Chapter 749: Chapter 515, Channel Dating_1
On the other end of the Sound-transmitting Shell was the orc slave trader with whom Fang Hao had not communicated for a long time.
The rabbit and fox maids who now cleaned the territory had all originally been purchased from the slave trader.
Later, as the territory developed rapidly, it was no longer lacking in manpower.
As a result, no more slaves were bought from the slave trader.
This time, however, he planned to purchase some more members of the Rabbit Clan and Fox Clan as employees for the factory Li Rong was building and to select some intelligent ones to learn accounting from He Yueyi.
The reason why he still wanted to buy rabbits and foxes was not just because these two races were gentle and intelligent.
More importantly, it was easier to control and command those who came as slaves.
If there weren’t enough rabbits and foxes, he would consider filling the gap with humans.
However, if he chose humans, he would have to take into account the surveillance of Silver Wing City.

After waiting for a while,
The voice of the slave trader came from the Sound-transmitting Shell again.
“Dear human friend, I just checked the slaves we recently captured. There are more than 20 women from the Rabbit Clan and Fox Clan. If you want to change things up a bit, we also have some good Rabbit Clan men here that we can sell to you at a discount. We’re old friends already, so of course, I won’t charge you more.”
The slave trader’s tone was as greasy as ever.
He was trying to mimic the tone and expression of a human merchant, from an orc’s perspective.
Fang Hao felt a bit disappointed after listening to him.
Only just over 20 people – this was far from enough according to his plan.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask about the price.
“What is the price? Winter is coming and there are no shortage of refugees. If the price is right, I can consider your business.” Fang Hao said into the Sound-transmitting Shell.
After a pause, the slave trader said, “Of course, I have never overcharged you. Women for 8 Warfire Coins each, men for 5 each. How about it? This is really a fair price.”
Fang Hao thought for a moment, then stopped a passing rabbit maid.
He gently asked her, “How much did I pay to buy you?”
The rabbit maid was stunned. She thought about it and said, “Master, you paid 10 Warfire Coins to buy me. I remember clearly that you took out a bag of Gold Coins and bought all 42 of us.
That time was the most he had ever bought at once.
All of a sudden, the gloomy city was filled with life.
“Ah, right, I remember now,” Fang Hao snapped his fingers, recalling the event.
The maid smiled and left to do her work since Fang Hao didn’t need anything else.
It was clear that the maids were all in a good mood today.
Although their makeup skills were still not expert, they were all happy.
In their freshly sent clothing, they hopped and pranced around.
Fang Hao planned to negotiate a further reduction in price. Picking up the Sound-transmitting Shell, he said, “Previously, you would kill off the rabbit men or use them as laborers. Selling them to me now for 5 Warfire Coins, you’re still making a profit. I want a fairer price, and we can continue collaborating afterwards.”
There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a tone of reluctance, “Then… then women for 7 coins, and men for 4 coins. We’re friends, after all!”
Jesus, he only lowered the price by one coin after all.
Of course, Fang Hao didn’t plan to haggle with him any further.
He said straightforwardly, “Fine, I’ll take them all. But I need more slaves, both males and females. Do you have any other sources?”
The reply came quickly this time, “Really? Well, then, how many people do you need?”
“Around 600 people, more is okay too.” Fang Hao answered.
“Oh my gosh, esteemed friend, please wait, I must inform our Clan Leader right away.”
“Okay, I’m waiting for the good news.”
After ending the conversation, the Sound-transmitting Shell fell silent.
The slave trader probably went to inform the Clan Leader of the news.
In the orc community, only those with significant influence could travel around capturing slaves.
Otherwise, they would have been wiped out long ago.
There was no news from the other end.
Upstairs, however, faint footsteps could be heard. Eira, dressed in her nightgown, was slowly coming down the stairs, rubbing her eyes.
Seeing Fang Hao sitting downstairs, her sleepy face immediately broke into a bright smile.
She walked down the stairs to his side and sat directly in his lap.
She softly said, “How did you get up so early? I didn’t even notice.”
Eira was more daring now than before.
Previously, she would never have been so intimate in front of the maids.
“You were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t want to wake you.” Then he whispered in her ear, “You were a little crazy last night, so it’s normal to be tired.”
Eira’s face immediately turned red. She glanced nervously at the maid standing nearby.
Seeing that the maid hadn’t noticed, her voice was soft and muffled as she said, “Did you like it, Master?”
“I like it.”
“Ehehe!”
Eira joyfully smiled, gave him a kiss on his cheek, then got up and left.
…
Not long after Eira left,
Breakfast was brought out, and Eira went upstairs to wake up a still-drowsing Anjia.
Anjia’s eyes were half-closed, and she looked like she was sleepwalking.
The Red General stood on her shoulder, standing straight and tall. Eira led her downstairs.
After a simple breakfast,
The Sound-transmitting Shell that was left aside again gave out a signal.
Fang Hao picked it up and put it to his ear.
An unfamiliar voice speaking in orc language said, “Are you sure you have enough money to buy more than 600 slaves?”
