Chapter 168

Whether it's food or supernatural weapons, I have them, and the quantity is not small; how would you like to proceed with the trade?

Su Hao rode on Da Xiong Mao's back, stroking its soft fur, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

If he could exchange food for ore, it would undoubtedly be the most cost-effective thing for him.

Of course, there is still a precondition: we need to first determine the trade price.

If the Dwarf Tribe asks for an astronomical price, Su Hao would naturally not agree.

However, Tie Geda's reply greatly exceeded his expectations.

Su Hao, you're a straightforward person, and I won't feed you nonsense. If you're willing to use rice as trade material, we can exchange one ton of Black Iron Ore for ten tons of rice.

As for Second Rank Supernatural Bronze Ore and Third Rank Supernatural Silver Ore, if you want to use rice for trade, that's also possible, though the price will be a bit higher…

After quoting the price, Tie Geda on the other end of the phone couldn't help but show an expectant look, and his heart rate quickened a bit.

From a certain perspective, this trade could indirectly determine the life and death of many dwarves.

If a long-term trade relationship could be established with Su Hao, it would be equivalent to obtaining a long-term effective food source.

Although this wouldn't solve the food and clothing problem for all dwarves, let alone achieve free alcohol.

But as long as one can use a hundred tons of Black Iron Ore to trade with Su Hao for a thousand tons of rice.

Adding the Dwarf Tribe's original stockpile and eating sparingly, the tribe could go without worrying about food for a month or two.

If bronze ore and silver ore could also be used to trade for food, that would be even better.

However, Tie Geda dare not expect that much, after all, in the apocalypse, food and water are the most basic resources.

He didn't think anyone could casually produce several thousand tons of food for trade.

Even if the Flower Sprite Tribe were subdued, wanting to grow that much grain would still require a lot of time.

He wasn't even sure whether a hundred tons of Black Iron Ore could be exchanged for a thousand tons of grain.

If anyone wanted to trade grain with the Dwarf Tribe, even if they used Third Rank Supernatural items as trade goods, they would be reluctant to part with several thousand tons of grain.

Even if the supernatural items were excellent, they would not be willing to trade their own clansmen's lives.

On Tie Geda's side, he was still worried whether Su Hao would agree to such a price.

Upon hearing that price, Su Hao was completely stunned.

What the heck? One ton of First Rank Supernatural Black Iron Ore actually only needs ten tons of ordinary rice to obtain?

This also…

Damn cheap! Only now did Su Hao truly realize how valuable food is in the apocalypse.

Even First Rank Supernatural ore can be traded using ordinary rice.

Moreover, according to Tie Geda's meaning, even Second Rank Supernatural Bronze Ore and Third Rank Supernatural Silver Ore can be traded for ordinary rice if Su Hao is willing.

Recalling the living conditions in his own territory, he felt they were completely different from the Dwarf Tribe's world.

The Dwarf Tribe and other races, even ordinary rice, have to eat sparingly.

On the contrary, in Su Hao's territory, even First- and Second-Rank Supernatural fruits can be eaten straight from the crate, and discarding a bite is completely fine.

You can't eat it all, you simply can't finish it! While other races still worry about food, Su Hao has already achieved food and clothing freedom in the apocalypse, and he has now entered the stage of developing his territory.

Looking at the current situation, I can completely take out some ordinary rice to trade with other forces for energy crystals and other supplies.

Su Hao stroked his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.

For Su Hao, energy crystals are the most scarce resource.

Nothing else, as long as the quantity of energy crystals is sufficient, the Marvelous Soil's volume can be expanded to an adequate scale, combined with enough plant growth agents and a large number of Moonlight Apothecaries, arranging living-type robots to handle daily maintenance.

Even if Hua Yao and her companions don't need to pay too much attention to this, putting the rice planting area under trusteeship will continuously produce large amounts of rice for Su Hao.

Then Su Hao can take this rice to trade for even more energy crystals.

This is damn a zero-cost business, labor can almost be ignored! Thinking of this, Su Hao's grin couldn't be suppressed.

One ton of Black Iron Ore trading for ten tons of rice is no problem, so a hundred tons of Black Iron Ore would be a thousand tons of rice; you Dwarf Tribe should have a trade module, right?

Su Hao had no intention to haggle; the price was just too cheap, he couldn't bring himself to bargain further.

Under normal circumstances, one mu of land can harvest six to seven hundred kilograms of rice at once.

On Su Hao's territory, some Plant Guardian Supernaturals can increase yield; one mu of land can harvest one to two tons of rice per harvest, which should also be no problem.

Rice is just an ordinary plant; it doesn't even need a day to fully mature.

Not to mention a hundred tons, even 100,000 tons, for the Flower Sprite Tribe, would only take a day to accomplish.

Sure, sure, my communication bracelet already has a trade module; it's just that I need some time to adjust for a hundred tons of Black Iron Ore.

Hearing Su Hao so readily agree, Tie Geda felt both surprised and relieved, letting out a breath.

Based on his understanding of humanity, he originally thought they'd need to haggle a bit before finalizing this trade.

Based on his understanding of humanity, he originally thought he would need to haggle a bit before this deal could be finalized.

Unexpectedly, Su Hao was so straightforward, directly agreeing to trade one ton of black iron ore for ten tons of rice.

Moreover, Su Hao truly intended to trade a hundred tons of black iron ore in one go, not just talking; this greatly exceeded Tie Gedie's expectations.

In that case, the hundred tons of copper ore and hundred tons of silver ore that Su Hao mentioned aren't just empty talk, are they?

Thinking of this, Tie Gedie's heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit.

If copper ore and silver ore could also be used to trade for food, then the dwarves wouldn't have to worry too much about food for the coming period.

"Do you still want the copper ore and silver ore?"

"Of course, tell me your price!"

Su Hao smiled slightly; what he cared most about in this trade was the copper ore and silver ore, the black iron ore being merely incidental.

After all, black iron ore can only be used to manufacture First Rank Supernatural robots and First Rank Supernatural energy weapons; for Su Hao, it was merely a bargaining chip in the trade.

The energy weapons and robots made from copper alloy and silver alloy are comparatively more important to Su Hao.

He naturally could not abandon the more important copper and silver ores just because he had received a hundred tons of black iron ore.

I just don't know how the dwarven race will trade these two kinds of ore that are of a higher Supernatural Grade; surely they wouldn't still trade using ordinary rice, would they…
