NOVEL WEB Chapter 40 What snacks?
There is no urban management in this world, so these people set up stalls without anyone to take care of them.
The person just now looked strange, but Ling Tian didn't want to talk to him, mainly because he smelled too bad and everyone around him stayed away.
Most of the things sold by these stalls are quite miscellaneous, such as fruits and vegetables, monster materials, elixirs, etc. There are also some things that even Ling Tian doesn't recognize.
And what they say is getting more and more outrageous.
"A pet egg picked up in the mountains! It was identified as an ancient ferocious beast!"
"A once-in-a-century aphrodisiac fruit! If a man eats it, a woman can't stand it. If a woman eats it, a man can't stand it. Both men and women can't stand it if they eat the bed board!"
"Special beast control method! It can increase the chance of contract!"
Ling Tian only listened to these things. He had an identification system, and the mysterious aphrodisiac fruit was just an ordinary wild fruit with no special functions at all.
Many people gathered around the stall in front, and Ling Tian walked up curiously.
"The newly prepared rat poison can kill first-level rats. With this trap, the effect is remarkable. Live demonstration!"
Ling Tian looked over curiously and found that this man was holding several mice in a cage and showing them the packet of medicine in his hand.
The rats in this world are even more difficult to deal with. Although people have help from the beasts, the number of beasts guarding the rice fields and warehouses is far less than the number of rats.
The Ling family was actually suffering from rats, so they stopped to see how effective this rat poison was.
[Name]: rat poison
[Quality]: ordinary low quality
[Introduction]: A mixture of multiple poisons, with rat attractants added, has a good effect in attracting rats. Rats will have a very strong sense of thirst after taking it.
Looking at the reviews of this system, it seems pretty good.
The man put the rat poison into a large cage. Below the large cage was a large transparent jar, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, half filled with water.
A mouse crawled over, sniffed the rat poison, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed it.
After a while, it started frantically looking for water and jumped directly into the jar.
The mouse struggled desperately in the water, and soon attracted the attention of other mice.
"Be careful! This is a trap!"
"What snack? Let me try it. Is it these powders?"
Ling Tian, who turned on the voice function, was confused. Is the conversation between mice so magical?
In other words, this is a conversation between them! Where is the voice function?
Ling Tian thought for a while and suddenly realized that the rat in the water must have been affected by poison. What he thought in his mind was to be careful, but what he expressed was not like that.
This is different from human language, and there will be no such order reversal.
After a while, all the mice entered the water, and the people around them began to discuss heatedly:
"Is this medicine so powerful? Those rats are not his beasts, are they?"
"How could someone have so many beasts?"
"It just so happens that something happened during the hunting this year, so we have to protect the food. I must buy this rat poison!"
The businessman looked around with some pride and said, "Rat poison only costs one or two silver! It can kill hundreds of rats in ten days!"
Contrary to what he imagined, those people instantly became quiet and turned around to leave.
"For one tael of silver, I can buy more than a dozen wild cats. These mice are not necessarily first-class. They are too expensive."
"This is only ten days' worth."
"Who knows if it will poison your own beast? It's too dangerous."
The number of people around was decreasing one by one, and the boss was a little worried: "There are more and more bandits, and we have to pay attention to them. If you poison a first-level demon rat for one tael of silver and get the crystal core, wouldn't you make a lot of money!"
It's just that those people didn't listen and left on their own. Most of them came to the market to pick up leaks. The effect of this thing is good, but the price is too expensive. You can't make much money by reselling it.
After the crowd had reduced a lot, Ling Tian walked forward and said, "Boss, you've seen it too. Your stuff is really too expensive. Why don't you give me a price? If it's done, I'll buy ten packs and go." The cost of this thing is not that much, and you must have spent a lot of money researching it. Selling a few won’t be able to make up for your own losses.”
The boss was a little discouraged. He had brought out his newly developed rat poison with confidence, thinking that he could make a lot of money, make his name famous, and slowly become the richest businessman here... ..
However, although he considered the market needs, he did not consider the consumption power of these people.
Moreover, even if his rat poison becomes popular, there is no way to save his prescription.
It's like a widow sleeping - there's no one up there, there's no background, something will happen sooner or later.
"You said." In the end, he compromised. This rat poison was the final product that he had improved countless times. Now he even mortgaged his own residence.
"One tael of silver, ten bags." Ling Tian first quoted an extremely low price to facilitate counter-offering.
"Impossible! One tael of silver is not even enough to cover the cost!" The boss shook his head repeatedly and said anxiously.
Ling Tian thought for a moment, and since he said so, the cost would be more than one hundred cents.
If it can poison a first-level monster, it is indeed very profitable, but it is a bit wasteful to use it on ordinary rats.
A hundred rats are not worth a hundred pence.
Ling Tian took out his black glasses and smiled at the boss: "Well, how many packets of rat poison do you have here? Tell me?"
"Ah... about thirty packets..." The boss was stunned when he saw Ling Tian suddenly put on a strange thing.
"Thirty packets... I'll buy them all, original price."
After that, Ling Tian approached the boss and whispered: "But you have to go with me to experiment and see if this thing can really poison a first-level monster."
The boss was very surprised when he heard what Ling Tian said, and patted his chest repeatedly and said: "Of course no problem!"
The more he looked at Ling Tian, the more he liked him. Although this man didn't look good, he looked like a different person after wearing this black thing, which made him feel very reliable.
Ling Tian smiled. This man was also a talent. In fact, he didn't know much about the killing plan of rats, so he could recruit him.
Although the cost of this medicine is a bit high, we can still let this person research the medicine to kill ordinary rats. This will be much simpler. When the ordinary rats are almost dead, this ordinary rat poison will work.
At that time, most of the remaining rats have cultivation. The cost of 100 copper coins can be exchanged for a first-level demon core worth about 50 taels of silver. It is a sure profit.
The more Ling Tian thought about it, the more satisfied he was. This businessman looked so thin and weak, and he might not even have cultivation. Since he could research low-level ordinary medicine.
Just sell him to the Ling family.
