Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Bulk Quantity Has Its Advantages
However, Su Jin and Lu Hao told him that there was nothing for sale at the F-City base, and even if there was, they only accepted Mutated Crystal Nuclei, so his desire to buy some local specialties had to be abandoned once again...
Wu Xingye anxiously awaited the return of the team at home.
But he felt the wait was unbearably long, nearly every minute he was uneasy, fearing that this matter wasn’t real, and worried that the one named Long Aotian might have sold the supplies to someone else.
So, he simply gathered the remaining people and picked up the piles and piles of Crystal Cores from the warehouse and headed towards the residence of Lin Xiuyuan and the others.
"Here they come, here they come, Brother-in-law Su Jin, you guys hide quickly."
Lin Xiuyuan ran down from the third floor, he saw Uncle Wu coming over with a line of people carrying things.
"So soon?"
Huang Yunxiang quickly stuffed the fruit in her hand into her mouth, and the rhythmic knocking on the door outside had already begun.
Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t enter the space but took out Local Tyrant Gold from it.
"Local Tyrant Gold, lend a hand."
Su Jin scratched underneath the neck of Local Tyrant Gold, who immediately comfortably displayed its Invisibility Ability and made them both invisible.
Yin Bao, although carrying a large bag of Crystal Cores and following behind Wu Xingye, still didn’t believe that these Crystal Cores could buy any supplies.
"Could Teacher have been deceived by someone?"
Yin Bao said to Wang Yongnan beside him.
"I have my doubts too, Teacher Wu even offered them free lodging and personally delivered Crystal Cores, who would have excess supplies to sell nowadays?"
It’s not just Yin Bao who didn’t believe, Wang Yongnan, who was a few years older than Yin Bao, also didn’t believe it.
"But I think the few people who came before didn’t seem like swindlers."
Xiao Yu also carried a pile of Crystal Cores and followed along, especially the three who had come earlier, they didn’t look like swindlers at all.
"In any case, everyone be ready to adapt to the situation, in case those people assault Teacher Wu, we must immediately fight for our lives!"
Yin Bao looked at his junior brothers and sisters with a serious expression and said.
"..."
Wu Xingye, who overheard everything clearly from ahead, didn’t object. It was understandable for these disciples to be doubtful, even he was not very sure at the moment, but Xiao Yu’s words were indeed what he thought.
Those people didn’t seem like swindlers.
If he was deceived, what’s there to regret with these useless Ordinary Crystal Cores anyway?
The door was opened by an honest-looking big man, Su Xiangzhe smiled and said to Wu Xingye, "Welcome."
"..."
Yin Bao and the others looked at each other, welcome?
Does this honest man actually do business?
With varying thoughts in their minds, they still carried the Crystal Cores and entered.
Su Xiangzhe did not seem to want to close the door, but Wu Xingye, seeing the open door, signaled Yin Bao to close it.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, "Long Aotian" took the list from Wu Xingye and read it from top to bottom.
My goodness, Wu Xingye only wanted rice and flour. Aside from the rice and flour listed at the top of the near-blank sheet, there was nothing else requested.
"We’ve brought a total of 200,000 Ordinary Crystal Cores, I wonder if we could exchange them all for food?"
Wu Xingye asked tentatively.
Yin Bao and the others, who hadn’t seen the price list, sighed. 200,000 Ordinary Crystal Cores, that must be the entirety of True Martial Sect’s savings for hundreds of their members, and they didn’t know how many catty of food that could buy.
"No problem. At the rate of 30 Crystal Cores per catty, a whole bag of food is 20 kilograms, which is 40 catties per bag, so there should be 166.6 bags of food. But since you’re purchasing in bulk, I’ll give you a better deal, 170 bags of food,"
"Long Aotian" clattered away on the calculator while Wu Xingye and the others were already stunned on the spot.
Isn’t that more than 6,000 catties of food?
What does over 6000 kilograms represent? And this person even rounded it up for them, making it a total of 170 bags?
"Do you have... a Special Ability User who can store things?"
Lin Xiuyuan wanted to say a Space Element Ability User, but the words ’space element’ got completely stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say them, so he had to phrase it like this.
A Special Ability User who can store things?
A Space Element Ability User?
Wu Xingye nodded, then shook his head. The disciples accompanying him were all ordinary people. The Space Element Ability Users had gone out with the team to kill zombies, so there were no Space Element Ability Users present.
"No problem, Teacher Wu, we can carry it ourselves, we are strong enough!"
Wang Yongnan stood up and said; he needed to see the food to believe it.
Yet, within moments, a row of neatly arranged supplies appeared in front of Wu Xingye and his group.
Because the bulging bags of grain were so conspicuous, they didn’t notice which one among Long Aotian’s people was the Space Element Ability User; all their attention was focused on the grain in the courtyard.
"Teacher Wu, this is real rice!"
Xiao Yu touched it and said; she couldn’t be mistaken by the feel of it. She dared not open the bag and was afraid the grain would spill out, so she only dared to touch it with her hand.
"It’s flour, it’s flour!"
A young man looked at the big bags of flour on the other side and said; although there were no labels on the bags, those bags were indeed filled with flour!
"So you all didn’t believe just now?"
Lin Xiuyuan began to laugh.
"Brother Long, it’s not that we didn’t believe you, it’s just too hard to believe. How are you so capable of acquiring so much food?"
Wang Yongnan asked, excited.
"Wandering around, collecting,"
Lin Xiuyuan walked over to another side with another family, next to the Crystal Cores. Whether it was the boxes or the bags, they were indeed filled with Crystal Cores.
200,000 Crystal Cores; they didn’t bother to count them one by one. Wu Xingye probably wouldn’t cheat over such a small matter, so Su Jin directly stored them all in her space.
"Mr. Long, I’m sorry, we were narrow-minded. Thank you for selling us so many supplies at such a low price. You are the benefactor of True Martial Sect!"
After Wu Xingye finished speaking, he knelt down with a thud.
"..."
Lin Xiuyuan and the others were startled. What was going on?
Su Jin, who was invisibly standing by, almost laughed out loud. Uncle Wu was really something, kneeling down at the drop of a hat.
"Brother Wu, get up quickly, we still want to use your place to continue doing business. You are our guests as well as our landlords,"
Su Xiangzhe stepped forward and helped Wu Xingye up.
"You want to do more business, you have more supplies to sell?"
Wu Xingye asked in surprise.
"A bit more, probably will need Uncle Wu’s help in finding customers,"
Lin Xiuyuan said.
There was no need to find customers? Perhaps the threshold of this small western-style building would be worn down soon?
Everyone was unanimously thinking the same thing...
...
The next day, early in the morning, Su Jin, Lu Hao, and the others arrived at the agreed location, ready to continue their journey to City B.
The situation here had temporarily stabilized, and it was said that True Martial Sect decided to send people to maintain order around the small western-style building and to ensure the safety of the family. The family at the F City base was likely to be busy for a while.
