Chapter 371 Exchange
"Thank... thank you, Sister Hong." Xiao Wu's voice trembled, but he tried his best to stand firm.
Liang Hong didn't look at him, but glanced down at the corpse on the ground. Her dark golden vertical pupils gleamed with a cold light in the night.
Everyone who coveted Xiao Wu's potion glanced at Liang Hong with apprehension.
She glanced back indifferently, made no response, and continued cooking.
The dark blue-green serpent phantom finally vanished completely, as if it had never existed.
Only then did the onlookers dare to breathe.
Some people lowered their heads to avoid eye contact, while others silently retreated; some looked at the potion in Xiao Wu's hand, the greed in their eyes completely extinguished, leaving only complex and indescribable emotions.
Fang Bo stood there, gripping the long knife he had been polishing all afternoon, his fingers trembling slightly.
He looked at Xiao Wu, then at the half-dead, still-bleeding corpse on the ground, his Adam's apple bobbed, and without saying a word, he turned and disappeared into the crowd.
"Silly boy, let's go. Are you still waiting here to be carried back?" Ivan patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, his words were vicious, but a rare gentleness appeared on his face.
"Wait!" Xiao Wu didn't listen to Ivan and leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and picked up the long knife that Li Jianqiu had dropped.
Ivan looked at him, and the disappointment in his eyes had faded considerably; at least he had guts.
"Thank you, Brother Ivan."
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? I'm in the same car as you, do you really expect me to protect you forever?" Ivan said irritably.
Ivan escorted Xiao Wu back to the truck in the camp.
The trade fair has nothing to do with them anymore.
……
However, this is when the trading truly reaches its climax.
Because all the ordinary people in those teams saw the hope of advancing to the extraordinary ranks.
They placed all their hopes on the few people in the Marriott convoy, and suddenly the rare item became dirt cheap.
Compared to awakening, rare items are really dirt cheap.
Fu Ruoxue's gaze swept across the camp of the Xinhuo train team, finally landing on the strange objects in the hands of those ordinary people.
One, two, three...
It really is true that everyone has one.
When did rare and unusual things become commonplace?
Even their Marriott fleet, having come this far since the apocalypse, has only accumulated a mere dozen or so rare items.
Most of them were obtained by exchanging medicine with other teams.
It either came from a sequence transaction with one's own father.
The salary train team, consisting of ordinary people who seemed harmless, actually had one for each of them.
Is this normal?
Fu Ruoxue clearly understood something as well.
Now the situation seems to have reversed, and the medicine for their Marriott team has become worthless.
The fact that the Xinhuo team possessed so many rare items clearly indicated that they had special means, and he had no choice but to speak up.
No convoy would remain indifferent to so many strange objects.
"Miss Fu is interested?" Fu Xiaojian's voice came from the side, with just the right amount of laughter.
Fu Ruoxue withdrew her gaze and looked at the young man of the same clan in front of her.
Before the apocalypse, she had no recollection of this name.
But the brief negotiation this afternoon made her realize that this person was not as simple as he seemed.
"Name your terms!" Fu Ruoxue said without beating around the bush.
Fu Xiaojian smiled.
"readily!"
"One rare item in exchange for a potion, plus three bizarre drops," Xu Si said, handing over his sword.
Fu Xiaojian couldn't help but laugh when he thought of all the strange and unusual items, swords and knives, in his trunk. Finally, he had met a decent buyer.
"A rare item in exchange for a potion?" Fu Ruoxue sensed the rare item in her hand.
"Plus three more strange drops!" Fu Xiaojian added.
"Impossible! The rare item you have is only ranked outside the top 8,000. If the other rare items were of this level, you wouldn't even be able to exchange them for a single potion, let alone two rare drops!"
This was clearly a test of Fu Xiaojian's bottom line.
She naturally had no idea what kind of bottom line Fu Xiaojian had.
With Xu Si's [Blade Stone] around, you can have as many rare items as you want.
He was just asking for exorbitant prices.
"Our blacksmiths have to use at least two strange drops to forge a single rare item. I may not make money, but I can't afford to lose money, can I?" Fu Xiaojian began to complain about being poor.
Fu Ruoxue stared at Fu Xiaojian, unable to discern whether what he said was true or false.
This made it even more difficult for her to make a decision.
In fact, Fu Wanhao could also exchange for rare items. Misu's drawing board was exchanged by Fu Wanhao using the broker sequence, which he used as a bargaining chip to recruit her into the team.
However, the cost of each exchange is too high, and the cost of the rare items exchanged is even more unimaginable.
Can you imagine what Misu, who used to be a sunny and cheerful young man in his twenties, has become?
Fu Ruoxue remained silent for a few seconds, her gaze lingering on Fu Xiaojian's face.
This young man from the same clan was smiling like a fox.
"Brother, please stop joking with your little sister. Name a price that's negotiable. If it's suitable, we'll definitely take it!" Fu Ruoxue was naturally familiar with negotiation skills.
Seeing the woman's fickle nature, Fu Xiaojian couldn't help but become cautious.
He never intended to sell the potion and the three strange drops at this price.
It's just a price-testing stone.
Buyers won't panic once he quotes the actual price.
"I have no reason to lie to you. Forging a rare item requires at least two strange drops, so you'd need at least three strange drops in exchange for one rare item, or an Awakening Potion. This is a very reasonable price."
Fu Ruoxue still didn't believe it.
However, this is already close to her desired price.
Having a rare artifact makes one infinitely stronger than fighting empty-handed.
Half of their convoy's combat personnel still lack combat artifacts.
If the salary train fleet runs out of medicine, they can also raise the price or offer an equivalent exchange.
However, Xu Si broke all the rules.
This monstrous fighting force not only completely suppressed them, but also crushed their prized supply lines.
When medicines can't fetch a good price, then one is at the mercy of others.
Fu Ruoxue remained silent for a few seconds, her clear, cold eyes gleaming with a complex light in the firelight.
"Brother, how about we offer you the cost price? How about two of these strange drops?"
Fu Xiaojian smiled, a smile that made Fu Ruoxue want to turn around and leave immediately.
He almost blurted out his agreement, but thankfully he had good self-control.
"The strange drops really don't make money. Isn't Miss Fu a pharmacist? I can make a concession. One Awakening Potion can be exchanged for two rare items!" Fu Xiaojian was already rubbing his hands together in his heart.
Fu Ruoxue felt even worse.
Marriott's fleet doesn't have many Awakening Potions left.
Some of them have already awakened to the truth among their own people, otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives for you?
The remaining three awakening potions were also used to win over other members of the unfamiliar convoy.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered to exchange it for a strange drop.
This put her in a dilemma.
Without Xu Si, at worst they could go to war with the Xin Huoche team, and the outcome would be uncertain.
but……
