Chapter 115 is a bonus chapter for those who voted for monthly tickets (two chapters combined).
Two hours later, when there was another commotion outside, Fu Le had taken a short nap and it was already dark outside.
Fu Le found a solar-powered searchlight and illuminated the room as if it were daytime. When An Sheng brought his people in, they almost thought that there was some rare treasure in the room that made it so bright.
"What is this?!" An Sheng exclaimed in shock, completely unable to control his voice.
He was utterly shocked. Don't think he was stupid; the supplies he received far exceeded all his knowledge from childhood to adulthood.
The two men who came with him didn't seem surprised by the scene. Their eyes held unreadable emotions, completely different from An Sheng's excitement and astonishment.
"This is a solar-powered light. Even when it's not working, it will still light up at night as long as you put it in the sun," Fu Le explained patiently to the buyer.
"I want it!! I want as much as you can!!" Unsurprisingly, An Sheng acted like a spoiled tycoon, wanting everything in sight.
"Asheng." The forgotten middle-aged man finally couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
“Oh, right, I’m sorry, Master Jiang, Third Master, Fu Le, this is Master Jiang, this is Third Master. They are the heads of the Stone Cave White Dragon Merchant Guild. Only they can handle your supplies, and only they can provide what you need.” An Sheng said apologetically.
"Master Jiang, Third Master, please have a seat." Fu Le waved his hand, and a three-seater sofa appeared before everyone. This time, even Master Jiang and Third Master changed their expressions.
They wanted to maintain a certain air of composure, not wanting to be looked down upon, but they were also eager to touch the beautiful things they had never seen before. So, they inevitably rushed over, plopped down, sighed deeply, and couldn't control their expressions of comfort.
"How many of these do you have left? We'll take them all."
Fu Le: ...
I like people who are rich and powerful.
"I want as much of the energy-rich beast blood as you have. Also, I want all the beast milk you currently have that is available for trade. In addition, I would like to ask what other resources you have that I can trade with? Up until now, I have only shown you what resources I have that I can trade with, but I do not know what resources you have that I can trade with."
These two gentlemen are indeed extraordinary. They are in perfectly normal physical condition, and even slightly overweight. Compared to the ordinary people outside who look like drug addicts, they are worlds apart.
This shows how much energy needs to be replenished daily to build up the body to this size.
Master Jiang nodded. “What you say is true, young lady. Then let me tell you what we have. We have a breeding farm, and the animal blood and milk come from the animals we raise. We also have dried seafood, minerals, herbs, animal pills, animal hide products, animal bone products, and shell handicrafts…”
"Meson crafts?" Fu Le was taken aback. Could it be some other form of meson space?
Mr. Jiang raised his hand, and a shallow cup, three or four centimeters in diameter and less than two centimeters in height, appeared in his palm. "There is milk wine here. Consider this cup a gift for Miss Fu."
Fu Le took it, then took out another glass. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he poured the milk wine from the small teacup into the 100ml glass. Then, until the glass was full, the small teacup remained full.
Forehead……
There's no lid; if it spills, wouldn't it all be a waste?
"Does it have a lid?" I asked, thinking of it.
"It only has a one-liter capacity, so there's no need for a lid," Jiang said with a smile.
Fu Le: What a waste of talent!
Fu Le pursed her lips, a pang of heartache crossing her face, and said, "Good stuff."
"I'm glad Miss Fu likes it."
"If it's convenient, could I visit your farm?" Fu Le asked.
"sure."
That evening, the two leaders traded away ten mattresses, ten wooden beds, and ten three-seater sofas from Fu Le. In return, Fu Le received half a ton of beast blood, and they agreed to go to the farm together the next day.
After seeing off the two reluctant leaders, An Sheng also ordered the same amount: thirty-five sets of various men's sportswear and one hundred pairs of sports shoes in various sizes. Fu Le exchanged half a ton of beast blood and one ton of beast milk, making a huge profit.
When he was alone in the room, Fu Le took out the portable gas stove he had gotten from the apocalypse, put a pot on it, stir-fried some greens, made stir-fried green peppers with meat, cooked noodles, and ate a hearty meal.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, early in the morning, Fu Le followed An Sheng and rode the flying horse directly to the breeding farm.
Upon arriving at the breeding farm, Fu Le realized that this world also had forests, but the forests were surrounded by white clouds and mist. The closer you got to the forest, the lower the temperature became. The breeding farm was located less than a mile from the forest, in a cave ten times larger than the one she lived in. The cave walls were covered with countless holes, and the cliff face was so crowded that there was almost no space. The breeders fed the animals using flying horses instead of ziplines.
“This is Poison Barrier Ridge. You should be able to guess what that white mist is, right?” An Sheng said.
Fu Le frowned but didn't say anything, it seemed he had decided that she was from Xingcheng.
Sitting on the Pegasus, Fu Le watched as the zookeepers stopped at various cave entrances on the cliff to feed the animals, just like bees collecting nectar. It seemed to be all meat. Could it be that there were no grass-growing animals?
Seeing that Fu Le remained silent, a dark glint flashed in An Sheng's eyes. "The milk and beast blood you wanted are in the warehouse. Do you want to check every cave in this breeding farm?"
"Let's take a spin around," Fu Le said.
As they got closer, Fu Le could finally see what each cave looked like. The entrances were no different from human dwellings, but the spaces inside had no doors. Animals could freely roam through the winding paths within the cliff walls, living a carefree life.
All sorts of wild beasts, strangely shaped, as if pieced together: sheep's head and pig's body, horse's head and turtle's body, two-legged insects and beasts, three-legged birds, centipedes over ten meters long, and giant frogs with eyes half the size of their bodies...
Fu Le felt her scalp tingle, especially seeing Lai Kebao covered in large, watermelon-sized pustules, which made her scalp tingle and prompted An Sheng to accelerate at full speed.
"What do you use that thing for?" Fu Le asked, feeling disgusted.
"Don't be fooled by their disgusting appearance. The sap extracted from their pustules can be used to make a drug that can ward off poison. It can be extracted repeatedly and is inexhaustible. We planters rely on this drug to move freely in and out of the Poison Barrier Ridge. However, we can only go in from the outside. The beasts inside are beyond our ability to handle."
Fu Le: Which deity discovered this wonderful use? How brave!
"You hate the people of Xingcheng? Then why did you make a deal with me?" This was essentially an indirect admission of their identities to An Sheng.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to explain where she came from.
"The traveling merchants from Xingcheng only come once a year or every few years, and they don't bring much material. You're different; you've brought a lot, and it's all new stuff. We need your materials. The people in the merchant guild are used to trading with you. Is this your first time coming out?" You don't even know that?
An Sheng's unfinished words were all too clear.
Fu Le feigned innocence, "Yes, it's my first time."
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. You're just merchants, not those in power. The elixir of immortality isn't for ordinary people like you; it's for the nobles of Star City. We won't hold a grudge against you," An Sheng reassured him, seemingly sensing Fu Le's 'concern'.
Judging from Fu Le's cluelessness, she doesn't even have fluorite and is thin, so she's obviously not well-regarded in Xingcheng. I wonder where she got so many good things when she's so weak.
After strolling around the farm for almost an hour, An Sheng finally said, "Is there anything else you want to know? If not, I'll take you to the Chamber of Commerce; they're already waiting for you there."
Fu Le was very surprised to find that the location of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce was inside the Poison Barrier Ridge.
Before entering the Poison Barrier Ridge, Fu Le put on the protective suit provided by An Sheng: a black animal skin jumpsuit, boots, and a protective helmet made of animal bones. The glasses were made of glass and had night vision capabilities. This was the first technologically advanced item Fu Le had discovered.
The way in is through an underground tunnel.
Fu Le stood with An Sheng beneath a giant beast with cone-shaped horns on its head, resembling a hyena, and ten times the size of a lion or tiger. Fu Le felt his scalp tingle from being stared at by a pair of red eyes and quietly erected a protective shield.
"Ah Le, squat down and let our guests get on." An Sheng patted the giant beast's belly.
The giant beast gave a meek groan and knelt down.
"Let's go up."
Although he was somewhat apprehensive, Fu Leqiang calmly climbed up and sat down.
"Let's go, Ah Le."
The hyena was very obedient throughout the journey, always following closely behind An Sheng.
"This is a black hound, the most docile of beasts, and an expert hunter. Our team also keeps two."
Fu Le: docile? If their four exposed sharp teeth weren't over thirty centimeters long, I might actually believe it.
Fu Le's tense appearance made An Sheng laugh, and he quickened his pace.
The underground tunnel, apart from the initial hundred or so steps, becomes flat at the bottom, making it easy to run. In the wall niches on both sides, there are basketball-sized candles made from animal oil, spaced about a meter apart, extending all the way in, making the entire passage brightly lit.
After passing the straightest main road, the road suddenly forked at the end, followed by a series of crisscrossing and complex tunnels that made people dizzy. Fu Le held his breath and focused on memorizing some subtle traces for future use.
When the clock on my wrist struck twelve, a wide open area suddenly appeared before me, and a stone gate more than three meters high came into view.
"We've arrived," An Sheng said.
He jumped off the giant beast and punched the stone beast on the right side of the stone gate. The stone gate then rumbled and shrank upwards, and light appeared in front of him. Through the thick trees, he could vaguely see the outline of houses deep in the forest.
The White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is nestled deep in a mountain valley in the Poisonous Barrier Ridge. A large cluster of two-story wooden houses sits there, surrounded by a large garden with flowers, grass, and trees. The lush greenery is crisscrossed by winding paths paved with clean and tidy stone slabs.
Although it's not decorated with dragons and phoenixes like ancient architecture, you can tell at a glance that it's a house with a mortise and tenon structure. Clearly, there are many skilled craftsmen in this world, and it's really beautiful.
These are normal houses, aren't they? Where are those grottoes outside suitable for people to live in?
However, this also thoroughly demonstrates the class gap, which exists in any dimension and no one can change its existence.
“The people living here are least affected by the formation,” An Sheng suddenly said.
Fu Le turned to look at him in surprise, "Aren't all the people with status and position here? Where are the managers?"
“The managers are in a better place.” AXA seemed quite frank, but was unwilling to elaborate.
"Can't you stay here? The people from the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce look perfectly normal, and their health is much better than yours."
"Someone always has to make a sacrifice."
Upon hearing this, Fu Le fell silent.
So, are ordinary people the only ones who should be sacrificed? Why should they be?
“The White Dragon Merchant Guild’s pharmacy sells its medicines at the lowest possible price, barely making any profit. This is what ordinary people rely on to survive, so the White Dragon Merchant Guild’s reputation is guaranteed. You don’t need to think too much about it.” An Sheng seemed to think that Fu Le’s silence was because she was worried that the White Dragon Merchant Guild would harm her.
"You're overthinking it. Go inside. Didn't you say they're waiting?"
The guards at the entrance opened the wooden door for the two and took control of the hound beast.
Passing through the courtyard, the second floor, which appears in the center, is a separate building, while the first floor is the reception hall.
When the two entered, there were already dozens of people inside, some sitting and some standing. Fu Le's appearance instantly quieted the noisy hall.
All eyes were on her—some searching, some surprised, some amused, some watching with amusement.
Fu Le looked past the center of the crowd and immediately spotted Master Jiang and Third Master in the main seats. Another face, both familiar and unfamiliar, caused a change in Fu Le's expression.
Guan Ya, the captain who saved her but looked down on her.
Guan Ya heard that a traveling merchant from Xingcheng was coming today, so he came along. He never expected that this traveling merchant would be Fu Le, the one whose life he had saved. Now he understood why she had so brazenly said she wanted to repay him.
The traveling merchant had countless goods, so naturally we could repay him.
Guan Ya curled his lips into a smile, while the man beside him watched this scene with a somewhat amused expression.
"Miss Fu, you've arrived. Please have a seat." Mr. Jiang stood up and walked over with a warm smile.
After some pleasantries and introductions, Fu Le was seated to the left of Master Jiang. Everyone started chatting about their needs, and Fu Le once again took out items from his spatial storage, from small items like pots and pans, shoes and clothes, to large items like sofas, mattresses, and wooden furniture. In short, every time he took out an item, everyone exclaimed in surprise, looking like complete country bumpkins.
This time, even the most useless drinks in the space have found a place.
