Chapter 1390 Ah, This Guest~

The passage of time and the rising temperature are reminding everyone that the season is entering summer.

"Great Emperor, the food for civilian use is about to run out!"

In order to ensure the combat power of the imperial army, Robert Smith divided the food into military and civilian. The soldiers in his army must never go hungry, otherwise how can they fight?

But in this way, the amount of food that the people can distribute will be significantly less.

It has been mentioned in previous reports from various departments that famine will gradually break out until June at most.

Facts have proved that the ability of his imperial ministers is still there, at least the calculations and judgments are quite accurate.

Now the food is distributed day by day. At the same time, in order to last for a while, the distributed food is also diluted again and again. If it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be no different from drinking water directly.

He now needs at least 500,000 tons of grain to close the gap! But where does this get him? !

The bad situation made Robert Smith feel a little irritable.

However, at this moment, a 'dididi' sound made him even more irritable.

Then he subconsciously glanced at the system panel that appeared, which was a reminder sound for receiving a message.

To be honest, unless someone can help him solve the domestic famine problem, he is really not in the mood to pay attention to anyone right now.

"Trader?"

Looking at the name that appeared, Robert Smith frowned, and then subconsciously opened the message window...

Trader (unfamiliar) (private chat): Oh, this guest, please allow me to introduce myself first.

Trader (unfamiliar) (private chat): Just like this name, the next is a trader, who usually sells some materials or props to get some meager income.

Seeing these two pieces of news, Robert Smith's expression changed slightly, then quickly regained his composure, and signaled the minister standing below to retreat first.

And then quickly replied with a message...

"I've heard of you, you can trade with various players without using the system, and even a merchant who can sell supplies. Before that, I always thought it was just a rumor."

That's right, Robert Smith has heard of this businessman, but the existence of the other party is too mysterious, so basically no one knows who this 'trader' is.

But at this moment, the appearance of the trader gave Robert Smith a glimmer of hope!

"You really can sell anything?"

Faced with this question, the trader on the opposite side quickly sent a reply.

"Anything can be sold? That's not true. It mainly depends on what the customer wants."

Without any detours, Robert Smith said directly and simply...

"I need food."

"Of course there is no problem. Food resources are one of the main commodities under the table. So how much food do you need?"

"500,000 tons!"

"Oh, 500,000 tons of grain? No problem! As for the price, 100,000 tons of grain, how about a gold-level item?"

As soon as the news came out, Robert Smith, who was sitting there, was shocked, and at that moment, he almost yelled.

Although I have long heard that this mysterious trader's price is a bit dark and is a profiteer, but this special girl is too dark, right?

100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level prop? Are your grains encrusted with diamonds? !

Of course, considering his current situation and the fact that the other party does have a lot of food that he desperately needs, these words are limited to thinking in his mind.

When it was at hand, the news that Robert Smith went back to the past became like this...

"You're not joking at all!"

"This guest, in business, is quite serious for the time being."

At the end of the message, there was a 'serious' chat expression attached, but Robert Smith didn't find it interesting at all.

"100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level item? It's no exaggeration to say that the price is sky-high!"

"Guest, you have to factor in the cost, and it's just a small difference in the middle."

Seeing this news, Robert Smith cursed inwardly on the spot, "I believe in you!"

Even if the 500,000 tons of grain was purchased by the other player from another player, he didn't think the purchase price would be so high.

Earn a little bit more? This selling method is simply profiteering!

However, is food really worthless?

It depends!

When there is a famine, for those who are about to starve to death, a bite of life-saving food is hard to find!

At this time, Robert Smith, although his 'empire' has not yet reached the point of starvation, it is not far behind. The preciousness of food has long exceeded the value of food itself, and it has become Important materials related to the survival of his empire!

These 500,000 tons of grain are more precious than gold to the current Robert Smith. That is not an exaggeration at all!

"It doesn't matter if you can't make a decision for a while, you can think about it slowly."

"However, let me remind you that the grain in your hands is not inexhaustible, and now is the war period, the grain can be said to be in short supply and will be snapped up soon. After this batch is sold, When the next batch will be available, we can't make any guarantees."

"If you can't survive the current predicament, leaving the gold-level items in your hands is also a waste, guests, what do you think?"

Three messages in a row made Robert Smith's heart skip a beat.

But at the same time, he had to admit that the other party's remarks made him completely unable to refute.

How chaotic the battlefield is now in the world, you can see from here that food is in short supply. The other party's words are definitely not just casual words, but a fact.

100,000 tons of grain, a gold-level item, this price is indeed maddeningly expensive, but it is undeniable that if he misses this wave, he is likely to face a situation where he has no money to buy food in the future.

The intense inner struggle made Robert Smith's entire face a little cloudy.

Then after taking a deep breath, I saw him reply again...

"There is also a difference in value between gold-level items and gold-level items. How do you calculate this account?"

"Guest, don't worry, 100,000 tons of grain and a gold-level item are just a measure. The exact price depends on what kind of gold-level item you bring out. After all, you are an honest businessman."
