Chapter 18 On the Golden Trade Route
"Woo woo!" Xiaobai saw the person coming clearly, and quickly jumped out of bed and shouted at Reggie with his eyebrows and eyes. He was extremely disgusted with this slutty young man who often seduced Chu Tian to learn bad things!
"Damn! You are finally willing to come! I thought you were dead!" Seeing Reggie coming, Chu Tian jumped out of the bed, quickly picked up Xiaobai awkwardly, covered his mouth and greeted him.
"You... your body?" Seeing Chu Tian's agile skills and the blood-filled bandage on his body, Reggie was surprised, widened her eyes, pointed at Chu Tian with a cracked mouth and couldn't speak.
"Hehe!" Chu Tian smiled treacherously, turned around and lifted the mattress, pointed to the thick gift list inside, and said with a smile: "Praise the goddess of life! My injury has to be treated for a long time!" After that, he proudly pulled the bandage with red dye on his body.
Reggie hurriedly leaned over and looked through the bandage carefully, glanced at the gift list under the mattress, and sighed: "Tsk tsk, the boss is the boss! He didn't even forget to make money even when healing his injuries!"
He picked up a gift list and looked at it. Reggie said with a sad face again: "So many, if this continues, the position of Caesar, the richest man in our Pampas family, may be replaced by you, the boss!"
Before Reggie finished complaining, "Woooo!" Xiaobai suddenly broke out from Chu Tian's arms, jumped to the ground to accumulate strength, then jumped high again, and rushed towards Reggie fiercely. When Reggie and Chu Tian were not aware of it, Xiaobai snatched the gift list from Reggie in one bite, bit it tightly, and then turned around and ran back to the bed, sitting on the pile of gift lists, staring at Reggie hostilely.
"This..." Reggie was stunned, but Chu Tian smiled: What a novice! I am worthy of my love for you so much! I know to keep the money for the boss at a critical moment!
He picked up Xiaobai with a smile and patted it with appreciation. Then Chu Tian immediately spread the mattress and sat on it. He criticized Xiaobai with an exaggerated expression: "How can you do this? Young Master Reggie's family is so rich that he will not steal these things from us. Maybe these things together are not as good as the gifts he brought!" After saying that, Chu Tian quickly blinked at Reggie, hinting at the young master of Caesar: It's time to "express" it.
Reggie looked at the man and dog in front of her in pain. Although she looked different, she smiled so treacherously and greedy, as if she was carved from a mold.
"There is a master, there is a dog!" Reggie murmured in a low voice, but unexpectedly, Chu Tian heard it.
"What did you say? We brothers have been so long. Do you dare to visit the injured boss empty-handed?!" Chu Tian was angry. Xiaobai in his arms also stretched out a front paw, pointed to the ground, and looked at Reggie in contempt.
"Hehe! Why don't I dare to come empty-handed!" Reggie shrugged and stretched out her empty hands to Chu Tian.
Seeing that Reggie had nothing in her hand, as if the mattress was on fire, Chu Tian immediately jumped up and pointed at Reggie and was about to scold her.
Seeing that Chu Tian was showing signs of being ruthless, Reggie hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and looked down at Chu Tian's ear, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "But I have prepared a 'thick' gift for the boss!" The word 'thick' was specially aggravated by Reggie, which caused the golden light to burst into Chu Tian and Xiaobai's eyes. The gift that could make Caesar's richest heir say the word 'thick' would probably not be too light, right?
"Oh? What gift? Tell me and take a look!" Chu Tian sat down again and asked calmly, but the flashing eyes of the little white gold coins betrayed him.
"Hehe!" Seeing that Chu Tian had taken the bait, Reggie was not in a hurry, and sat next to Chu Tian and said slowly: "You know what our family does, right?"
"Of course I know, Caesar's richest man! One of the richest families in the continent!" Chu Tian knew that it was useless to be anxious at this time, so he narrowed his eyes and slowly started chatting with Reggie.
"Do you know why our family became Caesar's richest man?"
"Isn't it because I control most of Caesar's industries?" Chu Tian's interest was finally aroused. Is there any secret channel for the Pampas family to make money?
Reggie turned around and observed the surroundings, making sure no one eavesdropped, and then whispered in Chu Tian's ear: "In fact, our family's biggest source of profit is the smuggling main war monsters and Marilyn!"
"The main battle with the monster and Marilyn!" Chu Tian was really shocked this time.
Just like Caesar's third-level unicorn war horse, all countries on the mainland also have their own main war monsters. This is similar to the earth - in addition to large-scale human army, powerful countries also have advanced military equipment! The technology on the Phantom Beast continent lags behind the earth for thousands of years, but the main war monsters are no less than the advanced weapons and equipment on the earth! Although there are fewer high-level monsters in various countries, the army is equipped with a large number of medium-level monsters. Therefore, a huge demand for medium-level monsters has emerged!
There are several mercenary groups and chambers of commerce on the mainland who make money by reselling monsters. However, since monsters are military-controlled materials, it is difficult to obtain a license for the trading of monsters. Currently, there are only three terracotta corps and chambers of commerce on the mainland that have a license for trading of monsters on the mainland.
Marilyn is heroin from the Phantom Beast Continent! No one knows its specific origin. But some old people have heard it vaguely. Marilyn seems to be a failed work of an alchemist. At that time, the alchemist extracted Marilyn from the black Marilyn, but sadly discovered that these black powder Marilyns had no other effect than illusion. Inadvertently, Marilyn's matching was spread by the alchemist and became a luxury for the nobles.
However, with the advent of the era of Warcraft, all countries have devoted their energy to developing Warcraft. The powerful strength of Warcraft not only makes the country flock to it, but the strong people on the mainland also use the possession of high-level monsters as their strength standard. This directly led to the overall decline in the strength of the mainland's strong people, and the number of high-level professionals has been continuously reduced. Alchemists who have no effect on the battlefield gradually withdrew from the mainland's stage because they have no strength to subdue high-level monsters.
A small number of alchemists were unwilling to decline and turned their attention to the dark side. So, another sinister and mysterious profession, the Dark Alchemist, was born. They developed a large number of viruses targeting monsters in a short period of time. For a time, countless monsters were killed by viruses, which caused panic among countries on the mainland and began to hunt and kill dark alchemists frantically. In the end, this profession only existed for a short period of ten years and became history!
A large number of viruses targeting monsters disappeared, but Marilyn, who was improved by the Dark Alchemist, was left behind and was added with slow toxicity! After hundreds of years of circulating, Marilyn's processing technology has been greatly improved, but its nature has also become a drug! It has become a target that is explicitly prohibited by various countries!
Fortunately, although Marilyn is very harmful, it is extremely difficult to plant Marilyn. Nowadays, only the Kingdom of Scott, which has been drought all year round, can be planted on the mainland. Although the Kingdom of Scott is profitable, it does not dare to blatantly sell mainland forbidden products! This indirectly leads to the expensive price of Marilyn and the profits will naturally be generous.
"Tell me the secrets of your family, aren't you afraid that your father will know?" Although Chu Tian and Reggie have a good relationship, it wouldn't be that Reggie will leak the secrets of the family. "Also, aren't you afraid that I will tell Your Majesty?"
Reggie smiled and said proudly: "Tell Your Majesty? I'm really afraid that you will tell Your Majesty!" Then, his tone changed, and in the voice that Chu Tian could hear clearly just now, Reggie said seriously: "Actually, Your Majesty is also the major shareholder of our family!"
Chu Tian and Xiaobai were stupid together. The emperor also smuggled arms and drugs!? This news was really shocking! Chu Tian didn't know what to say for a moment...
"Our family controls five smuggled gold trade routes, two of which are the most profitable, one is to smuggle the monsters through the dust swamp between the Hanging River Prairie and Caesar, and the other is to smuggle Marilyn through the Mist Lake between Scott and Caesar!"
"The dust and sludge swamps are everywhere, and the fog lake is covered with smoke all year round. Even high-level professionals cannot pass through these two places safely. How did your family transport goods?" After living in the Phantom Beast Continent for more than half a year, Chu Tian has no idea about the geography of the mainland, but he has a rough understanding of some.
