After saying this, Jin Lei relaxed immediately and said with a smile: "The one that Miss Jiang brought... is very powerful."
When talking about Li Wenxi, his attitude was a little strange, as if he wanted to ask something but suppressed his curiosity.
But he was indeed deeply impressed by going out with Miss Li to collect supplies yesterday.
Even he had to say that she was cruel, cruel to the deformed species and even crueler to herself, with a bloody ruthlessness that would not stop until she achieved her goal. Even he felt a chill on the back of his neck when she stared at him.
I don’t know how much suffering that little girl had gone through before to become like this.
Jiang Mi's eyes moved slightly, "Is it not causing any trouble for you?"
Ever since she asked Li Wenxi to follow the team at Jinlei Base to collect supplies, she came back every day covered in dirt, with her body and face covered in the blood of the mutants, but fortunately she herself was not seriously injured. She became more and more silent every day, but her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Jin Lei shook his head. "No, he also brought a lot of help to the team. I have to thank Miss Li for that."
"Also, I want to talk to you, Miss Jiang, about the transaction." Jin Lei sat up a little straighter and put on a serious look again.
Jiang Mi leaned back in the chair and relaxed, holding a cup of fruit tea in his hand and drinking it slowly, "You say."
"I want to know how to trade the perfect awakening potion you have, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mi thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, there is something I still need to tell you."
Jin Lei nodded, "Are you going to talk about Zhao Xiao and Wen Yu?"
"They have already told me that they want to go to the Dawn Base with Miss Jiang, and I agreed." Jin Lei's expression was a little complicated. Zhao Xiao was the technical pillar of the base and had such powerful healing abilities. He didn't want to let him go, but Zhao Xiao had joined the base merely as a transaction. To put it bluntly, he had no right to control whether he stayed or left.
As for Wenyu, she had spent the longest time with him, but unexpectedly, she would have to leave in the end.
Just thinking of Wenyu's paranoid eyes, Jin Lei sighed in his heart. He understood what Wenyu cared about most, and the base could not give her what she wanted.
Jiang Mi tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Jin Lei and said, "Although they volunteered, they followed me after all, so I will compensate you with five awakening potions."
Without waiting for Jin Lei to bargain with her, Jiang Mi said firmly: "Awakening potions are precious. This is the highest price I can offer. If you want more awakening potions, you can only exchange them with crystals."
Jin Lei was silent. Their base had collected only a hundred or so crystals in total, and the quality was uneven. Ever since Jiang Mi asked him to collect crystals, he had been vaguely aware of the importance of this thing, but he didn't expect it to be so rare. He had to kill hundreds of mutants for a chance to get one or two.
"How do I change it?"
"Perfect awakening potion, one top-grade crystal." Jiang Mi smiled slightly.
"Top quality?" Jin Lei frowned slightly. He did find that the crystals were of different qualities and roughly classified them into three categories, but there had never been a clear grade division.
"Is this it?" As he said this, he pulled out a gray-blue crystal from his trouser pocket. It was the size of a walnut, and the blue color was extremely transparent. The gray color almost blended with the blue. At first glance, one might even think it was a pure blue-gray gem, but if you looked closely, you could find that there were gray fibers as thin as hair inside it.
Jiang Mi looked at the crystal in his hand with some surprise.
This quality is indeed top-grade, but the problem is that based on the current level of evolution of those mutants, it is almost impossible to produce top-grade crystals.
With thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Mi looked at Jin Lei inquiringly and nodded, "Yes, this is indeed top-grade."
Jin Lei looked at the crystal in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Miss Jiang, if one of these crystals can be exchanged for one Awakening Potion, I'm afraid I can't afford it."
"You know, this thing was obtained at the cost of more than a hundred lives and four superpowered people in the base."
Jiang Mi's eyebrows twitched slightly. He didn't expect that this top-grade crystal would come at such a painful price.
"The Perfect Awakening Potion is actually completely unnecessary." Jiang Mi said after thinking for a while. "In addition to actively awakening superpowers, the biggest function of the Perfect Awakening Potion is to be immune to all the side effects produced during the awakening process, allowing people to safely pass through the awakening period. I think the first generation potion I gave you before can fully meet your needs."
She will not budge on the price of the Perfect Awakening Potion for the time being.
"Can't you use more medium-quality or low-quality items to trade?" Jin Lei took a deep breath.
Jiang Mi thought for a moment and nodded, "Of course, one hundred middle-grade ones, I won't accept low-grade ones."
After he finished speaking, the expression on Jin Lei's face became even more bitter. He only had more than a hundred crystals in total, and most of them seemed to be of average quality. He had seen the quality of the top-grade ones, and he also had an estimate of the mid-grade ones. With his current inventory, he couldn't even exchange for half a piece.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Jiang Mi did not disturb him and waited quietly for him to think.
The reason for setting such a high price is, firstly, that the cold winter will soon be over. Once the warm spring arrives and the snow melts, the activities of the mutants will become more frequent and the speed of evolution will also accelerate. More importantly, a large range of mutant species of plants and animals will grow explosively.
By then, crystals will no longer be a rare thing. Not every mutant will have them in their bodies, but at least four or five out of ten will have them.
It would take at least two years for the number of mid-quality crystals to start to increase, and high-quality ones would still be scarce, so what she needed to do was to control prices.
Jin Lei thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Well, let's change to the first generation of potions. What is the price of the first generation of potions?"
"One hundred low-grade crystals, ten medium-grade crystals, and ten high-grade crystals." Jiang Mi said with a smile.
Jin Lei's face twitched, and he uttered two words with a tight throat, "Swindler."
Jiang Mi blinked innocently, "There is no business without fraud!"
Jin Lei's face darkened. "This price is too expensive."
Jiang Mi stretched out his index finger and shook it, smiling meaningfully, "No, no, no, this price is very affordable."
As he was talking, he changed the topic, as if he had mentioned it casually, "I wonder if Mr. Jin has noticed that the mutants seem to have become active recently?"
Jin Lei frowned slightly. "Indeed, the mutants that were rarely seen during the day are now stirring. At night, they are everywhere on the streets, and they are particularly crazy about sounds and light sources."
Jiang Mi stopped talking and tapped the table, grinning, "So, Mr. Jin, do you want to trade?"
Jin Lei was silent again, and with a long sigh, he put the top-grade crystal on the table and pushed it to her. Then he stood up and said, "Exchange this for ten."
