Dragon Cypress: "I understand the logic..."
Dragon Cypress: "Snow Velvet Spider King, let's switch to another pricing method—calculate based on the Divine-Given Seed's yield. The Wild Divine-Given Seed I pay you brings an annual yield of about 1.5 million. How about it? You'll recoup your cost in 200 years, everything after is profit."
Snow Velvet Spider King: "..."
Snow Velvet Spider King: "That's a more reasonable calculation, but 1.5 million is too low—3 million? For us Flame Spider Roving Merchants, long-term investments can't have a payback period of more than 100 years."
Dragon Cypress: "This is a once-in-200-years grand deal; you can't measure it by ordinary rules. A 200-year payback is just right."
"..."
Snow Velvet Spider King hesitated for a long while, then said, "I'll take a step back—2.5 million."
Dragon Cypress guessed that Snow Velvet Spider King's true bottom line was probably 2 million.
Dragon Cypress said nothing.
Snow Velvet Spider King also fell silent.
