name of [Skeleton Summoner], he would naturally not hide his Skeletons. If needed, he would even use his Skeletons in public without any issues.

"Ms. Miranda, these five boxes contain 50 kg of meat each. I also have another batch of meat, around 350 kg in total. If you want it, I will deliver it to you tomorrow morning," Arthur said. He offered the extra meat available, as he could earn extra Credits since they were currently desperate. Such an action would also save him the time he might need to search for buyers for this meat.

"No problem, Mr. Arthur. We will take that extra meat as well, with extra Credits, of course," the lady said as she contacted someone through her digital pad. Arthur was greatly delighted. If this Hunk Boar Meat were to be sold, he would obtain at least 38, 500 Credits for each boar, totaling 77, 000 Credits. With such an amount of Credits, he would definitely be able to hire at least two Beginner Skeleton workers.

However, when he thought about his second Quest, this kind of earning would absolutely not be enough to finish it. He would need to accelerate his earnings in the coming days. I might need to start hiring [Expert] Skeletons, allowing him to do more high paid commissioned Quests, Arthur silently calculated in his heart. Although earning 77, 000 Credits in a single day was a big achievement, and he had struggled to even earn 500 Credits just a few days ago, his growth over these two days was immense.

However, the burden on his shoulders had also increased. Hence, he needed to aim for bigger earnings; at the very least, half a million Credits per day. Just as Arthur was in deep thought, the door abruptly parted open. Two servants entered the room. However, they suddenly halted their footsteps, becoming shocked the moment they saw a skeleton standing in the middle of the room. They stared at Arthur, subsequently turning their sights towards their lady manager, seeking an explanation.

"Take those boxes and continue taking the orders," Miranda commanded the servants. The two reluctantly walked towards the boxes, whereas the skeleton remained standing near them. Arthur felt such a reaction was only natural; he had to get used to it. Average people were bound to be shocked when seeing a skeleton capable of moving like a living person.

"Here, Mr. Arthur. I have deposited a total of 40, 000 Credits for today's meat," the lady said, handing the Bank Card over. Arthur was slightly shocked. The total amount of money should only be 38, 500 Credits. However, the lady was generous enough to round up the amount.

"Thank you, Ms. Miranda. I will deliver a similar quantity of meat tomorrow morning around 9 o'clock," Arthur said with a joyous smile as he stood up to leave.

"If you don't mind, let me ask you something," the lady suddenly asked.

"Please do," Arthur nodded.

"Would you be willing to supply us with 500 kilograms of meat each week? If so, we would like to establish a regular commission arrangement with you," Miranda asked with a little reluctance. 500 kg of Hunk Boar Meat each week? Arthur silently calculated in his heart. He could definitely take this commission job. Doing so would definitely earn him a weekly sum of at least 50, 000 Credits. However, it would definitely take at least a day to travel to the Luck Forest to search and hunt.

Although 50, 000 Credits was a huge amount, it was not huge enough to complete his System Quest requirement. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"I am not sure, Ms. Miranda. I will be very busy. I will try; if I am able to hunt the Hunk Boar, I will definitely sell it to you. However, I cannot guarantee a delivery," Arthur said. If he were to become entangled in a large Quest, he would definitely be unable to fulfill the quota. Such a situation would affect them as well. Hence, providing an optional decision was the best he could do right now.

"Very well. If you can get any meat, please sell it to our restaurant as a first priority," she said with a little disappointment.

"I will definitely do that," Arthur said. Following which, he left the office room and walked out the exact same way he had entered. While walking, his eyes swept over the many chefs working hard. Looking at this scene, he suddenly realized he could also hire Skeleton Chefs. However, to run a restaurant, there would definitely be a license involved that he currently could not get. He had no choice but to wait for a period of time. Currently, Arthur held a total of 60, 000 Credits on his person.

Tomorrow, he would obtain another 40, 000 Credits, totaling 100, 000 Credits. With such an amount, Arthur felt he could hire a Expert Skeleton. At this stage, he had already hired two Beginner Skeletons and one Intermediate Skeleton for work. Expert Skeletons were expensive to begin with. However, since he would be taking dangerous Quests, he definitely needed strong Skeletons. Coburn was an Expert, whereas Maan was an Intermediate.

If he were to hire one more combat-related Expert Skeleton, he would feel safe while taking high paid commissioned Quests. Coburn was a sword user, while Maan was a Tank. He could hire a long-range Skeleton, or an assassin-type Skeleton would also be very useful. As for a healer-type Skeleton, it would be extremely useful if any of the Skeletons were to get injured. There were a lot of options to hire a variety of Skeletons. However, his finances were currently lacking, so he had to wisely choose a single Expert.

Following which, Arthur hailed a taxi to his house, opening the marketplace and starting to search through the different categories. He finally chose an Expert status Skeleton with an affordable contract payment. It possessed a Spearman designation.

[Worker Status] Name: Dolph Designation: Spearman Specialist: Spear Professional Status: Expert Monthly Maintenance Cost (MMC): 5, 000 Credits Contract Payment: Gallon of Power Liquid, Gallon of Symmetry Liquid, Gallon of Volume Liquid Dolph seemed to be the best option for now. Although Arthur lacked knowledge regarding two of the three contract payment items, he possessed a little knowledge about Power Liquid. It was a commonly used liquid in high-speed transport vehicles.

A gallon of Power Liquid cost around 20, 000 to 22, 000 Credits. Hence, guessing a similar amount for the other two items, he could definitely afford this Skeleton. By the time Arthur arrived at his house, it was almost 10 o'clock. The lights were already turned off; everyone must have gone to sleep. He knocked on the door, and after waiting for a short moment, the door parted open. His father was the one who received him.

"Arthur, why are you home so late?" Robert asked as he entered the house. Arthur promptly explained the reason for his delay. Meanwhile, his mother also woke from her slumber and heated his food for him. While eating his meal, Arthur explained the matters regarding the extra unnecessary wastage from the beast.

"That is very precious meat, son. You must not throw that into the garbage. Every body part of an Alpha standard beast is edible, including its innards. If it is cleaned in a particular way, it is worth a lot of money. People will even fight to buy those meats. Let me speak to some people; we will sell to them, and they will take care of it," his father advised, stopping him from throwing away the innards of the Hunk Boar. Such a matter was reasonable when one gave it some thought.

In the Outer Sector, not everyone could afford premium cut meats. They had no choice but to eat these neglected parts to survive. Hence, Arthur could understand the situation and agreed to his father's plan. With that issue resolved, he directly went to bed. He needed a good sleep, as there would be a lot of matters to take care of tomorrow, and he might have to accelerate his progress. Thus, he needed both his mind and body to be at their peak level.
