The World of Deities

Su Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the exquisite cutlery. The dwarves were indeed skilful. It was exactly the same as he had imagined.

However, the dwarves were rather contemptuous about these things. They thought that while they were quite beautiful, they were too flashy to be practical. It was better to eat with their hands.

Niedern, on the other hand, liked them very much. He very much approved of Su Ye’s invention. He believed that this kind of cutlery would definitely change the whole world.

The Dwarves did not stop mocking Niedern.

However, the pure silver cutlery was too soft. Therefore, Su Ye, Niedern, and the dwarves improved it overnight. It was not until early in the morning that they decided on the basic plan.

The new cutlery was divided into four grades.

The luxury grade magic gold cutlery was mainly made of gold. It was mixed with the lowest level of magic metal to make the cutlery harder. It was also engraved with magic patterns that enhanced it simply.

A set of a knife, fork, spoon, dessert fork and dessert spoon costs 150 gold eagles to make. It was sold at 1999 gold eagles. It was limited, marked with a serial number, and came with a collection certificate.

After Su Ye told them of his idea, the honest dwarves unanimously believed that Su Ye had the bloodline of the Devil.

The high-grade magic silver cutlery was mixed with a little metal to make the cutlery hard. At the same time, it was treated with simple magic to ensure that the cutlery was durable.

One set cost 10 gold eagles to make and was priced at 29.

The low-end set was bronze cutlery. It only had three pieces and was mainly supplied to the public.

One set cost 90 bronze owls to make and was priced at 2 silver peacocks.

Other than that, they would also make lower-end wooden spoons, wooden forks, and other ultra-low-end products. However, they were ranked very low in the plan.

In order to raise brand awareness, Su Ye proposed carving a simple portrait of Plato on the cutlery. However, after the people from the Chamber of Commerce asked, they were rejected by Plato himself.

Therefore, Su Ye redesigned the trademark and changed it into a dragon head with a simple drawing, which won the unanimous approval of everyone.

Su Ye had not decided on the name of the Chamber of Commerce, but he had already decided on the brand of the tableware series and named it “The beautiful objects of the giant dragon”.

The Sun had just risen, and the process of making tableware was basically finalized. A batch of tableware would be produced in the near future, and when the restaurants in the noble district opened, production would be accelerated according to market demand.

Su Ye and Niedern walked out of the workshop, and the morning light fell on their faces.

“You will be a millionaire in the future,” Niedern said with a sigh.

He roughly calculated the demand in Athens. The first year’s net profit would not be less than 50,000 gold eagles. In the future, it might decrease year by year, but no matter how bad it was, there would still be a net profit of over 10,000 gold eagles every year. If other city-states and even other countries were included, He would not even dare to think about it.

No wonder Su Ye was determined to seek the protection of a great noble. Such a profitable business was enough to attract the envy of hero families.

“Teacher, you have such great foresight. It’s much better than those short-sighted dwarves,” Su Ye said.

“Give me a set of golden cutlery.”

Su Ye curled his lips and said, “I can’t afford it. But I can give you a set of silver cutlery.”

The total worth of all of Su Ye’s possessions was not even 1999 gold eagles.

“Ten sets,” Niedern said.

“Three sets,” Su Ye said.

“Three sets then, stingy!”

Looking at Niedern’s back, Su Ye’s mind was in a mess.

In the following days, Su Ye returned to his favorite study time.

He used most of the time to study and make up for the lessons from the previous semester.

He put in his full effort in the most important magic-related lessons.

For the ordinary but important lessons, he was fine as long as he passed.

For the unimportant lessons, Su Ye intended to only prepare, listen, revise, and do homework. As for his scores, it was up to fate.

The more he studied, the more Su Ye felt that the academy was not training all-round talents, but rather allowing the students to make their own choices.

Apart from attending classes, Su Ye would occasionally stroll around the Dwarven workshop to learn about the abilities and skills of the dwarves to make preparations for the future while constantly improving his cutlery.

During this period, he met Kelton a few times. He was also busy, subletting a silver mine from someone else. Because the silver mines in Athens belonged to the city-state, it could only be rented and not owned. The demigod family was an exception. He also reached a separate supply agreement with the Dwarven workshop. Any silver ore needed by the new Chamber of Commerce would be purchased first from Kelton’s mine.

However, the second noble had always been difficult to find. Moreover, choosing the location of restaurants in the noble area was also a big problem.

In the noble area, each inch of land was worth an inch of gold. A restaurant in the noble area as big as the Dolphin River would cost at least ten thousand gold eagles. Furthermore, it was very difficult to buy it.

While waiting for Kelton, Su Ye did not forget to develop his ruins plane apart from learning and practicing magic.

In fact, he had started to study it a few days after school started.

The result was unbelievable.

The ruins plane, even if it was not an altar, could be considered a divine artefact.

The ruins plane could not accept living things, which meant that the ruins plane had the effect of killing parasites.

When fresh meat and vegetables were put in it, there would be no change to them after a long time. Even the dust on it would disappear inexplicably.

This meant that the ruins plane also had the magical effect of sterilizing, removing dust, and self-cleaning.

Not only did it keep the food fresh, but it also kept the food thermally insulated!

Food could be placed inside for several months without its temperature changing. What was hot was still hot when taken out, and what was cold was still cold when taken out.

Su Ye could put an alarm clock inside, but it would not ring. This meant that time was still.

However, while time inside was still, time was flowing normally outside.

Su Ye determined that the main function of the ruins space was a universal refrigerator.

Therefore, Su Ye spent money to hire a craftsman to build many wooden shelves, which took up half of the space in the ruins.

Then, Su Ye began to buy some daily necessities and send them in, completely treating it as a doomsday storage rooms. His sense of danger was quite strong.

Su Ye even tricked Kelton from time to time. Using the excuse of organizing a feast for his classmates, he asked Kelton to send a large cart of fine wine and dishes.

Because the two of them were not far from each other, when the dishes arrived, they would still be warm. Su Ye sent the dishes, wine, and cutlery into the ruins space. They were arranged neatly so that he could enjoy them when he went out in the future.

They even included roast suckling pig, roast sheep, and other truly luxurious dishes.

Fortunately, the ruins had a smell-proof function, or else he would not be able to enter this place in the future.

Su Ye was still planning to find time to smuggle some things, but he realized that it was too dangerous and would take too long, so he temporarily gave up.

In less than two months, half of the ruins were filled with all kinds of items. Su Ye felt safe.

The greatest quantity was food. He had clothes for all four seasons, including large leather jackets for both men and women, and he had all kinds of daily necessities. He even bought some prohibited military supplies, such as bows and arrows, military crossbows, rare iron weapons, shields, and so on.

Other than feeling safe and preparing for a rainy day, Su Ye’s biggest motivation was that all divine planes couldn’t use storage magic tools, not even demigod-level ones.

Su Ye was prepared to take a gamble. He believed that his ruins could be used in the divine plane.

After two months, Kelton finally found Su Ye, saying that the saint-level warrior backing him had found a hero family with a good reputation and a long history.
