Chương 3: Chapter 3: Red Face and White Face Alternately Taking the Stage_1
On the other side, Taylor easily dropped the body of the demon beast and came to Leo Ray's side.
He then saluted and said, "Lord, I have finished investigating the area within a one-kilometer radius of the camp. No demon beast lairs or other traces of power have been found."
After a pause, he added, "Oh right, I also encountered these two little insects blocking the way and took care of them."
Looking at the "small insects" Taylor mentioned, Leo Ray couldn't help but show a wry smile.
What lay on the ground was an enormous black hexagonal cattle, the size of a baby elephant, and a blue python thicker than a century-old tree!
Especially the blue python, despite having lost its life, its shiny, thick scales and the half-meter long sharp fangs in its mouth indicated that this demon beast was definitely not a good creature when alive!
"Lord, do you have any other orders?"
Right after that, Taylor asked again.
Seeing how Taylor seemed as if he had just gone for a walk, not even panting, Leo Ray didn't hesitate and directly responded, "Expand the search range and get a clear grasp of the surrounding situation."
"Understood!" Taylor clenched his fist, turned and transformed into a shadow, speeding away.
After he left, Leo Ray rolled up his sleeves and moved the wooden storage chest in the log cabin outside.
This chest was exclusively for the Lord.
Only Leo Ray and those authorized by him could use it.
In other words, it's a storage space with its own world inside.
Although currently only containing 100 slots, all similar items can be stacked.
Moreover, this chest also comes with an additional function.
That is to automatically and perfectly disassemble the selected items in an instant.
Of course, this also includes the two demon beast corpses.
After moving them, Leo Ray's heart moved, and the corpses instantly turned into a white light, entering the storage space automatically.
"Disassemble!"
Without any hesitation, Leo Ray started the operation.
[You disassembled a Tier 1 Five-Star Demon Beast Hexagonal Cattle, obtaining 1400x Beef, 50x Tendons, 20x Hides, 6x Horns!]
[You disassembled a Tier 1 Eight-Star Magical Beast Greenstone Python, obtaining 1600x Snake Meat, 30x Snake Skin, 2x Hypertoxic Fang (Rare)!]
Feeling the storage space filling instantly with so many items, Leo Ray couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
This was his first harvest since coming to this world!
Apart from the 3000 portions of processed meats, other items were essential materials for making equipment and were sure to be used later.
Especially those two rare hypertoxic fangs, they could potentially be used to create top-notch weapons!
After some trials, Leo Ray discovered that his Golden Finger did not react to food or materials.
"It seems that only functional items can utilize this talent..."
"In that case, weapons and equipment should also work, right? I wonder what kind of reaction will take place when the time comes...
While pondering, Leo Ray opened the function interface again. This time, he didn't enter the Chat Channel but the Trading Center instead.
Through this function, regardless of the distance, all Lords can trade in real-time to obtain the items they need.
Currently, a significant number of Lords have put up their own requirements for trade.
Without exception, all trades were basic resources like wood, stone, and thatch in exchange for food.
Even occasionally appearing fruits and vegetables were extremely popular.
As soon as they were listed, they would be taken instantly.
No one has ever put up meat for trade.
Noticing this point and combining it with the previous chat content, Leo Ray showed a thoughtful expression.
Due to their low combat power, most people are currently trapped in the Safety Zone, unable to obtain enough food supplies.
"Does this mean that I can use food, which I don't lack, to trade for other people's resources?"
Following this line of thinking, Leo Ray continued to ponder.
He had 3000 portions of meat, each weighing about one pound.
Moreover, Taylor could be sent to replenish supplies at any time.
"Food is a consumable, while resources can be used for construction and upgrading of the Lord's Mansion."
"In this case, as long as I have enough food, doesn't that mean that all early-stage players are working just for me?"
Making up his mind, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Leo Ray's mouth, reminiscent of an old capitalist.Before, while browsing the chat channel, he had already roughly summed up the efficiency of most people in gathering resources.
With the right tools, a summoned tier 1 farmer can gather an average of 5 units of stone, 10 units of wood, or 20 units of thatch in one hour.
Based on this data, Leo Ray thought for a moment and then anonymously put 1,000 portions of snake meat in the trading center from his storage space.
What he was going to do was not just simply exchange resources!
[Trader: Anonymous]
[Trading Item: 1000 portions of Snake Meat (1 portion per exchange, each portion 0.5kg)]
[Required Item One: Stone (50 Units)]
[Required Item Two: Wood (100 Units)]
[Required Item Three: Thatch (200 Units)]
Since many lords were waiting in the trading center for food,
As soon as this information was released, it almost instantly exploded in various chat channels.
"1000 portions of snake meat?! Am I seeing things? Anonymous bigshot 666!"
"This bigshot is strong, but isn't the price too unreasonable? Not enough resources to exchange!"
"Exactly! My farmer can only gather 5 units of stone per hour, and this guy wants 50 units for 1 portion, that's too greedy!"
"Are there no other bigshots? Working for 10 hours just to exchange for a pound of meat, I'd rather starve to death!"
"I agree with the top floor, if it was 5 hours per pound of meat, I would accept it!"
"I hope other bigshots help us fly! Let this greedy dog's wishful thinking fail!"
...
Looking at the content in the chat channel, Leo Ray showed satisfaction.
This was exactly the result he wanted.
First, playing the good cop anonymously raised the price to an extremely unreasonable level, lowering everyone's expectations.
Then he himself would play the bad cop. In this way, with the contrast, the price could be maximized within a reasonable range.
This would also make the others grateful to him, reaping both fame and benefits.
He could imagine that this food-for-resource method couldn't last too long, so he needed to prepare for future development.
Establishing a good image in the minds of other lords is obviously a good start.
Moreover, it is beyond doubt that among the billion lords, there are hidden talents.
By setting up a more powerful anonymous imaginary enemy for these people, their attention can be naturally diverted away from himself, thus achieving the effect of confusing everyone's sight.
A moment later, seeing the chat channel already filled with indignation,
Leo Ray smiled slightly before reopening the trading interface, ready to test the waters first.
Next, it was time for the eagerly awaited good cop to make an appearance.
[Trader: Leo Ray]
[Trading Item: 100 portions of Beef (1 portion per exchange, each portion 0.5kg)]
[Required Item One: Stone (20 Units)]
[Required Item Two: Wood (40 Units)]
[Required Item Three: Thatch (80 Units)]
As soon as this new trading information was released, all chat channels once again reached a boiling point!
"Brothers! Good news! A new bigshot everyone was waiting for has appeared! The meat's price is super reasonable, hurry to the trading center!"
"Thank you bigshot! I exchanged for a pound! Now my starving farmers can work, hehe!"
"Hahaha, so did I! My farmer's loyalty dropped to 30, and now they finally don't give me despising looks! The bigshot is powerful!"
"Awesome! We have meat to eat now! The bigshot is amazing!!"
"Bigshot, no, giant! Please accept my bowing knees!"
"Please save a portion for me, everyone! I only need one more unit of wood to exchange...damn, it's gone?"
"Leo Ray, a blood-written letter from all of us! Lead us to take down that greedy anonymous dog bigshot!"
...
As Leo Ray had anticipated, in just a few seconds, all 100 portions of beef were exchanged.
He also successfully obtained 2000 units of wood, 1600 units of thatch, and 600 units of stone.
The resources required for the first upgrade of the Lord's Mansion were easily acquired!
