Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 173: Returning to the Danger Zone is Where the Real Business Is (6)
"Damn, you all abandon me after crossing the river!"
The cooks could no longer squeeze through and cursed furiously from outside the circle.
"The cooking squad should stop trying to snatch, it’s just a small portion of fish roe; we can just cook and eat it ourselves, no need to bother you."
The items on the table were cleared in a minute, and Ye Nai promptly produced more.
The spider carcass just lay there on the ground, and the warriors, accustomed to combat, knew exactly how much meat they could extract and weren’t worried in the slightest about there not being enough.
But the small portion of fish roe was indeed disappearing quickly.
When Ye Nai restocked again, he switched the giveaway to small boxes of shrimp and shredded clam meat.
"Wow! Clam meat!"
Once a box of clam meat was brought out, it became even more popular than the shrimp.
"Is there more clam meat? I want to buy it separately!"
"This clam meat is all broken up; it was small to begin with, and it got shredded when cleaning the innards, so it can only be given as a free gift."
Ye Nai stood firm on his policy.
"That means there are intact ones, larger ones!"
All these warriors with rich combat experience, who could miss the hint in Ye Nai’s words?
"Is clam meat tasty?"
"Delicious, the small clam meat is so fresh and tender."
Ye Nai then took out a single-serve stir-fry pan with half a pan of spicy stir-fried clam pieces inside; once the lid was lifted, the spicy aroma made the warriors who had just eaten dinner feel hungry again.
Those who had a taste for it even had tears of excitement running from the corners of their mouths.
"Wow, that smells amazing!"
"This pan is clean, I’ll let you try."
No sooner had Ye Nai spoken than the pan disappeared, but the crowd kept echoing with "delicious" and "so tender."
"Save the big ones for us! Save the big ones for us!" The cold storage and cooking squad jostled and shouted from outside the circle.
"Alright, I’ll save the big ones for you!" Ye Nai gestured towards them, then enthusiastically greeted those buying spider legs, "No need to hurry, let’s clear out this stock first, take it easy, there’s plenty of goods."
So, under Ye Nai’s deliberate control, the giveaways were distributed, and even though there was still spider meat left, it was no longer for sale.
"All set, all set, the giveaways are all out, not selling anymore, I’m keeping the rest for personal use."
Amidst laughter, the cooks finally managed to push their way back in.
Joining them were people from cold storage, the research institute, the workshop, and the procurement department.
The research institute was the quickest to buy; the spiders scattered all over the ground and the giant ants were prepared for them. An afternoon’s collection of camel-hump deer was for one research group, and collecting arthropods was for another.
While Ye Nai’s small business was booming, they couldn’t get close, so in the presence of the procurement department, they teamed up with the workshop staff to count and check those items.
Now that both sides had met up, it took Ye Nai just a few minutes to set up a new deal in the Awakener, and over ten million in after-tax income was credited to his account.
Spider legs were sold at such a high price, let alone the complete spider carcasses, which were worth between three hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand each, mainly depending on their intactness; the more damaged ones, of course, were worth much less.
Ye Nai sold in bulk at wholesale prices, netting just over ten million after taxes.

Then there were the giant ants; despite being the same large quantity, when weighed, they fetched much less, except the Ant Queens had a different price.
Each Ant Queen was housed in a single glass bottle, intact and unharmed, with the researchers carefully placing them in a box insulated with foam.
The research groups were flush with funds; they paid for the transaction themselves and didn’t leave, waiting for Ye Nai to bring out the clam meat.
The research institute was independently funded and had its own kitchen and canteen, so these people were curious about the clean clam meat from the Otherworld that Ye Nai had, and they wanted to taste it.
The previous pot they tried to taste didn’t get to them, they just smelled the fragrance.
The person who bought the spider leg meat didn’t leave either, they just stood loosely on the periphery to watch the bustle.
Two folding tables were emptied, and this time Ye Nai directly brought out two stainless steel basins with a diameter of one meter each.
Both basins were filled with clean clam meat, each one intact, about the size of a toddler’s palm, and it was evident that the innards had been meticulously cleaned out.
"We want one basin!"
The research group moved quickly, one hand holding down the basin, the other hand raising a phone to pay.
"Damn, competing with us?" the cold storage manager and the canteen squad leader were not pleased.
"Come on, just these two basins aren’t enough for the big pot meal you’re making. It’s different for us; we only need one basin. We just bought so much spider and Ant Queen, which all require manual cleaning. We work with the workshop, and having a nice meal gives us the energy to work, right?"
"Um, indeed, there’s not much, otherwise, it would have gone straight to the cold storage this afternoon."
Ye Nai nodded in agreement, acknowledging that if the quantity had been sufficient, she wouldn’t have kept it in the Space.
"No, no, no, don’t listen to their ramblings. These two big basins of clam meat, the clam shells alone could pile up into a mountain. Next time you have a basin like this, just give it to us. Chopped up and mixed with vegetables for stir-fry, it’s enough to feed the whole camp for a meal."
The cold storage person in charge swiftly pulled the other basin in front of them.
"Alright, the next time we have it, it’s yours. For now, shall we set a graded price?"
Quality inspection took some time, and after half an hour, the result was as expected; anything Ye Nai sold was inevitably Good quality, squeaky clean. Picking up a piece of clam meat to smell, there was the seafood’s natural freshness and no strange odors.
The rabbits sold that afternoon were not graded, the pricing was based on the weight of the entire catch.
This large basin was priced at a wholesale rate of three hundred per pound, weighing and calculating the price, and in a short while, she had earned tens of thousands more.
The canteen kindly provided large trash bags that could hold up to a hundred liters to pack the clam meat, returning the basins to Ye Nai.
The cold storage people loaded the clam meat onto a tricycle, and before leaving, they seemed a little reluctant to go.
"Is everything cleared out? There’s nothing left, right?"
"No more, honestly no more, all the gains from this trip are sold out, there’s just some wild Rat Teeth left."
Cold storage doesn’t take wild Rat Teeth, so they drove off on their tricycle.
The researchers also loaded up their vehicle, returning to the institute with their rich harvest.
Standing at the entrance of the canteen and watching this lively scene, a few young people finally approached Ye Nai.
"Oh, Director Zhuo, you finally made it. We’ve been waiting just for you."
Seeing the familiar procurement team, Ye Nai remembered what she originally intended to do at this canteen entrance.
Sell Rat Teeth!
"Hmm, I see your little business is quite bustling."
"Oh no, it’s nothing. Just passing the time while waiting for you guys." Ye Nai looked around, searching, "Where are my Rat Teeth?"
"Over there!"
Director Zhuo pointed irritably at the canteen entrance, where bags of Rat Teeth were lined up on the steps, none missing.
"Ah, that’s good, have they been inspected?"
"Inspected, and the weight is taken." Director Zhuo pulled out his phone, "Let’s set up the transaction, the department will pay."
Ye Nai quickly set up a transaction for Rat Teeth on her phone, entering the weight and price that Director Zhuo had reported.
Those standing beside him included not only his staff but also several unfamiliar faces who were actually the workshop technicians in charge of processing Rat Teeth; they were responsible for quality inspection, and their satisfaction was necessary for any further dealings.
