Chapter IX Transactions
The central area of the settlement.
A small square of nearly 1,000 square meters, next to which stands a five-story building.
This is the arena and office center of the settlement management committee.
The sky has darkened, a high-power diesel motor is "booming", providing the electricity needed to light the entire building, and a figure keeps going in and out of the office center, each going about the day's business. On the small square, a team of members of the security team is neatly assembled and lined up under the leadership of a team leader.
"Dripβ"
A pickup truck whistled and drove all the way to the downstairs of the office center, and before the car could stop, several sturdy men jumped off the car and stood firmly on the ground. Luo Hou looked intently, and saw that on the small truck, there was a faint pile of things in half a carriage, and the smell of blood could be clearly smelled from afar.
The pickup van is one of the only three vehicles in the settlement that are currently intact and belongs to the hunting party.
At this moment, it is the hunting team that goes out to hunt and returns, and it seems that the harvest is not small.
Several men who jumped out of the car first opened the rear compartment door and began to carry the contents of the car.
"Hiss......"
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but gasp, only to see that on top of the truck, there were more than half a carriage of monster corpses! As the members of the hunting team moved off the carriage one by one, Luo Hou now that the corpses of these demon beasts were all first-order demon beast sharp-horned goats, and the total number was nearly twenty. The Lihorn Goat is less than a meter tall and weighs about seventy or eighty kilograms, and it is a relatively docile species among demon beasts, and generally does not take the initiative to attack humans, but it has a swiftness and sharp double horns, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of a first-order evolutionary.
The lichorn goat itself produces a gray crystal, and a sheepskin with a high degree of integrity is basically worth a gray crystal, and the meat of the lichorn goat is tender and is loved by survivors, and it can also be sold for a semi-gray crystal. All combined, the value of one sharphorn goat is about three and a half gray crystals, and twenty is seventy gray crystals!
There are a total of five members of the hunting team who went out this time, and each of them can get at least ten gray crystals, except for a part of the Shangzhi Management Committee!
Seeing the harvest of the hunting team, the eyes of the surrounding crowd were full of envy. In the new world, only if you are strong can you survive better, and the members of these hunting teams are all second-order evolutionaries.
After standing for a moment, Luo Hou carried his snakeskin bag on his back, bypassed the crowd of onlookers, and walked along a stone path on the edge of the square to an antique two-entry courtyard.
"Stop, what people! What the hell! β
As soon as he approached the gate of the courtyard, the first-order evolutionary guards standing next to the two stone lions immediately blocked Luo Hou's way.
Seeing the two guards looking at him vigilantly, Luo Hou smiled kindly, revealing two rows of beige teeth:
"Please let the two of you report it, I have something to do with President Cheng."
The two first-order evolutionaries glanced at Luo Hou suspiciously, and saw that he was dressed in shabby clothes, carrying a snakeskin bag on his back, and looking destitute and poor, they couldn't help but show a look of disdain, and one of them asked suspiciously:
"If you have something to tell us, if it is important, we will inform the president."
Seeing that the two of them looked disbelieving, Luo Hou touched his nose, put the snakeskin bag on the ground, took out a cigarette and scattered two cigarettes, and said, "I really have something to do with the president, let's be accommodating." β
The two took Luo Hou's cigarettes, took a look, and were surprised that it was Huang Fu, who could sell a pack of twenty white crystals, and two cigarettes were two white crystals! Quietly stuffed into the bag, the person who spoke before said expressionlessly, "Then you wait, if the president doesn't want to see you, there is no way", and turned around and walked into the courtyard.
After about five or six minutes, the guard came out of the courtyard, nodded to Luo Hou, and said:
"Come with me, the president promised to see you."
Luo Hou followed behind the guard, through a small courtyard planted with many flowers and plants, and came to a brightly lit hall. When the guard arrived, he stopped moving forward, turned around and said, "The President is waiting for you inside," and then turned around and walked out.
Walk up a few steps paved with bluestone slabs to the main door of the hall.
In the hall, a tall middle-aged man sat on a Taishi chair and watched a young and graceful woman next to him pour tea into two teacups on the table. Seeing Luo Hou walking up the steps and standing at the door, he didn't get up, but just asked with his right hand, and said lightly: "Come, sit." β
This middle-aged man is naturally the most powerful person in the entire settlement, Cheng Qiyi, the president of the governance committee.
Luo Hou nodded, walked straight to the opposite side of Cheng Qiyi with a snakeskin bag, bowed slightly, and then sat on the chair.
Under close observation, Luo Hou saw that Cheng Qiyi had a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a faint essence flashed from time to time in a pair of big eyes. Although sitting on the Taishi chair, the tall body still brings people a faint oppressive force, coupled with the fact that he has been in a high position for a long time and is in charge of a settlement of nearly 5,000 people, Cheng Qiyi's whole person has an invisible majesty.
After Luo Hou sat down, Cheng Qiyi glanced at him carefully before he spoke:
"Don't be restrained, drink tea first."
"Thank you, President." Luo Hou picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the yellow-green tea soup with a faint aroma in one gulp. Although he couldn't identify the type of tea, Luo Hou also felt that there was a faint sweetness in his mouth that lingered for a long time, and it should not be ordinary tea.
beckoned to the graceful woman standing next to him to refill the tea for Luo Hou, and Cheng Qiyi asked leisurely:
"I don't know what the name of the little brother is, what's the matter with coming to me?"
Luo Hou tried his best to relax his body and break free from the oppression brought by Cheng Qiyi, before he smiled slightly and replied:
"President Hui, my name is Luo Hou, and I came today to sell something to the president."
Seeing that Luo Hou recovered from the coercion he deliberately exerted so quickly, a look of surprise flashed in Cheng Qiyi's eyes, and he casually glanced at the snakeskin bag that Luo Hou put on the ground, and asked with interest: "Oh, what is the interesting thing, Brother Xiao Luo is not selling in the market outside, you want to bring me here?" β
"The president will know by looking at it, and he will not disappoint you."
Luo Hou opened the snakeskin bag, put the cigarettes wrapped in plastic paper directly on the table, and then unhurriedly opened the plastic paper, revealing the neatly stacked cigarettes inside.
"Huh-" The woman standing next to her pouring tea snorted softly and quickly covered her mouth.
Cheng Qiyi saw the small pile of cigarettes on the table, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Luo Hou seriously again. I really couldn't imagine that this young man, who looked like he should be just an ordinary person, could get so many cigarettes, Cheng Qiyi secretly said "interesting" in his heart, nodded at Luo Hou, and said with a smile:
"Brother Xiao Luo is really good, he can get so many cigarettes! Well, you're right, this thing really didn't disappoint me. β
After roughly estimating the value of these cigarettes, Cheng Qiyi nodded again and said:
"In this way, I won't let you suffer, just according to the market price, how about I buy these cigarettes of yours with a hundred gray crystals?"
"Then thank you, President." In this regard, Luo Hou did not allow it, and it was a completely acceptable price for a hundred gray crystals to pack these cigarettes. Although it is put outside to sell, the harvest may be a little more, but it is too troublesome, and it may attract the attention of people with a heart, and now Luo Hou's own strength is low, so he doesn't dare to ask for trouble.
"Haha, Brother Xiao Luo is really a cheerful person, I appreciate such a young man." Cheng Qiyi laughed, motioned to the woman on the side to get the money, raised the teacup and said, "Come on, drink tea!" β
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and the woman walked out of the back hall with a small plate in her hand and placed it respectfully on the table. Under the bright fluorescent lamp, the small pile of gray crystals the size of pigeon eggs on the plate scattered a silver-gray light as a whole, which almost dazzled Luo Hou's eyes.
β¦β¦β
"Haha, if Brother Xiao Luo has such a good thing in the future, you must leave it to me!"
After the money and goods were gone, Cheng Qiyi beckoned Luo Hou to drink a cup of tea before getting up and watching him walk out of the courtyard.
"Interesting, interesting, an ordinary young man who is not a first-order evolutionary can get so many cigarettes from Weiyang City, it's really not easy - go check it, if you have potential, pay more attention to it for a while."
"Yes!" The woman bowed back and stepped back into the backyard.
