Chapter 222 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

"Finally back!"

"You've been gone for more than half a month. We've been missing you terribly."

"Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

The villagers, led by the village chief, surrounded Lu Xuan who got out of the car, chattering and expressing their concern for Lu Xuan.

Lei Yan and Lu Qing, as members of the Lu family, stood at the front with the village chief, looking at Lu Xuan with obvious longing in their eyes.

Zhang Chengming asked excitedly, "I heard from the village chief that the emperor conferred a title of nobility on you!? And there's an imperial edict? Bring it out so we can see it!"

When the other villagers heard this, they immediately threw aside their pleasantries and said with shining eyes, "Yes, Lu Xuan has gone from being an ordinary citizen to a marquis with his return!"

"Oh my god, a marquis has emerged from our small village!"

"What's a marquis? Can a marquis be as powerful as a god?" Chen Rong said disdainfully.

Although others thought it made sense, they could not become gods. If they could be granted a title of nobility one day, it would be enough to bring honor to their family.

Liu Chun said, "The village chief said that the emperor also gave you a mansion. Is that true?"

Lu Xuan nodded: "It's all true." As he said that, he took out the imperial edict and showed it to them.

The villagers said they wanted to see and touch it, but when they actually saw the imperial edict with their own eyes, no one dared to touch it. Instead, they all looked in awe and even wanted to kneel down and shout "Long live the emperor!"

Fortunately, Lu Xuan put the things away before they took action. He was not interested in being worshipped by others.

Li Tuo said enviously, "The Marquis's Mansion is already very large and magnificent, it would be great if I could actually go and see it."

Lu Xuan said, "Next time I go to the capital to collect debts, you can come with me if you're interested."

The young people's eyes brightened noticeably after hearing this.

It's not just because they can go to the marquis' mansion bestowed by the emperor, but also because that is the capital. For those who used to think they would be trapped in Yunlu Village for the rest of their lives, being able to go to the capital is enough to brag about for the rest of their lives.

More villagers were excited and kept asking Lu Xuan about the scenery of the capital.

Seeing that they were going on and on, Li Tie frowned and said, "Alright, alright, stop asking. Xuan just got back, so at least let him rest for a while. If you have any questions, we can talk tomorrow."

Lu Xuan also said: "Wait for me to rest, and everyone can come to my house tomorrow, especially those who are also interested in going out to do business."

After these words were spoken, the villagers finally quieted down. The young and strong people who had already discussed with their families were even more energetic and couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Xuan finally returned to the Lu family with his family.

Lu Chen, who had not found a chance to speak before, hugged Lu Xuan tightly as soon as he entered the door.

Lu Xuan took him to sit on the sofa.

Because they communicated every evening, Lei Yan and Lu Qing knew Lu Xuan's experiences along the way, if not exactly, and they did not keep asking questions like the others.

Lu Qing only said, "Now that I'm back, I should be able to rest at home for a while, right?"

Lu Xuan rubbed the little girl like a kitten, and Lu Chen, who was full of dependence, hummed and said, "The trading areas will not travel far before the new grain is harvested."

As for hunting nearby, or going out to sea to replenish seafood and points when the inventory is empty, this does not count.

Lu Xuan knew that they must be interested in the Marquisate granted by the emperor, so without waiting for them to ask, he took out a camera, connected it to the projection screen in the living room, and played the recorded video of the Marquisate.

The attention of the three people in the house and the smart robot was attracted.

Several people kept exclaiming as they watched, "It's so big!"

“There are mountains and ponds at home!”

"So many yards! This huge house is all yours, Xuan?"

"It seems to me that there is more than enough space for our entire village to stay here."

Lei Yan seemed to recall something and asked, "I remember you said that in addition to the mansion, the emperor also gave you land?"

"Yes." Lu Xuan said, "Ten thousand acres of fertile land is actually an imperial farm, right next to the greenhouse that has been built in the capital."

Lei Yan and Lu Qing took a breath at the same time. "Ten thousand acres! That's too much! Has the land been planted with crops?"

Lu Xuan nodded, "It's planted."

Lu Qing worriedly asked, "Without our people there, how are we going to handle the subsequent watering and fertilizing?"

"I've handed over the farm work to the Bai family and the Weiyuan Marquisate. As a thank you, 40% of the grain harvested this time will go to them."

The 70,000 acres of greenhouses in the capital are all owned by the imperial court. There are no transactions of private greenhouses. The Bai family and Weiyuan Marquis Mansion have obtained a disguised harvest of 4,000 acres.

Although these fields were not covered with greenhouses or even tarpaulins because his points had reached the bottom, he had saved a lot of inexpensive dry ice, so he didn't have to worry about the yield being greatly affected even if a new round of extreme heat returned in a week.

Lu Qing nodded. "Even with a plant protection machine, it's not easy to take care of so much land. It's only right that they get a share of the profits."

Knowing that Lu Xuan had arranged everything well, they did not ask too many questions. Instead, they urged him to show them the harvest of this trip.

Lu Xuan readily took out the supplies he had exchanged from various gathering places.

Among them, various gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings alone filled an entire 1,000 cubic meter space.

Lu Xuan only went to a small part of the place to broaden their horizons, but even that was enough to blind the eyes of the three people present.

Although the audience in the live broadcast room had been watching Lu Xuan's transactions all the way, they couldn't help but shed tears of envy again when they saw the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry displayed there.

With so many treasures, once the catastrophe is over, won’t the anchor become the richest man in ancient times in minutes?

Lu Xuan gave all the women's accessories that were stored separately to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing looked at the space filled with various head ornaments, bracelets and necklaces, feeling a little dizzy. "There are so many gold and silver jewels, how can I use them all?"

Lu Xuan said, "You can give some to other people you have a good relationship with, or ask their men to exchange them. I don't have any use for them anyway, so you can handle it as you see fit."

Lu Qing glanced at him, but didn't say that he couldn't use it, but his future wife might need it.

Although Lei Yan and Lu Chen had no habit of wearing jewelry, Lu Xuan, adhering to the idea that everyone who saw it should get a share, also gave them a lot of gold and silver.

None of these things were of any use at the moment, and the two, one big and one small, didn't feel too excited holding them in their hands. They just put them away and looked for other more useful supplies.

When I first went to Yangshan County, I had already traded everything that could be traded, so the price was negligible. Luochuan's specialty is mainly tea, Keemun black tea and Taiping Houkui tea are both good.

There is another specialty that Lu Xuan is very satisfied with, which is pomegranate.

According to Magistrate Liu, garnet flowed into the Central Plains from overseas a hundred years ago. Yunjiang Prefecture happened to have well-developed water transportation and a suitable climate, so some businessmen planted a batch of trees there. Gradually, the area developed a large scale and became one of the local specialties.

The pomegranates in ancient times were not as small as other primitive fruits. They were about the same size as the ordinary pomegranates in Lu Xuan's impression, about the size of an adult's fist, but there was not much flesh inside, the seeds were much larger than the flesh, and the sweetness was not very high.

But these are all minor problems. Once Lu Xuan spends some time on genetic optimization, they will be able to eat big and sweet red pomegranates soon.

Lu Chen couldn't help but sip as he listened to his brother describe the deliciousness of pomegranates.

The specialties of the Jiangnan region are mainly various high-end brocade fabrics, as well as a large amount of salt, Longjing tea, white tea, rice wine, bamboo shoots, etc.

The amount of tea and rice wine is not large, but tea is not easy to consume, so several thousand kilograms is enough to last for a long time.

Because of the extreme heat and heavy rain last year, there is not much rice wine left, so it would be a waste to drink it. You can save it for cooking.

Salt can make salt merchants a lot of money in peacetime, but during disaster periods, it can only be sold locally. In addition, the salt merchants caused trouble and offended Lu Xuan, so he pushed the price down infinitely, making it cheaper than the salt sold in the system mall, and he bought back hundreds of thousands of kilograms in one go.

The number of bamboo shoots is not very large, but the variety is richer.

Lu Chen picked up bamboo shoots of different sizes on the table and compared them next to himself, saying, "Brother, these bamboo shoots are much smaller than the ones we planted."

Lu Xuan nodded, "It is indeed small."

The bamboo shoots they eat now have also undergone mutation and improvement, but the bamboo shoots originally discovered in the Yunlu Mountains were inherently large. They did not continue to increase their size, but only optimized their taste and yield.

The size of the bamboo shoots in front of them is definitely not comparable to what they eat, but the taste is slightly different.

For example, some bamboo shoots have a crisp taste, some are more sweet, and some are slightly bitter. They have a unique taste after being boiled into soup to remove the bitterness. They are also good when stir-fried. You can refer to bitter melon for details, but it is definitely not as bitter as bitter melon.

Lu Xuan's main purpose in trading bamboo shoots is to enrich the species.

After going back to the pomegranate and optimizing it, they will be able to eat bamboo shoots with different flavors in the future.

After listening to his explanation, his family members also thought it was good.

Afterwards, there were some other miscellaneous specialties, but in small quantities, so the Lu family just looked at them for fun and skipped over them.

However, the thing that Lu Xuan took out at the end made several people look sideways with a look of surprise.

"What are these?" Lei Yan was holding something that looked like a small bucket of unknown material.

Lu Chen picked up something from a bag of similarly unidentified material and squeezed it. "It's hard inside, and the bag outside makes a loud noise. Brother, which town did you get this from?"

Lu Qing picked up an irregularly shaped, yet crystal clear 'gem' and played with it in her hand, her expression filled with surprise. "Is this also jewelry? It's really beautiful."

Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "These were not exchanged from the victims, but from the hands of the gods."

He said to Lei Yan and Lu Chen, "What you have in your hands is called 'instant noodles', just the packaging is different, one is in a bucket, the other in a bag. The noodles inside can be boiled or eaten directly with hot water. The taste is pretty good. The most important thing is that they are easy to store. Even if you don't put them in the space to keep them fresh, they can still be kept for a year or so without spoiling."

The three of them were shocked at the same time. "It can be preserved for this long without being put into space? How amazing!"

Lei Yan shook the bucket in his hand. "It doesn't sound like a vacuum, but it can actually be preserved for this long?"

Only the knowledgeable Lu Miaomiao looked calm.

Lu Xuan looked at the 'gem' in Lu Qing's hand and said, "This one is even more special. It's not a gem, but a special crystal core with special effects. In addition to replenishing consumed superpowers, it can also... increase the level of superpowers."

The second half of the sentence was like a thunderclap, which instantly made the three of them speechless, their pupils trembled, and they opened their mouths for a long time without being able to utter a word.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room were very excited.

[Ahhh! Crystal core! I want it so badly!]

[The host, please give out some crystal cores in the next lucky draw! ! ! ]

[I'm fine. I have a level 4 ability. The host only has crystal cores below level 3, which are of little use to me. It doesn't matter whether I have them or not.]

[I want to squat for a level 5 crystal core, I want to level up! ]

[One can still fail, so be safe and prepare a few more.]

[You guys are making me laugh to death. Even if the host really draws a lottery, they should still tell you whether you can win it, unless it's a black box.]

[Please provide the black box! ]

[+1]

Lu Xuan: "Wait, wait until I buy more than I can use up."

While the audience was going crazy, the youngest Lu Chen was the first to come back to his senses. His eyes sparkled as he asked, "Can this gem really upgrade my superpowers? If I use it, will my strength suddenly become very strong?"

Lei Yan and Lu Qing also came back to their senses after Lu Chen spoke, and their eyes were obviously different when they looked at the crystal core in Lu Qing's hand.

Lei Yan asked, "Why haven't I seen you take out these treasures before?"

Lu Xuan: "Because these are the qualifications for trading that I gained after going out this time."

To be precise, it is an achievement reward obtained after completing transactions in Yangshan County and the total consumption amount exceeds 1 billion.

In addition to the usual 60% off coupons and a city shield, the rewards also unlocked a new function.

Anchor Mall.

The products in this mall come from plane anchors who are bound to the plane live broadcast system like Lu Xuan.

The products that the anchors sell to the Star Alliance through the recycling function, and local products will appear on the product list of the anchor mall.

The prices have increased compared to the recycling prices, and the specific increase will be adjusted according to the specific level of civilization of the host's plane.

Ancient civilizations were not very developed, so the prices of the goods Lu Xuan saw were still within an acceptable range.

In addition, the biggest difference between the anchor mall and the system mall is the purchase quantity.

Because the supplier is the anchor, the number of goods that the anchor returns to the Star Alliance is limited, and the amount that the Star Alliance allocates to the anchor mall will naturally be further reduced in terms of response.

Every time an anchor recycles an item, the anchor mall will update the inventory in real time. Once the inventory becomes zero, the product will be taken off the shelves directly and will be put back on the shelves the next time there is stock.

Lu Xuan recycles and processes a large amount of goods, so he has a large inventory of mutated grains, fruits, vegetables, and other products, and they sell out very quickly.

Although the Star Alliance, which was paid for the high or low sales, was just a middleman, Lu Xuan did not care, because the significance of the anchor mall to him was not to make money, but to obtain supplies that the Star Alliance could not provide.

The products provided by anchors from ancient dimensions similar to him are of little use to him, and most of the modern Vipshop system malls have better things.

But modern processed delicacies and convenience foods are incomparable to those in ancient times and the Star Alliance.

Including some fruits that Lu Xuan has not found yet, such as pineapple, mangosteen, lychee, banana, lemon, mango, durian, dragon fruit, and passion fruit, they have all been on the shelves in the anchor mall for more than half a month.

Lu Xuan successfully bought these fruits. Together with the pomegranates he obtained in Luochuan, the variety of fruits in the orchard increased by more than ten.

But these are not what Lu Xuan cares about most. The crystal cores from a doomsday plane similar to the one before he traveled through are the most valuable commodities in the anchor mall.

Crystal cores are mainly produced from the brains of zombies or the energy cores of mutated animals and plants.

The levels of zombies, animals, and plants correspond to the levels of crystal cores. Zombies without special powers grow attributeless crystal cores, which can be absorbed by any type of special power user.

The crystal cores grown by the mutant zombies correspond to the properties of the mutants and can only be absorbed by mutants of the same type.

It was said before that there was no way to upgrade superpowers. The audience knew it but couldn't say it. Lu Xuan didn't think that zombie crystal cores could be obtained here at all. It would be scary if he could really get them.

But with the anchor mall, everything impossible becomes possible in an instant.

As long as there are enough crystal cores, level five is entirely possible.

Including himself, perhaps there is a possibility that he may make further progress in his lifetime.

However, there are very few anchors in the doomsday plane, and the time, quantity, and level of crystal cores on the shelves are very unstable.

Lu Xuan was lucky when he just unlocked the anchor mall. He got a batch of low-level crystal cores that had just been put on the shelves, and he bought them all out.

There was no second batch for more than half a month. If he wanted to get the crystal core of the level he could use, he could only wait patiently.

Lu Xuan took out a purple crystal core and gave it to Lei Yan. Lu Qing gave the attributeless crystal core to Lu Chen, and she got a blue water-attribute crystal core.

The three of them tried to absorb the energy in the crystal core according to Lu Xuan's teachings, and felt an unfamiliar force surging into their bodies. The three of them, who were experiencing it for the first time, were shocked.

"It can really be absorbed!" The three were very excited.

Lu Xuan also gave each of them a bag of crystal cores with corresponding attributes.

"From now on, after you consume your superpowers every day, you don't have to wait for them to recover naturally. You can directly absorb the crystal cores to accelerate your superpower growth. When you feel that you can no longer grow, you have reached a bottleneck. You can absorb crystal cores one level higher than yours to level up."

"If a crystal core fails to upgrade successfully, absorb another one."

However, for a psychic below level three, one crystal core is usually enough to upgrade.

The high failure rate is mainly concentrated in level 4, especially level 5 and above.

The crystal cores Lu Xuan gave them were mainly level one, with a small half of level two and only one level three. They were enough for daily consumption or leveling up.

Lu Chen held the bag of crystal cores like a treasure, his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted, "I will definitely be the first to upgrade!"

Lei Yan and Lu Qing did not react as strongly as he did, but similar fighting spirit flickered in their eyes.

That night, the three members of the Lu family who had obtained the new crystal core repeatedly absorbed the crystal core in the room until very late before going to bed.

However, Lu Xuan returned home after being busy for half a month, talked to his family, had dinner, and went to bed early for the first time.

·

Early the next morning, after the Lu family had breakfast, the village chief and many young and strong men came to the Lu family.
