Chapter 488: Transaction

Kujing Castle is very scarce in terms of resources.

After Yang Jian and the others came back, they reported on their investigation. The bazaar here is rudimentary, with few merchants and only a few items for sale. In terms of food, it is mainly barley, a cold- and heat-tolerant crop. There are also some meat products, mainly raised mutton, with some unknown insect meat.

There is only one kind of fruit called jujube, which looks like a tree root, and it tastes sweet and silky when chewed, and it tastes good.

Otherwise, there are only a few rudimentary cold weapons, and a few mutant beast materials for sale. Commodities are mostly traded on a barter basis. Of course, the crystal nucleus is the currency in circulation. In addition to this, there is also a type of banknote that circulates locally called the Dragon Coin.

Dragon coins, as the name suggests, are the currency issued by Dragon City.

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 nucleus, but the purchasing power is ...... It's not as good as one Chinese dollar! ”

From the information he inquired about, ten yuan dragon coins were in Kujing City, and they could only buy one pound of grain and two taels of meat. However, in the territory of Huameng, the value of one yuan of Chinese currency is equivalent to a first-class crystal nucleus, which can buy one catty and two taels of grain.

It can be seen that the Chinese dollar is strong and has much stronger purchasing power than the dragon coin. The reason for this is very simple, Huameng is rich in grain and rich in all kinds of food resources. Here, on the contrary, food is scarce. If converted according to the crystal nucleus, the value of the two currencies is about the same. But when it comes to purchasing power, Dragon Coins are far behind.

"Also, boss, you don't know, the water here can be sold for money!"

When Yang Jian said this, the thief looked at Wu Qing and said, "Senior brother drank the remaining half bottle of water." gave it to a little girl, and they wanted to drag him into the house. Hey, hey, let him have a good time! ”

Wu Qing shrugged his shoulders and said, "That girl smells a little bigger." Not my brother my dish! ”

"If it were your dish, would you have an idea?" Catwoman was on the side, her face a little unkind.

Wu Qing hurriedly shook his hand and expressed his attitude: "Eldest sister, I have Shirley, and other women are not in sight." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Catwoman snorted. She went north to Longcheng with her boss this time, and she had another task, which was to check for her good sister and be optimistic about this brave little prince.

Of course, Wu Qing knew it in his heart. Along. Honestly, I don't dare to have the slightest deviant behavior.

Food is expensive, and water can be sold for money. It can only be said that there is a shortage of food and water resources here. Li Ba didn't think much about it, and directly greeted Yang Jian and asked Ma Youzhai, the leader of Kujing City, to come over.

When Ma Youzhai walked into the yard, he was startled by all kinds of food and materials neatly stacked in the yard. As far back as I can remember, the gang didn't pack much. Where did they get so much supplies?

Without waiting for Ma Youzhai to think about it, Li Ba smiled and led him to a pile of sacks. Liang Ming's hand was swiped with his fingertips. The sack broke, and the white rice flowed out. This rice is different from ordinary rice in that the rice grains are slender and full. It looks like a grain of white silver beans.

Mutated food!

Ma Youzhai could see at a glance that this was not ordinary rice. It's mutated rice.

"Leader Ma, I have five tons of mutated grain and fruit here. With the addition of all kinds of fish and dried meat, as well as processed fruit juice, the quantity should be more than ten tons. ”

Li Ba introduced with a smile. Trading conditions are then issued. The price he gave was very favorable, of course, this was several times higher than the price of Kujing City, compared to the price of sale in Huameng.

Jade! Crystal nucleus!

Li Ba only needs these two things. The survivors of Kujing City, as much as they can come up, can exchange for as many supplies as they want.

The crystal nucleus is the currency in circulation in the last days. But jade, in the last days, is of little value. Therefore, after Ma Youzhai heard the other party's trading conditions, or trading methods, he was really shocked in his heart.

Visualize the mountains of materials, especially those mutated grains and fruits, as well as bottled mutated juices. Ma Youzhai's face was full of surprise and could not be suppressed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and inform everyone, come and trade!"

After coming back to his senses, Ma Youzhai lost his ass and left. In about half an hour, the survivors of Kujing City began to gather in a steady stream. First of all, it was Ma Youzhai, who took hundreds of people to the courtyard where Li Ba settled and rested.

Among these people, there were a few bags wrapped in sheets, and when they were opened, they were full of jade ornaments, jingling, and there were hundreds of them. If you count them together, there are hundreds of catties of jade.

These are all collected by Ma Youzhai from the residents of the city when he returned just now and asked his subordinates. In the last days, jade is useless and of little value. As a result, the survivors of Kujing City had a limited amount of jade on hand. That's all.

weighed well, and for the jade like a waste product in Kujing City, he actually exchanged it for three bags of mutated rice. Ma Youzhai was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. After that, he took out a lot of crystal nuclei and exchanged a total of nearly a ton of food supplies from Li Ba.

After that, it was the turn of the other survivors of Kujing City. Yang Jian and others were busy, some estimating, and some distributing. In the early afternoon, all transactions are closed.

Although Kujing City is small and does not have many jade resources, the residents have a lot of crystal nuclei on hand. In one transaction, Li Ba obtained tens of thousands of crystal nuclei. The cost is less than five tons of food supplies.

Although they are basically low-level crystal nuclei below the third level, if they are changed to Huameng, they are enough to buy more than a dozen tons of food materials. But in Kujing City, Li Ba only spent one-third of his food resources in exchange for so many crystal nuclei.

Among them, the profit can be imagined.

Despite this, the survivors of Kujing City were still excited, and they were all smiling. The reason is simple, for Li Ba, he has already sold for a high price. But for Kujing City, the price of the food and materials he sells is at least thirty percent lower than the local market price.

Moreover, these food materials are all high-quality products, which are rare in the north. Good quality and low price, they all think they have earned it, and of course they are excited.

There are still more than five tons of food and supplies left, and Li Ba does not plan to give them away in vain. Instructed Yang Jian and the others to put away and prepare to set off. Shooting in a small settlement like Kujing City, he originally had the intention of testing the waters. Now that the effect has been achieved, there is no intention of staying.

The satellite city under the command of Long Cheng is his main trading partner. According to Fu Changfeng, to be able to become a satellite city of Dragon City, the number of survivors must reach at least 300,000. The resources of such a large settlement city are at least a hundred times stronger than that of Kujing City!

When you get there, you can make a lot of money and make a windfall!

When Li Ba instructed his subordinates, pack up and prepare to leave. Ma Youzhai looked at the food and materials placed in the courtyard, and his face was full of reluctance. At the same time, he secretly regretted it in his heart. Half a month ago, he had led people to surround and suppress the corpses of a nearby town. The operation went smoothly, most of the corpses were slaughtered, and the rest fled. The town was captured, and while collecting supplies, he saw a lot of jade ornaments, which were all thrown away as scrap by his subordinates.

Jade can't be eaten, except for some bit of appreciation, it can be said that it is of no use. Who would have thought that now they could exchange food and supplies with these people. Moreover, the value is greater than that of ordinary crystal nuclei!

Knowing this, even if he gave up collecting the zombie crystal nucleus, he would have to collect all the jade in the town. Now, these people are leaving, and he is the most reluctant and tries his best to keep them.

In just three days, he can take people to the surrounding uninhabited towns and collect a large amount of jade.

However, it was impossible for Li Ba to stay in this small place for three days. With this time, he led the team to kill it himself, and he didn't need a grain of food, and he could still collect jade.

Time, for Li Ba, is very precious. Therefore, he politely declined.

"Boss Li, I'll exchange a mutant camel with you for the rest of the supplies!"

Seeing that Li Ba had made up his mind, Ma Youzhai gritted his teeth and said this proposal. Camels are known as the ships of the desert, which can carry heavy loads and run like flying in the Gobi Desert, and can find water in arid places. Mutant camels take this ability to the extreme. For Kujing City, which is on the verge of desert, the function is huge and irreplaceable.

In the entire Kujing City, there are only about thirty mutant camels, which are regarded as treasures by Ma Youzhai and firmly controlled in their hands. Each of these mutant camels has a fifth-level evolutionary strength, and not to mention anything else, just hunting can bring great assistance.

For the food and materials brought by Li Ba, Ma Youzhai also fought hard, and even took out his heart and liver treasure to exchange. Even though it's just one head, it also makes him feel distressed.

It is definitely cost-effective to exchange five tons of food supplies for a fifth-level mutant beast. Not to mention anything else, this mutant camel is huge, and after slaughtering, it has nearly two tons of flesh and bones.

Li Ba thought about it, rolled his eyes, patted Ma Youzhai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Leader Ma, you can change it if you want, but I need ten mutant camels!" ”

"Ten heads!"

Ma Youzhai thought he had heard it wrong. It wasn't until Li Ba repeated it again that he heard it clearly, and the other party was not joking.

"That's not going to work!"

Ma Youzhai immediately refused. Although food supplies are precious, mutant camels are equally important to Kujing City. Two or three heads are easy to discuss, and the other party asks for ten heads at a time, and he will not agree no matter what.

"Leader Ma, I have a lot of good things here besides food!"

Li Ba said this with a grin. After that, his eyes looked at Liang Jie, who immediately touched his wrist, and a crimson sword appeared out of thin air in a strange way.

"This is the Fire Cloud Sword, a talisman produced by my Harvest Firm, infused with Yuan Force, which can bless fireball attacks, and its power is comparable to that of a fifth-level evolutionary......"

Liang Jie began to introduce the effect of the talisman and personally tried it for Ma Youzhai to watch. When Ma Youzhai saw Liang Jie wielding a big sword, causing a cluster of blazing fireballs to blast into the distance, blasting the ground into big craters, he was dumbfounded, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.

Li Ba saw it in his eyes and smiled silently. He believed that after seeing the miraculous effect of the talisman, the horse leader would change his mind.

Under his hint, Liang Jie took out a piece of talismans, all of which were produced by the foundry. According to the power of the inscription runes, the talismans are also divided into grades. On Liang Jie's body, he brought a lot of low-level talismans, all of which were engraved with the five elements of primary talismans, and the power was not too strong. However, it is enough to make Ma Youzhai tempted.

"Ten is ten! I need eighty ......, though No! I want a hundred talismans to exchange! ”

Sure enough. After Ma Youzhai saw the magical power of the talisman, he immediately made up his mind and was willing to trade ten mutated camels. (To be continued.) )
