"Ahem, it's you." Ron scratched his nose with his fingers to cover up his embarrassment.
The student brought by Mason has a typical baby face, which looks very tender and makes people feel good about him.
But Ron knows that this guy is not a good guy either. He is still secretly selling Ilya special edition illustration book.
Of course, Ron, who bought the illustration book, is not a good person either...
Mason stood between the two of them with a suspicious look on his face. "Do you know each other?"
This one is an ordinary student in the academy, who was barely promoted to First-Order Mage some time ago.
The other one is Human Empire Seventh Prince, which controls various magical plants. It just became Favored One of the Goddess of Harvest two days ago.
Two people who are incompatible with each other end up knowing each other?
"I was wandering around the college before and happened to see an interesting class, so I went in to listen to it, and I was sitting next to this person." Ron explained, secretly hinting at the baby face with his eyes.
The baby's face immediately showed a true expression and nodded repeatedly.
Ron is afraid that her baby face will reveal that she bought the collector's edition of Ilya. In fact, her baby face is also afraid of being exposed.
Mason is a teaching assistant at the college. If he knew that one of his students was selling this kind of thing privately, why not just kill him?
"You don't know this person's identity, right?" Mason did not doubt the two of them, and introduced the baby face first, "This is Human Empire Seventh Prince, Ron·Andre, His Highness, Elemental Cards was invented by him himself."
Then Mason looked at Ron and introduced him, "This is Gil. Please be promoted to First-Order Mage a few days ago. It is also thanks to your Nether Orchid."
"You two talk slowly and I won't interrupt you."
Mason left the office after finishing speaking, leaving the space to the two of them.
The baby-faced Gil was still a little confused. He looked at Ron blankly and didn't know what to say.
...Seventh Prince?
Is that what Assistant Teacher Mason just said?
Gil twitched his lips, thinking that His Highness Seventh Prince had bought the Ilya collector's edition from him before, he had the urge to roll his eyes.
Ron also looked helpless and waved to Gil: "Come and sit down, let's talk."
Gil sat on the sofa and forgot what he wanted to say for a moment.
He had drafted the plan before, but how could he have thought that the other party had such a high status?
Elemental Cards is popular among the Magic Academy. He thought that the inventor was just a teaching assistant at most. How could he have thought that it was Human Empire Seventh Prince?
Which prince is so idle?
Ron sat opposite Gil. After Mason left, he felt less embarrassed.
"Your father is from the Gem Trade Alliance, so he shouldn't be short of money, right? Why do you still sell things like that?" Ron didn't go directly to the topic, but chatted with him.
"I am a hybrid of goblin and human. I usually don't have much pocket money. I just make some extra money by doing small business." Probably the first impression Ron gave him was not very good, so Gil quickly adjusted his attitude and replied with a shrug.
Ron just realized that Gem Trade Alliance is the power of Goblin Race, and Gil looks obviously closer to humans in appearance.
Especially that baby face is quite confusing.
If Gil hadn't said anything, he really wouldn't have known that this guy had the bloodline of Goblin Race.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Ron leaned on the sofa and changed into a comfortable position, "You want to talk to me about Elemental Cards this time, what are your plans?"
Unexpectedly, this is another miserable mixed-race child. Ron will not expose the scars and plans to get to the main topic of today immediately.
Gil straightened his sitting posture, reorganized his thoughts, coughed twice and said, "Since some time ago, the teaching assistants in the college often get together and don't know what they are doing. Later, some students discovered that they seemed to be playing cards."
"After that, there was a teaching assistant who held this kind of card to teach and showed everyone this thing called Elemental Cards."
"Later, the various ways of playing Elemental Cards were spread from the teaching assistants. Some of the students were more curious, so they tried to make one themselves. As a result, it became unexpectedly popular among the students."
"So I thought, there might be great business opportunities here."
"If Elemental Cards is produced in batches and promoted to a wider market, we should be able to obtain huge profits."
"So, Your Highness Ron, are you interested in this aspect?"
Ron took a sip from the tea cup and did not rush to give an answer. Instead, he asked, "Since the students can imitate Elemental Cards by themselves, you can follow their example and set up your own factory to produce Elemental Cards. There is no need to find me as the inventor, right?"
There is no good protection for copyrights and patents in this other world, and piracy should be very common.
But Gil smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining:
"Ron Your Highness is unaware of something."
"First of all, the students imitated Elemental Cards, just for themselves and their friends to play with, without making any profit. Moreover, the production was crude and the feel was not good."
"Secondly, Elemental Cards came from the teaching assistant, which shows that the inventor of Elemental Cards is at least a magician with status. If possible, I will not provoke a magician unless absolutely necessary."
"Finally, because I am not taken seriously at home, there is not enough funds for me to batch produce Elemental Cards."
"Moreover, even if I really use my family's resources to produce it, once Elemental Cards really becomes popular, this achievement will most likely be snatched away by others."
"So if possible, I definitely hope to find a reliable collaborator who can ensure that the sale of Elemental Cards is in my hands."
Ron touched his chin and looked at him playfully. "So honest? According to what you said, wouldn't it be better for me to go directly to your father or the more favored brother or sister in your family?"
Gil nodded calmly. "Yes, His Highness Ron can indeed do this, but I can guarantee that if you cooperate with me, I am willing to give up my own part of the income."
"There are several caravans in our family that travel between the Bondless Mountains and Human Empire Imperial Capital. If we just use the caravan channel to sell goods, my brother and I have the same rights in this regard."
"Actually, this is my father's test for his children."
"Whoever sells the goods he likes better will be more qualified to inherit the caravan."
"My frank confession to His Highness Ron is a reflection of my sincerity. Even if you go to someone else, the conditions you get will at best be the same as mine, or even not as good as mine."
"Then why waste time?"
Ron put the tea cup on the coffee table and still didn't give an accurate answer.
He asked some more questions.
For example, Gil's views on Elemental Cards, Elemental Cards's future potential, Elemental Cards's promotion plan, etc.
Gil has obviously really thought about these questions carefully and answered them all fluently. It was not a decision made in a flash of the mind.
This made Ron a little surprised.
It felt like the baby-faced person in front of him and the sleazy guy he knew selling illustration books before were completely two different people.
"I'm very satisfied with your sincerity." Ron stood up and said, "However, I can't give you an accurate answer right away. I still need to confirm what you said."
"And the production of Elemental Cards is still in the process of being planned and won't start soon."
"If you really have this plan, you can carefully observe and analyze the prospects of Elemental Cards during this period, and we will talk about it in a few days."
After Ron finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
