Su Yuan glanced at the items the beast girls outside wanted to trade. They were mostly common items: animal hides, animal bones, and some colorful wild fruits.
So he pretended to rummage through his pants and pulled out a small bag.
"Is this salt... saltstone powder enough?"
The animal skin bag was opened, and the snow-white salt inside made Qinglei's expression freeze. Somewhat surprised, she picked out a small piece and tasted it. The saltiness burst in her mouth, making her wag her tail involuntarily.
“These saltstone powders are of very high quality, and there is far too much of them. As for the materials to be handed over to the settlement, we don’t need this much.”
Su Yuan shook his head. There was nothing he could do; this was the system's unit price. If it were any lower, the system wouldn't even give him a bag. He didn't want to have to pull a handful of salt out of his pants.
"The rest is for you, and you can help me see what we can trade for the rest. We've just arrived in Cangye Plains and aren't quite familiar with the trading rules here."
"For me?"
Qinglei was somewhat taken aback, but then excitedly wagged her tail again. This bag of salted stone powder was enough to last her for several days, even if she only grabbed a small handful.
Perhaps only witches and the like can taste it.
"Then let's come in quickly. What do you need? The items traded in each area here are different. Oh, by the way, I heard that Chief Tearfox is planning to hold something called... something like an auction."
"An auction...?"
Su Yuan paused, his lips twitching slightly. Wait, did I transmigrate to the primitive society? How come auctions from fantasy and urban novels are appearing here?
If it weren't for the fact that the settlement's development seemed quite ordinary, he would have almost suspected that the Tear Fox leader was also a time traveler like himself.
"Yes, I heard that a divinely gifted person from a very, very far place traded some food with the Tear Fox leader using something called a divine hymn or a divine oracle box."
"This auction is what Chief Tear Fox heard in that box."
"......"
It seems that a recorder containing audiobooks was delivered to this Tearful Fox leader, just like the bloodline possession technique that the Sea King learned before.
However, he was also a little curious about how the auction that the Tear Fox leader had heard about would proceed in the current state of the Tear Lake trading community, as they lacked many of the necessary conditions for an auction.
When was that auction?
"Tomorrow morning, it seems to be at the residence of the Tear Fox leader, and we'll have to verify... verify our credentials. The Tear Fox leader said that only those who meet the requirements can participate in the auction."
Now he was certain that Tearful Fox had figured out these things after listening to a certain novel, and judging from the lines, it was an urban novel.
"Then I'll trouble Qinglei to take us to see it again tomorrow. As for the verification of funds, don't worry about it."
Putting the auction aside for the time being, Su Yuan and his two companions entered the settlement under Qing Lei's guidance. There were many people inside, but most of them were in tents made of animal hides.
The environment inside wasn't much better than outside. Some of the beast girls simply had a few strips of cloth tied around their bodies and sat there casually with some goods in front of them.
"This place is divided into several areas. This area is for ordinary goods, usually for trading food and animal hides. That area is for trading weapons and armor."
"And there's another place where you trade items that witches need. Things there are more expensive, and there are also some items that can turn people into awakened warriors."
