Cave Refuge

After inspecting the exterior of the wooden box, Ye Liuyun gently opened it, revealing a colorless transparent crystal vial situated in the center of a four-colored base, which naturally contained perfume.

The red, purple, black, and yellow crystals were distinctly arranged within the wooden box, but the recess in the middle of the four was precisely cut to fit the crystal vial holding the perfume, seamlessly inlaid within it.

To remove the perfume from the four crystals, one needed to extract the crystals from the box and then separate them before the vial with the perfume could be taken out.

The whole process was quite troublesome, a complication specifically concocted by Dong Tianyu to elevate what he called ’taste’. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Robinson William, watching Ye Liuyun laboring for a good while to extract the crystal vial of perfume from the wooden box, commented with a hint of disdain, "What a hassle."

But Ye Liuyun, upon hearing this, didn’t feel troubled at all, instead, he happily said to Dong Tianyu, "Just by looking at the packaging, I can tell you designed it with great care. Judging from this exterior packaging you designed, aside from lacking an artistic touch, you’ve really put effort into the other aspects.

During this time, getting Dragonblood Wood originating from tropical rainforests is no easy feat, not to mention this inner packaging carved from four-colored crystals.

If we don’t consider any additional value, neither the wooden box of the exterior packaging nor the four-colored crystals of the inner packaging would be cheaper than the perfume inside."

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun’s remarks, Dong Tianyu replied with a touch of annoyance, "But with these enhancements, the added value of the perfume becomes much higher, right?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s quip, Ye Liuyun just chuckled, "Got any samples? Give me a few, and I’ll go to Rylan to ensure I bring back a high price for you."

Dong Tianyu casually reached into his backpack behind him and, when his hand emerged, he held over a dozen vials, each about the size of a sachet of essential oil, filled with perfume samples.

Seeing the glass bottles in Dong Tianyu’s palm, only the size of the top joint of a pinkie finger, Robinson William couldn’t help but sarcastically remark, "I reckon these things can’t even hold an ounce of alcohol. If this were before the cataclysm, the bottles might even be more expensive than the perfume inside."

At Robinson’s unintentionally candid comment, Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun just shared a knowing smile, offering no rebuttal.

Ye Liuyun, after receiving the perfume samples from Dong Tianyu, directly said to Robinson, "Bro, take Old Dong to look at the weapon models. I’ll be back from Rylan’s soon, and we’ll sort this out tonight, let’s not delay past this evening."

Robinson William, irritated by the reminder, waved his hand dismissively, "Go on with your business, I don’t need you to worry about this end. I already have a good idea what models will suit Zachary, bringing him over this time is just for him to see the actual items. No matter how much you manage to secure from Rylan, I’ll take care of it for him tonight."

Reassured by his brother’s confident response, Ye Liuyun still felt somewhat uneasy as he once again inquired Dong Tianyu, "Old Dong, let me confirm with you again, you’re certain you can get ten boxes of perfume with the same packaging and quality, right?"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s question, Dong Tianyu didn’t hesitate, unraveling his backpack and taking out eleven boxes of perfume with identical packaging and a plastic bag filled with perfume samples.

"I’ve prepared a total of twelve boxed perfumes, as well as eighty sample vials."

"If you’re still not reassured by what’s on the table, you’re welcome to open each one and check them yourself."

"Consider, among the three of us here, if anyone is the least reliable, everybody knows it’s you without saying."
