Chapter 200: Chapter 123: What Happened to the Idea of ’Humans Being Silly and Having Too Much Money’?

As the crowd gathered in front of him finished speaking, Zhou Bai met their eager eyes and said, "Before I buy anything, I plan to sell some surplus goods from our territory. Do any of you have a need for them?"

It was perfect; she was also looking to partner with merchants, and these people who were able to open shops in Bengala Town must have strong backing, right?

The many merchants pitching their wares fell silent.

They were interested in his money, and he was interested in their connections!

Although they didn’t hold much hope for the goods from Hope Village, for the sake of Zhou Bai, this invisible "tycoon," they could cooperate - provided, of course, that they needed what Zhou Bai had in hand.

"What do you have?" one of them finally asked.

"Just some simple basic supplies and equipment, suitable for ordinary residents," Zhou Bai replied after giving him a glance.

She was in charge of handling the goods of the territory. Although a batch had already been sold off within the territory, Hope Village couldn’t consume it all. Naturally, she took these goods out to exchange the outdated items for gold coins, getting back what Hope Village needed.

It wasn’t just her; several Soldier Team Captains, including her father, had surplus goods as well.

Hearing Zhou Bai’s words, several merchants immediately lost interest; they dealt in high-end merchandise, which meant Zhou Bai’s goods were of no use to them.

But one of them quickly spoke up, "I’ll take it!"

The merchant, Majeri, had the backing of a large trading company and catered to many territories. He had the resources to absorb these goods and could easily resell them.

"Shall we go to your shop to discuss in more detail?" Zhou Bai asked.

"Please, this way," Majeri replied with enthusiasm.

The others, seeing this, simply left.

They had done their advertising; now that the person of interest was not, they couldn’t cling too tightly—best to leave an impression in case he needed something later and remembered them.

In no time at all, Zhou Bai and his companions arrived at Majeri’s storefront.

Majeri’s shop was located within the core commercial area and was quite large. As soon as Zhou Bai entered, he was captivated.

Nothing else, the range of items here was just too comprehensive.

Noticing Zhou Bai’s gaze, Majeri smiled and then suggested, "Let’s see what you have!"

Upon hearing Majeri’s words, Zhou Bai promptly displayed samples of each item.

This included the wooden products that Zhou Bai had previously strongly recommended to Ellis.

As for the other basic supplies, Majeri was accustomed to such goods and quickly offered wholesale prices from his store, considerably higher than those in Hope Village. Zhou Bai, already having a rough idea of the prices in the territory, didn’t hesitate to agree.

The negotiation came down to the wooden goods from Hope Village at the very end.

"These items look good but are a bit too primitive; the natural wood color is not popular at all," Majeri said bluntly.

"These are very affordable, and we’re targeting ordinary people," Zhou Bai replied frankly.

"Affordable? How affordable?"

"Take this wooden bed for example, it’s the priciest item, and it only costs 20 silver coins. As for the others, the cheapest go for just 1 copper coin," Zhou Bai stated simply.

Majeri’s eyes flickered upon hearing this; the price indeed had potential.

The next moment, Majeri felt the wooden bunk bed beside him, casting magic to check it but detecting no magical fluctuation. Moreover, the joints between the pieces of wood had no visible trace, as if they were naturally formed, which was quite fascinating.

How were they able to fix everything without any auxiliary materials?

"These are handcrafted, and though they’re in their natural wood color now, we can add colors later," Zhou Bai promised without hesitation, which wasn’t wrong since Meng Chengzhou had already started to research various colored items to paint.

"In that case, I’ll give it a try!" Majeri said directly.

Although the quality didn’t seem exceptional, the items won with their affordability, and they had unique selling points. Sometimes selling a product is all about presenting it as a novelty.

Zhou Bai hadn’t expected an agreement so easily and was momentarily surprised; however, he quickly began to discuss the price.

In a short while, both parties left content.

Zhou Bai converted all the goods he brought into gold coins.

"Let’s round it up; all items for 82 gold coins," Majeri stated, looking somewhat surprised when paying.

The goods seemed cheap, yet the amount was still significant!

But once bought, Majeri considered the expense small change.

Watching Majeri’s casual demeanor, Zhou Bai casually asked, "If these sell well, will you send a merchant team to our territory to purchase more?"

"Of course," Majeri replied without hesitation.

He would certainly engage in a profitable business!

Zhou Bai felt reassured by his answer.

At that moment, Majeri, now looking at Zhou Bai with keen interest, said, "We have many fine items here; take a look. I can offer you the best prices."

Hearing this, Zhou Bai glanced around but ultimately shook his head, "I don’t need anything for now."

How could that be?

Majeri didn’t believe him.

These items were exquisite and in high demand!

How could a young girl like Zhou Bai not like them?

"Is there a problem?" Majeri couldn’t help but ask.

"No problem, it’s just that I find them a bit expensive and ornamental," Zhou Bai replied.

The prices in Bengala Town were outrageous compared to those in Hope Village.

Money should be spent where it’s most needed!

Majeri: "..."

—What happened to the fool with too much money?

He had plenty of money, but he wasn’t foolish at all!
