Could it be that these Mouse-men, who could disrupt the Beastmen’s peace single-handedly, were the same ones only fit to be cannon fodder in his memory? “It’s these, a bunch of mouse skins. Although the quality is somewhat lacking, the quantity is truly enormous.” Following Elder Lai Wu to the back, Zhao Guang was somewhat shocked upon seeing a warehouse full of mouse skins. “So many, how many Mouse-men were killed to get all these?” “There are simply too many Mouse-men, killing them is an endless task. This time because they had better weapons, which the Mouse-men weren’t accustomed to, that’s why so many were killed. If it were before, most of the bodies would be discarded.” “Discarded? What a waste. Wait, with so many Mouse-men, is there enough underground space for all of them?” “It should be enough. Whenever they overbreed, they come out to wreak havoc and thin their numbers. I’ve heard that sometimes, Mouse-men will even kill each other and then eat their dead kin as food. They call this a ‘Holy War’.” Holy War? Really? Since when did fratricide deserve such a noble name? But this reproductive capability is indeed a downside of the Mouse-men. Zhao Guang had now seen two species with extraordinary reproductive abilities. One was the pig, which, due to its good meat and absence of a threat, had become a species protected by Humans. As for the Mouse-men, they had become a sort of pest and it seemed the Beastmen wouldn’t consider eating them. “Then, with so many skins, how did they end up here?” Zhao Guang was puzzled since this was the front line. Logically, there shouldn’t be Mouse-men here, at least not in the area he was in. “They were sent from the rear; because the weapons were traded here, they are a sort of reward. We too are at a loss about what to do with these things,” said Lai Wu, helplessly spreading his hands. What could he say? That the Beastmen purposely sent them to test your attitude? If possible, use these as trade items. There are just too many of these things among the Beastmen, and even making them into clothes seems excessive. Besides, the Beastmen don’t like them either. However, on the Human side, they could actually use them all up. Because Humans don’t just use them to make clothes—some of the pelts could also be refined to extract certain substances. Zhao Guang looked at these mouse skins, at a loss for words; he couldn’t sell them off. Just like that, he couldn’t explain things to Earth, and here he didn’t even know other merchants. “Regarding this, I don’t have channels to sell a large amount of pelts yet, so let’s forget about it for now.” “I see, alright, I understand.” Lai Wu felt helpless. If he couldn’t sell to Zhao Guang, then he would have to sell to other merchants instead. Those damned merchants are not the same as Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang is their brother, their friend, who can offer them the most reasonable prices and the best goods, some even unobtainable elsewhere. Other merchants, though, would drive the prices down to the lowest. Even the things sold to them often turned out to be subpar. Previously, it wasn’t much of a concern, but compared with Zhao Guang, it was a completely different matter. Although the Beastmen themselves didn’t care about these mouse skins, once they thought about trading them, their mindset changed completely. Even if we don’t like them, they are still valuable; giving low prices would be worse than throwing them out. Both men had their thoughts as they slowly left the warehouse area. “By the way, there’s another matter—about that house you have, will the price be very expensive?” “What do you mean? The price isn’t very high. If you pay with gold, it’ll be about this much for one this size.” Zhao Guang gestured with his hands, but Lai Wu’s eyes lit up. “That’s great, we can accept this price. For that kind of house, I want to start with a hundred.” “Wait, you said you want prefab houses, and a hundred of them, are you sure?” Zhao Guang never expected the Beastmen would want to buy those, as they were originally intended for Humans. “I’m sure; we Beastmen also like big houses. If not for our lack of technological prowess, why would we be living in thatched huts?” Unexpectedly, the Beastmen placed great importance on houses. It seems some items do have a market among the Beastmen; it’s just a matter of finding the right approach. “Alright then, I actually have a batch ready, originally prepared to sell to the Humans. If you need them, then I’ll sell them to you,” he mused. It seemed there wouldn’t be any issues with selling these. Despite prefab houses appearing to be made of color steel, in reality, that’s not the case. For the Beastmen, Zhao Guang opted to use lacquered glass materials instead. No matter what, he at least needed to ensure that the Beastmen wouldn’t melt the color steel to forge weapons. If that happened, he would have a hard time explaining himself. Now it was different. Selling more glass houses wouldn’t cause much grumbling from the Humans. Speaking of which, had he not recently examined some prefab houses, Zhao Guang wouldn’t have known about these material characteristics. He had initially thought that all prefab houses were made of iron. “Then that’s settled. Let’s take them over now. I’m already fed up with this kind of house.” “Right now? Alright, I do have a batch, just twenty of them.” This was the batch he previously prepared for the Human shore. Now, out of consideration for Jeana, he decided to let them have it. It was perfect—he could use this chance to set an example for the Beastmen and observe the effects for future reference. With no choice, Zhao Guang had to run back and forth again, carrying out yet another round of transportation. But this time, after the transportation was finished, Zhao Guang couldn’t leave for a while because all the Beastmen had gathered around to watch the construction of the house. It turned out that Beastmen had such a strong fixation on houses. “That’s not right, the digging is all wrong, the house will collapse if it stays that way.” With no other choice, Zhao Guang had to instruct these Beastmen on how to dig foundations and build houses. Although the task was simple, not everyone knew how to install them, especially those burly Beastmen—truly exasperating. Fortunately, Zhao Guang didn’t have to command these guys. He just had to teach the smarter ones. For future house construction, he could have the smarter ones direct the Beastmen. Elder Lai Wu was learning practical construction techniques, while Aleya was working from the blueprints. Judging by Aleya’s interest in the blueprints, she seemed to consider making her own. As a result, digging pits went on until noon, but thankfully the drainage was finally up to standard.
