Chapter 438: Expensive Bananas

The forces of Ember City, represented by Bai Yuqi, have launched a large-scale purchase of materials in the Ashen Wasteland.

Although it has brought an unlimited supply of abundant water resources to the members of the Wasteland tribes, it has greatly alleviated the demand of the natives for this survival resource.

However, the influx of a large number of "sources of life" has also caused the Ash Wasteland to fall into chaos and strife.

After all, it's only the Subhuman Alliance that cooperates with Ember City, but it's not just the Subhuman race that needs the source of life in the wasteland.

Those humanoid races led by the Sand Jackals and all kinds of wasteland creatures also need this kind of life resource that can alleviate the fire poison.

Rather than attacking the forces of Ashen City, which seemed to be difficult to provoke, they naturally preferred to directly rob the source of life transported by the subhuman tribe.

As a result, battles are taking place all over the Ember Wasteland around the source of life at every moment.

For the city of Ashes, which caused chaos, it is happy to see this happen, after all, war money is the best to earn.

The resource-poor ash wasteland can be said to be nothing, and the wasteland race that lacks food and clothing is not better than the refugees.

After collecting resources from Ember City in exchange for a sufficient reserve of life sources to meet the needs of the tribe members, they began to take an interest in other materials at the disposal of the forces of Ember City, such as weapons and equipment.

Due to the lack of smelting and forging means, the wasteland race has very few metal products in their hands, and if they do, they are old antiques dug up from some ruins.

Therefore, in order to better protect the source of life in exchange, the wasteland race began to try to exchange various metal weapons and armor from Ashen City to improve their strength.

At the same time, the food, clothing and other daily necessities produced in various Tang time and space are also extremely attractive to the wasteland race.

Cool, breathable linen clothing gradually replaced the thick and stuffy animal skin clothing of the wasteland races, and metal swords gradually replaced the stone and bone tools in their hands.

For this reason, Bai Yuqi had to build a huge department store outside the Ash City.

Moreover, in order to facilitate transactions, a set of "water tickets" that can be exchanged for the same amount of life source were also issued as currency.

As Ember City grew in importance in the Ashen Wasteland, the new city gradually became a "paradise" for the tribes of the Wasteland, and even a "real estate fever" arose as a result.

Speaking of this, we have to start with the Great Rift Valley tribe of the Sand Barbarian Spirit who served Bai Yuqi.

As the first subhuman tribe to come into contact with Bai Yuqi, the entire tribe of the Great Rift Valley accepted his hire and visited the semi-underground inner city in the heart of Ash City.

Therefore, although the members of the Great Rift Valley tribe are allowed to live in the Ash City, they are always haunted by the inner city that seems to be a "fairyland".

If everyone is the same, it would be forgotten, but the hundred sand barbarian spirit guards who were given to Bai Yuqi and the twenty sand barbarian spirit maids were allowed to live in the inner city.

Because Bai Yuqi did not restrict the freedom of these guards and maids too much, after completing the work assigned to them, they were free to enter and leave the inner city and return to the tribe to visit relatives and friends.

Whenever they saw these people who were nourished by the natural energy and mist of the inner city, the sand barbarians of the Great Rift Valley tribe couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

Not only have their brown skin become white and delicate, their dark green eyes have gradually turned into turquoise, and their withered yellow hair is also changing to a dazzling white gold, which is probably some kind of atavism caused by the man-made environment of the inner city.

In addition, the sand barbarian guards and maids who ran back to the tribe when they had nothing to do, and from time to time they also brought some welfare materials such as fruits and bamboo dew and hundred fruit brews back to show off, which made many sand barbarians of the Great Rift Valley tribe eager to become Bai Yuqi's "slaves".

That is the "Fruit of Life" and the "Holy Fountain of Life" that can make them evolve into the warriors of the "Eternal Fire", and they actually eat three meals and supper every day, what kind of fairy days is this?

These sand barbarian guards and maids look like they've not only gained weight.

And he was stunned that all kinds of resources were opened up to supply, and he was forced to pile up into a "high-level eternal warrior"!

You must know that even their leader, Querion Siamnod, was only a "lower Eternal Warrior" after that collective evolution.

It's not that Quillion doesn't want to use his daughter's relationship to exchange some "Life Fruits" and "Life Sacred Fountains" from Bai Yuqi, the Ash City Lord, in order to evolve more people into Eternal Warriors, or to further his strength.

But the price of the "fruit of life" is too high.

An ordinary sand man, who works in a department store for a day, can get a "10 ml" water ticket as a salary.

The junior soldier who is in charge of the security of the department store market is paid a day of "20 ml" water ticket, intermediate soldier "50 ml", and senior soldier "100 ml".

A "Flame of Eternity" warrior like Querion Siamnod is only paid for a "500 ml" water ticket a day.

But a fruit of life called "banana" requires a "1,000-liter" water ticket.

This meant that he, a tribal leader, would have to work for the Ash Lord for five or six years before he could exchange for a banana.

According to the research of the Ash City Lord, if you want to evolve a high-level warrior into a "lower level eternal warrior", you need at least ten kilograms of various fruits, which is equivalent to 100 bananas!

In other words, their entire clan worked without food or drink for more than three months before they could exchange a clansman to evolve into an eternal warrior.

If this was placed in the past, the birth of a legendary warrior in three months in the tribe was definitely enough for them to hold a sacrifice to announce their ancestors.

But after experiencing more than 100 people, they collectively evolved after eating a meal.

I don't know why it makes people feel that it is too slow to give birth to an eternal warrior in three months, and it takes the whole clan to evolve into an eternal warrior in this monkey year?

And the biggest problem is that even if they have enough water tickets, they can't buy the fruit of life, because this "rare" resource Ash City is not supplied to the outside world at all!

At a time when the voices of various emotions in the tribe are getting louder and louder, and the warriors are hoping that they too can evolve into the Eternal Flame.

Querion discussed with the elders of the tribe, and they were already working for Ember City anyway, so it would be better for the whole clan to become vassals loyal to the other party!

In order to survive, but also to continue the reproduction of the race.

It is all too common in the Wasteland of the Ashes that the weak are loyal to the strong, and the weak are attached to the powerful.
