Chapter 881
Naji felt he was going crazy. He was just a small second-hand goblin merchant. If he caused trouble, at most he would die himself. Didn't expect Ang to actually take out a pot that could make his whole clan perish.
In the current Feilie Empire, anything involving chaos stones could potentially kill the whole clan, let alone Ang actually planting the chaos trees alive?
Are the chaos trees outside alive? Can they still bear chaos stones? If this news leaks out, 100 mage legions will rush over to surround this place.
Chaos stone is a powerful energy crystal. It can provide energy for constructs, airships, flying cars, magic crystal cannons, etc. The energy density is many times higher than magic crystals.
Of course, this wasn't the main thing. The main thing was that chaos stones could actually be planted? This kind of powerful energy crystal could actually be planted from the ground?
Energy method is a change, and the way energy is obtained can also cause a change.
If soul energy needs to be plundered, refined, or slept, the growth speed of the soul will be very slow.
But if a soul network is established, soul energy can be gathered continuously. Breaking through the dead black crystal is just around the corner. This is the change in the way of acquisition.
If the Empire can get this kind of tree and plant it everywhere, wouldn't it solve the energy problem? In the future, airships, flying cars, teleportation gates, heating, lighting, etc., can all be solved with chaos stones.
This kind of vision is too beautiful, making the entire Empire crazy, looking for chaos tree seeds everywhere.
Unfortunately, the Light Chamber of Commerce's protection of chaos trees was also tight. Before withdrawing, all the chaos trees on the farm were sprinkled with poison, most of them were poisoned to death, and the few that survived were also planted to death because they didn't understand the planting method.
Now on the black market, a living chaos tree has been speculated to 6 million magic crystals, and there is a market but no price. It is estimated that it will soon break through 10 million. This price is enough to induce people from the Light Chamber of Commerce to take risks and steal living tree seeds to sell.
Now Ang told him that the chaos trees outside were alive. Even if only one was alive, it was at least a treasure of 6 million magic crystals. Although he didn't look closely, Naji also knew that there were definitely more than one living tree outside.
Life-threatening. He was just a small merchant and didn't want to do this kind of work that would kill the whole clan.
Just as Naji stepped on the pedal to climb into the construct, Ang said: "Revenue, you, 5%."
Naji froze on the pedal. Countless numbers flashed in his mind, and his whole body went soft, sliding down from the pedal: "Re... really have 5% revenue? Give it to me?"
Ang nodded. As the main god of the God of Profiteers, even if he hadn't done business, he had seen how silver coins did business. Naturally, he knew that the best way to mobilize the enthusiasm of merchants was to share money.
"5% of 6 million is 300,000. Rising to 10 million, 5% is 500,000. Hiss—if there is more than one tree, 500,000 will double. Hehe, this pot doesn't seem too big. Done." Naji turned around excitedly, discovering that everyone was looking at him like a fool.
The monarch said: "We didn't say we wanted to sell the trees, just let you help with procurement and sales. Why are you so excited?"
"Hehe, hehe." Naji rubbed his palms: "Long-term is better. If you really give me a chaos tree, I wouldn't dare to take it out to sell. I'm just taking stock of fixed assets. If there is one tree, we have 10 million in fixed assets. If there are two, we have 20 million. 5% is 1 million magic crystals. Enough, enough. As for how to increase value and cash out, that's a matter for the future."
Looking at Naji's familiar actions, the monarch couldn't help but ask: "Are all goblins as shrewd as you?"
Naji hurriedly said: "Of course not. Many goblins are dead-brained, only knowing alchemy, not shrewd at all. Letting them do business will definitely lose money."
Listening to Naji's angry tone, it seemed like he had been cheated by dead-brained goblins.
Speaking of this, Naji's tone changed, asking: "Which of you two is the big boss?"
Wrench shouted dissatisfiedly from the side: "Why is it two? Clearly there are three 'people' here. Can't I be the big boss?"
Naji smiled and pointed to the position in front of the monarch: "If you dare to stand here, I will believe you might be the big boss."
Wrench looked at the monarch, then looked at the position Naji pointed to, muttered, but finally didn't dare to stand over.
Just kidding, Naji had traveled north and south for so many years. Who could not see what status they had?
The monarch pointed to Ang: "He is your boss."
Naji immediately heard the clue. He is "your" boss, not "our" boss. The difference here is very big.
"Boss, what do you need me to do?" Naji turned to Ang and asked.
Ang said a lot of things, mainly some fertilizers, tools, utensils, raw materials, etc. How to say the planting technology on the farm? For Ang, it belonged to the relatively primitive. Drip irrigation, slow fertilizer, topdressing, leaf application, supplementary light, etc., none of them existed.
Ang needed a large amount of material fertilizer tools to conduct comparison experiments, only then could it be possible to increase the yield of chaos stones.
"All agricultural supplies? How much money can this be worth?" Naji was a bit disappointed.
He thought it was some big business. Because of innate limitations, agricultural supplies could never be expensive. Because if agricultural supplies were expensive, agricultural products would become expensive accordingly. If they were expensive, many people couldn't afford to eat, and then starved to death.
Staple food must be cheap enough for everyone to afford, so the corresponding agricultural supplies must also be cheap. The taste of staple food is often not the most important; unit cost is the most important.
"This, buy one." Ang pointed to Naji's logging construct.
Naji's spirit lifted: "You want to buy this? This was specially customized by me, added dragon-pattern steel armor, various mithril wire-inlaid magic patterns, soil-covering forging gem gain piercing enchantment, very expensive. If it's just for logging, you can buy the simplest version, only needing one-twentieth of the price."
Ang thought for a moment and nodded: "Two."
Naji took the 120 chaos stones Ang planted in these few days and left. As an energy crystal, the energy density of chaos stones is about ten times that of magic crystals. In the territory of the Light Chamber of Commerce, the exchange between chaos stones and magic crystals basically maintains ten to one.
But the Feilie Empire was beaten into a stress response. Now people in the Empire are very interested in all commodities, gossip, information, etc., involving the Light Chamber of Commerce, and are even more curious about this kind of chaos stone that grows from trees.
The chaos stones that were originally ten to one were speculated to twenty to one on the black market. 120 chaos stones were equivalent to 2,400 magic crystals, more than enough to buy two primitive logging constructs.
On the contrary, the monarch didn't understand: "What are you buying logging constructs for?"
"For King," Ang said.
"For me?" The monarch was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had said that thing was "good for hacking people." This child wouldn't be thinking of buying him one because of this, would he?
The monarch felt a warmth in his heart and said: "Then I don't want the simple version. I want a very expensive customized version, more expensive than Naji's."
Although he swore to want a more expensive one, but when Naji bought the construct back, Ang used his gaze to explode the chaos stones, letting the chaotic force splash onto the construct, the monarch couldn't help it anymore: "What are you doing? Modifying it? Why do I feel the chaotic force is seeping into the construct?"
