Master Huang carefully examined the Earth-grade spiritual artifact on the table, then replied with a smile, "Miss Su, as you know..."
Compared to a few decades ago, the value of these spiritual weapons today is not as high. After all, a large number of monks have died or mutated.
Even if I had this thing, it wouldn't be easy to get rid of it, you understand what I mean?
Su Yunying naturally understood Huang Yuanwai's unspoken meaning: he wanted to lower the price.
But she had no choice but to slow down her tone: "Mr. Huang, we have been friends for many years. The people under my command need rice to fill their stomachs. I hope you won't bargain too hard."
Huang Yuanwai smiled and replied, "Miss Su, what are you talking about? When have I ever wronged you? It's just that there is a better way, don't you really want to consider it?"
Su Yunying shook her head: "No need to say anything, I would never do that. Just tell me, how much grain can this knife be exchanged for?"
Mr. Huang held up five fingers and said, "I can only give you this much rice and flour. I can't give you more."
"Five hundred jin?"
Su Yunying considered it over in her mind.
Five hundred catties of rice and flour, if saved and eaten every two days, would be enough to feed about two hundred people in the mountain village all the way to Qianxia Peak.
Thinking of this, she could only agree: "Okay, then 500 kilograms."
"No, you've got it wrong, Miss Su. It's not 500 jin, I can only give you 50 jin."
"Fifty kilograms?" Su Yunying slammed her hands on the table. "Boss Huang, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Yuanwai smiled and said, "Miss Su, don't get excited. It's getting harder and harder to get rice on the black market.
Let alone a low-grade spiritual artifact like yours, even a high-grade spiritual artifact wouldn't be worth more than a few hundred kilograms of grain.
Moreover, in order to get these resources, which one do I have to take care of?
Just a few days ago, we missed the moon-covering point while transporting grain, and more than a dozen of my men were all covered by the blood moon and turned into monsters.
These losses are still money. Don't be fooled by how well I seem to be doing; you just haven't seen the hardships I've endured.
Su Yunying: "Boss Huang, I know everyone is struggling, but fewer and fewer people are surviving these days."
"Considering we're all from the same clan, could you possibly make an exception?"
“Miss Su, I have pointed out the right path for you more than once.”
Master Huang earnestly advised him.
"With your looks and figure, you are absolutely incomparable to those ordinary women."
As long as you agree, I will find you a better person immediately. Then, don't even mention thousands of kilograms of rice and grain.
Even tens of thousands of kilograms wouldn't be a problem, why don't you consider that?
Su Yunying shook her head: "I won't do that, Mr. Huang, thank you for your kindness, I will find another way."
After saying that, she grabbed the spirit knife on the table, turned around and pulled Shen Zhao away.
"Miss Su."
Mr. Huang called her.
"You have to think clearly. In the entire black market, you can't find any other rice except me.
"You're leaving through this door today; you don't need to come back again."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying bit her lower lip and slowly retracted the half-stepped leg.
Mr. Huang continued, "Miss Su, just listen to my advice. Things are not like before. Chastity is worthless.
Practice makes perfect. You'll get used to it, and nobody will look down on you. If you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you at least think about the hundreds of mouths you employ?
As he spoke, he walked over to Su Yunying and said, "You went through so much trouble to save so many people..."
Do you want to just watch them starve to death? Sooner or later, women have to take that step.
Why are you so insistent?
Shen Zhao noticed that Su Yunying gripped his hand tighter and her body trembled slightly.
Looking at her face again, her eyes were red and swollen, which made his heart ache.
Master Huang continued to persuade her: "Miss Su, think it over carefully. While those big patrons are still interested in beautiful women..."
Sell it to yourself at a good price, but when people get tired of it later, you won’t be able to find the land even if you want to sell it. Don’t you think this is the truth?
Just listen to me this time. I have a customer tonight. If you stay and serve him for one night, I will prepare 2,000 kilograms of rice and flour for you tomorrow morning. What do you say..."
The next second, Master Huang's voice came to an abrupt end.
Shen Zhao grabbed his neck, which had no neck, and then raised his hand.
Just like that, the fat pig's feet were lifted off the ground.
"You have the guts to repeat what you just said to me again, selling it? I want to see how much this fat pig of yours can be sold for!"
In just a moment, Mr. Huang's face turned purple and he looked at the cold face in front of him in disbelief.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Su Yunying quickly stopped him.
“He can’t die. If he dies, none of the people in the neighborhood will be able to survive.”
Shen Zhao: "What does it matter to me if they can't survive? This fat pig wants to drag you into a pit of fire, I absolutely cannot let him live!"
After saying that, he increased the pressure on his hand.
In an instant, Mr. Huang's eyes rolled back and he was about to die.
"He really can't die!"
Su Yunying grabbed Shen Zhao's hand and shook her head repeatedly.
"I am just like you. I want to kill him with one blow, but I really can't do that. If I do that, we will no longer have food.
There are fewer and fewer living people in this world. We really, really can't let anyone lose hope because they can't find a way to survive.
Shen Zhao was stunned: "This inhuman thing deserves to be called hope?"
Su Yunying nodded: "This is everyone's last resort. If he dies and it affects other black markets, where will we find food?"
