Chapter 269 Big Deal!
That evening, everyone finished their dinner at the city lord's mansion.
"Brother! Today's sales figures are impressive. The beastmen's enthusiasm for shopping is extremely high, and the sales have far exceeded our expectations..." Honglian routinely summarized the day's revenue and reported it to Xiao Yu.
"2997 ears of corn were sold! Total revenue was 23.24 yuan!"
"2712 tomatoes sold! Turnover of 10.31 yuan!"
"We also have cabbage, Jerusalem artichokes and other vegetables, and we've sold quite a lot of each of them."
"Weapons, water, pottery, and so on—hundreds of each item were sold..."
……
"The food court has the highest revenue, and there are still several groups of customers eating. Today's revenue is 69.4112 energy stones. The total revenue of all shops in the entire commercial street is a staggering 128.53!"
"So many?" The women were all surprised when they heard the number.
It's important to know that most of the transactions Honglian mentioned earlier involved fast-moving consumer goods.
Even if you reduce your spending by more than half tomorrow, it won't be a huge amount if you spend so much today.
In that case, wouldn't you be earning hundreds of thousands of energy stones every day?
"That's really good!" Xiao Yu was also pleasantly surprised by the number.
He underestimated the wealth of the orcs in Beast City! Each of them was worth at least several thousand!
"Lord Xiao Yu, you've made so much money off the people of my Beast City today? It's all thanks to me promoting you!" Medusa showed no dissatisfaction with her people spending so much in Dragon City; instead, she teased them with a smile.
After all, the fact that the tribespeople spend a lot means that they have tasted various delicacies and bought a large number of daily necessities.
After this ordeal, the lives of her people will be much better, and she, as queen, is naturally very happy.
"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "It's already dark, I'll treat you to a good meal later."
"Hmm?" Medusa raised an eyebrow slightly.
There's something off about what Xiao Yu said.
However, she didn't think much of it.
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, the already dark sky suddenly lit up with a bright green light.
“Medusa, this is the Night-Shining Domain of my Dragon City. It will be of great help to you!” Xiao Yu said, and then took the lead into the courtyard.
The women followed suit, closing their eyes to enjoy the moment.
Even though it has been bathed in the glowing field countless times.
But... that feeling of comfort is still intoxicating and irresistible.
Not to mention Queen Medusa, who was bathing in the glowing realm for the first time.
"Mmm~ So comfortable!" Queen Medusa, who was always aloof and queenly, let out a soft moan, closing her beautiful eyes as she enjoyed the emerald light.
With her level of cultivation, she could tell at a glance that this towering tree was already at the seventh level.
The light it is emitting now contains a rich life-divine quality.
She is currently in a weakened state, her body like a sponge, frantically devouring her life essence.
Soon, she felt that her physical condition had recovered considerably.
"Hmm? It's over?" But to the Queen's disappointment, the glowing field ended very quickly.
"Don't rush, the glowing field only lasts for half an hour, but it's available every day." Seeing Medusa's unsatisfied expression, Xiao Yu shook his head with amusement and reminded her.
"Oh, that's not bad either!" Medusa's beautiful eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
If this continues, she should be able to fully recover to her peak condition in just a few days.
The following day, the beastmen's consumption surge noticeably decreased by more than half.
After all... most orcs are just trying it out on the first day, and once the novelty wears off, they won't be so crazy about it anymore.
Moreover, their energy stones are also limited.
However, Xiao Yu was not worried because an even bigger business opportunity was coming.
In the morning, Hou Ji, along with Zhu Gang, Gou Dao, and other high-ranking officials from the Beast City, came to visit Xiao Yu to discuss a large-scale transaction.
"Your Majesty, you are more familiar with City Lord Xiao Yu, why don't you go and talk to him?"
Although the City of Beasts does possess a considerable amount of energy stones, there are simply too many other things to purchase.
In order to save costs as much as possible, Hou Ji even made a list, indicating which items were most needed by the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and which must be traded with Dragon City as soon as possible.
Hou Ji also found Queen Medusa, who was visiting the city lord's mansion, and asked her to talk to Xiao Yu.
However, the Queen refused outright.
She has been working so hard and exhausted all these years, it's rare for her to have a break.
How could I possibly give up my vacation to come back to work?
Moreover, given that man's stinginess, if she tries to bargain with him, she might end up being taken advantage of.
“City Lord, there’s no need for that!” At this moment, a gentle voice rang out, and Xiao Yu appeared in a flash. “Dragon City and Beast City are brotherly nations, and we would never betray you.”
"Hehe! The Lord of Dragon City is right!" Hou Ji said with an awkward bow and a smile.
"So, has the city lord already decided what to trade?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
He's been waiting for this.
Even those scattered orcs brought him an income of one or two million energy stones.
With the City Lord's Mansion of Ten Thousand Beasts City taking action, he won't be disappointed.
Who knows, we might be able to generate at least another transaction volume for an eighth-tier pet.
"Yes."
Hou Ji nodded and said seriously, "The City of Ten Thousand Beasts is lacking too much. After discussing it, the three city lords and the higher-ups believe that the first thing to solve is the food problem, that is, vegetables and plants. I wonder if you, the city lord of Dragon City... can sell us how much?"
The clothes, fabrics, porcelain, and all sorts of other things in Dragon City were very attractive to the beastmen.
However, in this wasteland, the first priority is to solve the problem of food.
Major powers like Yan City and Black Soil City, while also lacking vegetables, can still occasionally get some.
But the City of Beasts is really in dire need of them!
Their usual diet consists only of ferocious beast meat, which is nutritionally unbalanced and puts too much strain on their bodies.
"How many energy stones do you have? This city lord can sell them to you for that many." Hearing Hou Ji's words, Xiao Yu was not too surprised. He shrugged and said indifferently.
"Really? Thank you so much!" Hou Ji was overjoyed. After discussing it with Zhu Gang and the others, he said, "My Beast City can probably come up with ten million energy stones to buy plants and vegetables. I wonder what kind of things we can buy?"
"Ten million? Let's plan this out carefully. Let's go check out the plantation first." Upon learning that Hou Ji and the others had decided to buy ten million worth of vegetable seedlings, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately led the group to the plantation.
"Is this the plantation? It's magnificent!" Hou Ji exclaimed as he stood in the endless cornfield.
"Yes! If only Beast City had these vegetables!" Pig Gang and Gou Dao and the others were also very envious.
Previously, they had only caught a glimpse of it from a distance.
Now that I'm here, I can once again feel the immense financial strength of Longcheng.
Every single seedling of corn, tomato, or other vegetables grown here is extremely rare outside.
But in Longcheng, there are tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of them.
After all, during the previous trade fair, Longcheng had already brought tens of thousands of seedlings of corn, tomatoes, and cabbage.
Over time, it has expanded several times over again.
If it weren't for the fact that the newly acquired salt mine occupied too much land in Longcheng, there would be even more vegetables.
