Chapter 146: Fraudster
Seeing that everything was ready, Xiu Wu looked at the people waiting in line in front of the long table and asked, "Who wants to exchange the ore first?"
The burly man standing at the front placed the heavy sack he was carrying on the long table and said, "I come first."
He opened the sack, showed the black ore to Xiu Wu, and said, "I want to use these black ores to exchange for sweet potatoes and water."
After the burly man said that, Xiu Wu wanted to weigh the sack, but was stopped by Zhu Lin. Seeing her stopping Xiu Wu, the burly man asked in displeasure: "Miss, what are you waiting for? Quickly weigh the ore. It’s so hot today, and I want to go back early."
Zhu Lin ignored the burly man’s words, opened the sack and took out the black ore one by one. When the burly man saw what she was doing, his expression stiffened for a second, then he suddenly grabbed the sack and shouted angrily: "If you don’t believe me, then I won’t exchange the ore with you!"
Before he could grab the sack, Xiu Wu grabbed his wrist and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? If she wants to check the ores one by one, let her check slowly."
As soon as Xiu Wu finished speaking, Zhu Lin took out the stones one by one from the sack. People who were waiting in line were surprised to see that there were only a few black ores inside the sack, and the rest of the ore was actually stones.
After Zhu Lin emptied the sack, she weighed the black ore and said calmly: "There are two kilograms of black ore in total. You can exchange it for four hundred grams of food or four hundred milliliters of water. As for the stones, you can bring them back."
The burly man looked at her calm face and felt humiliated. He was actually trying to deceive them, but it was revealed easily by Zhu Lin. Out of humiliation and anger, he quickly put the black ore back into the sack and shouted angrily: "I don’t want to exchange the ore anymore!"
Just when the burly man was about to leave, Xiu Wu suddenly said, "Take away all your stones. Don’t leave rubbish here."
Knowing that the tall and handsome man in front of him is Captain Xiu, nicknamed the ’Cold-faced Demon King’, the burly man had no choice but to endure the humiliation. He put the stones back into the sack and ran away as fast as he could.
After the burly man left, Xiu Wu looked at the people in line in front of him coldly and said, "If I find someone trying to cheat again, don’t blame me for being rude."
Following his warning, several more people quietly left the line carrying heavy sacks. Xiu Wu ignored those people and said, "Next one."
When the last person left with a smile on his face, the sun was already tilting towards the west. Zhu Lin looked at the colorful ores inside the Qiankun bag and said, "Today is not bad. We got twice as much ore compared to when we set up our stall in the market area."
Xiu Wu also took a look at the black ore inside his Qiankun bag and said, "Although we got more ore today, we still lack a lot of black ore. It’s far from enough to build a wall around the resort area."
Zhu Lin nodded and said, "We can’t force this kind of thing. We should take our time and avoid making any mistakes."
"Mhm. You are right."
After Xiu Wu said that, the two of them began to clean up the stall. Just as Zhu Lin put the long table into her Qiankun bag, a military truck stopped at the side of the road. Looking at the military truck, Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin exchanged glances.
As far as they knew, only the military base had such military trucks. But there is no reason for the military base to visit their stall. When they stood under the bus stop, a handsome man wearing casual clothes and black hoodie got out of the military truck.
Seeing that Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin were still there, the handsome man walked up to them calmly. He stood in front of them and said, "Good evening. Can I still exchange ore with you?"
Hearing his question, Xiu Wu nodded and said, "Yes. Do you have any ore for sale?"
The handsome man nodded, and then motioned to his friend to unload the ore. Not long after, Zhu Lin saw a burly man walking over while carrying two large sacks on his shoulders. Putting the sack on the ground, the man stared at Zhu Lin with a trace of surprise on his face.
Seeing the man’s familiar reaction, Zhu Lin just nodded to him. The man scratched his head in embarrassment and walked away to unload more sacks from the military truck. Seeing him move several sacks without breaking a sweat, Xiu Wu knew that this man possessed strength system ability.
A few minutes later, the handsome man looked at Xiu Wu and said, "I want to use these ores in exchange for rice, vegetables, fruits and water."
After hearing his words, Xiu Wu looked at him for a few seconds, then looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, do you want to check the ore?"
Zhu Lin felt the spiritual energy emanating from the ores inside those sacks, shook her head and said, "No need. They didn’t cheat us."
The handsome man heard her words and looked at Zhu Lin. Seeing that his eyes stayed on her for a long time, Xiu Wu stepped in front of Zhu Lin to block his sight and said to the man: "Let’s weigh the ore first."
Since all he brought were black ores, it only took Xiu Wu a few minutes to weigh the ores. While Xiu Wu put all the sacks into his Qiankun bag, Zhu Lin took out fifty kilograms of rice, fifty kilograms of vegetables, twenty kilograms of fruits, and eighty liters of water.
