Chapter 222: Chapter 140: Our Territory Lacks Everything

Glasgow Village.

Glasgow Village mainly focused on breeding. The territory was located on a vast, incomparable grassland, primarily dominated by farm economy. The entire territory was divided into various farms of different sizes, breeding different types of beasts. Some were for human consumption, others could perform work for humans, and some could even assist humans in battle.

On their first day in Glasgow Village, Cao Jingshan and his team were astounded by the array of Demon Beasts they encountered.

Especially since several people in the team had developed the Profession of Summoner, but had never successfully summoned a Demon Beast. After arriving in this territory, however, they saw hope.

Because they saw many residents of Glasgow Village accompanied by Demon Beasts, even some young cubs had them.

In a few days, several Summoners finally grasped the basics of their Profession, which was the biggest achievement of their trip.

For Cao Jingshan and the others, the gains were considerable as well.

The territory currently needed a lot of Beast Meat, which was cheap here, and they could make a good profit by reselling it.

Additionally, the different flavored and cost-effective goods they brought were also very popular.

Especially since the residents of Glasgow Village, who were used to only having single-flavored boiled or roasted meats, were instantly won over by the jerky.

In a very short time, all the jerky they brought was sold out, and other items like instant noodles were also gone.

Overall, Glasgow Village was extremely lavish in its consumption!

Of course, quite a few people were interested in their method of making jerky and approached Cao Jingshan to discuss buying the recipe. But Cao Jingshan, using the excuse of consignment sales and the influence of Hope Village, managed to smoothly talk his way out of it, and nobody openly troubled them.

But Cao Jingshan and his team remained very cautious.

After stuffing almost all they could into their backpacks’ compartments and the backpacks themselves, they were ready to leave.

After all, if they stayed longer, there was more they would want to buy, but they couldn’t fit anything more.

Of course, the most important thing was, Cao Jingshan was well aware that this trip was ostensibly for business, but in reality, it was for gathering information.

And during these days in Glasgow Village, they had already gathered enough information through the trade of goods.

Their understanding of this world was constantly being refreshed.

Beyond some worries about the unknown, what they felt more was anticipation.

This was a vibrant and colorful world of magic, a world they had never had the chance to encounter before, a world where they could create miracles through their efforts.

What they wanted most now was to quickly bring back the information they had gathered and then work even harder to develop their territory to better adapt to the growth of this world.

Of course, they hoped that their territory could develop even better based on this world, adopting its strengths and improving its shortcomings.

And Cao Jingshan had not expected that when he was ready to return to Hope Village, they would encounter suddenly hot weather. But after a brief consideration, Cao Jingshan still decided to continue the journey.

Their movements also drew the attention of other merchant teams within the territory.

After all, traveling in special weather always had its inconveniences, especially as the surrounding environment could change and unpredictable Demon Beasts could appear, which was extremely inconvenient for merchant teams.

Those who were merchants were naturally not afraid of danger and possessed a spirit of adventure.

But taking risks did not mean ignoring potential risks.

Therefore, Cao Jingshan’s decision to leave still surprised some merchant teams.

"Are you really planning to leave?" Morrison, the leader of one merchant team, couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, we have a scheduled time to go back," Cao Jingshan replied with a smile, quickly finding an excuse. The number of merchant teams that had come to Glasgow Village was indeed large, and his group was particularly noticeable. He was even worried about encountering dangers on the road!

The hot weather made the team too conspicuous.

At least for now, he hadn’t seen any merchant teams leaving.

At that moment, his departure significantly reduced the probability of encountering an ambush, which was also a benefit to him.

After all, in recent days, he had heard quite a lot about merchant teams being attacked near Glasgow Village.

He had taken extra precautions about this matter.

Their group, coming from a new territory and having sold their merchandise well, was indeed very conspicuous.

"The merchant team should have a certain degree of autonomy, right? It’s normal to be delayed by extraordinary weather. Your Lord will understand," Morrison said directly.

"No! There are several teams that have set out, and we cannot afford to hold back the territory. Moreover, if we return too late, I worry that the territory might worry and come out to search for us, wasting manpower. The territory has set a time precisely because it fears that something unexpected might happen on our first trip," Cao Jingshan continued to refuse as he shook his head.

Listening to Cao Jingshan’s words, Morrison’s gaze flickered for a moment. "Several teams, huh? Your territory seems to be quite strong?"

"We are far from Glasgow Village, just that there are a lot more novel things. However, many items are in short supply. Brother Morrison, if there’s a chance, you should visit our Hope Village. Although it doesn’t compare to the prosperity of Glasgow Village, we also have our unique characteristics," Cao Jingshan said as he noticed the change in Morrison’s expression and extended an invitation.

As for Morrison, he had no suspicions. He had investigated Morrison’s background; the man came from a farther small town and was quite strong himself. Glasgow Village was just one of his stops; he was simply bringing some Demon Beasts back with him.

A famed team like this wouldn’t possibly do anything to damage their reputation.

"This extreme heat gives my merchant team a reason to stay outdoors for a few more days. Do you mind if I accompany you?" Morrison pondered for a moment and then asked, seizing the opportunity.

"I don’t mind, of course, I don’t mind! With you all here, I feel much safer," Cao Jingshan responded without hesitation.

After all, Morrison’s team primarily consisted of Professionals above level 15, and Morrison himself was an intermediate mercenary (above level 20). With such strength, walking near a village-level territory couldn’t be safer.

Morrison listened to Cao Jingshan’s words, gave a light affirmation, and then quickly had the Professionals under his command start making arrangements.

Meanwhile, other merchant teams around them, with time to spare, suddenly became interested.

"Can I come along too?"

"Our territory’s route overlaps with yours by a small part, can we join you?"

"I’m quite interested in your territory."

"Traveling with a team will also be a lot safer."

"..."

Seeing the enthusiasm of these merchant teams, Cao Jingshan was somewhat surprised, as he hadn’t said much just now.

But understanding dawned on him as he observed Morrison.

It was probably because of Morrison that they dared to go.

At this moment, Morrison’s merchant team represented a signal.

Thinking this, Cao Jingshan felt reassured and said directly, "Yes, we can go back together. Having each other’s company on the road will help. We are a new territory, and the taxes on commercial activities are very low."

Their territory needed these merchant teams to arrive, after all, to bring that "popularity."

The more, the better.

Saying this, Cao Jingshan could not help but show a brilliant smile on his face.

Being able to attract so many merchants, his Contribution this time would certainly be substantial!

"What merchandise sells well in your territory?" Someone spoke up.

Since they were going, why not do some business on the side?

"In our territory, we lack everything!" Cao Jingshan said without hesitation.

Listening to this, everyone else had a clear idea. A newborn territory, a vast market.

Instantly, all merchant teams were ready to go.
