Chapter 1463

Right after that, he contacted Zhao Cang.

Zhao Cang took a while before replying.

From his tone, he was very busy.

Zhao Cang 【We can sell more Golden Sandalwood, but the price won't be too cheap】

Zhao Chi 【That's fine, go ahead and say it】

Zhao Cang 【After all, Golden Sandalwood has a very long growth cycle, and we used quite a few Growth Talismans to grow them this big. I can take it upon myself to sell to you, but the price needs to be discussed with the family】

Zhao Chi 【Can we just go by the market price?】

Zhao Cang 【The market price is of course fine, but it'll be too expensive. How about you wait until the clan head and the others finish their fight, then I'll go discuss it — we should be able to get it cheaper】

Zhao Chi 【That doesn't matter, just quote me the market price. How many can you sell me?】

Zhao Cang 【46 silver coins per log, I can sell you 4,000 logs】

More expensive than Zhao Jing's price?

Zhao Cang handles things very steadily.

If he says it's the market price, then there probably shouldn't be any problem.

In that case, Zhao Jing this time really didn't overcharge — 6 silver coins cheaper than the market price.

6 silver coins cheaper per log, 500 logs means 30 gold coins cheaper — that's quite a lot.

This really is a first.

Probably since the last rescue, he is still very grateful.

But Zhao Chi isn't short on money now, there's no need to take advantage of them.

Toward the Zhao family, he also feels some gratitude.

Buying from the market costs this price anyway; rather than letting someone else make the money, might as well let the Zhao family earn it.

Zhao Chi 【Price doesn't matter, can the quantity be a bit more?】

Zhao Cang 【What do you need this for? Is it that grain merchant of yours?】

What grain merchant?

The grain merchant is Zhao Chi himself.

But, if you put it that way it's not wrong either — if Zhao Chi wants it, then the grain merchant wants it.

Zhao Chi 【Yes, it's the grain merchant who wants it】

Zhao Cang 【Alright then, I can sell you 6,000 logs. If you want more, I'll have to discuss it with the family】

Zhao Chi 【Sure, 6,000 logs it is, 46 silver coins per log】

Zhao Cang 【Good. When will the next batch of grain be available? I need to plan ahead】

Zhao Chi 【Early next month there should be 3,000 tons arriving, then at the end of the month. The end-of-month batch will be a lot】

Zhao Cang 【Understood. I'll talk to Zhao Jing about the Golden Sandalwood right now — he may not have stock on hand and will need to cut some fresh】

Zhao Chi 【Hold on, Third Brother. I need to confirm with that grain merchant first and see what he thinks】

Zhao Cang 【Mm, alright. After all, with such a large amount involved, it really does need to be confirmed in advance. I'll wait for your news】

Zhao Chi 【Okay】

Zhao Chi currently only knows that Golden Sandalwood is a rare material.

But he's not yet sure what the improvement effect actually is.

So he's just asking first.

Now he knows the family can sell 6,000 logs; if the effect is good, he'll buy directly.

A carpenter is actually a bit like a tailor.

Also relying on craftsmanship.

This way, Qi Yue can put her four arms to good use.

He called Qi Yue over and started crafting directly.

Without Zhao Chi's dedicated carpentry shop, Zhao Chi could only squeeze out a female carpenter from the carpentry shop and use her workbench to craft.

That female carpenter left happily — after all, this counts as a holiday.

He shifted his enhancement points to efficiency, activated the Swift Work Talisman, and chose to craft a wooden cart.

【Please select specifications】

【1. Small — 3 hours】

【2. Medium — 10 hours】

【3. Large — 30 hours】

The crafting time for a large wooden cart really is very long; if he improves it on top of that, the time will be even longer.

After all, a large wooden cart really is very big, so a long time is perfectly reasonable.

He's only verifying the material right now, so a small wooden cart will do.

【Please select base material】

【1. 20 Wood】

【2. 20 Golden Sandalwood】

Of course, option two.

All selections complete.

Qi Yue's four arms went into action all at once — hammer, chisel, saw, axe — working simultaneously.

Wood shavings flew everywhere.

Soon, the first Golden Sandalwood small cart was finished.

The effect of the Speed-Work Talisman hasn't expired yet—immediately improve.

【The current product still has additional unallocated improvement points. Configure them now?】

As expected, it appeared!

No problem, click configure.

Once again, the various improvement options for the wooden cart appear before his eyes.

【Please select improvement direction】

【Wooden Cart Improvement Points】 10 points

【1. Movement Speed 5%】 10 points

【2. Terrain 5%】 10 points

【3. Load Capacity 20%】 10 points

【4. Durability 20%】 5 points

【5. Comfort 20%】 1 point

【6. Handling 20%】 1 point

As expected, there are an extra 10 improvement points.

That's everything!

Spend 5 technology improvement points to transfer data, maxing out the load capacity improvement option.

【Your improvements are as follows】:

【3. Load Capacity 20%】 ×10

【Confirm?】

Confirm!

【Congratulations, your territory already has mastered the manufacturing technique for the "All-Terrain Overload Speed Transport Cart"】

Good, good, good—the name changed again.

As long as he doesn't have to name it himself, it's fine.

Continue crafting—at least make this little cart first.

Soon, the Speed-Work Talisman's time expired.

A brand-new small wooden cart is born.

【Name】 All-Terrain Overload Speed Transport Cart

【Specification】 Small

【Durability】 1000 points

【Full Load】 600 kilograms
