Chapter Two! Thanks to Yixi and the Eight Great Masters for their 1000 AA, thank you!
Ye Zhongming looked at Uncle Jia with a hint of disbelief in his heart.
Lin Hai City was different from other apocalypse cities. Although survivors in other cities were at a disadvantage, they at least had some ability to resist. While it was dangerous to enter or exit those cities, they were not completely sealed off.
Lin Hai was different; the survivors here were on the brink of extinction. In other first-tier cities of the same scale, there might still be hundreds of thousands of survivors, but Lin Hai definitely did not have that many—tens of thousands would be considered exaggeration.
This resulted in the people here being weaker both in strength and experience compared to the survivors outside, and their weapons and equipment were even less comparable.
The fact that this roulette had produced a scroll for the intermediate human puppet technique was already beyond Ye Zhongming's expectations. If he were to say there was anything else here that piqued his interest, he was not inclined to believe it.
“Specialty!”
Seeing the expression on Ye Zhongming's face, Uncle Jia knew what the young man was thinking, so he immediately succinctly said two words.
Indeed, Ye Zhongming's eyes lit up.
Uncle Jia pulled Ye Zhongming aside and rummaged through his pocket for a while before taking out a small box.
Ye Zhongming raised an eyebrow; he recognized that this box was the same as the one used in a transaction with a young couple earlier.
And it turned out that Ye Zhongming's guess was correct; the good thing Uncle Jia mentioned was indeed said to be seeds from the Yama Tree.
Ye Zhongming was somewhat interested in this item, not only because he was currently within the influence of the Yama Tree, but also due to his profession as a gardener. He usually paid a lot of attention to collecting various seeds, and now, in the villa that belonged to him at Cloud Summit, there was a dedicated room for storing them.
However, Ye Zhongming was not so naive as to show any excessive interest; he merely shook his head lightly.
Uncle Jia became somewhat anxious; it wasn’t that he had poor psychological quality, but business in Lin Hai was truly hard to do and was becoming increasingly difficult. It was not easy to encounter a customer on a regular day, and today, having finally met a big buyer, he was genuinely afraid of missing this opportunity.
In his anxiety, some things would subconsciously spill out.
“Don’t underestimate this item; it is said that these seeds come from the Yama Tree and have special functions. There are several factions in Lin Hai that can already create powerful items from this. I absolutely am not lying to you!”
Ye Zhongming appeared calm on the surface, glanced at the seeds, and then his gaze shifted to Uncle Jia's face.
“You said it is said to be, which means it cannot be taken seriously. Even if it is true, I don’t know how to use this item. What’s the point of me buying it?”
Uncle Jia became anxious: “You can't say that! Even if you don’t know how to use it, selling it to those who do will definitely work! You can profit from the price difference. Did you see that couple earlier? They are doing just that. If you buy this item from me, I will give you a free piece of information, telling you which organizations have mastered the usage!”
“That seems reasonable, but I usually don’t do small business. How many of these seeds do you have? As long as the price is reasonable, I’ll take them all.”
Uncle Jia was instantly delighted; he liked large purchases. He understood that this person was young, wealthy, but not foolish, so he gave up on trying to take advantage and directly took out all the remaining seeds he had, which amounted to about a dozen.
“Fixed price: two bottles of three-star elixirs. That was the price I sold to the couple earlier.”
Ye Zhongming nodded; Uncle Jia did not lie in this regard, as he had indeed seen that the couple exchanged a bottle of three-star evolution potion.
