Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 66 You, the Monster, Stunned Me (Part 066)

Wang Lan had heard of such things in the past. Some monsters would stop passing caravans on the roadside to do business, and some would even pay to buy things.

But she had only heard of it, never encountered it. But she didn't expect that she would actually encounter this one day.

The Zhou Dynasty court actually had a very relaxed attitude towards monsters. After all, monsters were not a threat to the dynasty, so they were generally not deliberately hunted down.

Monsters without any skills cannot fight against human monks of the same level with their little magical powers, let alone the army. Moreover, monsters have poor social skills and poor organization.

Even though there are some demon cities in some deep mountains and old forests, that's it. Not only are there very few, but most of them are just ordinary county towns in human society. Some don't even reach the standard of county towns, and are at most considered large villages.

As for the occasional monsters robbing and killing passing caravans, to be honest, if you have time to deal with this, you might as well deal with the bandits who rob and occupy the mountains. After all, if the monsters kill the caravans, if you can communicate with them, you can really let them go at the cost of losing a batch of food.

The robbers are different. You can't drive them away with just a little food.

In some places, caravans would carry a lot of food with them in case they encountered monsters. Wang Lan would also carry it in the past, although she had never encountered one. But this time, she was unlucky. She had to make room in her ring, so she filled it up and had no room for food.

In addition, there haven't been any monsters on the line between Hedong County and Hexi County for almost a hundred years, so naturally no one thought they would encounter such a situation when they set out.

But now it's okay, just like a heavy object always hits your foot that time you didn't wear steel-toed work boots. Normally, nothing happens, but it happens to be hit that day when you didn't wear them.

"Do you want to do business?"

Looking at Wang Lan who opened his mouth for a long time but didn't say a word, Wang Wu put his hands on his hips and asked.

"Uh, I did it! I did it!!"

Hearing some dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, Wang Lan hurriedly replied that if she didn't answer now, she would have to get into the other party's stomach to answer later.

She must seize the chance to save her life that finally came and never let it go.

"I want to buy 10,000 catties. Forget it. I want to buy 5,000 catties of grain." Seeing that the other party agreed, Wang Wu said, "I want meat, not rice. I want pickled or dried meat that can be stored for a long time. I also want some freshly slaughtered beef, mutton and pork. I want 200 to 300 catties."

"That's all." Wang Wu started to pay. He had just discovered that his ring could be used even in his transformed state. But he was also very curious. He was not wearing anything in this state, so where did he put the ring?

But on second thought, he could change his rotten clothes back to normal after the transformation, so this kind of thing didn't seem to be a big deal.

A gold ingot appeared in Wang Wu's hand. It was not a small gold ingot weighing one or two taels, but a bright white gold ingot that was about the same weight as an ordinary gold ingot.

The value of this thing is two taels. Although it doesn't look like gold at all, Zhao Xingyue told him that it is gold and told him not to be stupid enough to use it as silver.

Wang Wu was very angry about this and felt that this woman was insulting his intelligence. Even if he didn't have much common sense in life here, he wouldn't be that stupid.

According to the purchasing power of 10 wen, it is equivalent to one yuan in my hometown. 3,000 wen is equivalent to one tael of silver, 1,000 wen is one string of money. 50 taels of silver is equivalent to one gold.

By this calculation, these two taels of gold would be worth thirty thousand yuan.

Thirty thousand yuan for five thousand kilograms of meat seemed a bit unrealistic, although Wang Wu could do it, after all, he didn't have to pay. If you report to the authorities that the goods were stolen by monsters in the mountains, the authorities will not do anything at all, and will only let you blame yourself for your bad luck. Unless your goods are really valuable and important to the court.

Space equipment is very expensive, one piece can easily cost several thousand gold. The positioning of this thing in this world is equivalent to a truck. There are cheap ones and expensive ones. The cheap trucks cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the expensive heavy trucks cost over one million yuan.

This thing can be loaded like a truck, and almost everyone who does business has one. Although you can use the monk's Qiankun sleeve, if the monk is not your own, then sometimes the ring may be a better choice.

Of course, a horse-drawn carriage is obviously a cheaper option. If you hire a few ordinary escorts, the cost of a trip is only a thousand yuan, and the bulk of the cost still goes to the escorts.

The carriage is not worth much at all. You can only make a few dozen or a hundred coins per kilometer, which is about 7 or 8 yuan. The profit will double on more dangerous sections of the road.

Not all goods need to be transported using space rings, there is no need for that.

Wang and Li Yuan both gave Wang Wu a ring, one with a larger space and one with a smaller space. According to the market price, the one given by Li Yuan was about six gold, and the one given by Wang was slightly more expensive, about twelve gold.

The Wang family was indeed a very kind family, and they kept their word, so Wang Wu had no intention of mistreating them.

"This is just a deposit, take it." Wang Wu said, then threw the platinum ingot in his hand to Wang Lan and looked at the people who had gathered behind her.

"Where are your carriages? Where are your goods?"

After taking a quick look, Wang Wu didn't see any scattered goods or carriages on the way they came. It couldn't be that they were all swallowed by the monster.

Speaking of monsters, Wang Wu took off immediately when he thought of this, walked to the monster's body, took out a magic pill from the skeleton and put it in the ring. Then he returned to Wang Lan.

"Why didn't I see your carriage?" Wang Wu asked? But before Wang Lan could answer, Wang Wu noticed the ring on the other party's finger, "Inside your ring? What goods are there now?"

"Um, this, this..." Wang Lan, who was holding the gold ingot given by Wang Wu in his hand, was asked the most fatal question in an instant and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, this was her first time dealing with a monster.

"As for food, that's certainly not a problem." However, Wang Lan was quick-witted, so he reacted quickly, with a warm smile like a businessman on his face, "But..."

"Are you transporting food?" Wang Wu interrupted without even thinking. Things that can be transported by a space ring are obviously not food. This thing can be pulled by a horse-drawn carriage.

It's not like he hasn't spied on the caravans on the roadside in the past few months. All the carriages were either carrying furs or large bags of food and dry goods. In this world, there were even cold-chain transport carriages that were used to transport fresh meat.

“No problem.” Wang Wu continued to interrupt Wang Lan, who was sweating profusely and preparing to say something else.

"That's why I gave you the deposit. Don't worry, I'm a very kind monster and I won't harm you. I can even escort you all the way to your destination. Of course, I won't get too close to you and the county town. I'm protecting you as well as myself."

"If you are willing to trust me, we can set off now. All you need to do is to return to the city and bring me some food, and I will pay the remaining payment."
