The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen Chapter 8 - 8 8 The Dishonest Merchant

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 The Dishonest rchant Chapter 8: Chapter 8 The Dishonest rchant At this ti, the channel was still quite lively, though the discussion topic had shifted away from Bai Yi.

Bai Yi glanced briefly, and it seed that the anonymous user was complaining about the rewards received from a card draw, which were just a white Farr Camp and a green Fierce Wolf Camp.

To substantiate his claim, the anonymous user vividly described the drawbacks of both camps.

Like how farrs had no combat capability and still required food.

How the Fierce Wolf’s most powerful ability was a talent called Wolf Pack, which required dozens to hundreds of wolves to accumulate a super strong buff, as a single wolf was just a white-tier soldier…

Bai Yi instantly saw through it as a sales pitch.

But many others indeed bought into it.

The listing of the two camps triggered a competition between two people, Shuishui and the Corpse King, on the Water Channel; of course, they were competing for the Fierce Wolf, not the white-tier, featureless farr.

Bai Yi just skimd through the chat log to understand the situation.

“Such an obvious sales tactic, that anonymous person was clearly planning to sell these two barracks, right,

“This person got the bug gift package just like everyone else, and it might have been two soldier packages, plus the soldier from the Newbie Gift Package, making three barracks in total.

Even if not, anyone willing to sell two barracks must surely have a better one obtained through other ans kept secret.

Otherwise, selling both life-saving barracks would be equivalent to waiting for death, wouldn’t it?

A person who can discover and report a ga bug is definitely not a fool.”

Thinking about this, Bai Yi felt she was getting close to the truth.

“So actually the Fierce Wolf or the farr ca from his Newbie Gift Package, and he obtained the other through different channels, and even had a purple or perhaps golden soldier. It all makes sense now.

Moreover, throwing out two low-tier barracks this way could divert others’ attention, making them overlook what he’s hidden and the special reward he received for submitting the bug.

It could also cause people to bid for the seemingly decent Fierce Wolf Camp.

Not a bad strategy!

If it weren’t for my first kill announcent being my real na, and later changing my na after entering the chat channel, I might have also been troubled by the reputation it brought.

Crowns stand tall in forests…”

Bai Yi selectively forgot that she herself was staying in a prominent tree in the forest, chuckling and shaking her head.

“This thod indeed seed quite useful.”

At least Bai Yi really beca interested in what he was offering.

The Farr Camp, free labor, could help with chores and farming, simply perfect.

She had set a goal for herself to live quietly and farm on her territory.

With her talent, Bai Yi felt she would surely be inseparable from plants and insects in the future.

Whatever work needed to be done, Bai Yi couldn’t always rely on insects and plants to chop wood and cook. Having a humanoid soldier was essential to improve life.

Even without any combat capability, Bai Yi would accept it.

After a brief consideration, Bai Yi decided to temporarily hold off on the acquisition and opened a private chat with the anonymous.

Fan Mao: Hello, may I ask, are the two camps you’ve shown for sale?

Anonymous, “The farr requires 20 units of fresh blood flesh, or 60 units of regular food, while the Fierce Wolf Camp goes to the highest bidder, or you can make a one-ti offer of 200 units of fresh blood flesh.”

Seeing the quote from the other party, Bai Yi couldn’t help but click her tongue. This farr was only 20 units of blood flesh, yet the Fierce Wolf actually jumped tenfold!

“Is he certain it will sell?”

This probing at least led Bai Yi to a conclusion: the other party definitely had an Advanced Barracks, and it needed fresh blood flesh to create.

With this information, Bai Yi’s mind was at ease.

With a thought, she sent another ssage.

Fan Mao, “Fresh blood flesh, one-ti offer”

Anonymous, “Straightforward!”

Fan Mao, “Farr Camp”

Anonymous, “?”

Fan Mao, “Is there a problem?”

Anonymous, “Weren’t you here to buy the Fierce Wolf Camp?”

Fan Mao, “Why would I want to buy the Fierce Wolf Camp?”

Anonymous, “Alright”

Bai Yi had been prepared for the other party to demand a higher price, but to her surprise, within just over ten seconds, she received a trade request.

[Sell Farr Camp *1, Price: Fresh Blood Flesh *20]

Bai Yi took out 20 units of fresh blood flesh from the trade bar, clicked confirm, and completed the transaction on the spot, successfully obtaining the “Farr” Camp.

[Farr Camp Blueprint (1st Rank/White): Learn to consu materials to create [Farr Camp], materials required: Wood *40, Food *10]

[Farr Camp (1st Rank/White): Consu food to recruit units [Farr], consu additional wood and stone to equip recruited units with [Stone Hoe], camp cos with 2 initial units, recruitnt cost: Food *1]

“What the heck, no wonder he didn’t haggle! Sly businessman!”

After seeing the blueprint information, Bai Yi understood everything.

The Farr was indeed considered as a Farr and fell within the allowed renaming range, and after renaming to Farr Camp, it clearly seed more advanced than the Farr Camp.

“Forget it, after all, it’s not like I’m going to put it on the line. Farrs are fine, at least I don’t have to face a bunch of big n.”

Silently noting the anonymous user, Bai Yi returned to the channel, where Shuishui and the Corpse King’s competition had decided a winner.

The Corpse King succeeded in bidding 187 units of fresh blood flesh to secure the blueprint for the Fierce Wolf Camp and hadn’t said anything since.

Presumably, they were handling the camp blueprint.

Shuishui also stopped speaking after a round of harsh words, and the channel quieted down considerably.

Bai Yi then typed out the ssage she had been considering and sent it out.

Fan Mao, “Offering fresh blood flesh, buying stone, wood, and honey”

Rain Maker, “A new big boss!”

Ice Coke, “Boss, please spare so food! My house is running out of groceries!”

With this short ssage, Bai Yi once again ignited the chat channel, but she didn’t continue to watch these people act pitiful or offer flattery, and went straight to the Free Market.

Bai Yi first quickly completed several trades in the chat channel she had previously noted, buying stone and wood at high prices in exchange for fresh blood flesh, and then she put her own trades on the market.

Because she had advertised in the channel, Bai Yi’s pork was all traded within five seconds of being listed.

The forr received 51 units of stone and 28 units of wood, while the latter received 160 units of stone and 20 units of wood.

Having acquired these resources, Bai Yi’s blueprints were finally ready for use.

The blueprints didn’t physically exist; when selected on the panel for use, they turned into points of light that drilled into Bai Yi’s mind, placing corresponding knowledge into her brain, and the construction list on the panel increased by three nas.

Among them, both the Farr Camp and the Bloodthirsty Beetle Nest were already shown as buildable!

……

In the city district of White Poplar City, within an abandoned neighborhood,

The anonymous person watched with hands clasped, resting at his lips, silently reading the notification on the panel in front of him.

[Second-tier Giant Boar Pork *20: at rich in nutrition and energy that can slightly accelerate physical recovery when consud. When used as a material to recruit first-tier units, it can enable the unit to■■■■■■]

This was his Lord Talent, allowing him to forcibly see through restrictions and the essence, but it only worked at the sa tier; for higher-tier targets, only part of the information could be seen.

He used his talent habitually to look at the at he had exchanged; surprisingly, he discerned this.

“Did I just cheat a formidable person?”

Only 20 units, while the rest were so first-tier mutated creature ats, could only have co from that Farr blueprint.

He also knew that this action would certainly offend people, but he thought,

It was just exchanging materials. Once he forged the purple Gun Hunter Camp and grew stronger, the counterpart could only submit. After all, who would buy a Farr Camp?

Yet reality showed, soone did…

“Seriously, being capable of hunting second-tier mutation creatures, why buy a white-level barracks blueprint?

If discovered, wouldn’t they co to beat up?”

The anonymous person gulped with difficulty and shook his head vigorously.

“No, they don’t even know where I am! Besides, it’s just the early period; how many big shots can hunt second-tier creatures!

It must be that this Fan Mao was lucky and stumbled upon the corpse of a second-tier creature!

That must be it!”

The anonymous person felt he had grasped the truth, gazing back at the panel.

“Moreover, once I make this purple barracks, so what if I’ve offended soone?

Nonetheless, if I’ve potentially offended them, I must eliminate the danger if possible. Otherwise, a potential enemy still poses a risk.

If one has the potential to threaten , they’ve already determined their own demise!”
