Free Web NovelChapter 39: Chapter 39: Trade Agreement (2/2)
After confirming there was nothing wrong with the potion, Xisuo quickly stored the other one away.
After all, while Simon’s radiation level was quite high, it hadn’t exceeded 40%. Using it now would be a bit of a waste.
Besides, you could only use one vial of this stuff a month.
Seeing the displeasure on Bena’s face, Xisuo knew he was in the wrong and quickly put on an apologetic smile.
"Bena, that was my fault."
"I just didn’t expect there were still genuinely good people in this world."
Bena waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright. You should see we’re sincere by now, right?"
Xisuo nodded repeatedly.
"I do, absolutely! You’ve been more than sincere!"
Bena extended his hand and placed two simple communication bracelets into Xisuo’s.
"These are comm bracelets. They can be used for short-range communication, and you can use them to contact our shelter."
"In the future, if you get your hands on anything good—say, some scrap parts, mutated creature tissue, robot components, or blueprints—you can bring them to this abandoned gas station."
"Once you’re here, you can send us a message. We’ll have someone come over to pick up the materials. Then, based on what you provide, we’ll trade you for more of that Radiation Purifier that lowers your internal radiation."
Xisuo nodded.
"No problem."
With that, he glanced at the mutated lizard on the ground, only the lower half of its body remaining.
"So... how many Radiation Purifiers is this thing worth?"
Bena hadn’t given a specific price, so Xisuo needed to figure out how many materials he would have to gather to trade for a single Radiation Purifier.
Bena pointed to the comm bracelet in Xisuo’s hand.
"You can try contacting the Administrator directly with it."
「...」
「Inside the shelter.」
Looking at the inquiry on the comm bracelet, Ye Yun was lost in thought.
When Number 1 had returned to get the potion earlier, he had also brought their half of the mutated lizard back to the shelter.
The haul this time was incredibly rich.
[Damaged Lizard Hide (Green)] x3
[Description: Hide taken from a mutated lizard, but severely damaged during the fight.]
[Mutated Lizard Fangs (Green)] x10
[Description: Teeth taken from a mutated lizard.]
[D-Grade Radiation Core (Blue)]
[Description: A special core obtained from a powerful mutated creature.]
From this half of the mutated lizard’s corpse, they had directly obtained 14 green components and one blue component. In addition, there were also several dozen white components.
However, despite their quantity, the white components were insignificant in value compared to the green and blue ones.
Honestly, Ye Yun hadn’t expected the rewards to be this generous.
’Is this what they call a boss fight?’
Forget the blue component, which was priceless on the current market; the green components alone were worth thousands of white components.
These returns were far greater than what they got from normal exploration.
Ye Yun wasn’t a greedy person. Besides, he knew that without Bena and the others’ help, the two brothers, Xisuo and Simon, likely wouldn’t have been a match for this mutated lizard on their own.
Therefore, he would have to lower his asking price for them a bit.
After all, crafting a Radiation Purifier was actually very simple for him. It only took about twenty white components and ten minutes to make one, putting its total value at around 30 white components.
It only seemed so precious because the other party couldn’t make it themselves. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Ye Yun:
[Based on the type of mutated lizard from today, one whole lizard can be exchanged for 10 Radiation Purifiers.]
[If you’re willing to sell the remaining half of the corpse, we’re prepared to give you another 5 Radiation Purifiers.]
[Of course, if you don’t want Radiation Purifiers, we’re also willing to offer weapons, equipment, food, and drinking water of equivalent value in trade.]
Seeing the message displayed on the comm bracelet, Xisuo gasped.
It wasn’t that he thought the price was too high. On the contrary, he thought it was too cheap—so cheap it was almost unbelievable.
A radiation-cleansing agent like this, capable of reducing internal radiation by 40%, was a D-Grade potion. He had bought them from some black market clinics before, and the price had been exorbitant.
The mutated lizard they hunted today was roughly D-Grade in terms of strength. Although its species-specific traits made it one of the stronger D-Grade mutated creatures, its bounty price was only slightly higher than a typical one. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The reason they had come here in the first place was because they had accepted a bounty someone else had posted.
The client wanted a complete D-Grade mutated lizard corpse, and the reward was a single radiation-cleansing potion that could reduce internal radiation by 39%.
A simple comparison revealed a staggering tenfold difference between the two offers.
So, without the slightest hesitation, Xisuo immediately replied:
[Deal!]
[I’ll sell you the other half of the spoils, too.]
When Ye Yun saw how quickly the other party replied, he knew his offer had been a bit high, but he didn’t mind.
Business had to be mutually beneficial to be sustainable in the long run.
He wasn’t one to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. From his perspective, playing the long game was the best way to maximize profit.
[Alright. So, what do you need?]
[More Radiation Purifiers, or something else?]
This time, Xisuo didn’t answer right away, taking a moment to think seriously.
Radiation Purifiers were necessities, of course, but more wasn’t always better.
He had just heard that you could only inject one dose of this stuff per month.
After considering for a moment, Xisuo stated what he wanted.
[I’d like another 3 Radiation Purifiers. For the rest, could I trade for one of those spears like the one Mr. Bena is holding?]
During the fight earlier, Xisuo had witnessed just how formidable the spear in Bena’s hand was.
It was much sharper than the machetes they had, which were forged from railroad tracks.
Seeing the other party’s request, Ye Yun didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he opened the Exchange.
After he entered his query into the search bar, the interface displayed only green-quality items.
Ye Yun scanned the list and quickly found his target.
[Fine Soldier’s Longspear (Green)]
[Attack: 11-16]
[Attack Speed: Fast]
[Attack Range: Melee]
[Required Stats: Strength 7, Agility 5]
Price: 230 white components.
Ye Yun bought it without hesitation.
However, after he purchased it, he realized he had overlooked something very important.
The item had stat requirements.
Xisuo and Simon weren’t members of his shelter, so he had no way of checking their stats through the member system.
If their stats didn’t meet the requirements, they wouldn’t be able to equip it.
But since the equipment had already been purchased, Ye Yun could only have Number 1 come back for it and take it to them to try out. If they couldn’t use it, he’d have to figure something else out.
