The drop rate of [Profession (Advanced)] is really low. Although there are many Chosen Ones in Chu He's entire army, there are only less than 10 Chosen Ones with professions.
He is the only one with a high-level profession, and there are two with a mid-level profession. Although there is one wood mage, he is a low-level one and has no farming skills.
Although they knew that in addition to the reserve grain that had been hidden by the municipal government earlier, a lot of food was grown by Huang Jiaojiao, a high-level wood mage, they really didn't know the specific grain production rate.
As for the magic power exchange for food, the Huang family frankly admitted that they would make a small profit from the difference, which they would use to acquire other items to improve their strength. However, they stated that the difference was less than one-tenth.
He thought it shouldn't be much. After all, compared to when Wang Hui was in power, the price of grain had improved many times.
But after hearing what Lin Xiaoman said, Chu He couldn't help but doubt the "difference".
Looking at his expression, it’s confirmed that Lin Xiaoman was the one being taken advantage of!
"Are all of you guys at Xichuan Base idiots?" Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but start mocking them. "Don't you even know how to communicate with the outside world? You're so self-contained and closed-door, no wonder you're still struggling to make ends meet."
"What do you mean?" Chu He's eyes darkened. Their unit was only responsible for hunting mutant beasts, making items, and finding food. The internal affairs of the Xichuan base, including external liaisons, were all managed by the municipal government, Huang Jiaojiao's father, Huang Yuan.
"The foreign trade prices for grain published by our Wu City base are more cost-effective than your internal prices. One bottle of low-magic can be exchanged for at least 200 kilograms of crops. If it is a difficult base with a small number of Chosen Ones and a large population, the Wu City base will appropriately increase the transaction amount and provide certain assistance."
"200 pounds?" Chu He couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes darkening as he hid the storm in his eyes. "Really?"
"You can ask the surrounding Linjiang Base, Peishi Base, Xianghe Base, Shengzhong Base... Wushi Base and more than a dozen surrounding bases have established long-term grain trade cooperation, and the prices are more than double what you can get."
Lin Xiaoman explained it so clearly, Chu He naturally understood that they were being taken advantage of!
"I... understand!" Chu He's voice was extremely low. He suppressed the anger in his heart and his face was gloomy.
Their troops fought bravely outside, but the result was... Ha!
Knowing that their troops had been badly betrayed, Chu He's face darkened, revealing a low pressure of impending storm. He said, "Thank you for telling me this," and left in a hurry.
From the look on his face, one could tell that he was going to bring an army to demand an explanation.
Watching him leave, Lin Xiaoman was satisfied and hummed happily in her heart, Yo yo, check it out!
There's going to be a falling out! We must applaud!
Although the original owner is not coming back, we can’t let that dead woman Huang Jiaojiao get away with it!
A powerful alliance turns into enmity, hehe.
Lin Xiaoman happily called Wang Cuiqing back to accompany the two children to sleep. He looked around but did not see Hao Qiong.
Using his Qinggong skills, Lin Xiaoman leaped onto the sentry post and asked Liu Gudao, who was on night watch, "Brother Liu, have you seen Hao Qiong?"
"He just said he had something to go out for, and then he left."
"Didn't he say what he was going to do?" Lin Xiaoman frowned. She didn't want to stay here anymore. She had originally wanted to talk to Hao Qiong about how to kill the monsters at the port and leave as soon as possible. But he had disappeared without a trace!
Liu Gudao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. "He didn't say that. He seemed to be in a hurry."
"I understand, Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work tonight."
"fine."
Unable to find anyone, she looked into the distance but didn't see any mutant beasts approaching. Lin Xiaoman yawned, returned to the RV, and laid the driver's seat flat. She wanted to lie down and take a nap to get enough rest to fight monsters tomorrow.
…
In Xichuan Base, in a room of a dilapidated building within the base area surrounded by a group of cars, Huang Jiaojiao, wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, with her hair tied up high, and a black tight outfit, looks extremely dashing.
"An An, he just finished the meeting and went to see that woman and child in a hurry again?" Huang Jiaojiao's eyes were full of anger, her face was gloomy, and her voice was a little sharp.
"Yes, they both got into the RV together. Sister, do you think they won't rekindle their old love?" Huang Anan said.
"Hmph!" Huang Jiaojiao snorted coldly, "Chu He is a stubborn person. Although he is reluctant, since he has agreed to divorce her clearly, there will be no further ties. However, his two children are indeed a problem. With his personality, he will not leave them alone. He might even take them back to Xichuan Base. Those two little bastards are annoying just by looking at them."
"If I make them disappear, I won't be so upset." Huang Anan said casually with a chuckle, as if it was as easy as crushing two little ants.
"Have you found out what's going on with that woman? How did she suddenly appear here from the Wu City base?"
"The information we received from the Wu City base was that they were having a miserable time," Huang Anan replied. "I guess it's because Chu He contacted the Wu City base, and their leader was thinking of sending them here in exchange for props. They probably just happened to get here and saw so many people, so they came over."
"Have you figured out their strength?"
"What strength can the old, weak, women and children have? Sister, don't worry about them. They don't look very strong. The reason they can walk here safely is probably because they are lucky and didn't encounter any dangerous monsters." Huang Anan had a contemptuous expression and didn't take the group of people seriously at all.
"Once we get here, we won't be so lucky!" Huang Jiaojiao had a gloomy face and a cruel sneer in her eyes.
To this day, she has long come to terms with the fact that love is nonsense and that strength is what matters most, but she just can't swallow the anger she felt back then.
Chu He actually rejected her back then and would rather choose to marry such an ordinary woman!
How is she worse than Liu Ying?
Haha, she is now a high-level wood mage, and the entire army has to flatter her and rely on her for food. Who the hell is that woman!
Just as he was thinking, should he show off his power or just kill the man, a loud voice came from outside, "Minister Huang? Where are you?"
Huang Jiaojiao made a silent gesture to Huang Anan, opened the door and walked to the balcony, and responded, "Here, what's wrong?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Huang Jiaojiao saw the man who was shouting, and Chu He beside him.
"The chief is looking for you!"
The person who was shouting responded, Chu He waved at him, and in a few leaps he jumped to the floor where Huang Jiaojiao was.
At a distance, Chu He was completely shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.
Huang Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched, and she instinctively sensed something was wrong.
