The food that had been harvested came to a total of 2369 units.

There were also various items such as ape teeth, fur, and other materials.

Su Hao took out 2000 units of the elite ape meat and put them on the [Trading Channel].

[One unit of elite ape meat for 10,000 gold coins.]

[Special elite-grade ape meat. Eating it can strengthen one’s physical fitness and increase one’s strength.]

Before putting it up for sale, tSu Hao had eaten a unit of ape meat and saw his energy value increase almost instantly by one point.

One could see that elite ape meat was very worth buying.

They could even be exchanged for more gold coins.

However, Su Hao knew that his popularity in the [Trading Channel] had waned a little, firstly because many of the castle lords’ strength had increased, and secondly because more and more castle lords were starting to sell food.

There was no longer a shortage of food, and expensive food became a thing of the past.

During this period, a city lord named Han Yan frequently sold food at low prices.

The demand for Su Hao’s food dropped significantly as a result.

In order to maintain a high sales volume, Su Hao did not increase his selling price for the elite grade ape meat and kept it at the original price of 10,000 gold coins.

He knew that people would still be buying it even without lowering the price of the gold coins.

After all, he was offering elite-grade ape meat that no one else had.

Eating it could increase one’s level-up speed, so as soon as the news was released, all the lords were dumbfounded.

In addition, many expressed their surprise at Su Hao’s offer, because the amount of meat he had put up for sale was simply too much!

No one had ever placed so much food for sale at once, and Su Hao had just offered 2000 units!

Even Han Yan had only offered 300 to 400 units.

Han Yan’s food was only level one goblin meat, which served only to fill one’s stomach.

What Su Hao placed on the market was level five and even level six ape meat!

The sheer quality was almost five levels higher!

Was there anyone in the entire continent who could surpass Su Hao?

2,000 units was a ridiculous amount, because even 1,000 units of food was difficult enough to achieve!

Those A-, S-, and even SS- and SSS-Grade castle lords could only load up to 300-400 units of food in a day.

Su Hao, on the other hand, could offer 2,000 units, and every single unit was elite-grade ape meat!

[Dear! Come over and take a look at God!!]

[Who are you, o amazing God! Can you tell us your name?]

[2000 units of food. How many wild beasts would that take?]

[More than 200, probably!]

[Not necessarily, though. It’s an elite beast we’re talking about. The difficulty of killing one is much higher than killing 10 or 20, and one might even say that 10 or 20 wild beasts are still inferior to a single elite beast!]

[Unbelievable!]

[Goodness me! What’s this guy’s name? Why can’t I see it? I can’t even see the name of his castle!]

[You’re not the only one. I can’t see it either. It’s a privacy setting set by this big shot, but I suspect that he’s Su Hao!]

[You’re right! Su Hao, Han Yan, and Qin Shuang’s names are the only ones in this worldwho are well-known to everyone in the chat channel. The only one who can offer up much food has to be one of them!]

[That might not necessarily be the case! Perhaps some lords were dark horses and never showed themselves in the past! Just take Han Yan, for example! He’s always kept a low profile and only appeared recently!]

[I can’t believe it!]

[Dear heavens! Just how terrifying is this big shot and his castle?!]

[I killed a total of 10 wild beasts today, but the food I got was less than 10 units. It’s not even a fraction of this guy’s food. Just imagine the sheer terror!]

[According to my investigation, elite monsters are at least level 5!]

[Most of the castle lords’ troops are only at level one or two, with a small number at rank three. It’s basically impossible to hunt elite bosses above rank five!]

[But this big shot did it!]

[I have to say, although this big boss is a profiteer and I thought he was a piece of sh*t at first, I still think he’s a piece of sh*t now! But he’s a strong piece of sh*t at least!]

[High-quality ape meat that can actually strengthen one’s physical fitness and increase one’s strength! I want it, and I want it badly!]

[Buy it! Buying everything! It’s just gold coins! If you can buy food that can increase your energy value and help in leveling up, then it is not a waste at all!]

[Spirit Flower Garden is shocked!]

[Blue Fatty’s Castle: I want to become the big shot’s citizen! Isn’t it nice to live a good life with a big shot? I don’t even need to develop my own strength! I don’t want to work hard at all, and I surrender right here!]

[Silver Castle: +1!]

[Wild Rabbit Castle: +1!]

…

In that split second, many castle lords with high-level and top-tier troops emerged.

They all added Su Hao as a friend.

Although they guessed that the person who exchanged gold coins for items every time was Su Hao, they had no evidence to back their claims.

As a result, they merely wanted to make friends with Su Hao in the hopes that he could lead everyone to resist the endless dark forces.

However, Su Hao took a look at his notifications and saw a massive number of friend requests.

There was even a friend request from the Black Dragon Castle.

However, Su Hao was unperturbed and glanced indifferently at them before rejecting everyone in one go.

At the same time, the situation was just as Su Hao predicted.

Compared to using energy stones, mutant crystals, or wood to exchange for ordinary food that could only satiate one’s hunger, it would be better to use the useless gold coins to exchange for higher quality food. No one wasted any wood, energy stones, or crystals either.

In an instant, all of the lords thought that Han Yan’s ‘charitable deed’ of exchanging so much food for a small amount of wood and energy stones was a waste of resources.

Rather than trading mutant crystals and wood for low-level food, one might as well use the useless gold coins to exchange for high-level food!

That was the true nature of an exchange—that was the true meaning of charity!

They had all misunderstood Su Hao!

They were moved to tears at that moment and rushed to buy the meat upon sensing Su Hao’s sincerity! At the same time, they began to prostrate themselves to Su Hao in the chat!

[Everyone! We’ve been wrong about the big shot! If the big boss is willing to use such expensive food to exchange for gold coins with us, is there anything we would complain about?]

[That’s right! It turns out that he’s even better than Han Yan! He’s always offered food in exchange for gold coins, unlike Han Yan who still wants us to exchange energy stones and mutant crystals! Even if the amount is small, it’s all I have because I haven’t even upgraded my castle yet!]

[I love you, Big Shot! Please show me the way!]

[I’d rather be your underling! I don’t want to do everything myself!]

[Hey, I have dibs on that!]

Su Hao’s reputation once again soared, and Han Yan’s luster instantly became dull in the eyes of all the lords, almost forgotten even.

After all, it was a continent where the strong preyed on the weak.

Everyone only remembered first place.

No one would ever remember second place.

At that moment, standing on a certain mountain peak was Han Yan, who wore a blue suit of armor and was clenching his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging.

He gritted his teeth and had a rage-filled expression as he looked at the Black Dragon that was still moving in circles before him.

“Impossible. That’s level six ape meat! And 2,000 units too…”
