Chapter 48 The Merchant Points the Way Zhu Hui’s attention is now successfully attracted…
Now Zhu Hui's attention has been successfully attracted?
As soon as Ye Lu said this, Zhu Hui calmed down instantly and said hesitantly: "This condition is a bit too high."
Zhu Hui and other so-called supports for the growth of laurel should be the majority of the supports for strange beads.
The strange power required for a companion strange plant is definitely not simple. What if the strange plant is special, and only the leaves have the ability to sense the moonlight, and the fruits and seeds it produces have other functions or are useless? Then Zhu Hui's investment will be wasted? Does he have to spend money to buy those fruits and seeds? There is a precedent for this.
Ye Lu immediately understood why Zhu Hui was hesitating. He raised his hand and shook a finger, saying, "No, no, no. What I mean is that Chief Zhu Hui can prepay your share first, and then you can get your share when the laurel tree bears fruits and seeds. Strictly speaking, you don't have to pay even a single fee."
"Just pay the Guizhu in advance, and come back to pick up the goods three years later."
"The question before you now is - are you willing to bet with me?" Ye Lu smiled politely.
If anyone has worked in modern society and heard what Ye Lu said, they would suddenly realize that there is no such thing as gambling. Isn't this essentially an advance payment? Some suppliers with good sales will manipulate Party A in this way. Before their own goods are produced, they will first pay the advance payment, then use Party A's money to buy materials and then produce.
However, this is a different world, and Zhu Hui has never seen this method before.
He bet that the laurel seeds three years from now would have a stronger ability to sense moonlight, or even stronger other abilities. By then, he would own a share of the first three batches of laurel seeds. Just thinking about it would make him crazy.
Zhu Hui was able to come to the remote west to expand trade routes right after his establishment. He has a gambling nature, betting on the unknown, betting on luck, and only the unknown can bring more gains. Ye Lu's words completely touched his heart.
It's just an advance payment for the goods, nothing else has been paid, do you want to take a gamble?
Zhu Hui's smile deepened. Of course he was betting. He believed in the companion plant and this super talented weirdo even more: "Of course, I wonder how many resources you need, my guest?"
Ye Lu said without hesitation: "Twenty thousand Huangli-level Weird Pearls. In addition, I also need ten thousand resources to nourish the Weird Plant, a total of thirty thousand Huangli-level Weird Pearls. I will wait until the laurel tree blooms and bears fruit. Three years later, I will use the laurel seeds to settle the bill."
"make a deal."
Zhu Hui also agreed.
"I want to exchange all of the ten thousand Huangli-level ghost beads for the dried meat I just saw!" Ye Lu pointed at the dried meat that Zhu Hui had just held in his hand, and said that he had been coveting this dried meat from the very beginning, and of course he had to buy it since he finally got the ghost beads.
Zhu Hui hesitated a little: "Ten thousand is more than three hundred and thirty? A piece of dried meat..."
"Captain Zhu Hui, please round it up to three hundred and thirty-four." Ye Lu interrupted Zhu Hui with a smile and gave the dried meat to make up the total, looking innocent as he spoke.
Zhu Hui choked. This kid really knows how to take advantage. He said, "But this is a bit too much."
"I am not the only one in my family. There are also my two brothers who need to awaken their talents." Ye Lu suddenly thought of something and said, "Your jerky can be eaten by people with medium or super talents, right?"
"Yes, but it's a bit of a waste." Zhu Hui answered reflexively. Then, he heard Ye Lu's words and asked curiously: "What are the talents of your two brothers?"
"One medium and one super."
"Are they all auxiliary talents? Do they have strange plants?" Zhu Hui's eyes lit up and he asked.
Ye Lu shrugged and interrupted Zhu Hui's fantasy, saying: "It's a pity that my two brothers are both talented in combat."
"I want 10,000 strange beads of the tree genus, Chief Zhu Hui, you must have some, right? What do you recommend for 10,000 resources to nourish strange plants?"
"Let me think about it. As for the laurel tree, its attribute is moonlight, and it would be best if it is a resource that is more feminine." Zhu Hui looked away in disappointment. After hearing Ye Lu's question, he also reflexively started to do business. After thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands and said, "I got it. Do you know the Shiwandashan Mountains? Swamps often appear there. Sometimes there is a kind of tree root in the swamp that looks like a tentacle and preys on flesh and blood. A nearby tribe calls this kind of weird tree a swamp tree."
"The swamp tree is a tree of dual attributes, water and strange, both of which are negative, and they complement each other to nourish the laurel tree."
"Originally, I wanted to take it to the King of Beasts to ask. Since Laurel Tree needs it, I have some putty here, so I can give it to you as well."
"The Swamp Tree Mysterious Pearls have both Yellow Severe and Green Phantom grades. My suggestion is to exchange 4,000 for Yellow Severe grade Swamp Tree Mysterious Pearls and 3,000 for Green Phantom grade Yellow Severe grade Mysterious Pearls. You can exchange the remaining 3,000 for some soil resources. I also have some special Mysterious Spiritual Soil made from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which can help the Moon Mysterious Pearl take root in the earth better."
"Okay, everything will be done according to your words." To be honest, Ye Lu had no idea about the resources that Zhu Hui mentioned. Many of these resources were the first time he had heard of them. He believed them as soon as Zhu Hui mentioned them. After all, a businessman would not let himself lose money. It must be the best ratio he could think of.
"I should still have 1,500 strange beads, right?" Ye Lu raised his head and looked at Zhu Hui again. He also mentioned, "The bay leaf just now."
"That's right, what do you want?" Zhu Hui nodded and said readily.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Ye Lu hesitated.
There are indeed a lot of good things here at Zhu Hui. He wants everything but can't afford anything, so he might as well just ask directly.
"My suggestion is to buy more strange food." Zhu Hui's attitude was also very good, almost knowing everything. He blinked and said: "It is best to try all kinds of strange food. Of course, you have to avoid strange food that is absolutely in conflict with your attributes. For example, if you are a fire attribute, then you should avoid water attributes. For the others, believe me, you will like them."
Ye Lu heard something hidden in Zhu Hui's words.
"You can buy ten yellow-level strange beads and a bottle of Moon Spirit Nectar. This is strange food made by a village in the south that is good at raising bees. It is also of the Moon element. You, who own a laurel tree, probably have a certain degree of sensitivity to the Moon element. Three strange beads and a bottle of Tuzhi powder. If I remember correctly, you are fleeing from famine, right? When you reach your new place of residence, you will know the benefits of Tuzhi powder."
"Then exchange them all into the two types you mentioned." Ye Lu waved his hand.
"Thank you very much for your patronage." Zhu Hui smiled happily. As soon as he opened his mouth, people came in from outside the tent to help carry the goods.
Perhaps in order to reassure his sponsor, Ye Lu specially invited Zhu Hui to go to their camp to see the laurel tree. Ye Lu knew very well that he had to give people a little sweetness in order to make his plans better.
Zhu Hui looked forward to it happily, and left the rest of the business to the young man from the tribe. He followed Ye Lu and the others' convoy to He Village. He smiled and ignored the curious looks along the way.
Until I saw the laurel tree in the carriage.
"This is Ah Gui, this is Ah Xi, and I am Ye Lu." Ye Lu began to introduce the ghost scholar and the Xi Mingren in his carriage.
Zhu Hui nodded and greeted, then couldn't wait to look at the laurel saplings in the carriage. It was night time, and the moonlight was shining, revealing the laurel tree in its most beautiful appearance. The moonlight condensed on every leaf on the tree, forming a layer of light mist.
Zhu Hui looked at the laurel tree with fascination, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really is worthy of being a strange plant that senses the moonlight. Even when it is growing, it will unconsciously attract the moonlight. It is natural for it to have such an ability."
The laurel tree in the carriage was basking in the moonlight, feeling happy. It sensed the breath of its companion, and when it turned around, it saw another strange two-legged beast around it, and its mood instantly became bad.
The laurel tree still remembered that the last time a strange two-legged beast came, it had fewer branches and leaves. New and old grudges came up at the same time, making it even more unhappy.
The laurel tree's spiritual consciousness hid in the roots without hesitation, emitting a sense of expulsion. At the same time, the spiritual consciousness was sending a message to Ye Lu, "Hate, two-legged beasts, hate, ask him to leave, it's dangerous, it will hurt you, branches and leaves, don't let him go!"
"This laurel tree is still very energetic. It seems that you have taken good care of it." As soon as Zhu Hui sensed the active spiritual consciousness around him, he knew that the laurel tree had awakened its consciousness. He became happier instantly and began to praise it.
Ye Lu, who understood the divine consciousness completely, coughed without leaving any trace and said, "That's right, Yue Gui's divine consciousness has been more active since childhood."
After seeing the laurel tree, Chief Zhu Hui felt that his investment was completely worthwhile. He believed that the laurel seeds produced by such a strange plant would be even more valuable in the future, and the ability to sense moonlight would be even more likely. His future was bright.
"The level of the companion plant will increase with the level of the companion. I hope that when we meet next time, you can break through to the Qingyou level." Before leaving, Zhu Hui couldn't help but congratulate him.
After Zhu Hui saw the laurel tree, his smile never disappeared. When he was in a good mood, he would bless everything he saw.
Ye Lu nodded. Of course he knew this. The Yellow Li-level Laurel Tree was so powerful. What about the Qingyou-level and the Bloody Grudge-level? Ye Lu couldn't help but be moved just by thinking about it.
Zhu Hui was satisfied and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to turn around, he caught a glimpse of the people from He Village packing up their caravan not far away. He stopped and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, guest, can you tell me where you are going to escape from the famine?"
There is nothing that cannot be said. It is just as expected. They display various strange plants to attract caravans. Ye Lu answered: "Forbidden Stone Mountains."
Zhu Hui nodded and said, "My guess was right. You guys really want to go to that place."
"Then I, a humble person, will give you a piece of information for free, considering that our transaction was very pleasant. If you start from this station and head south, you will come across a big rock. That is Huoshan Village. The people there have very good personalities. The strange plants grown in the village are Huoshan Dendrobium."
"Go around Huoshan Village and take the small road. After about 10 miles, you will see a swamp. Behind the swamp is a large and continuous mountain range. The land is quite fertile and has good power."
"Except that there may be some minor weirdness in the swamp, but those mountains are close to each other, and it is a pretty good place among the forbidden stone mountains."
"As for the weirdness, if I see correctly, the guest's tribesmen are quite knowledgeable about martial arts, have infinite strength, and have many talented weirdos. It will be easy for them to deal with the weirdness in the swamp." Zhu Hui said slowly.
As expected of a merchant from Shizhu Village whose footsteps are all over the world, the information he provided even included the forbidden stone ridges.
