Chapter 20 - Put on the Agenda

Chapter 20 Put on the Agenda

In the dead silence.

Zhang He raised the decanter with a look on his face as if he was holding something sacred.

At this moment, he had already completely regarded this as a miracle.

He regarded Zhou Yuan as a God in this world.

After all, other than this explanation, he could not think of any other way to explain what was happening in front of him.

The contaminated water that had just been poured into the bucket had turned into clear and sweet drinking water in the blink of an eye.

If this wasn’t a miracle, what was it?

In addition, the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice that Zhou Yuan had planted in succession all sprouted within a day.

When all these things were put together, who else could do it other than the gods?

Zhang He immediately rejected the idea of Science and Technology.

He had never heard of such a thing even in the glorious era.

In the current environment of the wasteland, it was not possible to do this with technology.

Zhang He bowed to Zhou Yuan respectfully, then shouted at Fu Mengyu and the rest,

“What are you guys doubting? Who are you guys mocking?” “With such a miracle in front of you, what else do you have to say?”

The bosses all stared at the clear liquid in the decanter, dumbfounded.

They were all the bosses of at least a hundred underlings.

Their lives could be considered to be very good in this camp.

There were people serving them food and drinks every day. However, even they had never drunk such clear water.

A year after the disaster, there was no such clear water.

Not to mention that so many years had passed.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Fu Mengyu looked at the decanter in a daze and mumbled,

“Impossible, that’s impossible!”

“That’s contaminated water, not drinking water.”

“There is no God in this world, there is definitely no God.”

Till the end, Fu Mengyu was still a teacher.

Whenever she encountered something, she would try to figure it out from the root.

It was just like how Zhou Yuan made a seed sprout overnight.

She had not slept well for the past two days because of this matter.

As soon as she closed her eyes, all kinds of knowledge flashed through his mind, trying to figure out the principle behind the seeds’ overnight germination. Unable to figure it out, she could only attribute it to the fact that Zhou Yuan had the unknown technology to induce the growth of seeds.

One of the reasons she had targeted Zhou Yuan so much was because of that slap.

Another reason was to find out if Zhou Yuan had the skill.

If he did, what was the principle behind the technology?

However, now, an even more exaggerated and fantasizing scene was happening right in front of her.

At that moment, Fu Mengyu’s worldview collapsed.

She felt like she was in a dream. The world was no longer what she was familiar with.

When the students saw their teacher in such a state, they didn’t know how to comfort her.

They were equally shocked by this scene.

The water contaminated by nuclear radiation became drinking water in the blink of an eye.

This… It felt like they had wasted their time in University!

Furthermore, they did not even see Zhou Yuan touch the water.

He just walked over and inserted a metal pipe into the barrel.

Then, the water that flowed out would become clean drinking water!

They didn’t even know how to find an excuse to explain this fantasy.

Previously, the seeds had sprouted overnight, so they could question the seedlings that were transplanted from other places at night.

It could be assumed that Zhou Yuan had unknown technology that could accelerate the growth of seeds.

Now, they were completely speechless.

Just as Zhang He had said, the only explanation seemed to be a miracle.

Just as everyone was filled with shock.

One of them said loudly,

“Mr. Zhou, do you accept the exchange of everything here?”

Everyone looked over.

Fu Mengyu’s face darkened.

It was Old Black, who had rejected her before.

The strength of his subordinates could be considered one of the best in the camp.

He didn’t agree to work together before, but now he was calling Zhou Yuan, ‘Mr. Zhou’. What did he mean by that?

Fu Mengyu looked at Old Black unkindly.

Zhou Yuan replied indifferently,

“Anything,”

“But it must be valuable.”

Old Black chuckled and nodded, throwing a black thing to his underling.

Then, the underling immediately ran to Zhou Yuan’s side and held it up with both hands.

Zhou Yuan picked it up and saw that it was a multi-purpose knife wrapped in black leather. He asked the system in his heart how much it was worth.

[Exchangeable for 150 gold coins.]

This price surprised Zhou Yuan, but he immediately understood after taking another look.

He found that besides all kinds of small knives, saws, and screwdrivers, there was also a magnesium bar.

This magnesium rod alone was worth the lighter from the beginning.

Throwing a bottle to Zhang He, Zhou Yuan said slowly,

“One-third of the height.”

Zhang He immediately understood.

He filled the bottle with a third of the water and gave it to Blackie’s subordinate.

Old Black finished the water in one gulp without complaining that it was expensive.

Then, he let out a satisfying sound, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Old Black said,

“Mr. Zhou, do you have any way to cooperate with me so that I can get a stable supply of drinking water from you?”

Zhou Yuan replied indifferently,

“No, currently only items are accepted for an exchange!”

He needed a large number of items and system gold coins to have the opportunity to evolve.

The 800 gold coins that he had saved up previously were used to evolve the seeds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice.

The water in the bucket had just evolved again.

Now, he only had around 400 gold coins left.

He wanted to build a base and develop it.

Zhou Yuan felt that he would need at least ten thousand gold coins.

After all, the system needed to spend gold coins to evolve each individual item, which was very deceptive.

Therefore, he had to get enough system gold coins from exchanges as soon as possible.

Old Black wasn’t surprised, he just smiled,

“Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Zhou.”

“I’ll immediately get my brothers to organize the items at home and send them over for exchange. We’ll support Mr. Zhou’s business.

With that, Old Black cupped his hands and left with his men.

From the beginning to the end, he didn’t even look at Fu Mengyu, who had an ugly expression.

Just as Fu Mengyu was about to say something…

One of the bosses beside her suddenly spoke.

“Mr. Zhou, I apologize for my offense just now. I’ll come over to support your business later.”

Fu Mengyu looked at the boss in disbelief.

Out of all the bosses, this person was the fastest to agree with her.

He said that he would support her unconditionally.

Yet now, he was the first one to turn against her?

Fu Mengyu’s face suddenly looked as if she had eaten sh*t.

Moreover, the moment this boss opened his mouth…

The rest of the people spoke up.

They all expressed that it was all a misunderstanding and would definitely support Zhou Yuan’s Water Shop business.

Fu Mengyu’s face darkened every time someone spoke.

In the end, she stood there all alone.

She had completely turned into a clown.

Upon seeing this, Zhang He sneered and said,

“Ms. Fu, do you still remember why you came here?”

“If you’ve forgotten, you should go back and think about it.”

“Don’t stand here and affect Mr. Zhou’s business. You’re going to bring in bad luck!”

Hearing Zhang He’s sarcasm, Fu Mengyu couldn’t take it anymore. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The students beside her immediately rushed forward and carried her back in a sorry state.

Zhou Yuan tossed the multi-functional knife to Zhang He and ordered,

“The exchange price will be based on this.”

“The scarier something is, the better it is.”

“Don’t just accept all kinds of trash.”

Zhang He understood tacitly and said respectfully,

“Don’t worry!”

Zhou Yuan nodded and returned to his room.

With Zhang He’s intelligence, he definitely wouldn’t suffer a loss. He was very assured.

Now, he had to plan his future development.

After all, after this round of exchange, he would have a large number of gold coins.

It was time to put the construction of the base on the agenda.
