Chapter 263: To Profit from the Kings of Hustle, You Must Out-Hustle Them (Part 4)
At this moment, he finally understood the "dreadful" nature of Black Wind Castle!
This thing was like a giant whirlpool, capable of sucking in and pulverizing everything, only to squeeze out their juices.
This place was completely different from Beifeng City.
Although the decision-maker was still Lord Demon King, the main body of order here consisted mainly of goblins and Hell Dwarves.
They used their actions to prove that there's only one way to make money from these seasoned experts—
And that is to be even more intense than they are!
It's not just about beating them in cost and time.
You've got to beat them on the bottom line too!
"I do have one more trick up my sleeve." The Soul Fire flickered within [Greedy Sword God's] skull, like a firefly in the Netherworld.
"What's your plan, brother?" [Tomb Chef God] nervously watched him, adopting a more elegant way of speaking.
[Greedy Sword God] smiled lightly and said slowly.
"Spiciness... is basically capsaicin. Isn't this something that can be chemically synthesized? Why do we have to grow it from the ground?"
The two other players were stunned for a moment and exchanged a glance.
"Holy crap..."
"That's genius, brother! I can't believe I didn't think of that..." [Ash Descended] slapped his forehead, his Soul Fire quivering with excitement, "But is it hard to synthesize that stuff? Wouldn't want to end up losing money after making it!"
[Greedy Sword God] flickered his Soul Fire, whispering, "It'll require some research, but isn't there magic in this game world? We don't necessarily have to go the chemical synthesis route."
[Hell Chef God] said nervously, "So the bone broth pot's soup, does that mean it's also..."
"Forget about it," [Ash Descended] slapped his thigh with a clattering of bones, "Let's find a mentor and set up a chemical synthesis workshop here!"
"Let's talk about that later, we can first find a mentor to sort out the current raw materials!" [Greedy Sword God] chuckled, as if savoring sweet revenge.
Not eating what I offer?
If I don't serve you a meal, I'm no sword god!
"Bro... we shouldn't be so nasty, right?" [Tomb Chef God] cautiously suggested.
They had come to promote the culture of the Great Graveyard and change Black Wind Castle's culinary scene, not to compete in dark cuisine!
If things continued like this, he wouldn't be a chef god anymore, he'd become a brute.
[Ash Descended] patted his shoulder, earnestly saying.
"Brother, look at it from another angle—the goblins' worth isn't even higher than the peppers outside. While it's not their fault, why should they get to taste the real stuff? If we don't make a little change, they'll spend their whole lives watching Hell Dwarves feast. But if we modify things just a bit, they can also experience that magma-like fiery taste!"
[Greedy Sword God] nodded solemnly as well, "Indeed, you can't judge goblins by human standards. What we're doing is actually for the benefit of the goblins in Black Wind Castle—oops, I mean for Black Wind Castle's goblins!"
"Holy crap, you guys have a way with words."
[Tomb Chef God] was thoroughly impressed, with all his limbs laid out in awe, convinced by these two rascals.
Indeed, to make a big fortune, one needs a swift ideological slippage.
Overall, their business venture was quite successful this time. The "Tomb Hotpot" in Black Wind Castle became a legend, drawing even envious looks from players in other industries.
The success of the Tomb Hotpot was just a small episode in the grand infrastructure wave at Black Wind Castle.
As those Life Professional Players said, Demon City in Hell was littered with gold, and the thriving Black Wind Castle was akin to an enormous goldmine!
However, extracting the minerals here required certain skills, and not just anyone could establish themselves here.
And just when hotpot culture was exploding in Black Wind Castle, merchants from Demon City likewise noticed the market potential of this emerging cuisine.
A clever goblin merchant sniffed out the business opportunity and quickly brought this novelty back to Demon City, giving it a new name—Demon King Pot!
It sounded much more catchy than that Hell Dwarves Pot, and just by hearing it, it felt powerful.
Thanks to "that Demon King's" incredible popularity in Demon City, this new kind of cuisine, reportedly from the Great Graveyard and full of hype, soon became a fad among Demon City's commoners and lower nobles.
Yet, that is another story, unrelated to the exploits of Lord Demon King...
