Chapter 60: How to Earn a Large Number of Energy Stones?
"You guessed the beginning... but not the end."
Xiao Yu raised his index finger and shook it with a smile, "I want to recruit a group of excellent blacksmiths."
It would take at least several years to forge all the iron ore into weapons and armor.
Xiao Yu, however, was unwilling to stay in Divine Weapon City and wait indefinitely.
In addition, pangolins often burrow underground.
Yesterday, it even helped Xiao Yu find a small piece of saline-alkali land.
Xiao Yu used this to extract a small amount of low-quality salt, which temporarily solved the salt problem.
With such treasure-hunting abilities, who can guarantee that they won't discover extraterrestrial meteorites again?
After careful consideration, he decided to recruit a group of his own blacksmiths.
“Recruit a group of blacksmiths? Impossible!” Upon hearing this, the three women shook their heads decisively.
"Xiao Yu, you should know how sought-after the blacksmith profession is, right?"
The reason why there are so many blacksmiths in Divine Weapon City is because of that master forging.
Most blacksmiths went there to learn the craft because of its reputation.
Because as long as you pass the assessment, you can get the blacksmith association badge personally awarded by the master.
Then you can join behemoths like Flame City and Black Soil City.
At that time, there will be no danger, no worries about food and clothing, and a very high status.
In contrast, a newly established small power like yours will find it difficult to attract them.
Within those powerful forces, the hierarchy of status and social standing among different professions is very clear.
Ordinary civilians have no status whatsoever and can be abandoned at any time!
Those of slightly higher status were merchants with some wealth.
Below the top echelons, the highest-ranking members were the hunting teams, because they were able to obtain food and water.
Blacksmiths who can forge weapons and armor have a higher status than those in hunting teams!
"Well, let's talk about this later." Xiao Yu nodded, without objecting.
He has modern iron smelting technology and a lot of good stuff, so why would he be afraid of not attracting people?
Besides, it takes about ten days to get to Divine Weapon City from here.
Even after such a long time, he can still come up with many ways to deceive people.
"Alright, let's talk about something else now," Xiao Yu said, stroking his chin with a serious expression.
"The permanent population of Divine Weapon City is at least ten or twenty thousand, and there are even more people coming and going to buy and sell weapons and armor. Since so many people are gathered here, can we take this opportunity to get some energy stones?"
"Xiao Yu, are you crazy? How dare you cause trouble in the Holy City?" Upon hearing this, the three women became anxious.
Divine Weapon City is a sacred place in the hearts of many, holding a much higher status than Flame City and Black Soil City.
If Xiao Yu were to steal something or cause trouble in the Holy City, he would anger many people who would come after him.
"Is this how you see me?" Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.
The three women stared intently at Xiao Yu, thinking to themselves: You are!
Seeing this, Xiao Yu could only purse his lips and explain:
"I was thinking that people who come and go from Divine Weapon City must be wealthy, and we have quite a few good items. If we trade in Divine Weapon City, we can definitely make a fortune. So, I'd like to ask you, what would be a good thing to trade?"
The energy stones obtained by hunting ferocious beasts are too slow and too few.
So, he kept thinking about how to get more energy stones.
The best way is to get the energy stones from someone else!
"I see." Upon hearing this, the three women all breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh right, we have a water source!” Xinglan looked down at Xiao Shiyi and her eyes lit up immediately.
In the entire wasteland, the most scarce resource for all factions is water.
The larger the power, the more water-scarce it is.
With Little Shi Yi around, the Maple Leaf Tribe has an inexhaustible water source.
He could become the world's richest man just by selling water!
“We can sell the water, but… we don’t have containers to hold it,” June analyzed earnestly.
We can't exactly have Little Shii purify it on the spot, can we?
In that case, Xiao Yu would become the target of everyone's hatred and be hunted down by the entire world!
"The container is simple," Xiao Yu said.
After being transported to this world, I always used seashells and leaves as containers, which I felt was unhygienic.
Since we don't have a pot, the main way we eat is by grilling.
Previously, I was too busy destroying the Black Demon tribe to think about these things.
Now, it's time to make some improvements.
He then had Honglian make some pottery and forge iron pots.
At that time, they can also sell pottery and other utensils.
This adds even more unique products!
"And vegetables..."
"Currently, production is too low, so only a small amount can be traded."
Beast meat isn't particularly valuable.
Because ferocious beasts are everywhere.
On the contrary, vegetables, especially those that have already been cultivated and matured, are priced exorbitantly!
Once it's released, it will absolutely be snapped up.
"Xiaoyu, you're here?"
As everyone was discussing, Xiao Yu turned to look at Xiao Yu at the entrance of the courtyard.
Last night, he had already consumed 10 energy stones to evolve the Night Glow Tree to the sixth tier.
The glowing tree accumulated even more glowing dew overnight, making it even more effective.
Therefore, Xiao Yu immediately adjusted the reward system for his subordinates.
In addition, the hundreds of vegetable seedlings we just received from the Black Demon Tribe have grown quite a bit.
They used to cultivate one acre of land, but now it's all crammed together.
They must be transplanted to a wider field to absorb more nutrients from the soil.
Otherwise, it will quickly grow crooked and useless.
Anyway, there are plenty of empty spaces on the back of the earth dragon turtle now.
Xiao Yu also cultivated a special vegetable plot.
He summoned Xiaoyu so that she could lead the women to transplant most of the vegetable plants there.
"Xiaoyu, you've come at the right time. Give us some ideas first," Xiao Yu said, beckoning.
Then, he recounted what had just happened and asked Xiaoyu to help him think about it.
"What can you sell?" Xiaoyu tilted her head and thought for a moment before tentatively asking, "Chief, you've brought back hundreds or even thousands of ferocious beasts several times before... We can't possibly eat them all in a short time."
Furthermore, Chenlong and his companions would go hunting every day.
Before the chieftain arrived, the tribe of more than two hundred people had been starving every day.
But now, hunting has become incredibly easy, and the warehouse is overflowing with ferocious beasts.
For dozens of women, skinning them was a huge undertaking.
Before, there was nothing to eat, but now there's too much food and it's going to spoil, which adds another problem.
"Those smaller factions aren't good at hunting. If you want energy stones, you can sell them the beast meat you can't finish eating in your warehouse."
"This one is good too." Xiao Yu nodded approvingly.
There are many displaced people in the wilderness, and they lack everything.
The Maple Leaf Tribe is now quite wealthy.
There was an endless supply of ferocious beast meat, as well as one or two thousand iron knives and thousands of suits of armor.
These maple leaf tribes have more than enough resources.
Instead of letting it gather dust and rust, why not use it to exchange for energy stones!
After discussing it further, everyone went their separate ways.
Xiao Yu then took Xiao Yu to the plantation to transplant vegetables.
Only a small amount of vegetables were left under the glowing tree for Xiao Yu and his group to eat; the rest were all transplanted.
