Chapter 405: So I didn’t get the potion?

Sheng Fei's transaction took too long this time, and he didn't come out for a long time. The team members who were waiting were getting anxious.

It even alarmed the base commander...

"Not out yet?" Captain Lu came over quickly with a serious expression.

"No, I didn't come out during the whole process."

Hu Ming replied nervously.

They often follow Sheng Fei here to trade.

If there is anything needed, he will usually come out in the middle and ask everyone to help prepare.

But this time, he brought all the crystal cores in, but they never came out again. It has been several hours, and there is still no movement.

The assistant beside the base commander speculated, "We have a lot of crystal cores this time, maybe..."

"Xu Ping!"

Captain Lu Ji stopped him directly.

He believed in Sheng Fei's judgment and the credibility of the exchange.

Life-saving medicines are priceless, yet they offered thousands of them. Furthermore, food in the apocalypse is even more precious than gold, so they offered no less.

Those storage rings and special weapons all demonstrate the opponent's strength.

There was no need for her to covet their crystal cores.

If you become unreasonably suspicious just because of a little waiting, it will certainly make others feel cold.

Assistant Xu Ping realized his slip of the tongue and quickly explained, "I'm just worried. I don't mean anything else. I've never heard of such a situation before."

"We haven't changed so many medicines before, we must have time to prepare!" Zhang Kai was carefree. Although he was anxious, he was very confident.

Captain Lu Ji also had the same idea and nodded. "Wait a little longer, keep an eye on it, and if anything happens, immediately..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure walked out.

As soon as Sheng Fei came out, he realized that the atmosphere was not right.

"What's wrong?"

He asked subconsciously.

Zhang Kai immediately surrounded them and started to speak loudly, "Deputy Captain Sheng, you've finally come out! They all thought you were carrying too many crystal cores and were blackmailed by the boss!"

He was a former team member, and in a hurry, people still got used to calling him Deputy Captain Sheng.

It is also the unique name of their team.

However, these words left everyone speechless, "..."

Hu Ming refused to take the blame and pointed his finger at his assistant next to him.

"It's just him, not us."

“…”

Xu Ping's face turned pale and red, and he said awkwardly, "Sorry, Deputy Base Commander, I was just too concerned and spoke nonsense."

"The things we exchanged for are extremely valuable, so we were already getting a bargain. The boss runs his business with integrity, so it's impossible for him to cheat us out of our stuff." He corrected him seriously.

Xu Ping nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would not make random guesses anymore.

After hearing what he said, Captain Lu Ji also asked, "What's going on? Did the transaction go smoothly?"

"It went very smoothly."

Sheng Fei gave him an affirmative answer, "And there are unexpected gains."

Captain Lu Ji, "???"

Sheng Fei took out the newly purchased storage ring and handed it to Director Lu Ji to see.

Captain Lu Ji knew about storage rings before, and he also knew how amazing this thing was. He also heard that he had ordered some more, but they had not arrived yet.

Now look at this situation...

His eyes flickered slightly, and his fingertips stroked the brightly colored pattern. "Is this the new one? Has it arrived?"

Sheng Fei nodded, "Yes! We have another group of space ability users. Even if we form an alliance, our speed in collecting supplies will be many times faster than other bases!"

Captain Lu Ji did not ignore his wording. It was "a batch", he subconsciously asked.

"How much is this space ring?"

"Fifty."

Sheng Fei added, "Because the boss knows our plan, he supports us and is willing to continue lending us the storage ring he originally lent us."

That's why he said that on the basis of the original, there was an additional batch...

"That's great! I said that the boss is a kind-hearted person and is our savior!" Zhang Kai was the first to express his emotion.

The other team members agreed, but couldn't help but tease him, "You talk like you've seen her before, and that's how you know she's beautiful?"

Zhang Kai said without hesitation, "In my heart, she is the most beautiful! Like a fairy!"

This time, no one objected.

Because they think the same way.

No matter what this young boss looks like, her generous act of saving lives is the most beautiful.

Captain Lu Ji's first reaction also added confidence to the alliance.

I was worried before that I would have to lead the team and collect supplies, and that changes in the team would lead to a reduction in supplies.

This way there will be less to exchange.

But it seems that most people carrying this storage ring and walking at the front of the team can actually collect more and more useful supplies.

"By the way, what about the price...?"

After being delighted, Director Lu Ji quickly remembered something important.

The crystal cores they brought with them were mainly intended to be exchanged for potions.

Sheng Fei didn't seem to understand what he meant, and directly stated the price, "One million crystal cores, ten storage rings. But the boss said there is a discount for the first ten, buy one get one free."

There was a certain amount of ulterior motive in what he said.

The information that potions could be purchased in batches and storage rings could be used on credit was concealed.

It creates an illusion.

Ten crystal cores for one million, buy one get one free for the first ten. Doesn’t that mean all four million crystal cores for exchanging potions have been used up?

Sure enough, everyone felt a little melancholy after listening to it.

So you didn't get the medicine?

But this melancholy only lasted for a short while. After all, the team members did not need to consider the overall situation. They had used potions before and did not have such a great need for them.

On the contrary, the storage ring will be of great help to their next battle.

Therefore, the only one who was melancholy was Captain Lu Ji.

To initiate an alliance, potions are required.

But after waiting for the storage ring for so long, it was impossible for him to give it up. Sheng Fei's decision to take it immediately was the right one.

The most important thing right now is where to get another batch of crystal cores to exchange for potions...

"Xu Ping, send a message to headquarters. Count the current inventory of crystal cores and deliver four million to City A before dawn. The base's exchange period for energy-enhancing agents will be extended by three days. All other plans will be suspended until the base commanders' meeting is over before making a decision."

Captain Lu Ji only thought for a moment and made a quick and decisive decision.

Since we want to form an alliance, we might as well allocate all existing resources to this plan.

Waiting for this small branch to become self-sufficient is too slow.

Now that they have this opportunity, they must do their best to make a good start for the alliance's first battle.

When Sheng Fei heard the order, his eyes lit up slightly.

He was right.

The headquarters is conserving its strength.

The Central Base trusts him and is willing to give him such great power, of course, because they are also interested in the resources he has.

But the official base has to maintain a balance, not only making bold attacks but also keeping the fire burning.

So they will definitely try their best to let him make more contributions.

Sheng Fei is willing to give his all and contribute greatly to this alliance, but he hopes that the official decision will be bolder.

Only by going all out can we have a better chance of ending the apocalypse...

He asked in a serious tone, "Can it be delivered before dawn? Is it in time? I've been waiting for the main storage ring for so long. If I don't get it quickly, I'm worried something else might happen."

Captain Lu Ji looked at him meaningfully, "You did the right thing. You must act decisively when necessary. I was overthinking it!"
