"So... so what?" Hu Er seed to know he was in the wrong and said guiltily, "Anyway, you're the eldest brother, you have to take care of our food and drink!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Hu San nodded again, "I'm hungry!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Kota was furious and yelled "shut up" while knocking Hu San on the head, exasperatedly saying, "Shouldn't we finish the work before eating?"
"Oh right, this can't be delayed!"
Hu Er finally rembered that he still had serious business to do: "Our new boss's first task, we can't ss it up at this mont."
Li Zheng had already heard their bickering, and when the three tiger brothers ca over, he asked discontentedly, "What were you yelling about at the door just now? Work not done?"
Kota first rambled on, then realized he'd forgotten to adjust his translation tool and quickly fixed it, before saying again, "It's done, we've brought Basil... huh? Where's that little Vine Race mber?"
Pointing to his side, he found that Basil, who was following him, was nowhere to be seen.
"Bro, over there." Hu San nudged Kota's waist, pointing outside.
Everyone turned to look, and it turned out Basil had brought a large pile of various fruits from the warehouse, dumped them in front of the three brothers, and said, "These were returned due to poor appearance, if you don't mind, you can have so first."
"Hehe, great, there's food!" Hu San sat down and unabashedly grabbed two fruits to start munching, juices dribbling down his chin.
Hu Er was irritated, smacking him with a stick, scolding, "Shaful! Since when did we Tagore beco a vegetarian race? And you can even stomach this!"
"But it's really tasty!" Hu San lifted two fruits, "Big brother, second brother, you should try them, the taste is pretty good!"
Kota slled the fruit aroma and swallowed so saliva, "No manners, what does that look like? Let the boss eat first!"
Saying that, he grabbed one and respectfully offered it to Li Zheng, "Boss, please!"
"No need, you go ahead."
Li Zheng shook his head and refused, glancing at the pile of fruit, and noticed that there were only descriptions targeting taste, and none could develop Genetic Force.
This was different from the Matrix, where there were more plants that could develop Genetic Ability, and fewer things purely for satisfying tastebuds.
"I better report the work to the boss first before eating."
Kota put down the fruit and then explained to Li Zheng the various prices he found out from the black market.
The items sold on the black market, because most were produced in the sa district, had prices much cheaper than the officially recognized channels.
For example, Oxytocin, which costs a thousand White Crystal Coins for a hundred grams through official channels, might only cost two hundred White Crystal Coins on the black market.
However, this price isn't the only reference point, as all prices on the black market fluctuate, and sotis a hundred grams of Oxytocin could sell close to official prices.
"The production of Interdiate Cultivation Liquid is minimal, we asked several vendors and only found about a liter, priced at two thousand White Crystal Coins per hundred milliliters."
"I tried to bargain with the vendor, but they won't budge from fifteen hundred White Crystal Coins, so we're using this as a standard price, do you think it's okay?" Basil chid in.
Fifteen hundred, a thirty percent discount would be one thousand fifty, almost equivalent to the officially recognized oxytocin price.
