Chen Ye held the big monk's "Qi Devouring Technique" and stared blankly for a long ti.
It wasn't until the big monk called Chen Ye's na several tis that Chen Ye finally snapped out of it.
Gripping the "Qi Devouring Technique" in his hand, Chen Ye tried his best to keep his expression indifferent and said, "Big monk, how do you want to trade for this?"
"One hundred and fifty catties of rice, or equivalent supplies!"
"Preferably items still within their shelf life."
As expected, most people in Divine Elephant Village were desperately in need of supplies.
This village, which housed a thousand people, had reached a certain level of material scarcity.
Even though there were over a hundred people constantly working in the planting base at the village's end, it still couldn't et the needs of the entire village.
Hearing the big monk's demand, Chen Ye felt sowhat dismissive in his heart.
Half had already been taken by Chu Che earlier, and now giving out this much more.
His own supplies would shrink by more than half.
Although he greatly admired the big monk's spirit of dedication.
But Chen Ye only admired it;
he had no intention of learning from it. At all tis, he always put himself first.
Chen Ye thought for a mont and said, "Big monk, I can't possibly give you that many supplies!"
"Especially things still within their shelf life!"
"That's even more impossible."
A flicker of disappointnt passed over the big monk's face.
He was already calculating in his heart just how much would be appropriate to get.
Sun Xixi glanced at Chen Ye. Through the big monk's earlier description, Sun Xixi had already understood the cultivation principle of the "Qi Devouring Technique."
It's just that this cultivation thod wasn't suitable for her.
She also didn't understand why Chen Ye absolutely wanted this thing.
But she wisely didn't say much more.
After all, every Sequence had its own secrets.
Theoretically, every Sequence had its own unique cultivation thod. So Sequences needed to figure it out themselves, so Sequences inherently knew how to cultivate from birth, and for other Sequences, cultivation was simply an instinct.
After all, it hadn't been long since the apocalypse began until now.
Much knowledge about Sequences was missing.
And there were no online sources of information now either.
Therefore, this copy of the "Qi Devouring Technique" seed even more precious.
Perhaps when humanity recovered to a certain extent, one could simply tap a keyboard a few tis on a computer to obtain a complete cultivation thod suitable for their own Sequence.
But not now...
Even two people of the sa Sequence couldn't be completely identical.
The Pink-haired Girl was the top expert in the convoy. If another Sword Immortal Sequence user appeared, even if they were at the sa Sequence level, they probably couldn't achieve what the Pink-haired Girl could.
So, the "Qi Devouring Technique" was considered the big monk's treasure, sothing he kept for a rainy day.
"A little less is also acceptable!"
The big monk carefully considered his words, speaking sowhat cautiously.
Chen Ye thought for a mont and said, "Big monk, I have a Wonder. If you agree, we can trade!"
"A Wonder? What type, what's its ranking number?"
Hearing about a Wonder, the big monk didn't speak, but the Slovenly Daoist Priest next to him beca interested, his crafty eyes gleaming.
"Firearm type, ranking number 7125!"
"Number over seven thousand... this... maybe take a look?"
The Daoist priest hesitated and said.
Chen Ye glanced at the big monk.
The monk nodded: "As long as it's suitable, a trade isn't impossible!"
Chen Ye waved his hand, signaling Xue Nan to go get the Hemorrhoid Sniper, no, the Fatal Sniper, and bring it over!
Seeing it was actually a large sniper rifle, the Daoist priest's eyes lit up.
You have to know, firearm-type Wonders weren't common. Even if the ranking number wasn't high, they were still hot commodities!
Or rather, all Wonders or Wonder Materials were hot commodities.
Firearm types were the hottest of the hot commodities.
If it weren't for this Hemorrhoid Sniper's side effect being truly disgusting, Chen Ye wouldn't have brought it out.
The Daoist priest snatched it from Xue Nan's hands, caressing the cold gun body lovingly, his face wearing an expression of wild joy.
However, later, under the gaze of everyone watching with amusent.
The expression on the Daoist priest's face slowly beca stiff, even twitching a bit.
The Pink-haired Girl even couldn't help but let out a "pfft" laugh.
The Pink-haired Girl naturally knew the inside story of the Fatal Sniper.
The Daoist priest's face flushed red.
Of course, a transaction was finally reached.
Because this gun's side effect was simply too unbearable to endure, Chen Ye supplented the deal with ten catties of flour, one expired fruit can, one expired at can, and one pack of expired Qiwei biscuits, thus concluding this transaction.
Chen Ye also got his wish and obtained this copy of the "Qi Devouring Technique."
The subsequent transactions didn't involve any more Wonders or materials.
So of Chen Ye's non-essential supplies were all traded away.
In Chen Ye's view, many non-essential things were, but in Divine Elephant Village, they were all scarce supplies.
For example, a bottle of baijiu Chen Ye had been allocated earlier wasn't any famous brand;
before the apocalypse, it would have cost at most a few dozen yuan.
But in the eyes of the Slovenly Daoist Priest.
The Slovenly Daoist Priest traded two Five Thunder Talismans for it.
Things like cigarettes and alcohol, among many survivors who had no interest in these two things, were considered space-occupying garbage, dispensable.
Many survivors gathering supplies simply wouldn't take these things.
But in the eyes of others, these were all good stuff.
The Five Thunder Talismans that previously required fifty catties of rice to obtain.
Now, one bottle of alcohol got two.
Also, a few extra down jackets Chen Ye had casually taken earlier were also traded by the Slovenly Daoist Priest using two Thunder Summoning Talismans for one jacket.
Down jackets still served so purpose in Divine Elephant Village.
After all, the nights in Divine Elephant Village were quite cold.
Iron Lion's side, having the most people, also had the most abundant supplies.
Things like washbasins, diapers, shampoo, monosodium glutamate, Lao Gan Ma, thermos bottles, etc...
There was nothing Divine Elephant Village didn't want.
Of course, Iron Lion also obtained so things from the Daoist priest's side, like peach wood swords, Thunder Summoning Talismans, Cleaning Talismans, Evil-Dispelling Talismans, and the like.
Before the apocalypse, you could buy all this stuff with one trip to the supermarket downstairs.
But now, even though the Superhumans of Divine Elephant Village had scavenged for supplies several tis, it still wasn't enough.
Even those brand new, unopened fruit phones that could only be used as bricks were traded for a few by them.
Saying they wanted to use them as caras.
The big monk even took a fancy to the solar energy system on Chen Ye's vehicle roof.
However, the big monk couldn't produce anything else that would tempt Chen Ye's heart, so he could only regretfully give up.
The trading session continued until the horizon was filled with colorful clouds of sunset, only then slowly coming to an end.
Just after coming out of the parking lot.
Chen Ye saw several seven or eight-year-old children circling around the big monk and the Daoist priest.
The Daoist priest chuckled as he opened a pack of White Rabbit candies to distribute to the children.
"Don't rush, everyone gets so, everyone gets so."
This kind of milk candy was affordable to everyone before the apocalypse, almost within easy reach.
But now, it had beco a rare treat for the children.
This surprised Chen Ye sowhat.
He knew before that Divine Elephant Village had so children, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
You have to know, there wasn't a single child in the convoy.
Looking at it this way, Divine Elephant Village was indeed much better than the convoy;
at least these children could still survive.
"He's a good Village Chief! If it weren't for him, this place wouldn't be like this!"
The Pink-haired Girl's voice held a touch of wistfulness.
"What, you want to stay?"
Chen Ye teased, looking at the Pink-haired Girl.
"Forget it, I'm more suited to a migratory life. The days in Divine Elephant Village are too comfortable."
