As a result, Heluo scribbled a few strokes, added some adjectives, and the price soared by more than a hundred times.

Luo En frowned as he watched the rapidly forming bill in Heluo’s hand:

“She just got here, did she really eat that much?”

“Of course! Having hurried here all the way from Dwarf Country, not to mention her, Hela and I could eat a whole ox out of hunger.”

Heluo said with a smile, then added slyly with a full face of cunning,

“So, I arranged for her to be in a cellar filled with food and liquor, letting her eat and drink her fill.”

Entrapment?

Luo En suddenly understood, then coughed softly:

“When I went there, she also broke a bottle of wine.”

“Three hundred! No, three thousand Gold Coins!”

Upon hearing this, Heluo excitedly added a few strokes to the paper, piling the compensation up to the lofty sum of ten thousand.

However, as soon as this inflated quote was issued, Luo En looked over gloomily, knitting his brows.

Seeing this, Heluo shrank her neck immediately, swiftly crossed out the last two zeros, and corrected herself with a dry laugh:

“Nonsense!”

Luo En stood up from his chair, visibly enraged,

“That is Asgard’s Immortal Brew gifted to me by Divine King Odin! It contains Wisdom Spring Water from Jotunheim, the Urd Fountain from the Immortal Palace, and wheat from the first divine offering on Heather Island… utterly precious! There’s only one jar like it in all the Nine Great Kingdoms, I can’t even bring myself to drink it. Thirty gold bars wouldn’t cover the cost, the market value is at least thirty carts, and that’s a friendly price, no discount!”

Listening to that indignant declaration, Hela opened her mouth.

If she remembered correctly, that jar of wine was probably brewed by her and Heluo together because it turned sour and no one would drink it, so it was placed in a corner.

However, unlike the more straightforward Hela, the more cunning Heluo caught the underlying message and quickly corrected herself:

“Right, right, I remembered wrong, the friendly price is thirty carts of Gold Coins per jar, no discount!”

But as she was about to write it down, she still hesitated.

It wasn’t that she was having a pang of conscience but rather that she doubted whether those stingy Dwarves would believe such an exorbitant price.

Seeing this, Luo En asked with a playful tone:

“Heluo, do you know what’s most important when trying to sell a product at a high price?”

“Control quality, master the channels?”

Hearing that challenging tone, Heluo subconsciously gave a more traditional response.

But Luo En shook his head, speaking with profound meaning:

“Neither, you need to first learn—how to tell a story. Only when something has a good story does it have the chance to sell for far beyond its cost.”

The unexpected answer caught Heluo by surprise, and then it dawned on her.

Of course!

A jar of soured wine, if valued normally, indeed isn’t worth much, but what if that jar of wine were a testimonial of the friendship between Divine King Odin and his blood brother Loki?

With the passing of time, the shared bond of life and death, and the addition of so many precious ingredients…

Why not thirty carts of gold? It’s really just the cost price!

Or perhaps, are they saying that the friendship between Odin and Loki isn’t worth that sum?

As she thought deeper and deeper, Heluo felt as if a door to a whole new World had opened in her mind, looking with admiration at her cunning old father.

Dad truly deserves to be Dad, so many wicked ideas!

Luo En enjoyed the adoration from his foster daughter, feeling quite pleased with himself.

As times advance, new marketing and packaging ideas represent a dimensional strike against traditional business models.

“Cross out the rest, just let those Dwarves pay for the wine.”

Hearing her father’s reminder, Heluo quickly complied.

Compared to a jar of wine worth thirty carts of gold, the other trivial charges weren’t worth mentioning at all; including them would only lower their status, making it seem as if they were extorting.

“What now?”

“Call your Dwarf friend up here, we still have to face what needs to be faced.”

Luo En replied with a grave tone, his face expressing an air of resign.

As the moment approached, Heluo bit her lip, somewhat troubled:

“Isn’t this a bit too much, after all, she’s a good friend we just made, and she even helped us find our way…”

“Thirty percent…”

“Deal!”

Heluo agreed without a moment’s hesitation, her tone not showing a trace of pause.

After all, that’s nine carts of gold!

As the universal currency of the Nine Great Kingdoms, with its superior magical conduction abilities, almost everyone loves this golden material.

Even a second’s hesitation on her part would be disrespectful to gold and the market!

Soon, Eden was summoned from the cellar.

Seeing her two companions who had been beaten up miserably in the small cabin, the little girl was initially taken aback, then gathering her courage, she timidly pleaded with Luo En, who was scowling in his seat:

“It was my idea to come here, can you please not punish them?”

“I’m punishing them not because they wanted to entertain a friend, but because they dared to bring someone into my wine cellar and even damaged my cherished nectar!”

Luo En clarified with a cold snort, his face showing extreme distress.

Upon hearing this, the kind-hearted little girl immediately took responsibility:

“I did it, I’ll compensate! It’s got nothing to do with them!”

“Forget it, Eden, you can’t afford it.”

Heluo waved her hand despondently to the side, then forced out a tragic smile for her newly acquainted friend,

“Worst case, we’ll just take a beating.”

“How can that be! You’ve been so nice to me, played with me, and treated me to so much delicious food, how can I let you suffer punishment because of me!”

The utterly deceived young girl, puffing out her chest, bravely stepped forward,
