Jemoka was speechless. Who's looking at you? I'm looking at the hot pot!
Jemoka asked, "Could I have your share?"
Xia Luoxue shook her head decisively: "No!"
Jemoka held out his palm: "I'll give you 500 energy points for this self-heating hot pot."
Xia Luoxue thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Not for sale!"
"1000, will you sell?" Jemoca offered again.
Xia Luoxue hesitated, but still firmly shook her head: "No, I won't sell."
"Two thousand, that's the most I can offer, I can't go any higher. Are you selling or not?"
Xia Luoxue's face looked like she was about to cry: "I, I, I'll sell."
She really wanted to eat it too, and she really, really couldn't bear to sell it.
However, the price they offered was far too high!
While Xia Luoxue was still hesitating, Jemoka immediately transferred the energy points to Xia Luoxue and happily took the self-heating hot pot from her hand.
Xia Luoxue felt both disappointed and happy.
Disappointment comes from losing the delicious food in your hand, while happiness comes from receiving a large amount of energy points.
Jemoka took the self-heating hot pot, brought his nose close to it, and smelled it again and again.
fragrant!
It smells so good!
He couldn't resist the aroma, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly started eating.
tasty.
Jemoka initially intended to savor it, but before long, her mouth was stuffed full.
After eating for a while, he and Jelluca exchanged glances from time to time.
It was as if it was saying: See, it wasn't a wasted trip, was it?
Jelucana was all smiles, nodding repeatedly to Jemoka. It was definitely worth the trip; they had made a fortune.
Jemoka bought it from that woman, while Jeluka was treated by Ji Xian and didn't spend a penny. That was the difference, and City Lord Jeluka was overjoyed.
Jeluca thought to himself, "A person like Ji Xian deserves to be treated well, even if it means putting in some effort to please him. Maybe I'll get another chance to eat such delicious food next time."
At this moment, everyone had their own thoughts.
Ji Xian's feelings at this moment were different from Xia Luoxue's. Xia Luoxue was both happy and sad, while Ji Xian was only happy.
Now that the matter of someone wanting to kill him has been resolved, he is free to move around the city and enter and leave the city at will.
Treating someone to a self-heating hot pot meal is nothing at all.
Jeluka and Jemoka devoured the hot pot in no time, leaving it completely clean.
"Cool!"
"tasty!"
After they finished eating, the two rubbed their bellies contentedly.
Jeruca looked at Ji Xian with delight in his eyes.
"Mr. Ji Xian, thank you so much for treating me to this delicious meal. From now on, in this city, I'm the boss, and you're number two. Anyone who dares to disrespect you is disrespecting me."
Jemoka, standing to the side, widened his eyes: "He's the second oldest, so what am I?"
Jeruca chuckled and said, "Do as you please."
Jemoka was shocked. How could her brother be like this!
A hotpot meal was all it took to win him over, even his own brother's status has to be pushed back, it's really... sigh! Jemoka had a hard time saying anything, and showed a bitter face.
Ji Xian was naturally very happy: "Haha, Lord City Lord, you are too kind. I thank you for your kindness."
Ji Xian didn't know if the city lord was telling the truth or just being polite, but anyway, the word "thank you" was worthless, so he thanked him first.
Jeruca then said to Ji Xian, "Since we have nothing to do now, I'll take you to see the people who attacked you. I've captured them all, and I'm going to execute them."
Ji Xian nodded. Seeing his enemy disappear with his own eyes would put his mind at ease, so he agreed to go and check it out for Jeruca.
After going downstairs and leaving the hotel, I saw a group of soldiers and three vehicles waiting for me.
The two vehicles, one in front of the other, were common off-road vehicles, each equipped with a machine gun mounted on its roof.
The middle vehicle has a rather novel design, resembling a semi-circular metal can.
Ji Xian felt that this kind of car was more in line with the setting of a science fiction world.
However, seeing the AK in the soldier's hand, Ji Xian felt conflicted.
Why not use a more advanced weapon, such as a laser gun?
However, if we consider it from the perspective of the city lord, the consumable for the laser gun is energy points.
Energy points are more expensive and scarcer than consumables like bullets!
If all soldiers were deployed, the cost would be considerable, and a lord of a small city might not be able to afford it.
The weapons that soldiers in the city are usually equipped with are only to intimidate the civilians; there is no need for more advanced weapons.
Ji Xian and Jeluka Jeluka got into the car, which was like a metal can.
Once inside the car, I discovered that it wasn't as stuffy as it looked from the outside. The interior was quite luxurious, like entering a small room.
The car started and soon arrived at the square in the city center.
In one corner of the square, there is a prominent platform.
This platform is an execution platform.
This is a post-apocalyptic world where people have become numb to laws and rules. Setting up an execution platform in the square to make an example of someone is necessary.
At this moment, a group of soldiers escorted more than a dozen people to the execution platform.
Those dozen or so people were all tied up.
One of them was dressed reasonably well, but the rest of the dozen or so people were all dressed in tattered clothes.
Just by looking at their clothes, Ji Xian could tell who the mastermind was, and the rest were just slaves being manipulated.
These people were tied up and kneeling on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the city lord and Ji Xian.
Jeruca led Ji Xian out of the car, and escorted by soldiers, they walked toward the execution platform.
By this time, a large number of people had gathered in the square.
