Chapter 41 The Other Side



Bei'an City.

Zhang’s Timber Factory in the southern suburbs.

Two horse-drawn carriages, each pulling a load of logs, stopped at the door.

Logs of this size are rare in Bei'an City.

And the number of two cars is even more rare.

The most surprising thing was that the owner of this batch of logs, the person who transported the logs, and the person who came forward to trade were all the disciples of the Cangxia Sect wearing dark green robes!

The flow of information within Bei'an City has its own system.

The daily lives of ordinary people, the grudges and hatreds of the rich and powerful, and even the anecdotes brought by caravans and tourists, all spread at different speeds and ranges.

But in the past two days, news about the Cangxia Sect has spread throughout the streets and alleys!

Everyone in and out of the city knew that a new immortal sect had emerged in Ningqing Mountain to the west! Disciples from that sect would often appear in various places in Bei'an City.

According to rumors, although these men and women in green do not have the magical powers of immortals, they are indeed disciples of immortals in essence.

In people's minds, immortals are always high and mighty. Even their attendants and servants are arrogant and overbearing. How could they be like the man in green?

"Boss Zhang, this batch of logs were just cut down by us brothers, and they are definitely not soaked in water. Look at the fracture marks and weigh them. Two taels of silver per square is not expensive at all!" A player named "Artificial Lake" introduced his truckload of goods in an experienced tone.

"Does the NPC understand the unit of measurement called 'fang'?" On the other side, a player named "How to Survive in Novels Without Cheats" asked another player behind him.

"I don't know. The game company should have considered it, right?" replied the player whose name was a string of numbers.

Mr. Zhang, the lumber mill owner, was all smiles, but inside, he was incredibly nervous. He cleared his throat and replied, "Gentlemen, this lumber is truly excellent. I'm willing to pay twenty taels of silver for each load."

"Twenty taels per cart?"

“How many cubic meters is one car?”

"I don't know. Five pieces of wood, maybe four or five cubic meters?"

"Why do I look like two or three cubes?"

Without professional tools and relevant experience, players are completely confused about calculating the volume of wood. Even if they check the inventory, they can only see one piece of wood.

If you have read a tree atlas, at most you will have one more species of wood in your sight.

"Ask other families?"

"OK!"

The man in green said something that Boss Zhang couldn't understand, and said in front of him that he would ask other families.

In the past, Boss Zhang would have definitely called his waiters to come up and chase them away.

But now, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction at all.

On the contrary, he continued to smile.

It felt like facing the City Lord Wang.

No, although City Lord Wang is in a high position and has great power, he is also very kind and friendly when dealing with businessmen like us!

This man in green doesn't play by the rules at all!

The man in green pulled the cart away temporarily, and came back after a while.

"Boss Zhang, you offered the highest price, so I'll sell it to you."

"Yes, yes, I'll go get the money right away."

Boss Zhang ran back to the factory to get the money, and at the same time instructed his men to move the tools and go up to unload the goods.

When the players saw several young men struggling to hold up a pile of support poles and hemp ropes, they quickly waved their hands, muttering why it was so troublesome, and then two of them lifted one pole and moved the wood directly down.

The young man at Zhang's Lumber Factory was stunned on the spot.

Even Boss Zhang found it difficult to hold back and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

"Where?"

"Just put it over there..."

Boss Zhang wanted to say politely, "Thank you for your concern, sir," but he held it back.

After all, such a big log would probably take several of his men working together to barely lift it.

On the other hand, the two immortal masters who were carrying the wood looked relaxed and had plenty of energy left.

In their perception, it is impossible for someone with such powerful strength to care about them like this!

The King's cordial attitude towards them was merely a bonus for the taxes he collected from them.

Man-made Lake calculated the profits and said to his companions, "One cart costs twenty taels, two carts cost forty taels, and a trip starts at 80 contributions. If we divide it among the four of us, each person will only have 20 contributions. Damn, this is not worth it!"

"And the cost of hiring a carriage."

“And the cost of our time.”

"Turtle, what a loss!"

"A brilliant planner!"

"If we continue to sell wood, we need to choose high-quality wood and increase the amount of goods shipped each time. We can even hire these NPCs to help..."

"Damn, how are you so smart? You can even think of this?"

Boss Zhang thought for a moment, then nervously stepped forward. Taking advantage of a moment between the immortal masters' conversations, he asked, "Thank you for your hard work, immortal masters. I've prepared some wine. Please take a rest..."

The players turned around instantly and stared at Boss Zhang with incredible eyes.

Boss Zhang's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

Did my words upset the immortal masters?

That's right, the Immortal Masters' attitudes must be unpredictable...

However, before Boss Zhang could fully develop his thoughts, he saw one of the immortal masters enthusiastically climbing onto his shoulders: "Boss Zhang, you're so polite! We'd be remiss not to accept your offer!"

The players also suddenly realized a problem.

That is, by dealing with the NPCs in Bei'an City, you can increase the NPC's favorability and town reputation!
