Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 331 The Flame of Civilization? Extraordinary Plants! Sales Channels

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lin Bei was taken aback, then exchanged a glance with Su Qiang, not understanding why Chu Sheng would say such a thing.

What do you mean by "Do you dare to want it?"

Seeing that Lin Bei didn't speak, Chu Sheng didn't mind. With a thought, a black flame appeared out of thin air in front of him.

This flame was incredibly deep, burning in pitch black yet eerily sinister; just looking at it gave one the feeling that their soul would be sucked in.

"What is this?" Su Qiang was startled and took two steps back, looking at the flame in front of Chu Sheng with a look of horror.

Not only him, but Lin Bei and the other two also took a few steps back.

Although Su Qiang is a Sequence Ability User, he has only awakened his Sequence a few days ago, and in all aspects of his understanding, he is still the same as an ordinary person.

In other words, they haven't seen much of the world.

Although they knew that this world possessed the amazing ability of Sequence, they had never actually seen any other Sequence users, apart from that fool who wanted to be king.

However, the three members of Hui's team standing behind Chu Sheng did not react much to the flame.

Looking at the flame, Hui asked Chu Sheng with some doubt, "Is this the Flame of Civilization?"

"But I remember the Flame of Civilization wasn't like this, was it?"

Hui had seen the Flame of Civilization before, but the color of that flame was different from the one before.

"The Flame of Civilization?" Chu Sheng glanced at Team Leader Hui and, without hiding anything, explained, "The Flame of Civilization was fused with it when it was forged into the Eternal Vertical Eye, but this flame is the same as the Flame of Civilization."

The Eternal Vertical Eye can also grant others the characteristics of the Flame of Civilization, but unlike before, the Flame of Civilization given now does not require the other party to have the awareness to sacrifice themselves for civilization.

"This is the flame of civilization, possessing the characteristic of never being extinguished. It will also grant you courage and subtly change your character, inspiring its possessor to fight for civilization. Moreover, it is a fragment of my own flame."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng revealed a mysterious smile, "This seed fire can erupt directly if I want to, and the person implanted with the seed fire will be burned instantly."

So, do you dare to take it?

Chu Sheng looked at Lin Bei and the other three, but said nothing more.

It wasn't that he was explaining it intentionally, but rather it was the rule of the transaction itself.

Transactions must adhere to the principles of openness and fairness; there must be no concealment or deception. Otherwise, the transaction will be directly rejected, and the person will be branded as despicable.

This was also the information that came to his mind along with the information about the previous transaction.

Of course, he can also choose to refuse to trade this item, thus hiding the information.

But Chu Sheng didn't intend to do that; he wanted to see if the other party would trade the Flame of Civilization.

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lin Bei had no doubts and clearly knew about this matter.

Looking at the flames floating in front of Chu Sheng, Lin Bei frowned and began to ponder.

He didn't have a strong feeling about this flame, and if he had a choice, he would definitely not choose this flame called the Flame of Civilization.

But now they have no choice.

Even if he didn't like this flame of civilization, he had no choice but to accept it.

He frowned not because he didn't want it, but because he was wondering if Chu Sheng would accept their offer.

Even if this flame of civilization has side effects, even if life and death are decided by someone else once you accept it, it is still a part of the extraordinary.

They only had food and medicine, while their opponents seemed to have nothing lacking. Their dark gold armor alone looked impressive, not to mention the three people behind them.

A woman with golden eyes wielding a black bone spear, a burly man holding a stick, and a seemingly refined but actually quite shrewd man.

Lin Bei thought for a moment, glanced at Su Qiang, then took a deep breath and said nothing. Instead, he took out four pills from his pocket.

"Yes! Of course we'll take it! As long as you make the deal, we'll take it!"

"These four pills are the items we are trading for."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, bypassing the intense heat of the black flames, and handed the medicine to Chu Sheng.

"You really want it?" Chu Sheng glanced at him, took the small pill from his hand, and then a message appeared in his mind.

[Source of anger]

[Category: Creation (Pseudo-Transcendent)]

[Anger: Maintain anger, keep your body temperature constant!]

[Craftsman: Extracted from the mysterious creature's body, this item can maintain a survivor's body temperature for ten days!]

"This thing," Chu Sheng muttered, then looked at Lin Bei and Su Qiang, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes hidden behind his armor.

We need a stable flame, and we need stable food.

This is what he needs for the transaction information to appear in his mind.

He hadn't understood why Lin Bei and the other three needed a stable flame when he saw them wearing only light clothing, but now that he had this thing called the Source of Life, he understood.

No wonder the other party would risk their life and death in someone else's hands to trade for the Flame of Civilization.

“Not enough,” Chu Sheng said.

Hearing this, Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat. Admittedly, to prevent the other party from bargaining, he had only given four pills, but he still wanted to trade one or two of the remaining four for food. Although Lin Bei's face was tense, under Chu Sheng's mental perception, his heart was beating faster and faster.

"Hehe." Chu Sheng put the four life sources into his pocket, took a few steps forward, and patted Lin Bei on the shoulder.

Don't misunderstand.

"Although this item is not enough to trade for the Flame of Civilization, since you are also Chinese, and considering that you live in an extremely cold environment, this is your first transaction, and this Flame of Civilization does have some problems, I will give it to you at half price."

"Try to survive."

"But you still need food, right? I can't give that away for free."

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, An Xi and the other two behind him displayed somewhat strange expressions.

Although they wouldn't even accept this black flame of civilization for free, they couldn't believe Chu Sheng would be so kind as to trade it now.

Lin Bei, on the other hand, calmed down a bit after his violently beating heart subsided, and looked at Chu Sheng with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Regardless of the circumstances, Chu Sheng would be considered their benefactor simply for trading this Flame of Civilization.

Especially when they know the customers are in dire need and are willing to sell or give it away at half price.

Although this flame of civilization has many flaws, both he and Su Qiang and the others know that as long as they accept this flame of civilization, they will indirectly possess extraordinary abilities.

After all, being able to control this flame at will, and the flame having the characteristic of never going out, is equivalent to controlling a very powerful flame.

This is not just for keeping warm.

However, although grateful to Chu Sheng for giving them the Flame of Civilization at half price, Lin Bei still took the initiative to ask, "How much is your food?"

Hearing this, Chu Sheng smiled; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

"That depends on what kind of food you need."

“Ordinary food, such as rice, corn, and potatoes, can be bought for a thousand catties with a single piece of extraordinary material of the ninth rank.”

"And pre-apocalyptic foods, such as canned goods, spicy snacks, and chocolate, can be bought for 100 jin with a single piece of Sequence 9 extraordinary material."

At this point, Chu Sheng paused and looked at Lin Bei and the other three, "You should also know the difference between the two."

Lin Bei nodded upon hearing Chu Sheng's words.

Foods like rice and potatoes need to be cooked before eating, and they are only the most basic foods, enough to simply fill your stomach.

While canned spicy snacks were considered unhealthy before the apocalypse, they are an irreplaceable delicacy during the apocalypse.

Putting everything else aside, the oil and salt in spicy strips alone are more valuable than rice and potatoes, not to mention that this stuff can remind people of things before the apocalypse.

In other words, this thing can also help people restore their sanity.

If he were the other person, he would also make a distinction.

Seeing that Lin Bei understood what he was saying, Chu Sheng nodded slightly and continued, "Besides these two kinds of food, we also have extraordinary food."

"Extraordinary food?"

Lin Bei was somewhat puzzled, clearly not understanding the extraordinary food Chu Sheng was referring to.

Not only him, but even Zhu Qing, who was standing behind Chu Sheng, scratched his head. "Extraordinary plants? The ones that old man Li planted?"

"That looks like it's used to blow up weird things, right?"

Chu Sheng glanced at Zhu Qing, indicating that he didn't want to talk to him. Hui, who was next to Zhu Qing, tugged at him speechlessly and gestured with his eyes for him to be quiet.

"Is your sequence cost getting more and more serious?" An Xi asked, glancing at Zhu Qing.

"What are you talking about? My sequence cost isn't making me stupid!" Zhu Qingyi retorted to An Xi righteously.

An Xi just pursed her lips and said nothing, but she said everything.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, most people in the team knew what Zhu Qing's situation was.

"Extraordinary plants, as the name suggests, are plants that possess extraordinary powers."

"For example, a chili pepper that can explode; the power of one chili pepper is about the same as a grenade before the apocalypse."

"There are also cucumbers and things that can form shields."

"Of course, these extraordinary plants are also edible. Because of their extraordinary power, long-term consumption of such foods will make people stronger and more powerful."

Chu Sheng gave a brief introduction to these extraordinary plants. He wasn't just making this up; it was something Old Man Li had told him personally during his conversation with Old Man Li and Captain Hui under the moon.

Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lin Bei subconsciously swallowed.

If when he traded the Flame of Civilization he only considered them a relatively strong team, now he has categorized Chu Sheng and his group as among the strongest in the apocalypse.

He had personally witnessed that foolish king being brutally beaten by a strange creature.

The fact that Chu Sheng and his group could provide so much food, along with the presence of extraordinary plants, proves that the other party must own land.

With its bizarre pursuit of humanity, how powerful must it be to possess land in the apocalypse?
"You own land that you can cultivate?!"
