The resources in Kujing City are very scarce.
After Yang Jian and others came back, they reported their inquiries.
The market here is very simple, with few merchants and only a few types of items for sale.
In terms of food, the main food is highland barley, a cold-resistant and heat-resistant crop.
There are also some meat products, mainly raised mutton, with some unknown insect meat.
There is only one kind of fruit called guaizao, which looks like a tree root.
It tastes sweet when chewed and tastes pretty good.
In other respects, there are only some crude cold weapons and a few mutant beast materials for sale.
Most goods are traded by barter.
Of course, the crystal core is the currency in circulation.
In addition, there is also a kind of banknote circulating locally, called dragon coin.
Dragon Coin, as the name suggests, is the currency issued by Dragon City.
Yang Jian took out a dragon coin with a face value of ten yuan and handed it to Li Ba: "Boss, the currency value of this ten yuan dragon coin is equivalent to a second-level crystal core, but its purchasing power is not as good as one yuan of Chinese currency."
From what he found out, ten yuan of dragon coins could only buy one pound of grain and two taels of meat in Kujing City.
However, in the Hua League, the currency value of one Chinese dollar is equivalent to one first-level crystal core, which can buy one pound and two taels of grain.
It can be seen that the Chinese currency is strong and has much stronger purchasing power than the dragon currency.
The reason is very simple.
Hua Meng is rich in food and has abundant food resources of all kinds.
On the contrary, food is scarce here.
If converted according to the crystal core, the currency value of the two currencies is almost the same.
But when it comes to purchasing power, Dragon Coin is far behind.
"Also, boss, you don't know that the water here can be sold for money."
When Yang Jian said this, he looked at Wu Qing mischievously and said: "Elder brother drank half a bottle of water.
He gave it to a little girl, and they actually dragged him into the house.
Hey, let him feel good for a while."
Wu Qing shrugged and said, "That girl smells a bit too strong.
She's not my cup of tea, brother."
"If it were your food, you would have some ideas," Catwoman said from the side, with a somewhat unkind look on her face.
Wu Qing quickly waved her hand and expressed her attitude: "Sister, I have Shirley, and other women are indifferent to me."
"That's pretty much it," Catwoman snorted.
This time she went north to Dragon City with her boss, and she had another task, which was to keep an eye on this brave little prince for her good sister.
Of course Wu Qing knew it.
Along the way.
Be honest and don't dare to do anything deviant.
Food is expensive, but water can be sold for money.
It can only explain one thing: there is a shortage of food and water resources here.
Li Ba didn't think much and directly called Yang Jian to ask Ma Youzhai, the leader of Kujing City, to come over.
When Ma Youzhai walked into the yard, he was shocked by the various food supplies neatly stacked in the yard.
In my memory, this group of people didn’t bring much luggage.
Where did they get so much supplies?
Before Ma Youzhai could think too much, Li Ba smiled and led him to a pile of sacks.
Liang Jie raised his hand and made a stroke with his fingertips.
The sack burst and white rice flowed out.
This rice is different from ordinary rice.
The rice grains are slender and plump.

It looks like white silver beans.
Mutated food Ma Youzhai could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary rice.
But mutated rice.
"Chief Ma, I have five tons of mutated grains and fruits here.
In addition to various dried fish and meat, as well as processed fruit juices, the quantity should be more than ten tons."
Li Ba introduced with a smile.
Then the trading conditions are issued.
The price he gave was very favorable.
Of course, this was compared to the price in Kujing City and was several times higher than the selling price in Hua League. jade crystal core Li Ba only wanted these two things.
The survivors of Kujing City can exchange for as many supplies as they can give.
Crystal cores are the currency in the last days.
But jade has almost no value in the last days.
Therefore, when Ma Youzhai heard the transaction conditions or transaction methods offered by the other party, he was really shocked.
Visually look at the piles of various supplies, especially those mutated grains, mutated fruits, and bottled mutated juices.
Ma Youzhai's face was full of surprise and he couldn't hold it back.
"Wait a moment, I will notify everyone and come over to trade."
After regaining consciousness, Ma Youzhai dropped his ass and left.
In about half an hour, the survivors of Kujing City began to gather in a steady stream.
The first was Ma Youzhai, who took a hundred people with him to the courtyard where Li Ba settled down to rest.
Among these people, there were a few carrying bundles wrapped in sheets.
After opening them, they were filled with hundreds of jade ornaments, jingling and jingling.
Taken together, there are hundreds of kilograms of jade.
Ma Youzhai just returned and asked his men to collect these from the residents of the city.
In the last days, jade is useless and has almost no value.
Therefore, the survivors of Kujing City had a limited amount of jade on hand.
That’s all included.
After weighing it, the jade from Kujing City, which was like junk, was actually exchanged for three large sacks of mutated rice.
Ma Youzhai was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Afterwards, he took out a lot of crystal cores and exchanged a total of nearly a ton of food supplies from Li Ba.
After that, it was the turn of the other survivors of Kujing City.
Yang Jian and others got busy, some making estimates and some distributing.
By mid-afternoon, all transactions were completed.
Although Kujing City is small and does not have many jade resources, the residents have a lot of crystal cores on hand.
In one transaction, Li Ba obtained tens of thousands of crystal cores.
The cost was less than five tons of food supplies.
Although they are basically low-level crystal cores below level three, if they were replaced by Hua Meng, they would still be enough to purchase more than a dozen tons of food supplies.
But in Kujing City, Li Ba only spent one-third of his food resources in exchange for so many crystal nuclei.
The profits can be imagined.
Even so, the survivors of Kujing City were still extremely excited and all of them were smiling.
The reason is simple.
For Li Ba, he has sold at a high price.
But for Kujing City, the price of the food materials he sells is at least 30% lower than the local market price.
Moreover, these food supplies are of high quality, which are rare in the north.
It was of high quality and low price.
They all thought they had made a profit, and of course they were very excited.

There are more than five tons of food supplies left, and Li Ba has no intention of giving them away for free.
Instruct Yang Jian and others to put it away and prepare to set off.
He originally had the intention of testing the waters in a small settlement like Kujing City.
Now that the effect has been achieved, there is no intention of staying any longer.
The satellite cities under Longcheng are his main trading targets.
According to Fu Changfeng, to become a satellite city of Dragon City, the population of survivors must reach at least 300,000.
The resource base of such a large settlement city is at least a hundred times stronger than that of Kujing City.
Only when you get there can you make a lot of money and make a fortune When Li Ba ordered his men to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
Ma Youzhai looked at the food supplies placed in the courtyard with a look of reluctance on his face.
At the same time, he secretly regretted it.
Half a month ago, he led people to eliminate a group of corpses in a nearby town.
The operation went smoothly, most of the corpses were killed, and the rest escaped.
The town was captured, and while collecting supplies, he saw many jade ornaments, which were thrown away as waste by his men.
Jade cannot be eaten and has no use except for its slight ornamental value.
Who would have thought that now we could exchange food and supplies with these people.
Moreover, the value is greater than ordinary crystal nuclei If he had known this, even if he gave up collecting zombie crystal cores, he would have collected all the jade in the town.
Now, when these people want to leave, he is the most reluctant to leave and tries his best to keep them.
In just three days, he can take people to the surrounding uninhabited towns and collect a large amount of jade.
However, it was impossible for Li Ba to stay in this small place for three days.
If he had this time, he could lead a team to kill them by himself, and he would still be able to collect jade without a single grain of food.
Time is precious to Li Ba.
So he declined.
"Boss Li, I'll give you a mutated camel in exchange for the remaining supplies."
Seeing that Li Ba had decided to leave, Ma Youzhai gritted his teeth and made this proposal.
Camels are known as the boats of the desert.
They can carry heavy loads and run like flying in the Gobi Desert.
They can also search for water in arid lands.
Mutated camels take this ability to the extreme.
For Kujing City, which is on the verge of desert, it has great functions and is irreplaceable.
There are only about thirty mutant camels in the entire Kujing City, and Ma Youzhai regards them as treasures and keeps them firmly in his hands.
Each of these mutant camels has level five evolutionary strength.
Not to mention other things, they can bring great assistance in hunting.
Ma Youzhai also worked hard for the food and supplies Li Ba brought, and even gave up his precious treasure in exchange.
Even though it was just one head, it still made him feel distressed.
It's definitely a bargain to exchange five tons of food supplies for a level five mutant beast.
Not to mention anything else, this mutated camel is huge.
After slaughtering, its bones and flesh weigh nearly two tons.
Li Ba thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, patted Ma Youzhai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chief Ma, you can change if you want, but I need ten mutant camels."
"Ten heads" Ma Youzhai thought he heard wrongly.
It wasn't until Li Ba repeated it again that he finally heard clearly that the other party was not joking.
“This is not okay” Ma Youzhai immediately refused.
Although food supplies are precious, mutant camels are equally important to Kujing City.
Two or three heads are fine to negotiate, but if the other party asks for ten heads at once, he will not agree to it anyway.
"Chief Ma, besides food, I also have a lot of good things here."
Li Ba said this with a smile.

Afterwards, he looked at Liang Jie, who immediately touched his wrist and a red sword appeared strangely out of thin air.
"This is the Fire Cloud Sword, a talisman produced by our Harvest Trading Company.
It is infused with Yuanli and can be blessed with fireball attacks.
Its power is comparable to that of a fifth-level evolver."
Liang Jie began to introduce the efficacy of the talisman and tried it himself for Ma Youzhai to see.
When Ma Youzhai saw Liang Jie wielding his sword, causing balls of blazing fire to blast into the distance and blasting large craters into the ground, he was stunned and his face was full of shock and disbelief.
Li Ba looked at it and smiled silently.
He believed that after seeing the magical effect of the talisman, the horse leader would change his mind.
Following his hint, Liang Jie took out a piece of talisman, all of which were produced by the foundry.
According to the power of the inscribed talisman, the talisman is also divided into levels.
Liang Jie brought a lot of low-level talismans with him, and all of them were engraved with the five-element primary talismans, which were not too powerful.
However, it was enough to make Ma Youzhai tempted.
"Ten heads are enough, I need eighty, I want a hundred pieces of talisman in exchange."
As expected.
After Ma Youzhai saw the magical power of the talisman, he immediately made up his mind and was willing to trade ten mutant camels
