Chapter 172: Powerful Beast Meat, a Sensational Trading Market!

When it became easier for Survivors to move around, they could even build a city in a short time by pooling their strength.

Of course, this would require a lot of resources.

Cao Xing replied: "Let's talk about it when I have an idea. For now, let's discuss the Moses Grass."

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll go have someone pick the Moses Grass right now."

Wu Xinghu was also very straightforward and didn't dwell on this topic.

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Isn't it snowing heavily outside? Can you go out in this weather?"

Wu Xinghu laughed: "It's fine. One of our brothers from Tiger Hall discovered it near his territory."

"He saw your acquisition post the day before yesterday, so he specifically kept an eye out for it."

Cao Xing immediately replied: "That's fine. Tell your brother that when he harvests the Moses Grass, check if there are any grass seeds or anything similar and bring them back as well."

"I can pay extra for the grass seeds."

With the grass seeds, Cao Xing could grow the Moses Grass in his own territory.

Wu Xinghu replied: "Alright, I'll tell my brother."

Both sides hung up the communication, and then came the silent wait.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Wu Xinghu replied directly: "It has all been picked. There are over 30,000 stalks of Moses Grass and over 10,000 grass seeds!"

Hearing this number, joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

He immediately replied: "Good, put them on the market. For those Moses Grass seeds, I can offer another blue-tier weapon."

For Cao Xing, the grass seeds were far more important than the Moses Grass itself, so offering another blue-tier weapon was nothing.

However, when the other party heard this, he laughed and replied: "No need, Great Lord Cao Xing. Let's stick to the original price."

"We are all in the same region, and we might have contact in the future. Just consider this as me trying to get familiar with a big shot like you."

Wu Xinghu's tone was very humble, completely placing his status below Cao Xing's.

Hearing this, Cao Xing couldn't help but think more highly of this person.

Compared to Fang Long, Zhou Bo, and the others, he seemed to have a bigger picture and more foresight.

Cao Xing didn't hesitate and replied: "Alright, then go ahead and list them."

A moment later, both sides completed a transaction.

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Moses Grass (Green)] * 37764, You obtained [Moses Grass Seeds (Green)] * 13724, You lost [Martial Fighter Dagger (Purple)] * 1]

Looking at the pile of Moses Grass that had suddenly appeared in his backpack, joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

After the transaction was completed, Wu Xinghu sent a message: "I won't disturb you further, Great Lord Cao Xing."

"If you need my help in the future, you can contact me. I will do my best to help you accomplish it."

To be honest, Cao Xing didn't expect Wu Xinghu to be so easy to talk to.

Moreover, it seemed like he really wanted to build a good relationship with Cao Xing.

After all, as a legion leader, the weight of this promise was quite significant.

Cao Xing also replied: "Thanks, I'll contact you if I have anything."

"Alright."

After speaking, both sides hung up the communication.

At this moment, Cao Xing fell into thought. He was considering whether or not to create a legion.

After all, as Wu Xinghu said, the various functions of a legion were very convenient, and legions were the major trend for future development.

A moment later, Cao Xing shook his head and said: "Forget it. With my current rate of development, there's no need to create a legion yet."

"Moreover, Eternal Power is my secret and cannot be easily exposed in front of people I don't trust."

Cao Xing shook his head, pushing this thought away.

Then, his gaze was drawn to the pile of Moses Grass in his backpack.

With joy in his tone, he said: "Finally received the Moses Grass. Let's check its attributes first."

[Moses Grass (Green): Magic Plant]

(A type of food containing faint magic power. After consuming it, it can replenish a small amount of satiety and hydration.)

…

Cao Xing chuckled: "Sure enough, just like Wu Xinghu said, this thing doesn't have any special effects; it's just for people to eat."

Of course, the satiety it restores is very low.

"Very good. With so much Moses Grass, this group of Cloud Yaks can eat for a while."

"Then, the other Moses Grass seeds can also be planted. With the growth acceleration of the Pale Tree, I shouldn't have to worry about this kind of food in the future."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, another pending goal had been completed.

Next was to sell the wild boar meat obtained in the Witch Forest today.

He glanced at his inventory.

[Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green) * 3883]

[Purified Elite Wild Boar Meat (Blue) * 817]

[Purified Boss-level Wild Boar Meat (Purple) * 383]

…

These wild boar meats, after being purified by the Beast God Altar, had their attributes improved.

Green-tier wild boar meat could add 3 points of Strength and 2 points of Agility.

Blue-tier wild boar meat could add 5 points of Strength and 3 points of Agility.

Purple-tier wild boar meat could directly add 7 points of Strength and 5 points of Agility!

More importantly, these three types of wild boar meat could be consumed together.

Added together, that was 15 points of Strength and 10 points of Agility, equivalent to the attribute increase of a Tier 1 creature at level three or four!

"Very good. With so much meat with powerful attributes, it's enough for me to trade for quite a few resources."

"Moreover, my green-tier wild boar meat can be sold as blue-tier beast meat, which can be exchanged for more Ice Dragon Marks!"

Ever since the [Dragon Shop] opened, everyone understood the value of Ice Dragon Marks, so the price had risen slightly.

After this period of trading, many materials had a fixed market price.

For example: 100g of green-tier beast meat with attributes was roughly equal to 2 Ice Dragon Marks or glacier shards.

In other words, a whole piece of green-tier beast meat could only be exchanged for about 20 Ice Dragon Marks.

Of course, that was still a lot.

You have to know, a Survivor could only obtain about two or three hundred Ice Dragon Marks a day by killing Ice Nest Monsters.

The price of blue-tier beast meat was slightly higher; one whole piece could be exchanged for about 50 Ice Dragon Marks.

In other words, if all three thousand plus pieces of green beast meat in Cao Xing's hands were sold at the price of blue-tier beast meat, he could exchange for 190,000 Ice Dragon Marks in one go!

Adding in the Ice Dragon Marks he already had, he could directly exchange for two Golden Treasure Chests!

Thinking of this, Cao Xing's breath hitched!

Of course, this was just an ideal situation.

After all, he still needed to trade for materials like glacier shards, elemental crystals, and Ice Crystal Stones.

In reality, getting over 100,000 Ice Dragon Marks would be good enough.

Suppressing his excitement, he opened the trading market and set the consignment information.

[Consignment Item: Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)]

[Inventory Reserve: Large Quantity]

[Required Items: Ice Dragon Mark, glacier shard, Primary Elemental Crystal, Ice Crystal Stone.]

[Consignor: Cao Xing]

[Seller's Note: Beast meat with attributes equivalent to blue-tier, a Gospel for Strength-based professions. 100g Forest Wild Boar Meat = 5 Ice Dragon Marks and glacier shards, = 1 Primary Elemental Crystal, = 2 Ice Crystal Stones, etc…]

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing added the [Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll].

Because he wanted to build an army, he needed at least one hundred Wild Boar Warriors.

And Cao Xing was still short of a few dozen recruitment scrolls.

The price set was: 1 Tier 1 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll = 10 pieces of beast meat.

After all, at the current stage, everyone knew the importance of recruitment scrolls, and no one would easily take out such an item that could enhance strength to sell.

Only a high enough price could move the Survivors.

…

A moment later, Survivors browsing the [Market] quickly discovered this consignment information for beast meat.

There were quite a few Survivors who had obtained green-tier beast meat now, and one or two lucky ones could be seen selling beast meat every day.

However, since the same type of beast meat only took effect the first time it was consumed, what everyone needed now was new beast meat.

Clearly, the Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat in Cao Xing's hands had never appeared on the market before.

Plus his name, it quickly attracted the attention of some Survivors.

They were discussing in the chat channel.

Qiao Hong: "Brothers, Great Lord Cao Xing seems to have listed a new batch of beast meat again. It seems to be wild boar meat this time."

Cheng Yao: "I saw it too, but Great Lord Cao Xing is selling it a bit expensive this time… How come he's selling green-tier beast meat for the same price as blue-tier?"

Zheng Wen: "Of course it's expensive! Didn't you see the attributes of this beast meat? If Great Lord Cao Xing sold it according to the green-tier standard, wouldn't he be losing a fortune?"

"Indeed, indeed."

Others echoed.

Huang Ligang: "Haha! I'm going to trade immediately. Every time Great Lord Cao Xing lists a batch of beast meat, I buy a batch. Just buying beast meat from him has already given me an extra two or three levels of attributes!"

Xie Zihao: "Me too. By eating this meat, my attributes surpassed Ice Nest Monsters of the same level. After killing these monsters, I got quite a few Ice Dragon Marks."

Bai Shi: "Brothers, charge! Star God's reserves are very sufficient this time. Besides eating it ourselves and feeding our families, our subordinates can also eat it to improve their attributes!"

Hearing this, the other Survivors realized something.

Yes!

They could not only eat it themselves, but those recruited combat units, and even the Arctic People, could eat the meat to improve their attributes!

Seeing this message, Cao Xing also laughed.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "There are quite a few smart people among the Survivors in District 174!"

"In this way, it has expanded my potential market by several times."

You have to know, there are only 29,000 people left in District 174 now.

And Cao Xing's beast meat could sell over 30,000 portions. Even if everyone bought one portion, it wouldn't sell out.

However, now that they know they can improve the attributes of their subordinates as well, everyone will buy more beast meat.

Because most of the surviving Survivor lords now have several combat units.

Furthermore, this beast meat not only boosts the attributes of the subjects but also increases their loyalty, effectively killing two birds with one stone.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing instantly received a large number of trade notifications.

[Trade successful, you received [glacier shard] * 100, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)] * 2]

[Trade successful, you received [Ice Dragon Mark] * 200, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)] * 4]

[Trade successful, you received [Ice Crystal Stone] * 30, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)] * 1]

[Trade successful, you received [Primary Elemental Crystal] * 10, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)] * 1]

[Trade successful…]

Since Cao Xing only intended to trade the green-grade Wild Boar Meat for these basic materials this time, most of what he received were these items.

As time passed, more and more people received the news that Cao Xing was selling a large amount of beast meat with attributes comparable to blue-quality items on the trade channel.

Through these few days of market cultivation, the resources in the hands of the Survivor lords had gradually become abundant.

Moreover, because the prices were already set, Cao Xing didn't need to haggle; they could just buy them directly.

The frantic trade notifications kept flooding the screen.

Half an hour later, Cao Xing had sold a full 3,500 portions of [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Green)]!

Cao Xing then ended the consignment.

He kept the remaining three hundred or so portions for himself and his subjects to eat.

Looking at his harvest, a look of intense joy appeared on Cao Xing's face!

[Ice Dragon Mark * 103,100] [glacier shard * 55,420] [Primary Elemental Crystal * 1,742] [Intermediate Elemental Crystal * 134] [Ice Crystal Stone (Green) * 532] [Tier 1 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll * 3] plus some miscellaneous materials…

"Very good! A full 100,000 Ice Dragon Marks, combined with the number of Ice Dragon Marks I already have, that's nearly 190,000!"

"Now, not only is it enough for me to exchange for a Gold Treasure Chest, but I can also exchange for over 90 Primary Heart of Strength, allowing all those Ascalon soldiers to advance to Tier 2!"

"However, it is a bit regrettable that I only received 3 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls this time."

Cao Xing shook his head.

He knew that Survivors wouldn't easily trade away such items.

Cao Xing took a glance and found that the Survivor lords in the chat channel were still unsatisfied.

And he was also preparing to start the second round of trading.

…

Cheng Fushi: "Great Lord Cao Xing is truly strong; every time he sells beast meat, it's a transaction of ten thousand portions!"

Wang Yuan: "Indeed, and the beast meat that Great Lord Cao Xing sells has very good attributes."

Just then, a Survivor named Qiao Ji said: "It's good, alright… but the price is too expensive. He has already earned countless resources from his previous trades; he should give us some benefits now and lower the price…"

As soon as this person spoke, he was immediately refuted by other Survivors.

Fu Guangyang: "Hey you upstairs, do you know what you're talking about? Go check the World Channel and see how ridiculous the prices are for some people selling in other zones, especially in the early stages; a single piece of meat could bankrupt an entire territory!"

Chen Mingyang: "That's right, Great Lord Cao Xing's prices are very conscientious. If it weren't for his beast meat increasing my attributes, I might have died in the early stages and wouldn't have been able to hold on until now."

Lou Hanxin: "Exactly, I checked the World Channel, and the number of online people in many zones is much lower than in our Zone 174. There are several zones with less than twenty thousand people left, which is more than half dead. I'm not just buttering up Great Lord Cao Xing, but because many of us did indeed survive because of Great Lord Cao Xing's beast meat."

"If he were like other zones, asking for an exorbitant price for a piece of meat, preventing other Survivors from developing, and then getting swallowed by Ice Nest Monsters… those people might have enjoyed it in the early stages, but when everyone dies later, let's see what they do."

"This is a virtuous cycle; Great Lord Cao Xing earns resources, and we can survive and achieve better development."

Hearing this person finish, other Survivors nodded in agreement.

Through the previous few trades, Cao Xing had already established a good reputation.

Just then, a Survivor named Zheng Lu exclaimed: "Brothers, look at the market quickly, Great Lord Cao Xing has listed new beast meat again!"

"Damn, it's actually Forest Wild Boar Meat with attributes comparable to purple quality!"

"Holy crap! The attributes added are so high, it's almost comparable to my two-level increase!"

The Survivors were extremely surprised, seemingly not expecting that Cao Xing could even trade such powerful beast meat.

"Hurry and see what Great Lord Cao Xing wants?"

They looked at the market.

They found that Cao Xing had already set the conditions.

However, the trade price was much higher.

1 piece of blue-grade Wild Boar Meat = 200 Ice Dragon Marks or glacier shards.

1 piece of blue-grade Wild Boar Meat = 20 pieces of Mithril or 10 Intermediate Elemental Crystals.

Moreover, Cao Xing specifically added a message.

Buying various recruitment scrolls, prioritizing Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls.

1 Tier 1 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll = 5 pieces of blue-grade beast meat.

1 Tier 1 recruitment scroll for any unit = 3 pieces of blue-grade beast meat.

Including other material resources, it had increased by almost 4 times.

But fortunately, it could still be traded in 100g portions.

This meant that Survivor lords only needed to pay 20 Ice Dragon Marks to enjoy the attribute bonus.

For a moment, the Survivors were pleasantly surprised!

"Haha! I still have over 300 Ice Dragon Marks left; I'm going to trade for a whole piece directly and give it to my beast-girl warrior, her loyalty will skyrocket!"

"Damn, brother, where did you recruit your beast-girl warrior? Tell me, I'm willing to trade a mage-girl recruitment scroll with you."

"Upstairs, take me with you."

"Those who have Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls are in luck; one scroll can actually trade for 5 pieces of beast meat!"

"Haha! I happen to have two, I'm going to make a fortune this time!"

As mentioned above, various recruitment scrolls are extremely precious.

Basically, not many people would sell them.

But as the saying goes, rarity makes things valuable; Cao Xing's blue-grade Wild Boar Meat added far too many attributes!

Before this, no one had ever sold beast meat with such high attributes.

The Survivors started scrambling to buy!

The trade notifications flooding the screen appeared again.

[Trade successful, you received [Ice Dragon Mark] * 200, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Blue)] * 1]

[Trade successful, you received [glacier shard] * 20, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Blue)] * 100g]

[Trade successful, you received [Tier 1 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll] * 1, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Blue)] * 5]

[Trade successful, you received [Intermediate Elemental Crystal] * 10, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Blue)] * 1]

[Trade successful, you received [Mithril] * 20, you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Blue)] * 1]

[Trade successful…]

This time, because he was selling blue-grade beast meat, Cao Xing traded for some more advanced materials.

Intermediate Elemental Crystals, Mithril, etc.

Ten minutes later.

All 700 portions of blue Wild Boar Meat that Cao Xing consigned were sold out.

And he received again.

[Ice Dragon Mark * 68,720] [glacier shard * 55,740] [Intermediate Elemental Crystal * 244] [Mithril * 3,042] [Tier 1 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll * 17] [Tier 1 Imperial Warrior Recruitment Scroll * 3] [Tier 1 Imperial Archer Recruitment Scroll * 2] [Tier 2 Beast Bone Light Armor Blueprint * 1] [Tier 2 Leather Armor Blueprint * 1]

Now, the Ice Dragon Marks in his hands had broken through 260,000 in one fell swoop!

"Good, good, good! With so many materials, it's completely enough to exchange for 2 Gold Treasure Chests!"

An expression of wild joy appeared on Cao Xing's face!

However, this time he still only received 17 Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls.

Still unable to form a legion!

Even though he offered a high price of 1 recruitment scroll = 5 pieces of Wild Boar Meat, he didn't receive many Wild Boar Warriors.

After all, among a large number of unit types, Wild Boar Warriors were considered relatively powerful.

Many Survivors summoned them immediately after obtaining them.

Cao Xing pondered: "However, although Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls are very rare, in Zone 174 with tens of thousands of people, I don't believe I can't even scrape together a few dozen."

"It seems I must bring out some heavy goods!"
