Chapter 81: New Era Profiteers
Soon, Bai Qi put all the angel flowers into the secret realm. He felt relieved only after confirming that the angel flowers had no rejection.
"We'll need to build a separate greenhouse for the Angel Flower when the time comes, otherwise it might be destroyed by that stupid dog Beta one day."
Bai Qi retracted his mental power, then stretched his muscles and said to the Husky, "Beta, expand the search range, we are going to book the whole place!"
Woof woof!
(Leave it to me!)
The Husky let out a long howl, and mechanical bees and mechanical spiders emerged from its half-body mecha, then quickly dispersed and began to explore the surrounding situation.
【Name】：Mechanical Bee／Mechanical Spider
[Introduction]: A mechanical creation, specially used to survey the surrounding situation.
The combination of survey machinery and the Husky's own perception skills instantly expanded the Husky's perception range several times.
A calming fruit?
Lighting, lighting!
Moonstone?
Dig it all out! Dig it all out!
Kiwi tree?
Um, this can’t be moved all.
…
On the hillside of Danggu Mountain.
Several candidates looked at the forest in front of them, which looked like a Zerg invasion, with a trace of confusion in their eyes.
Where are the resources that were promised to be everywhere?
Why does it look like it’s not as good as the small mound behind my house?
"I also took the test at Danggu Mountain last year. There should be a patch of calming grass here. Why is it bald now?"
"Who isn't? I just walked through a kiwifruit forest, and some bastard picked all the kiwifruits there, leaving not a single one for me."
"You two are pretty good. At most you just didn't complete the mission. Look at me. I didn't dig anything up. I was even blown away by a bomb left by some bastard. I was left with nothing."
"Uh, brother, you smell like this, are you really eating something?"
"……You know too much."
The group was talking among themselves when they suddenly felt someone approaching from behind and immediately became alert.
"who!"
They are all candidates from Lingxi City. They have a lot of experience in the field and are still very vigilant.
Seeing the three people immediately enter the battle state, Bai Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, I just come to make a deal with you."
As he spoke, Bai Qi took out a tranquilizing grass and a kiwi fruit, and said, "These two should be your mission items. As long as you bring something of sufficient value, I will agree to exchange with you."
Seeing the two things in Bai Qi's hand, several people's eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately took out something of equal value and wanted to exchange it with Bai Qi, but Bai Qi directly took the two things back.
"Sorry, these things are not valuable enough."
"How is that possible? These two are rare materials, how could they not be enough?"
One candidate frowned slightly, obviously unhappy.
"I know, but these things are mine, so I set the price."
Bai Qi nodded seriously, glanced at the school badges on the people, and said, "You are candidates from Lingxi City, right? Then pay five times the value."
"Five times?! Why don't you just go and rob?"
"Please don't slander me, this is a legal transaction."
Bai Qi's face straightened, and he said, "I have picked all the tranquilizing herbs and kiwi fruits around here, so if you want to complete the task on time, you can only buy them from me."
"So it was you who did it!"
The three of them glared at each other, then suddenly exchanged glances, and silently dispersed to surround Bai Qi.
"Actually, I really don't recommend you do this."
Seeing the actions of the three people, Bai Qi sighed and nodded behind them.
Two broken swords were quietly floating behind the two men's heads, and behind the remaining man, a tall warrior in ice armor was watching him silently.
"Is this the Ice Shadow Sword Servant? Are you Bai Qi?"
Looking at Alpha's appearance that looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, one of them recognized him immediately.
"Well, you got the wrong person."
Bai Qi waved his hand calmly and said, "By the way, do you still want it? If not, I will leave."
The three of them looked at each other and saw helplessness on each other's faces. They gritted their teeth and obediently took out five times the resources to exchange with Bai Qi.
Although I am a little unwilling, it is still more cost-effective to complete the task.
Although I am somewhat unwilling, I cannot lose the big picture for the small.
"Tsk...thank you for your patronage."
Bai Qi took the resources from several people with a smile, and after confirming that they were correct, he handed over the items they needed.
"By the way, if you meet someone you know or don't know, remember to help me spread the word. If nothing goes wrong, all the resources in this area should be with me, so tell them to hurry up."
The three men's eyes twitched slightly when they heard this, and they couldn't help but want to take action, but when they thought of the undead creature that appeared silently behind them, they chose to give up.
If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just hide away?
Looking at the three people's receding backs, Bai Qi's smile became brighter.
It’s such a good feeling to be unhappy with yourself but not be able to do anything about it!
Bai Qi looked at the sky which was gradually getting dark, took out a tent from the secret realm and set it up, then looked at the Husky and said, "Have you distributed all the flyers I asked you to distribute?"
Woof woof!
(Don't worry, I'll do the job!)
Husky patted his chest confidently, and directly pulled out a large screen from the secret space and connected it to its own energy source. All the materials they already had and the quotations appeared on it.
"The exchange rate for Gusu City candidates is 1:2, Lingxi City ordinary candidates is 1:3, and Tianxuan High School candidates is 1:5. Hmm, it's quite reasonable."
Although he had collected a lot of resources and even monopolized some of them, it was obviously impossible for him to completely clear the entire Danggu Mountain.
However, as long as there are people coming to him to trade, with the current ratio, a little bit will add up to a lot, and his business will only grow bigger and bigger.
He is only responsible for sales, and the search for supplies is left to these hard-working little bees.
Suddenly I found that I have a good business mind!
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then dived into the tent.
"Beta, you'll be in charge of the transaction tonight. Alpha, watch out for any troublemakers and kick them out immediately. And... A-choo!"
Crunch.
Woof woof!
The two pets obeyed the order and quickly returned to their posts, while Bai Qi rubbed his nose and went back into the tent.
Sure enough, the nights in the mountains are a bit cold. Well, cover yourself with an extra blanket at night.
…
"Bai Qi, Bai Qi!"
A burst of shouting woke Bai Qi from his sleep. Bai Qi barely opened his eyes and stuck his head out of the tent, and saw Han Wei and others looking at Bai Qi with strange expressions. Beside the three of them, a group of people were queuing up in an orderly manner to trade with Husky.
These are people who do not have time to complete the task but cannot defeat the other ferocious beast, so they can only choose to come to Bai Qi to exchange resources.
Although they were a little unwilling, those who could defeat Bai Qi had already completed their mission, and only they, the scum, were left.
You mean gang fight?
Okay, you go first?
"Why are you here? Didn't you complete the mission?"
Bai Qi came out of the tent and said, "Since we are all so familiar with each other, I won't charge more. We can just exchange it at a one-to-one ratio."
