With some time to spare, Gale opened the [World Chat].
The scarlet words at the top had disappeared, replaced by another announcement.
The general meaning was that the monsters’ strength had returned to normal. Most importantly, the battle units were not suppressed by the Blood Moon.
[Wu wu wu, I’m so touched. I’ve finally eaten a mouthful of hot food!]
[After going hungry for a day, I’m finally eating some delicious beef!]
[As expected of our goddess, the food sold is indeed cheaper than Big Boss Gale’s!]
[Everyone, follow me in boycotting Gale’s food!]
[Agreed!}
[Boycott profiteers, boycott Gale! Support Rowling, support our goddess!]
More and more Castle Lords began to go against Gale.
Upon seeing this, even a fool could tell what was going on.
This was clearly the sound of someone fighting for a share of voice. It was this woman named Rowling!
Gale ignored the remarks that denigrated him, neither did he find it necessary to take note.
What he didn’t expect was that there would be people selling food so quickly.
It was much faster than he had expected.
Originally, Gale planned to continue reaping the huge profits from selling food for a few days to upgrade the castle.
Who would have thought that midway would appear a wild Rowling.
She had messed up Gale’s plan.
He opened the [Trading Channel].
The number of goods sold had now increased.
As more and more castle lords summoned their new battle units, they now had the capital to fight against the lower tiered monsters.
Among them, there were two people who had the most stock.
One belonged to Gale, the other to Rowling.
This morning, Rowling, who was known as the “Goddess”, uploaded 500 units of food.
All of them were beef.
Most importantly, the price she was selling was at half of Gale’s!
Just as [World Chat] said, this price, when compared to Gale, was practically like selling it out of goodwill.
The prices of the other Castle Lords were much lower than Gale’s.
In a few seconds, the stocks of these people were all sold out!
As for Gale’s goods, only a few people continued to buy them. It was a tragic sight!
“I guess I can’t be so careless anymore.”
“A billion Castle Lords, how could no one be able to develop themselves?”
Gale admitted that at the beginning, he had been a little arrogant.
However, after this incident, he swore to never make such a mistake again.
Since the other party was selling it cheaper than him, it was naturally out of his control.
Gale was mainly worried about the development of the castle.
The materials he needed to upgrade the castle were all obtained through his sale of meat.
As for the title of ‘profiteer’, it was nothing.
When you have the strength, everyone will automatically abandon this memory.
They would even smile at you.
At that moment, Gale noticed that there was a flashing red dot on his [Friend] section and clicked on it.
“So many people?”
Gale looked at the virtual panel in front of him. It was filled with people who wanted to add him as a friend.
Among them, the person who had sent him a friend request was his ‘competitor’ Rowling!
Gale rejected them all without thinking.
He did not want to negotiate with others, especially during the early stages.
Every Castle Lord had yet to develop, thus socializing now was a waste of time.
Could it be that they added each other as friends to say goodnights every day?
Gale was sure that besides Rowling, everyone else who added him as a friend was here to beg for food.
…
Time gradually passed.
With the addition of Elena, the hunting speed of the monsters gradually increased.
As Elena and Cicely started to develop a tacit understanding while working, the relationship between the two of them subtly changed.
While Cicely focused on taking the initiative and attacking, Elena would cast Elemental Magic to support the former and increase her damage.
These low tiered monsters were not their match at all.
The monsters they were hunting now were all within the castle’s territory.
This was an order that Gale had given them. If they were to hunt monsters, it would naturally be from the inside out.
As his sphere of influence continued to expand, the number of monsters Gale had to clear would increase.
Moreover, the tier of monsters would gradually increase.
In the courtyard.
The number of monster corpses slowly piled up.
After accumulating to a certain amount, Gale waved his hand and disintegrated them all!
In less than half a day, the number of monsters they had killed was almost equal to yesterday’s total amount.
“I guess it won’t be long before I’m free to move around the castle’s sphere of influence.”
Gale’s current strength was only at Tier 1, and he could not go out to do any leisure strolling yet.
Fortunately, there were two strong soldiers protecting him.
As long as he cleared out the monsters in his territory, Gale could go out and take a look.
He continued to do the work that he repeated every day.
Disintegrating the corpses of monsters and putting food up to trade.
As for the price….
It was the same price as yesterday.
Since most people said that he was a ‘profiteer’, he would become one!
Gale did not care what others thought of him. What mattered was getting the resources.
Moreover, he was not worried about his trades not going through.
Even though there was cheaper food, the quantity was very limited.
Those who didn’t manage to get it would eventually buy the one sold by Gale.
After all, there were a billion Castle Lords in this world. Not everyone could be self-sustaining at this point.
Some of the battle units summoned the next day by the Castle Lords were still very weak.
As long as they got too hungry, they would grit their teeth and buy it no matter how expensive the food was.
“Looks like I’m really like a profiteer…”
Gale smiled wryly.
Just as he had guessed, the 400 units of food he put on display were all sold out within seconds.
Most of the buyers even scolded Gale.
Since there were too many people, Gale did not intend to block them.
Actually, this was actually quite good for him.
You can scold me, but you still have to give me your money.
This was called happiness amidst pain.
With this thought, Gale opened [World Chat] again.
[Attention! An unscrupulous merchant has appeared on the trading channel. Everyone, please pay attention. Lock down your resources and don’t spend them rashly!]
[Is the person above sick? I’m so hungry that I’ve lost weight. If I don’t buy Big Boss Gale’s, am I supposed to eat your battle units?]
[Even if I starve to death, I won’t buy Gale’s food!]
[I said the same thing yesterday, but so what? I still bought two units of food today. How fragrant!]
[Above, I’m the same as you. Although it’s expensive, it’s really delicious!]
At the same time, on a vast grassland.
A beautiful woman was sitting cross-legged on the grass. Beside her was a lion covered in golden fur.
This woman was precisely Rowling!
She stroked the lion’s back affectionately.
“Gale, you actually dare reject my friend request?”
Rowling stared blankly at the notification of her rejected friend request reflected on the virtual screen.
