After finding Huang Jiaojiao, the person involved, Chu He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. "What is the current output rate of food corresponding to your magic power?"
Her heart skipped a beat, but Huang Jiaojiao remained calm. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Didn't I say before that our government also needs to improve its strength, so I'll charge a small handling fee. It's less than one-tenth, isn't that too much?"
"One tenth?" Chu He's expressionless face, his eyes sharp as if he had seen through the truth, "Are you sure it's only one tenth?!"
"What else? Why would I hide the food?" Huang Jiaojiao showed no guilt at all, and she lied to perfection. Her expression was full of anger at being suspected, and it was very real. "You suspect me? Why would I lie to you? If I wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't have persuaded my father to deal with Wang Hui!"
Chu He stared at her, not missing a single expression on her face, and spoke clearly, "According to the foreign trade price published by the Wu City base, one low-level magic bottle can be exchanged for 200 kilograms of food!"
"So high! How is that possible?" Huang Jiaojiao exclaimed, truly surprised and shocked. The Wu City base actually had high-level wood-type items?!
And that idiot offered such a low price?! 200 pounds? Why the hell didn't he just give it away for free?!
"Where did you hear this news? Could it be a scam?" After being surprised, Huang Jiaojiao frowned, looking unconvinced.
"Once we get back, we'll just have to contact the Wu City base and we'll know for sure." Seeing nothing unusual, and not knowing the skills of Wood Mages, Chu He couldn't be sure. Was it because the difference in strength was too great? Or was it because the Wu City base had two high-level Wood Mages? Or were there other auxiliary types besides Wood Mages farming?
Due to lack of evidence, it is too early to draw conclusions.
However, after seeing his wife and children today, Chu He's resistance grew stronger as he spoke again, "Regarding marriage, I hope you'll reconsider it carefully. There are many ways to cooperate, and marriage isn't necessarily necessary."
Huang Jiaojiao looked embarrassed. "But you know, my father is very suspicious, and he and Uncle Cao used to have some... If we don't get married, my father won't trust you at all, let alone be willing to provide you with food at such a low price. And if we don't cooperate, we can't feed so many people on our own. You know, I had to work hard to make him give up his desire to abandon Xichuan and go to the central base."
"When we get back to the base, the chief and I will talk to him again." Chu He was silent.
If it were just the troops themselves, they could live well even without the municipal government. But if they didn't care, what would happen to the people of Xichuan? I'm afraid half the people in Xichuan would starve to death! Over two million people, that's not just a number, it's human lives!
But now, Chu He has decided in his heart that he must get in touch with Wu City Base without Huang Yuan. If he can reach a trade cooperation with Wu City Base...
"I'm sorry, I can't change Dad's mind." Huang Jiaojiao had guessed his thoughts to some extent and said apologetically, then said frankly and sincerely, "However, if the trade price of the Wu City base you mentioned is true, as long as we can reach a cooperation with them, our Xichuan food crisis can be completely resolved.
I heard that your wife and children are at the Wu City base, right? Don't worry, I will help you delay Dad and buy you some time. Although I did like you before, you also know that I, Huang Jiaojiao, am a proud person and will not be a mistress and break up other people's families!
Unexpectedly, Huang Jiaojiao would say this. Chu He felt increasingly uncertain. After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Thank you."
Because of Huang Jiaojiao's flawless expression and words, Chu He couldn't make out anything and could only leave with a heart full of doubts.
The most urgent task is to get in touch with the Wu City Base, no, to be more precise, to get in touch with the big wood system in the Wu City Base.
I was in such a hurry just now that I forgot to ask about the situation of the wood system. It's too late today and everyone is probably asleep. I'd better go tomorrow so that I can see the children.
The man walked away. Huang Anan left the room and leaned against the door with her arms folded. "Sister, is there also a high-level wood mage in that Wu City base?"
"Nonsense, there must be one!" Huang Jiaojiao's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. She was not naive enough to think that she was unique, but why did it have to be the Wu City base!
No wonder that woman and her two children were able to survive. It turns out they have a large grain producer there! And she's a Wood type with a heart full of compassion!
What a fool! What good will it do to lower the price? If I don't make a lot of money now to improve my strength, I'll have nothing to earn after the planting is fully restored!
Thinking of 200 pounds, Huang Jiaojiao was really angry!
"What if they find out?" Huang Anan was a little worried, and then her face changed sternly. "Sister, let's just go all out and get that old bastard Cao Qiong and Chu He..."
Huang Anan made a sinister gesture of wiping his neck.
Huang Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him. "Killing people is easy, but if you kill them, I'm not sure if the other members of the team will obey you. Let me tell you one thing, An An, are you willing to lead the team to fight the mutant beasts?"
"How is that possible? Only a fool would do something as dangerous as charging into battle!" Huang An'an's face trembled as he recalled something with lingering fear. "Among the mutant beasts, there are those that are faster than me. Killing them is like cutting leeks. It's better to follow behind Chu He and his troops and fish in troubled waters."
"That's it! If you don't want to, then why should I? You know I'm not agile, and the wood monsters are also slow-moving. They're doomed if they meet agile ones! It's even more impossible for Dad to lead the team to kill the mutant beasts. Let them deal with the mutant beasts, and we can sit back and reap the benefits. Isn't that great? Besides, that Fatty Wu in the base next door is not a good guy. Without Chu He and the others in Xichuan, what should we do if Fatty Wu comes to rob us?"
As a food producer and a top-notch beauty, Huang Jiaojiao was particularly worried that someone with real talent would snatch her away. It would be fine if someone was handsome, but if someone short, fat, and ugly like Fatty Wu came, she would be disgusted to death!
So, although she didn't absolutely need Chu He, she had to rely on him now to be taken. Once her attributes were fully developed and her strength was among the best, then men wouldn't matter! She would be the queen, and she would have three thousand male lovers!
"But, if it's discovered later..."
"So what if they know? People have different levels of strength. I say my strength is low and my grain production is low. Who can do anything to me?" Huang Jiaojiao was fearless. She was a mobile granary and no one would touch her unless they were stupid.
"An An, go and kill the entire team at the Wu City base, especially that woman and her two children. Pretend it's like they're killing each other. Then spread the word to the Wu City base that there's been a conflict between them and our Xichuan base. Anyway, it's a feud, and we have to settle it."
"Sister, why?"
"Of course, it's to destroy our relationship with Wu City. If the price of the Wu City base is true, we won't make any money! Do you still want to increase your attributes? Those two little bastards and that bitch must not be allowed to stay!"
Huang Jiaojiao sneered. Rejecting her back then had made her lose so much face, and she wouldn't let them off easily either! Wanting a family reunion? You're dreaming!
"I understand. I'll go now."
"Go ahead and do it neatly."
"Don't worry, assassination is my specialty."
