Harmony Village, Warehouse District.

There was a glimmer of light in the torch-lit storeroom, where a dull portal was taking shape. Zhou Qingfeng stood in front of the portal, waiting for the last batch of trading materials to arrive.

In the boy's mind, the succubus was chuckling, "Honey, thank you for providing the green crystal, I wish you a good dream tonight." I also look forward to you sending more and better soul crystals next time, and everything you want will be satisfied. ”

The laughter is sultry and reverberates.

Zhou Qingfeng closed his eyes slightly, and there were already a large number of pots and pans and other daily necessities in front of him - after the idea of taking the service industry was launched, he found that he greatly underestimated the cumbersomeness of this matter. It's not just food and drink that can serve the uncles who spend money well.

Building a house is a simple matter that can be completed as long as there are enough manpower and material resources. But it's really annoying to train a group of catering service personnel. There is nothing lacking in the Black Forest, and local procurement and manufacturing are very expensive, so it is better to let the succubus get it.

Rubio, Seth, Healy, Borg Sr., Inisa, a bunch of people who have a headache for all sorts of new things. Zhou Qingfeng's emergency training courses have never stopped, but in the end, the problem is still solved by spending money to hire a group of skilled workers from Cold Wind City.

"The only good news now is that we have a low cost of goods and a fast return of funds." Zhou Qingfeng comforted himself silently in his heart - after the news of the elven ruins came out, the entire northern land was in a sensation.

There is no convenient information and media in the Otherworld, but the popularity of this matter can be known by going to the tavern in the village that has not yet been fully built.

In just one month, more than two hundred adventurers ran over from Coldwind City and rushed towards the elven ruins occupied by the Magru tribe.

There are rich and poor adventurers. The poor take a knife and go directly into the forest to fight for their lives, and it is generally difficult to come out alive, and even if they come out, there will be no gain. The rich try to form teams and raise as many people and supplies as possible, and act collectively.

Rich or poor, the only place in the Black Forest that can accommodate adventurers is Zhou Qingfeng's Harmony Village. Eating, drinking, and sleeping have to rely on him to solve the problem, which brings a large number of passengers to the village under construction, and also brings huge benefits.

A pound of ground fine wheat costs only two or three copper coins in the grain-producing south. But when you get to the Northland, the price has to be multiplied by ten. If you want to transport it to the remote Black Forest, the price will increase even more.

Zhou Qingfeng used the power of the succubus to transmit a large amount of grain, and the price of each pound of wheat flour was only five copper coins - demons were born with the ability to cast spells, and the succubus Medis was even better at it as a businessman. Please send it, and the price is cheap, too.

Just selling flour is enough to make Zhou Qingfeng make a lot of money. He used the cheap food he got to not only control the lifeblood of the human settlements in the Black Forest, but also provide abundant food for the adventurers who came here to make a fortune.

This is an incomparable advantage for Zhou Qingfeng.

Even if someone understands what Zhou Qingfeng is doing, there is no way to grab business with him. After all, high-quality soul crystals are too rare and too precious in the world of sword and magic - if you look at it from Inisa's point of view, Zhou Qingfeng's exchange of soul crystals for food is definitely a big loss.

However, Zhou Qingfeng is not without trouble. He needed not only food, but also salt, oil, vegetables, paper, candles, and all kinds of daily necessities. These things are not produced in the Black Forest at all, and they have to be transported abroad.

However, the supply is not endless.

On the contrary, the Otherworldly food production is low. Any commodity is produced by handicrafts, the efficiency is very poor, and the quality is unstable.

Zhou Qingfeng bought all the grain that could be mobilized in a certain city in the south at one time. Although the succubus promised to give him a different place to get food, there was a limit to the total amount.

Feed up to 2,000 people.

If we want to engage in development, we can only do it on the basis of such a small population.

Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the warehouse and said to Rubio, who was waiting outside: "The grain is inside, count and put it in storage." ”

The old profiteer looked into the warehouse and smiled. He said happily: "Master, you are really amazing. With such means to get food, there will certainly be no one in the Black Forest who will be your opponent. ”

"The Black Forest is too small and too remote, I just want to build on it and grow it, and I will definitely go to other places in the future. But I can only feed 2,000 people at most. Among them were at least five or six hundred foreign adventurers. ”

"In fact, if the per capita ration is lowered, we can feed 3,000 people."

"Raise three thousand emaciated waste?" Zhou Qingfeng blocked Rubio back with a word, "Two thousand is two thousand, let's make some money first." Hopefully there won't be any trouble during this time. ”

Speaking of trouble, Rubio had to cough and remind, "Sir, Mr. Tambos is back." ”

"Oh......, is his adventure with his teacher over? How's it going? ”

"It's bad, quite a few people died, only six came back. His Excellency Fabro, the teacher of Tambos, who also lives in our village, said he wanted to see you. There are some things that cannot be avoided, greedy people are there, and if we don't provoke them, they will come to us.

Luckily, you didn't go straight to Coldwind to develop. If we go there, we won't even have room to resist. Those greedy magnates will want to smell the blood like monsters, and whatever you do, you will be swallowed in one bite. ”

Rubio's words made Zhou Qingfeng's heart heavy. He silently stared at the night sky, and could experience the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of the 'law of the jungle' in this world. There's only one way to solve this problem, and that's to get stronger.

In his mind, the evil god Ciric spoke, "Boy, maybe we can help each other. ”

Zhou Qingfeng frowned, and his vigilance arose.

Ciric continued: "We hate and watch out for each other, and it doesn't do anyone any good. It's better to take a step back from each other. I have gathered my believers to support you, and you have allowed them to plant a church in the village.

I've recently regained some strength, and I've been able to contact the believers in Coldwind City. I intend to pick one voter from among them. This may not be enough to get you out of all your troubles, but it can give you some buffer time.

I know you don't trust me, and there should be other ways to solve the current problem, but why not add more leverage and insurance? We can take a long-term view of our struggles with each other. ”

Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Ciric, you can do this secretly, why do you want to tell me?" Can I stop you from starting an underground church? ”

"But I don't want an underground church, I want an open church. I don't want you to interfere with this, and I also need to give believers a stable place to live. Ciric explained.

Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a while and said, "I agree to your request, but I have the conditions. First, you must not have more than 20 members in your church. Second, your church is not allowed to develop believers on my territory. Third, I have the right to let your people get out of here at any time. ”

"Deal." Ciric happily agreed.

One person and one god have been fighting for a long time, and finally cooperate again.

Just one day later, a petite girl in a tight leather coat and a long whip around her waist arrived in a horse-drawn carriage to Harmony Village. She found Zhou Qingfeng with a big grin, and shouted straight to the point: "Hey, you are Victor. Hugo? My Lord has made me serve you. ”

The girl with a convex and backward curve is only a height of one meter and a half, small and small, but curvy, there should be everything, or an over-standard configuration.

But she snapped her whip and cried out playfully and triumphantly, "But I don't like to serve the weak, or we will be better than whom?" If you lose, come and serve this 'Queen.'" ”

Looking at the little girl's innocent and cute baby face, Zhou Qingfeng asked seriously: "Cirek, are you kidding?" Is this your constituent? It's a neurosis. ”

The god of murder didn't speak for a long time, and it took a long time for him to squeeze out a sentence: "Bear with me, that's all I can inspire now." ”
