Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World

This time, the total number of monsters on Xiaolianzi Mountain is approximately 38,000, which is about ten percent more than the rabbits initially estimated.

Considering the concealment of the mountain and forest terrain, the rabbits' estimation can be said to be very, very precise.

After all, dynamic statistics is a difficult task in itself.

Among these nearly 40,000 monsters,

the number of dual-headed bulls is close to 8,000, and the number of live dual-headed bulls successfully captured from multiple angles is about 5,000.

The weight of an adult local beef cattle is approximately between 0.5-0.8 tons, while the weight of an ordinary dual-headed bull in the Damo Realm is double that of local beef cattle, that is, 1-1.5 tons.

The weight of a dual-headed bull that has reached the Foundation Establishment stage is heavier, averaging between two to three tons.

It was previously mentioned that a dual-headed bull's movement area is roughly fifteen square meters.

The so-called movement area refers to the space where it can normally turn its head, circle around, and lie on its side.

The actual footprint of a dual-headed bull's body is around 6-8 square meters.

Now, all the dual-headed bulls have been sealed and suppressed with Tier One Sealing Talismans. These Sealing Talismans have a long duration, and the rabbits also have anesthetics as an auxiliary means.

Therefore, a magically modified military transport truck can, under the premise of ensuring the dual-headed bulls are not squeezed and have enough breathing space,

carry fifteen to twenty dual-headed bulls on a single level or thirty to forty dual-headed bulls per truck without difficulty.

These military trucks are the off-road grade Dongfeng transport vehicles from the Wan Mountain Special Operations Vehicle Factory—also known as the legendary WS51200 artifact, completely in line with Guangmen standards, and Modu has a stock of them.

Honestly, any so-called hundred-ton kings are just little brothers compared to vehicles like the WS51200.

After all, this vehicle was specifically designed as an off-road grade super heavy-duty truck for western... western expeditions.

Let alone the dirt roads in the Damo Realm which, although hard to traverse, have evident passage conditions.

It was designed for the most adverse conditions of climbing steep rocky inclines of 43.7°, and it was tested to reach up to, you know, 2467 meters on a certain mountain for a certain family's good day.

Meanwhile, the transfer operation of this vehicle is much better than that of troops and heavy equipment because it itself is designed for sectional deployment.

This time, the rabbits brought over more than eighty WS51200s, and there are no transportation capacity problems at all—during the preparation period of about forty to fifty days, dismantling and transporting dozens of WS51200s is not a difficult task.

After all, the most critical part of this vehicle is the chassis and related supporting equipment. Other parts are easy to handle, with the current conditions of water pressure equipment at the military base, on-site assembly is very easy.

Therefore, under such transportation conditions, over five thousand dual-headed bulls can be transported back with just two or three round trips.

In addition, the rabbits also used the remaining Sealing Talismans to capture about five or six hundred live monsters, preparing to transport them back to the Life Experiment Base for the next step of research.

These live monsters only count as an extra trip.

But other than that, the remaining monster remains are quite troublesome.

After all, the total number of monsters is 38,000, deducting the 8,000 dual-headed bulls, there are still nearly 30,000.

Currently, the rabbit's monster elimination rate has reached 90%, and with the continuous clearing actions of the infantry units within the forest, the final elimination rate of 96% or even 98% is not a big problem.

Some third-tier monsters or well-preserved monster remains, of course, need no further discussion, just a big wave of the hand to transport them back solves it.

But some of the less intact remains are rather troublesome.

For example, there's a type of monster in the beast tide called the Wind Evil Turtle, whose most valuable part is the shell that can be used to refine defensive magical artifacts.

But the Wind Evil Turtles in this beast tide are low in realm, so their shells were basically shattered to bits by the bombardment.

The remaining broken bits, to be honest, still have some value, but are very limited.

It's a situation where 'the time spent processing it is less profitable than mining coal'.

The situation with other remaining monsters is similar, lacking relevant research samples, and their commercial value is negligible.

So the general staff calculated and turned their attention to the group from Star City, who were destined to appear.

The previously captured Tier Two Blue-Beaked Bird laid the groundwork for this, just like many local products that hire representatives, where the endorsement fee is high, but in reality, it can be recouped from the next tier of customers.

This is the legendary cost-transference technique.

Luo Xiaotai had no idea he had long been calculated by a nation's think tank and at this moment, was a bit dumbfounded listening to Lei Yiming talk eloquently in front of him.

"City Lord Luo, our trade association received incorrect information this time, the number of monsters in the mountain is thirty to forty percent more than what we knew, so the spatial bags we prepared are relatively limited, meaning many monster remains can't be taken away. Initially, according to the idea of several Core Formation Realm offerings, we intended to just burn them all, but now that City Lord Luo has appeared, don't you think there's a chance for a win-win situation?"

Lei Yiming smiled as he patted Luo Xiaotai on the shoulder, his expression looking exceedingly pleasant and sincere.

After all, dealing with foreigners requires collaborating individuals, and his professional acting skills match those of veteran actors.

In fact, he wasn't wrong either, as for Star City this indeed was a good opportunity to snatch a bargain.

If handled properly, earning some Spirit Stones and even amassing a small fortune would be relatively easy.

Additionally, Star City had recently sold a batch of monster materials to other cities through reselling, so it still had some spare cash on hand.

Therefore.....

Luo Xiaotai was truly tempted.

Although Star City is a small city with only one Foundation Establishment Cultivator and no such high-end items as spatial bags, it's near Xiaolianzi Mountain—just over twenty kilometers away on flat plains, making it very easy to organize a group to transport the remains.

So he turned his head and exchanged a glance with the city offering and his own uncle Luo Feng, and both saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes:

This deal can be done!

After making up his mind, he immediately looked at Lei Yiming and asked somewhat impatiently:

"Steward Lei, I wonder what the price of these beast corpses is?"

Lei Yiming glanced at him, thinking to himself that this small-city lord couldn't keep his composure.

He then repeated the content that was instructed to him through the earpiece:

"City Lord Luo, second-tier remains with less than 20% intact, first-tier remains with less than 40% intact, and non-tier beast remains with less than 70% intact are within the scope of resources we can trade. There's no issue with that, right?"

Seeing Luo Xiaotai nod in agreement, Lei Yiming continued:

"As the city lord, you must know that a beast in its normal complete state can yield about three kilograms of material. Based on the current soaring material prices, that's... around twelve to close to thirteen spirit stones.

But considering the preservation state of these beast remains today... the yield might only be around 2.3 to 2.5 spirit stones.

Hmm... So I propose we calculate one beast at the price of two spirit stones."

To be fair.

The price offered by Lei Yiming isn't exactly a rip-off.

Because these beasts are not low-cost items produced by local industrial production lines; they have a relatively high 'manufacturing' cost.

Not to mention the manpower the rabbits put into this battle, just the expenses for various munitions are significant numbers.

For example, each round of the Land Shield 2000's 30mm armor-piercing ammunition costs over a thousand dollars to manufacture.

And what's the firing rate of the Land Shield 2000?

Over four thousand rounds per minute!

This thing, like the 1130, offers unparalleled user experience—cool, accurate, and powerful—but it burns through money like crazy.

Not to mention the rabbits deployed eight combat modules this time, a total of forty-eight Land Shield 2000 combat vehicles.

Of course, this defense system mainly targets flying beasts and didn't keep firing at full power throughout the operations.

In summary,

considering the expenses on anti-air missiles, grenade launchers, and the costs of heavy armored vehicles, the average cost of killing each beast wouldn't be less than six hundred dollars.

Therefore, selling them for two spirit stones per beast isn't heartless, it just barely makes twenty times the cost, which still results in a net loss.

But no matter how much the rabbits make, this price is still profitable for Dingxing City.

If Luo Xiaotai manages it well, profiting 0.3-0.5 spirit stones per beast shouldn't be difficult.

But after calculating in his mind for a while, Luo Xiaotai frowned.

Two spirit stones per beast, and the number of beasts meeting the conditions here is probably no less than twenty thousand.

That comes to a total of forty thousand spirit stones.

Dingxing City is not a big city, even though it sold some beast materials recently, the number of spirit stones at hand is relatively limited.

First, it's obvious that a beast tide that could be held off by a city of this scale wouldn't be too massive.

Second, because it's difficult to organize a sizable trade caravan within the city, the method for trading beast materials in Dingxing City is not to go to the market to sell, but to resell them at a lower markup to another Giant Spirit City within hundreds of miles of Xiaolianzi Mountain.

At that time, the Ziqiong Market wasn't open yet, and the price of beast materials hadn't surged.

So even though Dingxing City has a little bit of money, it is far from being affluent.

At least, taking out forty thousand spirit stones all at once would be very difficult.

Without money in hand, you lack confidence in many things.

So Luo Xiaotai, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, could only hesitantly say to Lei Yiming, this mortal,:

"Steward Lei, can the price be lowered a bit?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid not."

Lei Yiming heard this and decisively shook his head. It seemed he had thought of something, sighed, and looked into the forest with a clear look of worry on his face.

Seeing this, Luo Xiaotai could only hold his tongue.

It was obvious.

This time the Lighthouse Commerce Association probably paid a significant price for the beast tide, maybe many high-level cultivators were severely injured, isn't that why Lei Yiming didn't put on an act now?

After all, if the other party had everything prepared, he wouldn't have had the chance to seize this opportunity.

But understanding is one thing; Luo Xiaotai still wanted to make one last effort:

"But Steward Lei, to be honest, I currently only have just over twenty thousand...."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw Lei Yiming sternly reprimand Wang Qiang, who was standing by following the conversation in Damo language:

"Huh? Comrade Xiao Wang, what did you say? A taming technique for flying mounts? No, no, what taming technique?"

Wang Qiang: "???"
