“Uncle Bede must be laughing, raising such a mountain delicacy is too challenging,” Gaven said with a helpless smile toward Bede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible, truly incredible, you’ve done an astounding job already,” Bede said giving a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never seen such an obedient, such a smart Half-Ogre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gaven, where on earth did you find such a treasure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bede was speaking to Gaven, his eyes followed the Half-Ogre constantly, his covetous look so apparent that even a fool could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was naturally born to be a caravan guard; having such a one to escort them on the road not only significantly increased their safety but could also assist with the wagons and transportation of goods during crucial moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucky me, he presented himself at my doorstep,” Gaven said lightly, appearing utterly oblivious to Bede’s look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bede, unable to contain his eagerness, blurted out, “Considering our deep friendship, Uncle Bede has a small request…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not for sale,” Gaven immediately cut off what Bede was about to say next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know what I was going to say?” asked Bede in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all written on your face,” Gaven replied with utmost seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am open to other deals, but when it comes to my people, whether Gnolls or even a Goblin, I do not sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Uncle Bede wishes to do business with me in the future, please do not cross this line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Past experiences with slavery made Gaven deeply despise the slave trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would he never touch such business, but he would also exterminate any slave trader he encountered, without any room for negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, just a joke, just a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Uncle Bede take away Brother Gaven’s beloved possession?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, I mean talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Brother Gaven intends to settle in the dangerous Rocklands and definitely needs such a strong protector, haha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Bede displayed his shrewdness, laughing off the awkward atmosphere and ushering Gaven further inside, “Come on, it’s not just me this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from a few who are heading to Sambia with cargo, the rest of the brothers are back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Brother Gaven is quite popular among us old fellows; they all think highly of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, it’s been proven that Brother Gaven is even more capable than we thought; we brought quite a bit of good stuff this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just underestimated the pace of Brother Gaven’s development and didn’t prepare enough in some of the goods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a bit of an outsider’s talk, Bede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your coming here is the biggest vote of confidence for me, and that’s all I could ask for,” Gaven said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, we’re not in for a one-time deal, but a long-term business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this time’s supply is insufficient, we can simply bring enough the next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Brother Gaven who has the long-term vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s my short-sightedness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mistake, my mistake,” Bede admitted with genuine admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven possessed a unique charisma that made one forget his somewhat youthful face after a few moments of conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those who did business with him like Bede, the feeling was even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you think you’re dealing with a green, naive rookie, you’ll find that you’re the naive one, as he effortlessly takes advantage like getting wool from a sheep from your veteran hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you believe the other is a young, inexperienced fox, at the turn of a head, they’ve already built an empire many couldn’t in half a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t focus on petty profits; they eye the more distant future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you consider him an old, cunning fox, he spends generously like a rookie, constantly offering you benefits to the point where you feel somewhat ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you come to your senses and look back, he will have already reaped more than enough benefits from you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet you can’t muster even a hint of anger because his strategy has clearly included your share of the profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards such a person, one can only admire, still admire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely because they understood this that those crafty merchants risked making a trip for nothing and gathered at Blackwell uninvited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to take a gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just twenty days, Gaven established himself here, not only gaining a considerable Gnoll Tribe but also subduing a powerful Half-Ogre Barbarian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by this alone, how much profit they made from this trip no longer mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was important was that they’d discovered a new mine, one that merited further investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Bede and his group stayed at the Blackwell Tribe for a full three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For two of those days, under Gaven’s guidance, they walked around the mountains surrounding the Blackwell Tribe, looking everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not touring for scenic views.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Rocklands couldn’t be considered barren and treacherous land, they were definitely not synonymous with scenic beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were observing the terrain surrounding the Blackwell Tribe, assessing its value, and deciding how much effort it was worth to invest there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the outcome, their smiles bloomed like chrysanthemums, leaving no need for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as when they first assessed Gaven—his potential was limitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the last day, they sat together and listened to Gaven’s concepts and proposals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the previous time, Gaven didn’t make any excessive promises nor did he reveal all his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply gave a rough introduction to the future development and expansion direction of the Blackwell Tribe, leaving the rest to the merchants’ imaginations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Uncle Bede and his group arrived, they came in a grand procession, nearly thirty large carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they left, the carts were almost empty, with only a third filled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of that, only half contained iron ore from the Blackwell Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining half was a collection of scrap copper and iron scavenged from the Half-Ogres and other surrounding tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the faces of all the merchants was a look of satisfaction and anticipation, giving off a sense of a major profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goods they brought back with them barely covered the cost of their trip, but what was more important was that they had established a brand new trade route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To truly make money, they would have to wait until Gaven’s Gnoll Tribe developed to a certain level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before then, it would all be about additional investment, a necessary sacrifice for those aiming to make a substantial profit, and these experienced merchants were well aware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cost-free investment is what all merchants love to hear and see the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These merchants were both colleagues and competitors, each guarding their little abacus tightly, calculating what goods to bring and in what quantity for their next trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pondered how much they could trade from Gaven’s hands, which city to visit next, and with whom to sign supply and sales contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visit from Uncle Bede and his entourage gave Gaven a significant confidence boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confidence came from various aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, it was the opening of sales channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The promises made by Uncle Bede and his company were one thing, but their actual appearance was quite another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he ended up mining a large amount of ore but no merchants came to his door, would he really have to carry the ore all over the world looking for buyers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it wasn’t possible, but it was too draining of time and energy, and it would significantly slow down his expansion speed in the Rocklands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand was the food supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the thirty large carts, twenty-five were loaded with food, although much of it was hairy, moldy grain that had been stored for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to the Blackwell Gnolls, who had just recently crossed the threshold of famine, having something to eat was a blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they even care whether the grain was new or old?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Gaven wasn’t going to bake bread or steam buns for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything went into the pot with meat and vegetables, where the difference between new and old grain wasn’t that discernible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these supplies as a backup, Gaven’s previously conservative pace of expansion could now speed up appropriately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more precise, with these supplies, Gaven didn’t have to do much at all; he just needed to pile them up somewhere, and the gnolls would come knocking on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>",1402,"2026-06-06T12:33:11.057Z",1,"novelbin.me","da2f4cac48b960fa3700734ab86046bc0a4d73624362a6751b1401a81240bf94","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-57","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-55",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
