Chapter 1642: Large Trade (1)

The stench on the beastfolk isn't a simple stink.

It's a sharp, acrid reek.

More like a biological warning, telling the other races nearby to stay away from the beastfolk, or they'll be attacked.

Once these beastfolk wash up and rinse the sweat off, they actually don't smell like much.

Yang Xiong came over, panting.

He didn't waste words, asking directly: "Here? How many? Regular deodorizing pills or the long-lasting ones?"

Regular deodorizing pills can remove the stench within 1 hour, market price roughly 1 silver coin.

Long-lasting deodorizing pills can eliminate the stench for a full day, price roughly 20 silver coins.

It's actually not cheap.

But the good thing is they aren't used often — only during combat, so it's perfectly acceptable.

"Five of each, how much?"

"Five of each, my ass? Bro, I'm giving them to you, just buy me an extra drink next time."

"That won't do, I don't want to drink more. How about I give you 2 gold coins?"

"2 gold coins, my ass! If you pull out money again I'm turning hostile, get lost! I still have to train."

"No way, I definitely can't let you take a loss for nothing."

"Take a loss, your ass. Get lost, get lost."

Yang Xiong refused to take the money.

Of course, this wasn't hypocrisy.

Among friends — especially close friends — small amounts of money really don't matter.

Treating a brother to a meal or a drink every now and then, and still charging for it?

1-2 gold coins is a lot, but that's for ordinary people.

Yang Xiong is now a lord, so of course he doesn't care about that little bit of money.

It's more like Yang Xiong handed Zhao Chi a cigarette, and Zhao Chi wanted to pay him for it.

Really unnecessary.

Then forget it.

Zhao Chi pulled out Experience Fruits: "No money for you then, take these Experience Fruits."

Yang Xiong laughed: "I've got plenty on my side, no need."

That left Zhao Chi completely dumbfounded.

Yang Xiong also has a lot of Experience Fruits?

Where did they come from?

He couldn't have grown them himself, right?

"Huh? You've got a lot?" Zhao Chi asked in surprise.

"Isn't that obvious? When Captain Li distributed the low-priced Experience Fruits, didn't your group get a quota? Then where did yours come from?"

Zhao Chi suddenly remembered — after he sold a large batch of Experience Fruits to Li Ruanyu, Li Ruanyu resold them to the other lords within the Jade Squad.

And at a low price.

Zhao Chi said: "Mine were handled by Su Qin, so I don't really know. How much did you pay?"

Yang Xiong said: "Damn, are you deliberately bringing up Su Qin to show off? I've got Lu Qing now too, I won't envy you."

Zhao Chi said helplessly: "What am I showing off? I really didn't know about this, seriously. How much did you pay?"

Yang Xiong looked suspicious: "You really didn't know? Our reserve group all gets them at 1 silver coin each, the regular group is 2 silver coins each, and squads are supposedly 3 silver coins each."

So that's how it is.

Li Ruanyu distributed them to the team at tiered prices.

Zhao Chi had previously sold Experience Fruits to Li Ruanyu in bulk at 2.5 silver coins each.

Looking at it this way, she still gave the newcomers quite a subsidy — 1 silver coin per Experience Fruit is really cheap.

And the 3 silver coins sold to the squads isn't expensive either.

After all, the market price fluctuates between 2-5 silver coins, so 3 silver coins can be considered cheap.

Zhao Chi reached two conclusions.

First: after the Experience Fruits were sold to Li Ruanyu, the beneficiaries were the entire Jade Squad.

After all, Experience Fruits aren't that plentiful right now, but when there's truly an explosive harvest later, Li Ruanyu will probably sell cheaply to other squads too.

Of course, selling to other squads she definitely wouldn't subsidize them.

The second conclusion was that Li Ruanyu didn't take the opportunity to get rich.

Even if she had added some markup, it would have been perfectly reasonable.

But she didn't.

Perhaps because she always looks after the lords in her own squad.

If selling to other squads, she'd probably add a little, right?

Whatever she was thinking.

Zhao Chi felt this woman was pretty good.

"Yang Xiong, take these, see if you have any?"

Zhao Chi pulled out the super-improved life potions given by Shangguan Ting.

He pulled out 20 bottles of each type and handed them to Yang Xiong.

Definitely worth more than the deodorizing pills.

Yang Xiong was indeed a man who knew his stuff:

He wiped his sweat, then scratched his head.

"Super Improved Elixir? Where'd you get that? Isn't that from the Phantom Squad? Did Wei Li give it to you?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry about who gave it. Our squad's short on them, right? Want one?"

Yang Xiong laughed.

He took it and stored it in his system space.

"I was planning to buy you an extra drink next time, but looks like that's not happening, haha."

Zhao Chi also laughed and said, "Alright, then just train hard. Once your constitution's up, your drinking capacity will follow."

Yang Xiong nodded. "I'm sure I can break through next month. I've got a feeling."

"Awesome! I'm heading out now, I'll come find you next time."

"Alright, see you."

Zhao Chi returned to his territory.

Gu Qing was still waiting for him in the same spot.

"My lord, you're back already? Did you buy the Deodorant Pills?"

"Got them. Here you go."

Gu Qing looked at the small pill in her hand. "Should I take it now? Which one?"

"Take the long-lasting one. We'll head to the exchange again in a bit and stock up on more."

"Okay!"

Deodorant Pills were small pills, a little smaller than ordinary pills.

Gu Qing often swallowed Zhao Chi's things, so swallowing was no problem for her.

She swallowed it on the spot.

After a moment, the smell on Gu Qing's body had indeed faded a great deal.

After a while longer, the fragrance was indeed completely gone.

Amazing!

But it was only normal.

After all, Life Elixirs could rapidly heal serious injuries, and Strength Pills could increase Strength by 1 point.

The effects of all items and skills were exactly as described.
