Chapter 10: Cute Bastard

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ding, ding, ding!”

Joseph’s private messages kept flashing. Each of them wanted to exchange for clean water through resources. Some of them had even exceeded the requirements he had requested on the trading platform.

“Big Brother Joseph, I’m willing to use 60 units of wood resources to trade for 500 ml of clean water with you!”

“Dear Mr. Joseph, I have 30 units of iron ore here. I don’t know if I can exchange for some clean water with you. I’m really thirsty now!”

“Dear, I’m your little sweetie. Have you forgotten about me?”

…

After blocking a large number of junk messages, Joseph picked a few traders and began trading the clean water.

He continuously cast the Water Ball Skill while nibbling on the Fluorescent Tangerines. Soon, various materials piled up around his feet.

By the time he closed the trading platform, Joseph was so tired that he laid down on the materials.

[Wood x 300]

[Iron ore x 120]

[Cement x 50]

[F-Grade Blueprint: Ordinary Hemp Rope Blueprint x 1]

Not only could he forge the Plate Armor Of The Dead with this, but with the hemp rope blueprint, his brand new Emperor Joseph could be released once again.

Joseph was very satisfied with the huge profits from the clean water trades. However, he had eaten a huge amount of tangerines and even had the urge to vomit.

Even the most delicious food could not be continuously swallowed into his stomach.

[System prompt: 50 meters away, there is an E-Grade Food Treasure Chest hidden. ]

Upon hearing the system prompt, Joseph’s fatigue instantly disappeared. He picked up the shovel and jogged over.

“An E-Grade Food Treasure Chest. Just hearing it is making me drool!”

While using the shovel, his mind was filled with countless delicacies.

Fragrant roasted turkey!

Could it be tender, juicy roasted steak?

Could it be meatloaf that he loved?

Clink!

Every time the shovel hit the treasure chest, Joseph felt that it was exceptionally pleasing to the ear. It was like a symphony that he heard in Vienna. That kind of wonderful feeling one could not get tired of listening to it for a long time.

“My dear delicacies, your emperor Joseph has come to see you!”

Joseph threw the shovel in his hand aside and walked over to the treasure chest.

When he opened the treasure chest with joy, he found that his vision had turned black. Countless resources had buried him.

[Opening E-Grade Food Treasure Chest: Rye Bread x 300 obtained.]

Looking at the countless Rye Bread around him, Joseph held back the urge to cry. He said goodbye to his roast turkey, roast steak, and his favorite meatloaf.

Joseph really could not understand how so many Rye Bread could be packed in a small treasure chest. It was not that he had not tried it before, but after opening it, the treasure chest would turn into an ordinary wooden chest. It did not have that kind of magical capacity at all.

“Rye Bread, damn Rye Bread!”

Joseph chewed on the Rye Bread while muttering incoherently.

Although Joseph looked depressed on the surface, it did not really affect him. Although the Rye Bread tasted terrible, it could fill his stomach, and he had 300 pieces of it, no, 299 pieces of Rye Bread. This could allow him to trade for more resources.

[Building materials trade: clean water.]

[Blueprints, rare materials trade: food and fresh water.]

With these materials, Joseph could easily exchange for more blueprints and corresponding materials on the trading platform.

After Joseph made a plan, he put the Rye Bread in his hand on the trading platform.

Only then did he look back at the noisy chatroom. More and more people had joined in the ridicule.

“Seriously, I’ve never seen such a heavy shovel. How long do I have to dig until I can drink water?”

“I can’t hold on much longer. I didn’t expect that I, the top chef, Chris, would die in such a horrible place!”

“Can someone give me some clean water and a piece of Rye Bread? I’ll give him the blueprints that I just dug before I die!”

Blueprints?

At this moment, Joseph did not lack food and fresh water, but he was very interested in all kinds of blueprints.

[F-Grade Blueprint: Magical Beast Food Recipe]

[Creation requirements: Magical Beast Meat x 3, clean water x 1300ml, Fluorescent Citrus x 1]

Magical Beast Food Blueprint?

“Could there be a way to tame magical beasts in the future?”

Joseph raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of a possibility that made him excited. The impact of the last Demon Wolf had not completely disappeared until now. If he could tame a Demon Wolf, then his safety factor would increase.

“I’ve traded it. Emperor Joseph has nothing else but water and bread!”

With a wave of his hand, Joseph had traded with Chris. When he got the blueprint, he put it away very solemnly.

Chris did not tell him all the details of the blueprint just now.

[Magical Beast Food can greatly improve the taming of Magical Beasts. ]

Chris, “Thank you, Big Brother Joseph. You’re such a generous gentleman!”

Joseph did not care about Chris’ praise. Exchanging 500 ml of clean water and two pieces of Rye Bread for the blueprint of Magical Beast rations was a profitable business.

You had the blueprints while I had the clean water and bread.

It was a very fair trade. Such a simple matter would become complicated if it was mixed with other things.

After closing the chat room, Joseph looked at the pile of various supplies in front of him and felt a little headache. He did not know how to bring them back. Even if he could move it, he would not be able to cross the river with just the Emperor Joseph.

Just as he felt troubled, Emily sent him a private message. “Damn it, there’s a Ghoul outside my cabin. Do you have any way to help me?”

Ghoul?

Joseph frowned. Although he had never faced a ghoul before, he knew very well that ghouls were as terrifying as Demon Wolves.

That was because Ghouls were not afraid of pain at all, which was more troublesome than Demon Wolves.

Joseph said, “If you want to deal with Ghouls, I suggest you hide in the wooden house obediently You are no match for them unless you can upgrade the wooden house. Then, it will be safer.”

Emily said, “I have an Upgrade Blueprint in my hands, but I don’t have the necessary materials…”

Joseph’s eyes lit up, and he directly traded all the materials in front of him. “You can use the materials as you please, but the deadline is one day, and the interest rate is 30%. You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me.”

Looking at the large pile of materials that appeared out of thin air in front of her, Emily screamed excitedly, “Joseph, you really are a cute bastard!”
