“Green was initially very clean, it got contaminated by love.”
“Damn, the dude upstairs sure is cultured.”
“[Forest Triangle Hat (Green)], only three left, those who are interested better act quick, only three left.”
“I’ll buy, but let it be clear, it’s for my troops, not for me.”
“Troop: I’m, like, really grateful for you…”
“Anyone interested in this pretty good looking [Comaran Silver Dining Knife]? Its handle is adorned with intricate floral engravings. I’m looking to trade it for 5 Soul Crystals.”
“Are you out of your mind, mate? Apart from its appearance, it serves no purpose and you actually think of trading it for 5 Soul Crystals.”
“It’s a collectible, an artifact, don’t you get it?”
“Soul Crystals can be used to recruit troops and save lives, what can your fancy artifact do, help trim toenails?”
“I kind of agree, plus we don’t live the Western lifestyle. We use chopsticks and you want to charge such a high price for a dining knife.”
“Will you sell that Silver Dining Knife for 1 Soul Crystal?” Suddenly, someone interjected.
“Deal, let’s exchange.”
“What the hell! Someone was actually willing to buy it.”
“Indeed, there are so many rich guys in this channel.”
Ding!
While Fang Hao was idly browsing through the regional forum, he received a private message.
He opened it to find a message from Deng Bin, the lord he gets his flax from.
A large patch of flax-fields lies outside Deng Bin’s fiefdom.
When Fang Hao was buying flax, the two decided to cooperate, with Fang Hao trading resources for Deng Bin’s flax.
Their cooperation had been going pretty well until then.
“Is the great lord Fang Hao here? Just wanted to ask, is there a high demand for flax from your side?”
Demand?
Fang Hao was planning to set up a textiles shop and had also increased the number of Skeleton Tailors.
One could say, the supply of flax was stable.
But, why would Deng Bin suddenly ask him this? Does he plan to raise the price?
Just as Fang Hao was about to hit send on his reply ‘The demand for flax is average’, he got another message from Deng Bin.
“Lord Fang Hao, I’ve gotten into some trouble on my end. If your demand for flax is high, I’d like to discuss a change in the way we trade it.”
Getting this message, Fang Hao understood what Deng Bin was hinting at.
He deleted his unfinished message and replied, “What happened? Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Bandits have discovered my fiefdom and we’ve already had a few skirmishes. I want to trade you flax for some equipment.”
Deng Bin’s fiefdom was in a good location.
After trading flax with Fang Hao, his resources kept steadily increasing.
He would exchange anything he needed with flax from Fang Hao.
Sometimes, reselling those goods would earn him even more.
But recently, a large group of bandits had stumbled upon his fiefdom. They had already had a few clashes which cost Deng Bin many lives.
The bandits had now surrounded his castle, stopping his villagers from gathering resources.
They were stuck in the castle, slowly eating away the food stored in the granary.
After waiting for two days without the bandits showing any signs of leaving, Deng Bin decided it was worth a try.
He’d been buying a lot of soul crystals from the channel.
His troop count was now up to 500.
Once he gets some more equipment from Fang Hao, he was ready to take on the bandits.
If he wins, he loses nothing and could even try to occupy the bandit camp. If he lost, he’d be done for anyway, and the equipment and fiefdom wouldn’t matter anymore.
“What’s wrong with the equipment in the channel?” asked Fang Hao.
There were tens of thousands of pieces of equipment listed by Fang Hao in the regional channel.
These were either his troops’ old gear or repaired loot.
Wasn’t that enough for Deng Bin?
“Lord Fang Hao, that’s what I wanted to talk about. I don’t have many troops, so I absolutely need to have an advantage in equipment. So, I’m looking to exchange flax for 500 high-quality pieces of equipment. I promise to sell you flax at half the previous price from now on, what do you think?”
Maybe it was because they’d chatted a lot.
Deng Bin’s this message was quite long.
But he explained everything clearly.
Since the bandits outnumbered him, in order to win, Deng Bin needed to have better equipment.
That’s why he couldn’t make use of the white and green equipment available in the channel.
So, he thought of this method to try his luck with Fang Hao.
Fang Hao didn’t reply immediately.
He was considering the equal exchange, and the possibility of buying flax at half the price from now on.
If they could strike up a long-term partnership, Fang Hao was willing to part with the equipment.
But Fang Hao was doubtful about the truth of Deng Bin’s words.
It’s possible that for some reason, Deng Bin no longer wanted to work with him and was trying to trick him into giving his equipment for free.
“I can accept your terms. But how do I know I can trust your words?” Fang Hao replied bluntly.
The other party fell silent.
After several minutes, another message came in.
” [Image]This is me, we’re in the same area, we’ll inevitably meet, if I deceive you, you can kill me when we meet next time.”
Fang Hao clicked on the image.
It was a photograph taken from the Book of Lords.
Standing beneath a torch was a person, short fair hair in a short-sleeved shirt, their exposed left arm marked with colorful tattoos.
Even though they were dressed neutrally, one could still tell it was a woman.
It seemed that she was not someone one could mess with even before crossing the worlds.
“Tell me what kind of equipment you need, in detail, so that I can send it to you.”
The other party stated that they could be killed if they were dishonest.
What else could he say?
“Alright, thankyou, boss, I’ll remember this favor. 500 sets of armor, 300 spears, bows and arrows…”
As Deng Bin spoke, Fang Hao set up an offer trade with the equipment she required.
The transaction was completed quickly, and Fang Hao received a lot of flax.
As agreed, the price of any flax sold by Deng Bin in the future would decrease by 50%.
Provided she survived.
To Fang Hao, it was a favorable deal.
The next day.
Finishing his morning workout, Fang Hao saw that it was already past 8 a.m.
Pulling Anjia from under the covers in the bedroom, they went downstairs for breakfast.
Having finished breakfast.
He took Anjia and headed towards the Frostwind Mountains.
The Bone Dragon landed in Frostwind City.
“Lord.”
The Skeleton hero, Skullcrusher, and the Orc Shaman, Clyde, came out to greet them.
“Hmm, Skullcrusher, take me around the mines.” Fang Hao was still sitting atop the Bone Dragon.
The purpose of Fang Hao’s visit to the Frostwind Mountains today was to replace some equipment in the various mines.
In addition to the white steel mining drafts, minecarts and railways have also been made to increase the efficiency of the mines.
“Yes, my Lord.”
Skullcrusher got on the Bone Dragon and pointed out a mine.
The Bone Dragon soared into the sky, heading in the given direction.
They began creating minecarts and railways one mine at a time.
On the other hand.
The border of the Crescent Heights, where the Undead had recently established a massive camp.
A 700,000-strong Undead army was already ready for departure, and the Orc messengers were already scattered among the ranks.
“Commander Demitrija, the army is ready and can depart at any time.” The Blood Hunter landed beside Demitrija and spoke softly.
Demitrija looked up at the sky, and then at the thick fog within Crescent Heights.
Crescent Heights was shrouded in clouds and fog all year round.
Even during the day, the sunlight was dim under the cover of the clouds and fog.
“Depart.” Demitrija ordered.
The signal flags were raised high, and the large troops set off.
Stepping into the fog, the road was relatively smooth.
The dense fog made the environment somewhat damp.
The tree trunks were covered in fungus, like tumours growing after an illness.
The rocks were also covered in green moss.
As they delved deeper, Demitrija became aware of a problem.
The fog was getting thicker, and the farther they went, the harder it was to distinguish directions.
He needed a guide.
A guide who was familiar with the local terrain.
Rustle!!
Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves came from the shrubs ahead.
The next second.
A figure jumped out from the shrubs.
Barely had they steadied themselves when they saw the Undead army staring at them.
After standing dumbfounded for a couple of seconds, they immediately turned around and fled.
“Catch him!” Commanded Demitrija nonchalantly.
Whoosh!!
The Blood Hunter spread his bat wings and shot out in an instant.
He pushed the fleeing individual to the ground, and with a dagger, he pried open the person’s mouth, inspecting their teeth.
