Chapter 96: Transaction

Inside the small box, there was a crystal nucleus as big as a thumb lying on the black cloth. Sensing the spiritual energy emitting from the crystal nucleus that was ten times denser than the second rank crystal nucleus, the corner of Zhu Lin’s lips curved up slightly.

She closed the box and said, "Thank you for delivering this today."

Seeing that she was very satisfied with the crystal nucleus, Mao Yan smiled and said, "Now that the thing has been delivered, let’s get down to business. I want to buy as much water and food as Miss Zhu has. The price is negotiable, but I need the supplies urgently. Miss Zhu, are you interested in this deal?"

In the past few days, Zhu Lin had stocked up a lot of water and food. She nodded and said, "I heard that there are two third rank crystal nucleus in the base."

Mao Yan’s heart sank after hearing her words. After being silent for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "Miss Zhu is joking. It is already difficult for us to obtain one third rank crystal nucleus. Where can we get another one? Moreover, being able to encounter level three zombies also requires luck."

Zhu Lin glanced at Tu Tu who was lying on her lap, and Tu Tu said, [He is lying.]

Hearing what Tu Tu said, she smiled slightly and said, "Commander Mao, when doing business, lying is a bad way to start."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mao Yan’s face suddenly froze. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "Miss Zhu, you also know that we only have two third rank crystal nucleus. Since we have already given you one, only one is left for research purposes. Although I really want to give it to you, but I really can’t."

After he said that, Zhu Lin glanced at Tu Tu and Tu Tu said, [He is telling the truth.]

Zhu Lin thought for a while and said, "Since Commander Mao said so, let’s change the payment."

Hearing what she said, Mao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, please speak freely. What do you want?"

She thought for a while and said, "I don’t lack anything for the time being, but if Commander Mao has wood element, ice element, and water element crystal nucleus, I will be happy to accept them as your payment."

Hearing what she said, Mao Yan frowned slightly. From the reports he received this morning, Zhu Lin only has space system ability. But since she specifically named those elements, they must have missed something when they investigated her.

’Does she really have dual abilities as rumored?’

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Zhu Lin added, "If it’s troublesome, ordinary second rank crystal nucleus will do."

After hearing her words, Mao Yan came back to his senses and said quickly, "There is no problem in preparing the second rank crystal nucleus. It’s just... How many crystal nucleus does Miss Zhu want?"

Zhu Lin looked at the Qiankun bag tied on her waist belt with her divine senses, roughly calculated the amount of food and water inside, and then said, "Three hundred second rank crystal nucleus in exchange for five thousand kilograms of food and ten thousand barrels of water."

Mao Yan was very surprised after hearing what she said. While the amount of food and water is nowhere near enough to feed everyone on the base, it’s amazing how much food and water can be produced by Zhu Lin alone in just a few days.

After a moment of silence, Mao Yan coughed slightly and asked, "Miss Zhu, When can we collect the food and water?"

Zhu Lin looked at the four soldiers standing behind Mao Yan and knew that they were all supernatural beings. Since they came here tonight with Mao Yang, she knew that they all had space abilities.

"Once Commander Mao pays, I can immediately hand over the food and water." She said calmly.

Mao Yan nodded, then looked at one of the soldiers and said, "Give her the crystal core."

Mao Yan then looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Miss Zhu, today I only prepared ordinary second rank crystal nucleus. But next time, I will prepare wood element, ice element, and water element crystal nucleus as you requested."

After he finished speaking, the soldier took out a bag from his space and placed it on the table. Zhu Lin opened the bag and saw countless transparent second rank crystal nucleus inside. She closed the bag and said, "Let’s get started."

After saying that, she stood up and began to take out a large number of plastic barrels from the Qiankun bag. Seeing those plastic barrels, the soldiers quickly put them into their own space. Luckily, she sent Tu Tu to find these plastic barrels to store water two days ago. If not, it would be very troublesome for her to sell water to Mao Yan today.

Half an hour later, Zhu Lin said, "That was ten thousand barrels of water. I will take out the food now."

Before the soldiers could take a rest, Zhu Lin took out countless bags of corn, potatoes, and wheat. Twenty minutes later, Mao Yan and the soldiers left Zhu Lin’s apartment with bright smiles on their faces. With so much food and water, if managed well, they could survive until the supply teams returned.

After sending Mao Yan and the soldiers away, Zhu Lin stared at the closed door opposite of her apartment unit. She thought for a moment, walked to the closed door, and knocked. She waited for several minutes, but no one opened the door.

When she was hesitating whether to knock on the door again or not, Meng Zhelan and Wen Na came out of their apartment together. Meng Zhelan saw her standing in front of Xiu Wu’s apartment and asked, "Elder Sister, are you looking for Captain Xiu?"
