Chapter 177: Trouble from Noble Kids (1/2)

After that little episode with the shadow mice, Sam checked up on Philip for the next few days.

He heard that he is beating quite some people up and they even included the noble children of the southern star.

Sometimes, the complicated problems have the easiest solutions. From what he observed from Philip his guesses about his condition were almost right and thus his method of beating him up worked miracles.

Now, the battalion is also quite stable. The squad training and company training are going well and even Sam is not supervising, the soldiers didn't slack off.

After all, who would want to reject the progress in their abilities by slacking off.

Now, the squads are training even more rigorously and now they are targeting the Great realm cultivators. Of course, it is not easy to defeat them but they are mostly trying to hold their ground against them.

It is not impossible to defeat them, but the Great realm cultivators in the military are not average joes, they have high experience. So, the fights are pretty difficult and the squads have only one goal and that is to increase the amount of time they battled and also increase the damage they cause to the opponent.

They are quite confident if two squads participate, they would be able to defeat the Great realm cultivator.

After a few days of observation, Sam felt that he could move towards the next projects in his schedule.

First one is to make uniforms for the battalion members.

Second, some advanced preparations for the business phase of the competition and this has something to do with the impact crystal.

He entered the tower and looked at the tonnes of impact crystals on the floor.

He is almost getting a headache after looking at them, but remembering the general's face and all the tricks he pulled, Sam didn't feel that it is that difficult.

All he has to do is make the process easier by employing different things and the best thing for him right now is the methane gas and building a furnace that can help him process this.

But looking at the amount of gas consumption, Sam is thinking if he should increase the intake of fire type beasts so the he could make their faeces useful.

So, he went out of the camp and after looking around in the town and finding out that there is not much he can do, he only has one choice and that is going to golden-horse trading company.

He placed an order for a large number of Blazing earth Bulls. Even though, other species might give him similar gas or even produce methane. Feeding and grooming this Blazing earth bulls is quite easy as they are low level and their faeces quantity is high.

The representative is quite puzzled about the location of the Blazing earth bull and Sam gladly told about the Lava Rock village.

After hearing the distance and the amount of money in the transaction involved, the manage of the Golden-Horse trading company who is familiar with Sam came out.

After making sure that Sam is not making fun and quite serious, the manager asked curiously.

”May I know what you are going to do with these beasts?”

”I like their meat. Is there a problem?”

When Sam answered like this, he didn't know what to say. Then he coughed awkwardly and asked something else.

”Artisan Sam, are you interested in doing a long-term business with us?”

”Like what?”

”Energy Cells.”

Sam smirked and said. ”Why ask now? Did the results from the experiments didn't yield any results? I thought you would be angry at me for the damage caused by the resulting explosion, instead you are asking me to do business?”

When he heard those words, Manager was turned speechless.

Because, the resulting explosion indeed made some serious damage to them. An artisan, formation master and an inscription master were heavily injured due to the explosion. But he didn't dare to complain to Sam.

After all, Sam made the payment using those energy cell, but they tried to duplicate it and failed. It is already asking for trouble for trying to copy a Scholar artisan's creation and make money. The artisan tower isn't there for nothing.

But if they succeeded, they would have a bargaining chip with Sam. Since, they would already be familiar with the making process, they can use it to coerce Sam to cooperate with them.

Now, that he heard these words after failure and losses, he was thoroughly embarrassed. That means, Sam knew they are going to do this and they are going to face that explosion.

Sam didn't mind his expression and said.
