It is called Warehouse No. 1, but in fact it is just an independent small ice storage divided from a large ice storage.
As soon as Zhang Mu and Long Qi walked in, they were stunned by the number of staff members wearing thick cotton coats and gloves cutting mutant beast meat. They were standing in neat rows.
"Sure, this was originally an ice storage. I think the assembly line is very mature and the division of labor is very clear."
Zhang Mu and Long Qi stopped at the handrail on the stairs, with a clear view of the situation below. The mutant beast corpses were being divided up on this assembly line, the meat was cut into pieces, and the animal cores were being picked out, one part at a time.
"Yes, this is an underground ice storage we found when we were looking for available resources. However, as you said before, its high-power refrigeration system has lost its original function after the end of the world, just like the others. When we found it, the ice inside had just begun to melt. Fortunately, we quickly took over and used the ice evolver to freeze the ice storage again, thus preserving the large amount of frozen pork originally stored here."
At this point, Long Qi rolled his eyes at Zhang Mu and said, "Otherwise, where can we find so much food to feed these tens of thousands of people in Shanxi City, which is full of zombies? We have to rely on this ice storage to support them. However, the amount consumed every day is too large. The edible resources collected from the entire Shanxi City are just a drop in the bucket. This is why I want to take over Jinzhong City. If we delay any longer, we will really run out of food and ammunition."
"I was wondering why you were so anxious to capture Jinzhong City. I thought it was all for the future of mankind. You are hiding it too well. Is it possible that except for your soldiers, none of the people under you know the true situation of the cold storage?
Of course, being the leader of a gathering place is really hard, especially when one is responsible for the people under him. "
Just as Zhang Mu was sighing, Long Qi said to one of the soldiers who had put down his work, "Give me the final statistical results."
"Yes, Chief!"
The soldier, wrapped in a large cotton coat, saluted Long Qi clumsily and handed him an A4-sized draft paper.
Long Qi took it and looked at the details listed online with Zhang Mu.
Wow, with this amount and this kind of money, Zhang Mu felt that this business was going to be a fortune.
Long Qi was still unclear about the value of this batch of beast cores, so he just glanced at it casually and didn’t feel anything.
But in Zhang Mu's heart, the numbers clearly written on the paper stirred up a storm.
There are three hundred and seven first-level fire beast cores, two hundred and seventy first-level water beast cores, two hundred and thirty-one first-level earth beast cores, and one hundred and seventy-nine first-level metal beast cores.
These four basic five-element beast cores indeed accounted for the largest number, more than half of the entire batch of beast cores, but Zhang Mu mainly focused his attention on the rare beast cores below.
Because this batch is what he values the most. The rarer it is, the more precious it is. This principle is eternal. Not only can these rare beast cores be stockpiled so that they can be sold to human evolvers in the future, but when the rights of primary era agents are opened, era merchants will also purchase beast cores with rare attributes of this kind. They are likely to offer high prices, and the chips are more attractive than selling them to humans, that is, gold leaves.
Zhang Mu began to get excited, and then he slowly swept his eyes downwards, his heart beating violently.
Ice beast cores, seventeen pieces!
Wind beast cores, thirty-nine pieces!
The rest are the beast cores of the lowest grade mutant beasts without attributes, there are about 800 of them, but this type of beast core has no function except to replenish energy. It is useless to humans and mutant beasts generally disdain it, but it can still be used as a dessert after a meal when you are hungry.
"According to the previous transaction, these beast cores are all yours." Seeing Zhang Mu was absorbed in watching, Long Qi said, "How about picking some, and put the rest in this ice storage. When you need them, come back to me and I will definitely keep them for you."
In fact, Long Qi felt that he had let Zhang Mu down a little bit, because there was not a single spiritual mutant beast among the two thousand mutant beasts, which was enough to show how precious they were, and Zhang Mu gave him eight soul crystals.
Now all he got were some beast cores that looked like ordinary attributes, and half of them had no attributes. He felt a little ashamed, but he said he had counted all the beast cores, and he couldn't blame his staff, even Long Qi.
The quality of the beast core can simply be seen from the purity of the energy.
This world has not yet unified many professional terms, because there have not been a large number of Epoch agent merchants, and they have not conducted large-scale transactions with the leaders of the gathering places. Now they generally focus on completing tasks, because the cost of unfinished tasks is too high, and novices are directly scared away.
However, when they are promoted to junior agent merchants, they will understand this situation. Those who are not strong enough will gradually become experienced and drag on until the last moment to complete the mission of the Epoch Merchant. The rest of the time they will be living a life of debauchery, because in the end there is no guarantee of stable profits. The situation where the harder they work, the more losses they suffer is too common. After seeing more, they will not be so blindly active.
Zhang Mu felt that it was okay to expose the Epoch Merchant Ring. He would definitely not break the connection with Long Qishan Xicheng in the future anyway. Since his identity as an Epoch Agent Merchant would be exposed sooner or later, he might as well use the Epoch Merchant Ring openly now. At worst, he would just not explain when Long Qi asked about it.
But just when Zhang Mu was about to tell Long Qi that he was ready to collect all the beast cores, the soldier who had just stood next to him suddenly hesitated, but still whispered, "Chief, we actually found a very special beast core today, but we can't determine its attributes, and we feel that it can't be a beast core without attributes, so we didn't mark it in this record. We want to wait for you to come before making a decision?"
"An unknown beast core? Even you can't tell its attributes?"
Before Long Qi could say anything, Zhang Mu became interested and said with his eyes shining, "Brother, bring it over so I can see what it looks like. It's quite interesting."
The soldier looked at Long Qi with a soliciting look, and Long Qi nodded helplessly and said, "Bring him here, let him see. This guy may know much more than me."
After getting Long Qi's permission, the soldier trotted all the way to the depths of Warehouse No. 1. When he reappeared in front of Zhang Mu and Long Qi, he had a box filled with jade in his hand, which was very delicate and unique in appearance.
When the brocade box was opened, Long Qi's face was full of disgust, and Zhang Mu was also confused.
Even Zhang Mu himself has never seen this beast core?
