Chapter 196: Not Understanding, But Respect
I was quite surprised to see the news about Mingchen Xiyue.
In fact, transactions on the Multiverse Trading System are entirely voluntary and the system does not force an equal exchange. Sometimes it may seem like she is at a disadvantage, but in reality, Ning Xuan feels that she is actually making a profit most of the time.
But from another perspective, over this long period of time, all of them felt that they had found something that suited them, and none of them felt that they had been taken advantage of. This was the first time that the other party had directly asked Ning Xuan if she would be taken advantage of.
How could she possibly lose out? Even if Lin Yuhan bought the most expensive food in modern times, it would only cost her a few thousand yuan, definitely not more than ten thousand yuan. But before Ning Xuan transmigrated, the price of gold had already exceeded 1,000 yuan per gram. Buying from brand stores would incur additional processing fees and brand premiums, making it even more expensive than the market price.
Even without waiting for the price of gold to skyrocket, Ning Xuan could have made a considerable profit from the few kilograms of gold that Xi Yue traded to her today. In fact, she felt that Xi Yue had lost out.
Before Ning Xuan could reply, Xi Yue gave a brief account of her situation.
Ning Xuan then realized that green and pollution-free food in the interstellar dimension was so expensive.
Alright, then she doesn't need to worry about Xi Yue suffering a loss.
Both parties feel they made a profit in today's transaction.
[You won't lose out. These foods aren't this expensive here, so don't worry. Just come back to me next time you need them!]
Hearing Ning Xuan say that it wasn't a loss, Xi Yue finally felt less uneasy and worried that the other party would suffer a loss or regret it.
However, she immediately had an idea: since the other party's high-end ingredients weren't expensive, could she resell them here? That would be much more profitable than scavenging for trash on garbage planets.
However, there is a problem: currently, most of the G-grade ingredients in the Federation's interstellar space can only be cultivated by the Royal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and only a very small number of super-rich families have experts with extremely high mental strength who are able to regularly purify plants or animals during their growth stages to ensure that toxins do not accumulate in the ingredients.
Moreover, it's not enough to just have mental power to purify; you also need pheromones and a high affinity with plants/animals, combined with purification techniques.
Then there needs to be a dedicated area with low radiation to cultivate plants/animals.
With these conditions combined, ordinary people simply have no way to cultivate high-end ingredients on their own.
Then, all G-grade ingredients sold on the market can be traced by scanning a code. You can find out exactly which plot of land in the Royal Agricultural Research Institute it came from, which pit it was produced in, and which master caretaker took care of it.
Therefore, it is impossible for Xi Yue to resell large quantities of G-grade ingredients, as she cannot produce the traceability code.
However, she still sent a message to Ning Xuan, clinging to a sliver of hope.
【These ingredients are all very good, but too good. I can only use them myself here. I was wondering if you have any foods with slightly lower radiation levels where you are?】
Do you need ingredients that are contaminated with radiation?
Ning Xuan was quite surprised by the request, but considering Xi Yue's situation, it seemed reasonable.
She doesn't have it here, but she knows where to find it. Aren't the mutated plants on Han Dongling's side contaminated? She just doesn't know if they meet Xi Yue's requirements.
She quickly messaged Han Dongling, asking her to pick some of the mutated plants that were originally edible over there.
Han Dongling was equally puzzled by Ning Xuan's message, but she respected it. Ning Xuan was currently outside farming crystal cores and had just killed several mutated plants that could attack people.
Although mutated plants are everywhere after the apocalypse, not all mutated plants will attack people. Those that will attack people can be divided into those that attack actively and those that attack passively.
Some plants would actually be more accurately described as polluted plants, but since polluted plants do indeed mutate, not only in appearance but also in the composition of their internal components, they are simply all classified as mutated plants.
Han Dongling glanced around and saw that there were a few mutated wild vegetables. Before the apocalypse, these were all edible, so she picked a few at random.
Ning Xuan traded the mutated wild vegetables she had received to Xi Yue. Xi Yue only had garbage and nutrient solutions, so she traded two nutrient solutions to Ning Xuan, feeling embarrassed.
Ning Xuan knew she couldn't eat this and wouldn't dare try it, but she thought it might be useful in the future, so she stored it away carefully.
Xi Yue recognized these wild vegetables. Although they were slightly different, they looked very similar to the pictures in the encyclopedia of plants. She quickly turned on the detection system of her computer and started testing the plants.
She had already turned off the sound notifications; only the computer interface would pop up messages.
[Beep, Radiation level F]
[Beep, Radiation level F]
[Beep, Radiation level F]
...
All 6 wild vegetables were grade F, that's fantastic!
Food products with radiation levels of F or higher do not require a traceability code for sale. Food products below level E are safe to eat directly. Food products with level G radiation can be consumed without limit each month without detoxification injections, although very few people have the means to consume them without limit.
Grade E means you don't need to take detox injections if you consume a certain amount each month. Grade F is the same, but the amount you can consume directly with Grade F is more than twice that of Grade E.
In short, the lower the radiation level, the higher the price. Ordinary people cannot resell G-level radiation, but as long as you have F-level or higher radiation, you can sell it freely. At most, people will think that you were lucky to collect a low-radiation-level item.
This was truly astonishing; Xi Yue could practically feel countless star coins flying towards her.
The ingredients you collect can be sold at the Appraisal Bureau, where prices are uniform, but you'll earn merit points. Merit points are a valuable resource; some items can't be bought with star coins, only with merit points.
However, if you open your own store, whether it's a physical store or an online store, you can set the price arbitrarily, as long as someone buys it.
Xi Yue thought that her most important task right now was to survive. She was short of star coins, and if she could collect enough star coins within two months, she could go to a private college to study.
Therefore, Xi Yue still planned to focus on earning star coins first. There was no shortage of customers for F-grade ingredients, so she immediately opened her personal computer and registered a star-level outlet on it.
She is now particularly grateful that she has come of age and that her household registration has been separated into an interstellar public household registration, which is a collective household registration provided by the Federation Interstellar Community for citizens without property.
With her own household registration and being an adult, she can make all her own decisions without needing a guardian, which is so convenient.
Following the instructions on the interstellar website, she quickly registered an interstellar online store, and then used holographic projection technology to upload the few wild vegetables she currently had to her store.
