Chapter 488 Transaction
Kujing City is very scarce.??.?`c?om
After Yang Jian and his friends came back, they reported on their inquiries. The market here is very simple, with few merchants, and there are only a few items sold. The food is mainly barley, a kind of cold-resistant and heat-resistant crop. There are also some meat foods, mainly raised mutton, and some unknown insect meat.
There is only one kind of fruit called jujube. It looks like a tree root. It tastes sweet and tastes good.
In other aspects, there are only some simple cold weapons and a few mutant beast materials for sale. Most of the goods are traded in barter. Of course, crystal cores are circulating currency. In addition, there is also a kind of banknote circulating locally, called dragon coins.
Dragon coins, as the name suggests, are the currency of Longchengxing.
Yang Jian took out a dragon coin with a denomination of ten yuan and handed it to Li Ba: "Boss, the value of this ten yuan dragon coin is equivalent to a second-level crystal core, but its purchasing power... is not as good as one yuan Chinese coin!"
From his inquiry, the ten-yuan dragon coin can only buy one pound of grain and two taels of meat in Kujing City. However, in the territory of Huameng, the value of one pound of Chinese coin is equivalent to a first-level crystal core, and one pound of two taels of grain can be purchased.
From this we can see that the Chinese currency is strong and has much stronger purchasing power than the Dragon Coin. The reason is very simple. Huameng produces a lot of food and has rich resources of various foods. On the contrary, food is scarce. If converted according to crystal cores, the value of the two currencies is similar. But in terms of purchasing power, the difference between the Dragon Coin is too far.
"Also, boss, you don't know that the water here can be sold for money!"
Yang Jian said this, and the thief looked at Wu Qing and said, "The senior brother gave it to a little girl half a bottle of water that he drank. He actually wanted to drag him into the house. Hehe, let him have a good time!"
Wu Qing shrugged and said, "That girl has a bit of a big taste. It's not my dish for brother!"
"If it was your dish, would you have any ideas?" The catwoman touched the side, with a little unkind expression.
Wu Qing shook her hand quickly and expressed her attitude: "Sister, if I have Shirley, no other women will be attracted to you...?"
"This is almost the same!" The catwoman snorted. This time she followed her boss to the Longcheng north, and she had another task. She was to check on her good sisters and look forward to this little prince of Kokang.
Of course, Wu Qing knew it. Along the way, he was honest and did not dare to do anything deviant.
The food is expensive and water can be sold for money. It only means that there is a little bit. The food and water resources here are scarce. Li Ba didn't think much about it and directly called Yang Jian to invite Kujing City to bring Ma Youzhai to come.
When Ma Youzhai walked into the yard, he was shocked by the various kinds of food and supplies neatly piled up in the yard. In my memory, these people did not bring many luggage, and where did they get so many supplies?
Before Ma Youzhai could think too much, Li Ba smiled and brought him to a pile of sacks. Liang Jie made a brilliant move and stroked his fingertips. The sack was broken and white rice flowed out. The rice was different from ordinary rice. The rice grains were slender and plump, and looked like white silver beans.
Mutant food!
Ma Youzhai saw at a glance that this was not ordinary rice, but mutated rice.
"Maling, I have five tons of mutated grain fruits, plus various fish jerky, and processed dried fruit juice, which should be more than ten tons."
Li Ba smiled and introduced. Then the transaction conditions were issued. The price he gave was very favorable. Of course, this is several times higher than the price in Kujing City, compared with the price in Huameng.
Jade! Crystal core!
Li Ba only has these two things, the survivor of Kujing City, who can take out as much supplies as he can exchange for.
Crystal cores are currency circulating in the end of the world. However, jade has almost no value in the end of the world. Therefore, after Ma Youzhai heard the transaction conditions or trading methods offered by the other party, he was really shocked.
The various materials accumulated in visually, especially those mutated foods, mutated fruits, and bottled mutated juices. Ma Youzhai's face was full of surprise and could not be suppressed.
"You guys wait, I'll inform everyone now and come and trade!"
After coming back to his senses, Ma Youzhai fell off his butt and left...?`For about half an hour, the survivors of Kujing City began to gather in a steady stream. First, Ma Youzhai, who brought a hundred people to the yard where Li Ba settled down to rest.
Among these people, there were several bags wrapped around the bed sheets. When they opened it, they were covered with jade ornaments, and there were hundreds of pieces. If they were counted together, there were hundreds of kilograms of jade.
These were all collected by Ma Youzhai just returned and asked his subordinates to collect from the residents in the city. In the end of the world, jade was useless and almost worthless. Therefore, the number of jades on hand by the survivors of Kujing City was limited. Including so many of them.
The scale was so good that it was exchanged for the scrap-like jade in Kujing City for three large sacks of mutated rice. Ma Youzhai was so happy that he couldn't stop. Afterwards, he took out a lot of crystal cores and exchanged nearly one ton of grain from Li Ba in total.
After that, it was the other survivors in Kujing City. Yang Jian and others started to work hard, some estimated and some put them on. In the afternoon, all transactions ended.
Although Kujing City is small and has few jade resources, residents have many crystal cores on hand. In one transaction, Li Ba obtained tens of thousands of crystal cores. The amount of food and food was less than five tons.
Although they are basically low-level crystal cores below level three, if they are replaced in Huameng, it will be enough to buy more than a dozen tons of grain and food. However, in Kujing City, Li Ba only spent one-third of the grain resources in exchange for so many crystal cores.
The profits can be imagined.
Even so, the survivors of Kujing City were still excited and smiled happily. The reason was very simple. For Li Ba, he had already sold a high price. However, for Kujing City, the price of the grain and food he sold was at least 30% lower than the local market price.
Moreover, these food and food are all high-quality products and are rare in the north. They all think they have made money, so they are very excited.
There were more than five tons of food left, and Li Ba did not intend to give it away for free. He ordered Yang Jian and others to put it away and prepare to set off. He had originally wanted to test the waters in a small settlement like Kujing City. Now the effect has been achieved and there is no intention to continue to stay.
The satellite city under Longcheng is his main trading target. According to Fu Changfeng, the survivor population of which can become Longcheng must reach at least 300,000. The resource foundation of such a large-scale settlement is at least hundreds of times stronger than that of Kujing City!
Only when you get there can you make a big profit and make a fortune!
When Li Ba ordered his men to pack up and prepare to leave, Ma Youzhai looked reluctant to leave when he saw the food and food placed in the yard. At the same time, he secretly regretted. Half a month ago, he had led people to encircle and suppress the corpses of a nearby town. The action was very smooth, most of the corpses were killed, and the rest of the people fled. The town was captured. When collecting supplies, he saw many jade ornaments, which were thrown away by his men as waste.
Jade cannot be eaten, except for some appreciation value, it can be said to be of no use. Who would have thought that now can exchange food and food for these people. Moreover, the value is even greater than that of ordinary crystal cores!
If he had known this, even if he gave up collecting zombie crystal cores, he would have to collect all the jade in the town. Now, he is most reluctant to leave and try his best to keep these people.
In just three days, he could take people to the surrounding uninhabited towns and collect a large amount of jade.
However, Li Ba could not stay in this small place for three days. With this time, he led his team to kill him. He did not need a grain of food and could still collect jade.
Time is very precious to Li Ba. Therefore, he politely declined.
"Boss Li, I will exchange you for the remaining supplies with a mutated camel!"
Seeing that Li Ba was determined to leave, Ma Youzhai gritted his teeth and made this proposal. The camel was known as the desert boat, which could carry heavy objects and run like flying in the Gobi desert, and could find water sources in arid places. The mutated camel even took this ability to the extreme. For Kujing City, which is on the verge of the desert, it has a huge function and is irreplaceable.
In the entire Kujing City, there are only about thirty mutant camels, and they are regarded as treasures by Ma Youzhai and are firmly controlled in their hands. These mutant camels have level five evolutionary strength. Not to mention anything else, they can bring great auxiliary effects just in hunting.
For the food and food brought by Li Ba, Ma Youzhai also worked hard and actually took out his own treasures to exchange. Although it was just one, it made him feel very distressed.
It is absolutely cost-effective to use five tons of grain and food to exchange for a level five mutant beast. Not to mention anything else, this mutant camel is huge in size and has nearly two tons of flesh and blood after slaughter.
Li Ba thought for a while, his eyes rolled, he patted Ma Youzhai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ma Collar, you can change it, but I need ten mutant camels!"
"Ten heads!"
Ma Youzhai thought he had heard it wrong. It was not until Li Ba repeated it again that he could hear it clearly, and the other party was not joking.
"This is not possible!"
Ma Youzhai immediately refused. Although the food and food supplies were precious, the mutated camel was equally important to Kujing City. It was easy to discuss two or three heads, but the other party asked for ten heads at one time, but he would not agree no matter what.
"Ma Ling, in addition to food, I have a lot of good things here!"
Li Ba said this with a smile. Afterwards, his eyes looked at Liang Jie, who immediately touched his wrist and a red sword appeared out of thin air.
"This is the Fire Cloud Sword. The talisman tool produced by my Fengcheng Trading Company is infused with Yuanli, which can bless the fireball attack. Its power is comparable to that of the fifth-level evolver..."
Liang Jie began to introduce the effects of the talisman instrument and personally tried it for Ma Youzhai to watch. When Ma Youzhai saw Liang Jie waving his big sword, causing a ball of fireballs to blast into the distance, blowing out large pits on the ground, he was dumbfounded and his face was full of shock and incredible.
Li Ba saw it and smiled and said nothing. He believed that after seeing the magical effect of the talisman instrument, the horse understood and changed his mind.
Under his suggestion, Liang Jie took out a piece of talisman, all of which were produced in the foundry system. According to the power of the inscribed talisman method, the talisman is also divided into levels. Liang Jie brought many low-level talismans, and the inscribed five elements primary talismans, which are not too powerful. However, it is enough to make Ma Youzhai fall in love with him.
"Ten heads are ten heads! But, I need eighty... No! I want a hundred talisman exchange!"
As expected, after Ma Youzhai's magical power of the visual instrument, he immediately made up his mind and was willing to trade ten mutant camels.
