Chapter 323 - 323 323 Everyone is watching

323: Chapter 323: Everyone is watching 323: Chapter 323: Everyone is watching So the name was settled, and Liu Jiayin hung up the phone immediately.

Because he had to organize a team overnight and then rush over, the matter at hand was just too important.

It was not only related to various national affairs but also meant a lot for the development and stability of his own breeding farm.

As long as he did well this time, many things would naturally fall into place.

Zhao Guang didn’t care about those issues and ignored Ye Zhi’s workload, making excuses to slip away.

Before daybreak the next day, Zhao Guang got up and went outside the city of Olivera.

To the north, there was a huge depression, and it was unclear whether it was man-made or natural.

This depression was the main breeding ground for the Imperial City’s Five-Striped Pigs.

Upon arrival, Zhao Guang discovered that this place was not the intensive breeding farm he had imagined.

It was similar to the military camp from before, only with some fences built on top, and that was it.

A large number of Five-Striped Pigs were breeding inside, relying on a type of grey grass that grew there.

This grey grass was a species unique to the area, growing very fast, and if left unchecked, it could easily overrun the place.

This grass and the Five-Striped Pigs were exceptionally compatible.

Unfortunately, Zhao Guang had once tested and found that this plant could not grow on Earth; it seemed to be a type of Magic Creature.

Dependent on the magic environment, its growth rate was incredibly fast, and that was perhaps the only ability this weed had.

Even so, the eating speed of the Five-Striped Pigs was much faster than the grass’s growth, so every once in a while, a batch of pigs had to be culled.

That was when it was time for the price of Five-Striped Pigs to drop.

“Hello, this is our Five-Striped Pig breeding farm.

How many do you need?”

Without even thinking, Zhao Guang immediately said, “I need about a hundred thousand, both half-grown and young ones.”

He had wanted to say he would take them all, but considering that so many people in the Imperial City relied on these pigs for meat, he probably couldn’t buy so many.

Even if it were possible, it wouldn’t be best.

Otherwise, causing a disturbance in the Imperial City’s pork market might lead to trouble.

After all, the lower class’s meat consumption relied heavily on the Five-Striped Pigs.

Indeed, no matter what it is, when there’s an abundance, it loses its value, no matter how delicious it may be.

Zhao Guang also noticed that on the dining tables of the nobles in the Imperial City, one would never see the presence of Five-Striped Pigs.

In the eyes of the nobles, the Five-Striped Pig was considered cheap meat, not fit for their tables.

Even among commoners, unless they really had no money, most would not buy the meat of Five-Striped Pigs to eat.

In the Imperial City, the prices of grains and vegetables were much higher than that of Five-Striped Pig meat.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guang, who came from Earth, was quite unaccustomed to this.

When did meat become so much cheaper than vegetables and grains?

Recently, grains were on the rise in price because, after the harvest festival, everyone needed to prepare for winter.

Meat, during the winter here, could only be turned into jerky and the like.

In the winter, the reproduction capability of the Five-Striped Pigs would drop to the lowest, possibly due to the temperature.

During this time, not only would the price of the meat not rise, there was, in fact, no market.

It was likely that this was the largest batch of transactions before winter set in, no wonder the person in charge was so attentive.

Speaking of which, nobles buying Five-Striped Pigs was quite an unusual affair.

In other places, that might not be anything special, but in the Imperial City, it might turn into news spreading by the next day.

Zhao Guang was completely indifferent; he just waited here for the person in charge to prepare the five pigs for him.

“Who is in charge here?” he asked.

“Ah, sir, are you asking about our person in charge?

Our operations are managed by the court nobles, each one holding shares.

However, those bigshots almost never come here; it’s usually managed in turns by the various merchant teams.”

So that was it; matters concerning the livelihood of the people really can’t be taken lightly.

Even if those nobles look down on it, they still keep it firmly in their hands.

But Zhao Guang’s eyes lit up; there seemed to be quite a bit of profit to be made here.

It’s either that those nobles were completely blind to it, or they were too arrogant, or that the merchant teams were reaping too much from it.

A noble, when taken individually, might not be foolish, but as a class, that might not be the case.

Remember this, he thought, and make the necessary preparations when managing the territory later on.

It didn’t take long before the hundred thousand piglets he requested were ready.

“Do you need us to deliver these somewhere for you?” they asked.

“No need to go through such trouble; just leave them here.

Also, this is just the first batch; I may need even more later on.”

A wave of joy washed over the other party’s heart; it looked like they would have a very good winter.

Zhao Guang did not care if the other party could see or not; he simply laid out the Space Gate neatly and began herding the five pigs.

The temporary breeding ground on the other side had been expanded a bit earlier, so it could accommodate this many pigs.

Otherwise, Zhao Guang really wouldn’t have any way to handle these pigs.

“What a pity.

If I made a breakthrough, the Space Gate could be bigger and the transportation efficiency would be higher,” he mused, looking at the flat Space Gate.

His Magic Power was nearly at its limit; it would be just a couple more days.

Next, it would depend on his research on his Lifebound Magic.

He had overcome a bottleneck a couple of days before, and the pace of his research had been advancing rapidly since.

Perhaps it would only be a matter of a few more days.

“Alright, I’ll be going now, continue with your work,” he said.

Zhao Guang waved his hand and walked to a safe area, quickly passing through the Space Gate to the other side.

As soon as he arrived, Zhao Guang was surrounded by a group of pigs; who would expect the Space Gate to open right in the middle of the breeding ground?

“Damn, this stench.

Whatever, the task at hand is more important.” Zhao Guang quickly released his Mage’s Hand, slapping and hitting the pigs to make them release their Magic Power as quickly as possible.

The commotion here quickly drew the attention of many people.

There were quite a few people eyeing the pigs already, and upon hearing the noise, someone immediately crept closer.

“Wait, what is that?

Looks like pigs, but why so many?”

“You’ve been watching them, where did these pigs come from?”

“I have no idea, they didn’t come down this road, that’s for sure.”

“Impossible, so many live pigs coming can’t be without any noise.” Thinking of the last time Zhao Guang herded a large number of pigs passing through, that scene was quite a sight.

It had become an urban legend, still circulating among the people.
