"Isn't it a bit unkind to do this?" Zhang Xu spoke in a casual tone, but his momentum made it seem like there was an iceberg between the two of them.
The middle-aged stall owner's heart skipped a beat. Although he was not worried that this young man would retaliate against him, he didn't have to do this business. There were plenty of sellers, and there was no shortage of him. How could he let this fat sheep reach his mouth? Did he run away?
"400,000 points, no more, brother!" The middle-aged stall owner stretched out his fourth finger with difficulty, looking a little ugly. If this person raised the price, he would earn very little, and he would have to borrow money from others. Ordinary people would definitely accept these points as soon as they feel like it, but Zhang Xu just insists on it because he has the strength!
Zhang Xu doesn't care about this person's inner feelings. He is not related to him, so how can he sell it to him cheaply, and dare to raise the price by 400,000 yuan in one breath? As long as people are not stupid, they will think carefully when they come to their senses. Why do you dare to increase the price? It must be that these accessories can earn much more than 400,000!
Businessmen have an abacus in mind. They will not do business that will make them lose more and make less! Even if they lose money, it’s still their marketing ploy! If you buy it at a loss and then sell it to those rich people, you can count it as a profit if you get favors and become familiar with it.
Zhang Xu didn't say anything, just stood there, looking at the stall owner quietly, but this silence was more frightening than the sound, and he obviously wanted to increase the price. The middle-aged stall owner was really filled with tears. , does this young man have such a big appetite?
"If you want to add more money, I don't have that many points, so I need to pay separately..." The stall owner gritted his teeth and was about to extend his fifth finger. At this moment, Zhang Xu pressed his finger back and said with a smile. : "Just 400,000, we'll trade it later."
"Okay!" Of course, the stall owner was happy to settle the transaction at once. After saying that, he took out a mobile phone and started the transaction. He was afraid that the person would change his mind. The money arrived quickly. The base's local area network coverage was quite wide. Yes, the signal can also be received here.
…
"Zhang Xu, how are the sales going?" Shi Ke was the first to arrive at the meeting place. After all, he didn't have anything he wanted to buy, so he just took a stroll.
"I didn't sell a few of those compressed biscuits, but I sold a lot of bullets." Zhang Xu told the truth, but he didn't say how many he sold. Of course, Shi Ke was very sensible and didn't ask again.
A total of 7 boxes of bullets were sold. The price of one bullet was 20 points, and 7,000 points were received. Although the bullets are only one-time consumables, the price is not low. 100 points is enough for ordinary people to eat safely. , although he will not be full, but with the food rescued from the base, it is enough to survive.
Zhang Xu naturally left 3 boxes for himself. After all, current weapons are still somewhat deterrent to some monsters. However, the three Rolock 20s he had were sold. One gun can actually be sold for 10,000 points. After all, Calculating his assets, he has about 440,000 points.
Zhang Xu doesn't think that with these points, he can enjoy himself with peace of mind, because he is always worried about the devaluation of points due to the expansion of goods, so exchanging physical objects is the best way, but what kind of items can be exchanged for to maintain their value for a long time? Zhang Xu can't explain why yet.
Moreover, Zhang Xu has now changed his view on his future. He originally wanted to go to school in peace, have a successful career, get married and have children. He could not be like his parents who ignored their children.
But now, the virus has changed the future trajectory of mankind, greatly delayed the development of mankind, and even threatened the life of the race, but Zhang Xu also saw another future!
This virus can promote rapid human evolution. Needless to say, there are many differences between us from the ancient apes of our ancestors in F State to modern humans. The body shape, appearance, strength decreased, brain capacity increased, etc., and then wisdom dominated human civilization.
But step by step observation, there is almost no difference between ancient humans and modern humans with more than 5,000 years of civilization. Humans have stopped evolving. However, this is just evolution. So what is evolution?
Evolution is when a certain species has to master or give up some of its abilities in order to survive. Take a lizard on an island. Some of them learned to fish in the sea, and they got a lot of food. It is still the same lizard, but it has one more ability. Swimming skills are just like us humans, some can swim and some can't, all they need is learning.
Evolution is the transformation of one species into a completely new species, with both good and bad qualities. Look at ordinary domestic dogs, they were once proud wolves, but now? After the change of time, it was domesticated into a new race, and its nature slowly faded out of the genes from generation to generation. Do you dare to point at a husky and say it is a wolf?
Now the fate of human beings is also changing, and individual combat effectiveness has become stronger. If the level of gene unlocking continues to increase, one person may be able to destroy a city, or even a country!
Moreover, as cell activity is greatly enhanced, the lifespan of evolvers may also be optimized. One hundred years may no longer be the end point. As the law of the jungle is eliminated, the birth of their offspring will also change. This is not nonsense, Zhang Xu’s quantum instrument The system has sampled genetic cells, and the verification report in this regard also strengthened Zhang Xu's thoughts. Human beings are evolving and evolving into a higher race!
If you persist, science and technology will make explosive leaps. If you fail to persist, it will be the end of mankind. What Zhang Xu has to do is to become stronger, survive, and see the bright future of mankind!
…
Bian Yao and Fu Anlan returned satisfied, and then the four of them began to participate in the so-called auction. Zhang Xu wanted to see this evolution potion. It would be embarrassing if it was not delivered to him before it was used.
Fu Anlan specifically emphasized to Zhang Xu: "When the auction is held later, try not to talk. We can just stand by and watch when they bid. If you want to commit suicide, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Okay, okay, Zhang Xu doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to show off... Let's go, the auction has begun." Shi Ke couldn't stand it anymore. Originally, he didn't know Fu Anlan's attitude towards Zhang Xu. , I only know it now after getting in touch with it, so I can only say a few words for Zhang Xu.
The auction this time was in a nearby yard. In order to expand the area of the black market and for safety, they directly opened up 9 houses to form a nine-square grid, and built many commanding heights around them for inspection to increase the level of security.
The auction location is the house in the center. Most people are now focusing their attention here, and some people are staying at other small stalls and continuing to bargain.
"I will be the host this time. There are 27 items in the auction today. Now the auction officially begins." A middle-aged man stood on a higher stone platform, looked at everyone in the audience, and said with a smile.
There were many people watching from a distance, but there were only a few people sitting in front of the stage. Thirteen chairs were prepared, but one person was absent. The people who could sit in the seats were all the confidants of the powerful leader, and they did not deliberately cover up. Faces, after all, behind each of them represents the arrival and support of a force.
These seats represent all the large forces in the base, and the relationship is also complicated. There are 8 extremely wealthy forces. They are very skillful and have been recruiting evolutionaries to work for them. Their basic method of making money is to sell cigarettes, alcohol, weapons, and women. , medical supplies, food, etc., every force is more or less involved in these things.
There are also foreign forces that cooperated with the officials of Country Z before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse broke out, they relied on technology to develop evolution potions and sold them to the hunters in the base, earning a huge amount of resources. This force did not harm the base. behavior, so I just let it go.
The remaining forces belong to the base itself. Yes, even the base's forces came to participate in this auction, so it shows that they attach great importance to this item, and the official forces of the base are roughly divided into two groups.
One is a faction composed of most sergeants. They train the army on a daily basis and have great power. The other faction is formed by officers. The army can only be mobilized during combat. However, because the security of the base is very high, the threat of zombies is still there. High-tech weapons are not worth mentioning, there are fewer battles, and rights have been reduced repeatedly. The faction can only rely on a large number of interpersonal relationships to support it.
"The first auction item is a box of epinephrine. There are 10 of them in total. Its functions must be familiar to you. You must be wondering whether it can be used by evolvers. The answer is yes! However, the more powerful evolvers require a higher dose. The higher." The middle-aged man immediately said what the onlookers in the distance had guessed.
To be honest, this is the first time that adrenaline is sold. All major forces have this thing, but the more the better, because it is for evolutionaries to protect themselves. When used in danger, it will strengthen the whole body. For ordinary hunters, It is a rare treasure. This is obviously sold by ordinary hunters at auction. Only in this way can they make more money, and the big forces will only keep the potion.
"Then the starting price is 100,000! The increase cannot be less than 1,000..." It is equivalent to 10,000 points for a potion, which is still very expensive. Zhang Xu looked at the medical box in the distance with deep eyes. This is a TDs potion, specially designed for It provides life-saving medicines, but the price is too high. So many points are enough to buy a box of military version. Many people will be fooled if they don't understand.
"More than 101,000! Everyone, we don't have much inventory. We hope you will give in." The young man sitting on the far left stood up and clasped his fists at everyone present in thanks.
"101,000 times, is it any higher?"
The people who come to participate in the auction have higher vision, and their vision is very different from ordinary people. They can naturally see the difference of this adrenaline, but the forces are in a competitive relationship, and they will not remind those people.
"105,000." Another middle-aged man shrugged. The meaning was very clear. Those who can get it will get it. The final price was 136,000. This price can really buy 20 civilian adrenaline.
After several rounds of auctions, the auction items here turned out to be so outrageous. In addition to the auctions of weapons, sports cars, women, and other conceivable items, there were also auctions of live animals. Is the relationship like eating something fresh if you get tired of canned food?
Finally, the 26th auction item came on the stage, and what was presented was 3 bottles of light green liquid, loaded in small glass bottles, which made everyone's eyes widen, even the dozen or so people sitting in front of the stage. They stood up in unison. It was evolution potion, and there were 3 bottles!
