I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Although there was no time to stock up, and harvesting in this world was very inconvenient, after the Industrial Priest created a series of construction equipment powered by magic crystals, the food sold in the Great River Territory in the past few quarters was still measured in thousands of tons.

It doesn't sound like much, and it's ordinary on earth.

But in this era of low productivity, it would be impossible for the alluvial plain where the Great River Territory is located to produce food of this magnitude without relying on the energy of Elysium.

If you say it, you will be treated as a joke.

Therefore, it was a little hard for Lily to understand. After selling so much food, why would anyone still want to eat such food that was affected by corruption?

Logically speaking, the food sold by Dahe Ling should be cheaper than these corrupted food, right?

"At first, we couldn't transport food well, and the food was basically supplied to our neighbors and Fanhua Port, which has shipping connections. Later, although there was a portal that could transport food on a large scale, it was only more than two months ago that the Blue Star people were in trouble again."

Of course, what Jerry said is only a secondary reason...

“So what should be done to change this situation? 』

Even someone as innocent as Lily could vaguely realize when faced with this kind of thing that this was definitely not a problem that she could solve by just beating someone up.

Don’t even know who to go to, the King of Norton Kingdom?

Shushu feels that this problem may never be completely solved.

"The people at the bottom of this plane are easily precarious. Unlike some members of our... trade alliance, many of them already have a basic welfare system."

The richer a plane is, the more powerful professionals it can produce, and the easier it is to be destroyed due to disputes between professionals, and the easier it is to decline... and then start a new cycle of reincarnation.

In other words, the richer a plane is, the poorer a plane is.

QED

"I guess your Doval Penguin's arithmetic skills must not be very good." Chen Zhou complained, what the hell is this inference? What have you proved?

"This bird-like magical beast is also a humanoid creature?" The food transport officer looked at the birdman who shouted with interest, "Is it very rare?"

"I am an aborigine of the Fairy Wilderness. I am much rarer than you humans. Do the elves know that they are essentially the same race as us?"

Elves do have an inexplicable and inexhaustible inner connection with fey creatures.

The grain transport officer was thoughtful, so this race called Penguins are also elves?

Elves were just elves. Anyway, he had neither seen elves nor Dorval Penguins before this.

But just by looking at the extraordinary demeanor of these three people, you can tell that they are not ordinary nouveau riche.

"I suggest you find a guide when you get to the bottom, otherwise you will easily run into trouble down there."

After that, the grain transport officer stopped communicating with the three people and just concentrated on taking care of the grain and grass he was responsible for...

A few minutes later, the elevator took everyone slowly down to the ground.

Before they actually arrived underground, Chen Zhou and his party saw from a high position the messy, densely packed shacks, houses made of rocks, and the rat men who numbly looked at them.

A very dilapidated-looking settlement came into view.

This place is called the shallow stronghold, also known as the abyss. It is the place closest to the surface of Snow Dungeon, and it is also the place where the alchemy materials are theoretically least contaminated.

Most people on the ground who seek excitement will basically choose to stop at the shallow level after encountering the disgusting passages, dilapidated dungeons, and the pale and bloodless rat men.

What's more, some people simply don't even get off the elevator and return to the surface the same way they came.

Of course, equipment, supplies, introductions, etc. are not returnable or exchangeable.

"They look so..."

Lily didn't know what words to use to describe these rat people.

Most of the rat people were expressionless, but they gradually became happy after seeing the grain transport officer and the baggage train.

Even if they have to break the copper coins in half to spend the shallow layer, the monthly grain transport team is the old acquaintance they look forward to most.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the overseers holding whips or flails were watching eagerly from the sidelines, they would have rushed forward to greet them as soon as possible.

"You can't do business in a place like this." Teela murmured in a low voice. It was impossible for the rat people to have the wealth that she could gather.

Xiao Hei was shocked. You still want to do business in such a ghost place?

In this environment, even a rice, a glass of water, a mouthful of air would not be allowed to come into contact with the astral hamster, so how could there be any valuable property that had not been exploited by the people above?

"That's not necessarily the case." Chen Zhou said calmly, "Sometimes the goods don't have to be real things."

Tila was confused: "What does this mean?"

Selling a concept?

Do these ratmen look like people with so much free time?

Chen Zhou shook his head repeatedly. He was totally wrong. A truly qualified businessman should know how to create demand.

"I got tired of hearing this kind of talk hundreds of years ago. No matter how much you create, there must be residual value. I am a legal businessman and I am not involved in the sale of human bodies or souls!"

Seeing that Penguin still looked confused, Chen Zhou suddenly understood how others felt when his intelligence was not online.

It's hard to communicate with idiots.

"Actually, alchemists are also very intelligent professionals, and investigators are even more in need of intelligence. Theoretically, Tira cannot be unintelligent."

But just like the genius (self-proclaimed) prophet Natya who lived in Blossom Port a long time ago, superior intelligence does not mean superior wisdom...

Natya's problem lies in his slow reaction and lack of brain power, while Tira basically has no knowledge of the main material plane other than books and oral knowledge.

"Okay, then I won't be the Riddler."

So Zhou You decisively optimized the efficiency of his message delivery: "What I want is for you to fast forward to help the rat people return to the surface and establish a political power. Only by paying the price of blood, fire and life can you truly change their situation."

Hearing this, Tira sighed helplessly: "I'm not in long-term business. Instead of dealing with these rat people, it's better to go to the Aindra River Territory in the Frostfall Land in the north."

The little black gear on the side was buzzing, and it was thinking that if Tiara continued like this, he might as well stop visiting the Great River Territory.

"Lily has completely understood!" 』

Lily, who was unhappy with this disastrous scene, realized the key point.

Even if they beat someone up to vent their anger on these rat-men, there is no point. Using the Holy Light Envoy to deliver food to the rat-men can only solve a temporary emergency.

The real problem is that these rat people are endlessly oppressed and exploited.

If you want to truly help them, you need to encourage them to return to the surface and regain their freedom!

In other words, they need to conquer the world ASAP!

"Kitty, is this Carnival Dragon going to be spoiled by you?"
