Chapter 1960: The Risk of Selling Harmful-Wither Grass

As soon as the Waist-Broken Wolf mentioned the guidance price on the APP, Xia Qing became excited.

Why excited? Because she had considered this point long ago and had also formulated a contingency plan, guarding against this shrewd wolf turning back on its word.

The exchange agreement she formulated after careful consideration was already approaching perfection; the partner couldn't find loopholes, turn back on its word afterwards, and not compensate the points!

This pleasure of controlling the direction of the negotiation could only be experienced by her mentor—the iron rooster Yang Jin. If the content of the transaction didn't involve the secrets of the Waist-Broken Wolf, Xia Qing would really want to talk to Yang Jin about this matter when calling at night.

Chatting about this with Yang Jin, the happiness would double!

Xia Qing coughed to clear her throat, took out the poise of being calm and unhurried in controlling the negotiation, and bargained with the Waist-Broken Wolf unhurriedly.

"Waist-Broken, you're right, the official quotation for 16 Harmful-Wither Grass plants indeed exceeds the total price of a laptop and a mobile phone."

"Awoo!"

The Waist-Broken Wolf immediately stepped forward to rummage through Xia Qing's protective suit pocket, letting Xia Qing take out the point card to transfer money to it, compensating for its losses.

Xia Qing held the Waist-Broken Wolf's big paw unhurriedly. "Waist-Broken, don't be in a hurry first; if it's me who should compensate you points, I'll definitely transfer them to you."

"Last year, at the python pool on Mountain No. 55, it took us more than ten minutes to draft the exchange terms. Did I mention at that time that Harmful-Wither Grass is a scarce, high-value herb?"

The Waist-Broken Wolf, which couldn't pull back its big paw, was unconvinced, pointed at the mobile phone screen with its other paw, and howled.

"The official guidance price given on the internet is based on the value and scarcity of the medicinal herb. The basis for formulating prices in actual exchanges between the two parties is not only the value and scarcity of the medicinal herb, but also other factors."

Xia Qing guided this smart wolf to think about key issues. "Waist-Broken, why did you bring me here to talk about Harmful-Wither Grass?"

The Waist-Broken Wolf looked at Xia Qing seriously, without opening its mouth to ask.

Xia Qing answered for it. "Because Harmful-Wither Grass can only grow by unpolluted spring water, and unpolluted spring water is a high-value, scarce survival resource. You don't want any creature other than me to know that there is unpolluted spring water on Mountain No. 55. Otherwise, a large number of humans will break into Mountain No. 55 and compete with the wolf pack for this territory."

The Waist-Broken Wolf's expression became even more serious.

Xia Qing let go of its big paw and began to list specific events to prove that her argument was correct.

"During the first harmful rain ten days ago, the Snake King led the snake swarm to invade Mountain No. 55, and the handsome giant wolf came to find me for support for the Northern Wolf Pack. In order to drive away the giant pythons, I, along with Little Wolf Sister, Big Guy, and the others, filled the python pool."

"After the water level rose, the three large and two small, totaling five Harmful-Wither Grass plants growing in the cave connected to the python pool water system were submerged. Right?"

The Waist-Broken Wolf nodded its furry big head, admitting that Xia Qing was right.

Xia Qing helped it smooth the fur on its leg that she had messed up, and continued to reason with it calmly. "When I proposed that the five Harmful-Wither Grass plants might not survive, so I wanted to send them to Territory No. 7 to exchange with Third Brother, you refused my proposal in order to keep the secret of the wolf pack territory. Right?"

The serious Waist-Broken Wolf nodded again.

Xia Qing continued to ask, "Now you know that according to the guidance price given by the official, the value of those five Harmful-Wither Grass plants exceeds three million points. If the cave is submerged again, will you exchange the Harmful-Wither Grass you scoop out with Third Brother?"

The Waist-Broken Wolf kept its mouth shut, motionless.

After stating the facts, Xia Qing gave the conclusion: "You would rather let the Harmful-Wither Grass worth over three million points melt into water than exchange it with Third Brother, because you don't trust him and don't want him to know the wolf pack's secrets." Xia Qing continued to analyze, "You want to keep the secret, so you have no way to publicly sell your Harmful-Wither Grass, so you can't sell it for 1 million points per plant."

The Waist-Broken Wolf stared at Xia Qing with its amber eyes, thinking seriously.

Xia Qing didn't open her mouth again, waiting quietly for this evolved wolf to figure it out. This wasn't a very complex principle or logic; it was impossible for this brain-domain evolved wolf, which could even study legal provisions and find loopholes, not to be able to figure it out.

After a full two minutes, the Waist-Broken Wolf lifted its paw again to light up the quotation on the mobile phone, then swiped its paw at Xia Qing and howled.

Xia Qing smiled and explained the business logic to this wolf word by word. "What I said is: because you don't have a safe sales channel, your Harmful-Wither Grass can't be sold for 1 million points per plant."

"But I have a safe sales channel, so my Harmful-Wither Grass can be sold for 1 million points per plant. Therefore, the 6 leaves you cut from my Harmful-Wither Grass are worth 300,000 points."

"Waist-Broken, I am selling the Harmful-Wither Grass in your territory externally by pretending it was planted in my own territory. Even if the transaction content is leaked, the humans outside will only know that there is unpolluted spring water in my territory, letting a large number of people compete with me for the territory, and will not bring danger to the Northern Wolf Pack territory. This is the value of the existence of a second-hand dealer."

Xia Qing, sitting cross-legged on the floor, looked at the evolved wolf squatting in front of her with her pitch-black eyes and asked seriously, "Waist-Broken, did I tell you or not: after the sixteen Harmful-Wither Grass plants in the cave belong to me, we will split the Harmful-Wither Grass we cultivate together in half, you are responsible for protecting the Harmful-Wither Grass, and I am responsible for planting and selling?"

The Waist-Broken Wolf nodded. It remembered, which was why it actively learned how to plant Harmful-Wither Grass from Xia Qing.

Xia Qing continued to introduce, "I take such a big risk to help you sell Harmful-Wither Grass, and also split half of the points with you. Is my fee high?"

The Waist-Broken Wolf's big head sank, lying on the spotless floor of the laboratory, looking at Xia Qing without saying a word.

Xia Qing didn't even eat Yang Jin's bitter-meat scheme, let alone the Waist-Broken Wolf's. She continued to ask, "Waist-Broken, friendship is friendship, business is business. Tell me, is my fee high? If you think it's high, you can not hand the Harmful-Wither Grass to me to sell, and you can also not cooperate with me. You plant it yourself, find a buyer yourself, and exchange the Harmful-Wither Grass for points."

The Waist-Broken Wolf no longer looked at Xia Qing, but turned to look at the laboratory that belonged to it.

Xia Qing understood its meaning. "Even if you learn how to extract effective components from Harmful-Wither Grass and make Harmful-Wither Grass into medicine, without sales channels and trusted buyers, you can't sell it and can only keep it for your own use."

The Waist-Broken Wolf turned its head again, not looking at Xia Qing or the laboratory, putting on a posture of refusing to communicate.

This guy started to play the rogue.

Xia Qing delayed her evening training time to bargain with it about these things; how could she let it muddle through? "Waist-Broken, will you hand the medicine you make from Harmful-Wither Grass to our clinic and let Zhang Shi use it to treat patients?"

When Xia Qing mentioned this, the Waist-Broken Wolf's ears immediately stood up, and it turned around to cover its mouth with its big paw, then pointed to the first-aid bag at Xia Qing's waist and howled.

"Old Four asked me to go to the Eastern Evolution Forest to treat the jackal the day before yesterday. I used my own medicine, so the income naturally belongs to me and doesn't involve the clinic's share. However..."

Xia Qing's eyes were bright, her upper body leaned forward, making a gesture as if she had a secret major event to say. The Waist-Broken Wolf also immediately leaned forward, looking at her with eager eyes.

"After I went over, I found that Old Four had already used medicine to give the jackal preliminary treatment. Next time you see Sister Ten, ask her to see if Old Four's medicine was taken from our clinic's external and internal medicine. If it was, the medical expenses Old Four collected must belong to our clinic."

The Waist-Broken Wolf's eyes lit up, and the human and the wolf grinned and laughed happily at the same time. ===== CHAPTER 1961 =====
