"Sid, can you handle three of them by yourself?" Qin Yiyi took out the brick-shaped black bread and tested its feel. Not bad, it felt like a brick.

Sid smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, Miss. These three orcs are obviously good-for-nothings. They can only deal with useless pure-blooded humans like you. They are no match for ordinary orcs, let alone the brave and invincible Sid!"

"....."

Sid felt a death stare, looked around, and realized the chill was coming from the young lady beside him.

The young lady isn't very capable, but her gaze right now could kill.

“Miss, that’s not what Sid meant. Sid meant that you’re just too weak, that’s why you were abducted… no, it’s that you’re just too useless… no, young lady, please let me explain. I meant that pure-blooded humans are all useless…”

"I didn't mean you're useless, I meant everyone here is trash... Ah, young lady, Sid didn't mean you're trash..."

“Sid..…”

"That's enough. You're right, but you don't need to say it again!"

Sid wanted to speak, but seeing Qin Yiyi's murderous look, he wisely kept quiet.

Fortunately, Sid, who was bad at talking, was very good at fighting. He appeared in front of the three of them in a flash and then forced them into an alley.

In the chaos, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss, and passersby are used to it.

Sid's black eagle feathers flew out with a whoosh, pinning the three of them to the wall.

Qin Yiyi, holding a piece of black bread, gave each person a stick.

"Robbery! Hand over your belongings!"

There were three people: a bull-headed man, a horse-faced man, and a man with deer antlers. Unlike Sid, these three people could not easily retract their orc features. Such people in the wasteland world are called orcs.

"Mercy, boss! Mercy, boss! We don't have any money on us!"

The deer begged for mercy as soon as it opened its mouth.

Unlike the ox-headed and horse-faced demons, they wouldn't beg for mercy like the deer with antlers.

"Horse-faced/Ox-headed have money on them!" Ox-headed and Horse-faced glared at each other.

Qin Yiyi struck several more times with the stick.

"Stop banging! Stop banging! It's making my head spin!"

"There's money inside the antlers, all the money is in the antlers!"

The deer antlers were horrified: "Where would I get money? Do you think deer antlers can hide money?!"

Qin Yiyi was also puzzled; how could money be hidden with two deer antlers on top of one's head?

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He lost half of one of his antlers in a fight, and now it's an artificial antler. He even hides Imperial coins inside it!"

"Damn it!" Deer Antlers glared fiercely at Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Qin Yiyi gave a signal, and Sid reached out and actually removed one of the deer antlers. He shook it.

Qin Yiyi pocketed dozens of gold coins.

"The other two should also shudder. I support everyone exposing each other!" Qin Yiyi said coldly.

He was filled with resentment when his savings were taken away.

"I'll shake it, I'll shake it! I know where they've hidden their things!"

Before long, Qin Yiyi had collected one hundred gold coins and thirty silver coins. Adding to the three imperial silver coins she still had, her total possessions now amounted to one hundred gold coins and thirty-three silver coins.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face covered their faces and wept bitterly.

"All the gold coins I got from kidnapping the Earl's daughter are gone!"

"Hehe, do you know who I am?"

Qin Yiyi took off her large hat, revealing her pretty little face.

*****

Inside the market, Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Deer Antlers, all wearing anklets, followed behind Qin Yiyi.

How much is the rice?

The stall owner glanced at Qin Yiyi without even blinking.

"Ten gold coins per tael!"

Qin Yiyi sighed.

"Sid, hurry up and keep up!"

The two-meter-tall Sid followed, casually showing off his retractable wings, with three orc slaves pulling on the iron chains behind him.

Qin Yiyi looked up, pointed at the rice, and asked, "How much is it per pound?"

The stall owner immediately became serious: "High-pollution rice costs one copper coin per tael, low-pollution rice costs one silver coin per tael, and unprocessed rice costs one silver coin per jin!"

But after glancing at Qin Yiyi, he whispered, "I really do have ten gold coins for every ounce of pollution-free rice!"

Seeing that Qin Yiyi didn't speak, he took out a small handful of rice from his bag. Each grain was distinct and very plump.

Qin Yiyi subtly touched her wrist, and the virtual bracelet sent out an appraisal.

[Beep beep~ Thirty grains of rice with zero pollution detected]

It is indeed zero-pollution.

"Fifty taels of silver."

The stall owner put the rice away, looking somewhat unhappy.

"If you don't buy it, plenty of others will. Where can you find rice that's 50 taels of silver per tael with zero pollution? Go ask around in other markets in Chaotic Territory and you won't find this price!"

However, he dared not say anything harsh, because the eagle-beastman behind Qin Yiyi was clearly from the military. People with military backgrounds are very powerful, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

Qin Yiyi subtly probed the market price.

"If you're really serious, one gold coin to one tael is the minimum! That's the market price. As you know, rice is scarce now, and it's very difficult to separate zero-pollution rice from it. Even these processing machines can only be found in the inner circle of Misty City; there are hardly any in Chaotic Territory!"

The stall owner was muttering to himself.

"Life is getting harder and harder now. Many people go into the City of Mist, but few come out, let alone pull out machines. There are very few mercenary groups around Chaotic Territory that can do that. Only those numbered bases have people who can come and go as they please!"
