Chapter 132: Crystal Exchange
The trading area is not big and is not divided into sections like the J City base. It is rather messy, and you can see small tents on the path.
When passing by another tent, some strange noises came from inside, and three pairs of eyes peeked in curiously.
Gu Chao: “…”
No, plus the two little ones they were holding in their arms.
Five pairs of eyes peeked curiously.
I wonder if the brothers in the tent feel a chill down their spines... ?
Gu Chao held his forehead and thought he really shouldn't have listened to Lu Ming and brought all these little guys out for a walk.
He had no choice but to grab Luming's wrist and lead her through these areas quickly.
Don't worry about the other two little ones, they will follow as soon as Lu Ming leaves.
Lin Cong and Tang Yanwen were laughing so hard beside them.
The combination of three boys, one girl and two children is not common in the base, especially since they are so good-looking and have a 1000% turning head rate.
Moreover, each of them carried a bag, which made them look very rich, so the survivors who were setting up stalls nearby kept trying to sell their things to them.
Huh?
Lu Ming's eyes suddenly focused, and he tugged at Gu Chao's sleeve. When he looked over, he pointed to a street stall not far away.
Someone is actually selling crystals?
And it's level three.
A few people looked at each other and walked away casually.
"Eh? How much is this?"
The stall owner was a dirty man, probably around thirty years old.
His eyes rolled, and he whispered, "Hey, are you new here? This is good stuff. It's the crystal core in the zombie's brain. Eating it can increase your superpowers, maybe even level up twice. But it's a bit dangerous. I wonder if you dare to eat it."
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
This person is obviously talking nonsense.
A large man on the opposite side couldn't stand it any longer and yelled, "Hu San, you're here to cheat us again! Don't listen to his nonsense about increasing your superpowers. If you eat it, you'll die. If you want to turn into a zombie, then eat it!"
The man retorted, "Hey, I told you it's dangerous. You can't get in the way of others getting stronger. Shut up!"
Lu Ming thanked the big man, then squatted down and asked the man called Hu San, "I'm a water element. Will this green one work for me?"
Upon hearing this, Hu San glanced at the big man with a smug look, and chuckled, "Yes, as long as you have superpowers, you can eat this stuff. But I have to tell you first, eating this is dangerous, think carefully before buying it, otherwise don't blame me if anything goes wrong."
"Then how do you sell it?"
"Ten kilograms of food, or something of equal value will do."
Lu Ming's face fell when she heard this. She said angrily, "The work the base offers me is only ten kilograms a day. Who are you kidding?! Go away! I don't want this anymore!"
Then he stood up and wanted to leave.
Hu Sanyi got anxious and stood up quickly. "Hey, beautiful lady, don't go! I didn't hear you clearly just now. It turns out that you are a noble person of the water element. Just tell me how much you can give me. If it's suitable, take it away."
Lu Ming stopped in his tracks with a look of surprise on his face, turned back and thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you want some water?"
Hu San was a little nervous at first, but when he heard her words he was very surprised, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Then he took out a dirty mineral water bottle and handed it over.
Lu Ming didn't take it, but just stretched out his finger, and Hu San understood and unscrewed the bottle cap.
After putting half the bottle of water in, Lu Ming stopped and without waiting for him to say anything, he grabbed the crystal and left.
This kind of nonsense liar, I gave him half a bottle just for the sake of this base.
Hu San was not unhappy. After all, the crystal stone came from the brain of a zombie killed by someone else, which was equivalent to getting half a bottle of water for free.
Hey, I'm lucky today.
Turning around, Lu Ming bought two sheets from the big man who had just spoken, but also filled a large pot of water for him, which made the people around him jealous.
The group walked forward and saw several stalls selling crystals. They calmly exchanged a few for water.
At present, the official currency of the base has not yet been unified, and basically everything is done by barter. So along the way, Lu Ming bought a lot of things with ordinary lake water, and everyone held a large stack in their hands.
I have to say that Gu Chao is really wise, and the name of the water system is extremely useful.
But when I got home, I put all the things I bought at the bottom, and on top was the bedding I took out from Luming Space.
"So, they don't know the function of the crystal yet?"
"That's normal. After all, this is a base built by the survivors themselves. They can't communicate with the central government or other bases, so they're completely cut off from information."
But Gu Chao frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
--------------
The next day.
When everyone arrived at the entrance of the Center for Superpowers, they saw that there were already people there, but they were not Chen Weiyang and the others.
The leader was also a young man who looked quite unruly.
Looking back, they saw a team of men who looked at Gu Chao and the others with unfriendly eyes, especially when they saw two children, their faces were full of disdain.
But when they caught a glimpse of Lu Ming, their eyes lit up again.
The young man came over, looked at them with amusement, and then said to Gu Chao, "Are you the new team?"
Gu Chao glanced at him coldly and ignored him.
How dare you ignore him?!
His expression changed, he clenched his fist and was about to hit out, but was stopped by a hand next to him.
The man who came was a handsome young man. He smiled and said, "Brother Feng, why are you so angry so early in the morning? My sister and the others will be here soon. It would be bad if she saw us."
The young man poked his cheek with his tongue and put down his hand. "Okay, for Ah Xing's sake, I won't bother with you this time. But remember to hide away when you see us next time."
Gu Chao didn't even glance at him.
The others watched the show from the sidelines and were not nervous at all.
The young man felt a little embarrassed, and the young man named "Axing" quickly stepped out to smooth things over. He looked at Gu Chao and the others and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Feng has a bad temper, but he's a very kind person. Don't mind it. Did you also accept the task of the pedestrian street?"
Gu Chao still didn't respond.
Seeing the young man scratching his head awkwardly, Lu Ming thought he looked a bit like Yan Wei, a straightforward boy, and couldn't help but reply, "Yeah, you guys are too?"
The young man turned his head and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment, his throat rolling unconsciously, but he quickly recovered and nodded with a smile: "Yes, us too. You should be more careful at that time. There are a lot of zombies in that place."
The young man spoke again, glancing at Lu Ming and the two children sarcastically, "Ha, you're bringing your family along on a mission, you're just playing house. Don't get scared and cry, or you'll hold me back. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the zombie pile!"
Lu Ming glared, "If you're so awesome, why don't you just go as a team? Why are you waiting for someone? I think some of you shouldn't just talk big. Who knows who'll hold you back when the time comes!"
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at her and laughed evilly: "I'm not only good with my mouth, but also with my hands, and even better down there. Do you want to—"
However, before he could finish his words, Gu Chao, whose face suddenly darkened, punched him in the corner of his mouth. Before he could react, his collar was grabbed tightly again.
Gu Chao came closer, looked into his eyes coldly, and spoke like ice: "I don't mind teaching you what to say and what not to say."
He moved very quickly and the young man had no way to dodge. By the time he reacted, he felt a pain in the corner of his mouth. He subconsciously touched his hand and saw a trace of blood.
Anger surged up in him, and he looked up. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the bloodthirstiness in Gu Chao's eyes hit him in the face, making him feel as if he would be beheaded on the spot if he said one more word.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He stopped his brother who wanted to step forward, then pulled Gu Chao's hand away, snorted heavily, and said nothing more.
After all, he was in the wrong, so let them go this time!
Lu Ming raised his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows proudly.
You deserve it! You're so mean!
