The black-robed person also hadn’t come alone. Strictly speaking, there were only a scant few who were traveling alone through the black market.
After all, no matter who it was no one wanted to leave their life here in this god-forsaken place.
The several people walked to a relatively quieter corner of the black market, then after talking it over, they chose a house for their discussion. Ji Anran went inside to negotiate with the black-robed person while the rest guarded outside.
Gao Xun was a bit puzzled.
It was obviously Geng-ge who needed the thunder crystal nucleus, then why was it Anran who went to negotiate?
Geng Yan knew that Ji Anran wanted to take this opportunity to return that previous crystal nucleus, so he didn't stop the other.
In fact, in his heart, he still had affection for Ji Anran this entire time, so he didn't mind it at all. Even if Ji Anran didn't pay it back, he also wouldn't have gone to collect the debt. Compared with going in to bargain, Geng Yan much preferred guarding here to protect Ji Anran, so he hadn't said anything.
The black-robed man asked dumbly, "You really have vegetable seeds?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can inspect them." Ji Anran took out a small plastic bag of vegetable seeds from his backpack.
The small plastic bag was only four square centimeters large, the transparent resealable kind.
Ji Anran opened the small plastic bag and took out one seed, handing it to the black-robed man.
Vegetable seeds were considered a relatively precious resource during the apocalypse. After all, vegetables were already selling now at the high price of one nucleus for three pieces. The common people couldn't afford them at all and could only eat those hard and chafing cereals that have not gone through processing and so would scratch and itch one’s throat as it gets swallowed
The black-robed man carefully inspected it and found that it really was a vegetable seed. So he was also a bit satisfied.
In actuality, the crystal nucleus would have been more useful to him. But there are just too few third-order nuclei, so at this point in time, it was almost impossible for him to actually exchange for a third-order wind-type nucleus.
So rather than just keeping it around, it was better to exchange the crystal nucleus for some other useful supplies.
"Vegetable seeds are indeed a decent good, but the zombie tide is coming soon. If I die at that time, I won't have any use for them. But with gasoline, it’s different. I can use it to drive."
Ji Anran sneered. "It's almost impossible to get gasoline now, so who would be willing to exchange it with you? You can choose to exchange it for the seeds, or continue to wait for your nucleus and gasoline. Maybe someone will really come to the door with them to trade."
"All in all, vegetable seeds aren’t as good as gasoline, I want 300," The black-robed man said after thinking it over.
Ji Anran indifferently replied, "250."
"280, it can’t be less. Otherwise, I'd rather go back and wait."
Ji Anran hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing. "Okay."
There were a lot of small packages of vegetable seeds in his backpack, which he had previously prepared to trade with.
Ji Anran had packed the bags with 50 seeds each. He counted 20 back out from one of the bags to take away, then placed the remaining with the 250 on the table of the room.
"If you have the need, I can count them one by one for you."
The black-robed man stared at the seeds for a good while. "I could count, let’s trade."
Ji Anran and the black-robed man both reached out at the same time, placing their respective item(s) on the table between them.
"One, two, three!"
After the count was up, Ji Anran and the black-robed man released their hands at the same time and went to get the thing(s) they had traded for. Ji Anran took the crystal nucleus, and the black-robed man took the vegetable seeds.
Ji Anran didn’t relax his vigilance just because no problem had cropped up during the trading process. He quickly walked out of the room to join back up his teammates.
The black-robed man followed close behind him, then left with his own companions.
Geng Yan felt that his hand had been stuffed with a crystal nucleus, and he quickly absorbed it.
"Let's leave first."
They had just made a deal with something this precious, so they would definitely become targeted. There was no shortage of powerhouses in the black market, the earlier they leave, the safer they would be.
Ji Anran and the others followed after Geng Yan, quickly heading towards one of the black market’s exits.
That black-robed man didn’t count the seeds at all, it was definitely not because he had the ability to count it in his head! The black-robed man was simply planning to kill them to take away all the vegetable seeds, so whether he might have been given one less hadn’t mattered to him at all!
Ji Anran hurried his pace. "We’ve become targeted, that guy probably went back to find some more helpers."
Ji Anran and his party had only reached about several dozen meters outside of the black market when that group of people had already quickly chased over. From a distance, they had already started to attack with their abilities, and so the radiance of flames began to lit up the night sky.
Geng Yan’s expression chilled. "Find a chance then leave, don't entangle with them!"
It wasn’t as if it was impossible for them to deal with this team, but that they were still close to the black market. If they really started to fight here, it would very likely attract other people over, by that time, it would then be extremely difficult for them to get away.
About to be robbed, Ji Anran’s voice became cold as he controlled his voice and loudly yelled, "This group of people have hundreds of vegetable seeds, let's hurry and grab them! Don't let others get a piece of the cake!"
The black-robed man and those in his team: "......"
What sort of play is this?
The eyes of those who had followed the sound of fighting out from the black market instantly changed after they heard these sentences.
Hundreds of vegetable seeds!!!
"No, it’s them! They have... D★mn it!"
Geng Yan laughed to himself.
Anran is still so quick-witted.
Ji Anran's teammates were also very smart. They quickly understood his intention and followed Ji Anran to fight against the black-robed man’s team, appearing very much like evil tyrants trying to rob the others’ supplies.
More and more people joined the fight. While those black-robed people also wanted to clarify, in such a situation, no one would have believed them. Because no matter how the others looked at them, it simply seemed like the black-robed man and his teammates got exposed and so now was desperately trying to deceive them.
Ji Anran, Geng Yan, and the others had long left, taking advantage that there were so many people. Geng Yan also hadn’t left alone but had quietly gone over to pull Gao Xun out, taking the other with him when he left.
When they had gotten back to the temporary residence, Gao Xun was still at a loss.
"Geng-ge, weren’t we trying to grab vegetable seeds just now?"
Geng Yan: "It was like this... Gao Xun, you should go supplement your brain."
Originally, Geng Yan hadn't wanted to pay attention to this stupid teammate, but he was also worried that some problem might happen next time if he didn't start teaching the other, and so he explained.
Gao Xun scratched his head. "So it’s like that. You guys are just too smart, haha."
