Even the Emperor hadn't expected her to use such words to shut him up, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

The Kingdom of the Emperor: "12 gold coins".

Yan Zi glanced at the gold coin price he had posted and immediately replied, "20 gold coins!"

Emperor's Kingdom: "Deal made."

The transaction went smoothly, but Yan Zi was a little annoyed; the price she offered was indeed too low.

Emperor's Kingdom: "I didn't expect you to be able to handle an elite monster; it shows you're very strong. Would you like to join our team?"

Yan Zi: "I prefer to do things on my own!"

Seeing that she had already gone this far, the Emperor's Kingdom decided not to continue trying to persuade her, and simply left an impression on each other.

"If you encounter any elite monsters in the future, you can trade with us. The price is guaranteed to be higher than in the store. If you encounter a boss, it's best to team up with someone for safety. Bosses are very dangerous, and you can easily lose your life if you're not strong enough."

Yan Zi: "Thank you!"

She is still happy to accept kindness from others.

After talking with the Emperor's Kingdom, she used her talent to double the cactus meat into five portions, and gave one portion to the juice sauce.

The other party was also very surprised after receiving her transaction, and kept talking. Yan Zi chatted with her for a while and learned some things about the desert area.

They don't talk to these outsiders because they're afraid someone will take away their resources and over-exploit them.

Once someone breaks this balance, the monsters here will be completely unleashed, and they will likely face an even more terrible disaster.

They didn't want to move forward so quickly, and even seemed to want to slow down the development.

This suggestion was initially made by the official team.

As it turned out, the first seven-day minor disaster did indeed occur, but it was a good thing for their desert region. It was just a small rainstorm and did not have an overall impact on them; it only nourished the growth of the monsters.

In an area with 100,000 people, less than 10,000 died in District 96. Such a good record shows how correct the decision made by the authorities was, just by looking at the people from the three other districts who joined later.

This is why people are even less willing to develop too early, resulting in many people still being stuck at level 4 or 5...

After hearing this, Yan Zi frowned deeply.

Yan Zi: "Your level is too low. When will you reach level 20? Aren't you guys in a hurry to change jobs?"

Juice Sauce: "Of course we're anxious, but what can we do? Some areas where we can farm monsters together have already been taken over by guild members. They hold onto those spots tightly, and you can only gain experience by joining a guild. But doing so is equivalent to selling your personal freedom and binding yourself to them."

Yan Zi: "Are your areas very close together?"

Juice Sauce: "In the early stages, we kept getting teleportation scrolls from treasure chests, and then the guilds basically collected all the teleportation scrolls. Everyone thought these scrolls would keep appearing in treasure chests, but unexpectedly, once the newbie period was over, there wasn't even any food left in the treasure chests..."

After hearing this, Yan Zi couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Indeed, every region has its own interesting stories!

Yan Zi: "Do you have this kind of scroll? Can I buy it?"

When Guozhijiang saw the message she sent, her eyes lit up with golden light.

"Ahem, I do have a few of these scrolls..."

Yan Zi: "Let's negotiate the price!"

The fruit juice sauce instantly rubbed its hands together and asked an old man sitting next to her.

"Grandpa Jin, a big shot from District 1 wants to trade me for a teleportation scroll. Should we trade with her? What should we trade?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin immediately widened his eyes, then ran to the wooden box next to him and took out all the teleportation scrolls.

"We have over 40 cards in total. We can exchange over 20 directly. As for items... just tell her you want fruits that can boost your own attribute points, or special items will also work!"

After hearing this, Guozhi Jiang couldn't help but gasp!

"Grandpa Jin, do we really need to exchange this much?"

Juice Sauce felt a little heartbroken; these scrolls represented several days' worth of her harvest.

Old Jin glared at her several times. "Have you forgotten what that Zhou kid told you? This Yan Zi has really reaped a lot of benefits in their newbie zone, she must have a lot of rewards in her hands!"

Juice Sauce: "But wouldn't it be a bit premeditated for us to directly ask her for fruit?"

Jin Lao: "These days are different. There aren't many good things like this that can directly increase attribute points just by eating a fruit. We should take as many as possible back while not many people know her identity yet. Right now, guilds are only concerned with their own development. If this continues, those of us with low attributes will be eliminated by them sooner or later..."

Upon hearing this, the juice sauce instantly tensed up.

She immediately began asking, "Brother Yan Zi, I have over 20 fixed-point teleportation scrolls that I can exchange with you, but could I exchange them for that fruit that can increase attribute points?"

Yan Zi was amazed when she saw the message she sent.

It's unbelievable that someone knew she had it!

Yan Zi: "Energy Fruits are very precious, and they can directly increase attribute points, so in terms of price, can one be exchanged for two?"

The juice sauce hesitated for a moment and asked the old man next to her for his opinion.

Mr. Jin nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Fruit juice sauce: "Okay!"

Yan Zi directly sent ten energy fruits and exchanged them for 20 fixed-point teleportation scrolls.

[Item: Fixed-point teleportation scroll (desert area exclusive)]

[Function: Allows for targeted teleportation to a specified location, with automatic locking capability. Each teleportation lasts for one hour.]

Yan Zi looked at the information on it and couldn't help but feel delighted.

Although this teleportation only lasts for one hour, it can be used continuously; it's not the kind that expires after one use...

"Hehe, this is definitely a profitable trade!"

Yan Zi raised her hand and used a talent. The talent was activated, and the dice spun, landing on a seven.

"Tsk tsk, now I have 141 locations to teleport to."

Jin Lao was also quite excited to receive the ten energy fruits that had been passed on to him.

After playing with the fruit for a while, he handed it to his granddaughter next to him, saying, "Eat it quickly."

After hesitating for a moment, the juice jam ate five.

She directly added 5 attribute points to Strength.

Mr. Jin asked her how she was feeling.

Juice Sauce: "Very good, it directly increased by 5 points, and my strength has broken through 10 and reached 15. It's just that the other two attributes can't increase. They said that I need to kill an elite monster to get a breakthrough equipment before I can continue to break through."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin frowned again.

"It seems that those guilds have also discovered these things, which is why they have suppressed everyone's development. The frequency of elite monster spawns is not fixed, but the equipment that drops is useful."

Juice Sauce: "Grandpa Jin, don't worry, I already have 10 points of strength. I'll go grind monsters again tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get it!"

Old Jin nodded with a sigh. He had five left; he needed to do something about them…
