Chapter 269: A middleman
"Do you want to make a deal?"
Chu Zihang asked.
Seeing that he suddenly did not move, the ratskin man's heart tightened, and he was confused again when he heard this.
Of course, they do it, and despite their self-sufficiency, there is still a lot to rely on to exchange with the outside world.
It's just that everyone just met in the water, and they weren't in some recognized trade area, so why did they suddenly mention this stubble?
"What deal?"
However, the ratskin man did not directly refuse, it is better to make a deal than to fight.
And if the transaction is successful, even if the goods are not found, this time it will not be empty-handed.
"Water purification chips."
Chu Zihang said.
Hearing this, the other ratskin people were still confused, but the eyes of the ratskin and the ratskin leader lit up.
"Do you have a water purification chip in your hand?"
The Rat Skin Man asked excitedly.
"That's right."
He nodded.
"How many do you have?"
The Rat Skin Man asked again.
"How many pieces can you eat?"
Chu Zihang asked rhetorically.
"This"
The ratskin man was thinking about the tribe's family background, and his face was difficult to look at.
"Talk?"
Chu Zihang raised his chin into the corner.
"Talk."
The ratskin man struggled to smile in a friendly way, though it looked even more hideous.
"Ten, take the people to guard outside."
He said to the leader of the Ratskins.
"Shaman, can he be trusted?"
Ten worried.
"I've taught you everything about managing the tribe."
The ratskin man said.
"Got it."
Ten Chao Chu Zihang raised his gun in demonstration, and then withdrew from the front hall with the ratskin people.
"My name is Beast, and I am the shaman and patriarch of the Water Tribe."
The two stood facing each other, and the ratskin man introduced himself first.
The large ratskin tribes will separate the shaman and the patriarch positions, but the smaller tribes usually have one person at the same time.
"My name is Chu and I'm a treasure hunter."
Chu Zihang also made up an identity for himself.
A treasure hunter is a person who makes a living by looking for technological relics or other treasures, and of course he also does some robbery, stealing and other things to make a living.
When most unemployed Dinest people introduce themselves, they will say that they are treasure hunters.
"Hello, Chu, nice to meet you."
The Rat Skin Man tries to show his kindness as much as possible.
"Hello, beast."
When Chu Zihang said his name, his expression was a little strange.
"Haha, I'm old now, and I used to kill a lot of fierce prey when I was young."
The ratskin man said proudly.
Chu Zihang nodded, expressing his belief in this.
The attitude of the ratskin people is friendly, but the body is always ready to erupt.
"So, can we start talking about trading?"
He couldn't wait.
"Yes, you can make an offer."
Chu Zihang is indispensable.
"Is the water chip intact?"
The Rat Skin Man confirmed.
"Ten percent new and undamaged, you can use it when you turn on electricity."
Chu Zihang said.
The rat-skinned man was happy at first, and then became uncomfortable again.
Ten percent of the new water purification chips are of course good, but their tribe can't exchange them for something of corresponding value.
The last battle with the mutants consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the tribe was almost out of the pot.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him, the shaman, to lead the team personally.
"I don't like, so let's be honest."
Chu Zihang interrupted his thoughts.
"You say."
The Rat Skin Man said humbly.
"You should have your own trading channels, right?"
He asked.
"Of course."
The credibility of the ratskin people is okay, and they have a sense of similar superpowers to the bottom nest, and can find many hidden snow areas that others can't find.
Therefore, there will be many merchants who will come to them and want to buy good things from them for a small amount of money.
"I can hand over the water purification chips to you to sell, and the proceeds can be divided into 20% for you."
Chu Zihang made his own conditions.
He originally wanted to give it to him to sell when the hammer was cured, but after thinking about it, it seemed more reliable to hand it over to the ratskin tribe to sell on his behalf.
"Of course you can."
The ratskin man said without hesitation.
Of course he knew there must be something wrong with this, but the Rat Man didn't care.
Twenty percent of the profit is enough to make the tribe comfortable for a while, as for the troubles that may be brought in the future.
Wouldn't it be that if this deal wasn't made, there wouldn't be much trouble for the tribe?
Those mutants will definitely come to the door again, without enough weapons and strong bodies, what do they use to resist?
"But I have two conditions."
Chu Zihang said.
"You don't have to mention it."
"First, that ten was left as a hostage. Second, I want you to get me as many things as possible. ”
He made a list
With these things, Chu Zihang can almost walk unhindered in the bottom nest.
The first condition was expected by the ratskin man, and the second condition made him a little embarrassed.
"It's okay for Ten to stay as a hostage, it's just that the things you said are hard to get."
The ratskin man said frankly.
"That's your business. This time I will trade one piece first, and if I am satisfied, there will be more. ”
Chu Zihang said.
And more?
"Okay, I'll figure it out."
The eyes of the ratskin people are full of thirst for money.
Chu Zihang pretended to go back to pick up the goods, and took a long detour before returning to the water purification plant.
After handing over a water purification chip to the ratskin man, he left with Ten as a hostage.
The ratskin man took the initiative to tie up Ten and blindfolded him.
The latter also accepted the fate of being a hostage, and did not seem to worry at all that his people would sell him.
Chu Zihang saw it in his eyes, and his evaluation of these subspecies was a few points higher.
In the future, if you go to the Warhammer universe, you can propose to the Lu Mingfei brothers that these ratskin people are also included in the emperor's brilliance.
Even if you can't become an excellent soldier, being a warband servant is a good choice.
Returning to the safety point with ten, Chu Zihang shouted at a pile of boxes.
"Come out, hammer, fire."
After a rustling sound, the hammer came out of the box first, followed by the little red head.
"Boss, who is this?"
Hammer asked, looking at Ten.
"It's ten, I made a deal with the ratskin people, and this is a hostage they sent."
Chu Zihang said simply.
"Boss, did you hit a big prey?"
This sentence was asked by fire.
"That's right, big, big prey."
He said as he looked into the innocent eyes of the fire.
"Is it that big?"
The fire spread his arms as far as he could, drawing a circle above his head.
"Bigger than that."
Chu Zihang said.
"Wow, that's really big. Boss, you're amazing. ”
Fire said seriously.
Chu Zihang snorted and gave her the little water he had left.
"Daddy, you drink."
The fire changed hands and was handed to the hammer.
"My stomach is full of water, you can drink it."
Hammer shook his head.
"Oh."
Huo took a sip of water, a look of satisfaction on his face.
So as not to cause extraneous branches, Chu Zihang did not go out hunting again.
In order to save his stamina, he hid in the box like the hammers.
Between being half-awake and half-asleep, soon, the agreed trading time arrived.
