Chapter 214 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

There were five groups of people in total.

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows when he saw the number.

So many factions? It seems this place is much more chaotic than the two bases we visited before.

There were six or seven people in each group, and together they looked like quite a lot of people.

The five groups of people were separated by a distance, and it was obvious that their relationship was not harmonious.

These people's eyes fell on the safe house villa behind Lu Xuan, their expressions were stunned and full of disbelief.

Some of them had not seen the house when they were wandering around yesterday, and some had passed by it an hour ago and also did not find anything unusual.

In less than an hour, an exquisite three-story building rose from the ground?

Is this a ghost?

Some people even noticed that the windows of the house were made of glass and were shocked.

A group of people stopped and watched for a long time before walking towards Lu Xuan, looking at him with scrutiny and a little scrutiny.

Lu Xuan paid attention to the reactions of the disaster victims around him when they saw these people. He found that they would consciously give way, but there was no sign of excessive fear on their faces. He probably had an idea in his mind.

The group of strong men came over first.

The man in the lead, who had a scar on the corner of his eye, looked at the remaining dumpling soup at the bottom of the pot and said, "Only dumpling soup? Is there anything else to eat?"

Lu Xuan: "Rice, flour, salt, sugar, chicken, duck, fish, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, fish maw, medicine, weapons, as long as you can pay the price, we have everything."

Everyone: ???

Everything you need...this tone is a bit too fake.

However... the eyes of people from several forces couldn't help but flicker with suspicion.

Medicine? Weapons? And salt? These are good things.

Several factions exchanged glances. After a moment, the all-female faction stepped forward. The beautiful woman in the lead giggled and asked, "Young man, are you here on business? Are you alone?"

Lu Xuan said: "I am indeed here to do business."

The woman glanced at the house behind and said, "Is your goods in the house behind?"

Lu Xuan touched the ring on his index finger and said, "Carry it with you."

woman:"?"

Others: “?”

They subconsciously looked around Lu Xuan, but there was nothing there except a large empty iron pot in front of him.

Someone said unhappily, "Boy, are you kidding us?!"

The man with the scar also frowned.

Lu Xuan did not answer, but put the empty iron pot back into the space, and then waved his hand and took out a few bags of rice, flour, salt and sugar, just like when he was in Luochuan.

All the people present, whether they were the disaster victims or the people from the five forces, were shocked by his action of collecting supplies.

Everyone's faces changed drastically and they quickly retreated. People from the five major forces even shouted angrily.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"What did you just do!?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you guys suspicious that I don't have any supplies?"

The implication was that he was just showing it to them.

Others: “…”

Under their astonished gazes, Lu Xuan opened several bags in front of him and showed them what was inside.

The unprocessed brown rice and flour, as well as the white salt, instantly dazzled everyone's eyes.

Lu Xuan said, "You don't need to care about who I am or whether I'm a demon. Just ask if you want the supplies. If not, I can leave here and trade with another gathering place. It won't affect me at all."

The five forces were silent for a while.

They were not very confident about Lu Xuan's origins and background, but they definitely wanted the supplies.

The scholar faction thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go somewhere else and discuss this in detail?"

Lu Xuan: "You can come to my house to talk."

Your home?

The five major forces looked at the house behind them.

Lu Xuan: "But it can't hold more than a dozen people. Forces that want to trade can each send two people together."

The five major forces immediately became alert again.

But on second thought, this is their own territory. Even if there is someone hiding in this kid's house, with so many people outside, are they afraid that he will run away?

…

A moment later, in the living room on the first floor of the villa.

"So soft! So comfortable!"

"What kind of chair is this? I've never seen anything like it before."

The people from the five forces were amazed by the soft and elastic touch of the sofa.

Lu Xuan then took out a few fruit plates, as well as fried fish, beef jerky, butcher shop preserves and other tempting snacks, as well as drinks such as milk tea, fruit wine, and Shaodaozi.

Lu Xuan said: "Let's talk while we eat."

Five forces: "..."

There are so many precious supplies right away. Are you sure you are not trying to intimidate them?

The feeling of being shown off in their own territory made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, but when they smelled the aroma of these foods...

Forget it, since they are treating them to a meal, let’s just eat something first.

Since we are in our own territory, why worry about not having the opportunity to find a place to fight?

Soon, the only sounds in the living room were the clucking sounds of people eating.

In the blink of an eye, all the snacks on the table were eaten up by ten people.

Lu Xuan took out a batch of identical snacks without changing his expression.

The five forces, who had already eaten half full and satisfied their cravings, moved much slower this time and finally had time to talk.

Lady Yu wiped her greasy mouth with a handkerchief and said nonchalantly, "In this season of year, you can still produce such delicious and fresh fruits. You are really generous, young man."

Of course, the other foods taste good too, but they can be made with some tricks.

But the fruits that Lu Xuan took out were not only big and sweet, but also came in many varieties that he had never seen before, or had only heard of their names.

This is not something that ordinary people can come up with.

The scarred man Qiu Qi even asked directly, "Can alcohol be traded?"

Scholar Meng Xia said, "Both beef jerky and milk tea taste good. We are very interested."

Lu Xuan said: "Everything can be traded. You can ask for any supplies you need."

Du Chenghai looked at a middle-aged man with a big belly who looked like a businessman and asked, "Are you sure you can get all the supplies you mentioned?"

Lu Xuan: "Of course."

Another young man, dressed in rags but not looking frail, said: "We want food and salt!"

Meng Xia said: "We need it too."

Other forces also quickly expressed their views.

Food and salt are the most important supplies, who doesn’t need them?

Lu Xuan asked, "There's a food quota, and the specific amount to be sold is based on the total population. How many people are there here?"

The five factions paused briefly, their gazes all turning to Meng Xia, who said, "There are currently approximately 32,000 survivors."

Lu Xuan was a little surprised.

The scale of this county town is not small compared to Yangshan County Town, but its population is less than half of that of Yangshan County?

Lu Xuan said: "For this population, I can provide 50,000 kilograms of food."

"What!?" everyone was shocked.

so much! ?

They thought that Lu Xuan would be lucky to have a few thousand kilograms of grain, but he actually had 50,000 kilograms?

Hua San immediately said, "We want 20,000 kilograms!"

The other four faction leaders, still in shock, glared at him in dissatisfaction. "You alone want 20,000 jins! Aren't you afraid of overeating yourself to death?"

"Mr. Hua, don't be too greedy."

If he really got 20,000 jin, wouldn't they only get a few thousand jin? As equal forces, they certainly couldn't agree to it.

Hua San snorted, "Who told you not to speak first? Aren't supplies first-come, first-served?"

Qiu Qi snorted coldly, "First come, first served was the rule before the famine began. Now, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say."

Du Chenghai said: "It depends on how many people you have under your command. Many of the young and strong people on my side have big appetites, so their needs are not small."

Lady Yu said leisurely, "Who has less needs?"

The group of people were arguing with each other, and the arguments were getting more intense.

Lu Xuan said: "In addition to food, there are other physical items that can fill your stomach. You can choose which one to exchange."

As he said this, he took out the nutritional supplement and gave one to each of their factions for a taste.

The results of the tasting were naturally as amazing as those at the previous two gathering places.

Although the taste of the nutritional supplement is ordinary, its advantage is that it can be stored for a long time and is not afraid of spoiling. The five leaders showed obvious determination to get it.

But they still didn't want to miss out on the food, so the quarrel soon started again.

Lu Xuan: “…”

[These people are really noisy.]

[It seems that the relationship between the various factions is not harmonious.]

[But it was just a few words, no one took any action, so it shouldn't be too bad.]

I'm even more surprised that there's a faction led by a woman. I don't think there are any forces in this gathering place as disgusting as Feng Hu and the old man in the county government office.

The people from the five factions argued for nearly a quarter of an hour before reaching a consensus.

There are 50,000 grains, 10,000 of which are given to each family. If they are divided equally, no one will suffer a loss.

As for the nutritional supplements, Meng Xia asked Lu Xuan, "How much can the nutritional supplements provide?"

This time, Lu Xuan didn't directly say there was no limit, but only said, "You can first state the quantity you want."

Hua San opened his mouth again, trying to take the initiative, but Qiu Qi asked, "How do you want to exchange the nutrients? How much is the price?"

Hua San swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said, "Oh, I haven't asked the price yet."

Although their Beggar Gang does have a large number of people and great needs, if the other party asks for too much, he may not be able to afford to buy too many supplies.

Lu Xuan said: "One pound of food can be exchanged for 10 nutritional supplements."

Du Chenghai frowned, "You want food?"

But they also want food.

How can the transaction be carried out if both sides use grain to settle accounts?

The others were also a little confused.

Lu Xuan said: "You can wait until you grow crops and then pay me back."

Du Chenghai's eyes flashed, "You mean I can buy on credit?"

Everyone else was shocked. What a good thing! ?

As if Lu Xuan didn't notice the surprise in their eyes, he nodded and said, "So don't worry about not being able to pay the bill. Just ask for the supplies you need."

The people from the five factions exchanged glances with each other, but no one asked the question, "Aren't you worried that we can't afford it?"

They were so happy that Lu Xuan was willing to accept this method.

Even if he really can't pay it back in the future, Lu Xuan will be the one who has the headache.

Meng Xia hesitated for a moment, but finally ignored the question and asked Lu Xuan, "If we want tens of thousands, or even more, can you provide them?"

Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay."

The five major forces were surprised but also relieved, and quickly reported their numbers.

Du Chenghai, Hua San, and Qiu Qi directly bid 500,000.

Meng Xia and the beautiful woman Yu Niangzi originally wanted 300,000, but when I heard their demand, I simply increased the amount to the same amount.

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Given the population of your place, you shouldn't need so much, right? If this transaction is completed, I will come again within two months."

In other words, it is enough to replace two months' worth of food.

Du Chenghai smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "We'll talk about the next deal next time."

Who knows if Lu Xuan will really come next time? Of course they should stockpile as much as possible. Anyway, they don’t have to really take out the food, so it’s equivalent to getting it for free.

The nutrient supplements are so useful that if the weather is better this year and they can reconnect with other cities, they might be able to sell them at a high price and make a fortune, making up for last year's losses and allowing them to make a comeback.

It's not just nutritional supplements. When it comes to salt and sugar, the amount they ask for is not much less than that in Yangshan County. The amount of sugar is even more than double, with each family asking for 5,000 kilograms.

It was too troublesome to report the number of items one by one, so Lu Xuan simply took out several samples of all possible materials, including high-tech products, for them to choose from.

The process of introducing the purpose was similar to before, but the reactions of the five major forces were obviously more excited than those of officials such as Liu Wenchi.

The people who were originally excited about the food and nutritional supplements only now realized that the food was only the appetizer, and these were the main dishes!

There was also a reasonable explanation for why Lu Xuan could take things out of thin air.

Lu Xuan also explained the yield of mutant seeds and the situation of the greenhouse.

The five major forces only then understood why he dared to allow them to buy on credit. It turned out that he really had the confidence.

Their original intention was not to default on their debts. Naturally, they would love to be able to obtain long-term, stable income from land while doing business.

The group started placing orders without much hesitation.

A total of 250,000 doses of medicine, 5,000 bio-suits, tens of thousands of cold weapons, communicators, spaceships, hoverboards, refrigerators, air conditioners, various small appliances, and self-heating blankets were requested...

Compared with the more pragmatic Yangshan County and Luochuan, these forces obviously enjoy better conditions.

In addition to necessities, many of Lu Xuan's sofas, beds, furniture, children's remote control toys, and cosmetics sets that he had kept in his closet were also ordered.

The scale of the greenhouse is the same as that of Yangshan County, which is 5,000 acres. However, in addition to the necessary air conditioners and plant nutrient solutions, the five major forces also placed a lot of orders for plant protection machines and herbicides that Yangshan and Luochuan were reluctant to buy.

Even after Lu Xuan calculated the bill and told them that according to their consumption rules, half of the greenhouse's harvest would have to be used to pay off debts, they still didn't care.

The audience in the livestream couldn't quite understand how someone who had been tormented by the disaster for over six months could still be so unaware of the crisis, not even thinking of saving supplies for a rainy day? They weren't even the streamers, so where did they get the confidence to be so extravagant?

Lu Xuan was very familiar with this mentality.

Because most people in the last days have a similar mentality.

It’s not that I don’t think about the future, it’s just that I enjoy the present more.

No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. In this case, we should enjoy each day as it comes and have fun first.

After seeing the life attitudes of these forces, Lu Xuan took out goods that had not been traded with the previous two bases.

Holographic helmet.

The five forces were initially confused when they learned the purpose of the holographic helmet.

Being able to enter another world and play immersive games is something they cannot imagine since they have never experienced it before.

It was only after Lu Xuan took out a few helmets and let them experience them on the spot that they became completely excited.

"This thing is so interesting! I want it!" Hua San looked at the holographic helmet with an extremely excited expression.

Du Chenghai was so excited that he couldn't let go of the holographic helmet, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

If this could be sold to the wealthy areas of Jiangnan or taken to the capital, wouldn't we make a fortune?

If managed properly, it might not be impossible to even be crowned an imperial merchant!

The key point is that Lu Xuan’s offer is not high at all!

A few hundred kilograms of mutant grain can be exchanged for one, which is clearly the lowest price among cabbages!

This time, Meng Xia finally couldn't help but ask Lu Xuan, "Master Lu, isn't this price too low? Now that the disaster is over, once communication between the various places is restored, the value of this item will surely be immeasurable."

Lu Xuan said: "The disaster will not end for another four years. I can't wait that long."

The faces of the excited crowd froze and they looked up in surprise.

"What did you say, four years?"

"You mean, there will be a disaster like last year?"

Qiu Qi's eyes were sharp and his tone was urgent: "How did you know?"

Yu Niangzi, Hua San, Du Chenghai and others all frowned.

Lu Xuan said: "I naturally have my own way. You can choose to believe it or not."

The group was stunned for a long time without any reaction.

Lu Xuan asked, "So, do you still want to buy the holographic helmet? Or do you want more other supplies?"

The people from the five factions cursed something under their breath, and then quickly said firmly, "Buy it! Why not buy it?"

They buy it even when they don't know if the disaster will continue, knowing that subsequent disasters will come back. Although it is not clear whether it is true, if it is true, the later it gets, the harder it will be to live, and the more they will need some way to vent.

Fighting or women can both be used to vent, but a holographic helmet is obviously more suitable.

The five factions each ordered a thousand helmets, most of which were basic models, with only a hundred or so custom models and twenty or so top-of-the-line models.

Including other materials, the final total transaction volume was hundreds of thousands of kilograms more than that of Yangshan County.

Because the five forces are not one, the contract is signed in five separate copies, and the amount of supplies required by each party is somewhat different.

After signing the document, the leaders urged Lu Xuan to take out the supplies, especially the communicator and space ring.

As soon as I got the product, I couldn't wait to try it out.

After asking for each other's contact number, Hua San shouted into the communicator: "Can you hear me?"

Others who were only a few meters away: “…” What do you think?

Hua San didn't care about this at all. After the voice call, he made a video call.

When he saw that their respective appearances were really displayed on the communication screen, he almost smiled to his death and kissed the communicator several times without letting it go.

The other people's reactions were not as exaggerated as his, but the affection in their eyes could not be hidden, and they had no intention of hiding it.

Afterwards, Lu Xuan took out the other supplies and asked them to keep them.

Du Chenghai reminded Lu Xuan: "Brother Lu, don't sell these supplies to anyone else from now on."

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. What does this mean?

Hua San corrected himself: "To be more precise, we shouldn't sell to individuals. After all, we still need to make a profit from the supplies we buy."

What does it mean to make money from supplies?

Aren't they buying so many supplies to provide for the disaster victims they are sheltering?

Lu Xuan understood, "They are not the government. Even if they collect some protection fees to shelter the victims, it doesn't mean they will distribute the supplies for free like Mr. Chen and Magistrate Liu."

It is equivalent to these forces preparing to act as middlemen, treating him as a wholesaler and making profits from the price difference of the disaster victims.

Meng Xia was worried that his displeasure would affect the next transaction, so he reassured him, "Besides the five of us, there are many other smaller forces outside the city. After hearing the news, they will surely approach Mr. Lu to trade for supplies. You won't be at a disadvantage."

Compared to buying supplies piecemeal from the disaster victims, trading with powerful forces is definitely more profitable and less troublesome.

Lu Xuan was thoughtful. "Aren't these supplies you bought for all the disaster victims?"

Lady Yu smiled charmingly, "We don't have that much power. The total number of people under the territories of our five families is only about 16,000 to 17,000, which is only half of the victims in the entire city."

Lu Xuan: Only half of it is already the largest force?

Lu Xuan: "Are there many small forces in the city?"

Hua San said, "Because small factions change frequently, some break up from time to time, so it's impossible to determine the exact number, but there should be about fifty or sixty of them, big and small."

Lu Xuan: “…”

Live broadcast audience: ???

So many factions, big and small, gathered in one place? What's going on here?

Lu Xuan was also intrigued by what they said and asked about the specific lifestyle of the gathering place.

The five forces had just completed a big deal and were all very friendly towards Lu Xuan, so they naturally didn't mind telling him about it.
