Chapter 80: Planting Grass

The money exchange process was very smooth, and in a fairly pleasing neighborhood, Wang Shui casually found a professional money bank and exchanged it for 2,000 dream points.

He exchanged 2,100 points for 20 black alloy coins, and 100 points were the handling fee.

This alloy coin is a popular currency, with denominations of 1, 10, and 100, and is accepted among most civilizations.

Dream Points, no different from the credits of many civilizations, are benchmarked against this alloy coin in a fixed proportion to facilitate efficient trade.

Silver and gold coins, in fact, are the same as energy crystal coins, they are special alchemy items, not general equivalents, they do not make monetary circulation, and their value fluctuates greatly.

The average price of silver coins is 1,000 yuan, but in some developed places, the minimum amount of silver coins can be around 870 yuan, but if the intensity of the war is high enough, it can soar to more than 1,500 yuan.

Essentially, silver coins are a commodity, and everything else that bears the name "coin" is similar.

Electronic money such as Dream Points is very convenient and practical among the Awakened, but if you want to do business in this complex ruined city, it is safer to have physical currency, at least it will be more efficient when you lose money to save your life.

Wang Shui was playing with a brand-new coin between his fingers, which he didn't use at all when he was in Iron Edge City, so he had only seen it and never changed it.

The colorful black alloy coins have a circuit board-like protrusion of the line, the number "100", and a small amount of issuance information, and the texture makes people feel strangely satisfied and down-to-earth.

It was in this sense of steadiness that Wang Shui started his own shopping.

Each neighborhood has its own business, as well as areas for production and sales.

Aqua regia quickly replenished some consumables in several alchemy workshops, such as blank, energy-conductive paper cards, such as semi-finished inks without "feeding", such as some calibrated experimental gages.

After buying these things, he walked into an old, crowded shop.

The word stale is a rarity in the city, and it means that the shop was lucky enough not to be destroyed by artillery fire for a long time.

The sign outside the store said [Mo Wu Plant], and as soon as Wang Shui entered the door, he smelled a mixed smell of medicinal herbs, and he frowned, strengthening the effect of [Array Annihilation Cycle].

Although he is not sure, common sense tells him that this kind of clutter will mess up his body.

At the entrance of the store are waterproof and moisture-resistant multi-layered sacks, and composite boxes containing various air-dried herbs.

On the left and right sides of the entrance, there are various seedlings and seeds, which are neatly arranged on the display shelves according to certain rules, and each group of goods is marked with words and numbers.

The shop is small and simple, but it is neat and orderly, and there is a wide variety of goods.

Wang Shui walked to the innermost part of the long and narrow store, and only then did he see the clerk behind the huge counter.

The huge wooden counter, which seems to have been cut out of a large tree root, is filled with various crystal bottles containing liquid or pill-like medicines, in addition to a few office supplies and a terminal.

It seems that in addition to seeds, seedlings and semi-finished herbs, finished medicines are also sold.

The clerk behind the counter was leaning on a recliner reading a book, ignoring Wang Shui, who had already walked to the counter.

He was not human, with a long but not thin body, a thin face, a high-end dress between a formal dress and a regular dress, small round glasses with metal rimmed, and a little pointed at the top of his ear.

He has his left hand behind his head, his right hand is holding the book, his fingers are flexible and gently turning the pages, his temperament is very special, indifferent and elegant, but the messy dark green medium and long hair makes him look a little young.

This was just an impression from Wang Shui, and he took the initiative to say:

"I need seeds for food crops, either in the high-yielding and improved or in the low-order transcendent type."

"No, food crops are more illegal than neurointerventional drugs."

The clerk's voice was very light, he didn't lift his eyelids when he answered Wang Shui, and his [modern Utula] (lingua franca) tone was strange.

Wang Shui didn't say much nonsense, and turned around to leave, but when he walked to the door, his eyes were attracted by a group of sample seedlings, the familiar wide leaf surface has blood-red lines, and under the seedlings is the seed box.

โ€œใ€Sยท Nยท M9711 Dragon's Heart]? โ€

Wang Shui read the voice, and then a light voice came from behind him.

"Solanaceae, tobacco genus, special black flower tobacco, the original strain is the [Behemoth] series, 9711 is an unstable category that has not been domesticated after mutation, and it is very difficult to take care of. A slight change in the environment will greatly change the flavor of the produced commodity, and it is an extremely unstable commodity species, and this strain has almost been abolished. โ€

Wang Shui looked back, and the clerk still didn't raise his eyes, but he quickly and accurately reported the details of the plant.

"Price?"

"4,000, a box, 20,000 capsules."

"The price of ordinary tobacco seeds should be in double digits at this quantity, and the price of good varieties is only one or two hundred."

Although Wang Shui was bargaining, he knew in his heart that the price was reasonable.

"You also said that those are just ordinary tobacco, 9711 is an extraordinary plant, the adult strain can reach the second order at the highest, and some people have bred beastly individuals with low-level intelligence."

"But isn't this germ going to be abolished?"

"It is precisely because of the low commercial value that it was abolished, so it was only sold for 4,000, but the abolition does not mean that no one will grow it in the future, and there are still many fanatical fans of this unique flavor of tobacco.

Moreover, this box of seeds is the last stock, probably the last box of the city, and even the planet, and it may not be available in the store in the future, so it is not sold in small quantities, no bargaining, and the whole box is 4,000 yuan. โ€

The clerk, who had a somewhat contemptuous attitude, was very shrewd in doing business, and he saw that Wang Shui really wanted to buy it, so he bit the price and did not let go.

But what the clerk didn't expect was that Wang Shui, the guy who wore the silver medal of the Battle Master on his chest, really had no money, he really couldn't afford it, and he didn't want to consume silver coins.

"Forget the seeds, what is the price of these seedlings above?"

With Wang Shui's inquiry, the clerk finally stood up.

He leaned forward, his left elbow landed on the counter, his left cheek was propped up with his empty hand, and his green eyes looked at Shui Wang through the crystal lens, and he said after a full ten seconds:

"50 pieces a plant, all of them are on it."

"Are there only 12 in total?"

"Only? You haven't grown anything extraordinary, have you? With a complete understanding of the characteristics and needs of the plant, it takes tens or hundreds of years to plant, domesticate, and improve a plant.

If you want to grow extraordinary seeds again, you not only need environment and luck, but also need you to have extraordinary abilities such as [plant affinity], you seem to be very confident in planting, do you have this ability? โ€

"Well, I didn't." Wang Shui said frankly.

"I have, I have grown all the plant seedlings in this store, and I have an authoritative opinion about their value.

When they grow to a certain extent, even if they can't be sold, they will be packaged and bought by various institutions, organizations, laboratories and other institutions as research or teaching materials.

These 12 9711 plants were cultivated by me using 2,000 seeds, and they are not ordinary potted plants. โ€

This clerk ...... Although it is very light to receive guests, it seems that there are two brushes.

"Then, I'll buy it all, go back and study your hard work."

The atmosphere was weird, Wang Shui just wanted to pay and leave quickly.

"Sell, you can sell it, but the price can be negotiated again."

"Huh?" This really blinded the water of the king, what, temporarily increase the money? Will you do business, brother?

"For the price, if you can provide me with some blood, I can give you these twelve tobacco seedlings and that box of seeds for free."

When he heard the blood, Wang Shui was just an ordinary startle, but when he heard that it was free, his body was paralyzed like electricity, and at the same time, he remembered the wise saying in his mind:

[Free is the most expensive]

"Can you tell me why?"

The other party's attitude was not particularly ruthless, and Wang Shui didn't feel malice, so he asked directly.

"Of course, you're a pure-blood, aren't you? It has not undergone any transformation, has not been mutated, has not been eroded by excessive energy, and the alchemy array is only engraved on the surface of the body, right?

You are so pure, even your energy is the cleanest without attributes, and your blood is the medium and important tonic that many special plants need. โ€

"[Newborn Blood]? Here, this city, is there still a lack of my blood? โ€

"Of course there is no shortage, but the goods in the city are not as good as yours, and the blood, either from slaves or some scumbag factory, naturally carries a negative label in the occult sense.

You are different, you are natural, healthy and pure, your blood is full of vitality, and it is a good material that is rare to see.

I haven't seen you before, but today I would like to give you a word of advice, your blood is quite valuable here, but don't think about making money by selling blood, drawing too much blood will reduce your extraordinary qualifications, it will make your physical fitness decline, and then your blood quality will also decline, and then, it will be a cycle of evil deeds.

My advice is to divide up to 600ml of blood every month, and you should always use supplements to maintain a certain level of exercise, so that it will not cause a burden on your body, but will improve your physique.

Of course, I want you to sell me the blood directly, 600 ml, I can prescribe you 5000 yuan, and send you some supplements, believe me, this is a very high price. โ€

Very sincere, very caring, and not impatient, the other party seems to really want the blood of aqua regia.

But Wang Shui didn't think about it, he directly took out six alloy coins with a face value of 100, stacked them on the display shelf beside him, and then put the 12 tobacco seedlings one by one into a simple plant transfer box at his feet.

"You don't need money for this box, do you?" Wang Shui asked more.

"Of course, the price of the box is already included in the cargo."

Although Wang Shui made it clear that he would not sell it, the clerk was still calm.

After packing up the seedlings, Wang Shui left silently, and Sylvia, who was waiting at the door, also followed, she hated the smell of herbs mixed in the store, but she also listened to the whole process.

Getting rid of the clerk's interested gaze, Sylvia said:

"A high elf, it seems to be a natural race, if I'm not mistaken, the natural high elves, all of them are super civilized [Scarlet Silk] royalty or nobles, I didn't expect that there would be a high elf to open a store in this kind of place?"

"At first, I thought he was just a clerk, and his temperament reminded me of a college teacher."

Wang Shui complained to Sylvia while carrying his big bag of harvest.

"Actually, what he said is fine," Sylvia smiled and gave Wang Shui an idea,

"Selling some blood every month really won't hurt your body too much, and the character of the high elf is not bad, I believe he won't curse you with your blood, after all, there is no hatred."

"I don't trust my life on someone else's character...... I hadn't thought much of the curse, and there were only two reasons why I didn't want to sell blood.

First, when I was very short of money and in dire need of money, I sold my blood to a priest of the [Rose God], and he offered a very high price, 30,000 yuan, 1,500 ml. โ€

"This amount of blood loss, if it weren't for the magic of the Rossin God, you wouldn't be able to get out of bed for half a year, and you might even be irreversibly damaged.

The god of roses restricts the believer's thirst for blood, and if you dare to smoke so much, the only one who can save your life should be [Winter], right? โ€

"Uh, yes, is he famous? He has only been mentioned occasionally. โ€

"[Scarlet Bullet], a very famous fourth-order master, his character is also good, and he is very low-key."

"Yes, it's him, but even if it's his high price, I won't sell blood anymore."

"Why?"

"That's the second point, because the dead sisters...... They were transformed into the cleanest and purest philosopher's stones, mixed into my blood. The liquid Philosopher's Stone exists on its own, but it is also fully mixed with my blood, and it does not interfere with each other, and it is inseparable from each other. โ€

"Oh." Sylvia flatly agreed.

The atmosphere was a little low, but the two of them thought jumped, and the topic changed quickly, there are some things that cannot be changed, which cannot be forgotten, but they should be revealed.

Soon, the two returned to the north gate and met the salesman Red Dog who was watching the car outside.

Wang Shui bounced a 100 alloy coin, the red dog smiled and caught it, stuffed it into his pocket without looking, and then returned the car key to Wang Shui.

"Brother Shui! Add a friend on the trading platform, what goods do you want in the future, just inform the brothers, and the lowest freight will be within 100 kilometers! โ€

"Okay, next time I get the goods, I will definitely look for you and make a fortune together."

"Yes, get rich together!"

The red dog is very energetic, and he doesn't have a low-lying posture, in fact, he is more reliable than many flattering guys, at least Wang Shui likes this little brother a lot.

The broken car set off, and the original carriage definitely couldn't fit the materials just bought, and most of the metal materials were installed on the back four bare plate frames.

Wang Shui drove very slowly, in fact, the small broken car, which was originally just a refrigerated truck, would never be able to drag so much burden.

The little broken car has been strengthened by aqua regia with alchemy, and it can be pulled, but there is no way to slow it.

Driving far to the north, the road had become inferior, Wang Shui drove the car with one hand, put his left hand on the window, and threw out four cards at random behind him.

The spell simulated with the alchemy array took effect, and the frame behind it was obscured by attributeless energy and entered an invisible state.

Sylvia, who was on the co-pilot, also flew a small drone to check the situation in all directions from a high altitude.

Deliberately slowing down, Wang Shui turned into the field when there were no vehicles in front and behind.

The grass and shrubs behind were naturally pressed into obvious marks, and at this time, the two Hill sisters came out of the woods, and they quickly cleaned up the traces with alchemy.

After clearing some distance, the two younger sisters also jumped into the slow-moving little broken car and sat quietly behind Sylvia.

Speaking of which, these sisters will be lively when they are alone or only in front of Wang Shui, but as long as Sylvia is present, they will subconsciously keep quiet.

Sylvia was also troubled by her relationship with her sisters, so she took the initiative to ask:

"Are the bandits cleaned up? Has anyone been hurt? โ€

"It's cleaned up, 97 robbers, one is a second order, twelve are a first order, the transcendents can't keep their hands, all of them have been killed, the remaining 84 are still alive, four sisters have been slightly injured, the robbers' stronghold has medicine, and the injuries have been treated."

One of the younger sisters, Hill, reported carefully to Sylvia, and the wolf's ears twitched, destroying the seriousness on her face.

"Set up a permanent guard trap in a while, and we're going to build a small base."

With Wang Shui's words, the little broken car barely dragged the heavy frame behind it, and drove into the dense forest with difficulty, driving towards those wild mountains.
