After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 168 Expanding Business (1/2)

The orcs and elves decided to build an outpost in the north of the forest and join forces to resist the demon's attack.

Reiner and the others have nothing to do for the time being.

After a month of trial operation, Reiner found that it was feasible to buy demihuman slaves and use them to make money for himself.

He planned to take advantage of his free time to go to Melode to buy more subhuman slaves, and then arm them for his own use.

The story of the demi-human adventure team has spread throughout Cannon, and the number of commissioned missions has skyrocketed. Reiner plans to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and expand the company.

"How much money do we have now?" Reiner asked with his head down.

During this period, he did not carefully calculate the accounts and basically gave all the money to his wife to manage.

Junice and Aliana were squatting on the ground sorting stacks of currency according to their categories.

Nora scratched her head. She looked at the thick account book in her hand, seeming a little irritated.

Although she had memorized the multiplication table, she was still not very proficient in applying it and would often get stuck.

Peggy, who was able to use the formula flexibly, stood by anxiously, her mind occasionally muttering: (Oh, I really don't understand what's so difficult about this? Isn't it just that after deducting the losses during this period, there are still 643 Barnett gold coins left?)

It seems that accounting should be handed over to someone with a more flexible mind.

Reiner raised an eyebrow at Peggy: "Come on, you look like you want to say something."

Nora handed the account book to Peggy, who was standing beside her. She breathed a sigh of relief, but soon a strong sense of frustration surged into her heart.

Peggy glanced at it and answered with certainty, "Currently it's 643 gold coins. Excluding travel expenses, if calculated according to the exchange rate of the Kingdom of Diast, it would be about 1,607 gold coins.

Excluding travel expenses, if we purchase and equip slaves according to the previous sales method, we can probably buy about ten slaves."

Seeing Peggy so confident and smart, Nora was a little shocked.

She drooped her cat ears and whispered to Reiner, "I'm sorry, Master. I'm stupid too."

Reiner rubbed her ears and said softly, "You're already quite good. Every profession has its specialties. Although you're not very good at settling accounts, you're good at fighting, right?"

He kissed Nora, then held her in his arms and thought.

"We don't need to buy so many weapons and equipment this time. Our ways of making money don't have to be limited to being adventurers. Farming and mining are also possible. Fiona has given us certain mining rights to the abandoned gold mine controlled by the Rock Clan.

Two months have passed since the discovery, and they still haven't fully explored the reserves in the abandoned gold mine. But last time I was bored, I went inside to take a look and found quite a bit of silver and copper ore. Although silver ore isn't as valuable as gold, it's still quite valuable."

Peggy nodded and started writing in the account book with a quill.

Junice slowly stood up and walked to Reiner's side, gently elbowing Reiner: "Don't go to Melod to buy demi-human slaves, I have a better suggestion.

Let’s go to my hometown to buy it. The Kingdom of Rossno is located in the south of the continent, which is the homeland of the demi-humans.

Even in a small border city, the slave market is more than ten times larger than that of Merode. The demihumans there are not only strong and powerful, but also cheap.

The exchange rate between Barnet and Roseno is about 1:1.5.”
