I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Chapter 90: Chapter 79: Cultivation Marketplace! Moon Gazing Rabbit!

(The update is late, mainly to boost the average subscription and make the initial subscription a quality one for better recommendations, so now two Chapters are combined into one!)

...

The bamboo cage that the village chief was carrying contained a few rabbits, judging by their appearance and the curve of their mouths, they were clearly wild rabbits, and one of them was even white.

In the south, white wild rabbits are indeed very rare.

Chen Han smiled and said, ”Village chief, you came here specifically today, you must have something in mind, right?”

Guo Zhen did not deny it: ”Patriarch Chen, I do have a favor to ask. The tourists visiting the Chen Family have increased recently, and I believe that with your ability, the Chen Family will attract even more tourists in the future.”

”You know that our Shangyuan Village is not very wealthy. Many people grow agricultural products like peaches and yangmei to sell, but the fruit merchants press the prices down a lot.”

”So, we want to set up stalls with these items to sell to the Chen Family’s tourists. But rest assured, we will abide by the Chen Family’s rules, and you can send people to supervise.”

[The loose cultivator representative informs you of their purpose, hoping to rely on the Chen Family and wishes for the Chen Family to take the lead in building a cultivation marketplace, giving loose cultivators a place to trade cultivation resources, spirit stones, and cultivation techniques!

This is a matter of enhancing reputation, spreading it far and wide. Although loose cultivators are weak in strength, when their numbers are sufficient, they can become a significant aid when attacked by Demon Cult demons. Please establish the cultivation marketplace quickly and assign a clan elder to oversee it, preventing Demon Path demons from causing trouble!]

Chen Han smiled upon hearing the game prompt. Even without this game system prompt, he would still agree to the village chief’s proposal.

Allowing the villagers to sell agricultural products may not be the same as building a cultivation marketplace, but it is a way to increase reputation and enhance fame.

In reality and cultivation, many things have a similar essence.

The Chen Family’s promotion of tourism and attraction of tourists has already taken a leading role. From the beginning, he did not intend to take all the benefits.

This matter pertains to the remaining benefits, allowing the villagers to gain some gratitude instead of being purely envied.

Moreover, the Chen Family worships the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, implying protection. In the past, the Chen Family protected the area for tens of miles. Although he cannot match that, there’s no need to prevent the villagers from earning some small profits.

So, he said to the village chief, ”Village chief, we are all neighbors. This is naturally not an issue, but our Chen Family’s promotion is not easy. Now that things are gaining traction, we cannot let bad products or high prices ruin our reputation.”

Guo Zhen immediately assured, ”Patriarch Chen can rest assured. I guarantee that the items sold by the villagers will be of good quality and quantity, and the prices will not be higher than those on the outside market. Tourists will not be shortchanged and will even feel like they’ve gotten a deal.”

Regarding the prices, Chen Han was actually confident.

Fruit prices, even if some are just a few cents per pound, still yield considerable overall profit.

Nowadays, why do more and more fruit farmers prefer to pack their products themselves, offer free shipping, and find influencers to promote them, offering a 15%-20% commission plus a 6% service charge to Tiao Yin?

Because even after offering 26%, even with the cost of packaging and free shipping, the profits are still higher than selling to fruit merchants, and significantly so.

As such, selling village items to tourists allows for significant profit margin space.

Chen Han also said, ”Village chief, it’s always good to guard against potential problems, to prevent any single bad apple from spoiling the whole pot. I suggest that the Chen Family and the village find a dedicated place for everyone to sell their goods. We from the Chen Family will also send people to supervise. When the tourists increase, we can further request tourism authorities to co-supervise, ensuring everything goes smoothly.”

Guo Zhen nodded: ”I agree with this suggestion, while we trust gentlemen, it’s also necessary to guard against the unscrupulous. Some people might lose their heads over small gains.”

The two sides then discussed some details.

This matter was naturally handed over to Chen Lin, the Work Hall Elder, to coordinate with the other party.

After the discussions were settled, Guo Zhen did not forget about the gift he brought: ”Patriarch Chen, these wild rabbits are especially caught by me from the mountains. I was lucky enough to catch a whole nest. These creatures are not protected animals and make wonderful game.”

Almost simultaneously, the game prompt appeared again:

[The loose cultivators, seeking to rely on the Chen Family, united to go to Cyan Simurgh Peak and captured a nest of Moon Gazing Rabbits as a tribute! Note: Moon Gazing Rabbits are a special type of spiritual beast that loves moonlight. Please build a rabbit hutch where moonlight can shine upon it, as there may be unexpected benefits!]

Chen Han was surprised as he took the cage of wild rabbits. After the Profound Frost Lion-headed Goose and the Mountain-Shaking Spiritual Ox, would the family welcome a third type of spiritual beast?

Moreover, whether it’s the Moon Gazing Rabbit or the cultivation marketplace, both are excellent material.

Anyway, since the video was not yet fully edited, he reckoned he could cut a short segment at the end, which could serve as an advertisement.

Many tourists coming to such villages do not mind purchasing some organic fruits and vegetables.

With this thought, he took out his phone, filming the village chief and the cage of wild rabbits: ”For the second time overcoming Demon Cult demons, more and more Righteous Dao loose cultivators are coming to seek protection, sending representatives to the Chen Family to discuss, hoping that the Chen Family will take the lead in establishing a cultivation marketplace, providing a place for loose cultivators to trade cultivation resources, techniques, spirit stones...”

Chen Lin and Xiaoyu did not expect him to casually start filming at zero frames.

They were in the middle of a discussion!

Guo Zhen was not surprised by this. After all, this is how the Chen Family gained fame, and having the video out there served as an advertisement too. Therefore, he cupped his hands and said, cooperating, ”Thank you to Patriarch Chen for making this possible!”
