Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

"""

Everything before them exceeded the imaginations of Hilton and the Black Lion Commerce!

According to their understanding,

weren't those Chosen Lords currently leading hard lives?

What was going on with this Lord Cao Xing?

Why did he not only not appear to be in any difficulty, but also seem to be thriving?

Even the aura around them had grown stronger compared to before!

Hilton had a lot of questions he wanted to ask.

But he knew all these matters were Cao Xing's secrets and would not be easily disclosed to them.

Cao Xing chuckled lightly, "Come now, Lord Hilton, let's discuss this in the tavern."

"And bring your guards along; they must be tired."

Hilton seemed to just come to his senses and slowly said, "All right... yes..."

Then, several dozen people entered the tavern.

At that moment, the bartender Rach stood properly at the bar.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, he respectfully said, "Lord, you have arrived."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Bring two barrels of refined rum for these Char Clan warriors, and prepare two glasses of rose red wine for us."

Rach replied promptly, "Yes, respected Lord!"

After speaking, he quickly went to the wine room at the back of the tavern to fetch the [Refined Rum].

He then served everyone in the tavern a wooden tankard.

"Splash..."

Clear liquor was poured into the cups.

Instantly, a rich aroma of alcohol filled the entire tavern at once.

The Char Clan was a militarized race that received strict military training from a young age.

Naturally, they also loved to drink.

The enticing aroma of the rum was nearly irresistible.

A chorus of swallowing sounds filled the tavern.

Cao Xing laughed, "Everyone, drink to your heart's content, there's plenty of alcohol today."

Upon hearing this, the Char warriors looked towards Hilton.

Hilton nodded.

Then, they all exclaimed excitedly, "Wonderful! Thank you, mighty Lord Cao Xing."

The Char warriors downed their rum in one gulp.

Hilton also praised Cao Xing's [Rose Red Wine] to no end.

After the drinking was done, it was time to discuss serious matters.

Hilton directly cut to the chase, "Lord Cao Xing, to be honest with you,"

"the reason for visiting your territory this time, besides wanting to stay for a night and rest,"

"is because we also wish to purchase a batch of food from you for the journey ahead."

"Of course, the price is negotiable."

"If your territory's food reserves are not abundant, you can lend us some."

"As long as it's enough for us to reach the next supply point, I will surely repay you double at that time."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, chuckling lightly, "No problem, Lord Hilton, you may stay in my territory tonight; after all, I have a number of vacant houses."

Hearing Cao Xing agree, Hilton and all the Char warriors on the scene showed happy smiles.

Hilton tentatively asked, "About the grain..."

Cao Xing waved his hand, "No problem, it's just some grain."

"And I happen to have some things I'd like to trade with you too."

Hilton also smiled.

At this moment, Cao Xing directly said, "Lord Hilton, I will give you 1,000 kilograms of wheat, plus 200 kilograms of wind-dried cured meat, how about that?"

Hearing these numbers, Hilton was surprised.

He initially thought that if Cao Xing could provide several hundred kilograms of grain, it would already be a lot.

Yet now, there were a thousand kilograms, plus two hundred kilograms of wind-dried cured meat!

And it seemed, this was not all his territory had in reserve.

He certainly stored more food!

Hilton gave the man before him a deep look.

He had a clearer impression of the strength of his territory once again.

However, considering the current scale of the territory, Hilton felt relieved.

Hilton's plump face broke into a smile, then he laughed, "Lord Cao Xing, you are truly a generous Lord."

"So much food is enough to support us through the whole Gale Snow Plain journey."

"Of course, we won't take your things for free; shall I give you 50,000 Crowns for this batch of food?"

Cao Xing pondered briefly and then nodded.

After all, regular wheat is priced at around 10 Crowns per kilogram, and wind-dried cured meat, though more expensive, is only a few dozen Crowns per kilogram.

Hilton's offer was indeed very generous.

For a businessman who only sees profit, this was a loss-making deal.

Of course, the main reason he was willing to offer this price was because of the strength of Cao Xing's territory.

Seeing Cao Xing agree, Hilton smiled even more broadly, and his eyes almost turned into slits.

"In that case, let's trade now, Lord Cao Xing."

Cao Xing shook his head, "Lord Hilton, there's no rush, let me take a look at your goods first."

Hearing this, Hilton realized he had been a bit hasty.

He quickly said, "Of course, Lord Cao Xing."

After finishing speaking, once the warriors were full and had had their fill.

They left the tavern and went to the dozen or so wagons outside.

"Lord Cao Xing, feel free to inspect them; I have brought quite a few new items this time."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

At this moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Black Lion Commerce: Hilton, reveals his merchandise list to you. Do you accept?]
