Actually, it doesn’t smell bad, and the garbage truck is a hybrid, which looks very advanced in Lin Qinghen’s eyes.
Because of its large capacity, in addition to being propelled by spiritual power, there is also a black-armored elephant in front of the vehicle to pull it. This is a yellow-level spiritual beast raised by the Lin family. It is very strong and moves very fast. It is often used for transportation in the outside world.
Moreover, this beast was very large. When Lin Qinghen stood in front of it, he was not even half the height of its leg.
But for some reason, the elephant seemed to like Lin Qinghen very much, even though this was the first time they met.
When Lin Qinghen stood next to it, it nudged him gently a few times with its long trunk. Lin Qinghen tried to reach out and touch it, and it didn't hide. Instead, it patted his shoulder with its trunk, as if it was playing.
There are more than Shiqi people in charge of garbage removal in the park. There are several other people helping out, basically all of them are farmers in the park. Some of them are familiar and some are not. Among them is the keeper of the black-armored elephants. He is the head of the removal team and is responsible for driving the garbage truck. This person is someone Lin Qinghen is not familiar with.
When Seventeen brought Lin Qinghen to get a ride today, his face wasn't very good. He crossed his arms and glanced at him, probably looking down on this "young master" who really had no status.
"We are busy," he said, "We have a day's work to do, not to go out for fun."
Although they didn't say directly that I couldn't sit down, the tone didn't sound nice.
Lin Qinghen was not angry. He was just asking for a favor. The garbage truck team went out in the morning and came back in the evening. He was busy with his own business during that time and had to meet up with them when he came back. It was considered kind of them to be willing to give him a ride.
Moreover, in his current situation, he would have to go out frequently in the future, which would inevitably cause trouble to others. He was about to explain something when he was interrupted by the trunk of the black-armored elephant.
This huge beast, which he saw for the first time, seemed to like rubbing against him very much. He didn't know whether it welcomed others or not, but it welcomed Lin Qinghen very much.
Seeing that Lin Qinghen was liked by the spirit beasts, the team leader, who was the breeder, looked him up and down and his attitude obviously changed.
"Come up," he said to Lin Qinghen, his tone was much kinder, and he added a few more words, "Although the black-armored elephant is relatively gentle, it also has a temper. In all this time, I have never seen it be so nice to a stranger. You are lucky."
Lin Qinghen was also quite surprised.
He had also fed the spirit beasts in the garden and had some experience in that. Perhaps because he had been in the plantation for a long time and was still weak, the aura on his body did not have much aggressiveness, so some of the spirit beasts he had seen and raised were considered easy to get along with in front of him.
But the elephant's actions were indeed beyond his expectations, and there had never been such a situation before.
Is it because of that natural affinity
Because of the black-armored elephant's friendliness, everyone else sat in the carriage, and only Lin Qinghen, who had just arrived, was allowed to sit on the black-armored elephant's broad back with the keeper.
There was still some distance from the plantation to the back door of the Lin family. It was the first time for Lin Qinghen to sit on the back of an elephant. He found it interesting and the view was good.
But when it reached the back door of the Lin family, the elephant stopped because the road ahead was blocked by many people and a convoy was carrying things into the house.
The entrance and exit of the Lin family's back door are separate, and one in and one out does not obstruct each other. They should not have blocked the road, but the captain sitting in the front looked at those people, quickly drove the elephant to the side, and waited obediently.
Lin Qinghen felt a little strange and asked in a low voice.
Why can these convoys ignore the Lin family's rules and occupy other people's roads
"you do not know?"
Lin Qinghen shook his head honestly.
He had been quite isolated these past two days because of system matters and had no time to pay attention to the Lin family's affairs.
The breeder was straightforward. After hearing his answer, he grinned and whispered to him, "Look at you. What do you think of the young master of the Lin family? The gap between you and others is too big."
What he said was the truth. Seeing that Lin Qinghen didn't seem angry after hearing this, he followed up with a few more words, then became serious and explained the situation to him.
"These are urgently shipped here for the banquet in seven days. It's strange that you don't know about this. It's the 18th birthday banquet that the head of the family has arranged for your sister, Miss Qingshuang, and many well-known figures in the mainland have been invited. It can be considered a grand event. Recently, because of this event, the city has been a little more lively than usual."
Lin Qingshuang.
Just by mentioning this name, Lin Qinghen's mood suddenly became bad.
The family is going to hold a banquet for her, which means that this person is naturally going to come back.
Yes, Lin Qingshuang has not been at the Lin family for some time. A spiritual master cannot practice behind closed doors, so she has been out for training for half a year.
Lin Zhongtian loves his daughter dearly, and he went out in person to look for her half a month ago. Seeing that these two people were probably preparing to return home.
I didn't expect that I hadn't been able to enjoy a peaceful life for long. The surprise brought by the system only lasted for two days, and then bad news came.
The breeder saw that his face stiffened a little, and thought that he was finally showing some jealousy, so he didn't say anything else, but he kept thinking about it.
Because it is considered a shame, some newcomers to the Lin family don’t even know that there is a young master Lin Qinghen who is the head of the family’s biological son.
He was an old servant of the Lin family, so he understood the matter clearly. Now he happened to witness this scene, and he felt somewhat sad.
They are both children of family heads, but their circumstances are so different.
Miss Qingshuang in the family is a genius and the apple of the family's eye. The small gadgets prepared for the birthday party are enough to fill dozens of motorcades, but this girl can only ride on the garbage truck and has to give way to the servants who are transporting things.
However, he did not expect that this Young Master Qinghen had a good attitude despite other things.
The stiff expression only lasted for a moment, and soon he began to entertain himself while waiting, interacting with the black elephant under him and feeding it biscuits.
"I say, don't you have any thoughts about this?" He couldn't help but ask again, "After all, you are the head of the family's biological child..."
"Why would I have any thoughts about something that has never belonged to me?" Lin Qinghen seemed to be talking to himself as he spoke, "I almost forgot that in a few days, I will be eighteen."
In this world, eighteen years old also represents an important moment of adulthood. He did not expect to have any luxurious and beautiful party like Lin Qingshuang. For Lin Qinghen, if he could earn money with his own hands at this moment, it would be much more important than a party.
After eating his cake, the elephant seemed to have a better relationship with Lin Qinghen. After the convoy in front had cleared out, it even moved according to Lin Qinghen's words. The man and the elephant seemed to be having a great time.
Zookeeper: …Why do I feel like I’m the one who got hurt in the end
After leaving the Lin family, Lin Qinghen no longer cared about Lin Qingshuang. But she hadn't come back yet. He waved goodbye to the cute and obedient black-armored elephant, remembering that he had something important to do to make money.
The Lin family is the number one family in Dongtian Prefecture. They have a great location in the center of the city. Although Lin Qinghen doesn't go out often, he has done his homework.
He had seen the map of Dongtian Mansion and remembered it very clearly. After going out of the back door and walking a short distance, he arrived at the most lively place in the city.
Lin Qinghen had already made preparations to hide his whereabouts. He didn't want to be recognized by some of the Lin family members who were out, so he started to change his clothes as soon as he went out. He took off his commonly used soft leather mask and put on a cloth hood.
This headgear is used by many people outside. It is one of the outfits that spiritualists wear when they go out on adventures. It can cover the exposed skin on the face. Many people also wear it when they go into the city.
Lin Qinghen always wore farmer's clothes, an apron and carried large and small baskets on his back, which was somewhat cumbersome.
After he went out today, he turned his clothes inside out and used a strip of cloth as a belt, which rarely revealed his original young figure, making him look much neater and cleaner.
When he walked out like this, he looked like an ordinary adventurer. No one recognized him or paid attention to him among the crowd.
For this first step, Lin Qinghen went straight to the big market in the city.
He never fights a battle without preparation and has already understood the market conditions clearly before going out.
A bottle of yellow-grade three-star hemostatic powder contains 20 pills. The price of the alienated round wheat plus the low-level medicinal base is about 400 spirit baht. The added value of the alchemist's labor is very high. After the pill is completed, the price directly increases by 50%, and a bottle can reach 600 spirit baht.
The average price of a yellow-grade three-star hemostatic powder is 30 spirit baht, which fluctuates depending on its quality and efficacy.
Although the medicine is of low grade, it is a price that a yellow-grade spiritualist or martial artist can afford. Although they are at the bottom of the pyramid and are not very powerful, they are also the largest group.
In the spiritual world, the fastest way to obtain valuable or scarce resources is to go out and risk collecting or fighting for them. Injuries are inevitable, so this kind of basic medicine has always been in great demand.
Lin Qinghen calculated that although round wheat has a growth period, the low-level ripening agent suitable for it is also easy to buy and the price is not expensive, about the same as the medicine base, about 100 spirit baht.
While maintaining the seamless operation of the manufacturing station, he can produce 48 portions of hemostatic powder every day, with a net profit of 400 spirit baht per portion. It's a simple math problem. With the fastest efficiency, he should be able to complete this task in about five or six days.
However, the simple math problems were quickly and ruthlessly defeated.
Lin Qinghen, who was planning to raise some start-up capital, was poured a bucket of cold water when he opened his first store.
The first place Lin Qinghen came to was Bailu Danhang, which was the largest medicine trading platform in the city and even in the spirit world. It was a chain store throughout the spirit world.
The big trading company was indeed a big trading company, with good order and clear instructions. The clerk who received him was also very friendly and there was nothing wrong with it. However, when Lin Qinghen took a closer look at the quotation, he was shocked.
“… Why is your purchase price only 380 per bottle?!”
Of course the purchase price will be lower than the selling price outside, he knows this common sense.
But the system produces 20 to 25 pills per batch, so his harvest is usually a few more than the 20 pills in a bottle outside.
Moreover, Lin Qinghen knew that his pills were of better quality and should be priced higher. By compensating for each other, he should be able to achieve his expected profit margin. If it was slightly worse, he could also accept it.
But he didn't expect Chengdan's purchase price to be so ridiculously low. Even though he could afford the cost of the alienated round wheat himself, the profit margin still dropped significantly.
Before Lin Qinghen could ask further questions, the clerk gave him another heavy blow.
"The purchase price is naturally different from the selling price outside," the young lady said with a smile on her face, her attitude was still very good, "380 is already a very high price, and the procedure is simple. As long as you produce the qualification certificate of a yellow-level three-star alchemist, we will pay the money and deliver the goods..."
"Wait," Lin Qinghen heard the key words and asked again, "What if I'm not an alchemist, I'm just, uh, reselling?"
As soon as he said this, the receptionist's expression suddenly changed, his smile disappeared, and his tone became much stiffer.
"If you are not a pharmacist, it means you are not the maker of this bottle of pills. In order to ensure the quality of the pills and avoid counterfeits, we need to conduct additional tests on each batch of pills we purchase to ensure that there are no problems with the medicines."
“… also charge a fee?”
"Of course," the clerk told him, "the testing fee is 80 per bottle."
Lin Qinghen's voice trembled: "Have you finished speaking in one breath? Are there any other expenses?"
"Non-alchemists will be charged an additional transaction fee of 50 per bottle."
After all the deductions, doesn't that mean that one bottle can only be sold for 250? !
"No... there's something wrong with your price," Lin Qinghen felt like an idiot and couldn't help but discuss it with her. "Not to mention the base, the price of a portion of the alienated red round wheat is 300. How come it's even lower after it becomes a pill?"
"I told you before, how can the purchase price be the same as the selling price?" The clerk said impatiently, "We also purchase red round wheat, 120 per portion."
Lin Qinghen: "???"
Just say that you are a middleman and make a profit from the price difference!
Even if I change the world, I still can’t avoid you, you evil capitalist!
When he saw the two words "round wheat", he thought of his own fields. Even if it wasn't for the system, he would have to keep an eye on his own fields every day. He didn't check them today and felt like something was missing.
Now he wanted to go and see it.
The big tree where Lin Qinghen is now is not so simple. There is a small formation here.
He skillfully found a small hole on the tree trunk and injected a little of his spiritual power into it. Soon, a hole appeared on the tree trunk that was big enough for one person to enter.
After entering, there are two acres of land.
This place was found by Yu Yinyin for Lin Qinghen. This tree is near where she lives. He spent a long time to get it for his own research.
His master looked cold, but in fact, if he knew her better, he would know that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and would almost always grant Lin Qinghen's requests.
He hung luminous minerals around his two acres of land, and with the lamp in Lin Qinghen's hand, he could see clearly even after dark.
Under the white light emitted by the ore, the round wheat fields he planted swayed gently in the wind.
Under his feet were his own fields, in his ears were the subtle sounds of crops swaying, and there was a faint fragrance from the round wheat fields. It was not until this moment that Lin Qinghen's heart, which had been shocked by the sudden change of the system, finally calmed down completely.
He felt an indescribable sense of groundedness in his heart.
The two acres of land were carefully divided into blocks. A closer look revealed that although all of them were planted with round wheat, each block was different, some were high, some were low, some were thick, and some were thin, and the fruits they produced were also different. There was a wooden sign in the upper right corner of each field with the number he wrote on it for distinguishing them.
These are all the results of Lin Qinghen’s research in recent years.
He initially used crossbreeding to try to create a better variety.
