I'm really angry.

This Zach is looking down on me too much. As a resident of Ore Town, I actually think that I want to make use of this national treasure? And I have to take responsibility for this matter. I think I can't afford this if I am poor.

loss?

Humph, in just three days, my first batch of super radishes will be mature! In a little while, there will be a second batch of planted potatoes, strawberries, and pineapples, which will be harvested continuously and supply the diet of the entire town.

No problem.

However, the insect plague that Zach mentioned still makes me a little concerned, because it will actually lead to an increase in food prices. Then it must not be a pest of a single crop, but an exterminating pest like locusts.

If it spreads along the Madas Mountains, wouldn't the first disaster location be my home at the foot of the Madas Mountains?

Taking this into consideration, I have to be prepared to cultivate more fast-harvest staple food crops, stock up enough food before the insect disaster, and provide supplies to everyone in the town. And fruits like strawberries are not enough.

Planting of crops can only be delayed.

Otherwise, Ore Town's food crops have been dependent on imports for a long time. With the Voyager Alliance's business philosophy, the crops will definitely be resold for sky-high prices. At that time, it will not be a family crying, but a whole family crying.

With my thoughts settled, I started tidying up the house in my room. I originally planned to wait until the injured state was over before I went out, so I packed up my "Knight of Embarrassment" and "Bearer of Black Flame" costumes before going out.

But I suddenly remembered that I had walked too quickly and the umbrella given to me by Boss Dart was still outside the house, so I quickly opened the door to get the umbrella.

At the lightning flash of opening the door, I suddenly thought of a question I had just missed.

If Zach feels guilty and plans to bear my losses alone, he can just silently give the money to me, or even ask Boss Dart to transfer it to me. Why go to such trouble to explain to me personally?

unless……

This guy has figured out that I won't accept money, and is he plotting against me?!

Zach, you bastard, be swallowed up by the black flames!

But then I thought about it, if I really am a mercenary and unscrupulous person, the money Zach gave me would be like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth.

If it was out of profit calculation, his reasonable approach should be to conceal the price increase and digest it himself. In the case of serious information asymmetry, no one in the town would know about it except himself!

Zach's purpose was not to give me money, but for other purposes.

What could it be?

He came here to do two things, one is to give me money, and the other is to tell me that the shipping price is lower than the market price. But in a sense, these two things are the same, and they are both related to money.

Then the problem lies in the information attached to it. He also conveyed a message, which was that there was an insect plague on the opposite side of Madas Mountain and that there was an imminent food crisis.

The trade route to Ore Town was reopened by Zach, so he must know more about this trade route than I do. As part of the established route, the size of Twin Towns should be far larger than that of Ore Town.

A countryside with two or three kittens.

Even the larger Twin Towns were hit so hard that they needed to store food for safety. When disaster strikes Ore Town, which does not produce food, the damage will be even more serious.

So Zach’s real intention is to pass on the news about the insect plague to me? Want me to take this responsibility?

Otherwise, even if the residents of the town can afford to pay, Zach will have to add heavy bulk grain cargo to the already overburdened barren trade routes, which will be a disguised harm to his sailor brothers.

People will still buy gems and antiques that are fifty times more expensive, but probably no one will be willing to buy food that is ten times more expensive. Even if they are bought, the result will be that the residents of the town will go bankrupt. This is what Zach is facing.

Dilemma multiple choice question.

On the one hand, there are the residents of the town who are in close contact with each other in urgent need of food. On the other hand, there are brothers who have a deep love for opening a route for themselves. Zach needs to make a choice.

but……

It seems that Zach did not answer this multiple-choice question, but found another way to come up with a solution!

that's me!

Because the pasture I took over can naturally bear the task of producing grain, and it is at the foot of Madas Mountain, it will bear the brunt of the threat of insect pests.

Because I produce food at this critical moment, I have in my hands a miraculous crop that matures quickly and has high yields within a week.

Moreover, because as the only grain producer in the town, the materials I produce are supplied to the residents of the town first, which is the most reasonable and the best choice for everyone in the town.

But therein lies a problem.

That's how to reasonably get me to agree.

If I were not told that the pest disaster was coming, I would definitely choose to sell the grain at a high price. And having solved the problem of food and clothing, I would probably give up the fast-growing staple crops and instead choose higher-value crops with shorter growth cycles.

Longer other crops.

Everything like that would be irreversible, and Zack couldn't afford to gamble.

The other option he had was to tell me.

In that case, if I don't believe in the possibility and insist on growing other crops, Zach will have no way to change my mind.

From another perspective, even if I accept his request, I am forced to sacrifice for the residents of the town. Just like a hero who must commit suicide in order to save the world, should he die alone? Or let the whole world die?

Or will he transform into a demon and lead the whole world to death?

This is not guaranteed at all!

This is simply moral kidnapping!

Therefore, using circumstantial measures is his best choice.

…But it’s still not right.

I feel that the previous reasoning is correct, but there are still some missing factors that have not been taken into account regarding Zach's motives.

I came to this conclusion based on the analysis of Zach's own interests. But there is still that problem...

What if Zach also pretends not to know? He waits until the insect plague breaks out as if nothing has happened, then no one can blame him. He only needs two apologies and a sigh to solve the problem, without any effort at all.

What? You said it’s because of an uneasy conscience?

With so many scheming people out there, can’t they find an excuse to live with their conscience?

If that doesn't work, how about praying to God?

So when Zach takes on such a responsibility, he must have mature considerations and really wants to contribute to the people in the town!

Zach handled the problem by apologizing and telling the story himself because he didn't care whether his ten thousand yuan would be accepted at all!

His purpose was to subtly tell me that the insect plague has appeared and the risks must be dealt with. At this time, Zach, as an individual, has made his own choice and compensated me for the losses. What would I do?

In this case, my thoughts will inevitably diverge in this direction of putting aside the small for the big, and let things go in the direction Zach hopes.

What's even more clever is that according to this method, even if I have complaints in my heart, I will not blame the town residents. At most, I will blame the blame on Zach who "accidentally revealed".

How clever but clumsy!

Treacherous yet loyal!

I finally understood the meaning of these two words, and they fit perfectly into this seemingly honest and honest Zach!

I should regret that I underestimated Zach's performance before...he is a real chess player!

It's just that you didn't expect it, Zach, I still saw through your series of calculations!

…………

"Ah sneeze!"

Zach was walking on the road in the light rain and suddenly sneezed.

"You have a cold? Then I have to go back and change clothes quickly."

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have gotten up so early and ran over to find Marcus."
