Chapter 11: Arrangement

Gelin had lived in the imperial capital all his life and had seen many grand scenes. He quickly regained his composure and, instead of looking at the items on the table, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, can you use magic now?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I can't use magic, you know that. Anyone who drinks the Water of Nothingness can no longer use magic. This is just a kind of ability, it has no offensive power, it can only let me store a little bit of things."

Gelin nodded, slightly disappointed, and then turned his head to the table, seeing the radish on it. He couldn't help but be stunned, immediately picked it up, examined it carefully, smelled it, and finally took a bite. He nodded, put the radish back on the table, and turned to Zhao Hai, saying, "Young Master, this is a magic radish, a very common magic vegetable."

Zhao Hai was taken aback and said, "What kind of magic vegetable? Are there other vegetables?"

Gelin nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. The vegetables on the Ark Continent are divided into two types: ordinary vegetables, which are generally eaten by commoners or slaves, and magic vegetables, which are usually eaten by nobles. These vegetables contain some magical energy themselves and can only grow in particularly good soil, and they also require careful care. The magic radish is such a magic vegetable, but it is the most common. The current market price is about one silver coin per pound."

Zhao Hai quickly calculated in his head. He now had 80,000 pounds of radishes. At one silver coin per pound, that's 80,000 silver coins, which is 8,000 gold coins. This is much better than selling to the space, which only gives 500 gold coins, equivalent to about six copper coins per pound. Compared to the purchasing power of this world and Earth, if he sold these radishes to the space, it would be only about 60 cents per pound, but selling them here would be about 10 yuan per pound, a difference of nearly twenty times. Even a fool would know what to do.

At this moment, Gelin picked up the radish again and said, "But this magic radish is a bit strange. We haven't seen such a large magic radish on the continent before, and its taste is much better than ordinary magic radishes. Young Master, where did you get this?"

Zhao Hai didn't answer him but continued, "Can the leaves of this thing be eaten by blue-eyed rabbits? When we buy magic radishes, do we buy the leaves together?"

Gelin shook his head and said, "If we buy magic radishes, we don't want the leaves. The leaves don't taste good, but they are something that blue-eyed rabbits love to eat. Why are you asking about this, Young Master?"

Zhao Hai suddenly stood up, a look of joy on his face, and walked around the room twice, saying, "Heaven has not abandoned me, heaven has not abandoned me. This is great. With this, I can build a ranch."

Gelin, seeing Zhao Hai's appearance, felt a bit scared. He didn't know what was wrong with Zhao Hai, thinking he had gone mad, and quickly said, "Young Master, Young Master, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your old servant."

Zhao Hai immediately came to his senses, looked at Gelin, and laughed, saying, "Grandpa Gelin, don't be afraid. I'm just too happy. Grandpa Gelin, I have a question. Is this magic radish easy to buy?"

Gelin, seeing that Zhao Hai was fine, was relieved and immediately nodded, saying, "It's easy to buy. There isn't much war on the continent now, and people have a lot of income. Many commoners also buy some magic vegetables to eat. The magic radish is the cheapest of the magic vegetables, so many people buy it."

Zhao Hai nodded, sat down, and asked Gelin to sit down as well, saying, "Grandpa Gelin, I have 80,000 pounds of this magic radish. You need to find a way to sell it. The price can be a bit lower, but it must be sold as soon as possible. Then buy blue-eyed rabbits, as many as possible. There are many abandoned mines on the mountain where we live, which can be transformed into nests for blue-eyed rabbits. This way, we will have a steady income in the future."

Gelin was stunned, stood up excitedly, and said, "Young Master, you mean 80,000 pounds of magic radish? How did you get so much?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that for now. Just get this done as soon as possible. And the buyer must be big. Tell him I have plenty of magic radishes, about 80,000 pounds every two days, and I can provide as much as he wants."

Gelin stammered, "Young Master, are you serious? Do you really have that much magic radish? Where did you get it from?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just get this done as soon as possible. It must be done quickly and quietly. Don't let anyone know that we are selling these things. Can you do that?"

Gelin immediately calmed down. Although he didn't know where Zhao Hai got these radishes, he thought it must be related to the ability Zhao Hai had obtained. He immediately said, "Young Master, rest assured. Your old servant can do this. I will go and arrange it right away."

Zhao Hai nodded and called out to Gelin, who was about to leave, saying, "Grandpa Gelin, tell the slaves to stop worrying about the supplies and start cleaning up the mines. They need to be cleaned up as soon as possible. We will raise a lot of blue-eyed rabbits, and I will take care of the supplies. Don't worry about it."

Gelin's eyes sparkled, and he gained a new understanding of Zhao Hai's ability. Although Zhao Hai said his ability had no offensive power, just the fact that he could store so many things and provide so many magic radishes was already impressive.

Gelin immediately nodded and said, "Young Master, rest assured. I will arrange it. Mu Tou, Shi Tou, from now on, protect Young Master step by step. I will be out for a few days. Mei Lin, Mei Ge, take care of the slaves and make sure to complete Young Master's arrangements as soon as possible. Understand?"

At this moment, Gelin finally showed the authority and skill of a major noble's head steward. In the shortest time, he arranged the most important matters: first, Zhao Hai's safety, second, the focus of the work, and third, buying the radishes. Clearly, he would handle the third matter himself.

Mei Lin and the others were already stunned. They really didn't expect Zhao Hai to have such a secret. When Gelin shouted, they immediately came to their senses and responded. Gelin then quickly walked out.

Zhao Hai looked at Gelin's back and nodded. It seemed that Gelin wasn't completely clueless. The reason he spent all his money when he came to the Black Earth Wasteland might have been to make Adam stay here without money. But now, he wouldn't worry about that anymore.

Mei Lin, seeing Gelin leave, turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, are you hungry? You haven't eaten anything since this morning. I'll go and prepare something for you." She then headed for the kitchen.

Zhao Hai quickly said, "Grandma Mei Lin, forget it. I ate half a magic radish this morning and I'm still full. I can't eat anything."

Mei Lin quickly shook her head and said, "That won't do. How can you be full just eating that? Young Master, wait a moment. I'll make something quickly."

Zhao Hai, seeing he couldn't stop her, quickly said, "Grandma Mei Lin, take this magic radish to the kitchen and use it for cooking."

Mei Lin responded, picked up the half radish, and went into the kitchen. Mei Ge stood next to Zhao Hai, while Mu Tou and Shi Tou stood on either side of him.

Zhao Hai, seeing their appearance, couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that no matter what he said, Mu Tou and Shi Tou wouldn't listen. These two were very stubborn and now only listened to Gelin. So he didn't say anything and just turned to Mei Ge, saying, "Mei Ge, go and get me some cocoa. I'm a bit thirsty."

Mei Ge responded and turned to the kitchen. As she passed behind Zhao Hai, she secretly glanced at him and then quickly walked into the kitchen.

Zhao Hai sat there idly. In the castle, there were still too few people he could talk to. Only Gelin and a few others. The slaves couldn't chat normally with Zhao Hai yet. If Zhao Hai tried to chat with them, it might scare them. So Zhao Hai could only sit there alone.

Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to chat with Mu Tou and Shi Tou, but they were both not very smart, and chatting with them was pointless. So he could only sit there idly.

Fortunately, Mei Ge soon came out with a pot of cocoa. After pouring Zhao Hai a cup, she retreated to his back and didn't say a word, which made Zhao Hai quite frustrated. He didn't know what to say to Mei Ge, as Adam's past actions made him feel awkward when facing her.

Mei Lin was quick, and soon Zhao Hai's breakfast was ready. It was similar to a Western breakfast on Earth, with bread, meat porridge, and a few fried eggs. The eggs, of course, were not chicken eggs like on Earth but eggs from a first-level magic beast, the earth chicken.

Zhao Hai turned to Mei Lin and the others and said, "Grandma Mei Lin, you should sit down and eat too. After eating, you still have a lot to do. You don't need to stay with me."

Mei Lin nodded and didn't argue this time. She knew that after eating, they really had a lot to do. So Mei Lin and Mei Ge went to the kitchen to get a few more breakfasts and ate with Mu Tou and Shi Tou.

After breakfast, Zhao Hai didn't return to his room but went to the living room on the first floor and sat there drinking cocoa. He knew that after Gelin arranged everything, he would come to report, so he wasn't in a hurry.
