Lin Tian asked calmly, “What’s the price for this tauren?”
The slave trader hesitated for a moment, then stretched out two fingers. “Two gold coins.”
Lin Tian continued looking at the slave trader calmly, and the slave trader’s expression changed. The clerk’s words were indeed correct. The tauren was not a slave that could easily be sold.
Only in big cities would one or two nobles buy them provided they were interested, but they often also disliked the trouble. After all, there was no threat of war in big cities, and once a large-scale war broke out, one or two taurens would be of no use.
To the nobles, taurens were a type of beastmen. If there were too many of them, the risk of danger would increase. This was because, in the eyes of many human nobles, the beastmen were uncivilized barbarians.
As for the small nobles at the borders, they did not have the ability to raise a tauren. If they were not given food, they would not have the energy to work; but if they were given food, their appetites would be too large. One tauren could feed dozens of people.
Seeing that Lin Tian did not seem interested, the slave trader gritted his teeth and said, “One gold coin.”
Lin Tian remained silent. The slave trader recalled how he had already walked past several tribes, but none of the lords were interested. If the tauren were to fall into his hands, he would not be able to bear the tauren’s appetite!
The slave trader said in a deep voice, “80 silver coins, I can’t go any lower!”
Lin Tian did not haggle and said directly, “Deal.”
The slave trader suddenly realized that in his confrontation with Lin Tian, he became anxious because of his calm gaze! He immediately felt that he was at a loss!
The viewers in the livestream room laughed crazily.
[You didn’t expect it, did you? You’ve been tricked!]
[The streamer’s ultimate skill, death gaze!]
[The slave trader can’t keep his cool!]
Lin Tian took out a gold coin from his money bag and handed it to the slave trader.
“Lord, do you want to take a look at these two? One is a dwarf and the other is a gnome.”
Lin Tian caught the word “gnome” in his ears and glanced in the direction the slave trader pointed.
The gnome’s appearance was very ugly, so Lin Tian was not interested.
He walked to the dwarf and asked, “What can you do?”
The dwarf hid in the corner of the cage and did not move.
Lin Tian continued, “As long as you can prove your worth, I will buy you. As long as you don’t leave my tribe, I can give you the identity as a free citizen.”
The dwarf’s ears twitched. He stood up and whispered into Lin Tian’s ear, “I know how to forge.”
The slave trader beside him tried his best to listen, but he could not hear anything.
The dwarf was a smart man. He was worried that the slave trader would raise the price after hearing him.
Lin Tian said indifferently, “Since you don’t have any abilities, then I won’t buy you. Give me my change.”
The dwarf’s eyes were full of disappointment.
The slave merchant advised, “Lord, please reconsider.”
One needed luck to obtain a beautiful cat-eared lady, and not every slave merchant could obtain one.
If an ordinary slave merchant could earn one or two gold coins per trip, it was already a very high income. Of course, it was nothing for a big slave merchant. Moreover, they would not come to such a remote place.
Lin Tian said, “Then let’s make it a round figure. You don’t have to give me my change. One gold coin for a tauren and a dwarf, how about that?”
The dwarf instantly understood what Lin Tian meant, and his eyes lit up.
The slave trader hesitated for a moment but still agreed. “Alright.”
He wanted to sell all his slaves as soon as possible. If he lost this opportunity, he did not know when he would be able to sell the dwarf. After all, dwarves were not popular slaves.
With that, Lin Tian obtained a tauren and a dwarf for one gold coin. He was prepared to place them in the headquarters of the territory’s army where there would be people on duty every day.
After seeing the tauren tremble from hunger as he got off the carriage, Lin Tian took out a large number of biscuits, chicken legs, water, and said, “Eat up.” He wanted to see just how big the tauren’s appetite was.
All that was left in the tauren’s eyes was food. He finished all the biscuits that Lin Tian gave him in a few bites.
[F*ck, ten biscuits in one bite?]
[This must be a super big eater!]
[Food bloggers have been instantly reduced to dregs!]
In a few minutes, the tauren finished dozens of biscuits, thirty chicken legs, and three bottles of water, but he was still not full.
Lin Tian asked his men to bring out more food, and the tauren continued to eat. The townsfolk were all dumbfounded. Was this guy’s stomach a bottomless pit?! The viewers in the livestream were also stunned.
[F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!]
[Uhm… being able to eat is a blessing (laughing and crying).]
[F*ck, streamer, I have a brilliant idea for you. You can start another livestream and stream this guy as he eats. I’m sure his popularity will skyrocket!]
[He ate my meal in one bite! How scary!]
Half an hour later, the tauren finally stopped. Lin Tian roughly counted the number. The tauren had eaten more than a hundred biscuits, forty chicken legs, and ten bottles of water! The weight of all these food added up to more than 30 catties! He was secretly shocked. Sure enough, he could eat!
[Kneel down to the boss!]
[Won’t the streamer be eaten up by him?]
[What is a true glutton? This is it!]
[Eating Is A Blessing sent one cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!]
[Comment: Streamer, do you want to stream together? Take a look at your private message!]
[White Rabbit sent 10 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!]
[Shiba Go Go Go sent one cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!]
[Comment: Streamer, you must let him stay! It felt so good watching him eat!]
[Dowyin Operator Li Miaomiao sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!]
[Comment: Streamer, is it convenient for you to return my call or reply to my private message? I am a Dowyin operator and I want to sign a contract with you!]
This reward immediately attracted the attention of the viewers in the livestream.
[Dowyin operator? Really?]
[Oh my God, the streamer hasn’t even signed a contract yet!]
[It must be fake. It must be some livestreaming company!]
In the town square, the tauren burped after finally having his fill. Then, he knelt down facing Lin Tian, tears streaming down his face, and a humming sound came out of his mouth.
[He has been subdued with just one meal?]
[So honest!]
[That’s how a script should be played out!]
[Comment above, go and find me a person who can eat tens of kilograms in one meal!]
Lin Tian was also very surprised by the tauren’s attitude. Had he never eaten his fill before?
There was not much food in the Beastmen Kingdom to begin with. Not only did the tauren had a large appetite, but he also could not eat grass. He was probably in a constant state of hunger. The meal he had just given the tauren was probably the first time he had ever eaten his fill, which was why he was so moved.
Lin Tian called over a clerk. “Arrange a place for the tauren and the dwarf..”
