"I sure did, sir. One hundred and ninety-eight kilograms, within the limits of the allocation."
"Alright."
Buck nodded. "Are you interested in selling the ore to me, by any chance? A hundred and ninety-eight kilograms of ore can make two bronze chests, and I'll pay you ten million dollars for each. How's that?"
"Twenty million dollars?" Wilbur asked. "Well, how much is a bronze chest worth on the market?"
"A hundred million dollars. Two bronze chests would be worth double that."
Wilbur could not help but chuckle. "You're only paying me twenty million dollars for a two hundred-million-dollar profit, Mister Buck? Surely that can't be a good deal for me?"
Buck shrugged. "Think of it as a friendship deal? It's not just money I'm offering you, but also a connection between the both of us."
Wilbur responded, "I'm sorry, but I have actually promised to give all of these copper ores to Punter. I can't sell them to you."
"Are you really going to do that? Wilbur, you must know that everyone who passes my test can only enter Tuttle Mine once a year. That means you won't be able to enter that mine anymore for the next year. This is your chance at making money."
Wilbur smiled. "I've thought it through, Mister Buck. Thank you."
