Chapter 629: Surprising gains (2)
The moment Ye Zhongming got close, he heard some people talking. They should be trading. This surprised him. After all, the outstanding people in the camp were called for a meeting, and the poor people didnt look like they could afford things.
He passed the grey tent and saw a flattened ground. Dozen people were squatting or standing there. Among them was one male and female bargaining with a cunning-looking old man. The others were just gathered around.
When they saw Ye Zhongming, the negotiation stopped. The two of them were anxious, and after saying two sentences and seeing the old man shake his head, they bit their teeth and took out a three-star potion to complete the trade.
Ye Zhongmings eyes were sharp, and he saw that they had a small bottle and several seeds in it.
Although he didnt understand why they were so nervous and couldnt understand, he continued looking at the others. He saw they didnt display items, so he said, I want to trade for things.
These people didnt say anything and sized up Ye Zhongming. They glanced at each other before a middle-aged guy moved over.
Brother, you look foreign.
Although Ye Zhongmings clothing was dirty, it wasnt tattered; the base was still very clean. His face didnt look white from living underground for so many days, and instead, he seemed very healthy.
Although the light was dim, but evolved could see him. So, these merchants were more sensitive to his identity than survivors who were struggling to survive.
I just came; Yang Yixi and Ah Hai brought me here.
Hearing the two names Ye Zhongming mentioned, those people relaxed, and their wariness was reduced by more than half.
Although there were outsiders, for example, the air that traded, they knew each other. The two were from Anhu Underground City, and they had heard of each other.
Since Yang Yixi brought Ye Zhongming over, he should be safe. As for why he was foreign, maybe he was from another part of the city.
What do you want to buy?
The middle-aged man had only to confirm his safety and didnt care about anything else. He didnt get business every day, but he got two today. He was more happy than wary.
Not sure; I want to see what you have.
Walking around the market of a new camp was his habit in his last life. This was also the habit of other survivors.
The few of them looked at each other again and knew what they meant. This newbie has some riches.
A few of them displayed their items for Ye Zhongming to select.
Every place had its specialties. For example, Cloud Port had ocean-related equipment and skills. There were more water element abilities there.
Ye Zhongming didnt know about the Death King Tree and Life-Taking Carrot. He also didnt know about the tree zombies. This made him think that there was something here that he had never seen before.
He looked at the things they displayed. There were many. There were scrolls, potions, and weapons, but they were mostly equipment from the wheels. But Ye Zhongming werent interested in them because of their level, the highest was only white grade.
He was interested in some materials that probably came from those tree zombies.
As businessmen, they knew how to observe expressions. Seeing how calm he was, they knew he had seen good things in his past. They could complete a few deals today.
How much do they cost?
Ye Zhongming pointed at the bunch of materials from the tree zombies.
You want that?
That middle-aged man was in disbelief. Even the pair that were about to leave were shocked.
Seeing Ye Zhongming nod, that middle-aged man laughed, If you want, you can take them all for a one-star potion.
The others didnt react when they heard what the middle-aged man said, but they felt like his price was too high in their hearts. If one took a risk and went to the surface a few times, they didnt have to kill the zombies; they could just pick them up. They picked them previously to burn and use for fuel.
A bunch of timber for a one-star potion, he was scamming this young man.
Okay!
But under their shocked gazes, Ye ZHongming agreed. He took a one-star potion from his bag and passed it.
The middle-aged man didnt expect him not to bargain. After being momentarily stunned, he took the potion and looked very excited.
The pair shook their heads. They thought the young man was from the Third Charging Team and was here to cause trouble like them. But they didnt think he was a fool who wanted to pick up trash.
Do you have better? Ye Zhongming looked at these people and expressed that if this were it, he would leave.
Old Jia! The middle-aged man said. Old Jia had the best items here and usually wouldnt take them out. But this person was rich, and his precious items might find a buyer.
Old Jia was the old man who traded with that pair. He crossed his arms and looked. When he heard the middle-aged man call him, he smiled and gave a cunning smile. He waved at Ye Zhongming and took a box from behind him. He opened it after Ye Zhongming got closer.
Seven to eight things were in the box, and their quality was much better than before, but Ye Zhongming didnt think too highly about them. Right when he was about to give up, he saw a few scrolls in the other bag in his hands.
What is that?
Old Jia didnt expect Ye Zhongming to care about his scrolls than those in the box.
Although the scrolls were decent, they werent extremely good items. They also had many restrictions, so not many asked about them. He bought them for a low price from others with a gambling mentality but failed to sell them. He had no hopes of selling them anymore.
Now that Ye Zhongming asked, he passed them to him.
Ye Zhongming opened the bag and took a look. He was disappointed. They werent precious items. This was until he opened the final one.
He saw a recipe: Intermediate Human Puppet Technique!
