Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 183

Kyle ran through the forest east of Starkhold.

'Sure hope I'm not going to meet any hunters. I really don't want to deal with that.'

Kyle had already met up with the client, who had given him all of the details.

Apparently, they were after some kind of big chicken.

These chickens laid eggs that could be consumed by normal people to gain Ether, making it a lucrative source of Ether.

Compared to chickens on Earth, these chickens didn't lay eggs once a day but only once every couple of months.

One of these eggs could turn an Initial Adept into a Mid Adept, which was crazy.

'30 Ether Pebbles per egg,' Kyle thought. 'But you also gotta feed these chickens and keep them contained.'

'There's some profit to be made with these chickens, but not that much. The dude said that they lay like four eggs every three months, which means they get 1.3 eggs per month.'

'Just based on economics, I would think they get like ten Ether Pebbles of profit per month.'

Naturally, since Kyle had had his own business on Earth, even if it was just a shady drop shipping business, he knew quite a bit about how business worked.

'The fact that the hunters want ten Ether Stones for one of these chickens is crazy. Assuming everything works out perfectly, that still means you need like eight years to make a return on your investment.'

'And that's considering ideal circumstances. Sometimes, shit happens, and your chicken dies.'

'Oh well, more money for me.'

The reward Kyle would get for the mission was one Ether Stone, which meant that the client probably paid three Ether Stones in total.

'Seems like a fair price. Assuming ideal circumstances, they only need 2.5 years to get a positive return.'

"Have you ever seen a Bristle Chicken?" Kyle asked Theodor.

"No," Theodor answered.

"Have you heard of it?"

"No," Theodor answered with annoyance. "I don't care about such weak beasts. If I wanted one, I could've just captured a Monster."

"But weren't you weak before? You know, like me," Kyle asked.

"Yes, but I spent all of my time in the Royal Artificer Academy. I only needed to get my own resources when I was already a Late Artificer," Theodor explained.

"Oh, you had a silver spoon," Kyle commented.

"I didn't," Theodor answered with a mix of annoyance and confusion. "How is a silver spoon related to my academic life?"

"It's a phrase," Kyle said. "It means-"

"I don't care," Theodor interrupted. "Keep your phrases to yourself. I don't want to clutter my limited information storage with trash."

Kyle just rolled his eyes as he kept running through the forest.

After a while, Kyle's instincts started to warn him, and he jumped into one of the bushes.

Something dangerous was approaching, but Kyle couldn't be sure where it came from.

'Well, just gotta wait until the danger passes,' he thought.

But then, the feeling of danger became stronger and stronger.

Yet, Kyle still couldn't tell where the danger was.

At that moment, something lightly touched Kyle's leg.

BANG!

Kyle immediately jumped out of the bush and looked back, his hammer ready.

"Meow."

A black cat casually strolled out of the bush.

'A cat?' Kyle thought.

Sure enough, it looked like a normal housecat, except that it was almost a meter tall. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
