Chapter 736: Food Prices Tripled
More than ten minutes later, gourmet Sandberg was tied up by several high-level masters sent by Duke Gran and "invited" from the next city.
After arriving at the place, Sandberg was completely frightened.
His face was ashen, without a trace of blood, and his legs were shaking and he couldn't stand steadily.
Especially after seeing Duke Gran himself, his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
His heart was like the sky falling - he should not have violated the laws of the empire or offended any big shots? Why were all the adults present staring at him closely, and their mental power was still scanning his body, as if they were going to dissect him in public?
The god-level master on the side of Duke Gran was a woman hidden in the black fog. Su Yu couldn't see her face clearly, nor did he know her profession.
Three minutes after Su Yu appeared, this female master arrived above Duke Gran's head and was full of vigilance against Su Yu.
But Su Yu was still calm and composed.
He smiled and gave the female god a wizard salute, then continued to stand still, pretending to be a statue.
…
After Sandberg arrived, Hunter stuffed Su Yu's two strings of roasted corn into his mouth without Duke Gran's instructions, and forced him to chew and swallow.
Several other generals also quickly gathered around, using their mental power to understand the changes of food in Sandberg's stomach.
Sandberg was so surprised that he almost lost control of his bowels and bladder.
What exactly is this yellow tumor-like thing that the Duke fed him? Is it a new type of poison?
But he didn't dare to resist at all.
He could only swallow the food tremblingly while praying for the blessing of the God of Fire, hoping that he could survive today.
…
Sandberg's talent is quite special. When he was seven or eight years old, his parents discovered that he could digest food quickly and convert part of the power in the food into his own strength.
This ability should have been very strong. Others can only work hard to practice to become stronger, but he only needs to eat a lot to become stronger. He looks like a template for the protagonist of an online article.
But unfortunately, Sandberg's conversion rate of food into his own power is too low! It is less than one thousandth.
Because of this pitiful conversion rate, this special talent can be said to be quite useless, so he has not become a strong man in most of his life, and the reason why he is famous is still relying on the title of "Gourmet Big Eater".
...
But now, it's time for his special talent to work!
After the talent is activated, the corn kernels hardly stay after entering his stomach. They are introduced into the intestines after a while and are decomposed and converted into energy in the intestines.
Gradually, the brows of Duke Gran and others relaxed.
According to their observations, Sandberg's digestion process is basically the same as that of ordinary people, and there is no difference.
Now they can be sure that the food sold by Su Yu is not much different from their local crops, but there are differences in appearance.
"Sanberg, how do you feel?" Duke Gran asked kindly.
"Ah? You ask me?!"
"Nonsense, is there anyone else named Sandberg here? Who should I ask if not you?" A black line jumped on Duke Gran's head.
Sandberg said ecstatically: "God of Fire! The Duke actually took the initiative to talk to me! This is enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life!"
"Okay, okay!" A second black line jumped on Duke Gran's forehead: "Let's talk business first, how do you feel now?"
"Feeling? Feeling... If I say feeling, I feel it's delicious." Sandberg answered hesitantly.
He said this was the truth, the taste of roasted corn was indeed very good.
But another black line jumped on Duke Gran's forehead, this was the third one.
He said angrily with a dark face: "The 'feeling' I'm talking about refers to the feeling inside your body! For example, do you feel any discomfort, pain or discomfort in your body!"
Sanberg was frightened by Duke Gran's rage.
His knees softened and he knelt on the ground, lying on the ground and said: "Duke, I was wrong! There is no feeling inside the body, just like eating normally!"
Hearing him say this, Duke Gran's face looked a little better. It's really hard to communicate with such a waste.
...
But since there is no problem with food, their problem is solved!
Of course, Duke Gran would not ignore Su Yu, the distinguished guest, and quickly put on a smile and said to him: "Dear guest from another dimension, how much food do you have?"
Su Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have as much as you need, enough!
If you are really worried that the food is poisonous, it doesn't matter. I can give you the food first, and you can pay in half a month."
"That's great!"
Hearing the word "enough", Duke Gran's face was full of smiles.
He was very excited: "It seems that the God of Fire still favors me! The food problem is completely solved, and I can become the emperor of the Fire Country. It can be said that it is a foregone conclusion!"
Logistics Chief Hunter was not as excited as the Duke.
This merchant from another dimension "sends charcoal in the fire", so the price of these "charcoals" must be not low, right?
He asked: "Dear guest from another world, regarding the price of these grains, I want to know what price you want to offer?"
Hearing Hunter's words, Duke Gran's excitement immediately cooled down a little.
Wait, this merchant from another dimension will not blackmail me, right?
If he really said that he couldn't afford an astronomical sum, wouldn't it be a false alarm?
However, Su Yu did not intend to blackmail him. Su Yu just wanted to sell the things quickly so that he could go back to practice.
"According to my understanding." Su Yu said lightly: "Now that the extreme winter is about to come, and there is a war, the price of food on the market has increased six or seven times compared to usual, right?"
"Yes, that's indeed the case." Hunter nodded.
"Then I will only charge you 4 times the usual price for these food! What do you think?"
"4 times... I think this price is still a bit high."
"Then 3 times, no less, and the payment must be paid in full with psychic stones or sixth-level or higher magic beast materials."
"Deal!" Duke Gran replied immediately.
He can completely afford the 3 times price, you can't buy such cheap food on the black market!
He can even charge more and let his people sell the extra food on the black market. This way, he can even make a profit!
"That's settled." Su Yu took out a fist-sized recording crystal from his necklace and said, "Let's start the transaction now.
However, during the transaction, I need to record the entire process to keep the voucher, so that it will be convenient for me to report to my boss."
"Boss?" Duke Gran noticed Su Yu's choice of words.
Su Yu is such a powerful seventh-level upper-level expert, but he actually has a boss? !
