“That’s right. Others want to see our Xiyue but can’t, so you should be grateful you can,” Commander Zhou chimed in.
How can they disrespect Xiyue? They didn't come here to negotiate; they came here to support Xiyue.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk to me? The only city in China that can supply you with resources is Licheng. If you don't talk to me, then you can forget about other cities either."
Fang Xiyue didn't take them seriously at all. She didn't care whether they talked or not; it wasn't her who was hungry anyway.
"You! Fine, let's get this over with quickly."
The man was angry, but he also understood what Fang Xiyue meant.
If we don't talk to her, we won't get supplies if we talk to others, whether it's a threat or a fact, we have to talk about it.
"Don't think we're talking to you because we're afraid you'll start another war. We just don't want humanity to fight amongst itself when zombies are rampant."
Once or twice is acceptable, but there's no third time. If you continue to cause trouble, I will lead my people to raze your land to the ground. I, Fang Xiyue, mean what I say.
Of course, if you behave well and only need supplies, you can exchange them with your own things. We don't mind having too little jade or too much oil.
Zombie crystals will do too; we'll take any non-renewable resource.
Fang Xiyue got straight to the point, skipping all the formalities.
"We just need some food, and you're asking us for oil directly? Isn't that too expensive?"
The representatives were all angered by Fang Xiyue, but they did not doubt her claim that she could flatten their land, after all, they were people with magical abilities.
"Is it expensive? I don't think so. You'd all die if you didn't have food. Do you think you can eat oil raw?"
Fang Xiyue twirled a pen in her hand, her expression conveying the message that she only wanted these non-renewable resources and nothing else, as her country had plenty of other things.
If it weren't for the fact that not all foreigners are bad, she probably would have started waging war and slaughtering people.
Although the zombies will disappear one day, no one knows exactly when. The land is no longer arable, so they have no choice but to compromise.
After a series of discussions, they all chose to pay for the crystal cores, since non-renewable resources are indeed less valuable once given away.
Once the post-apocalyptic world stabilizes and the economy recovers, they can be sold for a high price.
Fang Xiyue also thought they would choose crystal cores. Fine, crystal cores it is. She doesn't mind. Anyway, she can go for a stroll and sign in for those non-renewable resources.
Although she wanted crystal cores, Fang Xiyue was asking for a higher price.
A bag of instant noodles that sells for 0.1 yuan per first-grade crystal core is being sold for two bags with one first-grade crystal core.
The price was increased several times over, but Fang Xiyue felt that she hadn't asked for much, since they had almost finished eating.
Rice costs 0.2 grade one crystal cores per pound. I'll just ask for 2 grade one crystal cores per pound. Anyway, this is the price. Take it or leave it.
Fang Xiyue didn't sign any peace treaty with them because they had no sense of contractual obligation, so signing it would be pointless.
As long as it's a cash-on-delivery transaction, that's fine. Anyway, they won't be allowed into the city, so the exchange can just be done at the dock.
"As long as you give me the crystal cores, I have whatever you want."
Fang Xiyue wasn't bragging when she said this, but they didn't believe her, though they didn't say it directly.
"We didn't bring that many crystal cores. We'll come back in two days." Three national representatives left first.
"Could you give us credit first? We promise to deliver enough crystal cores to you."
"Yeah, since we've reached a friendly cooperation agreement, it's fine to give it to us first, right?!"
The remaining four countries intend to get something for nothing.
“Oh no, I know that people in your country are starving to death. If you delay any longer, even more people will starve to death, and you will be the ones who cause their deaths.”
Fang Xiyue would never give them anything on credit; that would be like throwing good money after bad.
"We're all human, why can't you show us some kindness? It's not like we're not giving you crystal cores."
"We just want to take the grain back now so we can save our people's lives first!" The representative from Sen Kingdom looked at them as if they had no compassion.
“Yes, if we come three days later, who knows how many more people will die in those three days.” The representative from Hong Kong agreed wholeheartedly.
The other two, Rimingguo and Qiguo, nodded repeatedly. They were just there to watch the show; if it succeeded, they would get a share, and if it failed, they wouldn't lose anything.
"If you're so kind-hearted, why don't you give us some of your non-renewable resources?"
We're really short of them right now. Without them, we'd have to walk; we can't drive or fly planes anymore, we'd be exhausted.
Fang Xiyue retorted, mimicking their manner of speaking. Didn't they know their own worth? They were still trying to get something for nothing.
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Why be so sarcastic?" The representative from Mori felt he was being subtly insulted.
"You even know about sarcastic remarks? Looks like you've studied our Chinese culture quite a bit. Goodbye, or a few more will die if you linger any longer."
After Fang Xiyue finished speaking, she waved her hand to say goodbye.
The four men felt stuck in a rut, unable to go up or down, and looked at the other four Chinese men present, but they were looking at the sky and the ground and not at them.
They could only turn away, feeling as if all the anger they had accumulated in this lifetime had been used up in a single day.
The four of them had been humiliated by Fang Xiyue and truly hated her, harboring a deep desire to find a way to kill her in the future.
They should be thankful that they had this idea outside the coastline protection mechanism, otherwise they would have been thrown into the sea.
The seven countries came with great fanfare, but left dejectedly, gaining nothing and losing a significant number of aircraft, warships, and soldiers.
"Hahaha, that's awesome! Seeing them get their comeuppance is so satisfying, I really want to drink and celebrate!" Commander Chu laughed until his eyes disappeared.
"Yes, it feels so good. Shall we go for a drink?" Commander Zhou also felt that it was time to celebrate with some drinks.
"What would you like to drink? Don't you want to go home? Be careful your wives don't scold you." Commander Zhang joked with a smile. Everyone knew they were henpecked.
"Hey Lao Zhang, that's not very nice of you. Can't you just not bring up something so unpleasant when we're having such a happy time? I'll drink first. If I drink too much, I won't even hear her cursing at me."
Commander Chu glared at Commander Zhang, "Are you going or not? If you're not going, we're leaving."
“Of course we’ll go! It’s such a happy time, we should definitely go.” Commander Zhang nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would go.
"Why don't you gentlemen come with me? I have some really good wine that you can't find anywhere else. I'll call the other division commanders and we'll have a good drink together later."
Seeing the elderly folks laughing so happily, Fang Xiyue didn't hesitate to use the wine from her spatial storage.
"Alright, Xiyue, you're in charge of getting the drinks, and we'll be in charge of calling people."
Commander Jiang knows that Xiyue has a lot of good stuff, so this time everyone is getting a good deal.
