Chapter 34: A Thief Has Come Knocking On the Door of a Peddler!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at the people in the chat room who kept posting their statuses and using vulgar words, most of them felt sour.
It was really sour!
The kind where they kept grinding their teeth.
Someone even punched a tree and could not help but curse out. “d.a.m.n it, these people got it!”
Mcgee naturally did not know that his popsicles had brought such a big psychological blow to these people.
However, seeing that the watermelon-flavored popsicles were selling so well and the price was so attractive, he wanted to increase it again.
However, at this moment, the system notification popped up.
[System Notification: You have a new message.]
Mcgee was stunned and opened it. It was a message from Romon.
“Big brother, you have popsicles?”
“That’s too awesome, as expected, it was right for me to form an alliance with you.”
“Can you sell me a few dozen popsicles? Please, I have a great use for them.”
Mcgee thought that he was trying to satisfy his craving.
He did not expect that he would be buying in bulk.
From the looks of it, this fellow was planning to become a second-tier peddler!
Mcgee was a little hesitant.
After all, he was the only one who could make popsicles here. Once he sold the popsicles to Romon in bulk, if this fellow were to sell them at a higher price, it would affect Mcgee’s reputation.
With this in mind, Mcgee wanted to refuse.
But at that moment, Romon sent him something that he could not refuse.
Blueprints for the crossbow sentry tower and the catapult sentry tower.
Looking at the blueprints in the message, Mcgee could not help but suck in a cold breath.
This was really good stuff.
Although his survival base was protected by the Spider Queen’s spiderweb.
Moreover, there were many large pits that were hidden.
However, these defenses were pa.s.sive defenses. Moreover, if the other party was a little more flexible, these defenses would be useless.
Moreover, there were many of them!
To be able to achieve such a large area and lose so many of them, Mcgee would definitely not believe that it was the beasts that were playing tricks again.
There must be someone behind this.
Therefore, the pa.s.sive defense tactic was no longer enough for Mcgee!
Thinking of this, Mcgee nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Mcgee agreed, Romain was delighted and stated his requirements. He wanted fifty.
Looking at Romain’s requirements, Mcgee nodded.
This amount was within his acceptable range.
After all, he did not want to use his precious time to make popsicles!
Very quickly, with the help of the little Spirit Fox, Mcgee completed the order.
Both parties traded. Mcgee obtained the blueprint for the crossbow sentry tower and the blueprint for the catapult sentry tower.
Romon also received fifty popsicles.
Not mentioning Mcgee, at this moment, Romon was overjoyed.
He could not help but think to himself. “With the Popsicles, my plan is finally ready!”
“Thank you, Mcgee!”
Then, Romon finished editing the prepared information and sent it to the chat room.
“Purchase all kinds of crystal cores and materials that can help the tamed beasts level up.”
Then, he put up his request for materials.
One-quarter of watermelon, one portion of meat, two portions of popsicle, and so on.
…
Before Mcgee had time to look at the composite picture in his backpack, he saw the request for materials on the shelves of the trading hall.
When he looked at the publisher again, Mcgee revealed a strange smile.
He thought to himself, “This Roman is not simple. It seems that even if he was a businessman in my previous life, he was probably a profiteer!”
What was the most important thing at this time?
It was not the crystal core and the materials to let the tamed beasts evolve.
Because most of the tamed beasts’ grades were not high.
Upgrading one level simply could not bring much of an increase in attack.
On the contrary, raising a tamed beast was equivalent to increasing the consumption of a portion of food.
If they were not given food, or if they were not given well, the loyalty of the tamed beast would drop, and they might even rebel and run away.
Whether or not to upgrade the tamed beast was a secondary consideration.
Therefore, food was the most important material at this time.
Not to mention the things that Roman gave. Looking at the entire market, it was still very fair. A quarter of the watermelon, two portions of popsicles, and one portion of steak. This price was very attractive to a lot of people.
So Romon’s move was very clever.
Mcgee was also very tempted.
But he did not choose to follow up.
After all, Romon was still doing his best in his deal.
At this time, he could give him some face.
Of course, he would buy it from him first. When the time came, he would directly buy it from him, saving a lot of effort.
After all, if Romon wanted to sell the things in his hands, he could not avoid Mcgee.
After all, he was the person with the richest resources in the world.
Thinking of this, Mcgee stopped caring about Romon and went back to his own business.
Meanwhile, Romon was staring at the trading hall.
He knew that the only person who could affect his business was Mcgee. He had been in business for so many years, so he naturally understood one thing. If he wanted to make money, he had to cling to the big boss’s thigh. If the big boss ate meat, he could still drink soup. If he angered the big boss… not to mention drinking soup, he might even lose his life.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to take out the high-quality treasure rewarded by the system. His goal was to gain favor with Mcgee and make the alliance more stable.
…
At this time, Mcgee was looking at the blueprints for the crossbow sentry tower and the catapult sentry tower.
Crossbow sentry tower.
Required Materials: Iron * 8, stone * 20, wood * 10, copper ore * 15.
Catapult sentry tower.
Required Materials: Iron * 15, stone * 5, wood * 8, copper ore * 20.
Looking at the two materials required, Mcgee frowned.
Wood and stone were easy to deal with, he had a lot now.
Iron was not too difficult, after all, he already had a stable channel to obtain it.
It was just that this channel would reduce the little fox’s loyalty.
But the copper mine was a big problem!
Then, Mcgee glanced at the trading hall.
Most of the transactions were about food and water.
A small part were all kinds of tools.
As for building a sentry tower, there was not a single one.
But thinking about it, it was normal. In this world, Mcgee’s development had greatly exceeded everyone’s pace.
The others’ development was relatively slower.
This was indeed an advantage for Mcgee, but it also made it very troublesome for Mcgee to need any materials, so he had to obtain them himself.
Thinking of this, Mcgee had a slight headache.
He had thought that he would be able to build it quickly, but now it seemed that he still had to look for copper mines!
But fortunately, he had an expert in this area.
Then, Mcgee looked at the Steel Fairy on the side.
He told it his needs.
The Steel Fairy nodded and quickly set out to search.
Because of the delicious food, the Steel Fairy and Mcgee were very loyal, so the Steel Fairy naturally would not refuse most of Mcgee’s requests.
After all, there were many delicious things in the human world.
So the Steel Fairy left with this joy.
Then, Mcgee prepared to see how the watermelon was ripening. After the watermelon ripened, most of it was given to the little Spirit Fox and Spider Queen, but Mcgee only ate a few pieces and did not enjoy it at all.
But when he came to the watermelon shed, Mcgee was dumbfounded.
The watermelon that was almost ripe in the shed in front of him had all disappeared!
