Chapter 357 News Spreading like Wildfire

357 News Spreading like Wildfire

Should I say "as expected"?

Not even an hour after the meeting ended, I already received news that the three who were given 300 units of guns each managed to sell them all. Furthermore, they gathered orders for bullets—roughly 1 million rounds in total.

"That's too many..."

We do have some stock of bullets, but that number would dent our inventory significantly. After all, the bullets were made thinking that I, alone, would be using them.

An order is an order, so we had no choice but to comply, or else we might lose our first batch of customers. However, I passed the merchants a note saying that the bullets would be limited to 1,000 rounds per gun every month.

That was already a little too much, in my opinion, since the guns sold to them were all sniper rifles. Firing 1,000 rounds per month would mean they would use up 33 bullets a day. If they have good aim, then that would be equivalent to 33 demons above their levels.

The bullet was priced per piece, roughly 100 credits for each. Meaning that the total order for the day would reach a grand total of 1 billion. Half of that would return to our country's funds, while the other half would be split between ember and the merchants, as discussed.

Of course, if they marked up the price, then the extra dough they made would be theirs to keep. The only thing I warned them of was overpricing, which would disrupt our future plans.

"If we're selling more guns, then we'd need more bullets."

The casing wasn't a problem. With the dwarves' portable bullet shell maker, we can make empty shells faster than we can even use up all of them. The problem was filling up the bullets with energy.

Currently, the guys at the Luo and Seimei who were at rest were handling the filling of energy, but if we want to have a large inventory of bullets ready, then we would need more hands.

"I guess I can ask those girls?"

The Succubus Tamers staying in the Debauchery Hall were technically free all the time. The only time they would move is if I gave them the order or if Ember and the others asked for something from them.

"Wait, we don't have such a department implemented yet."

I scratched my head, adding another item to my extra-long to-do list.

After I had a short breakfast, I went straight to the office at the Royal Capital's Castle. Having the coordinates for this place directly is convenient after all. Since I can just open a portal and come and go directly whenever I want to,.

"Good morning, President Will."

As soon as I landed at the president's office, a few figures were already standing on either side of the walls. The one who greeted me had a familiar face, bowing her head deeply.

"Secretary Yu Na. Good morning to you too."

As I greeted Yu Na, the previous mayor of the capital city and now my secretary, I turned to the rest of those gathered in the room.

Vice President Maximillian Vergil. Prime Minister Luo Meng Yao. Minister of Defense, Karran Helios. Minister of Treasury, Millinda Quartz. Along with a few nominated blue-collared cabinet officials, unfamiliar to me, to handle the bulk of the work.

"Good morning, everyone, and welcome to your first day with your new posts."

I smiled at them, seeing that most of them had nervous looks on their faces. Well, they should be. After all, we're basically starting from scratch.

'I hope they're prepared to go without sleep for a few days straight.'

Now that we have the complete team at hand, it's time to amend the laws of the country!
