Money-Making Ideas, Buying Rice

Money-Making Ideas, Buying Rice

Before long, the Chitauri would invade Earth, and people in the Marvel world would become even more eager for high-end weapons.

By then, an advanced metal material like Kroll Alloy would definitely be in enormous demand. There would be no need to worry about finding buyers.

"By then, I'll figure out a way to get some Vibranium and sell it in the Swallowed Star world. I'll definitely make a fortune..."

The more Luo Wen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Vibranium would definitely count as a rare metal in the Swallowed Star world as well.

Armor made from Vibranium should be even more defensive than an SSS-grade Kroll Alloy Armor.

In theory, a suit made from Vibranium should be second only to the Black God Suit.

"If I can really get Vibranium and sell it in the Swallowed Star world, I might be able to get a dose of Dragon Blood..."

Luo Wen wrote down "Dragon Blood" in a blank spot in his notebook.

There were not many items on Earth in the Swallowed Star world that could increase one's strength without side effects.

In the early stages, there was only Dragon Blood.

Things like Essence of Flora and Wood Sprout Essence had all been created by Babata. Luo Wen had no way of obtaining them.

Only Dragon Blood was the most likely option.

Luo Wen's thoughts grew increasingly clear, and the information recorded in his notebook steadily increased.

He realized that there really were many opportunities to exploit between the Marvel world and the Swallowed Star world.

Even reselling food alone could make him a major tycoon.

The night grew deeper, and before he knew it, it was already eleven o'clock.

Luo Wen had already filled three pages of his notebook.

Luo Wen checked the time and smiled.

"I'll sleep first. Tomorrow, I'll go get an ID card from Zhou Huayang."

The next morning, Luo Wen woke up at five.

He felt brimming with energy.

After being infected with the RR virus, his sleep quality had become extremely high. Six hours of sleep had restored his body to peak condition.

The first thing Luo Wen did after opening his eyes was quietly sneak into Hill's room and check on her.

Only after seeing that Hill was breathing steadily, sleeping soundly, and showing no signs of fever did Luo Wen finally let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed he had not brought the RR Virus back with him.

The Spacetime Vortex could most likely filter out or kill viruses.

Once he confirmed that Hill was fine, Luo Wen relaxed. After washing up, he went into the kitchen and made breakfast.

Sandwiches, egg pancakes, and two cups of hot milk.

Perhaps she had heard the sounds of cooking. When Luo Wen carried the milk into the dining room, Hill was groggily opening her bedroom door and stepping out.

Her hair was slightly messy, and her sleepy eyes made her look adorably approachable.

"Good morning, Hill."

"Mmm, good morning, Luo Wen."

"How did I fall asleep last night? I can't remember at all."

"You fell asleep while drying your hair. All right, hurry up and wash up. Breakfast is ready."

"Okay—"

After washing up, Hill changed into a white blouse and a black knee-length pencil skirt. She had also pinned up her hair with a claw clip, instantly looking exceptionally dignified and beautiful.

After sitting down, Hill's eyes lit up when she saw the egg pancakes on the plate. Without a second thought, she picked one up and took a huge bite.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Hill chewed blissfully for a few moments, then took a sip of milk.

Luo Wen could not help but smile at Hill's satisfied expression.

It seemed she really had suffered these past few days outside. She was enjoying even an egg pancake this much.

Still, he had indeed put a lot of care into making the egg pancakes.

He had learned how to make them from an elderly woman at a long-established breakfast shop in his previous life.

Not only could Hill not get enough of them, but Natasha had also said she absolutely loved them.

There had been a whole plate of egg pancakes. In the end, Luo Wen only ate one, while Hill finished all the rest.

As for the sandwiches, Hill did not even spare them a glance.

With no other choice, Luo Wen ate both sandwiches himself.

After breakfast, Hill quickly packed her briefcase and prepared to head out.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s work was demanding. Most days, Hill had to be at the office by seven in the morning to help Fury handle affairs.

"By the way, Hill, I'm planning to start a business recently. I'll need to use some of the money on the bank card."

As Hill changed her shoes, Luo Wen cleared the dishes and called out to her.

Hill worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. and rarely had any expenses that required her to pay out of pocket, so she kept her bank card at home for Luo Wen to use as he pleased.

As a Level Nine S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Hill earned a high salary and had saved up quite a bit over the years.

There was more than a million dollars on the card.

"Mhm, okay. Use it as you see fit. If it isn't enough, just tell me. I can apply to the agency for a loan—"

Dressed in a fitted skirt suit and black leather shoes, Hill answered with a triangular egg pancake clamped between her lips.

Luo Wen smiled at the sight, unsurprised.

Hill had handed him her bank card for safekeeping three years ago.

The reason he told Hill about it was mainly to prepare her mentally.

So she would not be left dumbfounded when he suddenly became a billionaire.

After Hill left, Luo Wen opened his laptop, tapped a few keys, and entered a special interface.

This was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information retrieval system, accessible only to internal personnel.

Luo Wen had not yet joined S.H.I.E.L.D., but with a Level Nine agent and a Level Ten agent in his household, getting this small backdoor access was not difficult.

However, Luo Wen's account only had Level One clearance and could not access any confidential files.

After entering the system, Luo Wen searched for information on Chinese grain merchants in New York.

Very soon, Luo Wen selected a suitable Chinese rice distributor.

Luo Wen noted down the other party's phone number.

Then he exited the system and made the call.

"Hello, I'd like to purchase a batch of rice from you."

After getting through, Luo Wen discussed a partnership with the grain distributor.

In the world of Swallowed Star, China had a total of six base cities. Jiangnan Base City alone had a population of nearly two hundred million.

Land resources were scarce, which naturally led to tight food supplies.

Yesterday, Luo Wen had checked the food prices on the Earth of Swallowed Star. They were extremely high. After conversion, rice cost roughly two to three times as much as it did in the Marvel world.

"May I ask what kind of rice you need, and approximately how many tons?"

The Chinese Distributor asked politely over the phone.

"I need Northeast Rice from China. I have around one million dollars to spend. How many tons can you provide?"

Luo Wen got straight to the point.

"One million dollars?"

The Chinese Distributor was slightly surprised.

It was rare for a first-time customer to ask for such a large quantity right away.

"For one million dollars, I can provide you with 2,500 tons."

After thinking for several seconds, the Chinese Distributor answered steadily.

"Alright. I need it today. Can you deliver it to my door?"

"Is your warehouse in New York?"

"That's right."

"Then I can have all the goods delivered today."

The Chinese Distributor was a straightforward man. After clarifying the situation, he answered decisively.

"Fine. I'll come inspect the goods later and pay you half as a deposit first."

"Okay, I look forward to meeting you."

After hanging up, Luo Wen did not leave immediately.

Compared to buying rice, he was more concerned about his physical condition right now.

So, holding Hill's access card, Luo Wen once again swiped open the entrance to the C9 Training Room.

Luo Wen was already familiar with the C9 Training Room. After entering, he immediately began a comprehensive physical assessment.

Only traveling to the world of Swallowed Star would not cause other worlds to appear.
