Chapter 106 White Rose Caravan, bicycle delivery [Seeking Pursuit III]
on the fast-moving G1510 Fuxing.
Chen Xuan leaned on the first-class seat and took a nap.
He did not stay in Hangzhou any longer. After all, Tianhai City was his current base camp.
There are still many express deliveries that need to be received, and matters such as business registration and warehouse leasing must be followed up in a timely manner.
And he has no thoughts of moving away just yet.
After living in Tianhai City for several years, he is relatively familiar with this city.
If you simply change your life in a city, it would be meaningless.
When it comes time to move, I’m afraid it’s time to go abroad and build a territory.
Just after seven o'clock in the evening, the Fuxing stopped at the platform on time.
Get out of the station and take a taxi, all in one go.
After returning to the community, he ate three portions of jerky rice at the nearby Lu Province Restaurant.
The boss, who was strong and tall from Lu Province, was amazed.
Chen Xuan is not a picky eater. When he was in Naroa, he basically dealt with Rebecca and the others casually. He did not dislike fast food or simple dry food native to other worlds.
Since practicing magic, his appetite has improved greatly.
The body shape has not changed much, but the muscle lines have become more obvious, and he looks very healthy.
However, his weight increased uncharacteristically by more than ten kilograms.
Chen Xuan is still very concerned about his own changes.
If the body shape remains the same and the weight increases, then this means that the density of his body has changed.
The average unit density of a normal human body is only slightly higher than the density of water.
But after breaking it down, the difference is still huge.
Bones, guts, fat, etc. are all very different.
Chen Xuan didn't dare to go for professional medical testing yet, and he couldn't afford to cut himself open to see what happened.
It's just that he understands one truth, that is, the body cannot be tempered and strong for no reason.
It must have been the influence of magic during magic cultivation that caused something to be added to or changed in the body.
After eating and drinking enough, he returned to the rental house and took a comfortable shower.
After setting the alarm clock, I lay on the bed and fell asleep.
I slept for four hours until about 2 a.m. Blue Star time.
After regaining full energy, Chen Xuan put on his equipment and activated [Crossover] again and returned to Naroa.
...
"Blonde hair, here you go, new one!"
Inside No. 12 Glenn Commercial Street, where the "White Rose" caravan is stationed.
This name was given by Chen Xuan in memory of Rose Key.
Dora Beria returned from the night, stepped into the central tent of the station, raised her hand and threw out a dead head.
Fresh blood spattered from the fracture, leaving several eye-catching red spots on the rammed earth.
Ophelia, who was sitting at the table, looked at the head and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is already the third scout that you two sisters have killed since the arrival of the moonlit night."
Hearing her words, Beria just raised his eyebrows, pulled out a piece of linen cloth and wiped the blood-stained rune dagger.
There were about two hundred magic tears placed on the table in front of her, all of which were prepared for her master.
Another 360 bottles of Magic Tears have been delivered to the three caravans that were previously distributed.
Among them, the most powerful [Red Raven] caravan ate two hundred magic tears alone.
They will use trade routes to transport these magic tears to another town more than 700 miles south of Magatan City for sale.
Recently, the retail price of Magic Tears has been generally stable, around 620 kronor per tube.
Distributors will receive additional discounts when purchasing in bulk, only costing 560 kronor per piece.
This was specially permitted by Chen Xuan.
Since it is a wholesale model, sufficient profits must be left for distributors.
Only in this way will the other party work hard to ship, and the interests of both parties will become closer.
But he would definitely not do anything like advance payment for goods.
Magic Tears is different from traditional products in that it is highly targeted.
Whether you are an adventurer, a mercenary or a kingdom warrior, as long as you carry one with you, you can save your life at critical moments.
However, the mineral in Naroa Continent that can extract magic tears - dark red sand.
The reserves are pitifully small, and there are only seven or eight mining areas in the entire continent.
In a sense, it is even more precious than dark gold.
Because magic tears are consumables, but dark gold is not.
The mining area of dark red sand is wrapped in a thick layer of rock. If this mineral is exposed to a magic environment for a long time, it will undergo significant changes, and the ingredients containing magic tears will disappear.
Therefore, mining, refining, and storage all require quite troublesome processes.
The converted mining cost of a single unit reached about two hundred and seventy kronor.
Taking into account transportation losses and local distribution, the retail price reached an astonishing more than six hundred kronor.
If there was an unlimited supply of magic tears, Naroa's multi-ethnic alliance would have defeated the monsters long ago.
But this is impossible.
Because the Naroa continent is really too big.
Even if all the mercury resources of Blue Star were extracted and brought to Naroa, they would not be able to supply all fronts in the entire continent.
But for Chen Xuan, Blue Star's mercury resources are enough to pave a bright road for him.
After all, he doesn’t have to fight against the entire continent’s monster crypts on his own.
The advantage in the supply of magic tears can not only quickly accumulate wealth, but also allow the "White Rose" caravan to accumulate enough fame as quickly as possible to gain the support of the distribution caravan.
The 360 magic tears sold have brought the caravan 201,600 crowns.
Ophelia will use part of this money to buy storage jewelry, and the rest will be used for the expansion of the caravan.
As for the opening of trade routes, it is a more troublesome matter.
It requires a guide who is extremely familiar with the specific route, a draft horse with long endurance, and an elite guard.
Opening up trade routes is the main way for most caravans to become bigger and stronger.
Capital can only be further revitalized when it flows.
Those traveling merchants would bring Magtan City’s products to corresponding towns or settlements for sale.
Then buy local specialties on the spot and bring them back to Magatan City for sale.
The right route and destination can indeed lead to huge profits.
But the situation of the "White Rose" caravan is different. There is no urgent need to open trade routes in the short term.
Just do a good job of wholesale work of Magic Tears.
The outside world is far more dangerous than the city.
Various natural disasters, magic disorders, violent monsters, wandering monsters, and rampaging bandits can all pose serious threats to caravans.
Most adventurers who dare to go on the road travel in groups.
Some guys are good people in the city, but when they go out into the wild, they turn into bandits.
In addition to the sales of magic tears, the caravan also sold more than a dozen sets of aluminum tableware.
All were transported to the towns to the east.
Countless aristocrats and petty bourgeoisie will pay for aluminum tableware.
The east direction of Magtan City leads to the giant city of Atax.
The Kingdom Straight opened up nine and twelve large settlements along the way.
The trade routes there are relatively safe, but the competition is also greater.
The "White Rose" caravan got off to a good start today.
Only the newly purchased spicy seasonings have not been opened yet.
The main thing is that this thing needs to be smelled, tasted, and even made into dishes to eat so that the caravan leaders can get a clear comparison.
Ophelia didn't have time to make her sales pitch.
Externally, there are magic tears and aluminum tableware, and internally, there are bicycle orders directly handled by the blacksmith association.
It is difficult for a caravan to become bigger and stronger.
In addition, she hired a team of four led by a silver-level adventurer today.
He is an iron-fisted dwarf warrior who is good at using axes and shields.
The reward for each naroya day is 950 crowns, and they are only responsible for the security of the station.
Those guys demanded that all their rewards be exchanged for magic tears.
The price was quite reasonable and both parties were very satisfied.
The guard duty of the city garrison is basically not very dangerous.
The risk is far lower than going out to take on commissions and fight.
Moreover, teams can also take turns practicing.
Both parties have also concluded contracts.
But these guys don't mind their own business. Even if the sky falls outside the station, it doesn't matter to them.
Since entering the moonlit night, there have been a few more sneaky figures wandering around the station.
The two sisters Dora volunteered and killed three scouts in one water hour.
Ophelia didn't know if these scouts were sent by her father later.
This made her a little irritable.
Most importantly, those scouts influenced her subsequent preparations to go to the Blacksmiths Guild.
Because my master had specifically told me that the delivery of the bicycle must be carried out in a concealed manner.
If there are scouts following, concealment will become a joke.
While she was distressed, Dora Yuclan also returned to the station.
She didn't come back with a head. Not every murder requires cutting off the head as evidence.
Only Beria likes to do this.
Yuclan's blade was stained with blood, and there was a gap cut by the sharp blade on her upper arm.
The blood formed two tracks flowing down the arm.
"Yuca, are you injured?"
Ophelia immediately stepped forward and took out the second-level [healing potion] and applied it to her wound.
A faint smoke drifted over, and the wound was visibly healed.
But it will take some time to fully recover.
"I'm fine!"
"Kill all enemies!"
Yuclan said calmly.
The other party invited Bronze-level and Black-Iron-level scouts.
It's not that they don't want to invite high-level people, but there are simply not a few scouts among the silver-level powerhouses left in the city.
Most of them are warriors, and most of them are for the purpose of leading the team for development.
Silver-level spellcasters, rangers, and scouts all basically went to the giant city to develop.
There are higher-level monster crypts, higher-paying commissions, and richer cultivation resources and living conditions there. Who would want to stay in the city forever?
Most of the adventurers and mercenaries in the city who call themselves scouts are also "amateurs."
Relying on the magic skills related to ethnic talents, he plays the role of a scout, just like Rebecca.
The real members of the scout organization are much more powerful than those crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
With the strength of the Zerikan sisters, it is more than enough to chase down and kill these miscellaneous scouts.
And tonight's scouts are different from before, they don't seem to be in the same group.
They should have been hired in batches, and their quality was not too high. One of them was a "little guy" who was at the black iron level.
It seemed that the other party didn't take Ophelia too seriously.
After solving the hidden danger of the scout, she could no longer sit still.
"In that case, let's set off!"
As she said that, Ophelia put the magic tears on the table into a bag and carried it behind her back.
She took the two sisters out of the tent, went to the resident stables, and took out three mountain horses.
It is not convenient to carry three people on a bicycle at the same time. In this case, it is more convenient to ride a horse.
The three women got on their horses, and with the sound of horse hooves clicking, their figures disappeared into the night.
...
In the small courtyard in the West District, Chen Xuan was holding an aqua blue magic crystal and studying the spell model in it attentively and seriously.
"Hmm..."
"Second-level spells are indeed much more complicated."
As his mental perception carefully left traces on every trace of the model pattern engraved in the crystal, the magic crystal shattered.
This situation means that he has initially mastered the magic.
He had returned to Naroa at the first water hour of the moonlit night, and now it was almost the third water hour of the moonlit night.
Chen Xuan finally mastered a second-level magic -
[turbid wave rapids].
The construction of this magic takes more than ten seconds.
When he completed the spell construction, a water wall of two meters high and about eight meters in length was formed in front of him.
This wall of water will be driven by his thoughts and turn into water waves, washing away about thirty meters ahead.
It looks like a small flood peak that occasionally rolls up in urban waterlogging.
Chen Xuan estimated that he could push the car away.
He did not dare to cast this spell with all his strength in the courtyard, so he could only disintegrate it on the spot after a brief attempt.
After the water wall collapsed, all the water flowed into the yard.
There was a "whistle" everywhere.
The casting effect and efficiency of [Turbid Wave Rapids] are affected by the environment.
If used in rivers, lakes and seaside, the power will be further enhanced and the spell formation time will also be shortened.
But if you are in a desert area, it is just the opposite.
After learning this move, regardless of the combat effect, at least Chen Xuan would not die of thirst.
He also finally realized what magic productivity is.
Just when Chen Xuan was about to think about the details of casting the spell.
The kitten girl Rebecca stepped on the water in the yard and trotted up to him holding a walkie-talkie.
"Master, Ophelia just informed me via the intercom."
"She has arrived at the Blacksmiths Association." "
The delivery location is determined to be the warehouse where the magic tears were first handed over." "
The time is one water clock hour later. "
Chen Xuan nodded lightly, turned around, picked up the bulletproof vest and pocket clothes hanging on the wall, and put them on.
Wearing a helmet and tactical glasses, this look is a bit weird in the style of another world.
But it was still within the acceptance range of the indigenous people.
Chen Xuan had already prepared for this transaction.
There were six or seven mule carts waiting in the nearby streets.
They were all found from the villages outside the city while the little cat girl was waiting for word of mouth.
For thirty crowns these guys were willing to wait a whole Naraya day.
When he and Rebecca were outside the city, they got on the bus with only a little food.
The mule train was not very fast, but the frame it towed was wide and large.
And it is very common in the city. Many traveling merchants will temporarily hire mule carts to help.
The next thing to do is simple.
Load the truck, transport it, and go to the warehouse arranged by Ophelia.
It took more than half an hour before and after.
Fortunately, both he and Kitty Girl have bronze-level magic-tempered bodies, so they can easily carry these bicycles.
The Blacksmiths Guild's transport van arrived on time.
The vehicles they used were not animal-drawn vehicles, but two square-shaped things that looked a bit like train leather.
This strange vehicle has two huge wheels in the front and short chassis wheels in the back.
The front axle is very high, allowing the large wheel hubs to synchronize with the chassis wheels.
It's not very fast, but the stability is good.
In addition to the two sisters Ophelia and Zerikan, there were also several strong dwarves who came with them.
Includes level 3 blacksmith Jason Ironforge.
After arriving at the warehouse, the guy inspected them personally, then took out two money bags from his arms and threw them to Ophelia happily.
The fellow dwarves quickly started loading the goods.
No one at the scene said a superfluous word.
The vehicle loaded with bicycles was covered with a curtain and headed back towards the Blacksmiths' Guild.
But Jason Ironforge didn't leave.
He came to Ophelia's side, looked at Chen Xuan with impolite eyes, and nodded in thanks.
"Dear lady, I'm glad you were able to prepare the goods so quickly." "
This makes the association's next modification time a lot easier." "
I just don't know the human being who masters the new technology you mentioned. Which one is it?"
"Is it this guy wearing weird armor?"
Jason Ironforge picked his nose, appearing rude and direct.
Ophelia smiled awkwardly.
Chen Xuan raised his lips.
He hid his hand in the shadow behind his back and shook it slightly.
He took out a Beretta M9 pistol, removed the magazine, and ejected one of the bullets.
"Do you recognize it?"
"Does it look like what's on the bracelet on your wrist?"
At this point, he waved his gun and said in a calm tone.
"Let's go, let's find a tavern and have a good chat."
...
The transition chapter is almost over.
Ah Xuan is going to pick a cave and upgrade his golden finger.
