NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8: Goddess and Profiteers!
Trading food for wood and stone, it was a shortcut that Lin Yi had found to help him quickly level up his castle. He thought he would continue to have two more days of the advantages, but he did not expect someone to steal his business the next day.
And it was ‘affordable food’?
He opened the《Hyperspace Trading Channel》. Soon, he looked at the main body. It was Goddess Feng Qing who was frequently mentioned in the chat.
She had sold a total of five hundred units of food this morning; it was all beef. Moreover, the asking price was half of what he was asking. Apart from Feng Qing, there were a few other Castle Lords who were also selling food. The moment the stocks hit the shelves, they sold out.
It could be seen that those Castle Lords with powerful units, who weren’t happy yesterday, had mustered up the courage and stood up; they were very observant: exchanging food for resources to strengthen themselves.
And amongst these Castle Lords, the most eye-catching one was Feng Qing. This was because she brought out the highest amount of food, almost up to 500 units, but had the lowest asking price.
Her generosity had been recognized and praised by many Castle Lords; she was their goddess!
As for Lin Yi, he had become a profiteer.
"Sure enough, I can’t underestimate these people! Among billions of Castle Lords, there will always be some powerful ones. If they were careless, they would be left behind!"
Lin Yi did not mind being reprimanded as a profiteer and used as a negative example of Feng Qing. What he cared about was the development of his castle. As long as he was strong enough. The name of a profiteer would not be remembered.Lin Yi clicked on his [Friend Info]《Friend Information》.
From yesterday to today, there were at least millions of Castle Lords who were friendly to him; however, they were all rejected by him.
Coincidentally, he saw Feng Qing in his new friend request list, and there was a [Golden War Lion
] attached to her image.The Golden War Lion was a top-grade unit on the Boundless Continent. Thinking about it, this should be her unit.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, but as usual, he rejected the request. In his opinion, there was no need to add friends in the early stages of the castle's development.
After all, it was difficult to help each other. If there was a conflict of interest between the two sides in the future, they could make contact. The prerequisite was that both sides were not enemies and were not eliminated.
…
Time passed.
It was the third time that the Angel Party led by Shirley returned to the castle. In the courtyard of the castle, there were a large number of carcasses of wild monsters. Today's harvest was several times more than yesterday’s.
The first reason was that the number of little angels had changed from two to four. The second reason was that as a Four-winged Archangel, Shirley was congenitally level 5. Her strength surpassed Little Angel Sear and Todd.
The size and strength of the soldier profession had greatly increased. Naturally, there were even more monsters being hunted in the wild.
Lin Yi believed that his angel team would soon be able to clean up the monsters in the castle's territory. At that time, he could go out for a walk and see if any valuable resources could be collected.
As for participating in hunting battles …
Lin Yi had not thought about it. The reason was simple: he was afraid of death. Everyone feared death, so did he.
Even if his death was meaningful, he did not want to die. After all, death meant being eliminated.
As usual, Lin Yi collected and decomposed the corpses of the monsters that the Angel Party had obtained. He obtained nearly 300 units of food, as well as various kinds of fur and monster materials.
All the food was put up on 《Hyperspace Trading Channel》. The asking price was the same as yesterday.
The purchase price was the same as yesterday. One Crystal for a unit of food, and twenty units of wood or ten units of stone for a unit of food. He could not be known as a profiteer just because of Feng Qing's righteous act. Of course, he was not afraid that no one would buy his food.
After all, there were over a billion Castle Lords in the world. Even if it was the second day, if they were able to recruit and summon a second wave of soldiers, the Castle Lords would still be hungry.
His food was expensive. However, there would always be some hungry Lord of the Castle who came to exchange for it. Even if the Castle Lord could hold on and not eat, the soldiers under them could not. Having their units starve would not only affect their fighting strength, but it would also affect their loyalty. Once a soldier's Loyalty dropped below 60 points. There was a possibility of betrayal.
The losses then wouldn’t simply be quantifiable. Therefore, Lin Yi was not worried that his food would not be sold. Sure enough, it did not take long before he sold out all 300 units of food.
The Castle Lords who bought his food were both happy and pained. While berating Lin Yi for being a profiteer, they ate the food they bought from him.

While Lin Yi was counting the trading materials. On a plain far away from the Dark Forest. A beautiful woman with an excellent figure sat on the back of a Golden Lion. Not far away, a few Golden Lions were hunting a bison.
This woman was Feng Qing!
"He rejected my friend request?"
Feng Qing was stunned.
