Chapter 676, Dare Not Be Arrogant

Translator: Silavin

 

Yu Ying and the others returned to the Yong’an Building after finishing their tour of the Central Market, each person wearing a smile on their face.

 

When they wandered around the Central Market, seeing those people’s shocked and curious expressions was truly amusing, making Sha Lans unable to resist watching for a while longer.

 

If it were not for the late hour, they would not have thought to return for food.

 

“Shaman, we’re back.” Yu Ying’s crisp voice rang out from outside the door.

 

“How was it? Did you enjoy your tour today?” Su Bai put down the Shaman Bone Tablet in his hand.

 

While the girls were touring the Central Market today, he had been busily crafting Shaman Bone Tablets.

 

Although he had not completely succeeded in making one for Taming yet, he had made some progress. With more research over the coming days, he would definitely be able to craft them.

 

“Very enjoyable. We saw all those goods displayed in the shops.” Yu Ying said without hesitation.

 

“Most importantly, those people’s expressions were truly hilarious.” Sha Lan could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.

 

“They were really too interesting. Everyone was scrambling for our goods.” Yan Hua added.

 

“It seems our goods have received excellent responses.” Su Bai said with satisfaction.

 

This scene was predictable. After all, only the Flame Dragon Tribe possessed these items!

 

“Indeed, everyone really liked our goods and traded for them without hesitation.” Yan Hua nodded repeatedly.

 

“It’s all thanks to those people at the entrance, otherwise they would not have been so willing to enter.” Sha Lan said.

 

“I must say, their acting skills are quite good.” Su Bai laughed heartily.

 

He had heard somewhat about the ‘actors’ outside the Tribe, and their performances were indeed rather exaggerated. However, they had grasped what to say and how to act, making everyone fall for their act, pushed to enter the Tribe.

 

“Shaman, those goods seem to have been exchanged away in quite small quantities.” Sha Lan reported.

 

Su Bai picked up the tea from beside the table, shook his head and said, “So, we still have too much in stock.”

 

While he sat in the Yong’an Building, people continuously came to report on the Central Market’s goods situation.

 

Of course, these people were all sent by Sha Lans for real-time updates.

 

“Yes, we still have plenty remaining.” Sha Lan also roughly knew the inventory levels.

 

“They are only trading bit by bit. These quantities are still too small.”

 

Su Bai took a sip of tea and continued, “What I want is for them to exchange in large quantities, so we can also produce in large quantities.”

 

After learning of the order volumes, he was unsatisfied. People from the Large Tribes were only exchanging one or two barrels of wine each.

 

The same with perfume, one or two bottles each. Everything was being exchanged in small amounts, which seemed rather petty.

 

“Shaman, I’m afraid it’s because this is the first time that they don’t dare to trade for too much.” Sha Lan analysed.

 

Sha Lan felt that those people had come from the Spotted Deer Tribe, and most of their dried meat and other items had been used up there. So, when they arrived at the Flame Dragon Tribe, they did not have much extra dried meat to use for the trades, plus this was their first time trading for these items.

 

“Next time, we must make them carry loads back.” Su Bai put down his teacup.

 

He also knew this needed to be done gradually. This time, it was about establishing the Flame Dragon Tribe’s reputation.

 

“However, people from the Green Vine Tribe’s introduction haven’t come yet. When they arrive, they should trade for quite a lot.” Sha Lan said.

 

All the people who came today were from the Spotted Deer Tribe, including people from the Giant Bear Tribe and many other Tribes.

 

“They’re coming directly to the Flame Dragon Tribe, so they’ve definitely prepared more adequately.” Su Bai calmly said.

 

“The Giant Bear Tribe people went to eat barbecue, but I heard someone say they were muttering amongst themselves.” Yan Hua suddenly said.

 

“Oh? What were they saying?” Su Bai asked curiously.

 

Yan Hua blinked her red eyes and said, “They were saying things like why they had to queue, claiming that Warriors should be able to enter directly.”

 

The Giant Bear Tribe people spoke so loudly, and the people queuing in front were all from the Flame Dragon Tribe. Naturally, these words would reach the Warriors’ ears.

 

“Let them talk. Since they haven’t actually done anything outrageous, there’s nothing much to say.” Su Bai waved his hand.

 

This was exactly what he wanted. They could only dare to verbally complain but not dare do anything. This meant the Flame Dragon Tribe had gained the initiative.

 

“True enough. Their weapons have been confiscated, and they’ve traded for so many goods from our Tribe.” Yan Hua nodded repeatedly.

 

“If they caused conflict with us at this point, it would mean they don’t need to expect to leave alive.” Sha Lan chuckled softly.

 

“Are they staying at the Restful Night Building tonight?” Su Bai asked.

 

“Yes, they don’t plan to leave tonight. They all want to experience what it feels like to live in a cement house.” Sha Lan immediately replied.

 

Su Bai’s thick black eyebrows rose as he asked. “Besides dried meat, what other things did they bring to trade?”

 

He wanted to know if, after establishing the Central Market, they could get some useful items.

 

Dried meat was a community and was needed by all Tribes, but after the Hunting Teams had hot air balloons, their efficiency in hunting beasts would increase. The food transported back to the Tribe would naturally increase as well, and eventually dried meat would not be that valuable to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

“The other things include rare Beast Hides, Beast Bones, and some strange stones and such.”

 

Sha Lan thought for a moment, then continued. “But, we don’t really understand these things, so we didn’t trade too much linen for them.”

 

“Were there no Shaman Bone Tablets?” Su Bai asked.

 

This was what he was curious about. He wanted to see what Shaman Techniques other Tribes’ Shamans knew, and these Shaman Bone Tablets were very important for that.

 

“None, not a single one.” Sha Lan shook her head.

 

Sha Lan had an excellent memory. So,  when she said there were none, there truly were none.

 

“I thought we might obtain some Shaman Bone Tablets. I didn’t expect not even one.” Su Bai was somewhat disappointed.

 

“Perhaps there will be some tomorrow. After all, people from other Tribes will still come over the coming days.” Sha Lan said.

 

Sha Lan naturally understood the importance of Shaman Bone Tablets, plus the Tribe had indeed accumulated quite a lot of dried meat recently.

 

Eventually, the Tribe would not need so much dried meat. In short, they would no longer need other Tribes to trade dried meat for their goods.

 

Even if they brought it in to trade, the value would not be high, because the Flame Dragon Tribe would already be able to satisfy its own dried meat needs.

 

“Right. If there are any Shaman Bone Tablets, bring them to me immediately, and also check which Tribe they’re from.” Su Bai instructed.

 

“Yes.” Sha Lan immediately responded.
