Not a natural disaster! After struggling in the apocalypse for five years, Jiang Nian'an was ultimately betrayed by her best friend, who was like a sister to her, and died tragically at the han...
"Oh? Your sister is at the market too?"
Bai Zeyi's eyes darted around, and he immediately gave up the idea of going home. After instructing the Bai family members who were delivering supplies to return to their home first, he also headed towards the base.
Song Zhao thought about it for a moment, and finally followed after him.
Young Master Bai is always generous; going to the market with him might bring some benefits.
Jiang Nian'an noticed Bai Zeyi almost as soon as he caught up.
She observed him discreetly for a while and found that he was just following them at a distance, seemingly only by chance that he was going the same way as them.
But Jiang Nian'an didn't believe it.
She saw it clearly from the base entrance; Bai Zeyi obviously wanted to leave, but now he's followed her.
In addition, she had just hit Bai Zhenzhen not long ago...
No one would believe that this guy wasn't after her!
Jiang Nian'an understood the situation and became secretly on guard, but on the surface she still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
She quickly caught up with Yunfan and Xiaolongzhan, and they walked into the Beijing base market together, chatting and laughing.
The market at the base was bustling with activity, and various colorful cloths were laid out on both sides of the road.
Each piece of cloth was like a small stall, displaying a far greater variety of goods than what they had seen at the market in the mountain city base.
Everyday items, toys, attribute crystal cores, jewelry, pelts of mutated animals, various animal bones that can be forged into weapons, and even eggs of mutated animals and seeds of mutated plants...
It can be described as having everything.
"Third Brother, put me down quickly!"
Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Xiao Longzhan's eyes sparkled with excitement; he was incredibly thrilled.
"etc!"
Jiang Nian'an stopped Yun Fan, took out an anti-loss leash, put it on Xiao Longzhan, and then let Yun Fan put him down.
"Third Brother, keep an eye on Xiaolongzhan, I'm going to check on the crystal core."
“Okay, go ahead!” Yunfan nodded readily.
Jiang Nian'an walked towards a small stall not far away, where they found the attribute crystals they needed.
As soon as Xiao Longzhan landed, he ran towards a mutated bird egg.
The bird egg was as big as a football, light green, and covered with light gray stripes.
At first glance, it looks like a cantaloupe.
"Boss, how much is this egg?"
Xiao Longzhan squatted in front of the bird eggs, looking up at the boss opposite him.
The boss is a slightly balding, chubby man.
He saw that the person asking the price was a child and didn't want to pay attention to him, but then he suddenly noticed that the other end of the leash was in Yunfan's hand.
The young master of the Yun family!
The boss was secretly thrilled that he was going to make a fortune, and his attitude instantly became enthusiastic.
"Little brother, this number is for this egg!"
He made a "two" gesture towards Xiao Longzhan and emphasized that he only traded rice and flour.
"Only two kilograms of rice? That's cheaper than the pastries I bought at the mountain market base!"
Xiao Longzhan looked innocent and took out two jin of rice.
The boss's face darkened, and his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed tightly together.
He deliberately only made a gesture, without mentioning a specific price, because he thought the child wouldn't understand prices and might say an extremely high number, so he would just agree to it.
What did this kid say? Two pounds?
His egg is so big, yet it's not even worth two pounds of eggs?
"I think you're living too comfortably and don't want to stay in Beijing anymore!"
Yunfan walked to Xiaolongzhan's side, looking down at the boss sitting on the curb with a cold gaze.
They dare to fool and deceive the little guy right in front of him; they don't take him seriously at all!
"No, no, no!"
The shopkeeper panicked and quickly got up to push the bird eggs into Xiao Longzhan's arms, a smile that looked more like a grimace on his face. "Young Master is so clever, it's just two pounds of rice."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Xiao Longzhan handed over two jin of rice, then took out a net bag and put the bird eggs in it like watermelons.
Then he picked up the net bag and ran towards Jiang Nian'an, who had just bought the crystal cores.
"Sister, look!"
Xiao Longzhan held his hand high, the bird egg dangling in his hand. "Such a big bird egg, only two pounds of rice, what a bargain!"
When we get back, I'll have my sister bake some bird eggs for him; they'll be absolutely delicious!
Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in Jiang Nian'an's eyes. "Only two jin of rice?"
"Um!"
Xiao Longzhan nodded emphatically, then ran to her side, tugged at Jiang Nian'an's sleeve to make her squat down, and whispered in her ear,
"That boss was bad; he tried to trick me into paying a high price, and then my third brother got angry, so he said he'd sell me two jin of rice."
Jiang Nian'an understood, patted his little head, and said nothing.
If the little guy tries to force the other party to sell at a low price by abusing his power, she definitely won't let him do whatever he wants.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, their every move represents the Shen family's actions.
Even if it's just for Brother Shen, she can't let the Shen family's reputation be ruined.
But if the other party has bad intentions first, then I'm sorry.
She's kind enough not to have ruined him.
"Third brother, this is for you!"
Jiang Nian'an handed the ten ice-type crystal cores she had just bought to Yun Fan.
Yunfan didn't stand on ceremony with her and accepted it directly.
The three continued walking forward, and Jiang Nian'an bought all the attribute crystals that suited them.
"There are snake eggs!"
Xiao Longzhan then saw two more pure black snake eggs, each about the size of his little fist.
"Sister, let's buy them and have them as little brothers for Little Silver and the King!"
"Are those snake eggs?"
"Buy it if you want, I'll agree!"
Yunfan and Jiang Nian'an spoke at the same time, one in shock and the other with doting affection.
"My sister is so kind!"
The little guy first hugged Jiang Nian'an's hand with a look of dependence and gently rubbed against it before answering Yunfan, "Yes, Third Brother!"
