Wandering?
If a mutant was stopped, it would definitely try to force its way in, so it is unlikely.
Could it be an evolver?
But the farm is located in a place where there are hardly any passers-by to be seen. How could an evolver specifically run around and wander around there?
After thinking about it, Ye Mian decided not to ignore it directly, but went to find Lu Ning.
After hearing her talk about this and expressing her desire to go out and take a look, Lu Ning put down the work in his hands and said, "Okay, I'll drive."
"Wait, let me make some preparations."
After running up and down the stairs several times, Ye Mian finally walked outside the field to meet Lu Ning who had turned the car around. After getting in the car and sitting down, he heard the latter ask with speculation.
"Could it be those people from yesterday?"
Ye Mian fastened his seat belt and said, "I'm not sure. I'll know when I go and have a look."
Although the scope of the farm has expanded a lot, after changing to a car suitable for outdoor driving, Ye Mian felt that the road seemed to be shortened. She just opened the system warehouse and took a look. When she raised her eyes again, she saw several people watching outside from a distance.
"It's really them," Lu Ning was a little surprised, "How did they find me here?"
Ye Mian was not too surprised: "Just like we speculated that they would stay in the village temporarily, they would also guess whether we are not far away."
What's more, she left behind freshly harvested crops, so instead of looking for traces along the highway, it would be better to come to these wild fields.
I just don't know if the purpose of their trip is what she thinks.
At the same time, Xie Yi and his group outside the farm were originally planning to retreat, but when they heard the sound of a car approaching, they subconsciously walked together and looked at the off-road vehicle that they had seen coming out of the mountain yesterday.
"Is it them?"
"It seems like...Ayi, is this their skill?"
Just now when they discovered that the road was blocked by an invisible and large wall, they thought it was also caused by a strange mutation. Now that they see that the car can pass through it unimpeded, they know that it was not formed naturally but was man-made.
Xie Yi said: "It shouldn't be. After all, when an evolver uses skills, it will consume his own physical and mental strength."
It is impossible to maintain such a large-scale skill all the time.
The other people actually knew this as well. Now that he had confirmed it, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing for a moment whether to feel amazed or complicated.
If they also had such a wall for protection, they would not have to work hard in shifts day and night, and they would not have to worry about not being able to eat or sleep well.
"Chen Jia is in there too, right?"
Hearing the mumbling, the expressions of several people became more complicated. Yesterday they were still worried that Chen Jia was cheated, but today they wished they were the one who followed those two people.
Xie Yi did not say anything, but just lowered his eyes slightly and thought about something. When the SUV stopped not far away and someone got out of the car, he came to his senses and looked over.
Seeing that it was indeed Ye Mian and Lu Ning who got off the car, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"You guys..." Ye Mian stopped a few steps away from Xie Yi and his group, and glanced at them briefly, "Did you come to see us on purpose?"
There weren't many people coming, and except Xie Yi, they were all capable of fighting. But it also made sense. They came here based on guesses alone, so they must have protected their own safety on the way.
"Yes," Xie Yi nodded, and then without beating around the bush, he stretched out his hand towards Ye Mian and opened his palm, "We wanted to ask, do you need this thing?"
What was placed on his palm was actually a piece of rhenium.
Ye Mian was a little surprised at this moment: "Just to ask such an uncertain question, you came here even though you knew there might be danger on the road?"
"Yes, just for asking."
Not only did Xie Yi answer calmly and composedly, the people around him did not show any doubt or disagreement. It seemed that after solving the mutant that could only become a hidden danger yesterday, they became more united and trusted and relied on Xie Yi even more.
He no longer felt repulsive or suspicious towards Ye Mian and Lu Ning.
She thought it would take a few more contacts before they would completely let down their guard.
Seeing that Ye Mian did not respond for a while, Xie Yi quickly added: "It's because you don't seem to be short of supplies, but this stone seems unusual, maybe it has a special effect."
Ye Mian nodded slightly: "Well, so you want to use this to exchange supplies with us?"
"Yes, if possible." Xie Yi said, with a barely detectable expectation flashing in his eyes.
Whether he had his eyes open or closed yesterday, he could always think of the corn and sweet potatoes left by Ye Mian. After thinking about it all night, he decided to take a gamble. If he didn't win, there would be no loss, but if he won, it would mean more chances of survival!
"It's not impossible," Ye Mian said thoughtfully, "but what to change and how to change it will be decided by us. Can you accept it?"
Although Xie Yi really wanted to specify corn and sweet potatoes, he should be content with achieving his goal and not ask for more, so he nodded firmly: "We accept."
"Okay, how many of these stones do you have? Take them out and let's see them."
After that, when they started to search their pockets, Ye Mian motioned Lu Ning to come over and whispered, "Cooperate with me later."
Lu Ning probably knew that he was going to "get" something from the car again, so he just nodded lightly.
At the same time, there was also a sense of warmth and reassurance. Ye Mian was not defenseless towards everyone as Xue Kai believed, but only towards a few of them.
This means that she trusts them 100%.
Xie Yi came here with the mentality of betting big, so he naturally would not rush to collect things at the last minute. He directly took out a bunch of things, which were put in a cloth bag with a big opening. It looked like there were dozens or even hundreds of pieces of money.
However, they vary in size and quality, and some have minor flaws. They may have been taken out without knowledge, or their semi-condensed state was interrupted.
After obtaining Xie Yi's consent, Ye Mian picked up a few pieces of rhenium stones of different shapes and sizes, weighed them, and had a rough idea in his mind.
——Although there are a lot of them, not all rhenium stones are worth 100 points.
Xie Yi looked at her and said, "There are a total of ninety-two pieces in here. You can exchange for a smaller piece or give it as a gift. Is that okay with you?"
Ye Mian did not respond to this, but sat down cross-legged directly: "Pour it all out first, I'll sort it out."
Hearing this, not only Xie Yi was stunned, but the people around him were also stunned, and then they couldn't help but reveal some worried looks.
But in the end they didn't say anything. Instead, they did as Ye Mian said and poured all the rhenium stones in the bag onto the ground.
Lu Ning watched Ye Mian's sorting method for a while, then sat down and helped to sort the stones according to size and color.
Soon, the ninety-two pieces of rhenium were divided into three small piles. It was obvious at a glance that the first pile was the best in both shape and color, the second pile was slightly inferior, and the third pile contained some scattered and defective ones.
At the same time, the third pile has the largest number of species, which should all come from mutants that have just mutated.
"One yuan of this can be exchanged for a bag of rice or flour," Ye Mian pointed to the first pile, then to the second pile, "and this can be exchanged for corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vegetables. As for the small ones, they don't have to be included. You can exchange them for the first two according to different quantities. Of course, the minimum price is ten yuan."
“And rice and flour!?”
"They can really be changed! That's great!"
"It turns out that it was right to listen to Ayi!!!"
The few of them immediately put their worries behind them and showed excitement and excitement. They almost grabbed Xie Yi's arm and asked him to change it quickly.
Xie Yi also changed his usual calmness, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Then let's discuss what to change."
Although it was called a discussion, it was obvious that those people would choose to listen to Xie Yi's idea, so the result came out soon - whatever could be exchanged would be exchanged.
As for the third pile of defective rhenium stones, they were all exchanged for sweet potatoes at ten yuan a bag.
Their way of exchange was exactly what Ye Mian wanted. After all, the farm already had a little bit of everything in its early stages, and he might have to do business with the young couple later, so he had to be prepared for both situations.
"Wait a mininute."
Ye Mian and Lu Ning exchanged glances, then stood up together tacitly, walked to the back of the car and opened the guardrail.
"Fortunately, I made preparations in advance, so I didn't have to run back and forth."
Hearing her words, Lu Ning was slightly startled, and then he saw her start to take things out bag by bag, and then he suddenly realized: "So you just prepared these."
No wonder he could tell the exchange method without even thinking, and even nailed down the exact number of bags.
Ye Mian smiled and said, "Actually, half of it is Xue Kai's work. He thought of packaging them separately for storage, so I just took them and used them."
Lu Ning silently praised: "As expected of him."
"But can those stones be used as ores to forge into metals? Or do they have other uses?" Lu Ning asked as he tried to hang more bags on himself, but then he saw Ye Mian take out a very familiar shopping cart.
“…”
"I think they have both. They may be very useful in the future," Ye Mian loaded bags of food into the truck. "The biggest use for it right now is that it can be exchanged for points, and then the points can be used to exchange for seeds. In short, it's always a good idea to save more."
"Well, what about the one before that...?"
Ye Mian pointed to the system panel in front of him that Lu Ning couldn't see: "They are all stored."
"That's good."
When the two men finished loading and pushed the supermarket shopping cart over, Xie Yi and the others were stunned. After a while, they remembered that they should be ecstatic - these were really fresh grains and vegetables, and there were quite a lot in each bag!
While taking in their reactions, Ye Mian also looked into the shopping cart. Except for rice and flour, which not only require labor to plant and harvest, but also require a lot of effort in subsequent processing, so even a small bag is worth a hundred points, the other bags are basically the output of one seed, and only one hundred points can be exchanged for fifty seeds.
Well...there's no need to tell them this.
After the exchange, Ye Mian thought again and said, "By the way, please keep these packaging bags as well as possible and return them to us for recycling next time."
“There will be a next time!?”
Several people exclaimed subconsciously, the joy on their faces was beyond words.
Xie Yi couldn't help but get a little excited, and his voice was raised a little: "Don't worry, we will!"
"Well, safe journey then."
After nodding politely, Ye Mian and Lu Ning turned around and walked back to the farm, and put all the rhenium stones into the system warehouse.
Just as she was looking at the rhenium stone that she had put in the second pile and could be exchanged for 100 points, and was sighing that she was such a talented capitalist, a somewhat unexpected text box suddenly popped up.
