Chapter 310 Getting rich

It had been a couple of hours since Kevin returned to his suite, unable to get any action with either Keyara or her grandma. So, he began sorting through the purchases he made last night.

He had bought 250 kilograms of Replenium for 12,500 Chernos, and he could sell one kilogram for about 300 Omnitokens, almost making all the money back by selling just one kilogram.

"Five times, ten times... How much am I making?" Kevin was shocked as he did the calculations. If he could even sell just half of it, he would have enough to complete several upgrade requirements. And he hadn't even calculated the profit from the Crimson Vein Alloy yet, which cost a whopping 4000 Omnitokens per kilogram, meaning he could sell it for 6000 Omnitokens.

"Damn, 300,000 Chernos per kilogram," he muttered. He had made the same calculation last night but wasn't as excited then as he was now, doing it with a clear mind. With a base price of 500 Chernos, he was making a significant profit, and he just needed to sell a few kilograms to complete all of the system upgrade requirements.

"What vile things are you thinking about now?" Keyara said, her face twisted in disgust as Kevin grinned lecherously at her.

Kevin shook his head, wiping the saliva off his face, and said, "Nah, nothing much," pondering whether he should mention the lucrative opportunity he had stumbled upon.

The Demtia family needed money, and while Kevin wasn't generous enough to simply give it to them despite his relationship with them, he could provide them with a means to earn it.

So coming close to her, almost in a whispering voice, he said, "Actually, there's something pretty cool I found out,", his grin turning into a more excited expression. "Remember when I told you I went out last night?"

"Yeah, and you met your old friend," Keyara said, giving him a slightly strange look at his sudden excitement.

"Yeah, but I also did some shopping, or to be exact, invested some money in a really lucrative product," he said, his excitement growing. Keyara's listening grew a bit concerned as she asked, "Don't tell me you purchased some miracle drug type of things?"

"No, no, nothing like that. I might seem dull, but I'm not that stupid," Kevin said, shaking his head. "I found an ore, to be exact, a self-repairing ore," he said, causing Keyara's eyes to widen.

"Really?" she asked, her voice rising, but as she spoke, her shock lessened. "But what does it matter? We can't afford to buy it."

Kevin smirked, noticing her now slightly deflated expression, and said, "I wouldn't have mentioned it if we couldn't," while pulling a chunk of grayish ore from his space ring and showing it to her.

He then began explaining how he acquired it and the reason why he got it cheap. It wasn't hard as she had also done this type of dealings in past.

"You got it cheap, because the seller doesn't know its properties?" Keyara asked after Kevin's explanation, and he nodded in response to her question, prompting her to ask more questions. "And how did you find out them? From what you told, its self-repairing properties are best shown when it's mixed with other materials, right? How do you know so much about it?"

Kevin smiled at her and said, "I have my ways," not answering her question directly. Keyara wanted to find out more, but she understood that everyone has their secrets, especially cultivators who tend to have a lot of them, which can be life savers. So she didn't insist and instead asked, "So, how much can we sell it for?"

"About 20,000 Chernos to 25,000 Chernos per kilogram," Kevin said, shocking her even more. He didn't tell her the system price because it was always less than the market price, determined by some other criteria he wasn't aware of.

He himself didn't know the real price, as it might be way more inflated than this. With a grin, he continued, "Don't be shocked, you might get even more than that."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go buy it," Keyara said hurriedly as she quickly put on her trousers.

Viana, who had just come out from her room, saw Keyara getting ready in a rush and asked, "Are you two heading out somewhere?"

Kevin nodded with a smile, sparking her curiosity. She pressed further, "Where to?"

"Toward a prosperous future," Keyara replied, grinning, which caught Viana off guard. Before she could ask more questions, Keyara urged her to hurry, saying, "come with us. I'll fill you in on the way."

As they made their way out of the room, Viana followed closely behind, still curious about their plans. Keyara quickly filled her in as they walked through the halls of the ship, explaining what Kevin told her.

Viana's eyes widened in astonishment as she listened, "That's incredible!" she exclaimed, her excitement matching Keyara's.

Kevin grinned, pleased to see Viana's enthusiasm. "Yeah, it's pretty amazing," he agreed.

"You bought it already?" she asked with excitement, and Kevin nodded, saying, "Yeah, about 250 kg."

Her excitement lessened as she heard the amount Kevin had bought, and Kevin, noticing the drop in her enthusiasm, grinned and said, "Don't worry, they have a lot more. Also, I can't go with you as they might get suspicious that I had come to know about the ore's uses. So, you'll have to go alone. Also, don't just buy that ore. I know one or two good ones with good profit margins. Buy them too, just to be safe."

Both women nodded in agreement with Kevin's assessment as he sent them a file about other ores and pointed them toward the shop. "Come meet me back here," he said, noticing their wide smiles and the eagerness practically dripping from them. "And wipe that greedy smile off your faces."

Kevin watched as both women wiped the smiles off their faces, replacing them with more composed expressions. He gave them a nod of approval before they headed off to the shop, their excitement showing clear from their eyes.
