Chapter 166 Chapter 168 Emergency Reserve Food
Rong Xianxian pondered for a while. She would be leaving tomorrow and she only had a few hours in the afternoon. If she sold the goods to someone like the thin man, she would be so disappointed that she would vomit blood. She was afraid that the man would not be able to eat such goods with his ability.
Seeing that Rong Xianxian was stunned and silent, the thin man was not sure whether he had guessed wrong, and Rong Xianxian did not have the goods at all, or Rong Xianxian was reluctant to give up the benefits and was trying to find a way to reject him.
Anyway, judging from her appearance, I don't think I can trick her today.
The thin man rolled his eyes impatiently, "Okay, I'm sorry for saying this, but I still have to advise you, if you make a deal in this exchange, be careful that someone is following you when you go out!" The thin man had other things to do and had no time to waste with her, so he threatened her unwillingly.
Rong Xianxian came back to her senses. She was having a headache about how to sell the goods in her hands. She didn't care about the thin man's threats and didn't intend to argue with him. Although the thin man's words were unpleasant to the ears and he was threatening and intimidating with evil intentions, his face was gentle and his tone was not fierce. He revealed a lot of information in his words, which made Rong Xianxian more alert to the environment here.
Before coming here, I only wanted to exchange the monster corpses for resources. I was not sure how many resources I could get from these monster corpses. Judging from the exchange list of the Monster Research Institute, the monster corpses in Rong Xianxian's hands can be exchanged for a lot of military equipment. The purchasing personnel stationed at the exchange of the Monster Research Institute probably do not have this authority.
Rong Xianxian suddenly had an idea. Instead of going back and forth, it would be better to go directly to the head of the safe zone, the highest commander of the military region, to discuss business and make deals. I wonder if it is feasible? Before, Liu Qingchen had mentioned to her that the highest commander of the military region here, Yu Feng, was Liu Qingchen's comrade-in-arms.
Rong Xianxian thought while looking around.
This exchange covers a large area. In addition to the Monster Research Institute, the official shops also include the Mutant Plant Research Institute, the Mutant Animal Research Institute, a department store, a knife shop selling all kinds of knives, a firearms shop selling guns and ammunition, and even a protective gear shop selling bulletproof vests and body armor.
Rong Xianxian had also stayed in the safe zone in her previous life and had seen exchanges in different safe zones, but she never expected that at the beginning of the apocalypse, firearms were already being sold openly in the exchange in the Binyang safe zone. Although these ordinary firearms had very limited effective killing power against monsters and the prices seemed very unfair, but looking at the explorers' burning eyes staring at the firearms, she knew that these firearms gave the explorers the motivation and hope to fight.
Most of the people queuing in front of the store of the Mutant Plant Research Institute were carrying bamboo baskets used for collecting medicinal herbs. Some of the plants in the baskets were arranged in a disorderly manner, some were arranged neatly, some were filled to the brim, and some of the large baskets were just covered with plants.
Like the Monster Research Institute, there is also a large curtain in front of the Mutant Plant Research Institute. The curtain is painted with the shapes and characteristics of various mutant plants. There are corresponding purchase prices below the plants. Most of the common plants that can be used as medicine or food are purchased by weight, and the prices vary.
Similarly, unknown plants that are not included in the map still sell for a high price even if their value is unknown.
There is not only an official trading department in the exchange. There are also many small vendors who set up stalls in the hall, either individually or in teams. There are a wide variety of goods, big and small, new, old, broken, and everything from food to daily necessities to toys.
After all, it has only been a short time since the end of the world began, and the Binyang Security Zone has not introduced a unified currency. In addition to barter, the most popular trading method recognized by everyone is to use food and work points cards issued by the base as currency units, and the official trading departments uniformly use work points to mark prices.
Rong Xianxian walked and stopped along the way and got a general understanding of the prices in the exchange.
Most personal stalls are set up by spreading an old bed sheet or curtain on the ground, placing the goods on it, negotiating the price, and then doing the transaction.
The weapons and armors with sky-high prices in the official trading department had no appeal to Rong Xianxian. Compared with the clearly marked prices in the official trading department, Rong Xianxian was more interested in the individual stalls with messy goods. Along the way, she saw a lot of interesting things, but unfortunately she had no work points, so she could only leave in disappointment.
Rong Xianxian was carrying a concealed backpack on her back. In the backpack were two packs of 20 sausages, each weighing 80 grams, two large bags of instant noodles, each containing five bags, a bottle of soda water, a bottle of multivitamin tablets, and a bag of monster bacon jerky that contained spiritual energy. Unfortunately, these were emergency reserve foods that could not be used easily.
In her sachet space, apart from the monster corpse that was to be sold, there were only two jars of aged Laojiao original liquor, which were the treasures in Ning Qingyun's wine cabinet.
Most of the fine wines collected by Ning Qingyun in the luxurious wine cabinet in Chongzhou's house were used by Rong Xianxian as alcohol to start fires in the final battle. Instead, some cans of beer were collected by Rong Xianxian as a source of drinking water.
These last two jars of aged Laojiao original liquor were just the fish that slipped through the net. After the battle with the giant bird, before Rong Xianxian left, she found these two jars of wine in the cracked wine cabinet and put them into the sachet space.
Maybe we can see what price this wine can be sold for?
Rong Xianxian took a walk around the department store and took a deep breath. A jar of wine cost one hundred work points, the same price as a bag of sausages.
Ning Qingyun treasures this wine very much. It must have been worth a lot of money before the end of the world, but now it is as valuable as a bag of sausage. Rong Xianxian's expression now can be described as dumbfounded (refer to the expression of Erha when he tilts his head, rolls his eyes and sticks out his tongue).
Then Rong Xianxian felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, she was angry at the time and confiscated the wine on purpose. Otherwise, it would just take up space and be worthless, which would be a huge loss. After all, she only had the space of a sachet at the time and could only hold a limited amount of things.
At the same time, Rong Xianxian felt a little regretful. Her foggy space was filled with vehicles and she didn't bring anything with her. Her sachet space was all used to store monster corpses. Apart from the two jars of wine forgotten in the corner, she had nothing else to exchange. Otherwise, she could have exchanged forty or fifty packs of sausages for forty or fifty jars of good wine. This would have been a huge profit!
Rong Xianxian felt that it would be a huge loss to sell the wine now, and thought that if there was something she really wanted, she might as well exchange it for her emergency food reserves. Rong Xianxian made the decision somewhat helplessly. Alas, without money, shopping was not that fun.
As Rong Xianxian was walking, she suddenly stopped in front of a stall. The stall owner was a skinny old man with a messy beard. His eyes were cloudy and his face was full of sorrow.
