"I've bought some! It's the same jerky that Maria and their team were selling." One of the mercenaries, Bloom, said to their captain, Bwender, his eyes shining.
Maria had just sold a large batch of delicious jerky, and while they bought some, they were also looking for the supplier and had just found it unexpectedly, instantly sparking their interest.
After all, their entire Mercenary Team could produce a large amount of Beast Meat daily, selling it to shops and merchant teams at relatively low prices.
Before, they hadn't thought much of it, but comparing it to the prices of this jerky, they felt utterly outclassed.
So, if they could master the other's methods, they would have control over a huge wealth.
Bwender was naturally excited, but as the leader of the team, he thought more deeply.
If they were motivated just by tasting the jerky, Maria's Mercenary Team probably was too, but they hadn't acted on it, which surely meant these people were not to be trifled with.
