285: Chapter 285: Purchasing the Octagonal Soft Worm 285: Chapter 285: Purchasing the Octagonal Soft Worm The deal was struck, and after leaving behind a large number of art books, Zhao Guang went to pick out a batch of jade and amber, then headed straight back with the goods. With the Red Dragon’s Eye, he no longer needed these people to help him transport the merchandise. As for those tricycles, when the rest of the items arrived, he planned to load them all onto the tricycles and haul them away together. Having just left the area, Zhao Guang, laden with a great deal of stuff, rushed all the way to the Beastman camp. This time, he didn’t need anyone to help, so as to avoid having a large group of people always surrounding him. Even Zhao Guang himself wasn’t sure if he had been spotted by anyone. But as he approached the gate of the Beastman camp, he hesitated. Explosions happened here frequently, making it quite dangerous. The decision to get closer really did require some courage. It wasn’t long before Kapas hurried over: “Haha, Brother Zhao Guang, you’re here! Why didn’t you come inside?” Zhao Guang quickly waved his hand and said, “Hold on, there won’t be any explosions inside here, will there?” Although he was somewhat offbeat, certain things indeed couldn’t be withstood. “How could that be? Our last explosion was two days ago. We’ve researched the optimal timing for explosions, which is roughly every five days. And that’s after adding a catalyst. Naturally placed, half a month for one explosion is best.” Well, you guys are really enthusiasts, even figuring out a pattern for this. However, thinking of the things they were researching, Zhao Guang was somewhat speechless. Wouldn’t it be better to direct this effort into something else? “Let’s go, I’m here to see Aleya and Elder Lai Wu.” Kapas didn’t hesitate and led Zhao Guang away, but when the two of them saw him, they looked puzzled. “Lord Zhao Guang, you didn’t bring anything with you this time?” Every time, Zhao Guang brought many goods, and recently he always notified them in advance to come and transport the items. Why did he come by himself this time? “I brought them, my Space Ring has been upgraded, it can hold quite a lot.” No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Guang wished he could cover his own mouth. They had even considered adding a disguise for him, and he had gone and forgotten about it. “You guys have to keep this a secret for me; otherwise, there will be trouble.” “Don’t worry, we definitely won’t leak it.” The two exchanged glances and nodded earnestly. Zhao Guang was reassured. A Beastman’s verbal promise sometimes proved more reliable than a human’s written contract. As he spoke, Zhao Guang walked out and then laid out the goods in an open space outside. Seeing these items, the surrounding Beastmen cheered; there was so much this time that they could skim a lot off the top. But Aleya frowned because, surprisingly, this time it was all food. “By the way, there’s another thing. I want to know if you sell the Eight-cornered Soft Worms.” Zhao Guang pointed at Kapas’s forehead. Since he had shaved his head bald, a drawing of an Eight-cornered Soft Worm had been tattooed there. So much time had passed, and the designs in other places had changed multiple times, but that one remained. Because of this tattoo-like drawing, Zhao Guang had looked into the Eight-cornered Soft Worms. He later found out that this creature seemed to be unique to the Beastmen, it was not to say nonexistent elsewhere, but very rare. “What do you want the Eight-cornered Soft Worms for?” Aleya’s pupils narrowed, for the Eight-cornered Soft Worms were more important to the Beastmen than Holy Water. They had never sold a single Eight-cornered Soft Worm to outsiders. Zhao Guang, oblivious to these facts, was forthcoming: “I just got a new Battle Skill, and I’m preparing to make it my Lifebound Battle Skill. I need a creature with strong vitality and fast recovery abilities as material.” Such creatures were in fact quite rare, and they were usually formidable ones. Had he not suddenly remembered the Eight-cornered Soft Worms, Zhao Guang might have postponed working on that Battle Skill. Hearing his plans, Aleya nodded slightly, confirming that Zhao Guang was telling the truth. Elder Lai Wu also relaxed somewhat. Although they trusted Zhao Guang very much, they couldn’t let down their guard on such matters. “Do you know what the Eight-cornered Soft Worms are used for?” Zhao Guang shook his head; he really didn’t know about that. Aleya lowered her voice: “The Eight-cornered Soft Worms are very important to us Beastmen, and the Bimon Giant Beast is our strongest weapon. But their reproduction capability is very low, so we use the Eight-cornered Soft Worms to make Potions to enhance this ability.” “That kind of Potion? There are no side effects, right?” Zhao Guang’s eyes lit up at the mention. Aleya was taken aback. Do men always think in that direction? “Humans can’t withstand the potency of that Potion. Some Potions we make from the Eight-cornered Soft Worms’ secretions are actually quite popular among humans.” They couldn’t sell the Eight-cornered Soft Worms themselves, but the Potions made from their materials sold quite well. Zhao Guang rolled his eyes. You’re doing business like that, yet still pretending to be pure? “So, how can I buy them from you?” Aleya waved her hand: “Our demand for the Eight-cornered Soft Worms is very high. To make Potions for the Bimon, we need a whole one at a time. The problem is that although the Eight-cornered Soft Worms recover quickly, their own reproduction rate is very slow, so we never have enough.” That was troublesome. With such a direct conflict, there wasn’t much Zhao Guang could do. But suddenly, an idea struck Zhao Guang: “Wait, what if I could find a substitute?” “If there’s a suitable replacement, indeed we could consider it. However, we’ve scoured the whole world and haven’t found many alternatives. The Eight-cornered Soft Worm is one of the most cost-effective we’ve found.” It wasn’t that they couldn’t find better alternatives; it was just that the costs were too high to be justifiable. They might not have an alternative, but that didn’t mean he didn’t. On Earth, the demand for this type of Potion was very high. If it really could work as a substitute, then it would be perfect. If not, Zhao Guang would have no choice but to give up, and the Battle Skill would be postponed. Thinking of the Undead Soldiers, Zhao Guang grew impatient. “Hold on, I have substitutes. Just wait for a moment.” “Hey, wait...” Zhao Guang acted swiftly, leaving the two of them exchanging helpless glances. He had just delivered goods, and they hadn’t even settled the account with Zhao Guang before he rushed off again. Now the two were certain that Zhao Guang genuinely needed the Eight-cornered Soft Worms. Hurrying back home, upon seeing Ye Zhi, Zhao Guang immediately said, “Ye Zhi, I need to buy Blue Little Pills.” “Go to hell, daring to make such an insinuation toward your sister.” Ye Zhi’s face flushed red. Couldn’t this guy be a bit more subtle? No, wait, they weren’t related at all; how could he say such things to her, a girl? Realizing his blunder, Zhao Guang quickly corrected himself: “I need a lot of Blue Little Pills, start with two tons.” “You mean two tons? Not two meals, right? Let me warn you, those things don’t have qualifications for sale domestically.” She thought Zhao Guang was considering a new business venture.
