A portion of honey-glazed roasted meat costs 50 copper coins.
20 gold coins is 200,000 copper coins.
Chen Yu’s face immediately darkened as he recalculated.
It really was 4,000 portions.
“Brother-in-law, you’re good at math,” Chen Yu said with a grin. “Then let’s not grill meat anymore. How about we use other resources to compensate?”
It would take him ages to make 4,000 portions of roasted meat.
Was this a death sentence?
Chen Yu had truly not expected that the total value of the meat he had in stock, when made into honey-glazed roasted meat, was only about 40 gold coins.
He had thought he was incredibly rich.
Turns out,
The gold coins he obtained from the treasure chest were his greatest wealth. From now on, he would never again say that opening treasure chests for gold coins was a futile endeavor.
He glanced at the resources in his hand.
He wasn’t particularly keen on selling attribute-based resources to others.
He still had use for the basic resources.
“Do you want mole rat hides?”
Chen Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up.
These things were of no use to him. Even if they were to be useful in the future, Kuka could produce forty to fifty per day,
So there was no shortage.
“Sure.”
Roy was not picky.
He could accept any resource.
“See if you think this quality is worth anything.”
Chen Yu took out a complete mole rat hide from the warehouse and held it in his hand.
“Hiss, the quality is quite good,” Roy touched the mole rat fur with his hand. “It’s extremely intact. This must have been dissected with a perfect-grade dagger, right?”
“Brother-in-law truly has a discerning eye!”
“Noble lords in the city would probably like mole rat hides of this quality, although they’re a bit small. About 50 copper coins.”
50 copper coins!!!
Chen Yu looked at Roy in astonishment.
Damn.
He never would have thought that the hides were the most valuable part of the mole rat.
If not for Chen Yu’s Greed Crit, a mole rat dissection would yield only meat, and its value wouldn't be as high as its hide.
“Brother-in-law, they’re all yours.”
Clang.
Roy stared dumbfounded at the pile of mole rat hides before him.
He was stunned.
This—
This was outrageously excessive.
“There are over 800 mole rat hides here, all for you,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “I’ll count them as 800, which makes it 4 gold coins.”
“Ah…”
800 pieces?
Had they wiped out an entire mole rat encampment?
“As for the rest…” Chen Yu pondered for a moment and whispered, “Do you accept Ice Pure Spring Water?”
“Huh?”
Roy’s heart trembled.
“Ice water, yes, we accept it. Do you have ice water?! In Ice Water City, the price is 1 silver coin per milliliter. How much do you have?”
He had lost out.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu’s heart sank.
No wonder Kuka was so happy about eating honey when he had fifty mole rats. One hundred—
“I want to go out and play with that Chen Yu,” Illya said with a giggle. “That person seems quite interesting, and the meat he makes is especially delicious.”
“How will you find him?” Ilena asked helplessly.
“Reef tag.”
“Huh?”
Ilena, looking completely bewildered, watched as Illya gave a sly smile.
“Heh, I’ve set up a location tracker.”
…
Cave camp.
Roy looked at Chen Yu with an envious gaze.
This was the princess’s affection!
Look at the abundance of resources. Even he, a Silver-ranked mage, felt a pang of jealousy.
“Hey, brother-in-law,” Chen Yu whispered. “Do you know the price range for Lava Fruit and Flame Fruit?”
Suddenly, Roy felt his head was about to explode.
“Don’t tell me you have them.”
“How could I?” Feeling Roy’s shock, Chen Yu grinned. “I’m just curious and asking. I think I heard someone mention it last time.”
He couldn’t reveal any more.
If he continued like this, even if Roy was a bit dazed by all the ‘brother-in-law’ calls, he might still develop greedy intentions.
He was asking out of curiosity, wanting to know how much wealth he currently possessed.
Roy breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chen Yu possessed both Flame Fruit and Lava Fruit, he might not have been able to control himself and would have resorted to robbery.
“Lava Fruit is about 5 gold coins. Flame Fruit…” Roy paused for a moment, then sighed. “I remember the last auction, a Flame Fruit was bid up to 500 gold coins.”
Chen Yu instantly clenched his fist.
500 gold coins.
He still had a full 49 Flame Fruits, which amounted to over 20,000 gold coins.
He also had several thousand Lava Fruits.
No!
500 gold coins per Flame Fruit.
Did Er Gou eat it?
“Hei Dou, beat him hard!” Chen Yu shouted back. “You must beat him into submission, but absolutely do not kill him.”
500 gold coins!
It couldn’t just be gone like this. He had to earn back the gold coins from Er Gou!
Roy twitched the corner of his mouth.
He felt a bit sorry for the kobold tied to the torture device.
He didn’t pay much attention to it, though.
If anyone was to blame, it was the kobold for bullying men and dominating women.
He deserved it!
Shifting his gaze away from the kobold, Roy looked down at the Ice Pure Spring Water and the pile of mole rat hides on the ground.
He had earned too much.
Chen Yu had acquired them at a premium price, and he was even using them to compensate at a premium price.
Since his brother-in-law was so generous,
He definitely couldn’t treat his brother-in-law poorly.
“A Niu, even if we can’t become brothers-in-law in the future, I’ve decided to be your friend,” Roy’s eyes suddenly showed determination. He flipped his hand and produced a blueprint.
It was evident his expression was one of great struggle, yet he still extended it towards Chen Yu.
“This blueprint is for you!”
