"In addition, I also need slaves for various trades such as plumbing, electrical work, welding, repairmanship, and construction. Name your price... but..."
Qin Yiyi looked up at the fat slave trader.
"If the price isn't right, that would be a problem. I don't like being seen as a sucker!"
The slave trader glanced at the two tall, pure-blooded orcs behind her. Their auras were so subtle, yet they didn't show any overt orc genes. What else could they be but pure-blooded orcs?
The fact that Qin Yiyi could use pure-blooded orcs as guards shows that she has a powerful background.
He immediately laughed and said, "We are all honest people and run a legitimate business. We won't raise prices. These slaves are 10 gold coins each. You know, ordinary slaves are cheap now, but skilled slaves are very scarce!"
"Scarcity? I heard the Empire is at war with the Federation again and has brought over a lot of slaves? The slave market is overflowing now. If your market can't offer this price, I can just go to other markets!"
Qin Yiyi wouldn't let him try to lower the price. If she wanted to buy slaves, she had already done her research beforehand! The current situation of the slave market, the prices, and... the Federation's territory has been attacked by the Empire again. These small merchant guilds, families, and other groups that formed the republican federation are no match for a behemoth like the Empire.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Federation lacks outstanding generals.
Seeing that Qin Yiyi, though young, was not easily fooled, the slave trader gestured: "Eight gold coins, how about eight gold coins each? You can't buy that anywhere else in Chaos City at this price, let alone here, I'm the biggest slave market in Chaos City!"
Qin Yiyi didn't even look at the mother and daughter anymore.
"We don't want any of them, Sid. Get the car ready, we're heading to Storm City!"
Although Storm City is a bit far, it's only an hour or two's drive from Chaos.
"Hey, don't go, don't go! Go to the Storm Leaders, they only know how to mix a little rum, where can you find slaves as plentiful, as complete, and as cheap as our Chaotic Territory! Since you want a lot, it's only 6 gold coins each, I really can't lower the price any further!"
"Five gold coins each, I want a hundred slaves. Consider this little girl a gift; she can't do anything anyway, and it's a waste of food to feed her here!"
Five gold coins each, although the price is indeed a bit low, but it takes away a hundred slaves at once. These hundred slaves need to be fed highly polluted food every day, and they also need to eat low-pollution food once every five days. Leaving a day earlier saves a day's worth of food.
Qin Yiyi is right; this is exactly what the slave traders are looking for.
And if we buy this large number of slave traders all at once, who knows what other needs we might have in the future? Why not go to him instead?
Thinking of this, the slave trader smiled, revealing his inlaid gold teeth.
"Then it'll be five hundred gold coins. You can pay one hundred upfront, and I'll have someone make room for you. Go to the arena and see, it'll be more spacious!"
This child was a gift; he chose a woman, so he still needs 99 slaves.
This was a big deal during the day. Even people with titles within the territory would buy slaves in batches of ten or twenty, but this deal involved a hundred slaves.
The slave owner accompanied him personally.
He earned at least four hundred gold coins from this deal.
The reason why slaves are so valuable when they are resold is because this batch of slaves were cheap federal prisoners of war. He used his connections and the army sold them to him cheaply.
There were so many people that the slave owners in every territory were scrambling to grab them, but he got the best quality ones, which is why he dared to sell them for five gold coins each!
He wouldn't have lowered the price to around 5 gold coins if it weren't for Qin Yiyi buying 100 at once.
"Look at the quality of this."
The slave owner whispered, "This batch consists of Federation soldiers who have been on the battlefield. They are all quite capable and skilled. If you don't want to work in any particular trade, you can even become a bodyguard!"
Qin Yiyi's eyes lit up. She knew that after the Empire seized the Federation territory, there would be a lot of slaves, but she thought that the ones sent over were just Federation people in the territory. She did not expect that they were actually Federation soldiers!
She had always wanted to train her own team in her territory, but at first the team was old and the team was young, and later the men and women who came were pale and thin. They had no foundation and their orc genes were not outstanding (they were not tiger or bird genes), so their combat power was relatively weak and they could not form a well-trained team.
At most, they could work as a security team.
The people in the Federation are different; they can either work as plumbers or maintenance workers, or they can form a force and build their own team.
Although they were defeated soldiers, there were too many reasons for the Federation's defeat, and it was not the soldiers' fault at all. They did not have good generals, did not receive good training, and even military law was a complete mess. Being commanded by stupid people, they could never achieve true victory!
"How many slaves of this type are left?" She planned to acquire them all. The enhanced electronic handcuffs prevented her from attacking specific orcs, but everything else remained unaffected.
(For example, you cannot attack the lord, but there will still be situations where slaves fight each other or with other people. You can fight but you cannot attack the corresponding person. Also, the electronic handcuffs have a positioning function and an electric shock switch.)
Hearing Qin Yiyi say this, the slave owner smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"We've met a truly generous person! Look, there are three hundred in total. You can take them all at this price if you want!"
The common slaves of the Federation are different from the prisoners of war slaves. There are a large number of common slaves, but he managed to seize the best three hundred prisoners of war slaves.
"I fought with all my might to snatch these three hundred, you see..."
He whipped the man, but the man didn't utter a sound.
He then randomly struck several more women, all of whom were very resilient. He hit the men and kicked a few women, but none of them cried out.
"These are the best prisoners of war. You can hit them however you like, and they can remain silent while you vent your emotions. Many young ladies and wives from earls and marquises like this kind of prisoner!"
The slave owner wanted to raise the whip and lash him again.
Qin Yiyi stopped him.
"I'll take all 1,500 gold coins. Now that you're mine, you can't just attack me as you please, right?"
Qin Yiyi spoke in a low voice.
The slave owner happily accepted the money and said to the row of prisoners of war kneeling on the ground, "You've met a great benefactor today. I've never seen a family send out hundreds of prisoners of war in such an orderly fashion! Consider this your companionship during this chaotic time."
These prisoners of war and slaves have been waiting for such a great thing!
