I Am a Businessman Selling Jars

Chapter 8: The Floating throne

“The first jar is free, but the second one costs 100,000 yuan. You also exchange it with something worth 100,000 yuan.”

Roco used his fingers to state the price.

“100,000?”

Thanos’ eyebrows twitched as he thought about it.

Although he had knowledge about money, he didn’t know which currency Roco was stating the price in.

He stopped thinking, and snapped.

Da!

With a crisp sound, the space was distorted.

A huge throne, styled as from a science-fiction, appeared from space. It was floating in the air.

[Floating Throne – The exclusive throne of Thanos. It is equipped with offensive weapons and is able to cross the Milky Way. In a sense, this is a warship that embodies the crystallization of the entire eternal race of science.]

“This throne is enough to exchange for several jars.”

“En…..”

A moment of rare silence transpired, and Roco’s face twitched.

“Thanos didn’t bring anything back in the garden, did he?”

There was not even a decoration on this planet.

As if he were aware of Roco’s thoughts, Thanos put his hand on the back of his head and laughed. He said, “This throne has followed me for many years. It’s more convenient and less demanding than the Infinity Gauntlet, even though the latter could let me cross galaxies.”

“But, you are still going to sell it?”

Roco was shocked and stared at his big eyes.

The value of something like Thanos’ throne was immeasurable.

Not only did the throne spanned across galaxies, but it also contained Thanos’ vast scientific knowledge.

Even going by the simplest conversion rates, the throne could still be exchanged for several resourceful planets.

…

Thanos sensed the surprise in Roco’s voice. He slowly raised his head and looked at the sun.

“I think I don’t need these anymore.” Thanos looked at Roco in a serious manner. “I hope what you said before is true if you can really revive my daughter, not to mention this floating throne, even if…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but the dying old man raised his hand slowly and revealed a crimson glove covered in beautiful colors.

“Gollum”

Roco unintentionally swallowed back his saliva. He was shocked.

“This guy!”

“You know my intention to not let the stones fall in this world. I believe that if I give it to you, it won’t fall in the hands of others.”

“That’s for sure. I will never give it away.”

As if he had taken a pledge or made a promise, Roco’s eyes became full of warmth.

The Infinity Gauntlet was his greatest aim.

Now that its owner had made such a promise, how could he step back?

Moreover, he wasn’t lying, he would never give it away.

It was not a joke.

It was a belief that not only Roco had, but also one that Thanos was sure of.

Because, no one could realize the mysterious hidden power around this young man more than Thanos himself.

No laws could be violated. It was all that mattered.

And, more importantly, Thanos saw …

He had observed that the young man had gotten a little stronger than before when he walked out of the thatched hut.

Although the increase was insignificant in front of his power, it was enough for him.

The existence of such a giant was destined to grow into someone strong enough to protect the ‘Infinity Gauntlet’.

….

Soon after that, when the system finished its evaluation, Roco gave Thanos a definite number.

“Nine jars, but it will be given in three days.”

“Only nine?”

His eyes narrowed and Thanos glanced suspiciously at Roco.

Even though he didn’t know what those 100,000 Yuan that the young man had spoken of were, he couldn’t believe that his precious floating throne was only worth nine jars.

Obviously, he was unsatisfied at the appraisal.

Roco was helpless towards it. He sighed and said,

“As you can see, everything in these jars is priceless. But I am also a businessman and have faced many creatures. I can’t give these jars to only one person, so every other jar is ten times more expensive than the previous one.”

As he spoke, the look on his face turned serious. In a low voice he said.

“I am also trying to avoid a unilateral monopoly. But the good news is that the price will reset in a year’s time.”

“Not a bad strategy.”

As Roco had said, every jar was priceless.

This was pretty clear if one thought about what was in the first jar.

Especially the one called ‘Wooden Member’ Ninjutsu.

That technique alone could make an existence at his level more powerful in mere minutes.

It was unbelievable

His mind became clear and Thanos grabbed one of the jars from the ground without any hesitation.

Clack!

A crisp sound generated and a golden light appeared.
