Porter of Two Worlds

Chapter 60: “Product Launch”

Early in the morning, in the wooden treehouse. Bai Yang was brushing his teeth beside the bamboo water pipe. His mouth was covered by the foam of the toothpaste and Xiao Mao was beside ready to serve him a clean towel.

After some time, Xiao Mao was already used to all of Bai Yang’s weird habits. For example, she wouldn’t see the foam of the toothpaste as a sign of poison anymore.

Gru gru gru… Pui…

After he finished brushing his teeth, Xiao Mao quickly handed over the towel into his hands.

What a life, how I wish this goes on forever…

Bai Yang was literally living the life of an entitled young master in the Gedo Village. But what else can he do? The moment he picks up the spoon, Xiao Mao’s eyes would turn teary as if he was going to abandon her in the next second.

But the food here was too monotonous, other than smoked, roasted, and boiled meat, they only had fruits to supplement vitamins and nuts as snacks. Bai Yang never saw any grain in the village before.

“Young master, the chief has asked for you.” When Bai Yang was enjoying his breakfast, Zhao Shi came to the doorstep and said.

“Alright. I’ll be there in a minute. Brother Zhao, do you want to eat together?” Bai Yang nodded and said.

Zhao Shi looked at the amount of food on the table that wasn’t even enough for him to consider a snacks, “It’s fine, young master. I’ll be there waiting for you.”

…

After his breakfast, Bai Yang tidied up himself up and headed over to the chief’s residence with Xiao Mao.

“Chief grandpa, you are looking for me?”

The duo was very close and familiar, in a sense, Bai Yang was the chief’s grandson-in-law. Thus, there was no need for Bai Yang to act at all in front of the chief.

“The representatives of the other villages are arriving soon.” The old chief said to Bai Yang.

Just as he finished his words, clamors came from the village entrance. Bai Yang walked to the door and looked out. At the entrance, over a dozen unfamiliar muscular men approached Gedo Village’s gates.

They came so fast, He thought while looking back at the chief and replied, “Chief grandpa, don’t worry. The goods are ready and in place.”

“Good, good.” The old chief heaved a breath of relief. He worried most that they wouldn’t be able to present the goods to the representatives when they have arrived.

“Then, shall we go and meet them now?” Bai Yang couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He wanted to showcase the items to the villagers right away. He wants them to know that he was the one who had brought these things to them, that he could help them better their lives and stop getting bullied by the Che Family.

Furthermore, he needed a chance to sell himself out to the villagers as a warm and caring hero and at the same time, defaming the evil Che Family. Just how would Bai Yang let such a nice chance slip?

“Alright. I’ll bring you over to meet them.” The old chief smiled back at Bai Yang and brought him and Xiao Mao to meet the guests.

As the representatives had departed from their respective villages, they didn’t arrive all at once but one at a time. Therefore, Bai Yang followed the old chief around the village and met with the representatives from different villages over the day.

Every time they met a representative, the old chief would point to the titanium armor worn and sabers carried by the villagers. Then, he would make it clear that it was Bai Yang that supplied the equipment to them.

All in all, the core message he was trying to convey was: You want these goods? Talk to the young master.

Right away, Bai Yang would receive flattery and be praised highly by the representatives.

Most of the villagers living in the Lost Forest had never really left their villages. This made them naive at heart. They would often treat those who treated them well ten times better.

This was the exact opposite of the jaded and cynical people of Earth. The villagers were so pure that Bai Yang never imagined people like them to really exist!

As the old saying went: man at birth is fundamentally good in nature. The villagers were uneducated and had little knowledge, but that was their true nature remained unmarred by “civilized culture and education”.

If it wasn’t because he knew about it, why would Bai Yang stand up and supply the villagers with goods and equipment? The first thing he would’ve done was run and escape instead.

However, the one thing Bai Yang couldn’t figure out was how come all of the representatives and villagers looked almost the same? He couldn’t remember them at all once he shifted his eyes away from them. In terms of recognizing people, Bai Yang was a hopeless one.

In just a few hours’ time, the empty space in the center of the Gedo Village contained more than 2,000 muscular men.

Bai Yang had met every representative and showed his face in from of them. Now, it was time for him to start a speech to build his name and reputation.

Under the old chief’s encouragement, Bai yang stepped up onto an improvised stage set up in front of the representatives. He cleared his throat to attract the attention of his crowd and started his show.

“I think I don’t have to restate your purpose here in Gedo Village. Look around, these are the goods Che Family trades with you. Look at them, just what is this rubbish? Is this salt even edible? Pui, even soil tastes better. Are these hemostatic herbs? Pui, its just grass! Are these armors and weapons? They are scrap metal! This are all rubbish dumped onto the streets that no one would even pick up! For years, the Che Family used them to do business with you? And trade these for the resources that had come at the cost of the lives of our warriors? The Che Family are scum and bloodsuckers! Where are their conscience and hearts? Are they not afraid of karma? Ever since I know what you have been through all these years, I have been questioning myself. Will I sit by and watch as the Che Family treat us this way? No, I will not let the Che Family bully you anymore! So have your eyes here and look at what have I brought you. Are my items good? Well, let’s see it for yourselves! Zhao Shi, bring them up and show them.”

Bai Yang condemned the Che Family in his speech and successfully piqued the villagers’ anger towards the Che Family. Then, he swung his hand and ordered Zhao Shi to show them the goods.

The first on the list was the edible salt. Bai Yang had the villagers open up a few packs of edible salt and poured the salt into a few bowls. Then, the villagers walked into the crowd to let the representatives have a taste of the edible salt.

The representatives poked their finger into the snow-shite edible salt in the bowls and sucked on their fingers to taste the salt. One must say, Bai Yang felt like puking as he watched the representatives’ faces turned distorted in saltiness.

The snow-shite salt glimmered under the sunlight. The taste of it put the representatives to tears. They could swear that this was the best salt they had ever tasted, it tasted pure and didn’t have any gravel mixed in it like they were used to. They were reluctant to spit out the salt no matter how salty it tasted, just like the first time Gedo Village’s villagers tasted it…

After the representatives returned to their senses from the edible salt, Bai Yang ordered the villagers to show them the magical and convenient lighter.

In the first second of the demonstration session of the lighters, the representatives plunged into a clamor. The noise of the crowd would not settle for a long time. The magical lighter was a game-changing gadget. As long as they had a lighter in hand, they would be able to start a fire anywhere anytime, even on rainy days. They wouldn’t have to struggle to start a fire with the flintstones anymore!

Then, the third product was the hemostatic aerosol spray. Zhao Shi made a small cut on his arm and with only a spray on the cut, the blood stopped bleeding in seconds. It was so effective and convenient that the representatives couldn’t believe their eyes…

But the pièce de résistance was the weapons, which was also the main focus of the villagers in living in the forest.

Firstly, there were the titanium arrowheads. With the same bows the villagers were using but equipped with arrows with titanium arrowheads, the warriors were able to shoot through a new record of ten layers of leather compared to the normal two layers with the normal arrowheads over the distance of 50 meters!

Buzz…

It was from this moment that the representatives turned completely mad. More than a dozen of them stepped forward to test the arrows themselves. And all of them concluded that these arrows would increase their combat capabilities during hunts tenfold!

But that was not a surprise after all. These arrowheads were trilobate arrowheads manufactured from titanium. Combined with your otherworldly strength, I’m going to be shocked if you can’t penetrate through ten layers of leather.

The moment he thought of it, Bai Yang felt like disposing of the two pistols on his waist. These villagers were only using bows and arrows but the accuracy and power of their shots were actually comparable to the snipers in the special forces. He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Then, the representatives were showed the titanium sabers. Under the unholy strength of the villagers, they were able to swiftly chop down a towering tree with just a swing of the saber.

All in all, the titanium sabers were able to chop trees down like tofu.

They also tested the titanium sabers with the ordinary weapons the villagers were using. Unsurprisingly, none of their weapons were able to remain unbroken when they clashed with the titanium sabers. All of the representatives’ eyes glared like light bulbs staring at the titanium sabers.

The same test was also run on the titanium armor. The representatives used their weapons and attacked a villager wearing the titanium armor. No matter how hard they waved their weapons, the villagers remained unscathed while on the other hand, their weapons started to splinter apart.

After all the demonstrations, Bai Yang looked down at the representatives from above the stage, he asked, “You’ve seen the goods, what do you think?”

Buzz…

The noise of the crowd filled Bai Yang’s ears, they were shouting and screaming happily but Bai Yang couldn’t even hear clearly what they were trying to say.

The worse thing to do on a product was to compare it with a better one. After seeing the goods Bai Yang presented to them, and knowing that their resources could be traded for them, the representatives were grateful toward Bai Yang.

And when they thought of how much the Che Family had taken advantage of them in the trades, the representatives couldn’t help but curse the Che Family.

Just how many years had they been bullied, looked down upon, and forced to trade their resources for rubbish? None of the representatives were able to restrain their anger as they almost wanted to rush out of the Lost Forest to kill the Che Family immediately!

“Die, you fool!” Suddenly, a loud shout of anger filled with killing intent sounded from above the Gedo Village.
