Zhao Hai noticed that as soon as the things were thrown into the sea, the Shrimp Tribesmen immediately caught them and transported them to the coral reef.
Many of the Shrimp Tribesmen's eyes turned red when they saw these things. One must know that these things belonged to the Human Race, they were definitely rare things in the sea.
The Fishman Race was also a very hierarchical society. They were just like the Beastmen, everything was based on strength. On the other hand, the Shrimp Tribe was almost the same as the Beastmen. Just like the Fragrant Pig Tribe and the Barbarian Bull Tribe, they were at the bottom of the hierarchy. They were on the verge of becoming slaves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lived so close to the Human Race.
Tribes like them had to provide a large amount of supplies to the Fishmen every year. Otherwise, they would be demoted to slaves and become food for the Fishmen.
When it comes to barbarism, the Beastmen couldn't compare to the Fishmen. At the very least, the Beastmen didn't eat humans. On the other hand, the Fishmen were different. Once a tribe fell into slavery, then whether it was humans or beasts, they would all become food for the Fishmen. Such a tribe had a name in the Fishmen. They weren't called slaves, they were called food.
Although the Shrimp Tribesmen were busy all year round, and although there were countless treasures in the sea, they still had to pay a lot of taxes every year. Sometimes, they simply couldn't collect enough to pay the taxes. In the end, they had no choice but to rob the Humans. Fighting the Humans in the sea gave them an innate advantage.
In the Fishmen, Human goods were very rare. For a tribe like the Shrimp Tribe, as long as they handed over a small amount of Human goods, they would be able to pay a year's worth of taxes. Because of this, if their harvest wasn't good, then they would rob the Humans and hand over some Human goods.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be done for a long time. After all, the Fishmen and the Humans had an agreement. If they were to rob the Humans and cause a war, then their small Shrimp Tribe would immediately become food.
Because of his contact with the Human Race, Liben had some understanding of the Human Race's prices. The pearl that he just gave Zhao Hai was the one that had the best appearance. This was something that couldn't be helped. In the Fishman Race, the ones that produced the best pearls were the Shell Race. Most of the pearls were in the hands of the Shell Race. And this pearl was something that Liben inadvertently obtained when he was young.
He took out this pearl to see if Zhao Hai was honest or not. If Zhao Hai's price was reasonable, then they would make Zhao Hai their merchant. If Zhao Hai's price wasn't reasonable, then they would sink Zhao Hai's ship. They would rather make this transaction than to be cheated.
It had to be said that these foreign races were just so direct sometimes. In their world, good and evil seemed to be so simple. Enemies and friends could be decided with just a few words.
Zhao Hai's performance made Liben very satisfied. Liben was already prepared to cooperate with Zhao Hai for a long time. He immediately gave some instructions to his people before he floated on the water's surface.
Zhao Hai received the pearl. Before long, everything on the ship was unloaded. Zhao Hai turned to Libben and said, "Respected Patriarch, I have some Human food here. Do you want it?" Libben nodded and said, "Yes.
Liben smiled faintly and said, "Of course I want it. I'll use these things to exchange for it." Then he waved his hand as his Patriarch took out a pile of things.
When Zhao Hai saw these things, he couldn't help but smile. This was because these things were Magic Beasts, aquatic plants, and corals.
Zhao Hai smiled as he looked at the Magic Beasts and said, "These things are very good. I can exchange them. Patriarch, I'll be taking these things first." Then with a wave of his hand, the things in the hands of the Shrimp Tribesmen were carried by the water to Zhao Hai's ship.
Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as a large amount of food was sent to the sea. After the Shrimp Tribesmen carried the food away, Zhao Hai turned to Liben and said, "Patriarch, today's transaction will end here. May I know when Patriarch will be able to trade with people again?"
Liben smiled and said, "Whenever Mister comes, we'll trade with Mister. Mister can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's good. Then I'll be taking my leave." Then Zhao Hai gave Liben a bow before he led the fleet away.
At this time, Crag went to Liben's side and excitedly said, "Patriarch, these things are enough for us to pay our taxes. It seems like this Human didn't deceive us."
Libben looked at Libben and smiled, "Libben, it's all thanks to you this time. This Human Merchant is very upright, he's willing to cooperate with us. However, what we need to do now is to contact the other races and have them cooperate with us." Libben smiled and said, "Libben, we have to thank you this time.
Crag was puzzled, "Why Patriarch? Wouldn't that be too easy for them? "
Liben sighed and said, "Little Hui, you're too naive. Although these goods are good, if we're the only ones who can get them, then it would be too conspicuous. The benefits are too great, we can't swallow them all. Only by pulling in the other races can we truly unite and prevent ourselves from being exterminated. Moreover, this way, we'll have more things to exchange with the Merchant. This way, our cooperation with the Merchant will last for a long time."
Crag nodded as if he understood. Liben didn't say anything else, so he waved his hand and led the Shrimp Tribesmen back to the reef.
At this time, Zhao Hai was inside the Space. The aquatic plants that the Shrimp Tribesmen gave him weren't ordinary, they were edible. Zhao Hai even saw kelp in them. The majority of the aquatic Magic Beasts were Shrimp Tribesmen. It seems like the Shrimp Tribesmen were very good at raising shrimp.
Zhao Hai received these things into the Space. Unsurprisingly, the Space didn't level up, the level of these things was still too low.
However, this time, Zhao Hai really made a profit. He obtained a fist-sized pearl, which wasn't something that could be exchanged with his ships. And now, he also obtained more than a dozen beautiful corals. These things were very popular in the continent. This time, Zhao Hai really made a big profit.
Although his trade with the Fishmen was fair, because of the scarcity of Fishmen products, these things could be sold for a high price.
Looking at the beautiful corals in the space, Laura couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness. These things were really too beautiful.
Zhao Hai looked at Laura's appearance and smiled faintly, "Alright, if you like them, then you can keep them. With other things, we wouldn't have suffered a loss this time."
When Laura heard Zhao Hai, she was happy at first, but then she shook her head and said, "Forget it, we'll give these things to Charlie. Although we don't lack money, we still need to maintain a good relationship with Charlie. Right, Brother Hai, how do you plan to deal with those Magic Beasts? The heads of those prawns aren't small, they're very rare in the continent. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We'll raise them inside the Space and let them breed. When we return, we'll take them out of the Space and freeze them."
Laura nodded and said, "We can't go back right now. We've only been out for a few days. If we go back, Charlie would be suspicious. I think we should look for an island to mine some stones. We did this last time, but because of the matter with the Shrimp Tribe, we couldn't do it."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, we'll look for an island and have them mine stones there. Then we'll go and see Little Jin. He's really comfortable right now."
Little Jin was still on Ape Island, but his current life was much better than before. Because of his good relationship with Cai 'er, Cai' er specially left a piece of red soil in the Space for Little Jin to grow all kinds of fruits that he likes to eat. Zhao Hai didn't oppose this situation, he also liked Little Jin very much.
Zhao Hai didn't want Little Jin to be away from his people for a long time. No matter what, his people needed him as their Patriarch. In any case, Ape Island had a transmission point, so they could go there at any time.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai looked for an uninhabited island according to their previous discussion. The island had nothing on it, only some stones and some weeds. It was just right for Zhao Hai to mine stones.
Zhao Hai anchored the ship near the island and released the undead to mine stones. Then he went to Ape Island with Laura and the others.
Although the gorillas on Ape Island were very scary, they weren't as cute as Little Jin. However, after interacting with the gorillas for a long time, Zhao Hai discovered that the gorillas were very cooperative. They had the intelligence of 5-6 year old children, they were very happy to be with each other.
Zhao Hai also wanted to build a base on Ape Island. These past few days, they had been strolling around Ape Island for quite some time.
Needless to say, they found a very good place. On the island, besides the water cave and the Goldmetal Fruit Tree, there was also another cave. This cave was very well hidden, even Little Jin didn't know about it. This was because the entrance to the cave was actually a hole on top of a big tree. The breadfruit tree was very big, and the breadfruit tree was located on the periphery of the island. Little Jin and the others rarely went there to pick fruits. The breadfruit tree had a diameter of more than 50 meters, and the hole in the middle had a diameter of more than 30 meters. Below the tree hole was a huge cave. Besides the tree hole, there was also another cave that was underwater. Moreover, this cave was connected to the ship's entrance. However, this cave was underwater, so Zhao Hai and the others didn't notice it before.
