Chapter 7: 98 White Crystal Stones!【Opening the exchange store for you……】
【Level 1 Infection Antidote: 5 white crystal stones (can cure a Level 1 unit infected with the virus and grant permanent immunity to the same level of plague.)】
【Exquisite Handgun: 5 crystal stones each】
【AK Rifle: 20 crystal stones each】
【Ammunition: 50 rounds/1 crystal stone (Note: This is universal ammunition. Please select the type of bullet for the gun you want to exchange before redeeming. It only applies to guns, not including various grenade launchers.)】
【Subsequent items require blueprints to unlock in the store.】
Lin Feng looked at the number of crystal stones he had, which was only 18. According to the description of Elite Militiaman Zhang Heng’s skills, even with proficient skills, it would still require 20 crystal stones to purchase an AK rifle to upgrade the elite militiaman to the next level of the army.
Lin Feng was in dire need of crystal stones.
He couldn’t get the additional two white crystal stones needed to exchange for an AK-47 weapon right away.
【Attention, detecting over 800,000 existing survivors, opening the free trade function……】
In the world channel, another announcement quickly appeared, leaving almost everyone stunned. But soon, people realized that this free trade function was meant to allow everyone to exchange what they had for what they needed.
Quickly, people began to trade.
“A small piece of bread for a cup of water.”
Someone soon chose to trade with him. It was a small transaction, and everyone watched this first trade with cautious curiosity.
After all, everyone had some resources at the beginning, but not much. Some people’s resources were very limited, like unwanted rags. In the apocalypse, food and water were the real hard currency.
The first trade went smoothly.
Then, a large number of items quickly flooded the market as people began to exchange resources.
“A pair of Nike shoes for a bottle of mineral water, anyone interested?”
“A large bag of cash for a piece of bread. Please, I’m about to starve.” However, in the apocalypse, money was useless. Even the money in the room was of no use.
“A bottle of mineral water for food. Any kind of food as long as it’s over 200 grams.”
“…… a white crystal stone for half a jin of food. Any kind of food as long as it’s edible.”
Soon, the information in the trading channel started to explode. Most survivors wanted to use their nearby resources to exchange for something useful, like trading luxury items that were useless in the apocalypse for food. However, such trades were unlikely to find willing participants.
In less than ten minutes, the resources in the trading channel nearly stabilized, and the trading prices had become stable as well.
The most convenient unit of measurement was the white crystal stone, a valuable resource.
Lin Feng noticed that the current exchange rate for food and white crystal stones was four jin of food for one white crystal stone, indicating that everyone recognized the importance of white crystal stones.
Looking at the 500 jin of baguette-like bread in front of him, Lin Feng opened the trading panel.
He traded 400 jin of bread for 80 white crystal stones.
The current survivors didn’t have that many resources, so Lin Feng chose free trade, allowing other survivors to exchange food with him as long as they had white crystal stones.
The price Lin Feng offered was very reasonable, even generous. To complete the trade quickly, he chose to offer an extra jin of bread compared to the market rate.
“What the heck, who is this big boss? He has 400 jin of food?”
“I’m in, brothers. I have nothing here. My room only has clothes and bags; it looks like a woman’s room. Can clothes and bags be eaten? I exchanged my initial white crystal stones.”
“Lin Feng is truly a big boss, offering an extra jin compared to the market rate. I made the trade too.” Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
“Does Big Boss Lin Feng need a girlfriend? I can unlock any position…”
“Brothers, I’m in too.”
Soon, people realized that Lin Feng’s trade offer was more favorable than the current market rate, so they quickly made the exchange.
Since Lin Feng’s trade only accepted white crystal stones and not bartering, he received only white crystal stones in return.
In less than five minutes, Lin Feng’s 400 jin of baguette-like bread were snatched up by the hungry survivors!
And in Lin Feng’s hands, he now had 80 Level 1 white crystal stones.
Lin Feng watched as his pile of baguette-like bread gradually diminished, replaced by sparkling white crystal stones, feeling very excited.
The survivors only knew that white crystal stones could be exchanged for items. If they had a choice, they wouldn’t trade, but not trading meant certain death. Moreover, the price Lin Feng offered was very reasonable.
【Your crystal count: 98 Level 1 white crystal stones.】
Lin Feng now had 98 Level 1 white crystal stones!
