Zinc alloy?

Lin Yue glanced at the bidder, Fei Yue.

Not Xia Feihong, nor Guo Lei, just a strange name, a strange avatar.

Opening the private chat, Lin Yue saw his message.

"Lin Yue, I have 20 pieces of zinc alloy and 10 pieces of hard aluminum alloy. What I want in exchange is like this: 5 kg of Chinese cabbage, 3 kg of chives, 10 radishes, 20 onions, 10 liters of water. Plus a long-term collaboration. If you need it, please contact me."

pieces of zinc alloy, 10 pieces of hard aluminum alloy!

Lin Yue wasn’t really picky about the alloy materials; aluminum alloy or zinc alloy, as long as the quantity was enough.

After all, his mechanical arm needed alloys, the Alloy Shelter needed alloys, robots needed alloys, and even small drones and gates needed alloys.

In short, there was quite a gap in this aspect.

And the other party had 20 pieces of zinc alloy and 10 pieces of hard aluminum alloy, nearly meeting some of his needs.

Moreover, the items the other party wanted were things he had plenty of in storage and were relatively easy to acquire!

"Just needing a few things like that, much less demanding than Guo Lei’s appetite."

Rather than risking danger in the Secret Realm to find those alloys, it was more convenient and cost-effective to trade them like this.

Everything was in his Storage Space, so... might as well trade via private chat!

Wait, ask if there’s any surplus?

...

"Fei Yue, you’re asking for too much, why didn’t you discuss it with me first?" In the shelter, an elderly man shook his head, "No one will have so many resources, and water is so scarce now, yet you want so many vegetables... sigh!"

Fei Yue couldn’t help but lower his head: "Third Master, I really messed this up. I previously saw him wanting to trade 1 kg of Chinese cabbage for cam toys and thought it was doable, so this time when I saw him seeking alloy, I asked for so many things."

"Foolish, never mind the water, but where do you think vegetables are so easy to get? Do you know how much water is needed to grow a seed to maturity? Not to mention water-needy radishes and onions. Can Lin Yue produce these things? He’s not some god! How much can one person grow? 1 kg of Chinese cabbage is more precious than anything in this world! Are you mad for asking so much? Did you forget what happened when we tried to cultivate a vegetable garden in the shelter?"

Outside their shelter, quite a bit of land had been cultivated.

Even after watering the survival point exchanged seeds that were sown, nothing really grew.

In another corner of the room lies a wooden planting box where a very thin layer of humus soil supports some seedlings of canola; however, it’s still some days away from maturity.

"This Otherworld isn’t suitable for human life at all." Third Master shook his head.

Indeed it wasn’t.

Compared to the Earth which boasted exceptionally diverse organisms, the resources here couldn’t even be described as "scarce."

There isn’t no water at all here, but whether it’s the streams, rivers, or lakes, the deep green hue of the water proves it’s not drinkable.

The variety of plants is monotonous and repetitive, very few fruit-bearing trees or herbaceous plants, and even if there are, it’s too risky to eat them; unknown things are filled with dangers, who knows if the first bite would be one’s last.

The burly man nearby sighed, "Third Master, indeed, here even the normal water can’t be acquired, you can’t grow vegetables, no fruits either, if you want to eat, it’s only those synthetic monster-like mutated creatures’ meat, now many of us show symptoms of scurvy, what shall we do in the future?"

Inside the massive shelter, a few of the people had pale faces, and sunken eye sockets, with bruises and blotches on their arms.

Having not eaten any fruits or vegetables for over two weeks, those with weaker constitutions already had early symptoms of scurvy, if this goes on, they might someday find their weakened bodies at eternal rest in this Otherworld.

Fei Yue regretted it, he priced things too high.

Vegetables were such precious items, yet he asked for so many, and water was just a number he reported without thinking.

Those hard aluminum alloys and zinc alloys were obtained when they first explored the Secret Realm, left lying in the corner unused, not even having related design blueprints, or tools for cutting, just left there to gather dust.

It seemed to make sense back then to stockpile more, and they took a total of 50 pieces in succession, but now it looks completely useless.

If not for discovering the transaction panel where Lin Yue, who caught his "special attention," posted a trade request for alloys, he might have thrown these things away when deemed worthless.

"Third Master, I erred, what should I do?" Fei Yue lowered his head.

"Alloys are good things, but they need to be used properly. We’re barely managing life here; what use is holding onto such stuff? Lin Yue is advancing quickly, let him use it for now, let’s survive first, keep these thirty-plus lives intact, what alloy can’t we get later?" Third Master sighed, "Think ahead; if I’m not around in the future, what peace could I have if you keep acting like this? Thirty-plus lives, if short-sighted, won’t survive here."

"I understand, Master." Fei Yue nodded.

"Lin Yue is something else, none of you can match him, several put together wouldn’t compare. Regardless of how he got so many resources or even managed to manufacture computers and exoskeletons, he’s anyhow capable, you must respect that. Out of all your demands, only the part about collaboration seems reasonable; partnership requires sincerity. Taking losses is okay for now; when he becomes stronger in the future, leaning on him will gain you favor, this isn’t shameful, being adaptable is key to survival."

"Alright, I’ll reduce the terms by half, or agree with his counter-offer."

The Third Master nodded, gesturing the burly man to help him sit.

The burly man suddenly said, "Dayue, hope he doesn’t blacklist you; you know Guo Lei was crying about being blacklisted by Lin Yue for asking too much."

Fei Yue nodded, that was true; Guo Lei was repetitive in the group like a broken record saying Lin Yue was hot-tempered, not easy to provoke, better not make trouble with this big shot during trades.

"I understand." Fei Yue knew what to do now.

He opened the trade panel, just in time to see Lin Yue’s reply.

"He, he replied!" Fei Yue couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the private message display.

The Third Master raised his head, "What did he say? Agree to his counter-offer!"

Fei Yue nodded excitedly and opened the private message.

"He asked how much alloy I have left."

"Be honest, 21 pieces of hard aluminum alloy, 29 pieces of zinc alloy, let him haggle, we’re not losing anything! If necessary, just give them to him, it’s not like we made much effort getting them, ensuring he owes us a favor!" Third Master glanced at a corner in the room at the dust-gathering alloys, taking up space.

Fei Yue hurriedly responded accordingly, and right after, Lin Yue replied again.

But the content left him momentarily doubting his eyes, with mouth agape.

The burly man anxiously said, "What’s his reply? Don’t just stand there, speak!"

"He, he said..."

"What did he say? Tell us!" The Third Master urged, getting anxious.

"He said he wants all of them, giving us 5 kg of Chinese cabbage, 5 kg of chives, 30 radishes, 30 onions, 15 liters of water..."

"What!" The Third Master almost fell off his chair, "Impossible! How can he have so many vegetables and water!"

However, when Fei Yue listed all the alloys onto the panel according to Lin Yue’s terms, with the trade successful, the entire shelter fell into silence.

Fei Yue placed the vegetables and water on the ground, everyone stared at the green Chinese cabbage and chives, crisp white radish, plump onions, and those 25 bottles of 600ml water, incredulous that this was real.

Lin Yue not only had Fei Yue’s strict demand items but even had far more than they imagined!

The Third Master panted heavily, "Lin Yue, what kind of person is Lin Yue?!"
