Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 117

"F-for the quality and preservation state..." Jessy smiled brightly, "I can offer you 3 bright bronze crystals for each one, fifteen total!"

"Fifteen?!" the three friends exclaimed in unison.

"Seems good," Ren nodded while his mushrooms pulsed with satisfaction.

While Jessy prepared the payment, the others couldn’t stop staring at the crystals with envy... The lucky bastard had five more plates in the room, not to mention the eggs and who knows how much more among his fortunate acquisitions...

While his friends were still processing the figure, Ren pulled out a list.

"I also need some materials," he said casually.

"Oh?" Jessy took the list. "What are you looking for?"

"Speed and elemental control runes," Ren began. "And these components..."

Jessy’s eyes widened while reading the list. "These are... unusual combinations. The runes are usually the most expensive parts of cultivation..."

"How much for everything?"

"Ten thousand for the speed rune, fifteen thousand for the elemental control one and with the materials you want... T-thirty thousand," Jessy stuttered. "But I could look for more economical alternatives..."

’It’s almost exactly the calculation I had,’ thought Ren. ’The cultivation materials for the mantis for 10 days are cheap, no more than 500 crystals, 1000 for the rune guide solution, but the iron wolverine ones are quite expensive, they must be popular among royalty and high-rank nobility...’

"Use my credits, should be just enough," Ren said.

"Credits just enough?!" the three friends exclaimed in unison.

"Next stop," Ren announced after saying goodbye to Jessy, "the bank."

♢♢♢♢

At the bank, Finch was polishing his spectacles when they saw the group enter.

"Theodore!" Finch’s high-pitched voice greeted them. "Prepare the withdrawal forms! Look who’s come to visit us! Our mysterious fungus magnate!"

The small white mouse sighed, pulling out the corresponding papers.

"How much will it be this time?" Finch smiled sympathetically. "Five thousand for the month’s expenses? Your third month report was only ten thousand, still quite impressive for that beast, but you’ll spend your luck very soon if you squander it like it’s..."

"Actually," Ren interrupted, "I’m here to make a deposit."

Finch blinked. "Deposit? But you just turned in your last report..."

Ren placed 10 bright bronze crystals on the counter.

Finch’s mustache trembled violently. "This is... one hundred thousand?"

"Look, I have 5 more here... And wait until they double it in the 4th month report," Ren added with a wide smile.

Theodore dropped the forms.

"In cash!" Finch squealed. "Theodore! Our magnate has returned! And more magnate than ever!"

The mouse began counting frantically while Finch circled around the counter.

"Let me see," Finch adjusted his spectacles. "With the previous hundred thousand, plus the ten thousand from the third month, plus what’s doubled from the third month’s report... you’ve already gathered 220,000 crystals total in 3 months!"

For the 3rd month Ren had ’only’ managed to obtain 10 thousand crystals from the mines.

Ren’s friends stared at him open-mouthed.

"Where did you get so much?"

"Just sold some normal materials," Ren laughed.

"Ha! Normal? Fifteen bright bronze crystals! Theodore, remember when fifteen bronze crystals was our annual budget?"

The mouse nodded solemnly while beginning to count.

"Though..." Finch narrowed his eyes when Ren pocketed the other five crystals. "Not depositing everything? Does the fungus magnate need cash for minor expenses?"

"It’s for a project," Ren responded vaguely.

"Project?" Finch’s eyes enlarged behind his glasses. "What kind of project requires 50,000 crystals in cash? Are you building a mushroom palace?"

"Nests," Ren smiled.
