Chapter 232: Magical Milk, Huge Business Opportunities! (6000)

Cao Xing smiled and said, "That's right, this is a kind of milk infused with vitality."

"I wonder if you have ever heard of the Cloud Yak?"

Hearing this, a look of contemplation flashed across Hilton's eyes.

Then, as if remembering something, he was suddenly startled.

"You mean… that legendary magical creature?"

Cao Xing smiled and nodded.

Hilton became even more excited, "Goodness! I thought such a creature only existed in legends!"

"I never expected to taste its milk right here!"

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Cao Xing's territory might actually be breeding this creature!

Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to produce such magical milk.

Hilton's gaze was no longer murky; instead, he took a deep look at the [Animal Pen] in the center of the territory.

Cao Xing continued, "Lord Hilton, actually, the milk of this magical creature has another function, and that is to treat internal injuries and hidden ailments."

"I think you should understand its value."

After listening to Cao Xing's explanation, Hilton also understood the preciousness of the Cloud Yak milk, which far exceeded his psychological expectations.

Therefore, he tentatively asked, "Lord Cao Xing, do you mean that you want to trade this magical milk with me?"

Cao Xing nodded.

Hilton said pleasantly, "That's wonderful, Lord Cao Xing! How much do you have? I'll buy it all!"

"Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfying price!"

Hilton felt as if a huge business opportunity was crashing down on him.

If the quantity of Cloud Yak milk in Cao Xing's hands was large enough, he could head to those major cities and widely publicize its magical effects and delicious taste.

It would definitely attract the attention of nobles, tycoons, and even royalty!

Through this transaction, his profits this time might even far exceed the black diamonds from last time!

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, not answering his question immediately, but instead asking in return,

"Lord Hilton, what kind of price can you offer for a liter of milk like this?"

Hearing this question, Hilton also fell into contemplation.

Obviously, the value of Cloud Yak milk was very high.

Most importantly, Hilton saw the prospects of Cao Xing's territory.

There was definitely this magical creature in his territory, which was equivalent to a fixed source of milk production.

If he could establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Cao Xing, the benefits would exceed Hilton's imagination.

Therefore, he slowly extended a finger, and then slowly curled it back down.

"Lord Cao Xing, how about a price of seven thousand crowns per liter?"

Hearing this quotation, a smile also appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

Obviously, this had already exceeded his psychological expectations.

After all, he originally felt that selling it for three or four thousand crowns would be pretty good!

But now, it had directly soared to seven thousand!

This meant that the value of the more than two hundred liters of milk in Cao Xing's hands had already exceeded 1.4 million!

You must know that this was just the yield of those 19 Cloud Yaks over eight days!

This was equivalent to creating an income of 100,000 to 200,000 crowns for him every day!

"Damn! The income from raising cattle is simply too high!"

"Bloody hell, I must seize the opportunity to capture more Cloud Yaks to raise."

"These are simply a flock of chickens that lay golden eggs!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed!

However, creatures like the Cloud Yak were different from other creatures, having a milking period of only two or three months a year.

However, this yield was already very high!

Therefore, Cao Xing smiled and said, "Lord Hilton, you are a visionary merchant."

"In view of your vision, I have decided to sell all two hundred liters of [Cloud Yak Milk] in my possession to you."

Hearing the number two hundred liters, Hilton's pupils also constricted.

Goodness!

He did not understand the habits of the Cloud Yak, nor did he know the milk yield.

But presumably it couldn't be very much.

Yet now, the reserve in Cao Xing's hands far exceeded his imagination!

And as long as these two hundred liters of milk were transported to those major cities and handled through Hilton's connections,

he would earn a huge amount of profit from it!

Hilton was extremely excited.

"Great! Lord Cao Xing, let's trade right now!"

He appeared somewhat impatient.

Cao Xing also nodded and shouted, "Da Zhuang, take three people and go bring the milk up from the underground warehouse."

"Be careful with your movements, don't spill the milk."

The Arctic People working in the distance immediately said respectfully, "Rest assured, Lord, the Arctic People work the most carefully!"

"We will protect this milk as if we were protecting our own wives!"

After saying that, the four Arctic People burrowed into the basement together.

A moment later, the four Arctic People were seen coming out in two groups of two.

They carefully carried up two large wooden barrels.

Each barrel was sealed with 100 liters of [Cloud Yak Milk].

Cao Xing said, "Lord Hilton, should I have them weigh it?"

But Hilton hurriedly waved his hand. "No need, Lord Cao Xing. We are business partners, of course I trust you."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also smiled.

Then, the two sides completed another wave of transactions.

[Transaction successful, you lost [Cloud Yak Milk] * 200L, you acquired [Coins] * 1.4 million…]

…

Cao Xing felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Very good, another 1.4 million crowns in hand!

The money in his possession had already exceeded 5.3 million crowns, which was just enough to buy the two golden items in Hilton's hands.

Of course, Cao Xing also wanted to buy some other things.

Just as he was pondering what to sell next,

Hilton took the initiative to say, "Lord Cao Xing, since you have so much Cloud Yak milk in your possession,"

"Then you should also have clothes made from Cloud Yak fur here, right?"

Cao Xing was not surprised upon hearing this.

After all, the Cloud Yak was very famous, and many people knew that its fur had the function of autonomous heating.

Moreover, he indeed still had 7 sets of clothes in his possession.

But because the yield of this fur was not high, he didn't even have enough for himself.

Therefore, Cao Xing did not want to trade them away for now.

Hilton saw the hesitation on Cao Xing's face and understood that the rarity of the Cloud Yak might somewhat exceed imagination.

Therefore, he said, "Lord Cao Xing, how about this."

"In my personal name, I will offer 1.5 million crowns to buy 1 set of coats from you."

"To be honest, the temperature in this world is simply too low."

"Merchants like us who are away from home year-round suffer even more hardships."

"If there is a piece of clothing like this legendary one that automatically emits heat, to us, it's a moving stove."

"If you are willing to sell one to me, I will definitely remember your kindness!"

Hearing Hilton be so solemn,

Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

1.5 million crowns for a piece of clothing was already quite outrageous.

After all, this was not equipment of golden quality.

But in this world, the value of this kind of clothing exceeded golden equipment.

After all, it had no wearing requirements, and ordinary people could wear it as well.

According to Cao Xing's estimate, if it went to an auction, it could probably sell for more than 1.8 million crowns.

Deducting the transaction fee, the profit would still be around 1.5 million.

This time, Hilton had also given him many discounts, which was equivalent to letting him make a huge profit as well.

In order to maintain a good cooperative relationship,

Cao Xing therefore said, "Alright, Lord Hilton, then I'll sell you one set."

Having said that, he took out a brand-new [Cloud Yak Coat] from his backpack.

Hilton took this coat with almost trembling hands!

With an excited expression, he took off his gloves and gently stroked the blue and white fur on it.

In an instant, he felt the heat radiating from it.

Hilton exclaimed, "By the gods, it's really radiating heat!"

"This is simply too magical!"

Hearing this, expressions of surprise also appeared in the eyes of those from the Shire race.

And Hilton hurriedly had people move over two large chests.

They were tightly packed with over a million crowns.

The two sides completed another wave of transactions.

[Transaction successful: You lost [Cloud Yak Coat] * 1, you acquired [Coins] * 1.5 million…]

…

At this moment, looking at the number of crowns in his hands, Cao Xing's amount had officially reached 6.84 million.

A strong sense of satisfaction arose in his heart!

"This is really great. At this speed of making money, I will soon break through to ten million."

"But the pity is that this money will be spent right away."

Meanwhile, Hilton had already impatiently put on the [Cloud Yak Coat].

The loose coat concealed his short and stubby figure.

Hilton immediately felt waves of heat transmitting from the surface of his body.

A strong sense of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes!

"Great! The heat emitted by this coat is so high. Now, even in snowy weather, I won't have to worry about freezing!"

Listening to Hilton's description, those Shire guards nearby also showed looks of envy in their eyes.

After all, in such a freezing world, who wouldn't want to own such a magical piece of clothing?

However, they didn't have Hilton's financial resources and couldn't afford the clothes in Cao Xing's hands.

At the same time, a look of gratitude appeared in Hilton's eyes.

[Black Lion Chamber of Commerce Hilton's favorability has increased, current favorability: Friendly.]

…

Seeing the system prompt, a smile also appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

"Lord Hilton, do you have any other good things in your hands?"

Hilton's mouse-like tiny eyes carried an expression of anticipation.

After all, this time Cao Xing had brought out too many good things.

The profit brought by this transaction alone had already exceeded his earnings from his previous three trading trips!

This made Hilton feel that he didn't need to go anywhere else in the future; whenever he had free time, he could just come and take a stroll around Lord Cao Xing's territory!

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "No more, Lord Hilton."

There were indeed quite a few good things in his backpack, such as gems, beast meat, magical plants, and so on.

But most of these were for boosting attributes, so he decided to keep them for his own use.

Hearing this, an expression of regret also appeared in Hilton's eyes.

But he quickly recovered.

After all, this time he had already earned more than enough.

Although he gave up some profits, Hilton could still use his connections and methods to earn more crowns.

This was what they called you get what you put in effort for.

Cao Xing continued, "Lord Hilton, although I don't have any other goods on hand,"

"I still want to purchase a batch of things from you."

Hearing this, Hilton also smiled and nodded. "Alright, Lord Cao Xing, take a look at what you need, I will definitely give you as favorable a price as possible."

Cao Xing first looked at the cargo list.

First of all, the most important ones were naturally those two pieces of golden equipment.

Then, there were those pet rations.

Pondering for a moment, Cao Xing had already made up his mind.

"Lord Hilton, I need all the pet rations your caravan brought this time."

Hearing this, Hilton was suddenly startled.

Then, he tentatively said, "Lord Cao Xing, you want this many?"

Cao Xing nodded.

Hilton pondered for a moment, then said, "Since our Black Lion Chamber of Commerce doesn't primarily deal in the pet business, the quantity of pet rations brought this time isn't very large."

"Among them, there are 50 pet rations of green quality, and I can give them to you for a price of 50,000 crowns."

"There are a total of 20 blue-quality pet rations. I'll give you a discounted price of 180,000 crowns."

"As for the purple-quality pet rations, they are extremely troublesome to make, and the required materials are also very hard to find, so their price has always remained high."

"I only brought 7 of them. I'll give you all of them for a discounted price of 450,000. How does that sound?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

Adding them up, a total of 77 pet rations for 680,000 crowns was already considered a pretty good price.

If he could casually catch a golden salmon, it would definitely exceed this expenditure!

Thus, Cao Xing said on the spot, "That's fine, Lord Hilton."

Hearing this, the merchant nodded and prepared to have someone fetch the goods.

At this moment, Cao Xing said, "Don't rush, Lord Hilton. Aside from those pet rations, I also want those two pieces of gold equipment of yours."

Hearing this, Hilton was startled once again.

He found that this Lord Cao Xing was truly the type of person all merchants loved the most.

The kind of person who could both make money and spend money.

The two pieces of gold equipment were worth over 5 million crowns in total.

Even the nobles in the city wouldn't be willing to shell out so many crowns all at once.

Yet the other party bought them the moment he said he wanted them, without any hesitation at all.

What he didn't know was that, for Cao Xing, no amount of money could compare to the enhancement of his own strength.

Therefore, converting these resources into his own strength was the most important thing.

Hilton said, "Lord Cao Xing, it is naturally fine if you want to purchase these two pieces of gold equipment, but there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

"That Evil Eye Greatshield has an evil aura on it, which will produce some side effects on the user. Moreover, it is rumored to contain a curse, and that batch of adventurers who found this shield back then almost all died."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing was also slightly startled.

Goodness, can a shield be this ominous?

However, he didn't feel much fear.

Hilton continued,

"As for the other ancient weapon, it was also excavated by that group of dwarves in a dangerous ruin after paying a heavy price in casualties."

"Although it isn't as ominous as that shield, using it requires a massive amount of Magic Energy Crystals. It's a complete money sink."

"Lord Cao Xing, do you still want to buy it?"

Hearing Hilton finish, Cao Xing also fell into thought.

It was clear that he didn't want to scam Cao Xing, so he explicitly stated the side effects of these two pieces of gold equipment to him.

However, as mentioned before, Cao Xing was quite confident in his own strength.

Thus, he said directly, "Lord Hilton, thanks for the reminder. Just sell these two pieces of equipment directly to me."

Hearing this, Hilton said no more.

"Since Lord Cao Xing wants both pieces of equipment, I'll give you another discounted price: 5 million crowns flat. What do you think?"

Hearing this number, a smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Clearly, this directly saved him 300,000 crowns, which was still quite good.

"Very well, then many thanks, Lord Hilton."

Hilton waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite.

Both parties completed another wave of transactions.

[Transaction successful. You have lost [Coins] * 5.68 million. You have obtained [Evil Eye Greatshield (Gold)] * 1, [Ancient Weapon – Super Energy Pistol (Gold)] * 1, [Specialized Pet Rations (Purple)] * 7, [Specialized Pet Rations (Blue)] …]

With the items in hand, both parties wore satisfied smiles on their faces.

Cao Xing said, "Lord Hilton, there is nothing else I wish to purchase."

"I'll have someone arrange rooms for you to rest first. The grain you need will be moved to your carriages shortly."

Hilton was deeply moved.

Then, under Assam's lead, they were arranged into three empty residential rooms to stay in.

As they walked away…

Cao Xing impatiently checked the items he had obtained from this transaction!

First of all, it was the purple-quality pet rations he had been anticipating the most.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Specialized Pet Rations (Purple): High-grade rations made by adding a large amount of internal organs and eyeballs from high-tier creatures, along with a small amount of Lucky Mushroom and Harke Frog saliva. After feeding, it increases the pet's loyalty by 10 points. The feeding limit per pet is 3 times.]

(Note: One of the top-tier rations of the Harke Frog race. The specific production method requires finding the relevant recipe.)

…

Cao Xing nodded in realization, "This thing adds quite a lot of loyalty. Just 3 can directly increase it by 30 loyalty."

"No wonder it sells so expensively."

However, he wasn't going to use it to feed pets, but rather for fishing.

Cao Xing also noticed the introduction above.

Making this kind of pet ration required the material [Lucky Mushroom].

And in his backpack, he happened to have several [Giant Lucky Mushrooms]!

Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that given the chance, I also need to acquire the ration recipe of the Harke Frog race."

"In that way, I can mass-produce this kind of ration myself!"

After all, purple-grade pet rations sold for 60,000 to 70,000 each, which was simply not something ordinary people could afford to consume.

If he could master the production method in his own hands, not only could he save a massive amount of resources…

Cao Xing could also make a huge profit.

However, there were currently no clues regarding the recipe, so he could only put this matter aside for now.

Then, he began to check the next item.

Next was that shield evaluated by Hilton as carrying an ominous nature.

Cao Xing took it out.

The material of this shield was somewhat bizarre. Its surface felt soft to the touch, resembling the texture of rubber.

With a pitch-dark red color throughout, it looked as if it were wrapped in a layer of flesh and blood.

Coupled with that, in the middle part of the shield, there was a protruding eyeball.

This eyeball was currently keeping its eyes closed, but it seemed as though it would open at any moment!

"Good grief, look at this appearance!"

"No wonder Hilton said it's so ominous!"

"With this big eye, who wouldn't be spooked?"

Cao Xing smiled, then glanced at its attributes.

[Evil Eye Greatshield (Gold)]

[Quality: Precious]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Strength +150, Constitution +150, Health +5000, Spirit -200]

(Equipment Introduction: This is an evil shield. Do not make eye contact with it, or you will lose your own consciousness —— Soul-Suing Master: Clement Knight)

…

"Good grief, such high armor?"

"And these bonus attributes are simply too formidable!"

"Directly adding 5000 Health, plus 150 Constitution—that's a bonus of 8000 Health points right there!"

Cao Xing was filled with amazement.

You truly get what you pay for!

Although this shield was sold at an exorbitant high price of over 3 million, its attributes also exceeded Cao Xing's expectations.

However, Cao Xing also saw the side effects on it.

One was reducing 200 Spirit points, and the other was having 500 Health points drained every second.

For Cao Xing, this didn't have much of an impact.

After all, his current Ice Healing Art + Andrew's Life Bloom already achieved a recovery amount of over 2,000 per second.

Draining 500 Health points per second was completely painless and negligible!

Cao Xing laughed directly.

With an excited look on his face.

He glanced at the other piece of gold equipment.

[Ancient Weapon – Super Energy Pistol (Gold)]

[Quality: Precious]

[Equipment Level: Level 30 and above]
