CHAPTER 76: Casa City
After midnight, there was still one more chapter.
These items looked like a lot, but the ones that could be turned into money immediately were very few. Corn and nut oil had the highest yields, but neither could be converted into cash right away. No one wanted corn, and nut oil needed to be processed before it became desirable. Furthermore, no one would want to buy such a large quantity all at once.
Eggplants and cabbages were both vegetables. When Zhao Hai first started planting them, he only thought to improve his life by adding more variety to his meals. However, it seemed that no one on the continent would buy these two items right now, and they couldn't be turned into money either.
As for wheat, there was no need to mention it. The yield was low, and to be turned into the flour eaten on the continent, it required further processing. Even purchasing wheat would yield very little money.
Right now, he could only rely on carrots, hoping they would fetch a good price. He currently had only six hundred gold coins left, which was why Zhao Hai hadn't planted carrots. If he did, all his gold coins would be spent on seeds.
Zhao Hai planned to harvest this season's corn tomorrow and then plant cauliflower. Although the seeds were only enough for two acres, he still wanted to plant them. He would use two acres for cauliflower and then plant two acres of wheat, since he still had three thousand jin of wheat in his warehouse, which could be used as seeds.
Zhao Hai did not want to plant wheat in his space because wheat could only be turned into flour, and the price of flour on the continent was not very high. He could grow other, more valuable items in his space and then buy flour to eat, which would be more cost-effective.
However, Zhao Hai had a habit: if he was going to plant corn, he would plant it across four acres. Therefore, he preferred to plant two acres of cauliflower and use the remaining two acres for wheat rather than corn.
Right now, he had too few items to plant. While on the road, Zhao Hai had not collected other plant seeds because there were people watching them. Collecting seeds would seem strange, so he refrained from doing anything reckless.
Zhao Hai had already thought this through. Relying solely on himself to collect seeds was not feasible. No matter how capable he was, how many seeds could he collect? He would also be discovered, making it not worth the risk. He planned to buy as many seeds as he could once he had the money, and then post tasks in taverns, hiring mercenaries and adventurers to help him gather more.
In this world, as long as you have money, you can make mercenaries and adventurers do anything for you. You can post any task you want, even if it involves assassinating a king in the Aksu Empire, as long as you can pay, someone would dare to take it on. Of course, whether it would be successful is another matter.
Zhao Hai sat in the hot spring, his mind constantly calculating. His power was already considerable, but the funds he had were too limited. Moreover, his enemies were too strong, so Zhao Hai decided to maintain his usual low profile.
Suddenly, a slight feeling of dizziness struck him. Zhao Hai paused for a moment, then shook his head and stood up. He was truly dissatisfied with his current physical condition; just soaking in the hot spring for a while made him feel dizzy. His body was too weak.
Standing up, he grabbed a towel to dry himself off, changed into his sleepwear, and walked to the bedside. He picked up the Kaya Pot and poured himself a cup of Kaya, sitting on the bed quietly taking a sip.
Zhao Hai felt his body was a bit soft. He knew this was due to soaking in the hot spring for too long, but he was too lazy to move now. He had been under too much pressure lately, both externally and internally, and it seemed like he was living under constant pressure every moment.
After soaking in the hot spring, he suddenly felt a sense of dejection, not wanting to think about anything, his mind blank, just wanting to lie there quietly.
