Chapter 250 From One Mountain to Another
Early winter.
The Watase Flame Spider Kingdom is located in the tropical rain forest. The sun is still shining brightly, and the sea breeze blows, bringing humid and heated air into the jungle. For the Flame Spider warriors, it is the most comfortable climate of the year.
Flame Spiders who are traveling as businessmen all return to the kingdom during this season, gathering together to eat, drink, communicate, and trade.
An annual gathering of the same kind.
The Atractylodes Spider King Trading Circle, the grove at the entrance.
Bai Wei divided the force food she had just acquired into small bags, stuffed them into metal cans, tied them in series, put them into an oversized spider silk bag, placed them on Hong Tao's back, and tied them with spider silk.
"Hongtao, can you carry it?"
"...can carry it."
"Try taking two steps."
Hong Tao walked around Bai Wei and sighed: "Master Bai Wei, this won't work either~"
Bai Wei: "Why not?"
Heart: "I am a metal mantis after all, and I am only a 2-year-old advanced gold mantis warrior. I can only carry this one bag of goods."
Bai Wei comforted her: "It would be nice if you could help transport a bag! I'll give you more money."
Bai Wei really had no choice.
Over the years, ordinary force honey has gained a good reputation due to its affordable price and sweet taste, and has gradually been loved by warriors from large and small tribes. Coupled with this year's large supply of three types of queen honey: Azure, Crimson Light, and Southern Ziziphus, we have further won the trust of our trading partners.
Orders have surged this year.
Calculated based on the selling price, the pre-sale amount is as high as 720,000 rough stones, which is an integer of 300 cans.
Accordingly, Bai Wei must deliver ordinary force food worth 510,000 raw stones to Long Bai.
The dried force food is not heavy, but it cannot support the huge quantity.
Bai Wei is not considered strong among the Watase Flame Spider tribe, with a span of over four meters, a carapace of over two meters wide, and a length of less than three meters.
In the limited space on the back, large and small bags were stacked layer by layer, reaching a height of three or four meters.
Not only is there Force food, but there are also 10,000 raw stones and 300 metal cans that Long Bai requested.
The rough stone is heavy, and the metal can is not light either.
Caolong was right. The once lively owner of Baiwei Mountain was gone forever. The heavy cargo made it unable to walk.
But not willing to give up.
If you transport one more bag of force food to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent, you will earn about two thousand more raw stones.
The clever Bai Wei thought about letting Hong Tao share some of the pressure.
"I'll give you an extra 2,000 rough stones for this year's salary!"
"You are a high-level Golden Mantis warrior. You are farming on the mountain with the Lord of Huangtao Mountain. Can you earn 2,000 rough stones after a year of hard work?"
Bai Wei didn't seem happy to see Hong Tao, so she tried to reason with her and lured her with benefits.
Heart: "Can't earn..."
Hongtao: "Master Baiwei, I am just like you, I also want to earn more..."
Heart: "However, the problem we are currently facing is that we do not have the strength to carry more goods. Our traveling business has reached the top of the mountain road."
Bai Wei: "Now we have earned enough! More than Luo Li!"
Hong Tao: "Is the profit of 140,000 to 150,000 rough stones a year enough for us to evolve to the lord level?"
Bai Wei: "Enough!"
Heart: "Is it enough for us to evolve into the Insect King?"
Bai Wei: "Not enough——"
Hongtao: "Master Baiwei Mountain, we cannot be satisfied with the status quo and must think about changes."
Bai Wei: "Then I'll ask around and buy a batch of God-given force food that can help you grow in size, and then eat some force food that strengthens your overall physique. I'll strengthen my body shape and strength, and try to get more luck!"
Heart: "..."
Hong Tao: "The mountain master-level body shape has stabilized. How much more can it be improved? It will not fundamentally change."
Bai Wei lost her patience, "Hongtao, do you have any good ideas? Just tell me!"
Heart: "I can think of two ways."
two? Bai Wei couldn't help but praise, "Hongtao, you have learned a lot in the past three years with me."
Heart: "...Yes."
Hong Tao: "The first way is to reduce the burden. The 10,000 rough stones transported to Longbai Ant King are too heavy. Master Bai Wei, we can not transport the rough stones. When we arrive at the Eastern Transshipment Trading Plaza of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent, you can find other caravans. , use the 1,000 denomination Spider King Silk Roll, find other caravans to exchange for 900 rough stones, and let the price difference of 100 rough stones, there should be no shortage of caravans willing to exchange. You only need to find 11 caravans willing to exchange, and you agree to help Long Baiyan We have the 10,000 rough stones that the king transported."
Heart: "Perhaps there is no need for 11 caravans. There must be caravans whose trading routes pass through the origin of raw stones. If it is just a short-distance transportation, they are willing to make the price difference."
Hong Tao: "Master Baiwei, you will transport 10,000 raw stones less, and you will suffer a small loss of 1,000 raw stones. But you can transport 10 more bags of force food, and earn 20,000 more raw stones. It's even easier."
Bai Wei: "That makes sense! I've had this idea for a long time."
Bai Wei has always recognized Hongtao as a partner, and then asked: "What about the second way? Let's talk about it."
Hong Tao: "Master Baiwei Mountain, have you noticed that most of the flame spider traveling merchants, from the Watase Flame Spider Kingdom to the transit trading square in the eastern part of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent, their backs are not fully loaded."
Bai Wei: "You don't need to observe this, I'm very familiar with it. Traveling merchant trade, selling and buying goods along the way. The wealth on the back is constantly increasing, and the goods are growing. Everyone needs to reserve transportation capacity and purchase during the second half of the journey. goods."
Hong Tao: "Then can we mobilize some of the flame spider merchants to help us transport the goods? Each flame spider merchant only needs to help transport one or two bags, 10 or 20 flame spiders. How many flame spiders can be transported? Bag?"
Bai Wei: "Then you must pay a price! No one in our Watase Flame Spider tribe is stupid. On the contrary, they are all smart and very bad. Seeing you struggling with the rough stone, they are secretly thinking about how to steal one from you. It’s a good thing.”
Heart: "Yes. The spider's heart is dangerous, we must be careful at all times."
Heart: "However, sharing does not necessarily mean you will suffer a loss."
Heart: "If there is a 5% profit, there should be Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider Travel Dealers who would be willing to make more luck. If there is a 10% profit, I think most Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider Travel Dealers would be willing."
"10% profit?" Bai Wei did the math, it was a bit complicated, and asked directly: "Then do we still make money?"
Hong Tao: "Yes! We can hand over the lower-priced force food produced in the territories of high-level and mountain lord-level warriors to other caravans for transportation. Baiwei Mountain Lord, you only transport the lord-level force food with a relatively high unit price. food."
Hong Tao said: "As much as you can, you can earn hundreds or thousands of rough stones just by transporting a bag along the way. These rough stones are so easy to earn, and there must be many spiders vying for your cooperation. You belong to the Zeqi Spider King's caravan, and you have benefits, so you should be given priority. Share it with the other spiders in the Zeqi Spider King’s caravan, and since you are of the same origin, it will be easier to negotiate.”
Bai Wei: "This is natural."
Hongtao raised her paw, pointed at the Atractylodes Spider King's trading circle in front of her, and said: "Royal jelly limits the scale of the Force honey trade, and Atractylodes Spider King has channels to obtain royal jelly. Therefore, we must also find the Atractylodes Spider King's caravan. Cooperation is very important!”
Heart: "Royal jelly is a luxurious and delicious food. It has no special strengthening effect. It costs 3,000 rough stones/bottle. Who can I sell it to? If I sell it to you, one bottle can bring an additional income of 12,000 rough stones to the caravan." , Cangzhu Spider King will definitely give you priority, and I can’t wait to give it to you for free.”
Bai Wei: "...that makes sense!"
Bai Wei: "I'm going to talk to that Cangzhu old spider!"
"Don't!"
Hongtao hurriedly stopped and said: "Master Baiwei, it is not appropriate to bother a Spider King for such a trivial matter."
Heart: "The spider king has a strong mental power and is always paying attention to the movements of the caravan. You can talk to other spiders in the caravan. The Cangshu Spider King will know about it and will settle the score."
"Yep!"
Bai Wei strongly agreed.
Hong Tao: "Master Bai Wei, the metal jar filled with Force honey is heavier than the original stone. I suggest you eat more Force food that strengthens your comprehensive physique, especially Force food that strengthens strength and speed."
Hong Tao: "With power, we can quickly expand the number of Force Ant Honey to four hundred, five hundred, or six hundred cans."
Bai Wei: "Hongtao, you are becoming more and more like a qualified traveling merchant. That's what I plan to do..."
Hong Tao: "The quantity of force honey has increased, and we need to consider the issue of sales. We have only two months to transport the things back to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent for sales and processing. We need speed. The faster we run, the further we can run. Only then can we visit more big tribes.”
Bai Wei: "Hongtao, your analysis is very correct!"
Heart: "I have a little trick about speed."
Bai Wei: "Tell me and listen."
Hong Tao: "Over on the Wanzu Continent, the existing trade route starts from Huangtao Mountain and goes north. We have gone far enough north now, and there is no need to go further. We can open up a second trading route to Huangtao Mountain is the starting point and we develop westward."
Hongtao: "Transport a large amount of heavy force honey back to the Continent of Ten Thousand Clans, leave part of it, store it in Huangtao Mountain, reduce the load on the back, and go north as quickly as possible to complete the transaction in the north. Return to Huangtao Mountain and bring another A shipment, heading west.”
Bai Wei: "!!!"
Bai Wei: "It makes sense!"
Bai Wei: "Hongtao, how many more rough stones can we earn?"
Heart: "Sixty or seventy thousand. Maybe you can talk to the Dragon Cypress Ant King and ask him to give up the profits appropriately."
Bai Wei: "Yes, we can talk."
Bai Wei: "Hongtao! I want to give you a salary increase!"
Bai Wei's eyes suddenly opened up, and she was impatient, and said: "Let's go! Let's talk to the spiders from the Cangzhu Spider King's caravan."
