Chapter 2: Let's open the Jar!

"Thank you again for your assistance."

Cale smiled again and thanked Tsunade, looking polite and improving his impression.

He didn't want some minor issue to cause the deal to fall through before it even started.

The level of self-control Cale had was remarkable.

"No need for thanks, just bring the money."

Tsunami held out his palm upside down, "One hundred thousand."

'100,000?'

The corners of Cale's eyes twitched a little.

'It's shady.'

One hundred thousand currency in this world is roughly around six thousand trading points in the system, it should also be equivalent to $6,000.

However, he knew his body well enough to know that he was only in a brief fainting

spell because of the crossing, and the so-called "crossing protection time", so even if Tsunade did nothing, he wouldn't be harmed before he woke up.

In that case, trading would be even less of a burden on the mind.

"I'm really sorry, I'm in no shape or form right now, but, I do have some merchandise."

Cale took out a scroll from behind him, then opened it up with a light bang.

Ten black, unmistakable cans appeared in front of him. They were thirty trading points each.

With this one scroll of sealing jutsu, the cost was seven hundred trade points in total. The purchase of the scroll was a necessity, to not arouse any suspicious, at least no more than already.

"Hm?"

Tsunade was a little surprised that Cale had the sealing scroll on him, but she didn't care too much, and after taking a look, she revealed a disgusted look, "A clay pot?"

Pottery pots can be worth a few bucks.

"These aren't ordinary clay pots." Cale still kept his smile, "Each clay pot is worth fifty thousand."

"Fifty thousand?"

Tsunade had a look on her face, like she was being lied to.

She could see at a glance that these were clearly just some ordinary clay pots.

"What's valuable is not the clay pot itself, but what's inside it." Cale explained with a mysterious smile, "Does Miss know about the lottery? These are very similar to that, except that there isn't just money inside the jar, there are also items that are worth less than fifty thousand, and items that are far more than even several times that."

That was the bet.

There was no way to know what's inside until you opened the can.

After you purchased it, you may be facing a loss, or you may be raking profit.

Not surprisingly, the good gambling addict Tsunade did get some interest after hearing this.

"How do I know that there will really be things in there that are worth more than several times as much as you say? What if it's going to be all useless, cheap stuff?"

She had a glass in one hand, pressed into her lap, and leaned forward with an excited look in her eyes that almost had the words "I'm interested" written on her face.

Shizune standing next to her appeared a little ashamed.

'Tsunada sama is really…'

"If you don't believe me, you can buy them all, and jars worth several times more will definitely appear, but you will definitely lose some money overall."

Cale knew that the other party had already taken the bait, so he smiled confidently, "I'm not in the favor of business that are one-shot deals, and those who make a profit will buy again next time."

"You do have a good head for business." Tsunade complimented, and she had figured it out.

This kind of pot, indeed, was like the lottery, and without such small odds, had no less appeal to a good gambler.

"These jars are not made by me, and I only buy them and sell them." Cale shook his head, this was to take himself out.

Tsunade nodded, after all, Cale was an ordinary person in his eyes, so naturally, there was no way he could create such a scroll that required a sealing jutsu to make it.

She put down her glass and got excited.

"I can take two?"

"Yes, as a medical fee."

Cale nodded, then gestured to the ten jars in front of him, "They cannot be touched, nor can they be returned after opening."

Inside these ten jars, there was nothing, at least there's nothing right now.

He wasn't worried about Tsunade cheating with jutsu or chakra or anything and finding out that fact though, being the legendary gambler, that thrill of gambling was still there.

"Well…"

Tsunade's eyes scanned over the ten cans, which really looked identical in appearance, and couldn't be touched, which meant there was no way to tell anything from the weight.

"I choose you!"

Reaching over, she took one of the cans and snapped it, slapping it whole.

'That was close!'

Some cold sweat appeared on top of Cale's forehead at once.He almost didn't react to redeem the item in.

"It's money, ten thousand?"

Tsunade instantly looked disappointed, after all, Cale had said before that they were worth fifty thousand each.

This was equivalent of trading 50,000 for 10,000. A big loss.

But the disappointment did not last for long, losing the bet was more than normal for her, and it was supposed to be free in the first place, she did not do any treatment on Cale at all, it was merely just a check up.

The next one was taken very casually and after much deliberation.

This was a relief to Cale who was watching closely as he has enough time to react and then redeem the item in.

'This one.'

It was the real bait he prepared to reel in the big fish a.k.a. Tsunade.

"A small bottle?"

Tsunade was a little curious when she saw it wasn't money.

"Congratulations." Cale immediately gave a congratulatory and envious smile, "This is a very valuable item — the water of life worth fifty thousand."

Yes, this was the real water of life.

Cale was redeeming the Fountain from Pirates of the Caribbean, having completed the ritual, and drinking it would give an extra three days of life to an ordinary person.

It's value was six hundred trading points which when translated into the currency of this world was just under 10,000.

Yet Cale had no problem saying it as fifty thousand.

The value of an item coulf change with the preconditions.

How do one makes profit if one doesn't go in the dark?

Tsunade opened the bottle, sniffed it, and shook it again, a flash of anger in her eyes.

"Is this ordinary water, worth fifty thousand?"

Looking at Cale, her gaze was a bit dangerous. She didn't mind losing the bet, but if she was cheated… She made sure that she would show this person how the name Three Sannin came to be.

"This is not ordinary water."

Cale shook his head and said with a straight face, "When we do business. This bottle of water of life is enough to make an ordinary old man who is approaching the end of his life span and dying frequently, live for three more days. If you don't believe me, you should be able to feel it with a small sip."

"Oh?" Tsunade didn't instantly disagree.

Keeping frequently dying old people alive for a few more days, she could do that too, and do it with ease.

After all, she was the medical ninja who said "no disease is incurable".

However, she did not see half a trace of the ingredients of the herb in this bottle of water.

She couldn't help but sneer, the man probably didn't know who she was.

Picking up the bottle, she drank half of it down without a care in the world, not worrying about poison or hallucinogenic drugs.

Then…

The pupils of her eyes contracted slightly.

"This is…What?"

She felt an unusually pure life force flowing throughout her body from an unknown place.

Though it was said to be weak to her, the purity was unheard of, almost as if it was originally her own life force, and because she was a super high medical ninja herself and possessed a jutsu that utilized life force, it was extraordinarily shocking to her.

The effects described by the man in front of her were true. One bottle would indeed manage to get three extra days of life for any patient. It were three days after even the patient would be nearing end.

If it was for someone who was seriously injured and almost dying, this vial would be a life-saving potion that could drag out a cure!

50,000 is not only worth it, but also too cheap!
