As Alexander saw that the deduction would be tomorrow, he sighed, "system can I use the chrono egg to hasten the development and harvest of the gourmet farm?" after waiting for moment "ding! It is possible to use it however it won't be able to maximize its usage." "please elaborate." Said Alexander "it can only speed up the farm from 1:4 into 1:30 and after the usage, it will take a full year for it to replenish its energy." Said by the system. Alexander was in deep thought and chose to enter the secret land for now.

"system, how much do we harvest every month?" asked by Alexander as he talk to the old man catering the secret land. "since we already reach the full population of 1000 gourmet beast, we found out that our monthly harvest of wild beast meat is at 8 tons every month and 3 tons of elemental beast every month." Alexander calculate the daily harvest and it appears that in a day, the farm harvest around 200 to 260 kilograms of wild meat and more than 100 kilos for the elemental beast meat. After thinking for a while "system, once I activate the chrono egg, it will take a full year before it can be use again right?" the system didn't answer which signified that he is correct "then if I integrate it to the system in the secret land, that would mean it will only take 3 months for it to recover and be use again right?" once again, the system didn't answer him.

With this confirmation he activated the chrono egg and immediately, he obtained 8 tons of wild beast meat and 3 tons of elemental beast meat plus the remaining 9 tons of wild beast meat and 4 tons of elemental beast meat. As he saw this, he can't helped but laugh "with this, I hope that elder can buy all of this." Then he left the secret land and call it a day

In the morning, Alexander woke up with the notification of the system "ding! After 30 days, the system will now deduct 100 gold for the secret land management… deduction complete, please check your status panel."

After checking his status panel, he go down and eat breakfast with the kids, Hector and Candice. "Hector, Candice ready the carriage, we will leave the town tomorrow before sunrise." The two nodded and also instructed Candice to gather some information about the snow mountain kingdom. After he instructed the two, he took the two kids to roam the village. As they are roaming, Alexander also try to gather some information cause as they say, information is the blood for a merchant. Without sufficient information, you cannot succeed as a merchant. As the sun set, they return to their inn "big bro! Thank you for accompanying Lulu, I am happy that big bro is with me." Alexander laugh and patted her head as she giggle.

As night comes, he walk outside the village in the outskirt, then wore his cloak and mask then took off for the village elder house. As he neared at the house gate, one of the guards notice him and recognized him at the same time. "Lord Grid! Welcome, please, the elder is already waiting for you at the waiting room." Alexander nodded and followed the guard. As he enter the room, he saw the village elder as well as another person. Elder Young stand up and reach out his hand to greet Alexander "Welcome lord Grid! Let me introduce you lord Don from the snow mountain kingdom." Then lord Don also stand up and reach out his hand to Alexander "good evening lord Grid!"

Alexander shake their hands and after some pleasantries, he didn't beat around the bushes and get straight to the point "elder Young, I would be direct as I will be leaving shortly, may I ask how much can you purchase this time?" elder Young didn't say anything and shift his sight to lord Don "Lord Grid, elder Young will be sitting this one up and I will be your customer for today." Said by Lord Don. Alexander just stare at lord Don and notice a gold-coin like pendant with a design of a simple Celtic cross and beast like carvings in each side. Then suddenly asked "how are you related to the Quixote family?" lord Don was taken aback with this question and become suspicious with Alexander's identity. Alexander notice this and followed up "don't worry, I have a friend in the Quixote lineage. What was his name again… right it was Miguel, Miguel Quixote, are you related to him?" actually Grid was not a made up name, it was actually one of his identity in his past life and Miguel Quixote was one of his best friend and one of the most successful merchant on his era.

"ho-how did you know my ancestor's name?" lord Don was shaken by the fact that some knew his ancestor. Miguel Quixote was one of the most successful merchant on his era but he was condemned by his kingdom because he also traded with 'halflings' and at the time, the war between human and beast was at its boiling point hence after being condemned, he roam the whole continent and become a legendary figure when in comes to being a merchant.

Alexander laughed in his old man voice "no need to be nervous, I am just here to trade. Since you're from the Quixote lineage, you won't disappoint me don't you?" lord Don only nodded and didn't say anything. "alright, let's start." Then he took out 17 tons worth of meat. "there's a total of 17 tons of wild beast meat here. You can check it and I hope you won't disappoint me lord Don." Alexander's tone is like provoking lord Don hence he didn't hesitate and checked the meat one after another. After checking "lord Grid, are you sure you want to sell this meat for only 30 coppers?" Alexander nodded and said "but there's a catch, I want you to lower the price of the meat when you sold it, since I will be selling it for 30 coppers, you can only resell it at 35 copper maxed." Lord Don agreed with no hesitation. "great! Now lets move on." Lord Don froze, 'there's more?' he thought, then Alexander took out another sacks of meat "lord Don, there's a total of 7 tons of elemental beast meat here. I will lower the price to 2 silvers and same condition, you can only resell it to 2 silvers and 15 coppers maxed." After stating his price and condition, lord Don almost faint. Not with the price nor the condition but from the amount of the elemental beast meat.

After the transaction, he bid his farewell and immediately took off. As lord Don stare at the darkness on where Alexander disappear into, he also prepare his carriages to transport the meat to the snow mountain kingdom.
