Before long, Zhao Guang caught sight of a Wild Boar Man. The patrols of the Beastmen were still so crude, just aimlessly wandering around, absolutely lacking any finesse. The Jackal Wolfmen were not too bad, though, being naturally skilled in hiding and observation. “Ah, Brother Zhao Guang! Our boss talks about you every day, come quick, let’s go see our boss,” said the Wild Boar Man, eager to come over and pull Zhao Guang along. If an ordinary person saw this, they’d probably be scared to death. That gaping mouth, no matter how you looked at it, did not seem to be smiling, even Zhao Guang felt this fellow looked ferocious. Indeed, when talking about pigs, those with five stripes appeared more pleasing to the eye. “Wait, hold on, I’m here on business today. I’ve prepared the goods and was about to bring them over. However, there are humans patrolling over there, I need you guys to go drive them away.” “What, those useless things again, don’t worry, I’ll go call some people right now.” With that, the Wild Boar Man stopped his patrol, turning on his heels to run back. “They’re such an easy bunch to sway. If I ever decide to take advantage of them one day, these guys might even count the money for me afterwards. Truly good brothers, I’ve taken a liking to you,” Zhao Guang nodded solemnly, talking to himself, before he turned and ran back. It didn’t take long for Kapas to arrive with his people. “Brother Zhao Guang, are you there?” With a headache, Zhao Guang thought it was fortunate that few humans understood Beastman language. Otherwise, if someone heard this, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself clear enough. “I’m here, I’m here, I’ve been waiting so hard...” Zhao Guang emerged from behind a rock. But as he came out, Zhao Guang was immediately speechless: “Kapas, what happened to you, are you ill, why have you gone bald?” Indeed, Kapas’s thick golden fur was gone, replaced by a scalp tinged with a faint pink color. On this scalp, however, was a strangely drawn thing. It looked somewhat like a spider, but upon closer inspection, it seemed more like some sort of plant. “I’m fine, you mean this? This is the latest fad, the Octopus Squid Tattoo. It took me ages to find someone to do it.” Alright then, you’re all artists, I’ll let it be. “Wait here, I’ll go get the stuff.” Zhao Guang didn’t fuss over it, promptly running to the other side to fetch the goods. There were knuckle dusters and candles, this time packed inside boxes. Because of the boxes, the transportation was faster, as it was so convenient. By the time Zhao Guang finished moving everything, the knuckle dusters and candles had mostly been taken away. Of course, the hot chili oil and seasonings were not so easily moved. The boxes, for the Beastmen, were too small, and they couldn’t carry much before leaving. I really don’t get it, why the Beastmen don’t just make large flatbed carts for transport. This problem had been puzzling Zhao Guang for a while, and this time he couldn’t help but ask. “A flatbed cart? Yeah, why don’t we use flatbed carts? It would make things so much easier. Brother Zhao Guang, you are really clever,” Kapas said, slapping his own big head as the patterns in his hands kept changing. Alright, Zhao Guang understood now. It wasn’t for any special reason; they just hadn’t thought of it. Zhao Guang was somewhat speechless. It was one thing for other beastmen, but had Lai Wu and Aleya, who were such smart individuals, not thought of it either? He remembered that when they delivered axes in the past, they used flatbed carts to transport them to the back. How come on this stretch of the journey, they had to resort to manual labor? Beastmen sometimes were truly incomprehensible. “Forget it, just remember to do it yourselves next time.” Soon, the group arrived at the beastmen’s camp. Lai Wu and Aleya were busy tallying those things. There were also beastmen beside them, practicing moves vigorously with fist spikes on the spot. Although it looked somewhat awkward, they were still able to demonstrate the full power of the fist spikes. “Here, try this. This might work better,” Zhao Guang said, producing a lantern. “What is this?” The surrounding people looked curiously at this odd-looking transparent item. Being completely transparent, such a see-through thing must be quite valuable, right? Could it be some kind of gemstone? “This is a lantern. You can burn a candle inside it, and it effectively protects against wind and rain. No matter how much it shakes, it won’t go out. If you carry this with you, it will be much more convenient when you fight underground in the future.” “There’s actually such a thing? But this gemstone, isn’t it costly? I’m afraid we can’t purchase it in large quantities,” said Aleya. Hearing Aleya’s words, Zhao Guang realized that this world might not have anything like glass. “It’s not expensive. This item is man-made and not a real gemstone.” Although tempted to make a bit more money, he decided against it after some thought, considering that glassware was indeed very abundant and widely used. If he treated glass as gemstone, many items in the future wouldn’t be able to be sold in large quantities. However, the price that should be increased still needed to be hiked. Since they didn’t have it, Zhao Guang internally raised the original price by ten times. If Aleya knew that a single comment of hers had caused such a steep price rise, she probably would have had the urge to strangle Zhao Guang. “That’s great, that’s great. We were actually quite worried. When entering the underground in the past, we always needed someone to hold a torch or a candle, and it would easily ignite our own fur if we weren’t careful,” Lai Wu was also very pleased with the performance of the lantern. This was a lantern specially modified by Zhao Guang. The original lantern was supposed to burn oil. Zhao Guang glanced at those with thick fur. It seemed that having too much fur wasn’t always a good thing. Addressing the urgent needs of others, he really was a good businessman, Zhao Guang self-indulgently thought. “Lord Aleya, these weapons are really useful. Although it feels awkward to use them, they definitely perform the best in the underground caves, much more so than the Great Axe,” Beastmen were very sensitive to things related to combat and quickly grasped the way to use the fist spikes. They were very satisfied with these fist spikes, especially the quality, as it was difficult for beastmen to forge steel of such caliber. The weapons they usually preferred didn’t perform as well as these. Although in their eyes the great axe was the best, these fist spikes were a close second, and they could hardly bear to put them down.
