I Raise Beastmen in a Wasteland World

The world is a wasteland (a rebuilt world after an apocalyptic event caused by insurmountable forces like machinery, plague, and disaster). Many settings are original, with the background world bei...

Chapter 18 Businesses can even inflate their own prices!

The lord's territory will soon be filled by these people—no, these people will bring the slaves of these fortunate ones to the lord.

On the other side, on the outskirts of the City of Mist.

The City of Mist has an entrance; there is usually a huge City of Mist located next to a city in all its territories.

The City of Mist was once a human city, but after being forced to abandon it, the remaining humans built a new city next to it, encouraging everyone to enter the City of Mist and reclaim what once belonged to humanity!

Arjun and A-Jing wore large hats that covered their entire faces, leaving only their eyes visible.

When the wind blows in the Misty City, they also wear goggles.

Arjun grabbed her brother and flew all the way to the outside of the Misty City.

Every morning at six o'clock, when the sun rises, the yellow sand will slowly open a gap, and the sand will merge into it. Every evening when the sun sets, another gap will open. As long as you enter and exit at the right time, you will not be left behind. If you are left behind, you can only wait for the next time the gates of the Misty City are opened.

That is, the next morning or evening.

Quite a few people went in, and most of them were cursing and swearing.

"There's practically nothing left on the outskirts! Even the spicy snacks in the supermarket have been snatched up. You have to go deeper into the supermarket to find anything!"

Yes, you can find zero-pollution food that humans once had in the City of Mist.

Because of radiation, the zero-pollution food that humans once had was looted. Deep inside the inner circle, there is not only zero-pollution food, but also food that automatically increases in pollution level due to radiation.

Some frozen goods will automatically gain an amplification effect, so there are two sources for zero-pollution food or zero-pollution amplification food: one is brought out from the Misty City, and the other is made by a master chef!

The plague and radiation of the past brought about the extinction of mankind. In order to gain new life, the people in the laboratory went mad and combined humans and beasts, which is how the beastmen and half-beastmen came to be.

But in the end, he gained the power and survived.

"Be careful, I heard there are more mutants on the outskirts!"

This is Ah Jing's voice.

Entering the City of Mist requires not only guarding against mutants, but also against humans.

Throughout history, the human heart has always been unpredictable.

A newcomer to the City of Mist turned on the water pipes.

"Hey, I heard that everything in the City of Mist is edible. I'm going to get a drink of water first!"

After all, water resources are scarce now, and it's not easy to get a sip of clean water.

"Don't!"

Before his companion could stop him, the man took a bite.

"W-what happened..." She took a sip of water and collapsed to the ground.

"Idiot, didn't you do any research before coming in? You just turn on the tap and drink it. Do you think any water is safe to drink? You should know that this water is unfiltered and contains radioactive nuclear waste. Didn't you know to use a detector first?"

Some of the water in the City of Mist is drinkable, while some is not. The drinkable water is because the old water plant's machines are still running and filtering the water, while the undrinkable water is because the filters are broken, and what comes out is sewage, wastewater, or even nuclear wastewater.

The detector is an essential tool for everyone entering the City of Mist.

Unfortunately... this person was too careless and died just like that.

"There aren't many people lingering on the outskirts, let's keep going!" Most of the people who came in were in teams, after all, it's hard for a lone wolf to survive here.

“Let’s go in a little too.” Arjun and A-Jing stepped forward.

Those who die outside are fools. No one will stop for fools. Besides, there's really nothing left outside, so we need to go further. Also... the further in we go, the more injured people we'll get. Then we'll sell the steamed buns to those kinds of people.

Maybe... someone would buy a steamed bun for ten gold coins!

The yellow sand was shrouded in mist. A mutant rushed over, and every now and then, a mentally broken orc would charge over as well.

"Run! It's a small swarm of mutants!"

Some ran fast, while others were swallowed up in the yellow sand!

"Does anyone have any food?!"

Does anyone have any food that is completely free of contamination?

Someone screamed in despair that his companion was injured and bleeding profusely, while others were pulling their companions to fight off the mutants.

"Eight gold coins for one steamed bun, zero pollution boost to stamina!"

After the stamina boost, I can run out quickly. Once I'm out there, I can slowly heal my wounds. Although the wound is large, it's not fatal.

The man was skeptical.

After all, eight gold coins are not a small number.

"Let's pool our money and buy one for the two of us!"

"If they sell it illegally, you won't be spared!"

Arjun immediately replied, "No, we'll give it to you after you pay, and we'll leave after you finish eating!" This was another form of guarantee.

The two of them pooled together eight gold coins, bought a steamed bun, cut it in half, and took a bite. Sure enough, a warm current flowed through their mouths.

Then my stamina increased slightly.

Unfortunately, because they bought half instead of the whole thing, their stamina only increased by half.

But after eating it, the man's eyes lit up.

"It is indeed a zero-pollution boosting food. A warm current formed in my abdomen, increasing my stamina!"

Meanwhile, the person bleeding nearby was inexplicably given blue buff. Although it wasn't blood that was added, he was still able to quickly rush out of Misty City. If he rushed out now, he could still catch the gate opening time this evening.

After someone conducted an experiment and accelerated the process, confirming that this was indeed a zero-pollution amplification food, the rest of the people also became enthusiastic.

"Are there any steamed buns left? I'd like one!"

It's only eight gold coins. In the main city, something like that would cost at least ten gold coins!

Ah-Qiong and Ah-Jing were already selling this, and upon hearing this, they happily replied, "Yes, yes, eight gold coins each!"

Cash on delivery!

"I only have five steamed buns left. If anyone needs them, hurry up and make them!"

He did indeed only have twenty-five gold coins before he started his scarcity marketing campaign.

"Me, me, me! Give me one!" Those who can enter the City of Mist are all somewhat confident, and pulling out ten or eight gold coins is not a problem.

"Give me one!"

Give me two!

Ah-Jung was in a bit of a dilemma.

"There are only two left. How about we each take one?"

"No, I want two, how about ten gold coins each?"

Sigh, this person is really nice, she's just driving up prices!

"It's twelve gold coins each. I need them urgently, could you please spare one?"

"How ridiculous! Everyone in the City of Mist is in dire need of help!"

The two almost got into a fight.

"Alright, alright, stop hitting me. One for each of you. I'll be back tomorrow. Just find me at the same place and time. The price is the same!"

And that's how business comes in! Business even drives up prices for itself!
