Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 332 Luck? Misfortune? Everyone Has Their Own Hidden agendas!

"Of course we do, otherwise how could we provide you with food?"

Chu Sheng had no intention of hiding anything. If he didn't show off his strength now, how would he sell the food later?

Prior to this, Chu Sheng had already had this idea of ​​growing food.

In the apocalypse, everyone, regardless of who they are or what faction they belong to, will definitely need food.

Especially bulk foods that can be traded stably.

Now that we have the floating islands, so much land, and Old Man Li who can continuously provide high-quality seeds, plus Wu Meng who can constantly create mechanical dolls for farming.

Chu Sheng could even say that he lacks nothing.

As for drought at high altitudes?
His water purification gourd has an unlimited water source, which is much more stable and advanced than well water, river water, or rainwater.

He wasn't even afraid of insects. The land on the floating island was part of the Netherworld, and its state before merging was also a strange one, with no insects at all, not even insect eggs.

In this situation, he could easily become a grain dealer.

Chu Sheng had previously considered having the survivors farm, but since there were no trading channels at the time, he only thought about growing the crops first, storing them, and then using them directly when needed, even if they weren't good after being stored for a long time.

After all, in the apocalypse, let alone old rice, just having something to eat is a blessing.

But now this channel has arrived.

After briefly explaining that a single Sequence 9 extraordinary material could be exchanged for five catties of extraordinary food, Chu Sheng turned his gaze to Su Qiang, who was standing behind Lin Bei.

He had never forgotten the words that had been on his mind earlier.

A trading sequence can trade anything, even the trading sequence itself.

Through the mask of his armor, Chu Sheng looked at Su Qiang with a hint of longing in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing.

He knew the other party definitely wouldn't trade this sequence.

While they could plunder sequences, the distance between them was too great, making it impossible for them to effectively plunder sequences within this trading space.
Chu Sheng had absolutely no such idea.

It's important to understand that this trading location clearly demonstrates the ability to trade sequences, and when plundering sequences, the first step is to strip away the other party's sequence.

No one can be sure whether this place will collapse directly when the other's sequence is stripped away.

Or perhaps the other party sensed something was wrong and simply removed the area.

No one can say for sure.

Since he wasn't sure, Chu Sheng decided not to alert the enemy. In any case, given the current situation, the other party couldn't do without him.

Anyway, he can still get involved in trading in the future, so he can take it slow and be patient.

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lin Bei swallowed hard, then took out four more life-generating pills from his pocket and said, "Brother Chu Ci, we still have four pills left. They were originally meant to resist the low temperature, but now that we have fire, these four pills are not as effective."

"I'd like to trade this for some food with you."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Could you elaborate on the Sequence Nine extraordinary materials you mentioned earlier? We don't know much about them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng took the four life sources from his hand and put them into his pocket. "Although these things are not sequence materials, they still have some use in certain aspects. I'll consider these four life sources as half of your extraordinary materials."

"You can exchange it for 500 kilograms of ordinary grains such as rice and potatoes, or 50 kilograms of industrial food such as canned spicy strips, or even 2.5 kilograms of extraordinary food."

"You can choose for yourselves."

Chu Sheng paused for a moment, then continued, "As for extraordinary materials and their sequence levels..."

"This information itself is the target of a transaction, but given that it is basic information, the fee is not expensive."

"Just deduct one-fifth of the food you traded this time."

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lin Bei pretended to be shy and scratched his head, then smiled innocently at Chu Sheng, "Brother Chu Ci, can we wait a moment? We need to discuss this."

Seeing him like this, Chu Sheng felt a strange sense of familiarity, but still said, "You two discuss it."

"We'll come back later," Lin Bei said, pulling Su Qiang and the other two back to where they had been through the teleportation portal.

As their gaze shifted from the pitch-black space back to the vast white snowfield and ice plains, Lin Bei and the other three subconsciously squinted, allowing their eyes to readjust to this world.

"Brother Lin, should we change that information?" Su Qiang asked Lin Bei.

Lin Bei didn't answer immediately, but looked at the other two.

“Brother Lin, you two can make the decision. We don’t know as much about this as Su Qiang, nor have we considered things as thoroughly as you,” one of them said. The other also indicated that the decision-making power would be left to Lin Bei and Su Qiang.

Hearing their words, Lin Bei didn't say anything more, but looked at Su Qiang and said, "We definitely have to change it. Although you have awakened the sequence, we know too little about it."

"We still have enough food for now, and we only need one-fifth of the food to exchange for this information. We still have more than 400 pounds of food left."

"The four of us alone are enough to feed us for three months, even conservatively estimated."

"Moreover, they seem very strong, and they have occupied the land and are able to cultivate it stably. This is not something that can be done easily. The information they provide is definitely something we don't know, which can save us a lot of trial and error due to a lack of understanding."

He had no idea that Chu Sheng and the others were on a floating island; in his limited knowledge, he didn't even know what a floating island was. Hearing his words, Su Qiang nodded in agreement.

"Brother Lin, you already have an idea, so why don't we just trade directly?" one of them asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bei smiled and explained, "It gives them the illusion that we are somewhat clever, but that everything is under control."

“A deal can’t last only once. As long as we give them this illusion, they’re likely to give us some benefits later. Why not take advantage of such a bargain?”

He said, then continued, "My idea is to exchange 200 kilograms of rice, corn and other food for one kilogram of that so-called extraordinary food."

"Especially that extraordinary chili pepper. If it really is like a grenade, then we can try to kill it when we encounter the supernatural."

"Instead of hiding from anything strange like we do now."

"Although I don't know what that extraordinary material is, I can guess a little bit. It's probably the thing that fell after the strange thing dissipated."

On the other side, on the floating island.

The moment Lin Bei and the others left the trading space, Chu Sheng and his group of four returned directly to the floating island.

Upon seeing the four return, Zhuo Wu and the others who were gathered around the dark door all came over.

Ah Xin looked An Xi up and down a few times, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "How is it?"

What's the situation inside?

Hearing Ah Xin's words, An Xi shook her head, "Nothing much, just someone who recently awakened their sequence approached us, wanting to trade food and the Flame of Civilization."

Although she didn't say anything or have much presence in the trading space, she could still easily sense Su Qiang's sequence level at her current Sequence Seven level.

Just as Hui had described before entering the trading space, the other side was a small team that had just awakened their sequence.

She had absolutely no interest in this kind of deal.

"Their leader is no ordinary person." Since they came out, Hui's left hand hadn't stopped moving, clearly he had been constantly calculating the situation of the other side.

Upon hearing his words, Chu Sheng asked, "What did you calculate?"

"Hehe, that guy named Lin Bei told the other three that he wanted to mislead us, to make us think that they were a little clever, but that everything was under control. That way, we would give them some benefits in the future transactions, and they could take advantage of us for free, so why not?"

Hearing this, Chu Sheng's expression turned somewhat strange. "They don't actually think we're that easy to talk to, do they?"

The reason he let them trade his Black Flame so easily was simply because he wanted them to live longer.

Although he didn't know why the other party wanted the eternally burning flame when the transaction was first made, in any case, the flame originated from him, and as long as he accepted it, his life and death would be in his control.

Most importantly, this flame, called the Flame of Civilization but actually generated by the Eternal Vertical Eye, is essentially a sacrificial ability of him, a Sequence Six ability user.

As long as the Eternal Vertical Eye remains on him, then that Eternal Black Flame is at Sequence Six ability level.

Dealing with some Sequence 8 monsters is a piece of cake, and even some Sequence 7 monsters with relatively mild abilities can be burned to ashes.

This was a safeguard he made in order to seize that trading sequence.

That's why he sold it at half price, almost gave it away.

Otherwise, with Lin Bei and his group's so-called source of life force, they wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of the Eternal Black Flame.

Although those who accept the Eternal Black Flame will have their lives and deaths controlled by Chu Sheng, and their personalities and underlying nature will be subtly changed, being able to deal with the strange flames of Sequence Seven is still something that Lin Bei and his group cannot achieve.

Even with significant side effects, this is still a life-saving device.

Possessing the Eternal Black Flame is, in a sense, equivalent to an ordinary person directly becoming a Sequence 8 ability user, and the kind of ability user who can kill a Sequence 7 weird ability user.

This is incredibly valuable.

If the ability user from that trading sequence hadn't been so far away, Chu Sheng would have even wanted Youming to drift towards their location.

"I don't know if they're lucky or unlucky to have met you," Hui said, glancing at Chu Sheng.

When Chu Sheng traded that black flame, he figured out Chu Sheng's scheme.

After all, they've been together for so long, so they understand each other's thoughts to some extent.

Chu Sheng glanced at him, his expression unchanged, and said, "Of course it's lucky."

"It's just a small team. According to your calculations, there are only four people, and only one of them is a newly awakened trading sequence ability user who doesn't have combat ability."

"They could have all died at any time. Now that I have Black Flame, as long as they don't encounter a Sequence Six anomaly, they can even kill a Sequence Seven anomaly. Their safety has increased countless times."

"And all they gave up were four useless life sources, which were essentially given to them for free."

"I don't even know if I can get my hands on that transaction sequence. If I don't, all my efforts will have been for nothing."

"Is this still not satisfactory?!"

“That makes sense.” Team Leader Hui nodded. “From this perspective, they did make a profit. According to my calculations, our chances of obtaining that sequence are less than 10%, or even lower.”
