Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

Ais nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hey, you know what? Ah, then this clan must be very powerful."

"Amazing! Of course it's amazing, Lefiya. After all, there's a very powerful guy in that clan, just like Argo."

At this time, the Amazon sister Tiona walked forward, hugged Ai Si's arm, and looked at Lefiya.

"Hey, isn't that right, Ais?"

"Ah."

Ai Si nodded slightly, a serious and solemn look on her pretty face.

Such an expression naturally shocked Lefiya.

It was almost the first time she saw Ais with such a serious expression.

Could it be that the man similar to Argo that Diona mentioned is really that powerful?

At this time, even Tione who was standing beside him rarely spoke up and praised.

"Ah, he's indeed a very capable pharmacist. No, I should say he's a prop maker."

"You know, even Bert was defeated head-on by that guy."

"Unfortunately, the battle was over so quickly that I didn't even get to see what happened at 120."

"But one thing is for sure, that Merlin is very powerful!"

Tione puffed out her full chest and didn't hesitate to give the praise.

They, the Amazon warriors, have a natural respect for the strong.

Especially since the opponent is a pharmacist, he has the ability to defeat a LV5 first-level adventurer head-on.

How could she not respect such a person?

The consecutive words of praise from three people naturally made Lefiya feel very curious and surprised.

The conversation between the few people naturally aroused the curiosity of the others.

One of the elves, who had the same blond hair as Lefiya, looked at them curiously.

"He's just a pharmacist, but he possesses the strength comparable to a first-level adventurer. This is truly astonishing."

"Oh, what's going on, Alicia? Are you curious about Argo too?"

Tiona raised the corner of her mouth slightly, poked the blond elf's chest gently and said.

"Well, it's only natural for even Ais and the man you guys praise so highly to be curious."

"And maybe… well, nothing."

Alicia said this and shook her head slightly, suppressing the expectation in her heart.

In fact, she had been stuck at LV4 for a long time and had been looking for an opportunity to break through.

Perhaps right now is an opportunity.

Chapter 112: Is 20% the year-end rate considered low?

In the conference hall.

Lily is negotiating with Finn about aid supplies.

Among them, the names of the various props on the supply list made Finn a little confused.

Because even with his experience, he couldn't judge the purpose of those props directly from the names.

"Miss Lily, this explosive ball, could it be a prop that can produce explosions?"

Finn asked, pointing to the second item on the supply list.

"This explosive ball has the effect of instantly exploding, releasing a large amount of heat and flames. Its power is roughly equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Level 2 adventurer, and the flames are not so easy to extinguish."

"If you want to be specific, why not test it, Master Finn, what do you think?"

At this time, the ways of dealing with the world that Lily had honed in various adventurer teams came into play.

She knew very well that the other party would not be able to know the value of the props before seeing its effect.

That's why Lily made this suggestion.

"Ah okay."

Finn also understood that he would not waste money before seeing real results.

Soon they arrived at the training ground inside the base.

In the empty training ground, Lily threw the explosive ball in her hand directly towards the open space in the distance.

"Oh!"

As the explosive ball exploded, a flash of fire appeared, followed by a large amount of flames spreading from it, covering an area with a diameter of three meters.

And in that place, the flames were even burning on the ground.

The power surprised Finn and Livilia who was further away.

"If this kind of power can be applied over a large area, it can indeed produce astonishing effects."

Finn analyzed, rubbing his chin.

"If you're surrounded by a large number of monsters, you can use this to break through."

"So, how much of this explosive ball can we provide?"

After analyzing the effects and uses of the explosive ball, Finn immediately looked at Lily and asked.

Lily held up three fingers.

"Thirty."

Finn raised his brows slightly. "If there are thirty, then it's not bad to use them in specific situations as a life-saving trump card."

But as soon as Finn finished speaking, Lily shook her head.

"Lord Finn, it's not thirty, it's three hundred."

"Master Merlin said that this is all we can prepare for the next two days."

After Lily finished speaking, the air fell silent for a moment.

Finn's mouth dropped open, unsure of what to say.

And Livilia, who was further away, also had a look of surprise on her face.

What shocked her was that Merlin was able to prepare such a large number of explosive balls in just two days.

Such efficiency can only be described as terrifying.

"Well, I see."

"If you can provide 300, then we'll take them all!"

Finn was a man who had seen all kinds of storms, so he quickly calmed down and took everything.

After all, if so many explosive balls could arm both the first and second teams, it would be a huge improvement.

And this is just right, in line with the goal of using funds where they are needed most.

"Really? That's great. By the way, Master Finn, would you like to take a look at these other props?"

"And the effect is definitely better than the explosive ball."

Lily naturally would not miss such a good opportunity and immediately started selling the remaining props.

And Livilia, who was further away, looked at the two people who were discussing very heatedly, and a trace of worry and tension flashed through her heart.

You know, Loki's family doesn't have much money now.

If I buy a large number of props at once, I might end up... accumulating a huge foreign debt.

Well, actually, we are already in debt now.

But... I can't persuade him anymore.

Livilia sighed softly.

Having been with Finn for so many years, she naturally knew very well that Finn would probably not let go of this opportunity.

Even if it means that the entire family will be burdened with debt, they will still purchase those items.

At this time, Livilia could only pray that Finn could still maintain some rationality and not get completely carried away and take too many things.

By then, even if the expedition is over, it will probably take a long time to pay off the debt.

An hour later, Lily left the Loki clan's base.

After she left, Livilia immediately came to Finn and asked directly.

"Finn, you're not going to sell out your entire clan, are you?"

"How much do you plan to spend on those props?"

"You know, I still haven't paid back the 20 million Faris I owed for the Almighty Potion."

Livilia couldn't help but remind.

"Well, I know. It's because those foreign debts can't be repaid in one go."

"So, I chose to take a gamble."

Finn nodded slightly and answered seriously.

"This time, our exploration of the fifty-seventh floor must succeed, failure is not allowed."

"For this, we can only take this one chance!"

"Each of the items Merlin provides is a rare item. If used well, they can directly change the situation of the battle."

"It would be a shame to let it go."

Finn spread his hands and explained.

"Ah, I know all this, so...how much did you spend?"

Livilia asked the most realistic question.

"Yes, five hundred million."

Finn rubbed his chin and replied a little sheepishly.

After the words fell, Livilia held her forehead with her hand, completely speechless.

"Not... 500 million??"

"Finn, how much stuff did you buy?"

“…I want them all.”

Finn replied with a wry smile.

"I can't let go of those things. Each one is like a temptation and trial given to me by the gods. I can't resist it at all."

"With this batch of supplies, the 57th Floor will definitely be able to successfully carry out the expedition. The Guild will also provide a certain amount of compensation. The foreign debt may not be offset immediately, but it can be resolved with some time."

"And if we take the 57th floor, both this year and the progress of Mingliang can be completed ahead of schedule."

Finn said, a strong glint of determination in his eyes.

"By then, our Loki clan's fame will be even greater!"

"Hmm... But, 500 million. Even if we get some rare materials on the 57th floor, we might not be able to pay it back immediately."

Livilia was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, they've already provided a repayment plan. They've given us a very generous discount, allowing us to repay the loan slowly, even extending it to ten years."

"The annual interest rate is only 20 percent."

"Twenty percent?"

After hearing this, Livilia was slightly surprised, touched her chin and nodded.

"Well, this interest rate is indeed quite low. It seems that young Merlin really did us a great favor."
