Chapter 784 Bargaining
...
"I'm so sorry, but we really can't afford that much money right now! Alas..."
Amway IX was silent for a long time before he spoke with difficulty. His voice became smaller and smaller, until it was as soft as a mosquito and could not be heard at all.
"Damn it, is that too much? I didn't even dare to ask for 20 billion Baileys..."
Nami put her hands on her hips, looked up and down at the "king" who was covered in dust and looked like a refugee, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Well... never mind. It seems like you really can't afford 200 million Baileys. Since you love your people so much, we'll just do it with reluctance..."
"Thanks…"
Before the king could thank him, the little girl smiled and raised a finger and continued.
"I'll give you a discount! How about 100 million Beli? You only need to pay 100 million Beli to end the drought in this country, and the people will no longer have to endure the torture of the drought climate! How about it? It's a good deal, right?"
"This... 100 million is indeed a fair price, but..."
An Li IX's face was filled with shame, and his eyes dimmed even more.
"Hoo ho ho!"
Hareda on the side said with a smile.
"It seems you're not very good at negotiating, Nami-chan."
"Damn it! It's not that I don't know how to negotiate the price, it's that they are too poor!"
Nami was a little unhappy when she heard that.
"If you can, then come and talk to him?"
"Okay, what's so difficult about this?"
Hareda stroked his beard calmly, turned to look at Amway IX and asked seriously.
"Hello, Your Majesty, since you can't come up with 1 million berries, how about berries?"
"Huh? 100 Baileys?"
Amway IX was stunned, and everyone present was shocked by the little old man's sudden "self-inflicted wound".
"Wow, is the price too high?! How about 10 Baileys? 1 Bailey? 1 Bailey should be available, right?"
"No! Deal! We're willing to pay 100 Baileys! You don't have to lower the price any more!"
An Li IX reacted and shouted loudly.
"Wow! That's great!"
Hareda laughed happily, then turned back to look at Nami with a smug look on his face.
"Look, isn't this a done deal?"
"boom!"
"Ouch! Why did you hit me!"
Before Harada could finish his words, Nami hit him hard on the head with a knife.
"Idiot! You are the one who really doesn't know how to negotiate, right? Who would lower the price from 100 million Baileys to Baileys right from the start?"
Nami scratched her head frantically.
"Mr. Khareda, on behalf of all the people of our country, I thank you for your help!"
Fearing that the other party would go back on his word, Amway IX hurriedly shook Hareda's hand again and expressed his gratitude.
"Ahhh, seriously, never mind you, I really don't know how you earned the research funding before!"
Although she missed a good opportunity to make a fortune, Nami, who was kind-hearted, only muttered to herself and did not try to stop Hareda from bringing free rain to this country that had been suffering from drought for a long time.
"Oh, don't worry, little Nami. Actually, every time we encounter a country that really can't afford to pay, the cost of improving the climate is borne by the Bra Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the funds we earn can be exchanged for the required supplies online through their channels, and there is also door-to-door delivery service, which is very convenient."
"What? There is such a thing?"
Nami and the king beside her both showed surprised expressions.
"Why are they doing this?"
Hareda scratched his head.
"I don't know about that. Maybe it's because they are rich and good people."
"Idiot! How could anyone think they have too much money? They must have some other purpose!"
Nami, who values money more than anything else, finds it difficult to understand the Bra Chamber of Commerce's charity work.
"No! Although I have never met President Mosan of the Bra Chamber of Commerce, I have heard of him a long time ago. Over the years, countless countries have received their help!"
Amway IX said seriously.
"Since His Majesty the King also knows about the Bra Chamber of Commerce, it will be easy. Please cooperate with me later and help me sign and stamp it so that we can make a reimbursement voucher."
Hareda calmly took out a roll of thousand-year-old paper from his arms and smiled.
"Okay, okay, no problem!"
There was no reason for Amway IX to refuse such a good thing that fell from the sky.
After that, Hareda took out a bunch of props and began to use Visalia's climate science with the help of Nami.
Soon, a thick layer of black clouds appeared in the sky. People who had suffered from drought for a long time stood on the dry land, looked up, with expectation and hope in their eyes.
"Tick!"
The first drop of rain fell quietly and landed on the forehead of a little boy.
"Rain! It's raining! It's really raining!"
The boy touched his forehead and showed the wetness in his hands to the adults around him with great surprise.
"Tick tock!"
More raindrops fell like pearls, sparse at first, then gradually dense, and finally turned into a downpour, fully nourishing the long-awaited earth.
"Hoohoho!"
The crowd burst into hysterical cheers, everyone's face was filled with crazy, indescribable joy. They opened their arms and waved them wildly in the rain, letting the rain soak their clothes.
Amway IX had a silly smile on his face, caught a handful of rain water mixed with yellow mud with both hands and put it into his mouth.
A timely rain sponsored by the Bura Chamber of Commerce has given the once drought-stricken country a fresh start.

grand line
Boeing Islands
These are several islands that bloom like flowers in the sea.
The Temptation Forest in the center of the island is full of plants that bring tempting food with them, such as pasta grass, hamburger fruit, sausage fruit, as well as the spectacular ramen waterfall and chocolate mountain. It is simply a paradise for foodies.
However, as the saying goes, there is no free lunch without a gun. The Forest of Temptation is also full of dangers. Not only are there countless strange and ferocious carnivorous plants growing here, but even the Stomach Baron of the island itself is actually a super giant carnivorous plant.
The delicious foods that are readily available on the island are all traps. The Baron of Stomach relies on the aroma of these foods to attract sea beasts and sea kings. There is a huge abyss mouth in the center of the island. Whenever the Baron needs to eat, he will open his mouth wide and close all the "petals" to pour all the fattened prey on the island into his mouth.
So the Forest of Temptation is also called the Robber Forest.
"Rumble~~!"
A round "long-nosed fat pig" jumped out of the woods.
"Hey! What do you want to do again? Usopp? It's very dangerous for you to run in the jungle at your size!"
The beetle superman Hercules who was chasing behind shouted loudly.
Because of his uncontrolled overeating during this period, Usopp is experiencing the darkest moment of his life. He has become as fat as a pig and looks a little funny.
"I can't go on like this! I'm going to exercise and lose weight!"
Usopp's mouth was squeezed by the fat on his face, and his speech was a little unclear.
"Huh?! Exercise? That sounds great!"
"Then get stronger! Get stronger! If you don't do that, you won't be able to leave this island!"
Usopp's expression was firm.
Wait for me, Luffy! In order for you to become the Pirate King, I will also become the real Sniper King Usopp! Aa ...
"Wow! You're really full of energy, Usopp! I saw you trying so hard to leave here right away, so I was going to tell you another way."
Hercules gave a thumbs-up in approval.
"What? Is there a way to get out of here?"
"boom!"
Usopp was about to stop when he heard this, but suddenly he heard a gunshot!
"Danger!!"
At the critical moment, Usopp instinctively shrank his neck.
"Whoosh!"
The bullet came from the side and grazed the tip of his nose like a struck match, and Usopp's indomitable long nose was injured again.
"Ah! It hurts so much! Who dares to attack Captain Usopp who has 8,000 men under his command!"
Usopp cursed while holding his burning nose.
"Swish..."
The surrounding bushes began to shake at the same time, and soon hundreds or thousands of soldiers wearing uniform combat uniforms and with serious expressions came out.
"Is it a human? I thought it was a wild boar?"
"Be careful, the other side has 8,000 men! We only have 1,000 men. To be on the safe side, should we call for backup first?"
"Damn it! When! Island No. 3 was occupied by the enemy right under our noses? This is a huge dereliction of duty! We must take it back immediately!"
"Ah, what is this?"
Seeing the muzzles of hundreds of guns around him all pointed at his head, Usopp was so scared that his face showed up. He quickly raised his hands to show surrender.

(People always realize how important health is only when they get sick. I have been honest and started exercising and learning Chinese medicine to take care of my body.
Long time no see, let me first report to you all that I am safe and sound, and wish you all good health.)
