Ye Yunxi stayed at home for more than a week, eating and drinking as usual, feeling quite uncomfortable.

In the past week or so, some people have died in the neighborhood, but Ye Yunxi has been oblivious to what's going on and won't care about anything that doesn't concern her.

On this day, Ye Yunxi was eating while watching TV.

Knock knock knock~ A knocking sound came from the stairwell.

Ye Yunxi cautiously carried her Tang sword and arrived at the main gate.

A middle-aged man stood outside the door.

Fu Heng came out when he heard the noise.

When the middle-aged man saw Ye Yunxi come out, he said ingratiatingly, "Miss Ye, I am the building manager elected for this building. My name is Hu Qingnian."

"What is it?" Ye Yunxi frowned.

"It's like this, when the rainstorm came, we still had supplies to sustain us. Now that the extreme cold has arrived, most of us won't survive, some have frozen to death, and now we've run out of food. We've been watching you for a long time and wanted to borrow some supplies to get through this cold night," Hu Qingnian pleaded.

"Ha! You want to borrow supplies from me? You're probably never going to come back!" Ye Yunxi said coldly.

"Miss Ye, don't worry, we can barter. Whatever you need, we can trade with you!" Hu Qingnian said anxiously, afraid that she would refuse.

"Bartering? That sounds nice, but can you even make that decision?"

"Yes! I can make the decision. We've already discussed it, and now I'll represent you to talk to you."

"Alright, I need antiques, calligraphy and paintings from earlier years, jade, gold, sandalwood, etc. If you have any, you can trade with me."

Gold and jade are priced at 10 grams per kilogram of grain. For antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and sandalwood, the price depends on the age; the older the piece, the more grain it contains.

"But don't try to fool me with fakes, or I won't give you any food," Ye Yunxi said coldly.

Space likes these old things, and bartering with them is not out of the question. Otherwise, if Space has to find them on its own, it will be difficult to upgrade.

"Okay, okay, I've got it. I'll tell them right away. I definitely won't lie to you, don't worry." Hu Qingnian smiled and nodded quickly when he saw her speak.

After saying that, he ran downstairs to discuss it with the residents.

"Do you really like these things?" Fu Heng asked, puzzled.

“I really like them. These things were rare before the apocalypse,” Ye Yunxi said with a smile, tilting her head.

How could I possibly tell you that upgrading the space requires these old relics? That would be revealing my secret.

Fu Heng saw Ye Yunxi tilt her head and smile, and chuckled: "You can tell me if you want these. I searched for a lot of office buildings before."

"Oh? How many do you have? What do you need? I can trade with you," Ye Yunxi said with delight.

Fu Heng took out a pile of gold, jade, some antiques, a table and stools made of yellow pear wood, etc. from his spatial storage.

Oh my god! Ye Yunxi was astonished to see so much gold and antiques. "How much have you saved up?"

"There's not much, just this much. There's nothing more. If I see anything else while searching for supplies, I can bring it to you," Fu Heng said with a smile.

"Then what do you need? I'll trade with you."

"I don't need anything right now. I'll let you know when I do. You can keep these for now."

Ye Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony and put away everything Fu Heng gave her. "Okay, then come find me when you need it."

"Um!"

At this moment, Hu Qingnian was discussing Ye Yunxi's words with the residents downstairs.

"What? Why didn't she just rob it?" Grandma Liu said angrily.

"That's right, 10 grams of gold and jade per kilogram of grain, that's too expensive."

"I think, even if it's expensive, it's still better than going hungry."

"Yes, we can't use the gold now, so there's no point in keeping it. We might as well exchange it for food."

People discussed it animatedly, with most agreeing to exchange grain for food, while a few disagreed, feeling it was too expensive.

Hu Qingnian got angry: "What time is it now? Is gold more important than food? If you don't agree, I won't care about you. Don't come looking for us when there's no food."

After Hu Qingnian finished speaking, those who agreed to the grain exchange resonated with him.

"Yes, now that we have something to exchange, let's not worry about so much. Let's fill our stomachs first."

In the end, even those who disagreed agreed to exchange their grain for food.

Only Grandma Liu, who was against Ye Yunxi, felt very uncomfortable, thinking that Ye Yunxi was taking advantage of her misfortune.

But after everyone's insistence, the family agreed to exchange the food first.

Finally, Hu Qingnian led them, bringing antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and jade to exchange for grain.

23rd floor.

"Miss Ye, Mr. Fu, we've come to exchange for grain," Hu Qingnian called out while knocking on the door.

Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng opened the door and came out, looking at them from the front door.

"Miss Ye, we have brought the gold and jade as you requested. How much grain can we exchange for them?" Hu Qingnian said with a smile.

Then he told them to put the gold and jade on the ground for Ye Yunxi to see.

Ye Yunxi calmly took out the equipment that could identify gold and jade.

Like a scale beam for weighing things.

It can distinguish between real and fake, and can also indicate the weight in grams. This was given to her by Fu Heng.

They placed the scale on the ground and weighed their gold and jade on it.

One scale after another, and you exchange the amount of grain you have for the scales.

In the end, each person received about three or four kilograms of grain.

They thanked Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng for saving their lives.

As they thanked her, Grandma Liu muttered cautiously, "Hmph, they're just here to swindle us out of our gold and jade. What's so great about them?"

But Ye Yunxi overheard it.

He smiled and said to Grandma Liu, "You can choose not to exchange the grain; no one is forcing you to."

The others looked at Grandma Liu with confusion, thinking she was up to no good.

Grandma Liu said in fright, "I didn't say anything."

After saying that, he grabbed his food and ran downstairs.

Ye Yunxi watched as Grandma Liu fled in disarray, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You little brat, trying to mess with me? I'll make you furious!"

When the others arrived at Xie's place, they all went downstairs to go home and cook.
