Life at home was blissful, like being in paradise. Apart from setting aside a fixed time each day to practice his superpowers, he spent the rest of his time either thinking about food and drink or snuggling up with Nanxing.

If it weren't for the sudden influx of survivors up the mountain, Banxia would have almost forgotten that it was still the apocalypse.

Su Yao casually tossed a strawberry into the air, caught it in his mouth, and gently bit into it, letting the perfectly sweet and sour juice flow into his mouth: "The strawberries that Banxia has helped grow are even tastier than the ones I bought at a high price before the apocalypse. If you have any extra, give me two pounds. Just like before, I'll put it on my tab and pay you every Monday."

Because both Banxia's family and Cai Yuan's family across the street have wood-type ability users, they have more fruits and vegetables than they can eat. Just then, Su Yao's family's vegetables suddenly stopped growing for some reason, so they sold them to them at half price.

Su Xiao rolled her eyes at Su Yao: "Yuan-ge, Banxia, ​​if you ever need water, come to me and I'll give you a 40% discount."

She is respectful to others even more.

Cai Yuan watched the Su siblings playfully bickering, smiled gently, and began to get down to business: "Recently, more and more survivors have been coming up the mountain. When Ah Xuan and I went out to sell vegetables today, we heard that two small bases in the upscale residential area fought each other to seize houses, and more than a hundred people died in the end."

It's called a base, but it's really just a place where like-minded people gather to commit crimes.

Fang Yunyun sighed, "There are so many empty houses, yet they insist on fighting over them. I really don't know what they're after. I just hope those people don't try anything funny with us."

“If they dare to come,” Banxia said, taking out a basket of strawberries and placing it on the coffee table, “then they shouldn’t leave.”

The survivors in the later group either hadn't heard of their reputation or were simply too young and fearless, as there have been people peeking out of the trenches these past few days.

Fang Yunyun gave Banxia a thumbs up: "Awesome! By the way, shouldn't you guys head out to find Wei San and exchange crystal cores?"

Wei San is quite an interesting guy. Banxia thought he was going to make a move on her and Nanxing, but the next day he came over with gifts to apologize, saying that he had his underlings investigate their identities because he was worried about them, and then took the opportunity to suggest strengthening cooperation in the future.

Banxia had already intended to find someone to acquire the crystal cores, and since Wei San volunteered, she naturally agreed.

"Well, it's almost time. Nanxing and I will head over first."

They changed the location of their transaction with Wei San to the empty villa next to Su Yao's. When the two arrived, Wei San and his men were already there.

Upon seeing the two, Wei San greeted them excitedly: "Brother, sister, I brought something good this time!"

Without putting on airs, he carefully opened the box in his hand before the two could ask him anything, revealing a silver crystal core lying on the soft cloth.

Banxia's pupils constricted slightly; a level four mental crystal core!

Wei San smiled smugly: "This is a level four crystal core. I went to great lengths to get it!"

Banxia knew that he deliberately emphasized that he had put in "great effort" in order to raise the price. Wei San was a man who knew when to advance and retreat, but he was also extremely greedy.

During every transaction, he would try to find excuses to ask for more things. If she and Nanxing hadn't been unable to find another suitable person, they would never have dealt with him again.

Banxia asked in a calm voice, "What's the price?"

Wei San laughed heartily: "To be honest, I've used up all my connections for this crystal core, so the price isn't low. You should be prepared."

Seeing that Banxia and Nanxing remained unmoved, he couldn't help but curse inwardly: "So young, yet so cunning!"

He smiled and said, "One pack of cigarettes and twenty boxes of small umbrellas."

Banxia almost laughed in anger. Level 4 mental crystal cores are indeed precious, but they are not so precious as to be ten or twenty times more expensive than level 3 crystal cores. Why not just rob them?

She grabbed Nanxing and turned to leave. Wei San wouldn't sell it to her, nor could he sell it to anyone else. After all, there were only a handful of people with psychic abilities, and among them, she was probably the only one with sufficient resources.

The crystal core will eventually end up in her hands, so there's no need to rush.

Wei San immediately panicked and quickly reached out to stop the two: "Brother, sister, don't be in such a hurry. If I quoted too high a price, we can negotiate."

Nanxing shielded Banxia behind him and said coldly, "What, are you planning to force me to buy or sell?"

"I didn't mean to fight, I was just too hasty, brother, please don't mind." Wei San apologized with a guilty smile. "We've cooperated more than once or twice, you all know what kind of person I am. How about this, 30% off?"

Banxia casually fiddled with the vines in her hands, her eyes shooting at Wei San like sharp knives: "I was just turning a blind eye to your little schemes before, but if you keep pretending to be ignorant and treating us like fools..."

With a gentle wave of her hand, the vines instantly sliced ​​the coffee table in two.

"Which is harder, your neck or a piece of wood?"

Perhaps Wei San has become arrogant because of her and Nan Xing's easygoing attitude. If they don't teach him a lesson this time, he might start to take advantage of them!

Wei Sanzang couldn't help but skip a few beats, completely baffled as to why Banxia, ​​such a young girl, possessed such a strong aura, even surpassing that of any superior he had ever encountered.

"The lowest price is 50% off," he said, gripping his trouser legs tightly to keep his trembling legs from being exposed to the two men. "I have dozens of brothers to support, I can't go any lower."

"At least you're sincere," Banxia said, putting away her vines. "Let's make a deal."

With a wave of her hand, she moved the pre-prepared supplies out of the space.

Wei San handed the crystal core to Banxia, ​​hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to Nanxing, "Brother, may I have a word with you in private?"

Banxia raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is there anything that can't be said openly and honestly?"

Could this person be holding a grudge and planning to separate her and Nanxing and defeat them one by one?

Seeing the obvious suspicion in Banxia's eyes, Wei San thought to himself, "I already stopped you, but you forced me to say this: 'The market for large and small umbrellas isn't very good. I'd like to get more medium and small sizes. Do you have any?'"

Banxia: ...

She said expressionlessly, "No, I won't change it."

However, after Wei San's persistent pleading, they eventually changed their minds.

As soon as he stepped out of the villa, Nanxing almost burst out laughing. How could his wife's slightly broken expression be so cute?

"Is it that funny?" Banxia asked with a resentful look.

“It’s not funny,” Nanxing said, straightening his expression. “If Wei San wants to change again, we can give it to him. We’ll keep the main account for ourselves.”

Banxia was so focused on her burning face that she didn't hear what he was saying at all, and subconsciously hummed in agreement.

Nanxing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I'll listen to my wife!"

Banxia then realized what Nanxing had just said, and her face immediately turned bright red. She glared at him angrily, unable to speak.

"Come on," Nanxing scooped her up in his arms, "Let's go home!"
