Chapter 138 Give me a way
He Ange agreed with Sun Ming's words. Supplies are limited, and whoever can get them first is the most important.
He Ange pretended to be casual and asked, "Have you decided when to go out?"
Sun Ming was very considerate and filled his glass with wine first. "Just these two days. I think we have almost adapted to winter in the past few days. Plus, we just bought a batch of supplies from you. It's a good opportunity to go out."
He Ange held the wine glass and looked at it for a long time, while Sun Ming picked up the food and ate it by himself.
After a long time, He Ange drank a glass of wine. Seeing him like this, a gleam of light flashed in Sun Ming's eyes.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, the two parted like very good friends, saying polite words and promising to get together again next time they had the chance.
After He Ange returned, he began to think about Sun Ming's words. In his understanding, the areas near Longjiao City were all his territory, so it was natural that he should collect the resources in this area first.
But recently, everyone in the team has ignored him. Thinking of this, He Ange spat. It was clearly those guys who abandoned their teammates, so why did they still think he was unfair in the end?
Why are those so-called family members looking for him? If they are dead, they are dead. If he had not established the city-state, they would have died somewhere else long ago.
However, this team is not with him. He also has patrol NPCs. These combat-capable NPCs obey his command unconditionally.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have teammates, as long as he can command the NPCs to fight for him.
On the other side, Sun Ming returned to the base of their Red Wolf team with the purchased supplies. In the room, his teammates were playing cards at several tables. They were not going out to clear the wild area, so this was their only entertainment activity.
"The boss is back." someone shouted.
The other teammates stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet them.
"I bought the things, but that guy still pretended to be serious and said he would sell them to me at a low price." Sun Ming took out all the supplies he bought and piled them in the house.
The charming woman who had been following Sun Ming smiled when she saw the piled up supplies, but when she thought of the thousand tempering fruits given to He Ange, her smile disappeared.
"How could he say that? He wants a thousand Tempering Fruits for such a small thing. I asked the people over there, and they said the city lord's purchase price for Tempering Fruit is 8 silver coins. The price they pay privately is even higher."
They had to spend time killing several brown iron level monsters to get 8 silver coins, but now a tempering fruit that they picked easily is worth this price.
Sun Ming walked forward and put his arm around the woman's waist. "Don't be angry. I told him today that I would go out to clean up the fields. He thinks everything around him is his own property, so he will definitely be jealous. Just wait and see..."
The woman was happy then, and she stroked his chest with her slender and soft hands. "Brother Sun, you still have a solution. That brat dared to ask for so many benefits, he should have thought about the consequences of whether he could eat them or not."
Sun Ming patted the woman's shoulder and said to another team member, "Sell the goods over there and triple the price. It's up to them to buy or not."
The person being ordered nodded, "Got it, Boss."
*
After the deputy captain told the old lady that something bad would happen in the city recently, many ordinary residents came to him for help. They really had no supplies or props, and the weather was too cold and unbearable.
That day, Yao Bing'an received an email. She bought equipment in Xuantian City and wanted to sell it to him at the original price. Needless to say, he knew how low the prices in Xuantian City were.
Thank you! I'll buy the supplies from you first, and then sell them to other residents at the original price.
Yao Bingan: It's okay, as long as you actually sell the stuff to them.
The deputy captain simply took out 15 silver coins and gave them to Yao Bing'an as purchase money.
Yao Bing'an didn't bother to be polite with him. He took the money and started to calculate the price of the supplies in his hand. He would mail it to him until it reached 15 silver coins.
The deputy captain received new clothes and a heater, as well as potions that could remove the negative status of "typhoid fever".
Xuantian City recently launched this potion to prevent people from getting sick in this cold weather, and the potion was prepared in advance.
After receiving the supplies, the deputy captain decided to contact his teammates with whom he had a good relationship first. They went their separate ways to sell the items. Although it wasn't considered saving lives without asking for anything in return in the traditional sense, it was still considered a good deed.
When his teammates knew that he had obtained the supplies sold by Yao Bingan, they started to exclaim in surprise.
Although everyone’s relationship with ordinary residents is not very harmonious at present, when it comes to life and death, if someone is really about to die, they will want to lend a helping hand if they can.
The deputy captain had given the old lady and her family a heating stove, but they all stayed in the bedroom and never went out to eat or sleep.
Xiao Chen's wife was coaxing her crying child. Since her husband's death, the child seemed to sense something and often cried for no reason.
“Dongdongdong——”
There was a knock on the door. The old lady pressed down her daughter-in-law who was about to get up and whispered, "I'll go."
She walked tremblingly to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
A familiar voice came from the other side of the door, "It's me."
It turned out to be the deputy captain. The old lady hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?"
The deputy captain came in and helped close the door. "I contacted a friend I knew before. They're living well in another city-state. After I told her about the situation here, she sold some supplies there and gave them to me at the original price. I'd like to sell them to you, but there aren't many. I can only sell you the amount that's just enough for your needs."
As he spoke, he took out three sets of down jackets for adults, one in child size, and a heating stove that was even bigger than the one he had given him before.
The old lady took the clothes with trembling hands, not only because the living room was too cold, but also because she was too excited.
"This... Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you. We'll buy it for whatever price you want."
His son was a professional gamer and had saved a lot of money, so she had several silver coins on her.
"These add up to a total of 5 silver coins. The clothes are very warm, so the price is a bit high. Here are a few bottles of potion. If you get typhoid in the future, you can drink this to cure it. This bottle is not expensive, 35 copper coins."
This kind of potion that can only cure one negative state is not expensive in Xuantian City.
"Deputy Captain, I know you want to help, but is the price really this low?"
She still remembered that before her son got into trouble, the clothes in the store that had warming properties, but winter clothes that could withstand only +10℃, cost 2 silver coins.
She looked at the clothes in her hand. They were basically winter clothes that could withstand temperatures of +30 degrees Celsius. Surprisingly, the total price of four pieces was only 5 silver coins.
"Old lady, these things are sold in Xuantian City in Jinjiang District. The prices there are low. Your son went there last time, so I should have mentioned it to you."
After he reminded her, the old lady remembered, "Yes, Xiao Chen did. At that time, he also said that he would stay here for the winter and take our family there after the spring."
Who knew that after this stop, he would be gone.
Seeing the old lady crying silently, the deputy captain was filled with emotion and just handed the things to her, saying, "Just get through the winter first. Your grandson is still young."
The old man wiped away his tears, took out the money and handed it to the deputy captain.
He saw that he had been given an extra silver coin, so he took it out and returned it, saying, "The child is still young and will need money in many places in the future. I am not short of it."
The old man didn't insist and put the money away.
