Chapter 285: Chapter 279, Blueprint of a Kiln for Pottery 1

Translator: 549690339

An overwhelming army of 800,000 undead left their territories in a grand display.

They headed towards Crescent Heights.

Fang Hao stood on the ramparts, watching the army gradually march away. For this war against Crescent Heights, he had handed over command to Demitrija.

As his territory grows stronger, there is less need for his constant involvement in battles.

Furthermore, the heroes understood combat and leadership better than he did. He remembers the time he first arrived.

He had to personally lead the troop to clear out the beast lair and drive off the wolf pack.

Now, he just needs to issue the mission and the heroes will arrange the manpower to complete it, he just needs to rest easy as a lord.

When he returned to the lord’s mansion, Eira had prepared breakfast.

As soon as he woke up, she helped to prepare various tools that needed to be taken along.

Having busied herself until now, hunger arose from her belly.

Breakfast was served.

And Eira specially made a seafood platter and placed it in front of Fang Hao. Using chopsticks, she picked up a piece of food that looked like an oyster, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in front of Fang Hao.

“Master, ahh-! Eat more, it’s good for your body,” Eira whispered.

With the existence of Fu Lei’s fishery, the dining table often contains fresh seafood for everyone.

And with the assistance of Fang Hao, the output of the fishery increased exponentially.

New varieties of seafood were even added.

Calling it seafood isn’t accurate, it should be lacustrine products.

Fang Hao took a bite and found the taste to be truly good.

Eira crammed the remaining pieces into Fang Hao’s mouth, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

When Anjia came down for breakfast and saw only the sauce remaining on the plate, she was indignant and questioned whether they had been secretly eating good food behind her back.

Fang Hao and Eira put on innocent faces, accusing her of overthinking.

They sat down to eat.

Ding!

The Book of Lords transmitted the sound of a private message.

He initially thought it was from a familiar person, but it turned out to be a stranger named Qiu Zhi Shang.

Well, the name sounded quite impressive.

Mr Fang Hao, I noticed you’re buying tiles, right?”

Upon reading the message, Fang Hao was slightly startled.

These past few days, due to the issues with the Blood Clan, he almost forgot about the tiles.

Although he hasn’t announced his intent to purchase tiles in the regional channel, he has mentioned his priority to exchange tile producing blueprints in various exchanges of information.

If there were special needs, they could also exchange privately. “Yes, if you have tile production blueprints, you can let me know what you need, and if I have them, we can exchange,” Fang Hao replied. After sending the message, his heart was filled with joy.

Finally, there was a lead for obtaining tiles, a necessary material for upgrading a level 8 Stone Tower.

“Mr Fang Hao, you misunderstood my words. I indeed have tile production blueprints, but I want to sell you completed tiles.” Qiu Zhi Shang said. Qiu Zhi Shang was indeed rather fortunate, he had recently welcomed a group of displaced persons to his village.

After accepting them, the displaced persons provided him with information about a pottery factory relic.

Having obtained two tile kiln blueprints after clearing the relic, he decided to sell one after collecting the other.

However, when he discovered the region’s number one player, Fang Hao, was purchasing tiles, he knew his opportunity to get rich had arrived.

He didn’t want to trade blueprints, but rather directly sell completed tiles. As a must-have material for main city upgrades, he knows they would sell. He plans to sell to Fang Hao first and then to other lords who reach the required level later.

As the only one with a production line, Qiu Zhi Shang will be able to earn a lot of resources and possibly become overnight rich.

If utilized well, surpassing Fang Hao wouldn’t be impossible.

“So how do you want to trade?” Fang Hao continued to ask.

“Well, Mr Fang Hao, one piece of white equipment for one tile, and five tiles for one piece of green equipment,” Qiu Zhi Shang stated.

Looking at the price quoted by the other party, Fang Hao was taken aback.

He was unsure if the man knew that upgrading from the lord’s level 7 Stone Tower to level 8 required 1200 tiles.

With his trading method, I would have to give him 1200 pieces of white equipment.

Even if Fang Hao has a hundredfold amplification, by the time he upgrades to levels 9 and 10 or even higher, wouldn’t that completely drain him?

This is more than just having a big mouth.

This is like swallowing the Milky Way.

“Mr Qiu, you’re quite the joker. Tile isn’t even worth much, certainly not this price.”

“But that’s not how it works in this world. The price of an item can only be defined by its scarcity, not its original value,” Qiu Zhi Shang continued.

Fang Hao thought for a moment and continued: “Exchanging a tile for a finished weapon wouldn’t be sustainable business.”

Even if Fang Hao was willing to buy it,

other people wouldn’t be able to afford it.

“Hehe, Mr. Fang Hao, you sell tens of thousands of pieces of equipment every day. This wouldn’t put you out of business, and to maintain the number one spot in your region, you naturally have to spend a little more.”

He was explicitly trying to rob Fang Hao because he knew he was rich.

“Can I confirm the information on your blueprint?”

“Of course, [Clay Oven Blueprint].”

After Qiu Zhi Shang sent this, a triumphant smirk crossed his lips.

The look on the other person’s face indicated that he was planning a large expenditure, placing a significant order.

However, when Fang Hao’s message came through, it left him taken aback.

“Mr Qiu, I need to think about it.”

“Huh? What’s there to think about…”.

Qiu Zhi Shang was still persuading him, but Fang Hao simply closed their chat.

Fang Hao understood Qiu Zhi Shang’s intentions. Most people would do the same.

But Qiu Zhi Shang’s actions were somewhat excessive.

Knowing that Fang Hao was selling a lot of equipment in the regional channel, he proactively hiked up the prices which was unacceptable to him.

You can fool me, but you can’t poke my nose and treat me like a fool.

After breakfast.

Fang Hao went directly to the Trade Alliance.

Doujin was at the counter writing something. Seeing Fang Hao walk in, he put down his work and said, “Lord.”

“Hmm, good morning Doujin,” Fang Hao sat down at the counter. “Give me a purchase order.”

“Of course, my Lord.”

Doujin said as he took an order form from below the counter.

“Write down [Clay Oven Construction Blueprint],” instructed Fang Hao.

Doujin nodded, picked up a goose feather pen by his side, and wrote the corresponding name on the order form.

The order needs the exact and accurate name.

After filling it in, the Trade Alliance would set the price based on your needs not an arbitrary price.

The Trade Alliance has its rules.

“My Lord, I’ve written it down. We still have one order form left, with the due date approaching,” Doujin continued.

Ehm, Doujm, do you know how to make a Fine Carved Stone Plate?” Fang Hao asked.    6

Doujin apologized: “I’m sorry, my Lord, but I don’t.”

“Uh, then write down Sound-transmitting Shell instead. See how many we can ask for the highest,” Fang Hao planned to write the Sound-transmitting Shell on the last order.

“My Lord, I suggest writing five. This number won’t cause too much of a delay.”

“Okay, write it down.”

After chatting with Doujin a bit more, Fang Hao left the Trade Alliance building.

He returned to the lord’s mansion.

A Tauren warrior arrived on a fast horse.

With muscular physique, a silver treasure chest strapped to his back with hemp rope.

“Lord, the Chieftain asked me to bringyou this treasure chest and also the maps collected from the tavern.”

The Tauren dismounted and put the treasure chest on the ground. He then pulled out two single-page maps from his thickly furred chest.

“Ah, you’ve worked hard. Sit down and rest fora while,” Fang Hao took the maps, placing them on a table nearby.

He would collect them when the sweat on them dried a bit.

A maid brought some fruit wine. The Tauren thanked her respectfully and drained the glass.

He opened the treasure chest.
