Chapter 224 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

Yunlu Village.

A few villagers saw Lu Xuan walking towards the Lu family and asked jokingly, "Lord, how are things going? Are there any mutant fruit trees today?"

Lu Xuan, who had just returned from the orchard, looked indifferent.

Ever since he came back, villagers would occasionally call him "Marquis" out of novelty or because they really felt a sense of distance from him. Lu Xuan remained calm.

"There is one, and the others will be soon."

He has extensive experience in mutation induction and can basically transform an original species into a mutant within five to seven days.

Although the newly grown fruit trees are young and the initial yield will not be very high, the yield will increase with more time.

Lu family.

Lu Chen pulled Lu Miaomiao's sleeve and said, "Sister Miaomiao, let's have instant noodles at noon. I want to eat it."

Without waiting for Lu Miaomiao to reply, Lu Qing, who was pregnant, said firmly, "Didn't Ah Xuan say that instant noodles aren't as good for your health as supplements? Just try them occasionally. You're a growing child, how can you eat them every day?"

The audience in the live broadcast room who heard this upon entering the room were amazed:

[Sure enough, no one can resist the taste of instant noodles, especially children.]

[Ever since the anchor came back, the Lu family has probably eaten seven or eight meals, almost one a day. Brother Lu Chen can eat five large bags by himself every time, and he's not tired of it yet?]

"What's the big deal? We've been taking nutritional supplements for decades, and we still take them every day."

Do we take nutritional supplements every day just because we enjoy them? Of course, there's no choice!

[There'll be more to choose from. Haven't you noticed that the amount of food available on the Star Network Mall has increased significantly recently? The seeds that the streamer collected for the Star Alliance have already started to increase in production.]

Yes, food freedom is just around the corner!

Due to health issues, Lu Chen was ultimately unable to eat instant noodles.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan brought back some newly grown mutant pineapples. They were sweeter than the original ones he had eaten a few days ago, which satisfied Lu Chen's craving. After the meal, he couldn't help but take a pineapple plate to share with other friends.

After Lu Qing went back to her room for a nap with Lu Miaomiao, Lu Xuan sat alone in the living room and opened the anchor mall.

Just now, he received a reminder that a new product was on the shelves. When he opened it, he found that the crystal core was on the shelves again.

Lu Xuan took a quick glance and saw that there were no words about level seven or eight, so he swept away all the crystal cores on the shelf.

Although he was very fast, he only managed to grab less than one-third of the total number of items on the shelves.

It can be seen that in addition to him, many other plane anchors are also scrambling for the crystal core.

He just didn't know if these people were also psychics, or if the crystal core had other functions that he didn't know about.

While Lu Xuan was thinking, he lowered his head and counted the crystal cores he had obtained.

The crystal cores on the shelves this time are of higher level than last time. The highest level is level six, and Lu Xuan grabbed two of them. In addition, there are five level five crystal cores, fifty level four crystal cores, two hundred level three crystal cores, one thousand level two crystal cores, and finally three thousand level one crystal cores.

In terms of attributes, the most common ones are non-attributes, followed by the five elements, and then the wind, thunder and ice variant systems.

These crystal cores cost him a total of 44 million points.

After supplying a batch of goods to the villagers who went out to do business, Lu Xuan's total points balance, which was already very limited, was only over 10 million.

In the seven or eight days since I came back, the average daily gift income has been five to six million, barely bringing the total points back to over 50 million.

After buying the crystal core today, I only have a few million left.

[Oh my god, the anchor's balance is really shabby compared to before.]

[What are you saying? Do you have millions in savings?]

【??? Who kicked me?】

[There's no need to feel bad for the streamer. The streamer is expected to earn around 10 to 8 billion in a month or so.]

【Now that I mention it... Damn, I'm already envious beyond recognition.】

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

What's wrong with making 18 billion?

He worked hard for more than half a month and spent all the billions of points he had diligently earned in a year. Isn't this what he deserves?

Not only the points, but also the other data that increased during this trip were all earned by his own ability.

Lu Xuan opened the background data, looked at the 2 billion online records and the number of fans reaching 450 million, and nodded.

Yes, he deserved it.

At this rate, he should be able to achieve another new achievement by the time he goes to collect the debt.

Lu Xuan put the crystal cores of levels four to six into the space bead he often used, and kept those of levels one to three separately. He took out some and put them in the grocery store for the villagers and the psychics from the Huo family army to exchange.

After arranging the crystal core, Lu Xuan took out the holographic helmet and entered the holographic world.

When I first brought the villagers into the holographic world, it was empty because it couldn't connect to the Star Alliance. Now the situation is different.

Lu Xuan has replaced quite a few holographic helmets.

Almost everyone in the Huo family army has one. Five thousand have been sold in Fengxian County, and two thousand have also been replaced in Beijing.

Including Yunlu Village’s share, it is just over ten thousand.

There is nothing much to say about the helmets of the Huo family army and the capital, but Ye Feiluan's brain is really useful.

After recovering, he learned about what supplies Lu Xuan had given him. He joined forces with others to set aside some helmets that had not been sold yet. He studied some uncommon uses of the helmets and then locked the single-player binding function.

Instead of selling helmets, they rented them out and set up an ancient version of an Internet cafe, charging by the time played, so that disaster victims who could not afford helmets but wanted to enter the holographic world would have the opportunity to play holographic games.

This results in the actual number of players being more than double the number of helmets.

The peak number of online players exceeded 20,000, and even late at night when there were fewer people, there could be 3,000 to 5,000 people.

Although Lu Xuan did not make any money from the extra people's helmets, with more people spending money, the profit was still not small.

The prerequisite is that Lu Xuan has enough points.

After going online, Lu Xuan spent some time transferring money to those who came to spend money, and saw that there was only a few hundred thousand left.

Lu Xuan: It seems I still have to go to the beach again to collect some points.

Otherwise it would be embarrassing if you don’t even have points to spend on in-game purchases.

After dealing with the krypton gold business, Lu Xuan met other people who came to discuss things with him.

Including Ye Feiluan, Xie Yun, Bai Xuefeng, as well as ministers in the capital and even the new emperor.

Among them, Xie Yun and Bai Xuefeng not only told him about the growth of the 10,000 acres of crops assigned to them, but also talked about the recent enthusiasm of dignitaries in Beijing for various holographic games.

Before the disaster, the young masters and daughters of wealthy families would occasionally hold flower viewing parties and tea parties. After the disaster, these gatherings stopped.

After Lu Xuan brought over a large amount of supplies, the flower viewing parties, tea parties, and entertainment parties held by various aristocratic families that had almost stopped after the disaster should have been resumed.

But the reality is that everyone is busy playing games and no one has the mood to play things that they have already become tired of.

If they really want to get together, they will do it directly in the holographic world, with a popular young man or young lady taking the lead in organizing a game in the lounge, or simply forming a group to play games together.

Xie Yun also said that recently the nobles have been keen on encountering the new emperor in the game, after all, the new emperor also plays games.

It’s just that the new emperor has hidden the ID very well, so everyone can only wander around in various games and try their luck.

Lu Xuan was also thought of.

Others may not know the ID of the new emperor, but how could Lu Xuan, who is responsible for paying all players for krypton gold, not know it?

So as soon as Lu Xuan came online, several people came to test his attitude and inquire about the new emperor's in-game identity.

The New Emperor is Lu Xuan's biggest client at the moment, so he naturally wouldn't leak his personal information casually. He casually dismissed anyone who tried to test him.

If they don't give up after one attempt and keep coming back, Lu Xuan will directly send the other party's information to the new emperor and let the latter deal with these people who are spying on the emperor.

In short, with the existence of the holographic world, even if Lu Xuan has returned to the village, he can still learn about the other party’s gathering place through these players.

Including the results of using the evolutionary fluid given out.

From the capital, and from Luochuan.

Luochuan did not sell holographic helmets, but Luochuan and the capital had already established contact. Through the new emperor, Lu Xuan still learned about the awakening of superpowers there, and knew that there was a surprise waiting for him to receive.

·

Early the next morning, Lu Xuan took Li Jing, Li Tuo, Liu Chun, Wei Dayong and other young and strong men who stayed behind and went out to sea.

Several people were talking while setting up nests and casting nets.

Liu Chun said: "The first group of people who left have been gone for two days. I don't know what the situation is like now."

Wei Dayong said, "The aircraft is so fast, it should have reached the first gathering point, right?"

Li Tuo said proudly, "More than that. Some people have finished the first batch of transactions and rushed to the next gathering place. Others are now trading with the victims. They have encountered quite a lot of problems."

When the others heard this, they immediately asked, "What happened? Did the village chief tell you? Tell us quickly."

"Are they in trouble?"

Lu Xuan did not specifically ask the village chief about the progress of Zhang Chengming and others, and those who had left did not call for help. He was also not very clear about their current situation, and could not help but look sideways at Li Tuo.

The audience in the live broadcast room became even more interested in this and quickly pricked up their ears.

Li Tuo immediately said with great excitement, "Let me tell you——"

·

Let’s go back to two days ago.

The twelve aircraft that took off from Yunlu Village at the same time separated due to different destinations shortly after leaving the village.

The Wu family father and son did not go to the coordinate point provided by Lu Xuan, but chose to go to an area further north than the original Yunlu Village.

They thought the people over there might be able to continue supplying supplies.

We passed several small settlements on the way. We marked the coordinates and planned to go back and meet them on the way back.

After flying for almost two hours, the two finally stopped at a disaster relief gathering place in a small town.

Both father and son were cautious by nature. They hovered the aircraft at a height where people below could not see it, and observed for more than an hour using the magnifying lens they had learned before.

After making sure that these people were not driven to extreme cruelty by the disaster, they found a nearby hillside to land.

Set up sunshade tents and stalls, and take out the supplies brought for trading and put them in the tents in advance.

Then he flew the aircraft over the gathering place, and Wu Yang inserted a dozen or so notices he had just written onto arrows and shot them to different directions of the gathering place.

The sharp arrows flying down from the sky pierced the walls, door frames or small tables on the street, scaring the victims who were hiding from the heat in the houses into a commotion.

Not long after, someone found the paper on the arrow and asked someone who could read what was written on it. They learned that there was a traveling merchant who had come to their place.

The note listed some necessary supplies and said that some of them could be bought on credit.

At the bottom is where the traveling merchants are located, on the hillside two miles to the east.

The content of the note quickly spread throughout the gathering place.

At first, the victims did not believe that there were any traveling merchants.

But the town was short of too many supplies, including food, medicine, and water, which were the commodities that could be provided as mentioned in black and white on the note.

They were unwilling to give up even if there was a glimmer of hope, so many victims went to the eastern hillside together.

After seeing the obvious man-made sheds on the hillside from a distance, they finally believed that there really were outsiders.

As to whether he is a traveling merchant, you have to contact him to know.

These disaster victims had encountered bandits before, and many of them were holding sticks and other weapons to defend themselves when they approached.

But when I got to the hillside and saw only two figures, I immediately let down my guard. Even when I found that the shed was shrouded in mist, I was still a little daunted.

It wasn't until someone with sharp eyes saw the white salt displayed in the shed and rushed over excitedly that they were surprised to find that the "clouds" actually emitted a comfortable coolness.

“It’s so cool!”

The hottest season has begun. Although the north is relatively cooler than the south, the temperature nearby still reaches 35 degrees.

For the locals, whose summer temperature in previous years was only 26 or 27 degrees Celsius, this temperature made them quite uncomfortable. Sweat soaked their clothes like rain, their sticky hair stuck to their faces, and their foreheads were covered with sweat, making them look very embarrassed.

The coolness in the shed made the men who couldn't stand the heat rush in to enjoy it without being cautious.

Someone looked up and down at Wu Cheng and Wu Yang, who looked similar and seemed to be father and son, and asked, "Are you really traveling merchants?"

"Where did you come from?"

"Is this really salt? How do I change it?"

"What food do you have? Can you fill your stomach?"

"What medicine do you have? Can you cure the fever?"

"Why is it so cool in the shed? Did you create those clouds around here?"

"The note says I can buy on credit. Is that true?"

The victims asked countless questions one after another, and the noise was so noisy and chaotic that it made people frown.

Wucheng Wuyang had anticipated this and answered each question patiently.

"We are from Yunlu Village, which is also a village in the north."

"It's salt, wild vegetables and fruits. Any useful supplies can be exchanged. A pound of wild vegetables can be exchanged for a spoonful of salt. We also have enough food to fill your stomach. As long as you bring enough supplies for the trade, you can exchange them."

"We have all kinds of medicines. We can treat fever, stop bleeding, relieve pain, stop diarrhea, and even detoxify. They are all very affordable."

"What's in the shed isn't clouds. It's dry ice. It's very cheap. You can buy some and put it in your home to make it very cool."

"Those who are allowed to buy on credit are of good quality. The person who has the final say in your gathering place needs to come forward to make the transaction, and a written agreement is required."

Otherwise, if the person who owes the debt dies in an accident the next time they come, they won’t be able to find anyone to collect the debt.

When the victims heard the word "high-quality seeds", they couldn't help but get excited. "You have high-quality seeds? What kind of seeds do you have? How can we exchange them?"

Wu Yang: "We have all common grain and vegetable seeds, and the yield is very high, so the price is not cheap. We can exchange ten kilograms of supplies for one kilogram of seeds."

Someone doubted, "I think this summer will be as dry as last year. Will your seeds grow?"

Wu Yang looked calm. "You should buy some dry ice and put it in the fields to prevent the crops from being sun-dried. Even if the yield decreases, it will still be enough for you to eat."

Wu Cheng showed them the water in a large plastic box and said, "There's no big water source near you, so you must be short of water. We sell water. A large box only has five pounds. You can exchange it for any supplies."

Victims: “!!!” So cheap!

They didn't know whether the story about the good breed was true, but some of them still quickly squeezed out of the crowd and went back to tell others the news.

Those who stayed behind couldn't wait to take out the supplies they brought and began to scramble to exchange them.

The first thing they exchanged was the salt, water, and dry ice that they were in short supply of, and the second thing they exchanged was the good seeds that they were not sure whether they could really grow.

The "currency" used to exchange for supplies is basically wild vegetables and fruits obtained in spring and summer, as well as some dried mushrooms, dried meat, etc.

Some people asked if silver could be used with a try-it attitude, and after getting a positive answer, they took out a lot of silver change, even copper coins.

Their purchasing power certainly cannot be compared with that before the disaster, but being able to spend money is already a great joy for them.

In addition to the supplies mentioned by the victims, Wu Yang also took out ice patches, biological clothing, and nutritional supplements.

The father and son did not explain in detail the origin of these magical materials. Anyway, the things were there, and they would not force them to exchange them or not.

The victims marveled at the sight and took out their supplies without hesitation to exchange them.

No matter where the thing comes from, such good stuff may not be found in this village or in this store, so change it first!

Lu Xuan didn't have many points left, and the amount of supplies he could exchange for people doing business was limited. Wucheng and Wuyang couldn't do large-scale transactions, and the traded supplies were quickly cleared out.

The first group of people were fine, as they bought all the supplies they wanted. Those who didn’t were not able to buy anything because there were not enough supplies on hand.

The further they went, the more people found themselves wasting their trip, and they could only look at the empty bags and boxes that had been sold out and slap their thighs in frustration.

Some people thought that the Wu father and son must have hidden supplies for their own use, and in a fit of rage, they wanted to team up with others to rob them.

Without waiting for the other party to incite more people, Wu Yang took out an alloy crossbow and aimed it at the other party's head, looking at him coldly.

The person who intended to rob: "!" Cold sweat quickly seeped out of his forehead, and his pupils were filled with fear.

Wu Cheng, who was standing next to him, casually took out a miniature bomb that he had specially exchanged with Lu Xuan, and threw it towards the wasteland in the distance in full view of everyone.

The bomb made a loud bang and blew a large hole on the ground with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of more than one meter.

All the disaster victims on the hillside: “!!!”

Under the power of the bomb, the victims, regardless of whether they had any bad intentions in their hearts, instantly became obedient.

Many of the victims who were reluctant to leave after returning their supplies were frightened and ran away in a hurry.

But there were also some people who really needed supplies and were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Some aunts who could not bear it could not help crying.

Wu Yang reassured them, "Don't worry, everyone. If you can't buy it this time, you can buy it next time. We'll come back in half a month at the fastest, or a month at the slowest. We'll come to trade regularly in the future."

"Also, the capital was unable to send disaster relief personnel due to the earthquake, but they have recently dispatched soldiers with supplies to various locations to provide disaster relief. Things will eventually get better."

The group of disaster victims immediately became agitated, "Are you really going to come again?"

"The government is finally going to provide disaster relief? I thought they had given up on us."

The victims forgot about the missing supplies for a moment and instead asked about what was happening in the capital.

The Wu family father and son did not mention much about the fact that the disaster had lasted for many years.

The attitudes and ideas of both father and son are simple.

They are here to do business and don't care about anything else. They will let someone from the capital come and talk about the disaster themselves.

The two of them just continued to sell the salt and water that they had the most in stock, while they subtly inquired about the situation in this gathering place.

It is said that the people in the north are tough, and it is indeed true.

The original mayor of this town was a greedy man. He survived the earthquake by chance, but instead of thinking about helping the victims, he took the opportunity to exploit the people even more excessively after discovering that the government had not sent anyone to provide disaster relief, and wanted to run away with the looted supplies.

As a result, he aroused public outrage and was killed by the victims before he could escape.

Of course, this result was not said openly by the victims, but was inferred by Wu Yang based on what many people had said, and it was almost correct.

After that, the town was presided over by several respected village elders and private school principals.

Although supplies are scarce and many people died in last year's famine, the survivors are united and can manage to get by.

Now that the Wu family father and son have arrived, things are looking good.

In the afternoon, the village elders and the head of the mountain, who had learned of the existence of the good varieties, came in person and exchanged a lot of them for hundreds of taels of gold and silver and a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings.

The remaining portion, as well as the salt and water they bought for the disaster victims in the town, were paid for with a written agreement and the grain they grew later.

The village elders didn't dare to believe that the good seeds could be harvested in less than two months, but Wucheng promised that they would not collect the debt until the good seeds were harvested, so several people signed the document.

At this point, the transaction between the two people at the first gathering place was considered complete.

Apart from a few failed robbery attempts, it can be said that everything went very smoothly, a good start.

In comparison, Xiong Mao and Ge Yuan were more unlucky.
