Chapter 16: Trading For Riches

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Thomas wrote the information on the parchment, the originally empty parchment was instantly filled with one sentence after another.

Anthony: “Thomas, you’ve actually built a camp? Where did you get so many magic cores? I’ve been squatting in the fog for a day and a night before I built an Arrow Tower. It’s still far from the camp.”

Andy: “What do you mean Anthony? You actually built an Arrow Tower? I’ve been walking in the fog for half a day, and only found two dark creatures that were alone. Until now, I haven’t even built a building.”

Jefferson: “Goddess above, you’ve killed at least a few dark creatures. I was too unlucky. I was teleported to the nest of a group of Skeleton Soldiers, and almost got killed by those Skeleton Soldiers. Fortunately, I ran faster. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to see me. Do any of you have any extra weapons that you can lend me? I’ve lost my weapon.”

Sophia said, “Sob, do any of you have food? I got three magic cores, but I didn’t get any food at all. If anyone is willing to give me a bite, I’m willing to give all the magic cores in my hands to him.”

Seeing that everyone was complaining on the parchment, Thomas suddenly felt that he was quite lucky.

Although he had encountered many dark creatures, he had also obtained a lot of magic cores. Moreover, he had established a small camp.

Among the same batch of teleporters, he seemed to be the best one.

Thomas thought as he chewed on the chicken leg that was slightly cold.


“Oh right, they seem to lack food. I can exchange some food for some magic cores.”

Thinking of this, Thomas wrote on the parchment, “Which one of you wants to eat? I have some drumsticks here. One magic core for one drumstick. If you want to buy them, hurry up and sell them.”

Actually, Thomas still had a lot of drumsticks in his hands. They were piled as high as a hill.

O’Neill and Arya did not like to eat drumsticks, so they had a lot left. They could be used to exchange for magic cores.

Once Thomas’ news was posted, it immediately caused a huge uproar.

Andy: “One magic core for one drumstick. Did I hear it wrong? Are you serious?”

Jefferson: “Drumstick. Thomas, can you lend me a drumstick? When I have the magic cores, I will return it to you. I have already found a Skeleton Soldier that is alone. If there is a drumstick to eat, I will have the strength to kill it.”

Sophia said, “Hurry up and give me the drumstick. I’ll give you all the magic cores.”

[Sophia has made a deal with you.]

The goatskin paper prompted.

Two small magic arrays appeared on the goatskin paper. Beside the magic array were the heads of Sophia and Thomas.

On Sophia’s side of the magic array, there were already three level 1 magic cores.

Seeing this, Thomas also placed the three drumsticks on the magic array on his side.

The drumsticks and the magic cores switched positions.

[Transaction successful.]

Three level 1 white magic cores appeared in Thomas’s hands.

“It’s really magical.”

This was Thomas’s first time using such a magic array to teleport items, and he felt that it was exceptionally novel.

Meanwhile, Sophia was chewing on the drumsticks in her hands.

Sophia said, “Goddess, why is the drumstick so delicious? Even at the banquet in the Duke’s mansion, I have never eaten such a delicious drumstick. Thomas, why didn’t I know that you had this ability before? If I had known earlier, I would have hired you to be my personal chef and cook drumsticks for me every day.”

“Sophia, is what you said true? Thomas really has drumsticks, and they are even more delicious than the drumsticks in the Duke’s mansion?” Andy didn’t believe it.

His family and the Duke’s mansion had an extraordinary relationship, and they often went to the Duke’s mansion for meals.

He knew all the dishes in the Duke’s mansion like the back of his hands.

The chicken legs in the Duke’s mansion were the best in the entire main city. Could there be chicken legs in the world that were even more delicious than the Duke’s mansion? He did not believe it.

“Are you doubting the taste of a Princess? If you don’t believe it, why don’t you go and change one yourself?” Sophia was Prince Philip’s daughter. Before the apocalypse, she was also a famous gourmet in the main city. Her words carried a lot of weight.

“Alright, I’ll try it. Thomas, I’ll give you a magic core in exchange for a drumstick.”

Andy and Thomas made a deal.

Thomas naturally did not reject anyone and completed the deal with Andy.

Andy took a bite of the drumstick in his hand with suspicion and was immediately shocked.

How could there be such a delicious drumstick in the world?

In the blink of an eye, Andy ate the whole drumstick. He almost chewed the bones.

“One more!” Andy gave the magic core in his hand to Thomas.

He put the construction of the camp and the killing of the dark creatures to the back of his mind. These were not as important as eating the drumstick.

“Andy, the drumsticks are really so delicious?” Anthony, who had waited for a long time without any news, could not sit still anymore and asked Andy.

“I swear to the Goddess that I have never eaten such delicious drumsticks. I will go and kill the dark creatures now. Today, I will kill ten, not twenty dark creatures. Thomas, save the drumsticks for me! Anyway, I will go and kill the dark creatures.”

“Is it really so magical?”

Seeing Andy’s words, everyone curiously started to trade with Thomas.

They all had some magic cores in their hands, so it was still acceptable for them to exchange one for a drumstick.

Moreover, a large number of them were born in rich families, although no one was given a bag of bread before they set off.

But for those who were used to luxury, dry bread was not as delicious as chicken drumsticks.

One after another, they exchanged with Thomas.

Thomas also did not refuse as long as they were willing to take out magic cores for as many as possible.

As a result, in the time it took for breakfast, Thomas was surrounded by magic cores.

Thomas was shocked.

Was it so easy to exchange food for magic cores?

Thomas counted the magic cores. There were more than 200 of them.

The number of magic cores he obtained yesterday was less than 30.


The difference between the two was nearly seven times!

In an instant, Thomas had the thought of not killing the dark creatures and selling the chicken drumsticks instead.

However, this thought only went through his mind once before it was suppressed by Thomas.

This was the wilderness, and in the end, strength spoke for itself. Without strength, no amount of wealth could be kept.

Moreover, he also needed enough chicken drumsticks to stabilize his trading network.

It seemed that he would have to go out and search for traces of those dark creatures today.

Last night, he had not slept well because of the dark creatures around him.

‘Since you come to disturb me at night, I will disturb you during the day.’

Thomas was determined to clear out the dark creatures around him so that no more dark creatures would disturb him at night.

However, before leaving, Thomas decided to build the wall of the camp first.
