Chapter 11: Arrangent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Grimm had lived in the imperial capital for his entire life and had seen all kinds of things. He imdiately ca to his senses. He did not look at the thing on the table, but looked at Zhao Hai with shining eyes and said, “Young Master, you can use magic now?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I can’t use magic. You also know that anyone who drinks the Void Water can’t use magic. This is just an ability. It has no offensive powers and can only let store so things.”
Grimm nodded and was slightly disappointed. Then, he turned his head to the table and saw the radish on the table. He was stunned for a mont and imdiately picked it up. He looked at it carefully and sniffed it. Finally, he took a bite and nodded. He placed the radish on the table and turned to Zhao Hai. “Young Master, this is magic radish, a very common magical vegetable.”
Zhao Hai was stunned. “What magical vegetables? Are there other kinds of vegetables?”
Grimm nodded and said, “Yes, Young Master. There are two types of vegetables on the Ark Continent. One is ordinary vegetables. These vegetables are usually eaten by commoners or slaves, while the nobles usually eat magical vegetables. These vegetables contain so magic energy and can only grow in so special lands. Moreover, they need to be carefully taken care of. Magic radish is such a magical vegetable, but it is the most common one. The current market price is about two silver coins per kilogram.”
Zhao Hai quickly calculated in his mind. He had 40,000 kilograms of radishes. Two silver coins per kilogram was 80,000 silver coins. If he exchanged it for gold coins, it would be 8,000 gold coins. This was way much better than selling to the Space Farm. If he sold to the Space Farm, he would only get 500 gold coins which was equivalent to selling the radish for a little more than 1.2 bronze coins per kilogram. According to the purchasing power of this world and the purchasing power of Earth, if he sold these radishes to the Space Farm, he would be selling them for a little more than 1.2 yuan per kilogram. However, if he sold them to the people here, he could sell them for 10 yuan per kilogram. The difference was nearly 20 tis. Even a fool knew whom to sell.
At this mont, Grimm picked up the map and said, “But this magic radish is a little strange. I’ve never seen such a big magic radish on the continent, and its taste is much stronger than the ones I have tasted. Young Master, where did you get this thing?”
Zhao Hai did not answer him and only continued, “Then, can the blue-eyed rabbits eat the leaves of this thing? When we buy the magic radishes, do we take the leaves as well?”
Grimm shook his head and said, “We won’t take leaves when we buy the magic radishes. The leaves of this thing don’t taste good, but it’s a food that the blue-eyed rabbit likes very much. Why are you asking this, Young Master?”
Zhao Hai stood up and walked around the ground happily. ‘The heavens didn’t abandon . This is great. With this, I can build a ranch.’
Grimm looked at Zhao Hai and felt worried. He did not know what was wrong with Zhao Hai and thought that he had gone crazy. He quickly said, “Young Master, Young Master, what’s wrong? Don’t scare .”
Zhao Hai ca back to his senses and laughed loudly at Grimm. “Grandpa Grimm, don’t be worried. I’m just too happy. By the way, Grandpa Grimm, let ask you, is this magic radish easy to buy?”
Seeing that Zhao Hai was fine, Grimm was relieved. He imdiately nodded and said, “It’s easy to buy. There’s no war on the continent now, and the people have a lot of inco. Many commoners will buy so magic vegetables to eat, and the magic radish is the cheapest among the magic vegetables, so many people buy it.”
Zhao Hai nodded and sat down. He asked Grimm to sit down as well and said, “Grandpa Grimm, I have 40,000 kilograms of this magic radish. You have to think of a way to sell them. It doesn’t matter if you sell them a bit cheaper, but you have to sell them as soon as possible and buy as many blue-eyed rabbits as possible. There are many abandoned mines on this mountain. You can transform those mines into the nests of blue-eyed rabbits. This way, we will have a fixed inco in the future.”
Grimm was stunned. He stood up excitedly and said, “Young Master, are you saying you have 40,000-kilograms of magic radish? Why do you have so many of them?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about it for now. Hurry up and settle this matter. Moreover, the buyer you find has to be a big dealer. Tell him that I have a lot of magic radish in my hands. In about two more days, I will have another 40,000 kilograms of magic radish. He can have as much as he wants.”
Grimm stamred, “Young Master, are you serious? Do you really have that many magic radishes? Where did you get them from?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about this. You just have to deal with this as soon as possible. You have to be fast, but you have to keep a low profile. Don’t let anyone know that we sold these things. Can you do it?”
Grimm imdiately cald down. Although he did not know where Zhao Hai had obtained these magic radishes, he thought that this must be related to the ability Zhao Hai had obtained, so he imdiately said, “Young Master, don’t worry. I can do this. I will arrange it imdiately.”
Zhao Hai nodded and stopped Grimm, who was about to leave. “Grandpa Grimm, tell those slaves to stop caring about those supplies. Go and clean up those mines imdiately. We have to raise a lot of blue-eyed rabbits. I will take care of those supplies. Don’t worry.”
Grimm’s eyes lit up. He had a new understanding of Zhao Hai’s ability. Although Zhao Hai said that his ability was not aggressive, just the fact that he could store so many things and provide so many magic radishes was already impressive.
Grimm imdiately nodded and said, “Young Master, don’t worry. I will arrange it. Wood, Rock, from now on, stay by Young Master’s side and protect him. I am going out for a few days. rlyn, g, watch over those slaves and make sure they finish what Young Master has planned in the shortest ti possible. Do you understand?”
At this mont, Grimm displayed the experience and skills of a butler of a noble family. He arranged the few important things in the shortest ti. The first was Zhao Hai’s safety, the second was the focus of the work, and the third was to sell the radishes outside. Clearly, he was going to do the third thing himself.
rlyn and the others were stunned. They really did not expect Zhao Hai to have such a secret. Now that Grimm shouted, they ca back to their senses and nodded. Only then did Grimm quickly walk out.
Zhao Hai looked at Grimm’s back and nodded. It seed like Grimm was not ignorant in business matters. The reason why he had spent all of the family’s money when they ca to the Black Soil Wilderness might be because of the reason he had guessed earlier. It was to let Adam have no money to spend and stay here obediently. But now, Grimm did not need to worry about this.
Seeing that Grimm had left, rlyn turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, are you hungry? You haven’t eaten since you woke up this morning. I’ll prepare breakfast for you imdiately.” With that, she walked into the kitchen.
Zhao Hai quickly said, “Grandma rlyn, forget it. I ate half a magic radish this morning. I’m still full.”
rlyn quickly shook her head and said, “How can that do? How can you fill your stomach with just this? Young Master, wait a mont. I’ll make it imdiately. It’ll be ready soon.”
Seeing that he could not stop her, Zhao Hai quickly said, “Grandma rlyn, cook this magic radish too. It should be quite delicious.”
rlyn agreed and took half of the radish into the kitchen. g stood beside Zhao Hai, while Wood and Rock stood behind him.
Seeing their expressions, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He knew that Wood and Rock wouldn’t listen to anything he said now. These two guys were very stubborn. They had Grimm’s order to follow, so he also didn’t say anything. He just turned to g and said, “g, bring so kea. I’m a little thirsty.”
g responded and turned to walk to the kitchen. However, when she walked behind Zhao Hai, she secretly glanced at him before quickly walking into the kitchen.
Zhao Hai sat there in boredom. There were still too few people in the castle that he could talk to. There were only Grimm and the others. It was impossible for those slaves to chat with Zhao Hai normally. If Zhao Hai went to chat with them, he might scare them instead. Therefore, Zhao Hai could only sit here alone.
Zhao Hai wanted to chat with Wood and Rock, but the two of them were slow-witted and did not speak much. He could not chat with them at all, so he could only sit there alone and stare blankly.
Fortunately, g ca out with a pot of kea. However, after pouring a cup for Zhao Hai, she retreated behind him without saying anything. This made Zhao Hai depressed, but he did not know what to say to g. Because of what Adam had done to g in the past, Zhao Hai felt very awkward when facing g.
rlyn was very fast. Soon, Zhao Hai’s breakfast was prepared. It was similar to the western breakfast on Earth. The breakfast contained bread, at porridge, and a few fried eggs. Of course, this fried egg was not made of normal eggs like on Earth, but the eggs of a level one magical beast on the Ark Continent.
Zhao Hai turned to rlyn and the others and said, “Grandma rlyn, sit down and eat. You still have many things to do after breakfast.”
rlyn nodded. This ti, she did not retort because she knew that they really had a lot of work, so she and g went to the kitchen to get a few more plates of food and ate them with Wood and Rock.
After breakfast, Zhao Hai did not return to his room. Instead, he went to the living room on the first floor and sat there drinking Kea. He knew that after Grimm arranged everything, he would definitely report to him, so he was not in a hurry.
