Chapter 347 Exchanging Resources (45)

She didn't dwell on the issue and changed the subject, "I've come here for two reasons. First, our Alliance of All Realms still has three vacant positions. We need to assess the potential of your home and see if you are qualified to join the Alliance of All Realms."

"Second, we exchange what we have and trade resources."

Shi Hu nodded, then turned to Zhang Meng, "Go back and tell the lord first."

"Okay, be careful." Zhang Meng lowered his voice.

But his deep voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.

It was as if he deliberately said this in front of the three of them.

The two men in black robes slightly raised their heads.

The woman glanced at Zhang Meng but didn't say much. She had seen plenty of roughnecks like him in the mountain stronghold; sometimes they just weren't thinking straight, and there was no need to argue with such people.

Upon returning home, Zhang Meng told his lord what had happened. After listening, Qin Ziwen seemed thoughtful. He turned to Jia Liangcai and asked, "Liangcai, do you think this is believable?"

Jia Liangcai countered, "My lord, can a person join two guilds at the same time?"

"Of course not."

"Are you willing to leave your current guild and join another guild?"

Qin Ziwen understood; the first question had been answered.

The second thing is to exchange what we have and what we lack, which is feasible.

Sometimes what is scarce to them may not be scarce to others. Judging from the conversation, the other side has experienced more maps than we have, so they should not lack rare items, right?

"Of course we're in need. Even for us, rare items are hard currency. Here's a free tip: between homesteads, rare items and extraordinary items are hard currency that will never go out of style. Activating certain buildings will permanently consume rare items, rare items can also be embedded in building cards, and the crafting of some items also requires rare items. Not to mention that some rare items themselves have magical effects."

"For a newly established home, food, wood, and iron ore are important, but after the initial learning phase, rare items become the mainstay. Consider this information a free gift," the woman said calmly.

"If you want rare items, you can either trade them or exchange them for extraordinary items. Forget about ordinary food and ironware; it's not worth exchanging them for. If I ask for a high price, you'll feel the pinch."

Zhang Meng returned home and relayed the woman's words.

Qin Ziwen thought for a moment and instructed Zhang Meng: "After you go out, first ask her if she has any aquatic artifacts. If she does, take out the Sky Fruit and the Deep Sea Oxygen and ask about the trade price. If she is unwilling to trade, then ask what the price is for trading aquatic artifacts with cards. I only want aquatic artifacts."

The woman waiting outside was getting impatient. "He's so timid. I came all this way myself, and he's still hiding inside. Is he even a man?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hu remained silent, though deep down he felt that his lord's actions were not problematic.

This woman looks fierce; it's best to be cautious.

Zhang Meng came out of the house and first asked the woman if she had any aquatic wonders.

"Of course there are. But hold on, let me ask you, what map are you on now?"

Zhang Meng pretended not to hear anything that went beyond what the main person had said.

His eyes were staring straight ahead, his eyes bulging out like a cross-eyed chicken.

The woman turned to look at Shi Hu again. Shi Hu lowered his head, his face serious, as if there was something good hidden in the fire at his feet.

Looking further to the left, a single-clawed dragon was squatting on the ground, digging in the soil and swatting away ants.

"."

The woman laughed in exasperation.

That's really cunning; they just stay silent when faced with difficult questions.

"It seems your lord doesn't want to join our Alliance of All Realms. I won't force you. There are rewards for members who recommend new members, so I went out of my way to do this. Since you don't want to join, just pretend I didn't ask."

"I have aquatic wonders, and even if I don't, I can trade with others in the alliance to get them for you. But what can you offer that will tempt me?" Zhang Meng took out the Sky Fruit and Deep Sea Oxygen from his pocket.

"Deep Sea Oxygen? It seems that eating this stuff allows you to breathe underwater for a short time. Someone in our alliance sells this. If you want to exchange it for a rare item, it's 600 coins! 600 coins at a time can be exchanged for one level-one rare item. This price is fair. After all, you need rare items, so I have to make a little profit," the woman said frankly.

Zhang Meng neither said yes nor no; in any case, he couldn't make the decision.

He'll just take the message back with him then.

Then he raised the giant fruit in his left hand, "What about this one?"

The woman herself wouldn't recognize them; the world is full of wonders, how could she possibly know them all?

But that doesn't prevent her from using insight.

【Motian Fruit (Extraordinary): It can increase body size, but the effect weakens with repeated use. After taking it, the mind will be temporarily closed and the thoughts will be slowed down for a short time.】

After the woman finished reading, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she said casually, "One of these can be exchanged for a level one rare item."

"Okay, I'll go back and relay the message right away." After saying that, Zhang Meng put the things back in his pocket and prepared to return home.

The woman called out to him, "Wait, where did you get these Sky Fruits? Do you have fruit trees?"

Zhang Meng turned his head, looking bewildered. "Huh? I don't know. These were all given to me by the lord. This is the first time I've seen them."

The woman paused for a moment, then added, "This stuff can increase body size, and in a sense, it can increase your foundation. But it also has side effects. It can't be taken repeatedly, and there are also side effects after taking it. You'll become an idiot for a long time. If you could take it without limit, its value would double, but right now it's only worth this price."

Zhang Meng just kept nodding, not saying anything more.

Watching his retreating figure as he entered the house, the woman narrowed her eyes, surprised by the unexpected gain.

Among different animals, size represents fighting ability.

This Sky Fruit can increase body size, making it a treasure that can compensate for innate deficiencies.

Any treasure that can compensate for one's innate talent is worthless.

Even with side effects, there will still be a huge number of people flocking to it.

Anyway, the side effects aren't permanent, and even if they were, it wouldn't be a big problem. For some superiors, weapons just need to obey orders; being too smart is bad, and being a little stupid is a good thing.

After returning home, Zhang Meng relayed the woman's words.

After listening, Qin Ziwen and Jia Liangcai exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

They spoke at the same time,
"It seems this Sky Fruit is a good thing."

"The value of the 'Motian Fruit' is considerable."

Judging from the deep-sea oxygen, this woman is quite aggressive in bargaining. She knows he has needs, so she's asking for an exorbitant price and acts like she's got him wrapped around her little finger.

Under these circumstances, Sky Fruit can still offer a one-for-one exchange price.

This only shows that the value of the Sky Fruit is not low.

That would be fine.

Before Zhang Meng left, she made a point of emphasizing it again, trying her best to facilitate the deal.

This shows that the value of the Sky Fruit in her possession could be increased at least several times over.

I never expected that the fruit tree I randomly dug out in the cave on the initial map would turn out to be a hen that lays golden eggs.
