Chapter 958 When the Gods Shine After
returning to the Mystic Kingdom, Ajie reported the situation to the Chamber of Commerce and handed over the bird claw fruit he brought back to the warehouse manager for distribution through the Chamber of Commerce's channels.
This is also a feature of the chamber of commerce system. Merchants in the chamber of commerce can do business freely, but they need to pay a portion of the chamber of commerce as management fees, which are divided into several levels between 1% and 10% according to different categories of goods.
Bird's claw fruit is 10% of the peak.
Ajie tried to work alone, but the results were poor.
The fruit has a high damage rate, especially the bird's claw fruit, which is difficult to sell to the right buyer while keeping it fresh. If it is delayed for a few days, the bird's claw fruit will rot and become sour, and then it will be worthless.
It is more stable and reassuring to leave it to the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce has a sound ice room, distribution channel and product management process, which can find buyers as quickly as possible and sell through prepayment to ensure that the money reaches the seller.
It is a common phenomenon for individual merchants in the Mystic Kingdom to join the Chamber of Commerce. This Chamber of Commerce model draws on the Yao Clan's [Transcendent Employment Association] and the Twin Snakes Kingdom's [Republic Merchant Management System] and is modified according to the special national conditions of the Mystic Kingdom.
After Ajie received the first down payment from the Chamber of Commerce, he immediately started buying grain.
The price of grain in the Mystic Kingdom is not low. If you want to get it cheaper, you have to go to the Resurrection Kingdom, but they will limit the amount of grain sold there to prevent reselling and raising the price.
This time, Ajie discovered that the food in the two markets was much more expensive and the inventory was seriously insufficient.
He found out after asking around.
It turned out that the number of the Yao clan's Void Fish had increased greatly, resulting in a surge in demand for meat, and a large amount of fresh meat was sent to the Void Fish.
Since it takes time to expand the scale of ranches, the price of meat has risen, and the prices of grains such as wheat and potatoes, which are part of feed, have also risen accordingly.
This has resulted in high food market prices and limited supply in the short term.
It took Ajie three days to collect enough food with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, and he finally reunited with Li Mo at the Chamber of Commerce.
Things were going well for Li Mo.
"The family has applied for a UFO island, which is large enough. The UFO has transformed the area very well. There is a lot of grassland and cattle can be raised there. There is also an artificial lake made of elemental crystals and magic wells, which is enough to accommodate 500 people."
Ajie was secretly surprised.
It seems that I still underestimated the strength of the family behind Li Mo. The Chamber of Commerce had asked for help everywhere but still couldn't get a response, but he actually managed to get a UFO island in three days.
But don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. This has always been the principle of doing long-term business.
Ajie knew that he was not a smart person, and he basically relied on following rules, being hardworking and brave, so he always insisted on his own style.
Li Mo looked relaxed. He sat in the passenger seat and said, "The people of the Fire Ant Tribe are lucky this time. They are enjoying things that the Yao Tribe hasn't enjoyed yet."
"Ajie, you are right. Don't overthink things. Just tell them what they need and what they lack. Let's discuss the first step and talk about the rest later."
He seemed to be in a good mood.
It should be that he received rewards and recognition from his family.
"I also got them a gift this time." Li Mo smiled proudly: "If the Fire Ant Tribe is willing to become our fruit farmers in the Volut Orchard, they will have the right to go to the Temple of the Sun for medical treatment and receive personal diagnosis and treatment from the Goddess of Medicine."
At this time, Ajie's face changed and his mouth became dry and his tongue was dry for a moment.
Even though he was slow-witted, he could roughly guess the other party's identity.
The UFO Island spot that has not yet been announced, the priceless consultation at the Temple of the Sun, and the confidence and courage to open an orchard in a world full of dangers... the other party's identity is already clear.
"Are you a god?"
The smile on Li Mo's face froze: "Ajie, under normal circumstances, you would never think that I am a god, right?"
"And who are you?"
“…”
Li Mo was somewhat helpless and could only say: "Let me introduce myself again. I am Hua Zheng, a senior agent of the Investigation Bureau. This time, I am here on the orders of Lord Yao to investigate the ant-breeding people in Volut and the local fruit trees."
Ajie's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't stop the car, causing the car to twist left and right and almost skid and flip. Hua Zheng, who was standing next to him, was so scared that he quickly asked him to stop the car.
The car finally stopped.
"Lord Yaoshen wants to open an orchard?"
"Yes, that's what the oracle said."
Ajie forced a smile.
"What's wrong?"
"...Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to do business in the future."
Hua Zheng was amused. He patted him on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Brother Jie, why are you still thinking about being a merchant? Are you interested in being our fruit merchant?"
Ajie immediately came to his senses: "Yes, yes!"
Hua Zheng nodded: "You will have more important things to do in the future. A national fruit chamber of commerce will be established in the name of the Resurrection Kingdom, with Apostle Mao Cao as the president. You will be the first merchant in this chamber of commerce."
Ajie immediately became excited: "God Yao, I will ensure that the task is completed!"
"Do your best. I'm counting on you."
…
However, when they returned to the Fire Ant Village, the two brothers could no longer laugh.
What came into view were black and charred trees, and the ground was covered with black ash. The forest had been burned to ashes. In the ruins of the village, three people with bird-beak masks were busy.
Ajie saw that the masked men were bandaging the wounds of the survivors. They wore white gloves, cleaned the festering wounds with clean water, applied powder and ointment, and then covered them with bandages. Their movements were very skillful.
The number of survivors at the scene, including the injured, did not exceed 30.
As soon as he saw them, Gu Ma, with a black and gray face, limped over. He was leaning on a crutch, and his legs were bandaged, and he looked injured.
"Is the food coming?"
The lonely horse's voice was hoarse.
"arrive."
Gu Ma immediately smiled: "That's good, that's good."
The other relatively healthy ant keepers followed him to get potatoes from the car and began to roast them in the stone stove.
Ajie asked: "The Ant Seeding Department is here again?"
"No, it's Firebird."
Gu Ma wiped the dust off his face with a rag, squinted his eyes and looked at the ruins of the village behind him: "In previous years, the firebirds also came, but they always came in winter, and there were only three or five of them. We beat drums and shouted, and they could scare them away. I didn't expect them to come in spring this time."
"There were too many of them, damn it, hundreds of them, all big ones, setting fires everywhere."
There was a look of helplessness and annoyance on his face, and the fingers of his clenched fists were all wrapped in bandages.
It is the worst misfortune to encounter a natural disaster.
Just as Ajie was about to say something to comfort him, Hua Zheng, who was standing next to him, looked at him sharply: "Have you found the reason for the abnormal behavior of these destructive birds?"
Gu Ma was a little dejected: "Those birds just like to set fires everywhere... The doctor over there said that the abnormal temperature caused them to live in groups."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Hua Zheng turned around and asked, "Are the followers of [Slope-cutting Staff] easy to deal with?"
Ajie thought for a moment and said, "They don't like to chat much and they come and go in a hurry, but they are not the type that are difficult to deal with."
"Let's go and talk to them."
Ajie took him all the way there.
The leader, Fanel, is easy to identify. Although he is wearing a bird-beak mask, he has a necklace around his neck with a pendant of a snake wrapped around a pillar.
"Mr. Fanel." Ajie greeted the other party.
Fanel nodded and said, "When we got here, the fire was out. All we could do was rescue those who still had hope. We didn't expect this to happen, so we don't have enough medicine. You Yao people have a lot of special extraordinary medicines. Can you share some of them with us? Some of the injured may still be saved."
Hua Zheng said: "Okay, saving lives is the most important thing."
Both sides began to rescue the wounded together.
The medicine box that Ajie never leaves behind came in handy at this time. His eldest brother always asked him to bring more medicine, which showed his wisdom at this time.
Whether it's anesthesia, wound cleaning or pain relief, he has it all.
While treating a wounded man's burns, Fanel said, "According to our measurements, Volut's climate this year is extremely abnormal. The temperature has dropped sharply recently, going directly from spring to deep winter, and large areas are experiencing snowfall."
"Birds are not used to the sudden change in temperature. Many places have seen large numbers of birds circling. Firebirds don't like humidity and low temperatures, so they've become particularly aggressive. Lady Maid of Mercy's surveyors gave us advance warning that there might be a large number of biological anomalies, but we didn't expect them to come so soon."
Hua Zheng listened carefully: "The surveyors of the Maid of Mercy, are they surveying the topography of the world?"
"This is part of their job." Fanel said in a steady voice. He cut off the excess thread with scissors, covered the wounded with a sheet, and reminded him: "The temperature is very low now. You need to keep warm. Don't lift the quilt."
The wounded man uttered an "oh".
Then Fanel turned around and said, "The surveyors have been working on the soil and water sources, trying to clean up the area from a fundamental level. Once the curse reaches the rules level, it will be difficult to completely remove it. Life here will be affected by the environment. Although the toxins come from the curse of the old gods, if we can curb the environment where the toxins are produced and spread, we can theoretically control it effectively."
"The patients that the surveyors treat are from the entire Volut."
Hua Zheng suddenly said, "You are not here to buy any antidote. Lord [Chepo Staff] is the god of medicine in Greek mythology. You all seem to be experienced doctors and would not need such primitive medicine. You are using this as an excuse to collect blood from the fire ants for testing, right?"
"Yes."
The other party did not intend to hide anything: "In addition, we also purchased corpses in a similar way. We have tried resection, drugs and methods, but have not found a way to curb this hunger disease. There are also drugs that can control hunger to a certain extent, but they put a great burden on the patient's body, which is another more dangerous direct harm."
Hua Zheng said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's just our duty. We are doctors recognized by Lord [Staff of the Slope], and doctors are supposed to help patients. This is not only to help the Ant Keeper, but also to help similar patients in the future. No one knows if the same situation will happen again."
"The surveyor of Lady Merciful Maid wants to find a breakthrough on the surface of the world. The pharmacist of Lord Shennong transplanted a large number of medicinal herbs in an attempt to transform the environment. Everyone is exploring in their own areas of expertise."
Fanel said calmly, "Aren't you also looking for a cure for the disease here?"
"But do you really want to transfer these people to the Yao Clan's world? They are highly contagious... and no effective medicine has been found to eliminate them. Please handle them with caution."
Hua Zheng hummed: "Thanks for the reminder, but we will place them in a special world and temporarily separate them from the outside world."
"I see. This way the disease will not be spread further. This method is very effective, but probably only the Yao clan has the financial resources and can directly use a life world as a ward." The other party said with a smile.
Hua Zheng also smiled: "The Yao tribe is not good at medicine, but we are good at another aspect."
"We will settle the children of the locals and take good care of them, then open up orchards in Volut and give full play to the strengths of the local people. This way we can get delicious fruits, and they can also create value through their labor and get a lot of food. They can build confidence through their labor and settle down and have children on a large scale again."
"As expected of the Yao clan, confidence and hope are the most effective painkillers for them right now."
Fanel said happily: "With your presence, the probability of people here recovering will be greatly increased!"
Hua Zheng also responded politely: "If the people of Volut can really recover their health one day, it must be the result of everyone's hard work. I believe that day will come."
Listen to their conversation.
Ajie suddenly felt clearly that he had unknowingly come to a huge battlefield and participated in a war.
This war is no longer the usual struggle and conquest between gods, but another side of the gods that is not easy to show, their fearless heroism.
On the land of Volut, each god is fighting against death and misfortune in his own way.
Faced with storms and waves, ordinary people would stay away and run away.
The gods, however, will raise their fists against them.
When standing next to the messenger of Yao God, even an ordinary person like me will feel inexplicable confidence and courage.
Just do it, do it.
We can do it! Because we are the Yao people! Ajie said silently in his heart.
Brother, I am also doing something extraordinary now.
