Chapter 106 White Rose Caravan, bicycle delivery [Seeking Order III]
Aboard the speeding G1510 Fuxing.
Chen Xuan leaned on the first-class seat and took a nap.
He did not stay in Hangzhou any longer. After all, Tianhai City was his current base camp.
There are still many couriers that need to wait for receipt, and matters such as registering a business and leasing a warehouse must be followed up in a timely manner.
And he has no thoughts of moving away just yet.
After living in Tianhai City for several years, he is relatively familiar with this city.
If you just change your life in a city, it would be meaningless.
When the time comes to move, I’m afraid it’s time to go abroad and build a territory.
Just after seven o'clock in the evening, the Fuxing stopped at the platform on time.
Get out of the station and take a taxi, all in one go.
After returning to the community, he ate three portions of jerky rice at the nearby Lu Province Restaurant.
The boss, who was strong and tall from Lu Province, was amazed.
Chen Xuan is not a picky eater. When he was in Naroa, he basically dealt with Rebecca and the others casually. He did not dislike fast food or simple dry food native to other worlds.
Since practicing magic, his appetite has improved greatly.
The body shape has not changed much, but the muscle lines have become more obvious, and he looks very healthy.
However, his weight increased uncharacteristically by more than ten kilograms.
Chen Xuan is still very concerned about his own changes.
If the body shape remains the same and the weight increases, then this means that the density of his body has changed.
The average unit density of a normal human body is only slightly higher than the density of water.
But after breaking it down, the difference is still huge.
Bones, viscera, fat, etc. are all very different.
Chen Xuan didn't dare to go for professional medical testing yet, and he couldn't afford to cut himself open to see what happened.
It's just that he understands one truth, that is, the body cannot be tempered and strong for no reason.
It must have been the influence of magic during magic cultivation that caused something to be added to or changed in the body.
After eating and drinking enough, he returned to the rental house and took a comfortable shower.
After setting the alarm clock, I lay on the bed and fell asleep.
I slept for four hours until about 2 a.m. Blue Star time.
After regaining full energy, Chen Xuan put on his equipment and activated [Crossover] again and returned to Naroa.
…
"Blonde hair, here you go, new one!"
No. 12 Glenn Commercial Street is the residence of the "White Rose" caravan.
This name was given by Chen Xuan in memory of Rose Key.
Dora Beria returned from the night, stepped into the central tent of the station, raised her hand and threw out a dead head.
Fresh blood spattered from the fracture, leaving several eye-catching red spots on the rammed earth.
Ophelia, who was sitting at the table, looked at the head and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is the third scout that you two sisters have killed since the arrival of the moonlit night."
Hearing what she said, Beria just raised his eyebrows, took out a piece of linen cloth and wiped the blood-stained rune dagger.
There were about two hundred magic tears placed on the table in front of her, all of which were prepared for her master.
Another 360 bottles of Magic Tears have been delivered to the three caravans that were previously distributed.
Among them, the most powerful [Red Raven] caravan ate two hundred magic tears alone.
They will use trade routes to transport these magic tears to another town more than 700 miles south of Magatan City for sale.
Recently, the retail price of Magic Tears has been generally stable, around 620 kronor per tube.
Distributors will receive additional discounts when purchasing in bulk, only costing 560 kronor per piece.
This was specially permitted by Chen Xuan.
Since it is a wholesale model, sufficient profits must be left for distributors.
Only in this way will the other party work hard to ship, and the interests of both parties will become closer.
But he would definitely not do anything like advance payment for goods.
Magic Tears is different from traditional products in that it is highly targeted.
Whether you are an adventurer, a mercenary or a kingdom warrior, as long as you carry one with you, you can save your life at critical moments.
However, the mineral in Naroa Continent that can extract magic tears - dark red sand.
The reserves are pitifully small, and there are only seven or eight mining areas in the entire continent.
In a sense, it is even more precious than dark gold.
Because magic tears are consumables, but dark gold is not.
The mining area of dark red sand is wrapped in a thick layer of rock. If this mineral is exposed to a magic environment for a long time, it will undergo obvious changes, and the ingredients containing magic tears will disappear.
Therefore, mining, refining, and storage all require quite troublesome processes.
The converted mining cost of a single unit reached about two hundred and seventy kronor.
Taking into account transportation losses and local distribution, the retail price reached an astonishing over six hundred kronor.
If magic tears could be supplied in unlimited quantities, Naroa's multi-ethnic alliance would have defeated the monsters long ago.
But this is impossible.
Because the continent of Naroa is really too big.
Even if all the mercury resources of Blue Star were extracted and brought to Naroya, they would not be able to supply all fronts in the entire continent.
But for Chen Xuan, Blue Star's mercury resources are enough to pave a bright road for him.
After all, he doesn't have to fight against the monster burrows across the entire continent on his own.
The advantage of magic tears supply can not only quickly accumulate wealth, but also allow the "White Rose" caravan to accumulate enough fame as soon as possible, so as to gain the support of the distribution caravan.
The 360 magic tears that have been sold have exchanged 201,600 crowns for the caravan.
Ophelia will use part of this money to buy storage jewelry, and the rest will be used for the expansion of the caravan.
As for the opening of trade routes, it is a more troublesome matter.
It requires a guide who is very familiar with the specific route, a stamina-filled draft horse, and elite guards.
Opening up trade routes is the main way for most caravans to become bigger and stronger.
Capital can only be further revitalized when it flows.
Those traveling merchants will take the goods of Magtan City to the corresponding towns or settlements for sale.
Then they will purchase local specialties on the spot and bring them back to Magtan City for sale.
The right path and destination can indeed make huge profits.
But the situation of the "White Rose" caravan is different. There is no urgent need to open up trade routes in a short period of time.
Just do the wholesale work of Magic Tears honestly.
The world outside is much more dangerous than the city.
Various natural disasters, magic disorder, violent monsters, wandering monsters, and rampant bandits can pose a serious threat to the caravan.
Most of the adventurers who dare to go on the road travel in groups.
Some guys are good people in the city, but when they go to the wild, they turn into bandits.
In addition to the sale of Magic Tears, the caravan also sold more than a dozen sets of aluminum tableware.
All were transported to the towns in the east.
Countless nobles and petty bourgeoisie will pay for aluminum tableware.
The east direction of Magtan City leads to the giant city of Attucks.
The Kingdom Straight Road has opened up nine and twelve large settlements along the way.
The trade routes there are safer, but the competition is also greater.
The "White Rose" caravan has a good start today.
Only the newly acquired spice seasoning has not yet opened.
The main thing is that this thing needs to be smelled, tasted, and even cooked into dishes to make a clear comparison for the caravan leaders.
Ophelia has not had time to promote it yet.
Externally, there are magic tears and aluminum tableware, and internally, there are bicycle orders directly connected to the Blacksmith Association.
It is difficult for the caravan not to become bigger and stronger.
In addition, she also hired a four-man team led by a silver-level adventurer today.
He is an iron fist dwarf warrior who is good at using axes and shields.
The reward for each Naroya day is 950 crowns, and he only needs to be responsible for the safety of the station.
Those guys asked to exchange all the rewards for magic tears.
The price is reasonable, and both parties are very satisfied.
The guarding mission of the station in the city is basically not very dangerous.
It is far less risky than going out to accept commissions and fight.
And the team can take turns to practice.
Both parties have also signed a contract.
But these guys will not meddle in other people's business. Even if the sky falls outside the station, it has nothing to do with them.
Since the moonlit night, there have been several sneaky figures wandering around the station.
Dora and her sister volunteered to kill three scouts within one water clock hour.
Ophelia didn't know if these scouts were sent by her father later.
This made her feel a little irritated.
Most importantly, those scouts affected her arrangements for going to the Blacksmith Association.
Because her master specifically instructed that the delivery of bicycles must be carried out in secret.
If there were scouts following, then concealment would become a joke.
Just as she was distressed, Dora Silan also returned to the station.
She didn't bring back the head, not every time she killed someone, she had to cut off the head as evidence.
Only Belia liked to do this.
Silan's blade was stained with blood, and there was a gap on her upper arm made by a sharp blade.
The blood formed two tracks and flowed along her arm.
"Silan, are you injured?"
Ophelia immediately went up to her and took out the second-level [Healing Potion] to apply on her wound.
A light smoke drifted by, and the wound was visibly dried up.
But it will take some time to fully recover.
"I'm fine!"
"Kill all the enemies!"
Silan said calmly.
The other party invited bronze and black iron scouts.
It's not that they don't want to invite high-level ones, but there are not many scouts among the silver-level strongmen left in the city.
Most of them are warriors, and most of them are there to lead the team.
For example, silver-level spellcasters, rangers, and scouts have basically gone to the giant city to develop.
There are higher-level monster caves, higher-paying commissions, richer training resources and living conditions there. Who would be willing to stay in Bangcheng all the time?
Most of the adventurers and mercenaries in the city who call themselves scouts are "amateur players".
Relying on the magic skills related to ethnic talents, they play the role of scouts, just like Rebecca.
The real members of the scout organization are much more powerful than those crooked ones.
With the strength of the Zerekan sisters, it is more than enough to chase and kill these miscellaneous scouts.
And the scouts tonight are different from the previous ones. They don’t seem to be in the same group.
They should be hired in batches. Their quality is not very high. One of them is a "little guy" of the Black Iron level.
It seems that the other party does not take Ophelia too seriously.
After solving the hidden danger of the scouts, she can no longer sit still.
"In this case, let's set off!"
Ophelia put the magic tears on the table into her bag and carried it on her back.
She led the two sisters out of the tent and went to the stable to get three mountain horses.
Bicycles are not convenient to carry three people at the same time. It is more convenient to ride horses in this situation.
The three women climbed on the horses, and with the "clacking" sound of horse hooves, their figures disappeared into the night.
…
In the courtyard of the West District, Chen Xuan was holding a water-blue magic crystal and concentrating and studying the spell model in it.
"Hmm..."
"Second-level spells are indeed much more complicated."
As his mental power perception left traces in every trace of the model pattern engraved in the crystal, the magic crystal broke.
This situation means that he has initially mastered the magic.
He returned to Naroa from the first water clock of the moon night, and now it is almost the third water clock of the moon night.
Chen Xuan finally mastered a second-level magic——
—— [Turbulent Waves]
This magic takes more than ten seconds to construct.
When he finished constructing the spell, a water wall of two meters high and eight meters long would condense in front of him.
This water wall would be pushed by his thoughts and turned into water waves, washing towards a distance of about thirty meters ahead.
It looked like a small flood peak that occasionally rolled up in the city's waterlogging.
Chen Xuan estimated that he could push the car away.
He didn't dare to use this spell with all his strength in the yard, so he could only disintegrate it on the spot after a little attempt.
After the water wall collapsed, all the water flowed into the yard.
It flowed everywhere.
The effect and efficiency of [Muddy Waves and Rapids] are affected by the environment.
If it is cast near rivers, lakes, and the sea, the power can be further improved, and the spell formation time will be shortened.
But if it is in a desert area, it is just the opposite.
After learning this trick, regardless of the combat effect, at least Chen Xuan will not die of thirst.
He also experienced what magic productivity is.
Just when Chen Xuan was about to think about the details of the spell,
Rebecca, the little cat girl, stepped on the puddles in the yard and ran to him with a walkie-talkie in her hand.
"Master, Ophelia just notified me through the walkie-talkie."
"She has arrived at the Blacksmith Association."
"The delivery location is determined to be the warehouse where the Demon Tears were first delivered."
"The time is one water clock hour later."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, turned around, picked up the bulletproof vest and hooded coat hanging on the wall and put them on.
Wearing a helmet and tactical glasses, this kind of dress is a bit weird in the style of the other world.
But it is still within the acceptance range of the natives.
Chen Xuan has already prepared for this transaction.
There are six or seven mule carts waiting on the nearby streets.
All of them were found by the little cat girl from the village outside the city when Anchu was waiting to pass on the message.
As long as it costs thirty crowns, these guys are willing to wait for a whole Naroya day.
When he and Rebecca were outside the city, they only took a little food to get on the car.
The mule cart was not fast, but the frame it towed was wide and large.
And it was very common in the city, and many traveling merchants would temporarily hire mule carts to help them transit.
The next thing to do was very simple.
Loading, transporting, and going to the warehouse arranged by Ophelia.
It took more than half a water clock.
Fortunately, he and the cat girl both had copper-level magic tempering physiques, so they could easily carry these bicycles.
The transport vehicle of the Blacksmith Association arrived on time.
The vehicle they used was not an animal-powered vehicle, but two square-shaped things that looked a bit like train skins.
This strange vehicle had two huge wheel rims in front and short chassis wheels in the back.
The front axle was very high, so that the large wheel hub and the chassis wheel were synchronized.
The speed was not very fast, but the stability was good.
In addition to the two sisters Ophelia and Zerekan, there were also several strong dwarves.
Including the third-level blacksmith Jason Iron Furnace.
After arriving at the warehouse, this guy personally checked it, then took out two money bags from his arms and threw them to Ophelia.
The dwarves who were traveling with him started loading the goods quickly.
No one said a word at the scene.
The vehicle full of bicycles was covered with a curtain and returned to the Blacksmith Association.
But Johnson Iron Furnace did not leave.
He came to Ophelia's side, looked at Chen Xuan with an impolite look, and nodded to thank him.
"Dear lady, I'm glad you prepared the goods so quickly."
"This gives the association a lot of time for the next modification."
"Just don't know which human who mastered the new technology you are talking about?"
"Is it this guy wearing strange armor?"
Johnson Iron Furnace picked his nose, looking rude and direct.
Ophelia smiled awkwardly.
Chen Xuan raised the corner of his mouth.
He hid his hand in the shadow behind his back and shook it lightly.
He took out a Beretta M9 pistol, removed the magazine, and ejected one of the bullets.
"Do you recognize it?"
"Does it look like the thing on the bracelet on your wrist?"
At this point, he waved the pistol and said in a calm tone.
"Let's go, let's find a tavern to have a good chat."
...
The transition chapter is almost over.
A Xuan is going to pick a cave and upgrade the gold finger.
