Xu Milu started promoting those strange and unusual seeds to her "potential customers" again, seeds that were of little use to the people of this plane.
For example, there are fast-growing polar tomatoes that can only grow on ice, fluorescent strawberry worms that live underground and are afraid of light (Dwarf Kingdom instance), breadgrass and milk fruit that do not need to flower and pollinate (Phuket Island instance), and she even promoted the Lolo Pig (Pearl City instance) to the Chinese side:
"The Lolo pig is a cold-blooded aquatic vertebrate. Its body fat can support its energy consumption in low-temperature environments. Moreover, Lolo pigs feed on seaweed and plankton and can be co-cultured with wheat and seaweed balls. This breed has the characteristics of high protein and low fat in fish at room temperature, but in low-temperature environments, Lolo pigs will deliberately store a lot of fat to resist the cold, thus becoming a high-fat breed. China has a vast territory, and even if the sea level rises, there are still many coastal cities. Raising Lolo pigs should be the best way for you to obtain meat protein at present."
The Lolo piglets are so tiny, like goldfish, that you wouldn't guess they have the potential to grow to a ton when placed in a glass tank.
Hao Xiaoxi whispered something to the Chinese representative beside her, then turned to look at Xu Milu:
"We intend to purchase a large quantity of seeds for juicy, upside-down apples, piglet seedlings, fast-growing polar tomatoes, and wheat seaweed balls. As you have seen, solar storms have destroyed 50 percent of civilian technology on Earth. Cultivating silver osmanthus trees in lunar soil carries certain risks, so we urgently hope that both parties can reach a satisfactory payment method for delivery."
China was quite astute, realizing the practical value of lunar soil before other countries' representatives understood that cultivating silver osmanthus trees required a large amount of lunar soil, and proactively offered to purchase it using other energy sources.
Xu Milu thought for a moment and then gave her answer:
"Jade, all kinds of high-quality jade can also be used as currency. Of course, I have no objection if the United Government chooses to use lunar soil for transactions."
"agree."
"vereinbaren. (agree)"
"Согласен. (agree)"
"Agree"
"???? (Acceptable)"
Following China's statement, the interim representatives of other countries also received opinions from their respective governments, and they all expressed their agreement.
Since Earth mastered heavy nuclear fusion technology, the equatorial engine consumes an astonishing amount of rocks every day. Jade is merely a byproduct of mining rocks, and the energy produced when it is burned is negligible. If jade can be traded, the United Government can obtain the greatest support at the lowest cost.
Xu Milu couldn't help but think that perhaps this was one of the reasons why interdimensional merchants existed.
Some plants that are unpopular or even superfluous in other dimensions can play a vital role on this planet riddled with holes. In Sun Wukong's words, this is the natural order of things, the cycle of cause and effect.
"Okay, let's talk about the specific price now."
Xu Milu's sentimentality lasted only a few seconds before she pulled a calculator from her system inventory, adopting the demeanor of a shrewd businesswoman:
"Each upside-down juicy apple plant costs energy points; a single wheat seaweed ball costs 1000 energy points; each gram of fast-growing polar tomato seeds costs 500 energy points; each unit of fluorescent berry worm costs 10 energy points; each gram of breadgrass and milk berry seeds costs 500 energy points; each Lolo piglet costs energy points; 100 grams of jade is equivalent to 1 energy point; 1 gram of pure lunar soil is equivalent to 1 energy point..."
Every time she quoted a price, the eyebrows of the representatives from the coalition government would twitch. In the end, the Russian representative was filled with tears and wished he could become sworn brothers with Xu Milu on the spot.
This price isn't just a lifeline, it's a nuclear bomb!
This is hardly an alien friend!
This is clearly my long-lost half-brother!
Hao Xiaoxi suppressed her excitement, trying to hide her smile, before asking Xu Milu about the exact number of plants:
"We would like to know the specific amount of these plants, and we are also willing to complete the transaction as soon as possible and implement the planting task at the fastest speed."
Xu Milu took stock of the system inventory and provided detailed data directly:
"100,000 juicy apple tree seedlings, 150,000 wheat seaweed balls, 50,000 catties of fast-growing polar tomato seeds, 100,000 catties of fluorescent berries, 90,000 catties each of breadgrass and milk berry seeds. As for laurel trees, there is no stock at the moment, but they can be delivered on the next trading day."
At first glance, this number sounds impressive, but with over seven billion people in the world, these plants are just a drop in the ocean when distributed among various countries.
But Hao Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
—Although the highest decision-making body on Earth is now the United Government, it does not mean that the concept of "nation" no longer exists. China is a populous country, so of course it must consider its own people first. If the other party can only provide a limited number of plants, then the alliance between countries will inevitably crack again.
However, the fact that the other party mentioned "a next time" indicates that the transaction is not a one-off deal but is sustainable.
While other countries' representatives were engaged in "friendly exchanges," trying to secure more allocations of magical plants from other nations, Hao Xiaoxi quietly turned off the simultaneous translator and smiled slightly at Xu Milu:
"China has always adhered to dialogue, cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results, and maintaining a good bilateral development relationship has always been China's firm choice. China hopes that in this process, both sides can maintain close communication at all levels and in all fields. We have prepared five tons of lunar soil as a testament to the friendship between China and Ms. Xu."
