Chapter 446: Forest ShepherdTranslator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“I want 100 cows.” Samuel knew how to make huge demands now. Then he added, “I want the kind from last time.”
The kind from last time? The kind that Reya had brought?
Chen Zhao had asked around. That cow"s market price was around $1,500. This meant that he would have to spend $150,000.
Alright, it was unrealistic for him to keep taking advantage of Samuel. This kind of request was reasonable.
“Hi, Reya. It"s Chen Zhao.”
“How come you"re calling me?” Reya was surprised to get his call.
“I need cows.”
“Chen, I"d supplied you last time because it was a special reason. Don"t think you can take advantage of me every time.”
“I didn"t plan on taking advantage. I want 100 cows. Sell them according to market value.”
“Why do you need so many cows?”
“Well, I want them. Will you sell them?”
“Sure, but where do you want me to bring them to?”
Since it was a regular exchange, Reya had no reason to reject him. After all, her ranch was an open business. One hundred cows was only small business, but she"d attended Chen Zhao"s party, so she still had to help him.
“Take them to my house.”
“You don"t plan on raising cows near your house, right? I"ve been there. It"s not suitable for cows. The salt content is too high. It"s difficult to plant trees, let alone ranch pastures. Plus, you know the smell too. I advise against raising cows in your own house.”
“You got it wrong. I don"t plan on raising them. I just need beef.”
“Beef? You want to feed everyone in town to eat beef?”
“It"s a personal need. Anyway, transport them over.”
“Fine.”
An hour later, Reya drove two trucks over. These were specially for transporting cows. They were up to 20 meters long and had four levels. One truck could fit 50 cows.
“Just put them here?” Reya asked.
“Leave the trucks here for now. I don"t want to let them out and sh*t everyone.”
Even inside the truck, they already had a strong smell. If they were released, the surroundings would probably all be polluted.
Even though their manure was good fertilizer, Chen Zhao really didn"t want it.
“These two trucks are more expensive than the 100 cows.”
“Borrowing. I"m just borrowing them.”
After Chen Zhao paid, Reya brought her crew away. Chen Zhao put all the cows into the spatial ring.
Thankfully, it was windy here. The smell quickly dissipated in the wind. It didn"t pollute the environment around his home.
After waiting an hour, Chen Zhao had Reya call someone over to drive the trucks away.
“Fali, I have to go to that place after midnight. Twenty-four hours.”
“Oh, shouldn"t you bring some things to your friends over there?”
“I already did,” Chen Zhao said, pursing his lips. “One hundred cows.”
“One hundred cows? Do you have a lot of friends there?”
“Fali, you"re focusing on the wrong thing.”
“Then what should I ask?”
“Whatever, nothing.”
One hundred cows, $150,000. Chen Zhao"s heart was in pain…
Meow, meow.
“Don"t be sad. I"ll just compensate you something.”
Chen Zhao glanced at Samuel. “Go away. Stop annoying me.”
Before midnight came, Samuel stuck to Chen Zhao"s side.
“I really will compensate you. What do you want?”
“I"m serious. I swear as a demon king…”
Samuel might have thought that he"d really made a huge demand this time and felt bad.
“How about I give you a Forest Shepherd?” Samuel asked.
“What"s that?”
“Those tree people you saw when you came to h.e.l.l that day. They"re the Forest Shepherds.”
“What do they do?”
“They can take care of the plants nearby. Like, they can control what plants need what nutrients. A Forest Shepherd can control an entire forest.”
Chen Zhao was tempted. His house was built, but it lacked greenery.
After all, turning a place green couldn"t be done in a day. His original plan was being able to see verdure when he looked in the back. But because of the soil here, the backyard was still very empty. The bushes he"d planted were spa.r.s.e too.
It would be difficult to have changes in the next few years. If he could have a Forest Shepherd, this might change.
“Are you sure they can adjust to the soil and environment of the human world?”
“Of course. They"re not demons.”
“They"re not demons?”
“They"re a type of tree spirit and can adjust to any environment, even deserts. They can also change themselves to adjust to the environment.”
“Okay. Since you"re so sincere, I"ll manage to forgive you this time.”
“You forgave me?”
“Yes.”
“Then can you give me some spices?”
Sh*t. Chen Zhao should"ve known that this b*stard was taking a step back and apologizing to him for an ulterior motive.
He wanted spices from the human world…
But those who took from others had to give in. Chen Zhao could only go to the supermarket and buy all the spices there.
When the worker saw him take all the spices, he thought Chen Zhao had gone crazy.
“But it"s Obitos" dad summoning me this time. Do you know where his territory is?”
“I don"t need to know. I only have to remember your smell. I can find you even if you"re on the other end of the Blood Sea.”
“Oh, Obitos" dad is fighting with one of your subordinates. Don"t get involved.”
“Adults never get involved in children"s fights,” Samuel said indifferently.
To Samuel, Beelzebub Zofee"s war with his neighbor was like kids fighting.
Chen Zhao waited until midnight. The summoning came as planned.
Kaboom.
A giant explosion sounded in his ears. The ground shook as well.
Chen Zhao felt that the tall platform under him was breaking apart. It wasn"t just a feeling…
It really was breaking.
“Ah… Help!” Chen Zhao freaked out. A 100-meter-tall monster was ramming against the platform.
The ground slipped away from him. He started falling toward the beast"s head.
This beast was Lord Logan"s true form—a huge black lion. When Chen Zhao fell on his head, Logan also noticed him.
“I"d heard long ago that Beelzebub Zofee knows a living being,” Logan"s voice boomed in Chen Zhao"s ears. “It really is true.”
