Chapter 144 Ice-type Pets!
The city lord also promised that once the sixth-tier enhancement potion is successfully prepared, the first batch will be given to Tie Nan.
Of course... a Tier 6 enhancement potion is worth at least 100,000 merit points.
Xiao Yu will only deduct 1 merit points from him according to this benefit.
The rest still needs to be purchased with money...
However... Sakurako felt that this was already a great deal!
"Hmm, take me to see the newly planted mulberry trees and bamboo..." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Yes! Lord City Lord! This way please!" Sakura nodded quickly and led the way.
A moment later, the two arrived at a more secluded part of the planting area.
"Although mulberry trees grow slowly, the bamboo grows incredibly fast!" Xiao Yu surveyed the grove, nodding in satisfaction.
Two days ago, he planted a bunch of mulberry seeds, which sprouted into more than a dozen mulberry trees.
A bunch of bamboo plants were also catalyzed together.
But now, two days later, the dozen or so mulberry trees are all less than two meters tall.
The dozen or so bamboo stalks have already grown to over ten meters tall.
"After two more catalytic treatments from the luminescent field... we can start mass-producing paper, and then we can begin literacy education!" Xiao Yu calculated in his mind. The main reason for developing the paper industry was that the future development of Dragon City required more capable people, so literacy education had to be implemented first!
Only when the overall strength of Longcheng improves can his strength improve as well!
"Take me to the warehouse next."
According to Chu Ling Shuang's estimate, it will take about three or four days to arrive at the trade conference venue.
So... Xiao Yu needs to check first how much stock is in the warehouse, and whether it's enough?
If that's not enough... he'll have to catalyze the vegetables again.
"Lord City Lord, this way please!"
Led by Yingzi, Xiao Yu walked into the depths of the dark cellar.
This is a specially designed, dry, and enclosed space for storing food.
At the entrance to the cellar, Sakura found a leather notebook used for recording things. After flipping through it, she reported to Xiao Yu:
"According to Sister Xiaoyu's statistics, after multiple catalytic reactions by the luminous tree, the corn inventory has exceeded 31,000 heads! Tomatoes 109,000, cabbage... and more than 150,000 ceramic jars! Iron pots, iron knives, iron armor, etc... It is estimated that the total output will increase by 30% to 40% upon arrival at the trade fair!"
"Is that all? It's worth at least tens of millions!"
Upon hearing Yingzi's report, Xiao Yu was immediately excited.
The value of just these ordinary goods from Longcheng exceeds ten million!
If we also add some higher-quality eggs, such as those from Tricolor chickens...
Or perhaps it was the divine weapons and armor he personally crafted...
He's sure to make a fortune at this trade fair!
"These goods need to be replenished. They're all fresh and can't be kept for too long, especially the cabbage... If the cabbage hasn't sold after seven days, we'll make it into pickles," Xiao Yu thought for a moment and then reminded him.
Corn and tomatoes can be stored in an airtight container for a few more days.
But cabbage is different; it will definitely wilt after seven days.
However... Xiao Yu will have Xiao Yu take these vegetables that have been stored for a long time and sell them to the residents at a low price, at 1-3% of the original price, depending on their freshness.
This approach not only helps to mitigate losses in time but also gives all residents the opportunity to enjoy these delicious foods.
“But pickling vegetables requires a lot of salt…” Yingzi said with a conflicted expression after hearing Xiao Yu’s words.
“Salt is indeed a problem... I’ll figure something out.” Xiao Yu rubbed his temples.
The storage of salt and vegetables are both major issues.
The salt that pangolins can find underground is barely enough to sustain the basic expenses of Dragon City.
This ensures that everyone can replenish a small amount of salt without developing any health problems.
However... it's obviously impractical to use a lot of salt to pickle vegetables.
"I hope I can buy a lot of salt at the trade fair," Xiao Yu thought to himself.
This is why all factions participate in the trade fair.
Dragon City has many good things, but it lacks even more, such as salt...
"Also, there's the issue of food storage... It would be great if we could tame an ice-type pet."
After returning to the city lord's mansion, Xiao Yu went into the forging room.
Last night's battle against the beast tide yielded a large amount of ferocious beast materials for Dragon City.
There are over a hundred fourth- and fifth-tier ferocious beasts alone!
The hides, scales, and armor of these ferocious beasts are all high-quality materials, enough to forge 3rd or 4th tier quasi-divine weapons.
Moreover... there are also the hides and scales of several sixth- or seventh-tier ferocious beasts, which are top-tier materials.
"I'll give the fourth and fifth-tier materials to Chu Ling Shuang and the others for forging. As for these high-tier ferocious beast materials... I'll forge them myself." Xiao Yu made his decision after a moment's thought.
According to Chu Ling Shuang, the price of a divine weapon forged by a master is 30 to 50 energy stones.
In the past, weapons and armor forged by master craftsmen would be snapped up at every trade fair.
Therefore, Xiao Yu plans to forge a batch of divine weapons to sell at the trade fair.
Of course... the divine weapon he used to sell for energy stones could only be armor!
With so many sixth-tier ferocious beast materials, he can forge at least a dozen suits of armor!
These divine weapons and armor alone could earn several million energy stones!
"Lord of the City!" Just as Xiao Yu was about to begin forging, an anxious voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, three figures rushed in.
The three were none other than Six Joys, June Seven Kills, and three beast-eared girls.
"Xiao Yu, we have urgent business to attend to and need to leave Dragon City!" the wolf girl said urgently.
"Yes! Our companions are in danger, the situation is urgent!" The rabbit-eared girl also looked anxious.
"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry..." The catwoman's eyes were filled with worry, and she seemed somewhat at a loss.
"What happened?" Xiao Yu looked at the three beast-eared girls and asked in confusion.
"This is what happened..."
The three beast-eared girls exchanged glances, which explained everything.
During this time, in order to find their companions, the three women would go hunting with Chenlong and the others every day, and also search for their companions' whereabouts.
Just now, the three women found the signal left by their companion again.
The text states that they have been tricked and have been ambushed by the Black Earth City.
Two of their companions were captured by Black Soil City, and the rest of the group decided to go and rescue them.
"How do they plan to rescue people?" Xiao Yu asked, frowning.
“Wu Wei’er’s abilities are the most unique among us…” Catwoman thought for a moment and then said.
Before the catwoman could finish speaking, a fierce glint flashed in the wolf woman's eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "The person who captured them is the second leader of Black Earth City. He had been relentlessly pursuing us before and even killed one of our companions. This time, he captured another of our companions. I will absolutely not let him go!"
Previously, they definitely couldn't beat each other.
But now... the three of them are no longer the same as before, and perhaps they have a chance to take revenge!
Even if we can't get revenge, we must at least save our comrades!
