Chapter 433 (2/2)

“Tigress, are there any auctions nearby?” Ye Lang wanted to be prodigal again. He had once again accumulated enough wealth to spend. After ‘robbing’ his patients of money at the House of Confusion, he carried with him substantial piles of gold.

And to think he’d given everything he had away at some point- only to earn it back! Was he a prodigal son or a businessman now?!

No one could say for sure!

All Ye Lang wanted to do was to be as prodigal as he could so he could stuff his space ring full of things. It was too empty now!

“No…” Tigress shook her head. This was the tiger tribal lands, how could there be an auction here? Only humans ran auctions.

Most of the beastmen enjoyed bartering here. They exchanged with each other for things they wanted without a fixed price. With a culture like this, how could there be an auction? It was impossible!

“I’m so bored, let’s go to the market…” Ye Lang said, preparing to leave for the market.

The market was a great place where people often brought what they didn’t need to exchange for something they need. Ye Lang often found these exchanged objects very useful even if their owners didn’t.

Hence, Ye Lang spent a lot of time at the market!

“Uncle, uncle! This one, this one, I want this one! What? I have nothing to give you, I’ll give you gold coins…”

Ye Lang had discovered something interesting again. He didn’t have anything to exchange but thank goodness the market accepted gold coins too.

Gold was a universal currency. Anyone from any era anywhere accepted it!

Other than goods exchange, gold was naturally accepted in exchange for goods and services.

There was also an official department in charge of buying up goods the tribespeople did not want. They would then sell it to humans and invest the money in public spending.

The beastmen had a clean government with no signs of greed. Take a look at Tigress’ family. Her father was the chief of the tribe and yet he lived in a regular house like everyone else.

“Woah, this… I want this!” Ye Lang’s eyes were shining as something caught his eye as if he’d just found treasure.

Tigress and Athena turned to find that he was looking at a fur coat stall. These coats were all of the highest quality.

According to Tigress’ understanding of Ye Lang, he had no interest in the actual product. It was likely he thought it was an alchemy ingredient.

“Boss, how much is this?” Ye Lang pointed at a coat.

“This? What do you have in exchange?” asked the stall owner.

“I only have gold coins!” he replied honestly.

“Gold coins? Give me one gold coin then.” This seller seemed to not understand how much a gold coin was worth either. He’d heard one coat could be worth one gold coin.

What he didn’t know was that his coats were all very high quality and he could’ve charged Ye Lang a hundred gold coins!
