Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Trading!

Translator: Zayn_ 

Ren Qi arrived at the hidden trading channel that he had found.

It was located 500 meters to the left of his territory. The entrance was under a large rock.

If it wasn’t for Elise’s strong perception, he probably wouldn’t have been able to find this entrance.

The rock had already been moved away. The entrance required a password. Ren Qi entered his HLA membership number and successfully opened the entrance.

The entire passage slanted downwards, emanating a metallic texture. Ren Qi led Elise down the passage.

There was still enough energy in the trade passage. The photo equipment lit up, making the passage appear very bright, even brighter than the outside.

Inside, there was a simple display instrument, and in front of it was a long passage.

Each display device had a code. One only needed to know the code of both parties, and then enter the item they wanted to trade on the screen. After the other party agreed, they would place the item under the display device and scan it for confirmation. Then, they could trade.

This method could not only be used to trade items, but also energy coins. As long as one entered the number of energy coins on it, it could be swiped directly from the card.

At this moment, the chat group was already bustling with activity.

[ Li Tianyu (Northwest Ranking #7) : My number is 05. Does anyone sell demonic meat of Tier 3 and above? I can use energy coins to pay for it. Twice the market price! ]

[ Big Demon King: Brothers, does anyone have any extra defensive items to sell? I’ll buy it. I’ll pay as many energy coins as I can! ]

[ Zhang Yifeng: Tier 1 demon meat for sale, a total of 10 kg for 2,000 energy coins, no cheating. ]

[ Autumn Wind: F * ck! The profiteers upstairs are doubling the price. ]

[ Zhang Yifeng: it’s up to you whether you want to buy it or not. I’m clearly marking the price. If you think it’s too expensive, don’t buy it. ]

After learning about the hidden trading channel, all the new lords began to post their transactions and requests in the chat group.

With a thought, Ren Qi also wrote a line of words in the chat group.

[ 777: Tier 3 demonic meat, 20 kg in exchange for 10 Energy Crystals. Also, selling Tier 0 demonic meat, 100 kg for 1 energy crystal. Come as soon as possible. ]

Once the message was posted, the entire chat group immediately became a sensation.

Most of the members in the chat group were buying items with energy coins. Even if someone was selling, the items were all Tier 1 or Tier 2 demonic meat. After all, even if they had awakened high-tier soldiers, their current levels were not high, so they could only attack Tier 1 or Tier 2 demons.

Some of them could kill Tier 3 demons, but the demonic meat they gathered was not even enough to feed their own troops, so they naturally would not sell it.

Therefore, when Ren Qi’s message appeared, everyone guessed in their hearts that he was either a big shot with lots of resources or a short-sighted idiot who sold only resources.

But no matter what, it could not stop people from cursing profiteers.

[ Zhang Yifeng: F*ck! You still call me a profiteer? Look at this person. 20 kg of Tier 3 demonic meat in exchanged for 10 energy crystals! What kind of price is this?! This is a true profiteer, okay?! ]

[ Autumn Wind: It’s true. Motherf*cker, even 100 kg of cheap Tier 0 demonic meat can be sold for an energy crystal? This is crazy. ]

Ren Qi’s expression didn’t waver as he read the messages.

The price was ridiculous, but demonic meat was priceless right now.

Let alone Tier 3 demonic meat, some people didn’t even have Tier 0 demonic meat.

Most of the new lords needed time to develop.

Most of the new lords didn’t expect such a situation to happen when the Lord’s Space materialized, so they didn’t prepare any food.

Now, the demonic meat above Tier 1 could not be used to feed all the soldiers and themselves. It was like drinking poison to quench thirst. Using that meat to level up the troops was the only correct choice.

Only when the level of the soldiers increased would they be able to go out and hunt monsters. Otherwise, if they were stuck in the territory, they would only die of exhaustion.

Therefore, to them, the Tier 0 demonic meat was actually more precious than energy crystals.

After all, the most important thing now was not to upgrade the recruitment pool, but to survive.

Just as many people were criticizing Ren Qi in the chat group, Ren Qi’s private chat had already exploded.

Most of the people were here to buy Tier 0 demonic meat from Ren Qi. They were lords who were not well-prepared. They thought that after the territory materialized, they could hunt Tier 1 and Tier 2 monsters to feed their troops, so all the demonic meat they bought had been upgraded.

They did not expect to encounter such a situation. They were blocked by Tier 3 or above monsters in their territories. Fortunately, there was a hidden trading channel, so they could buy the demonic meat from other lords.

Tier 1 and above demonic meat would definitely level up their troops. However, they did not have much Tier 1 and above demonic meat. In addition, that meat was definitely more expensive now, so they could only prioritize raising the levels of a few soldiers.

As for the remaining troops, they needed Tier 0 demonic meat to maintain their levels.

Of course, they first bargained with Ren Qi. Ren Qi, however, did agree to anything less and just set the price at 100kg per energy crystal.

In just an hour, Ren Qi sold a total of 10,000 kg of Tier 0 demonic meat and obtained 100 energy crystals!

Outside, energy crystals were priced at 40,000 energy coins each. 100 energy crystals were equivalent to 4,000,000 energy crystals. As for this 10,000 kg of Tier 0 demonic meat, it only cost 100,000 energy coins.

This was already top-tier profiteering.

However, Ren Qi did not feel the slightest burden in his heart. After all, he was trading energy crystals. To most new lords, energy crystals were not as important as demonic meat.

Although they could not recruit soldiers without energy crystals, without sufficient demon meat, even if they recruited soldiers, they would starve to death.

Just as Ren Qi was about to end today’s transaction, a private message was sent over.

[ Li Tianyu (Northwest Ranking #7) : Brother, how much do you want for this 20kg of Tier 3 demonic? I’ll buy it. ]

Ren Qi pondered for a moment. This person should not be lacking in money. He was at least a second generation leader. In addition to the rewards from the seventh on the northwest ranking, he should not be lacking in energy coins.

According to his previous messages, he should have Tier 6 units. He needed more demonic meat to level up, which was why he was so short of demonic meat now.

After thinking for a moment, Ren Qi directly replied, “Number 05, right? I’ll directly give you these 20 kilograms of demonic meat.”

Li Tianyu obviously did not expect Ren Qi to reply like this. He paused for a few seconds before replying, “Brother, what does this mean?”

Ren Qi smiled and shook his head. People were like this. When he sold at a high price, they would grit their teeth and pay. But now that he directly gave it away, they were getting suspicious.

“Nothing much. I’m just making friends. In addition, if you have more high-tier demonic meat for sale in the future, please contact me first.”

Ren Qi typed this line in the chat box and sent it out.

20 kilograms of Tier 3 demonic meat wasn’t a big deal to Ren Qi at the moment. He could make that amount in a single day.

After Li Tianyu’s soldiers leveled up, he would definitely hunt high-tier monsters. At that time, he would also need high-tier demonic meat.

After all, Elise was already at Tier 5. The effect of the Tier 3 demonic meat on her rank was no longer very obvious.

“Haha, good! You are really an interesting person. I’ll consider you a friend. Don’t worry. When my troops’ level increases, I will give you priority when I trade the excess demonic meat.” After seeing Ren Qi’s reason, Li Tianyu said without hesitation.

If he could have free stuff, he naturally had to take the free stuff.

After sending 20 kilograms of Tier 3 demonic meat to Li Tianyu, Ren Qi returned to his territory.

On the way, another piece of news caught Ren Qi’s attention.

“Handsome, your number is 18, right? I’m 20. We should be quite close. Do you want to cooperate?”
