Chapter 376: Initial results
Oldman Small Town met initial success after forming. After the four tribes joined the alliances, the middle sized influences kept coming in. Oldman Small Town took out 30% of the shares for the other powers, the dwarves owned 19% and Chu Tian owned 51%, so he still had absolute control over the small town.
Miracle Commerce began building a hotel and theater in the small town. Once they opened the hotel, they were prepared to change this small town in the forest into a modern city, enriching the people’s lives. Oldman Small Town’s spirit increased every day and if they kept developing at this speed, they would become the hottest and strongest influence on the edge of the forest soon.
But Chu Tian was also preparing for a rainy day.
The livelier the small town became, it would be a matter of time before the attentions of the large characters in the forest was attracted. With Miracle Commerce’s current strength, they could work in the area in these small areas. If they were to fight in higher rank battles, it was perhaps still too early.
Miracle Commerce had the Southern Summer Country’s support, but the Southern Summer Country was just a small kingdom and it was very far away, so they could not send support even if they wanted to. So when faced with the true colossuses of the forest, they could only quickly grow themselves. They had to grow quickly before they came or they needed to gather more allies, forming an alliance with enough strength to keep them safe.
“Chu Tian! Chu Tian!” Chu Tian heard Meng Yingying shouting for him. Before he could even turn around, the girl charged into Chu Tian’s room like the wind and excitedly shouted, “There’s some large good news!”
Chu Tian looked at her with a strange gaze, “What large good news?”
“The dwarves said that several decades again, they found a large crystal mine in the forest that is around four hundred miles from here. Big sister Nangong went to confirm it with the dwarves and even took a few pictures. Come and take a look!”
Chu Tian’s expression slightly changed because he could see from the pictures in Meng Yingying’s hands that this was indeed crystal ore and there was crystal oil flowing inside. It was actually silver crude oil which was completely different from the white crude oil in South Sky City.
The grade of energy in crystal oil would affect its colour. The low grade was white crystal oil, the middle grade was silver crystal oil, and high grade was golden crystal oil. In other words, the crystal mine the dwarves discovered several decades ago was actually a silver crude oil mine, which did not have a normal value.
The energy density in silver crude oil was twenty times that of the white crude oil.
If this silver crude oil could be turned into Source Energy Batteries, it would be enough to activate third level and up source energy arrays. That way, they could make even higher level technology, especially high consumption items like large scale Space Warehouses. If they used it to make Source Energy Weapons, it was not something the white oil weapons could compare to.
“Good!” Chu Tian nodded with satisfaction, “Find people to clearly investigate this area. I want to know the nearby powers and the scale of the crystal mine!”
Silver crystal oil would be considered too early for the current Miracle Commerce, but they would have to use it eventually, so it was fine to prepare it early. The Forest of Chaos’ environment couldn’t compare to the Southern Summer Country, there were rich resources everywhere, but it was not easy to open them. The locals were very sensitive and would react if there were any slight movements at all.
Not to mention the fact that crystal oil was a very dangerous product. If someone were to destroy it, it would be a huge loss!
“Big sister Nangong personally went to investigate, so you can be assured.” Meng Yingying said this and then suddenly added, “I talked to elder sister earlier and the resources Miracle Commerce has purchased here and transported back have exploded the warehouses! There are over four hundred level two Sacred Herbs, with over three hundred low grade Sacred Herbs, sixty middle grade Sacred Herbs, twenty high grade Sacred Herbs, and five top grade Sacred Herbs! Five top grade Sacred Herbs!”
Each Sacred Herb in the Southern Summer Country was very expensive.
In the Forest of Chaos, normal herbs and Spiritual Herbs were everywhere, even Sacred Herbs were very common in demon beast nests, so they could be found with a bit of risk. If these herbs were placed in the Southern Summer Country or any other human country, it would be purchased for an incredibly high price and usually there wouldn’t even be any on the market. Miracle Commerce could purchase large amounts of these herbs in the Forest of Chaos for less than a tenth of that price.
Miracle Commerce doing business in the Forest of Chaos could be considered peerless. This was because Miracle Commerce doing business in the Forest of Chaos did not have to face transport fees, risk costs, labour costs, or time costs at all.
The complex terrain of the Forest of Chaos could not stop Miracle Commerce from transporting their products at all.
The demon beasts and locals in the Forest of Chaos could not threaten the safety of Miracle Commerce’s commodities at all.
The most important thing was efficiency. With the Space Warehouse in hand, there were no other companies that could compare to the efficiency of Miracle Commerce. The raw materials from the Forest of Chaos could be delivered to the Southern Summer Country and after they were turned into products, they were returned to the Forest of Chaos to be sold at a high price where they would then use the profits earned to buy more raw materials. With this cycle, while a normal company was running back and forth, Miracle Commerce had earned countless times their profit!
Chu Tian said to Yingying, “Did you bring the high grade and top grade Sacred Medicine?”
Meng Yingying nodded as she immediately took out a list of materials, “The purchased materials are all here.”
Chu Tian swept over the list. The high grade and top grade Sacred Medicine on this list were mainly for increasing cultivation, with a few useful for detoxing, healing, longevity, and other uses. This also meant that the pills refined from these Sacred Medicine could be used to easily increase a person’s cultivation.
The five top grade Sacred Herbs were especially valuable. If there was the proper refining technique, then if it was given to a person in the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer, they could break through their bottleneck and reach the True Spirit Realm.
With the resources they currently had, it was already enough to break through the Awakened Soul Realm. As for the other people, there was no need to be anxious. With the way the small town was currently developing, it would only take five-eight days!
“Tell the warehouse to keep those herbs behind, I will personally refine them.”
Chu Tian did not believe in the techniques of those old men.
Meng Yingying’s eyes went wide, “Keep them all?”
Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, “Nonsense, what are we running this company for? Isn’t it just to collect cultivation resources? Have everyone prepare themselves, we should increase our strength! Also, tell the young miss that the forest side is stable, so have her prepare things in the Southern Summer Country and immediately come here to help us! Without her by my side, my body has been hurting and I feel uncomfortable. These days without the young miss, each day passes like a year!”
“You don’t know how to pick your words, pei!”
Meng Yingying rolled her eyes at him.
But after not seeing her elder sister for so long, her heart was also filled with longing. Although they could talk through the communication device and see each other through the image transferring mirror, talking to each other tens of thousands of miles away was not as real as seeing each other face to face.
The Forest of Chaos had already been stabilized.
Elder sister should have prepared everything in the Southern Summer Country, so everyone should be able to come over now.
“Come, let’s take a look at the small town!”
Chu Tian stood up and grabbed Meng Yingying’s hand. Meng Yingying’s beautiful face slightly turned red, but she did not object as the two of them strolled through the small town’s market.
The small town was looking even more lively after developing.
Especially the mine’s upper level. This place was the largest space and it had been completely turned into a market where there were allied army soldiers patrolling. Several barbarians led ogres, orcs, and bear people past and with this kind of impressive lineup, no one dared to cause trouble in Oldman Small Town.
There were several goblins bargaining with rabbit people, hoping to buy the herbs from the rabbit people for a cheaper price. In the stall in front, there were two gnome merchants trying to sell some strange items to a few goblins. Not far away, there were some mouse people holding some ores, trying to find people to buy them.
Various languages and various races were intertwined in this small town.
The very weak raves had lived on the bottom level of the Forest of Chaos, but in Oldman Small Town now, they dared to openly do their business.
At that time, a young ogre walked past the two of them carrying a large basket.
Although it was an ogre youth, he was still much taller than Chu Tian and Meng Yingying. His arm was as thick as Chu Tian’s thigh.
The ogre picked up some specialties, some fruits and some demon beast cores. He said in broken human language, “Cheap…..Buy some…..”
Meng Yingying took out some low grade source stones to place in his hand and picked out a few things. This young ogre quickly expressed his gratitude. The young ogre ran over to Miracle Commerce’s hotel and bought a bunch of Miracle Commerce’s canned food.
The ogres did not have any resistance to the canned food at all.
The hotel in the Oldman Small Town had already been constructed.
But this hotel was different from the one in the cities. The Oldman Small Town hotel, although there were some spirit beasts, orcs, and dwarves that were regulars, the hotel did not rely on daily business to earn money. This hotel was just open to allow the various tribes to try their specialties.
The wine making and cooking techniques were lacking in the forest. Miracle Commerce used source energy arrays to ferment wine and to cook food. Therefore the Oldman Small Town’s hotel mainly dealt in trading wine and canned food.
After the dwarves tasted the wine made by Miracle Commerce, they immediately threw money at Miracle Commerce to buy five hundred barrels. After the various warriors tasted Miracle Commerce’s cooked food, the roared into the sky that they had lived these years in vain. Then they bought Miracle Commerce’s canned food in the hundreds of thousands.
Miracle Commerce opening their pill and talisman store in the small town was the same. Although on the surface it was a retail store, the real earnings came from the large orders they sent to each tribe.
No matter how much they wanted, there was a supply.
Miracle Commerce delivered the products like magic. This speed and this efficiency, it was like they had already prepared everything. But, how could the small mine tunnels have all these things stored? They had observed for many days, but they had never seen a caravan from Miracle Commerce.
Miracle Commerce seemed like it was shrouded in mystery that filled all the locals with awe. When Chu Tian saw the small town develop bit by bit in his desired direction, his heart was filled with happiness.
But at this time.
“This is bad!” Feng Caidie ran in front of Chu Tian in a panic, “There are suddenly many elves outside!”
Chu Tian was stunned, “Elves? Where did these elves come from?”
Feng Caidie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, “I don’t know where, but listening to their words, it seems like they’re looking for their princess. I’m afraid it’s……”
