Chapter 45 Returning to the City and Initial Discussion on Trade [Please Read On]

The collapse was not very deep.

It didn't take much effort for these guys to dig out the remains of monsters covered with dirt.

However, the materials and magic cores of these remains were taken away without exception.

Then they dug out the almost naked bodies of the succubus and the boarman.

The storage bag carried by the boarman Ragnar disappeared, the pair of spiral magic horns on the forehead of the succubus were cut off, and the wound of cutting the magic core appeared on the back of the neck as usual.

The gray dust covered the surface of the body, and the soil filled the scars.

The adventurers at the scene were in an uproar.

Even the seemingly calm spellcaster Belsa was shocked when he saw Ragnar's ugly body.

"Damn, why did this pig head appear here?"

"And it's naked..."

Belsa stared at the dead pig's face covered with dirt, his face was very ugly.

He and Ragnar didn't have much friendship.

It was just because they drank sour peach wine together not long ago.

Unexpectedly, it turned into a corpse before a water clock had passed.

"The magic core and materials were picked up very cleanly."

"There must be an old hand who cleaned up the scene."

"The destruction of the cave is also very strange. No corpse of the magic pillar guarding it was found even after digging deep into the cave."

"In theory, any attack on the magic pillar will attract the guard to cross the passage."

An adventurer wearing a lanyard single mirror standing at the edge of the pit gave his analysis.

These clues are not difficult to find, and they immediately resonated with everyone.

"Take the bodies of the succubus and Ragnar, and let's return to the city as soon as possible."

"Leave the trouble here to the subsequent commission team to deal with!"

His words were echoed again, because this idea happened to be the idea of ​​everyone.

The adventurers who took on the log-level commission did not have too much ambition.

Basically, they regarded this commission as a leisure time, and no one wanted to get into unknown trouble.

Chen Xuan winked at Ophelia and Rebecca respectively, and then raised his right hand and echoed loudly.

"That's right!"

"The situation here should be decided by the guild."

"Those who are interested can stay at the farm and temporarily join the subsequent commission team!"

The cat lady and the half-elf looked at each other and shouted.

"Yes..."

"Go back!"

It has been less than two water clocks since arriving at the farm.

Excluding the waiting time for the commission and the time for traveling, there are still more than three water clocks before the arrival of the pseudo night.

Converted to Blue Star time, it is nearly ten hours!

He didn't want to spend the night in the farm according to the commission convention. In this way, he would have to wait for more than 30 hours to return to Magtan City, including the pseudo night and the moon night, and this part of time would be wasted.

Chen Xuan still has a lot of things to do, including what the succubus said before she died.

The "Magtan City is going to be destroyed" and the so-called "secret door" she mentioned need to be investigated urgently.

There are also trade issues, and he has to discuss the details with Ophelia as soon as possible.

Finally, Chen Xuan himself was unwilling to spend the night outside the city. Here he even needs to be extra careful to [cross the border] and return to Blue Star.

Adventurers are not fools. If they leave or disappear for a long time, they will definitely be suspicious.

So he strongly supports the suggestion of returning to Magtan City.

The voices on the scene were strong, and even if Bielsa was unwilling, he could only follow the crowd.

Everyone returned to the farm with two corpses.

After meeting the shrewd farm owner, the halfling Brenden Zeman, he briefly told him about the situation in the forest.

Then everyone took the three mule carts back to the city.

…

After nearly a water clock, Chen Xuan and others finally returned to the city.

Everyone first went to the Adventurer's Guild in Qingbaiye in the West District to deliver the commission and report the situation.

The collapsed new cave and the corpses of the succubus and the wild boar man attracted the attention of the guild.

Higher-level commissions were issued.

The investigation order they undertook was declared completed.

All participants received 1 merit point, which is a kind of score in the guild system.

There was also a 150 kronor team reward, which was divided among 14 people, and each person received 10 kronor, plus a few coins.

After the work was done, adventurers who were interested in the follow-up could take on the commission of the advanced investigation order, and those who were not interested could gather on the spot.

Chen Xuan was going to take Rebecca and Ophelia to a quiet bar for a drink.

But just when the three of them walked out of the Adventurer's Guild.

The young dwarf warrior suddenly caught up with him.

"Chen Xuan, I want to buy your cigarettes."

Sidney Stone Hammer took out a broken purse from his arms and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Faced with this request, Chen Xuan curled his lips, reached under his hem, took out two boxes of soft white sand and threw them directly into his hand.

"Give it to you."

"No! You must pay!"

Chen Xuan ignored him and turned around with a smile to leave with the two women.

Two packs of white sand, not good cigarettes.

Sidney Stone Hammer behind him chased after him with two packs of cigarettes.

"I live in Blackstone Lane. You can find me if you need help in the future."

"Everyone in the lane knows me!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and left with a dashing pace.

...

In the private room of the Blue Charm Tavern in the West District.

Ophelia was discussing trade matters with Chen Xuan.

Kitty girl Rebecca Miri was holding a glass of sweet and sour juice with empty eyes, as if she was in a state of distraction.

She remembered her sick mother and brother Nick at home, but she could not leave her master behind.

Chen Xuan did not drink the drinks provided here, but took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage compartment.

After nearly an hour of long discussion, he and Ophelia made arrangements for the next step.

The tentative sales items are as follows:

A 28-bar bicycle, the kind with a large flat back seat.

For Feizhai Happy Water, he planned to directly purchase cola syrup and carbonated freshly brewed machine.

For aluminum, just buy finished aluminum ingots directly, eliminating the need to use cans to smelt.

As for the magic tears, which are mercury, he planned to prepare a few kilograms first.

The packaging and sales processes can be left to Ophelia.

Borrow the channels of the Colchicum business group, but need to share a part of the profits.

Ophelia herself plays the role of middleman.

She will strictly block some links and let all clues reach her.

The premise is that she must convince her father first.

Ophelia seemed very confident about this matter.

The first round of trading mainly focuses on Magic Tears and aluminum ingots, and the shipment volume will not be too large.

Bicycles and happy water are great additions.

Because she lacked knowledge about bicycles, she could only interpret them according to Chen Xuan as some kind of metal equipment with a moving efficiency higher than that of a healthy mule but lower than that of a horse.

Happy Water will be sold as a new beverage.

These two are higher in universality than Aluminum Ingot and Magic Tears.

But the profits are incomparable.

All in all, as long as the first step is agreed upon, the subsequent path can be adapted accordingly.

Backed by Blue Star's strong productivity, Chen Xuan did not panic at all.

…

postscript:

[You don’t have to be too obsessed with bicycles and fat boy water, just try and play tricks. The early profit target has been determined. According to the setting of Mercury (Magic Tears), this is just needed.

There will be a second, third, and fourth batch of products in the future.

In addition: Just as far as making money is concerned, business requires a process at the beginning, but after it takes shape, it can be much more profitable than robbery. Trying may not always be perfect, but if you are not even willing to try, then failure will follow. According to It is set in the book that if you want to support the commercial territory of the Naroa continent, it cannot be done with just one or two major products. The protagonist is backed by the entire Blue Star.

Moreover, dark gold and mithril are magic metals that are no less important than mercury. Let’s not talk about how much demand Naroya people have for mercury. At least Chen Xuan’s demand for these two magic metals in the future will definitely not be small, such as forming a force. You need to reserve for things like that. Never have too little money]

If you are wondering whether the purchase of children's shoes will arouse doubts, you can first find out the amount of local materials, as long as it is not a single purchase of hundreds of tons.

Even if you have to go through the compliance procedures, it is very simple. The prerequisite is money.

In the next stage, when the protagonist makes money, he will play bigger.

Take aluminum as an example:

Aluminum is the second largest metal category after steel. Aluminum is widely used. The development of the three important industries of aviation, construction, and automobiles requires that the material properties have the unique properties of aluminum and its alloys, which greatly facilitates the production and application of this new metal aluminum.

There are hundreds of downstream application industries.

As for mercury, it is also widely used in the fields of chemical industry, medical treatment, military industry, electrical appliances, and instruments. The annual consumption of any relevant township-level factory is not low.

In addition to those controlled materials and high-risk compounds, the circulation of various materials in the country is far beyond everyone's imagination.
