Chapter 156 Orange Deals
"A hundred—no, five hundred crystal cores per orange, though I know even that is still far too low. The institute simply doesn't have enough cores to offer more. If that doesn't satisfy you, we could sign a contract, and you would receive half of any future re
The oranges for the Safe Zone Commander's Office wouldn't primarily be for eating. They'd serve as impressive offerings when hosting guests from other safe zones. The Pyeongseong Safe Zone was always subtly looked down upon by visitors, and despite the disdain, they still had to smile and act courteously, especially since they occasionally needed assistance from others.
The thought of such moments made Jang Dojang uncomfortable, though he hadn't found any other way to push back.
But with these oranges…
Just imagine—if others tried to make backhanded comments about the Pyeongseong Safe Zone's lack of prosperity or progress, they could casually serve a plate of these oranges with a simple, "Pardon our humble offerings; we may not have much in Pyeongseong Safe Zone, but our oranges are quite tasty."
Just picturing the look on their faces made Jang Dojang feel delighted.

How could he put it? It defied everything he'd expected.
In Kim Haru's memories, a fruit vendor would typically offer a wholesale discount to organizations or groups that placed steady, long-term orders—generally below market price. One side sought to pay less and bargained, while the other side tried to secure a steady buyer by reducing prices.
But here? Everyone seemed to be bidding for higher prices!
Kim Haru wasn't greedy. "How many would you like?"
Jang Dojang resisted the urge to say, "As many as possible," and, after calculating the usage frequency for the Safe Zone Commander's Office, replied, "Let's match the research institute's order—one hundred per month."
Kim Haru agreed.
