Chapter 2202: Letting a Great Opportunity Slip (3)
Gege Lu bowed his head, his shoulders trembling vaguely.
He was reluctant to give it up, but he had to.
The guild had to continue; this was his responsibility as the president!
“President! President!” Pipi Ka suddenly rushed into the room anxiously.
Gege Lu, with his back facing Pipi Ka, quickly wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and when he turned around, he was as calm and as dignified as the president should be.
“What are you in such a hurry, Pipi Ka?” Gege Lu asked.
“Outside… Outside…” Pipi Ka seemed to have been greatly stimulated, stuttering while pointing his finger outside the door.
“Speak properly!”
“Aye! I can’t explain it well. President, just come with me and you’ll understand!” Pipi Ka was in a hurry, but he didn’t know how to explain it; hence, he just dragged Gege Lu straight out of the guild’s entrance.
A large number of alchemists gathered in front of the door of the Alchemist Guild. The alchemists of the whole guild had all run out, apparently.
Gege Lu was dragged all the way by Pipi Ka, his head full of confusion. When they arrived outside, he saw so many members did not go to work and instead ran here in a daze. Just as he was about to get mad, he was pushed directly into the crowd by Pipi Ka.
At one glance, Gege Lu froze.
In front of the door of the Alchemist Guild, more than ten wagons full of metals were parked orderly. All kinds of metals were piled up like a mountain, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Gege Lu’s voice was stuck in his throat.
“This… This is…” Gege Lu trembled and stretched out his hand, pointing to the rows of wagons before him.
“You are President Gege Lu, are you not? Could you sign this please and make sure that we have delivered things?” A dwarf jumped out of the wagon and smilingly asked Gege Lu to sign a long list of bills.
“Deliver… Deliver what?” No matter how tough Gege Lu’s heart was, he could not help but be petrified by what he was seeing in front of him.
What do alchemists make? Alchemy products, of course!
What do they need to make alchemy products? That should be metal!
As the president of the guild whose storeroom had bottomed out, Gege Lu was completely dumbstruck by the sudden heap of so many metals.
This was like stuffing a person who had been hungry for several years into a kitchen full of food: the impact was extraordinary!
“Seventeen wagons of common metals, five wagons of rare metals…” The delivery dwarf stared at the bill and named out the metals one by one. He was also a veteran seller of the Puko’s raw materials trading area and had worked with the Alchemist Guild before, but he had never seen the Alchemist Guild buy metals in such a large quantity.
Was it not said that…
The Alchemist Guild was very poor?
How did they suddenly become like a nouveau riche?!
Listening to the series of bills, Gege Lu felt like collapsing.
These quantities were almost comparable to the funding provided by the Dwarf King.
“Are you mistaken? I… I didn’t buy any metal.” Gege Lu used the rationality in his whole body to say this sentence.
They were very short of metal, but… these things that he didn’t know where they had come from, he was afraid to take them.
The delivery dwarf looked at Gege Lu, then looked at the bill again, after which he said with certainty, “I am not. The guest who came to buy these things asked us to send these to the Alchemist Guild. That’s for sure. The signatory even wrote your name as the president.”
