This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 63: There's Always A Bigger Fish

While Chu Guang was talking with the head of the Yu family, the players on the sidelines were also whispering.

"Do you understand what the administrator said just now?"

"No!"

"I can understand a little bit. Simply put, one kilogram of coarse salt is exchanged for ten skins?"

"This kilogram of coarse salt seems to be exchanged using three kilograms of dried meat!"

"Three kilograms of dried meat for ten skins? Seriously! Such a rip off! Ten skins can already be exchanged for two guns. He is simply scamming the natives!"

"Tsk! So short-sighted! By the way… How many silver coins are the coats and leather goods that the administrator sells to us?"

"...?"

"?!"

"What the heck??"

These players seemed to have found something really shocking, but Chu Guang didn't take it to heart.

'Is this important?'

'Obviously it is not important.'

'If I don't buy low and sell high, am I still an NPC?'

'Do they think they have transmigrated to another world?'

'If they don't like it, they are free to leave the game.'

Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family, was still there using his fingers to calculate; adding and subtracting within one hundred was still somewhat difficult for him.

A piece of hyena skin was exchanged for one hundred and fifty grams of coarse salt, and a hundred and fifty grams of salt costs three chips on Bett Street, which means... a hyena skin was exchanged for three chips?

'It was equivalent to one chip more than when selling it to old Charlie?'

'But the quality of this coarse salt was much better than what the old Charlie was selling…'

'And this was not mixed with sand!'

After finally figuring it out, Yu Hu turned his head to look at Chu Guang, and said nervously,

"How can we accept this? It will be your loss if you exchange it like this? Maybe one hundred grams, or just like the price this time."

Looking at the honest young man in front of him, Chu Guang suddenly didn't know how to react, so he looked at the sky, stretched out his hand, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'win-win'?"

"Win, win-win?"

This outsider always said something difficult to understand. Yu Hu finally figured out how much a piece of leather was, but he was confused by a phrase that he had never heard of once again.

He just felt like...

Brother Chu's expression looked very profound.

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded and continued, "you profited from it, and I also profited from it. We are in a win-win situation now."

Yu Hu looked at his father with joy.

"Father! Let's sell all the fur to Brother Chu in the future! Then we will win-win together!"

"You shut up." The head of the Yu family obviously thought more, but it was obviously not because of the price.

With his eyes fixed on Chu Guang, the old man mused on his concern.

"I understand what you mean, but the town mayor will not let us do business with the merchant outside. If we are discovered..."

It would be fine once or twice.

But in the long run, it would definitely be discovered.

After all, the slaughter and tanning were all done on Bett Street. If a fur was gone and was not sold to Charlie, it would eventually raise suspicion.

Upon hearing these words, Chu Guang smiled as if without care.

"Am I a merchant? Obviously not, my home is here! We are neighbors, and also friends. Is it a problem to visit a friend? Obviously not a problem."

"As for the old leech… ahem, I mean the town mayor of Bett Street, it’s okay if he prohibits you from contacting us. You don’t need to take anything out of your home, you just need to bring the prey you caught directly to me.”

“Our people can even help you skin them for free. Cut the meat in front of you, and make sure you don’t miss anything!”

“We will keep the skin at that time. You can take the meat and the salt back. Or you can sell the prey directly to me. Not only can you change it for salt here, but you can also exchange grains and smoked meat. It's definitely cheaper than selling them to old Charlie!"

After hearing Chu Guang's assurances, the old man's eyebrows finally smoothed out, and he whispered excitedly. "We can't accept this… we can't let you cut meat for us for free. According to Bett Street's rules, a butcher can have thirty percent of the prey’s meat, so we will also give this percentage to you!"

'Seriously?'

'Is it so profitable to open a slaughterhouse on Bett Street?'

'But then again, slaughtering is indeed a skilled job.'

Chu Guang sighed.

Sure enough, he was still too kind.

"There’s really no need for you to do this."

"Thirty percent is too much, let’s just settle it at twenty."

...

Chu Guang didn't want to spend too much time on discussing how to split the meat.

No matter what, he would profit from the exchange anyway.

Of course, for these scavengers on Bett Street, it was certainly not a loss to do business with him.

After all, he was different from those wandering merchants.

Those vampires were more ruthless than leeches, they would even chew your bones after sucking your blood dry. After all, it was still unknown whether they would still be alive tomorrow or not. So who cared about the long term business relationship?

As for him...

What he wanted was definitely not just a few pieces of skin and a few pieces of meat.

If done properly, Bett Street may change a town mayor soon.

At worst, when the two sides had accumulated enough trust, there should be a group of people who would choose to leave their homes and come to take refuge in his shelter.

He needed an opportunity.

The old and the young man thanked Chu Guang, finally accepted the kilogram of coarse salt, and prepared to leave.

However, at this time, Xiaoyu, who had been hiding behind Yu Hu, suddenly came out from behind her elder brother. She looked at Chu Guang with her big bright eyes and said suddenly.

"Are you coming back?"

'Going back?'

It had been only two weeks, but after Chu Guang heard this question, he suddenly felt like it had been a very long time.

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Xiaoyu continued,

"Second brother told me you were not taken away by the hyena, that you are still alive, and you will not go back in the future, but he can take me to see you. I want to know if you still need that shack?"

This child still didn’t know how to break the sentences down as if she wanted to tell him everything in just one sentence.

But Chu Guang understood what she meant, and was moved a little in his heart.

Originally in his plan, the shack on Bett Street was just a backup, but now that the shelter gradually began to expand, he didn’t think he would need that backup anymore.

"Have you been looking after it for me?"

"Mhm!"

Nodding her head quickly, Xiaoyu raised the tip of her nose triumphantly, no longer feeling as shy as she was earlier.

"I promised, so I will help you look after it, and I will never go back on my words. Second Brother said that dust has been piling up on your door frame, so you will definitely not come back. I’ve cleaned the dust for you."

"Although the son of the Wang family always wants to pry open your door secretly when I’m not paying attention, my ears are very sharp! He doesn't dare to hit me, Second Brother had beaten him before."

The more Chu Guang listened, the more guilty he felt in his heart.

Although he had never lied to people when he was doing sales, he was not above deceiving people from time to time, even taking advantage of people's greed. But when encountering such an upright, innocent and kind-hearted customer, he really didn’t have the heart to fool them.

'How to put it…'

Sigh!

Anyway...

Maybe this was why he, who was obviously as handsome as a movie star, couldn't become a top seller or hook up with a rich woman.
