Chapter 256 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Especially when I saw one of the pieces was said to be snake skin, it was wide enough to easily wrap an adult completely and still have room to spare.
Just imagining the size of the original owner of this snake skin, the new emperor's hair stood on end.
The new emperor couldn't help but ask, "Where do these skins come from?"
Could it be that the beasts that attacked Yunlu Village before were all such monsters?
But why have I never heard Lu Xuan mention it before?
Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "It's a creature from the fairyland."
The ministers' expressions changed slightly, and their eyes became solemn.
They were quite yearning for the fairyland because of the endless useful treasures that Lu Xuan brought out, but if the fairyland was full of such dangerous creatures... ordinary people would not be able to stay there at all, it was too dangerous.
Rabbits are bigger than tigers, so you can eat them one at a time, right?
The ministers, who had accidentally over-imagined things, were startled and quickly shook their heads, their eyes drifting back to the furs displayed in the store.
Having said that, although the size of these furs looks scary, a closer look will reveal that the quality is excellent.
Under the soft light indoors, every piece of fur is shining and exudes a silky luster.
Not to mention the size, the quality alone was far superior to the fur of any animal they had ever seen.
After Lu Xuan mentioned the superiority of clothes made of these furs in terms of defense and keeping warm, the eyes of the dignitaries headed by the new emperor became even more scorching.
"What a great stuff!" someone exclaimed involuntarily.
As expected of a thing from the fairyland, it looks very dangerous despite its size, but at the same time, it is also very useful.
"Marquis Yunxian, how do you plan to sell these furs?" a nobleman asked impatiently. "Will you trade them for mutant food or seafood? Will you accept gold, silver, or jewelry?"
Another marquis said directly: "No matter what the price is, just name it, I want them all!"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately frowned in displeasure. "You want everything, Marquis Chengyang? Don't be so greedy."
"The emperor hasn't spoken yet, so it's not your turn to buy everything."
"You're talking as if you're the only one who can afford the price. Don't you think we're serious?"
"Alright!" Seeing that their words were getting more and more outrageous, the new emperor frowned and said, "Shut up, everyone! What are you doing?"
The nobles who were a little proud of what he said paused and shut their mouths awkwardly.
The new emperor looked at them and snorted coldly, then turned to ask Lu Xuan, "What materials do you plan to exchange for these furs?"
The people behind couldn't help but purse their lips as if trying to suppress laughter, but no one dared to actually laugh.
Lu Xuan remained calm, "Prioritize mutated food in exchange, and double the amount for seafood. Only extremely rare and high-quality gold, silver, and jewelry will be accepted."
Weiyuan Hou asked, "How much food do you need?"
Lu Xuan pointed to a nearby third-level mutant rabbit skin and said, "One skin like this is equivalent to one thousand kilograms of mutant staple food. For the rest, use the rabbit skin as a reference and increase the amount proportionally."
For example, the size of one and a half rabbit skins is 1,500 kilograms, and the size of two rabbit skins is 2,000 kilograms.
Everyone was surprised.
The skins of different species are actually of similar value?
You should know that even if dozens of ordinary rabbit skins are put together to reach the same volume as a tiger skin, the actual value is far less.
How could they know that what Lu Xuan took out were actually only level three furs.
Although it is large in size, it is not as dangerous as they imagined.
Moreover, the danger level of individual mutant beasts of the same level, whether they are mutant rabbits or mutant wolves, is not much different.
However, the latter are social animals and their habits have not changed after mutation. If dozens of level three mutant wolves appear at once, the danger will increase sharply.
But it didn't matter to Lu Xuan, so he just priced it according to volume.
After confirming that the price was correct, everyone immediately looked at the new emperor with high spirits.
The new emperor's eyes moved.
These furs are indeed both practical and beautiful, but these functional biological clothes can actually do the same and are more cost-effective.
It would take over a thousand kilograms of supplies to buy a piece of leather. If they were really things from the fairyland, they would not be expensive at all, and could even be considered cheap in peacetime.
But during the disaster period, especially after they had just lost a lot of food, it was a bit too extravagant to spend so much money on a non-essential item.
As the emperor of a country, he must set a good example.
Therefore, the new emperor suppressed the idea of taking all of them and only ordered three skins, namely black fox skin, snow mink skin, and giant deer skin.
They are both rare and beautiful, and are also varieties commonly used by the royal family.
There were three pieces of leather, just enough for the emperor, empress, and crown prince, one each.
The new emperor was chosen, and it was finally the turn of other ministers and nobles.
Although the ministers wanted to collect as many skins as possible, they were restrained in front of the new emperor and did not dare to buy more than the new emperor. Basically, everyone bought three skins according to the new emperor's example.
When selecting, one must avoid the furs that have been selected by the new emperor to ensure the unique status of the royal family.
Even if you choose fox fur or deerskin, choose the ones with less pure fur color and pattern.
The rarer the skin, the more people will fight for it.
If two or three people are interested in a piece of leather, they will inevitably exchange witty remarks and sarcastic remarks with each other.
[Pfft, I wonder what these people's expressions would be if they knew that this was just the lowest level in the streamer's hands.]
[Level doesn't really matter; they primarily focus on quality and warmth. Honestly, a level 3 leather costs a thousand kilograms of grain. The streamer is being unscrupulous again.]
"How can you say that! How can you call something that we both agreed on be considered heartless?"
[That’s right! They don’t have to buy it if they think it’s too expensive!]
Look how happy they are grabbing the prizes. They are laughing like children.
[Level 3 leather is so profitable, why doesn't the streamer bring out some level 4 or even level 5 leather? Wouldn't it be even better to make 10,000 to 18,000 kilograms of grain from each one?]
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Do you think I don't want to?"
Even if a high-level mutant beast dies, the pressure left on its fur will linger for a long time.
For people whose levels are too different, wearing these high-level mutant animal skins is equivalent to being under the pressure of powerful mutant beasts all the time.
That was not a good experience.
Ordinary people cannot feel the pressure of mutant beasts or superpowers, but those above level five will feel breathless even if they cannot feel it, and it will also cause discomfort over time.
Level three is just the right level for both ordinary people and those with special abilities who are currently only at the first or second level on average.
As for the psychics in Yunlu Village who had reached level three, Lu Xuan gave them some level four skins.
He only placed a few level five furs in the training room for them to use for stress training when he was not around.
The ministers carried all their belongings with them. After spending some time to determine the ownership of all the skins, they handed over the corresponding supplies on the spot.
Ye Feiluan, Chen Bing and others were not as important as other ministers, so they did not join in the fight. They just wanted to go back and trade with Lu Xuan privately.
He must have some in stock anyway.
Weiyuan Hou picked out skins of wild animals, including tiger, bear, and leopard skins. He was in a very good mood. After paying the bill, he asked Lu Xuan with a feeling of unsatisfied satisfaction, "Besides furs, do you have any other goodies?"
Lu Xuan nodded: "Yes."
Weiyuan Hou's eyelids twitched, and he was shocked. Is it true? He was just asking casually.
The others also glanced over slightly.
Lu Xuan said: "But what follows is not applicable to everyone."
This aroused the interest of the crowd even more.
Not for everyone?
Do things pick on people?
Lu Xuan glanced at the new emperor and turned his palm over. Several seeds of different sizes and colors appeared in his originally empty palm.
"Even if you haven't seen the vampire vines I've contracted, you've probably heard of them. These are the seeds of a newly cultivated mutant plant. Once a Wood-type mutant contracts with them and stimulates them to grow, they can be transformed into their own combat power."
Lu Xuan said it lightly, but the meaning contained in it was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone.
They had naturally heard of the power of the vampire vine, and some had even seen it with their own eyes. The ministers also knew that Lu Xuan's position as the Crown Prince's Tutor was obtained after he helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to contract the small vampire vine.
But they are not the crown prince, who has a good father who can plan for him, and they dare not imagine that wood-type mutants can also obtain such abilities.
Now, I couldn’t even imagine it, but it’s now possible! ?
Chen Bing, who had been quietly following behind the new emperor since his appearance, couldn't help but ask, "Will these mutant plants be as powerful as the vampire vines when they grow?"
Although he is not a wood-type mutant, Miao An is!
After the evolutionary fluids they obtained in Yangshan were distributed, one person awakened the wood element, and they had a need for it!
It's not just Yangshan. Although there are no wood-type mutants among the people present, there are still one or two, or as many as three or four wood-type mutants in the town where they are located.
Everyone has needs.
Lu Xuan glanced at Chen Bing and said, "Of course it can't be compared with the vampire vine."
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but complain. Some contracts are just for show. Some people want to be as strong as the vampire vine and want to eat it!
Lu Xuan played with the seeds in his hand and said, "These are low-level seeds cultivated from mutant plants that can reach a maximum of level five or above. They are only level two or three, and will be upgraded according to the strength of the psychic themselves."
"Without a special adventure, the supernatural beings in this world may not be able to reach the fifth level in their lifetime."
In other words, mutants with a maximum level of five are sufficient.
Don’t even think about level seven vampire vines.
Chen Bing felt a little regretful after hearing Lu Xuan's implied meaning, but he had originally asked just to give it a try, so he wasn't particularly disappointed.
After adjusting his mentality, he still looked at the seeds in Lu Xuan's hand with eager eyes.
"What varieties are these seeds and how do I exchange them?"
Lu Xuan said, "I will introduce the varieties and abilities one by one later. All seeds are priced at one thousand kilograms of mutant grain. Those who want them can bid on their own."
When these seeds were first brought back, they went into a dormant period. Later, he continued to input wood-type abilities every day to revitalize some of the varieties.
Even so, the number of low-grade varieties successfully bred is not large.
Although the total number of wood-type mutants, including those in Yunlu Village, does not exceed thirty so far, there is no guarantee that more than one person may be interested in the same kind of seeds.
Lu Xuan had several kinds of seeds in his hand, but he only had one for the time being, so he couldn't give one to each of them.
The treasures that improve combat effectiveness and the furs have different interests, so we can't expect them to be humble.
The best way is to let the highest bidder win, and he can also earn some extra 'sales fees' and 'cultivation fees'.
Lu Xuan said, "Since the wood-type psychics are not present, I plan to hold this seed auction on the cruise ship this afternoon. Your Majesty and everyone else can notify the wood-type psychics who are interested to come and participate as soon as possible."
After saying this, he looked at Huo Tiankuo who was standing beside the new emperor and took out a few small bottles of mutant beast blood. "These are the blood of some powerful beasts. If Zhou Qing needs it, General Huo can ask him to come over."
Huo Tiankuo perked up and looked at the bottles of beast blood with joy.
The audience in the live broadcast room were jealous.
[Zhou Qing is really getting the upper hand! Wood-type psychics have to compete with others to get the seeds they want, but there's no one else among the beast-type psychics except the host!]
As long as he can afford the supplies, no one can snatch any beast blood he wants!
The other people present also thought of this and couldn't help but feel envious, but there was nothing they could do if they didn't have the ability to do so.
Instead of thinking about these trivial things, you might as well notify the people who need to be notified.
While waiting, I happened to complete a new batch of large transactions with Lu Xuan.
In addition to the fixed necessities, each gathering place has greatly increased the demand for kayaks, life jackets, diving suits, fishing rods and other supplies needed for life at sea, and they are purchased in large quantities.
By the time they finished the transaction, it was almost noon.
The group moved to the restaurant and had a sumptuous and delicious seafood dinner.
Afterwards, Lu Xuan asked them to take a half-hour lunch break in an empty guest room on the cruise ship. After all the wood-type mutants had arrived on hoverboards or through other means, including those from Yunlu Village, they all moved to the cinema that served as a temporary auction venue and prepared to start the auction of mutant seeds.
