Chapter 19: The Path to Richness! (Part 2)

Time passed quickly and its been a week since he visit the secret land hence he decided to enter it today. These past few days, Alexander would either eat, sleep and roam the whole village. He sometimes treat the two kids and since Merck is still not home, he took this chance to just laze around.

Upon entering the secret land, he notice some changes on its landscape and he can hear wild beast roar every now and then. He knock on the house and greet by the old man. “welcome back host! Please take a sit. I have some good news.” Alexander took his sit and look at the table. “hmm… you serve tea now?” asked by Alexander “that’s one of the good news, since the retrieval of the cold spring lake as well as the crimson blaze flower, the. System found out that the flower is also good for brewing teas.” The old man explained. Alexander pick up one of the cup and took a sip. “hmm… it’s delicious! Can this also be a product?” he asked. “as of now, it is not viable host. As of recently, the system able to cultivate it and as of now, we only have a several grams of this flower. But rest assured host, with your increase in rank, the land will also be upgraded as well as the elemental energy in it and it will be more easier to cultivate herbs with a higher quality.”

Alexander nod and ask for the current report for the wild beast. “according to the recent report, it has been a month here in the land and there is an increase of the population of the wild beast as well as the elemental beasts. Currently we have 400 beast for gourmet products 350 of them are wild beast while 50 of them are yellow rank beast. As for the 4 blue ranker beast, the black tortoise made a nest at the southern part of the land while the silver snake is on the north. The red bird took the eastern lands and the white tiger rest at the western part of the land.” Reported by the old man. “as for the meat supply, we currently have 1500 kilos of wild beast meat and 450 kilos of the elemental beast meat.” He followed up. Alexander was. Satisfied with this result and retrieve the meats to sell and said his good bye to the old man and exit the secret land.

Upon exiting the secret land, he immediately took off to meet with Bob. “welcome back Mr. Alexander! It’s only been a week, do you have some more meat to sell?” Bob greeted Alexander. He nodded “how much more can you buy?” he asked. Bob was shocked momentarily and smile. “how much do you have right now Mr. Alexander.” Alexander smiled and took out 30 big cloth sack from his ring. “there’s a total of 1500 kilos of wild beast meat here. You can double check it.” When Bob saw this, his jaw dropped and cannot believe that Alexander was able to take out thus much of meat however, it does not end there. Alexander also took out 16 small cloth sacks. “There is also 400 kilos of elemental beast meat here. You can just give me the same price as before.” Alexander nonchalantly said and took a sip of his tea while Bob nearly faint at the sight of the meats. “Mr. Alexander no I mean good sir, it’s not that I don’t want to buy all of this meat. It’s just that I’m a bit in a pinch in terms of money right now as the sales from the kingdom hasn’t arrive.” Bob is profusely sweating explaining to Alexander his current predicament. “then how much you can buy for now?” Alexander asked. Bob ponder for a moment and retrieve the money on his desk. “for now, I can purchase all of the beast meat. For the elemental beast, we can only purchase 200 kilos. Here’s a total of 390 silvers.” As he put down the cloth pouch on the table.

Alexander pick it up and said “alright. The remaining 200 kilos, I will leave it to your care. Though, I will be back again in two weeks and I hope you can buy all of the meat that I will bring by then.” After saying it, he bid his goodbye. After Alexander left, Bob immediately called his trusted assistant. “immediately send thus meat to the kingdom and I don’t care how you do it but I need them to be sold within a week and another week to bring the sales here. Also inform all of our business partners to have their money ready as more meat will be coming in two weeks.” Bob hastily instructed his assistant.
