After midnight, there was still one more chapter.
These things looked like a lot, but the things that could be turned into money were very few. Corn and oil fruit had the highest yield, but these two things couldn't be turned into money immediately. Corn wasn't wanted by people, and oil fruit needed to be turned into oil before people would want to buy it. Moreover, no one would want to buy so many at once.
Eggplant and cabbage were both vegetables. When Zhao Hai first planted them, he only wanted to improve his life by having two more dishes in the Space. He was afraid that these two things wouldn't be bought by people in the continent, so they couldn't be turned into money.
Wheat was even more so. Not to mention the low yield, if he wanted to turn it into noodles in the continent, then it would need to be processed. If he only bought wheat, then he wouldn't be able to get much money.
Right now, he could only command the radishes and hope that they could be sold for a good price. Now that there were only 600 gold coins left in the Space, Zhao Hai didn't plant any more radishes. If he did, then he was afraid that he would have to spend all his gold coins to buy more seeds.
Zhao Hai was prepared to harvest the corn tomorrow and then plant the cauliflower. Although the cauliflower seeds were only enough to plant 2 mu of land, he still needed to plant them. After planting 2 mu of cauliflower, he would plant 2 mu of wheat. In any case, he still had 3000 jin of wheat in his warehouse, which could be used as seeds.
Zhao Hai didn't want to use the Space to plant wheat. Wheat could only be made into flour, and flour wasn't very expensive in the continent. Zhao Hai could plant more expensive things in the Space, and then buy flour to eat. This would be more cost-effective.
However, Zhao Hai had a habit. If he wanted to plant corn, then he would plant corn in 4 mu of land. Because of this, he would rather plant wheat in the remaining 2 mu of land after planting cauliflower than corn.
Right now, the things that he could plant were too few. On the road, Zhao Hai didn't collect any other seeds. This was because there were people watching them all the way. If he collected those seeds, then it would be very strange. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't act recklessly.
Zhao Hai had already thought about it. If he wanted to collect seeds, then he couldn't rely on himself. Even if he was powerful, how many seeds could he collect? Furthermore, he would be discovered by others. It was not worth it. He planned to buy all the seeds he could buy after he got the money. Then, he would issue a mission in the tavern and ask the mercenaries and adventurers to find them for him.
In this world, as long as you have money, you can make mercenaries and adventurers do anything. You can issue any mission you want. Even if you issue a mission to assassinate the king of the Aksu Empire, as long as you can afford it, there will be people willing to accept it. Of course, success or failure is another matter.
Zhao Hai sat in the hot spring, his mind constantly calculating these things. Now that his strength was not weak, but the funds he could use were too little. Moreover, his enemies were too strong, so Zhao Hai decided to keep a low profile.
Suddenly, a faint feeling of dizziness hit him. Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he shook his head and stood up. He was very dissatisfied with his current physical condition. He just soaked in the hot spring for a while and he already felt dizzy. His body was too f * cked up.
He stood up, picked up the towel next to him, and dried his body. He put it on and went to sleep. He walked to the bedside, picked up the kettle from the bedside, and poured himself a cup of keya. He sat on the bed and quietly took a sip.
Zhao Hai felt his body go soft. He knew that this was because he soaked in the hot spring for too long. However, he was too lazy to move right now. During this time, he was under too much pressure. Both outside and in his heart, he seemed to be living under pressure all the time.
Now that he was soaking in the hot spring, he suddenly felt disheartened. He didn't want to think about anything, he didn't want to think about anything. He just wanted to lie there quietly.
If he were to lie down like this, then he would have fallen asleep in a short time. However, today was an exception. He just lay there quietly. He didn't think about anything, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He didn't know how long he had been in this state, but Zhao Hai suddenly woke up. Although he didn't fall asleep, he really felt like he was awake.
Zhao Hai gently shook his head, shaking off the gloomy thoughts in his head. He didn't have time to be sad, he had too many things to do.
After calming down his emotions, Zhao Hai decided to have a good sleep. Tomorrow, they would go to Casa City. He really wanted to see what this city, known as the northern pearl of the Aksu Empire, looked like.
This was the first time that Zhao Hai would go to a big city after waking up. His heart was really looking forward to it. Although Adam had been living in the Aksu Empire's capital, which was the largest and most prosperous city in the empire, and Zhao Hai had also taken over Adam's memories, those memories were just like watching a movie in his mind. He felt that they weren't real. This time, he was really looking forward to going to Casa City.
After a night of silence, the slaves felt that they were sleeping soundly. Although the environment inside the Space was better than outside, there was no wind, and the temperature was stable. However, the feeling of sleeping in the open air made them feel uneasy.
The next morning, everyone woke up in high spirits. Most of the rooms here had hot springs, so the slaves took a good bath and slept soundly.
After eating breakfast, the slaves went back to the Space to learn how to read. On the other hand, Zhao Hai rode Alien and went straight to Casa City.
From Stony Mountain to Casa City, if one were to ride a carriage, it would take two days. However, Zhao Hai didn't ride a carriage, instead, they rode Alien. Alien's speed wasn't any worse than a galloping horse. After it leveled up, its speed seemed to have become even faster.
Horses would get tired from running, but Xenomorphs wouldn't. They would always move at the same speed, so their speed would be even faster.
After a little more than half a day, Zhao Hai arrived at Casa City. This was the first time that Zhao Hai was so close to Casa City. There were several mountains around Casa City. Obviously, in order to fit in with the mountains, Casa City didn't have a square wall like a traditional city, but rather a circular one.
There were a total of six groups and eighteen gates. The city walls were nearly thirty meters high and six meters thick. It was very majestic. The Purcell clan's banner was placed on top of the city walls. From time to time, a group of soldiers would walk past the city walls. The walls were half a person high, but they couldn't hide the heroic bearing of these soldiers. Their silver armor and weapons were shining with a cold light, showing that they were extraordinary.
Zhao Hai stood below the city walls and looked at the soldiers standing upright and the majestic city walls. He couldn't help but be amazed. On Earth, China had a lot of ancient city walls, but Zhao Hai hadn't been there before. Oil City was a completely new city, so it was impossible for it to have such a thing as a city wall.
Also, even if there were walls in ancient cities, those walls could only be used as decorations. You couldn't expect the walls to be able to withstand the attack of missiles. This way, the walls would naturally lose their imposing manner.
But here, the city walls were really used to defend against the enemy. Standing below the city walls, he could feel the imposing manner of the iron walls. This made Zhao Hai marvel.
Zhao Hai had already received Alien. This was the rule of a general city, especially a big city like Casa City. About five hundred meters away from the city walls was a security area. If you didn't have any malicious intent towards the city, then it was best to receive your summons. Otherwise, the garrison would think that you had malicious intent towards the city and would likely attack you.
Although Zhao Hai didn't know about this, Green knew. Therefore, about five hundred meters away from Casa City, he had Zhao Hai receive Alien. Although they wanted to attract everyone's attention, that didn't mean that they wanted to cause trouble. As long as they kept a high profile, it was fine. There was no need to cause trouble. If they really fought, then they might expose their secrets. They had a lot of secrets.
Green didn't understand why Zhao Hai stopped at the city walls. Although the big hat of the black robe blocked Zhao Hai's movements, Green could still clearly feel that Zhao Hai was looking at the city walls. Such an action would easily arouse the suspicion of the garrison. If the garrison didn't see that he was a magician, then they would have already questioned him.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai looked for a moment and recovered. Then he followed Green and Meg into the city. Merine didn't come out with them. Zhao Hai didn't want others to know too much about his strength.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and walked towards the city gate. He found that there were two big boxes at the city gate with the word tax written on them. It seemed that these boxes were specially used to collect taxes. Therefore, people who entered and left the city had to put money into the boxes, otherwise they would be stopped.
However, Zhao Hai didn't put money into the boxes. This was because he remembered that Green had told him that magicians like him didn't need to put money into the boxes. This was because the state had regulations that magicians were exempt from taxes.
Of course, it didn't mean that you could be exempt from taxes just by wearing a magic robe. You had to go to the Magician's Guild to register and get a magician's badge. Only then could you be exempt from taxes. If you didn't have a badge, then it wouldn't work.
However, Zhao Hai was an exception. Although he didn't have a magician's badge, he was sitting on Alien. Alien had already shown his identity as a magician. If the garrison dared to stop him, then they were too blind.
There were a lot of black magicians on the continent. They didn't go to the Magician's Guild to register. However, besides Montenegro Fortress, no one dared to pretend to be a black magician. Therefore, in general cities, there was no place to stop people wearing black magic robes, even if they didn't have a badge.
Green reminded Zhao Hai of this because he was afraid that Zhao Hai didn't know what a black magician was. If Zhao Hai was too gentle, then he wouldn't look like a black magician. On the contrary, it would arouse people's suspicion.
