There are a total of eighteen militiamen here, including an elite-level militia captain.
Cao Xing glanced at them and saw that these were first-level creatures and posed no threat to him.
At this moment, one of the militia captains looked at Assam and asked: “This knight… sir…”
“What did you come to Hog Village to do?”
He mistakenly thought that Assam, who was riding a frost wolf, was the leader of the team.
And Assam waved his hand and said: “Please talk to my lord.”
After hearing this, the group of militiamen all turned their attention to the two people sitting on the back of the crawler robot.
They were instantly attracted by Liu Muxue’s beauty and exclaimed: “What a beautiful lady… Is this a noble from the Ice Crystal Kingdom?”
Then, the group of militiamen looked at Cao Xing next to them and asked tentatively: “This, this, this… Lord, do you have any business coming to our Hog Village?”
Cao Xing replied: “Nothing, I was just passing by your village to see if I could purchase some supplies or do some business.”
Hearing this, the militiamen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Among them, the militia captain who was about thirty years old stood up.
“My Lord, our Hog Village welcomes wanderers and traders from all over the world.”
“But… your mounts and these mechanical creatures, I’m afraid they can’t enter the village… they will scare the villagers…”
As if afraid that Cao Xing would be angry, the militia captain said quickly: “But don’t worry, sir, we will arrange your mounts in a shed outside the village to prevent them from being attacked by wind and snow.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded.
“Okay, these are my friends, and they are very obedient.”
The militia captain breathed a sigh of relief, and then led Cao Xing and others to a nearby shed.
Although it is only a temporary shelter, it is still clean.
Cao Xing nodded and said: “Muxue, Assam, Sarah, follow me into the village.”
“Andrew, Rhaenys, take care of our partners.”
Since he was just going to the village to buy some supplies, he didn’t need to bring too many people.
And with the third-level leader Sarah here, even if there is any danger, it can be easily solved.
Rhaenys and Andrew bowed respectfully, “I obey your orders, Lord.”
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing saw the tree spirit tribe in the corner and said, “Juliet, please come with us.”
Juliette looked confused, but she still subconsciously jumped off the bucket of the excavator and walked to Cao Xing.
Then, a group of five people left the shack and walked towards the village.
But as soon as Sarah came out, she went into hiding. This was her habit and she never exposed herself to the public eye.
Cao Xing didn’t care either.
Soon, they entered the village.
[You have entered the neutral area: Hog Village]
There are many houses in this village, and every household has a burning stove.
On the street, there are many vendors pushing trucks, pulling some vegetables, wood, coal and other fuels to sell along the street.
Seeing Assam in knight armor and Juliette with pale skin, the villagers looked with a hint of fear and curiosity.
Cao Xing didn’t pay attention, but looked at the buildings on both sides of the street.
[Blacksmith Shop Level 2], [Sewing Shop Level 2], [Ore Processing Factory Level 3].
In these stores, they sell some whiteboard equipment and simple warm clothing.
However, it is indeed difficult for such villages and towns to produce some skilled blacksmiths or sewing masters.
Cao Xing had no intention of going in. His purpose was to buy a batch of food, and then see if he could buy some cows or sheep and raise them himself.
At this time, Liu Muxue tugged on Cao Xing’s sleeve and pointed to a corner of a certain house.
Following the direction Liu Muxue pointed, Cao Xing saw a thin young man wearing a cotton hat, looking at them with a scrutinizing gaze.
Cao Xing took a look at his attributes.
[Hog Village Villager: Danny lv2]
After thinking for a moment, he took out a coin from his backpack and tossed it in the air.
This young man named Danny seemed to understand something and walked over nervously.
“Sir…my lord…may I ask how I can help you?”
Cao Xing asked: “I want to buy a batch of food and need you to lead us.”
After hearing this, villager Danny’s childish face flashed with a hint of adult shrewdness.
These days, those who can afford food are the rich.
Villager Danny hurriedly said: “Sir, you can go to the grain store to buy food. I know the proprietress of the grain store. If the transaction quantity is relatively large, you can get some discounts…”
Cao Xing was delighted, this young man was quite capable, he could even hook up with the proprietress of a grain store.
When he was happy, he threw ten crowns over.
Villager Danny happily took it and kept thanking him.
Cao Xing asked again at this time: “How long can you use a crown like this?”
Because he didn’t know the prices of goods in this world yet, so as not to be sold out for buying food later, Cao Xing had to ask in advance.
After villager Danny took the money, he happily replied: “Sir, one crown can buy a piece of black bread in our village, and white bread costs three crowns.”
Seemingly knowing what Cao Xing meant, Danny continued: “Sir, follow the price of food in our village.”
“For example, the unpeeled wheat costs 10 crowns per catty, the peeled wheat costs 15 crowns, and the wheat ground into flour costs 30 crowns per pound…”
After Danny finished speaking, Cao Xing nodded.
From this point of view, the purchasing power of coins in this world is still quite high.
Before Cao Xing went out, he had 35,000 crowns in his hand. On the way, he met an unlucky chamber of commerce and picked up more than 40,000 crowns.
In total, it’s more than 80,000 kronor.
This is a huge amount of money and should be able to buy a lot of food.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt confident.
At this time, villager Danny added: “Sir, the price of these grains is quite affordable, but if you want to have fun, the consumption may be a bit high.”
“A drink at the Zhuolan Tavern starts at 30 crowns, and the most beautiful and slutty girl there even charges 400 crowns for a night!”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Cao Xing’s mouth twitched.
Damn it, this little guy is young and knows quite a lot.
Juliette and Liu Muxue next to them both blushed and turned their heads away, embarrassed to listen any more.
“Stop talking nonsense and take us to the grain store.” Cao Xing said speechlessly.
“Okay, my lord.”
Villager Danny led Cao Xing and the four of them forward.
Along the way, I also saw various vendors shouting.
“A small detection robot from the Cold Iron Kingdom. It can lead you to find various precious metals. It is a must-have for gold diggers. It only costs 1,800 crowns.”
“The Frost Heart Lotus produced in the Borellis Mountains has the effect of improving eyesight and calming the mind. It sells for 3,000 crowns.”
“A group of snow wolves appeared near Luoxue Lake. We are now recruiting 5 strong men above the first level to drive away the snow wolves. Each person will be given 400 crowns as a reward.”
“Baron Sirdan will start a knight trial in the near future. Warriors who have reached level one or above can sign up and participate in the trial.”
“The Hog Hunter Lodge purchases a large amount of magical creature furs and other materials at favorable prices.”
“Ruth’s Tavern needs a batch of materials…”
Amid shouting all the way, Cao Xing and others arrived at the grain store in Hoge Village.
Pushing open the door, there was a sudden warmth inside.
There were stoves burning on both sides of the hut, and the fire was roaring and crackling.
Checked the temperature.
It’s not a negative number anymore. It’s really warm inside the grain store.
At this moment, a woman who looked to be about forty years old, with a curvy front and back, exuding a mature charm, lay lazily in front of the counter.
Seeing Cao Xing and others coming in, this mature woman’s eyes suddenly lit up.
As a businessman for many years, she knew that this was a big deal as soon as she saw the attire and outstanding temperament of Cao Xing and others.
“Hey, adults, are you here to buy food?”
“Yes.” Cao Xing said directly.
The proprietress of the grain store noticed Danny next to her and knew that they had learned about the price, so she asked: “Sir, how many kilograms of grain do you need to buy? Should it be peeled or not?”
“Little Danny should have told you that if you buy more than three hundred kilograms of grain, our grain store can give you a 10% discount~”
Cao Xing thought to himself that the 10% discount was not bad.
If he buys in large quantities, he can save a lot of money.
So, Cao Xing asked: “Besides wheat, do you have other grains here, such as rice?”
As an Oriental, Cao Xing is still more accustomed to eating rice.
After hearing this, the proprietress of the grain store looked at Cao Xing with her narrow red phoenix eyes and said with a chuckle: “Of course I have it, but the rice reserves are not much. I can give it to you at the price of 10 kronor per catty.”
Cao Xing nodded, already having a decision in his mind, he said directly: “I want 1,000 kilograms of peeled wheat, 500 kilograms of rice, and 300 kilograms of flour.”
As Cao Xing reported the numbers one by one, the joy in the eyes of the proprietress of the grain store became even stronger, and even her breathing became quickened.
She almost forgot how long it had been since she had done such a big business! The landlady asked tentatively: “Sir, are you sure you really want so much food?”
“Yes.”
After receiving Cao Xing’s personal confirmation, the proprietress’ breath suddenly became stagnant.
She looked at Cao Xing with strong affection.
Then, the landlady chuckled and said: “Dear guests, let me introduce you again. My name is Elena Green. Thank you very much for taking care of my business.”
After Elena Green finished speaking, she bent down slightly and bowed to Cao Xing, revealing the white patches on her chest and a very full ravine.
Cao Xing didn’t have any idea, he just nodded lightly.
Danny, the villager on the side, swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
Elena straightened up again, and then said seriously: “According to the food you need, a total of 35,000 kroner is needed.”
“I’ll give you another discount, a 15% discount, and then erase the fraction, which is 29,000 kronor.”
After saying that, she looked at Cao Xing with gentle eyes, “Sir, are you satisfied?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Okay, but I don’t have a carriage to load the goods or a horse to pull the goods. You can sell me one by the way.”
Hearing this, Elena chuckled, “No problem, how about I charge you 30,000 crowns?”
“make a deal.”
Cao Xing agreed readily, and then took out a lot of coins, totaling 30,000 crowns, and handed them to Elena.
Seeing so many crowns, Elena’s eyes became even more charming.
Danny, the villager next to him, almost stared out of his eyes!
This was the first time in his life that he had seen so much money.
Elena chuckled again and said: “Well, guests, wait a moment, and I will arrange for people to load the car for you.”
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go to the village and come back later to pick up the food.”
“Okay~ Sir, please rest assured that I will never leave you short of anything. I promise you…”
Elena patted her plump breasts.
Cao Xing nodded.
Then he took villager Danny, Assam and others out of the grain store.
He was not worried that Elena would hack his money.
He has roughly figured out the defense strength of [Hog Village].
With the power he now possesses, he is enough to bulldoze this village directly.
In this kind of world, force is everything.
“Axing, are we going to buy cows now?” Liu Muxue asked softly.
Cao Xing nodded, “Yes.”
He just spent 30,000 yuan to buy grain, and Cao Xing still had about 50,000 kroner in hand, which should be able to buy a lot of yaks and sheep.
So, Cao Xing asked: “Danny, if I want to buy cattle and sheep in your Hoge Village, what should I do or what procedures are required?”
Cattle and sheep like this are the assets of a village. If outsiders like them want to purchase them, they may need to go through some troublesome procedures.
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he took out ten more crowns from his backpack and handed them to Danny.
When Danny saw another 10 crowns, he immediately took it with a smile.
“Sir, there are no procedures required to purchase cattle and sheep. You only need to find the farmers, negotiate the price with them, and then ask the village chief for approval.”
“I know several farmers, Jeffrey, Mel, and Harden. They all raise a large number of yaks, mountain sheep, and bighorn dairy cows…”
“If you need it, my lord, I can take you there.”
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Take us over and have a look.”
“Okay!”
This Danny seemed more enthusiastic.
From the moment he came into contact with Cao Xing, he has earned 20 crowns, which is almost the income of these ordinary villagers in a week! Under the leadership of villager Danny, Cao Xing and his party soon arrived at a three-story building that was more luxurious than other houses.
Boom, boom, boom! Danny knocked on the door.
After a while, a voice came from inside, “Who is it?”
“Mr. Jeffrey, I’m Danny. There are some adults from outside who want to buy a group of yaks and sheep from you.”
There was silence for a moment.
Then the door opened, and a bearded middle-aged man wearing loose clothes and no belt walked out.
Looking behind him, a woman in her early thirties with a tall nose was huddled behind the door of the room with her head stuck out, looking at Cao Xing and others curiously.
The bearded middle-aged man’s eyes were also filled with impatience.
The corners of Cao Xing’s mouth twitched. They seemed to have arrived at the wrong time? “You guys want to buy cattle and sheep?” the bearded middle-aged man said impatiently.
Cao Xing nodded, “Yes.”
However, the bearded middle-aged man directly waved his hand and said: “Sorry, we are not doing business today.”
This guy just waved his hand to drive people away, as if he was eager to go back and continue fighting.
At this moment, his eyes noticed Liu Muxue and Juliette next to him.
Their stunning looks and tall figures immediately attracted the attention of the bearded middle-aged man.
He looked at Liu Muxue and Juliette wantonly with an aggressive gaze.
The two girls looked obviously a little uncomfortable when he looked at them.
At this time, Cao Xing took the hands of Liu Muxue and Juliette and pulled them behind him.
Liu Muxue was okay, Juliette seemed to be holding hands with a strange man for the first time, and she lowered her head shyly.
Cao Xing said with a smile on his lips: “I advise you not to look around, otherwise you may suffer a lot.”
There was a slight hint of threat in his tone.
The bearded man became angry instantly, “What did you say?”
