Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 398: News of the City's Black Market and the Minstrel



The merchant Jason exclaimed: "This is... this is a Light Feather Chicken's egg!"

"Lord Cao Xing, within your territory, surely even magical creatures such as Light Feather Chickens are present?"

Cao Xing nodded, "That's right."

The first batch of Light Feather Chickens has already started hatching.

Under the 24-hour Holy Light, these Light Feather Chickens grow very quickly.

It won't be long before the chicken flock in my territory will expand, and then we can produce eggs in batches.

Jes' face showed even greater astonishment.

He said excitedly, "Truly worthy of Lord Cao Xing!"

"I've heard that not only are these magical creatures extremely difficult to tame, but they are also very troublesome to raise."

"I never expected you could even obtain such creatures, it's truly unbelievable..."

"If Cao Xing is willing to sell these eggs and establish a long-term cooperation with our Woodpecker Commerce."

"On behalf of the Vice President, I assure you we'll offer you the highest acquisition price on the market, how about it?"

Cao Xing smiled, "That's acceptable, I do trust President Jes' character."

"However, for large-scale trading, some wait is still necessary."

"After some time, when the Light Feather Chickens in my territory reach a certain scale, I'll get in touch with you."

This merchant responded without hesitation: "Of course, no problem!"

"Whenever you need, Lord Cao Xing, you can contact me anytime."

Jes had a bright smile on his face.

For merchants of his caliber, one or two million crowns is naturally not that important.

He is looking at the long-term profits from Cao Xing Territory, and the development potential of this land.

Just like Hilton, these merchants have excellent business acumen and foresight.

Whereas the other merchant from Moon God Trading House that Cao Xing encountered earlier didn't possess these qualities, so he had been dismissed by Moon God Trading House.

If Jes can offer a satisfactory price, it wouldn't be a problem for them to acquire the Light Feather Chicken eggs in the future.

As previously mentioned, if Cao Xing truly ventures into business, he can quickly open up the market with the items he possesses.

But doing business isn't that simple.

Not only does it require hiring people for management, but ensuring the safe transport of goods is also necessary.

Furthermore, he has to engage with these merchants and nobles in the city.

All these matters will consume a lot of Cao Xing's time and energy.

With this time, he could achieve even greater gains by enhancing his own strength.

When you are strong enough, naturally many will seek to cooperate with you.

Cao Xing continued, "By the way, Lord Jes, I have one more thing to trouble you with."

Jes said pleasantly, "Lord Cao Xing, just go ahead."

He even changed the way he addressed Cao Xing.

"It's not a big matter, it's just that I want to see Earl Winston, do you have any connections?"

As an Earl and the master of Merlin City, he is naturally not someone just anyone can meet.

Not only does one need sufficient status and background, but prior notification is also necessary, which is tantamount to an appointment.

Clearly, Cao Xing doesn't have any of that.

However, he is here to claim a reward this time.

Even if Jes has no way, he can directly go to Earl Mansion.

Of course, if someone can introduce him, it would save a lot of trouble.

Jes thought for a moment, then said, "Earl Winston usually stays inside his Earl Mansion and rarely goes out."

"But if Lord Cao Xing wants to see him, I can make arrangements for you."

Cao Xing listened and was delighted, "That's wonderful, Lord Jes."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, "It's just a simple task."

At this point, he seemed to remember something, "By the way, Lord Cao Xing, you have just arrived in Merlin City and don't have a place to stay, right?"

Cao Xing nodded.

The merchant's face appeared with a smile once again.

"Since that's the case, how about settling temporarily at Viersing Tavern?"

"It's one of the top three taverns in Merlin City, and also our Woodpecker Commerce property."

"Since it's getting late, even if you want to see Earl Winston, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Moreover, it boasts the most famous minstrel not only in Merlin City but perhaps the entire Gale Snow Plain, who sings charmingly every night at the tavern."

"Countless noble offspring lavishly spend fortunes just to hear her sing."

When mentioning the minstrel, Jes spoke with pride.

Cao Xing didn't decline, for he truly needed a place to stay.

"Then I'll trouble Lord Jes."

"No trouble at all, it's a mere trifle." Jes smiled, seemingly in a good mood.

Cao Xing was in a good mood too.

Indeed, when stepping outside, it's still about relying on connections.

You see, having acquaintances in Merlin City makes everything much more convenient.

Jes continued, "Lord Cao Xing, besides the tavern, if you find yourself bored at night and want something else to do."

"I can take you on a tour around the city's black market."

"Black market? Is it the kind I'm imagining?"

Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of surprise!

Jes nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's exactly as you imagine."

"Merlin City houses a black market, where items that can't be openly sold on the surface are available."

"As long as you have money and sufficient discernment, you can always find something you like."

Cao Xing showed interest.

Whether in games or those literary works, the black market is a place holding a special significance.

Quite a few main characters rely on picking up a bargain in the black market, subsequently obtaining treasures, and soaring to greatness henceforth.
