The two people asking the questions were young men, one of whom looked somewhat thin and the other was dark-skinned and muscular but older.
The two look somewhat alike, so they must be brothers or relatives.
"Yes, barter. We're here to sell the items we brought and exchange them for some Qionglin delicacies to take back. To avoid the hassle of buying and selling, we plan to barter directly. Each item is marked with the level of Qionglin delicacies it's exchanged for. After you've looked at them, you can go home first and come back with the items you can exchange. Don't worry, we have plenty of goods."
Upon hearing her say that, the thin young man immediately took out several mushrooms larger than his palm from the pocket on his side and handed them to Lin Qianqian.
"Hello, miss."
The way she addressed her sounded a little awkward, so Lin Qianqian immediately said, "My surname is Lin, and I'm the owner of this mall."
"Hello, Mr. Lin. My name is Mu Xun, and this is my older brother, Mu Hang. Can we use this to exchange for that ship with the serial number 0077?"
Lin Qianqian took the few mushrooms that smelled of braised pork and scanned them in the cash register's scanning window.
The cash register screen displays: Qionglin Dimension Specialty Food, Level 23 Braised Pork Mushroom, a shiitake mushroom with the flavor of braised pork, which is a variant of the pork mushroom.
After reviewing the scanned information, he took out the Qionglin Treasure Book and "beeped" at the mushroom.
The encyclopedia automatically opened and announced: "Discovered Qionglin delicacy: Pork Mushroom, Level 20. A shiitake mushroom with a meaty flavor, excellent taste and rich nutrition."
The description is short, but it differs somewhat from the information scanned by the mall's amazing cash register.
So he looked up and asked the young man in front of him, "Where did you get this? It doesn't look like a pork mushroom."
The young man hurriedly explained, "I grew these myself. They're different from regular pork mushrooms. They're a special braised pork mushroom that I cultivated. The taste and texture are much better than regular pork mushrooms. The Food Alliance's appraisal level is 23, which surpasses that of regular pork mushrooms."
Then he handed the alliance certificate that he had prepared beforehand to Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian took it and glanced at it, but she couldn't really see anything special about it.
I can't tell if it's real or fake, and I don't know what the certificate is for.
However, he was thinking to himself, "Does the Lu family never update the information in this precious book?"
He returned the certificate to Mu Xun: "I remember the price of ship number 0077 in our store is several Qionglin creatures of level 40 or above. Your level 23 can't get my ship, can it?"
"I don't have level 40 Qionglin Cuisine, but my family cultivates braised pork mushrooms on 20 acres of land. I've sold some, and there are still about 16,000 jin (7,000 kg) of mature mushrooms left to harvest in the greenhouse. I wonder if this quantity can make up for the lack of level? Is it enough to exchange for that ship?"
He was very nervous after he finished speaking, and the certificate in his hand was crumpled in his hand.
Thinking that might not be enough, they added, "My brothers and I have some savings. Since you don't accept Alliance Coins, I can use the money to exchange for Qionglin Delicacies."
There were only two people in his family, him and his brother. They used to be very poor and relied on his brother's odd jobs to make a living.
Life was barely getting by. The two brothers practiced the basic cultivation method publicly available by the alliance.
His older brother had good cultivation talent and had already reached the third level, but because he didn't have any more advanced cultivation techniques, he was stuck at the third level.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is how my life will be.
His aptitude for cultivation is lacking, but he has a talent for nurturing gourmet creatures.
Two years ago, his brother joined a gourmet hunting team.
Unfortunately, the hunting team encountered a group of level 51 Bomb Shrimp at sea and was almost completely wiped out. Only his brother and two other people jumped into a lifeboat and escaped.
Fortunately, after they escaped to safety, several Exploding Shrimp that had been killed in the fight floated by and were picked up by the three of them.
Although dead shrimp are not as expensive as live shrimp, they are still considered a mid-level Qionglin delicacy at level 51, and are quite popular in the market with a good price.
After selling them, the three of them split the money from the shrimp sales.
With this money, plus what I borrowed from friends, I bought twenty acres of land.
Then he devoted himself entirely to cultivating and growing gourmet creatures.
He hoped to earn money to help his brother buy more advanced cultivation techniques.
Or buy a ship so that your brother can organize his own team to go out to sea to hunt high-level Qionglin delicacies and exchange them for higher-level cultivation techniques from the alliance.
The braised pork mushroom was successfully cultivated last year, but level 23 is not a very high level. It's not even considered intermediate; it's just a high-grade low-level mushroom, a common ingredient.
After selling the braised pork and mushrooms last year, I paid off my loan and even saved a small amount of money.
Even buying boats and martial arts techniques is far from enough.
Ships are produced in small quantities on the Qionglin Continent, and are sold at high prices, not to mention cultivation techniques...
His brother has been working at the docks for the past two days. Yesterday, he heard that the big ship came from the Misty Zone and brought all sorts of magical items to sell.
His brother even came to see the notice posted on the ship, and then ran back to discuss it with him for a long time.
The two brothers decided to try their luck and arrived in the middle of the night to queue up.
They had a clear goal and weren't interested in what they used or wore; they went straight to the transportation area and the cultivation method area.
Actually, the two brothers went to look at the cultivation techniques first, but the lowest level techniques could only be obtained by exchanging Qionglin delicacies for those who were level 60 or above.
Although the kind but powerful uncle said that even the lowest-level cultivation techniques in the mall were better than their intermediate-level ones, the two brothers were simply too poor to afford them, even if they went bankrupt.
They could only go downstairs to see the boats. This time, the two brothers took a liking to a 20-meter steel boat from the catalog.
I asked the robot again, and after hearing the detailed introduction, I felt it was a good fit, but I needed to be level 40 or higher to exchange for a certain amount of Qionglin delicacies.
Although this price for a boat of this class is already much cheaper than the fishing boats sold by large companies on the mainland.
And it has good performance, but they still can't afford it.
Smaller boats can't go far for exploration or hunting.
The two brothers were very frustrated, and they were almost out of the mall. The younger brother, Mu Xun, was unwilling to give up, so he mustered up his courage and turned back to ask Lin Qianqian.
He didn't dare say he wanted to change his cultivation method, he only said he wanted to change his boat.
Lin Qianqian admired this courage. According to what she had learned in the past few days, only a very few people could cultivate the mutated Qionglin delicacies.
Unfortunately, this meat mushroom is not of high grade and is not considered very precious in this world where delicious food is everywhere.
However, for cultivators in the Yan Kingdom, it is very useful and suitable for beginners or those who have just started cultivating, and its value is far greater than that of a ship.
"After this batch of braised pork mushrooms is harvested, when will the next batch mature? What will the yield be?"
Although Mu Xun was puzzled as to why Boss Lin asked this, he didn't dare to delay and answered immediately.
"There are two harvests a year. If it's too cold or too hot, the crops won't ripen. The next batch will ripen in four months, before winter arrives. The total yield will be at least 20,000 jin."
"More than 20,000 jin!" Lin Qianqian thought to herself.
"You're the first customer to buy today, so I'll give you a discount. If all the braised pork and mushrooms you have at home are of this quality, I'll agree to let you exchange them for ship number 0077."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I guarantee that they will all be at this level."
