This also means that their smelting loss rate will not exceed 50%.

But this 50% is the loss from processing raw ore into fine materials, which is indispensable.

Cheng Shen had already taken it into account when estimating the price.

However, Eugene's loss rate is directly added to the yield rate of fine materials...

As soon as he spoke, Cheng Shen's expression began to look unnatural. When he heard that he was planning to include the hoarding cost in the transaction, Cheng Shen quickly interrupted.

"Well, I think our friends have figured out why."

Cheng Shen said softly.

Then he glanced at Eugene with complicated eyes.

Seeing that he still had some unfinished ideas and was boasting, Cheng Shen seemed to see an evil capitalist rising up.

He couldn't help but wonder that maybe it was time to build street lights in the territory...

"...Just tell me how much food you want to exchange for!"

Tu Guan said with a confused and uneasy look in his eyes.

It seems that he did not understand Eugene's value conversion that was deliberately mixed with professional jargon.

But at this moment, I instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Five hundred buckets."

Cheng Shen said after summarizing his psychological expectations.

If Eugene's calculations were followed, he would even want to lower the price to one hundred buckets, exchanging grain for ore raw materials at a ratio close to one to one.

But that was too much.

Cheng Shen was afraid that the other party would fall out...

"It's a very reasonable price," he repeated.

"Five hundred buckets..."

Tu Guan looked like he was relieved, as if the price had not exceeded his bottom line.

I just don’t know whether they didn’t have a high bottom line or were frightened by Eugene’s advance preparation...

Tu Can turned back and glanced at the wild girl, who was also shocked at the moment. She didn't expect that a seemingly simple exchange of supplies could involve so many things, and her clear eyes were filled with confusion for a moment.

Seeing Tu Guan's signal, she quickly came back to her senses and nodded slightly.

"Okay, that's the price!"

Tu Guan immediately said harshly.

"I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement."

Cheng Shen smiled.

"but……"

He hesitated and drew out his voice.

A group of people from the Gray Earth Tribe opposite suddenly became nervous, fearing that he would use various excuses to lower the price again.

Cheng Shen smiled softly, "Don't be nervous. I want to say that it is difficult to collect such a large amount of food in a short period of time. Why don't you stay with me for three days first so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord?"

."

Three days.

Cheng Shen's own output alone would definitely not be enough to collect all the food.

But he has a huge platform like the society behind him, and has the support of thousands of survivors. Even if the amount of food trade that each person can provide is limited, the total amount will be quite huge.

"Three days, that's fine..." Tu Can looked back at the girl, and then said sincerely: "We will bear the consumption of these three days ourselves!"

Even if Cheng Shen doesn't say anything, he will make corresponding requests.

It is not easy for them to reach this trade node.

They have to pass through the pale hills filled with monsters and the dangerous blood plains. The battles along the way have exhausted the tribesmen. If they go back directly like this, they may be wiped out before they get halfway through.

"Of course I won't let you spend money on my territory."

Cheng Shen smiled calmly.

Later.

He personally arranged for the Gray Earth people to move in.

There was a lack of consideration before.

Furthermore, Cheng Shen did not expect that local caravans would come to trade so soon.

There is no building like a post station built in the trade market.

But it happened that the completed arena was still empty, and there were separate rooms to accommodate distinguished guests, so the caravan was allowed to stay first. There were eleven rooms in total. Fortunately, the rooms were spacious enough for two people to live there without being too crowded.

If possible, Cheng Shen even thought of bringing them into the territory.

Let them get in touch with more satisfied residents and experience the amazing benefits of his territory.

Maybe, we can also recruit a group of Gray Earth tribesmen to join...

All of these guys are powerful combat units, even the weakest one has leader-level strength.

As the leader of the caravan, Tuguan is even stronger than Aljieka, and even Cheng Shen can't see his attributes.

This shows that his level is at least ten levels higher than mine.

The other person whose attributes he couldn't see was also a taciturn and strong man. He was not like Tu Gu. He had a giant python wrapped around his body and showed an astonishing momentum.

But Cheng Shen accidentally saw a green wolf head tattoo on his back, which looked like a living thing. The tattoo even glanced at him.

In other words, this caravan has no ill intentions towards him.

Otherwise, Cheng Shen deeply doubted that if they attacked his territory, even if he summoned all his troops and cooperated with the defense towers, it would be difficult to withstand them.

And this was one of his concerns for not bringing the caravan to his territory.

Everything is well arranged.

Cheng Shen said to the earthen pot: "You can take a relaxing stroll in the market these days. If you like something, just take it and deduct it from the transaction amount afterwards. Of course, the price will definitely be favorable!"

"We don't lack anything except food."

Tu Guan said in a deep voice.

The implication is that food is extremely important to them, and they will never waste the resources to buy food in exchange for something insignificant.

Cheng Shen smiled and did not refute.

It is true that the Gray Earth Tribe is powerful, but their equipment and living utensils are extremely crude.

He saw that the best weapon in their hands was just a battle ax ground from a piece of wild flame stone.

Wild flame stone is an excellent material.

Not very precious.

But a complete piece of wild flame stone the size of a washbasin is very rare.

If it were in Cheng Shen's hands, he would be able to make at least seven or eight excellent weapons with the best attributes.

But if it falls into their hands, it can only be said to be a waste of natural resources...

Of course, more Gray Earth tribesmen do not have weapons. It seems that their fighting methods do not rely on weapons.

However, does not relying on weapons necessarily mean that you don’t like using them?

Cheng Shen's expression was subtle.

He could tell from the fact that the Gray Earth Tribe was not good at smelting metals. They were quite backward in the field of technological development.

Isn't this a potential trading market?

"Lord, Lord Lord..."

Tu Guan spoke with some difficulty at this time.

"Just call me 'Orange'."

Cheng Shen said.

"Orange?...Well, I want to trouble you with something. My people haven't eaten since the morning battle..."

Tu Guan’s expression was twisted.

"No problem, I'll prepare food for you right now. Speaking of which, I didn't greet you well enough."

Cheng Shen interrupted and laughed before he could finish.

"……Thanks."

Tu Guan breathed out and thanked him sincerely. Due to Eugene's influence, his poor impression of Cheng Shen suddenly changed.
Chapter completed!
