Chapter 17: Give advice

Cutting Knife: Can be used to decompose animal carcasses, selling price: 1 gold coin. This was the lowest-priced thing George saw in Mr. Liu's grocery store, and it actually cost one gold coin. George, who originally thought that his two gold coins were quite a lot, suddenly realised that they have no purchasing power here at all. He was uncertain if two gold coins were too little, or the prices of things here were too high. However, no matter what, one thing was certain: Mr. Liu was an unethical businessman! Therefore, although there were many things in this grocery store, George could only leave in despair. "If you have any good things, you are welcome to sell them to me again. I promise to give you a fair price!" Mr. Liu said loudly to George from behind. George pouted and didn't want to pay attention to him. Returning to the village chief's house again, the chief was lying on the deck chair in front of the door, basking in the sun leisurely. "Chief, I'm back." George said. "You're back?" The old village chief opened his eyes slightly and looked at George, "You got the money?" "Yes." George took the two gold coins in his pocket out and placed them in front of the village chief. The village chief looked at the two gold coins in front of him, then at George who looked serious, and said, "That's it?" George could feel the contempt in the old village chief's words, and there was a flush of embarrassment on his face. It seemed that these two gold coins were really not enough. Thinking about it, these two gold coins were only enough for two cutting knives in the grocery store. If he wanted to rent the large land in the back hill, it was obviously not enough. "What did you sell to Liu that he only gave you these two gold coins?" asked the old village chief. "The corpse of a demonized fox and a colourful evil tiger." George said honestly. "What?" The old village chief stood up abruptly and his eyes widened, "He only gave you two gold coins for those two corpses?" "Yeah." George nodded. "Liu is really capable of taking advantage of every person he encounters." The old village chief said with emotion, "It wouldn't be hard to sell the two corpses for twenty gold coins, or even more, especially the corpse of the colourful evil tiger. It is even more valuable, as it is not easy to catch. That one is full of treasures and if you bring it to the city, just the body itself can be sold for more than fifty gold coins." This unethical businessman! When George heard what the old village chief said, he was furious. How could he even have the thought that Mr. Liu was a sincere person. All businessmen were unethical in a way, and he really scammed quite a lot from George. George also realised again that this is not an ordinary game world. People here have their own thoughts instead of programmed data. He must be more careful when dealing with these people in the future. "Actually, you don't need to sell both corpses to Liu." The old village chief once again gave George some advice, "If you get any wild beasts carcasses, you can break them down and sell the meat to Aunty Wang. She is the top cook in our village. If the teeth and claws are sharp enough, you can sell them to Sun, the blacksmith of our village, who can make them weapons. As for the fur, sell them to Miss Wu, who is the village tailor. She would be very interested in it." George looked at the old village chief blankly and said, "If I break it down like this, wouldn't that mean I don't have to go to the grocery store at all?" If every part of the animal carcass was purchased, there wouldn't be a need to go to the grocery store. "Yes." The old village chief said matter-of-factly. "Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" George gritted his teeth and said. If he sold it to the others, maybe he wouldn't have been cheated and could make more money. "I was just about to say that but you ran away in a hurry without giving me a chance to remind you." The old village chief said casually. George was immediately speechless. He blamed himself for being too impatient. Knowing that the two corpses could be sold for money, he didn't even listen to the chief. As a result, he was tricked. "But, if you want to decompose the carcasses of those animals, you must know the decomposition technique. Otherwise, if you ruin the fur and teeth, no one will want them. In our village, only Aunty Wang knows the decomposition technique." The old village chief reminded. George could understand. He was a novice and if he didn't know the decomposition technique, he would definitely turn the corpse into tatters. The appearance would not be good, so naturally he won't be able to sell it at a good price. "Chief, how much will it cost to rent the vacant land in the back hills?" With a way to make money, George had the confidence to ask for the specific price. "Five hundred gold coins a year!" said the old village chief, "As long as you give me five hundred gold coins, then all the open space on the hill will be rented to you. You can plant whatever you want in it." "Five hundred gold coins? That much?!" George said in shock. Not every monster will leave a corpse behind when it is killed. George already knew that. Therefore, it was not easy to make money. When will he manage to get five hundred gold coins? "That's a lot? If it weren't for the fact that you are an old acquaintance, I wouldn't even rent it out for five thousand gold coins!" The old village chief stopped smiling as he said, "Do you know how big the open space is in the entire back hill? Not only can you grow the vegetables and fruits you want there, but you can also rear fish and livestock.” The chief's words made George even more excited. If he could rear livestock, wouldn't he also be able to use the meat for barbecue in reality? This was a good thing. Therefore, without much hesitation, George made up his mind to rent the entire vacant land in the back hill. After that, he kept persuading and finally got the old village chief to agree to give him the vacant land in the back hills for farming in the meantime. The money will be paid within a month instead. With the consent of the old village chief, George left in satisfaction and planned to go to Aunty Wang's house to learn the decomposition technique from her. When the old village chief saw George leaving, he also had a satisfied smile on his face, "The back hill has been abandoned for many years. It is often infested by wild beasts and monsters. No one was willing to use that place so it has been idle for a long time. I never thought I could rent it out and get five hundred gold coins a year just like that! I really am qualified to be the village chief, haha." Naturally, George didn't know how delighted the old village chief was, but he did have a need for the empty land in the hills, so even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. Now George Wu just wants to make money and plant crops as soon as possible so that he can use the things in this space to change his real life. Learning the art of decomposition was naturally very important for him to make money.
