Chapter 102 Liu Ruyan: I Want to Be the City Lord's Wife!
"Rare materials? I do have some, and besides..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's request, the First Elder frowned slightly and said, "I raise some pheasants at home. I wonder if we could exchange them?"
“One chicken can be exchanged for one ear of corn, and ten chickens can be exchanged for one seedling,” Xiao Yu nodded and said.
"One chicken for only one ear of corn?" The elder's face darkened.
"If you don't want to, you don't have to change it," Xiao Yu said indifferently.
He knew that the domestic chickens on Earth in his previous life evolved from wild chickens.
If we can tame some wild chickens, then Longcheng will have eggs to eat in the future.
However... although pheasants are not very common, there is still a chance to find them if you want to.
But Corncob is completely different; in the wasteland world, it's practically the only place like it!
Needless to say, corn seedlings are extremely rare and hard to come by for ordinary people!
"Alright..." In the end, the elder obviously realized this as well, and could only nod reluctantly, saying, "Then I'll trade you 10 chickens for one seedling."
He actually bought these chickens from passing merchants.
The merchants said that these chickens could lay eggs, and that eggs were a delicacy.
As a result... after raising them for almost two years, not a single one of these chickens laid an egg.
On the contrary, it consumed a large amount of food and water.
Trading a flock of non-laying hens for a single corn seedling is an incredible profit.
"I have a climbing vine. How much can I exchange it for?" the Fifth Elder asked.
"A climbing vine? A seedling, perhaps!" Xiao Yu said casually.
"This is too little! That plant is..." the Fifth Elder said, somewhat unwillingly.
"Is your plant more valuable than a third-tier ferocious beast?" Xiao Yu asked casually.
"This..." The Fifth Elder was speechless for a moment.
That plant is somewhat special, but it really can't compare to a third-tier ferocious beast!
A third-tier ferocious beast typically weighs no less than a thousand catties and can feed hundreds of people!
And those climbing plants, besides being succulents and quite ornamental, are nowhere near as good as them!
"Oh, right... I also need to remind you!"
Seeing that all the elders had chosen their goods and were no longer making any purchases, Xiao Yu pretended to have just remembered and said with a smile, "You should know that these plants are more precious than people, and watering them every day is essential."
Upon hearing this, the elders finally remembered.
Among the goods they just selected were quite a few plant seedlings.
They had planted seedlings before...
The reason why they can't grow or bear fruit is because of the lack of water.
"Don't worry, Dragon City has plenty of water. Two liters a bottle, 40 energy stones a bottle..." Seeing the elders' expressions gradually darkening, Xiao Yu spoke up at the right moment.
"I see!"
The elders exchanged glances and gave a wry smile.
I've always thought the Grand Elder was incredibly cunning.
But now, they feel that this Lord of Dragon City is even more cunning.
If they had told them sooner... they wouldn't have bought so many seedlings.
Now that we've bought so many seedlings, we'll have to spend even more money to buy a lot of water!
The only saving grace is that the water sources are crystal clear, something you can't get anywhere else!
"Sigh...we understand. We'll go back and retrieve the energy stones..." After the discussion, the elders all sighed helplessly and prepared to return to Divine Weapon City...
"Third Chief, you've come too?"
As soon as the elders went out, they saw the three leaders of Black Soil City arrive.
The three leaders got straight to the point, saying they wanted to make a deal with Xiao Yu.
Moreover... even Xiao Yu's former fiancée, Liu Ruyan, came.
Upon seeing this, the elders' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly ran away.
Just a moment ago I felt like I'd been tricked by Xiao Yu, but now...
They needed to hurry back to get the energy stones so they could quickly complete the transaction with Xiao Yu and receive the goods...
Only then can I feel at ease.
"Xiao Yu..." Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Liu Ruyan waved and called out with a charming smile.
Originally, she was very proud and arrogant...
But now... she has come to realize her mistake.
Especially... when Xiao Yu brought out a large quantity of top-quality delicacies such as corn and tomatoes, as well as a large amount of water...
Now, Liu Ruyan is convinced that Xiao Yu is a true chosen one, her Prince Charming.
Think back to how much Xiao Yu used to love and pamper her?
Liu Ruyan believes that love will not suddenly disappear!
Unless... he's no longer the Xiao Yu he used to be!
Therefore, Xiao Yu must still love her, but he was hurt too deeply by her.
As long as you humble yourself and apologize, he will definitely change his mind and come back to you.
In this way, she can obtain a large amount of top-quality food, water, and top-tier divine weapons and armor...
Liu Ruyan could almost see Xiao Yu falling head over heels for her again...
The idea is wonderful.
However... reality is always cruel.
Liu Ruyan didn't even have a chance to apologize.
"Honglian, you'll be in charge of receiving that guest," Xiao Yu said casually, waving his hand.
After saying that, he took the three leaders of Black Soil City to the side to discuss business.
If this woman hadn't come here to be a sucker and give away energy stones, he would have kicked her out long ago!
Liu Ruyan: “…”
You actually called me a guest?
Do not!
I don't want to be a guest, I want to be the city lord's wife!
"Xiao Yu! You stop right there!"
Liu Ruyan stamped her feet in anger and shouted at Xiao Yu with a resentful expression.
He wanted to chase after them again, but was stopped by Honglian and Xinglan.
“Miss… if you want to make a deal, we welcome you! But if you dare to cause trouble, don’t blame us for kicking you out!” Honglian reached out to stop the woman in front of her and said coldly.
However, she deeply despises anyone who has ever bullied her brother.
"You!" Liu Ruyan was furious.
She is currently at the peak of the fifth rank, while the two women are not much weaker than her, and they also possess divine weapons and armor...
She really can't beat her!
As for having a sixth-tier peak guard teach Honglian Xinglan a lesson, that's even more unacceptable.
This will only thoroughly enrage Xiao Yu...
"Hmph!" Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, gritted her teeth, and said directly, "I want 500 corn cobs! 500 tomatoes! 500 cabbages, and I also want..."
She bought a whole bunch of items in one go and casually tossed out a leather sack.
Liu Ruyan thought to herself... she was the daughter of a noblewoman from Hurricane City, she had no shortage of energy stones!
Since Xiao Yu likes energy stones, I'll just smash him to death with them!
One day, he will submit to me again and obey my every whim!
When the time comes... he'll have to pay back tenfold, a hundredfold, all those sacrifices!
Xiao Yu, of course, had no idea about her idiotic and bizarre idea.
If they knew, they would definitely say... "Go ahead and smash more if you dare!"
