"Dad, I sold it for $200,000."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm serious. I really sold it for $200,000."
Bant's mouth was wide open, his face filled with shock.
"Dad, use your phone to search Mara Supermarket for nameless red wine."
Bant started searching for related information. As expected, a lot of information and news popped up.
Five days ago, Mara Supermarket had put 40 bottles of wine on the shelves. They were specially approved by the Sacramento city government. They were sold out as soon as they went on sale.
There was still a small amount circulating on the black market. The highest price was already close to $300,000 …
"Ken, this nameless wine is Chen's gift to us?"
"That's right."
Bant's mind was in a mess. Mara Supermarket sold a bottle for $60,000. The average price on the black market was above $200,000. The highest was close to $300,000.
Chen Zhao had given him five bottles. Including the one he'd already drunk and the one Ken had taken away, there were only two left.
Bant didn't know what to say anymore.
He didn't expect Chen Zhao to give him something so expensive as a gift either.
Of course, he was also conflicted. Should he sell it or drink it?
If he sold someone else's gift, it would be very rude.
But if he drank it, it would be too extravagant.
Anyway, Bant couldn't drink it.
Bant called Chen Zhao. "Hey, Chen, did you make the wine in Mara Supermarket?"
"Uh … Yeah, you know about it?"
"Ken just took a bottle, but his boss bought it for $200,000." Bant smiled bitterly. "Now that I know about it, I really don't know what to do."
"Since it's a gift to you, you have the right to choose," Chen Zhao said. "But I suggest you don't sell it so quickly. As long as you keep it well, the longer it stays, the better it tastes. You can sell it when you need money in the future."
"Okay, I understand." Bant was very grateful.
"But tell Ken not to leak this news."
"Okay, I know. I'll tell Ken."
…
"Chen, do you think we should expand the vineyard?"
"Don't expand. We're selling high-quality wine. The more we produce, the lower the price. The profit won't be as good as now," Chen Zhao said. "Look at those wineries. They're all huge, but they only brew a limited amount each year."
Fali was overjoyed these few days. After all, it was her first time experiencing the joy of making money.
The 40 bottles of red wine were sold out on the same day they were put on the shelves.
Two million four hundred thousand dollars, and the city of Sacramento gave him a tax break.
This was also the result of Winnip's negotiation. Now, Winnip's attitude towards the Sacramento government was in a strong phase.
Now, Sacramento had completely transformed into a tourist city, and all of this was brought about by daydreams.
As long as Daydream was in Winnip's hands, Sacramento would be in Winnip's hands.
This wasn't just for show. The value of Daydream was no longer limited to its own value.
The indirect economy of daydreams had already exceeded its own value.
Just as Chen Zhao and Fali were lying on the chair, Gerlyn stood up unsteadily.
Chen Zhao and Fali were both stunned. "Gerlyn can stand up now?"
But soon, little Gerlyn's short legs bent and she lay on the ground again.
She could only stand up for a short while, but Chen Zhao and Fali were both very happy.
"Chen, why is the older the red wine, the better?"
Chen Zhao thought about it. "Actually, that's a mistake. It's not that the older the better. In fact, the best storage time for most red wine is three to eight months. Only a few wines need a longer fermentation period because of the grapes chosen. For example, our little Gerlyn needs around 20 years to grow up, but Simba and Nana only need a few years to grow up."
"Some wineries use vines that have been cultivated for generations or even dozens of generations. Their vines are the winery's most precious assets. Usually, they're not allowed to leave."
"You can think of Gerlyn's growth period from the fermentation of red wine. What else can you think of?"
"There are too many things to compare," Chen Zhao said casually. "For example …"
Chen Zhao's heart jumped. He suddenly thought of a problem.
Old Turtle had once said that Chen Zhao's magic power was at the bottleneck of Ultimate Transformation.
Chen Zhao had always had a vague idea about this.
But now, he suddenly thought of the fermentation process of wine.
Was Ultimate Transformation similar to the fermentation of wine?
If this was true, then he should consider how to "ferment" magic power.
The process of Ultimate Transformation was the fermentation of magic power.
"Chen, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what to eat tonight."
Fali rolled her eyes. Ever since the underlings came to the house, they hadn't worried about this.
Chen Zhao had been thinking about how to Ultimate Transformation his magic power.
He would ask Old Turtle later.
At night, Chen Zhao entered the River Map.
Every time he entered the River Map, Old Turtle was playing games, and he was always playing games with his avatar.
"Old Turtle, isn't the Ultimate Transformation similar to the fermentation of wine?"
"Huh, you actually figured it out?"
"It's such a simple question. Why did you have to hide it before and make me figure it out myself?" Chen Zhao looked at Old Turtle, indignant.
"Don't novels say you have to figure it out yourself?"
"Is there no other reason?"
"No."
"Then how do I ferment the magic power in my body?"
"Extreme environment," Old Turtle said.
"Extreme how?"
"It's either extreme heat or extreme cold. But in most cases, if you're in these two extreme environments, you'll either be burned to death or frozen to death."
"The extreme you're talking about, don't tell me you're burning or throwing it into an icehouse?"
"Look at Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. He mastered the Fiery Eyes in Taishang Laotzu's alchemy furnace."
"You're getting more and more ridiculous. That's a myth and also a novel."
"You can also choose an environment one level lower. For example, go to the hottest or coldest place in the world and stay there for three to five years. Then the fermentation process will be complete."
Chen Zhao's heart jumped. "Wait, I can create an extremely hot or extremely cold environment. Right here, in the River Map."
Since wine could be fermented in the River Map, Old Turtle could cultivate here for thousands of years.
Chen Zhao should be able to do the same, right?
"Most importantly, you're thinking about extreme heat? Or extreme cold? "
"Is there a difference?"
