Li Xuefeng pondered for a long time.
Finally, he compromised.
Alright... ten barrels it is...
He felt like his heart was bleeding; it was too big a loss!
But there was no other way.
If he had no weapons and was trapped here to die.
No matter how much water he had, there would eventually be a day when it ran out!
Ding! Transaction successful!
You lost ten barrels of water and obtained [Precise Longbow]*1, [Arrows]*50!
Li Xuefeng was startled:
Big Brother, you gave me fifty arrows? Didn't you say only ten before?
That's right, I saw you were quite straightforward with the trade, so I gave you forty more. Don't tell anyone else!
Just help me promote me more in the chat channel then!
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
He understood the principle of giving a slap and then a sweet date.
As expected, after hearing Zhang Chen say that, Li Xuefeng was incredibly touched.
He had met a great benefactor!
He said excitedly:
Don't worry, Big Brother, I'll definitely promote you more!
There are so few conscientious sellers like you, thank you!
Look...
Zhang Chen had just ripped off Li Xuefeng for 10 barrels of purified water, and in the end, the other party still had to thank him...
Just a small favor...
As expected, as soon as Li Xuefeng finished his private chat with Zhang Chen, he immediately started hyping it up in the chat channel.
Holy cow, this [Precise Longbow] is awesome, one shot one zombie, every arrow hits its mark!
It's a perfect monster-killing artifact, I feel like I'm about to reach the pinnacle of life and marry a rich and beautiful woman!
A few minutes later, Li Xuefeng also posted a video.
From a first-person perspective, an arrow directly pierced a zombie's head!
The scene was particularly gory.
But it had to be said, the effect was indeed very obvious!
At this, many people in the chat channel who were still hesitating about whether to buy immediately became active.
Awesome, brother, this is so much safer than a cleaver!
And the bow and arrow don't make much noise, so they won't attract zombies, it's really good!
Damn, if you can kill zombies, you'll have strength, you'll have energy crystals, what can't you have? Why bother marrying a rich and beautiful woman? Beautiful girls will be begging you to favor them!
I just saw where there were six girls, wait for me, I'm going to buy a bow and arrow, here I come!
It's definitely worth getting one, this way I can break into the supermarket across the street, there must be supplies inside!
......
For a time, the consultation volume increased dramatically.
The private messages were flooding in, and he couldn't answer them all.
There were also many messages from girls.
They were basically all asking for relationships, asking to form a CP, asking to be taken care of, and so on.
Most of them didn't have any resources to show off, and they didn't have the courage to kill zombies!
Under the apocalypse, even adult men couldn't guarantee they would survive safely.
Would anyone be willing to bring along a burden!
It was even more impossible to want freebies and to be taken care of!
Brother, I want ten [Precise Longbows], name your price!
Suddenly, a message caught Zhang Chen's attention.
It was from Zheng Hao!
You want ten?
Zhang Chen was slightly surprised.
The fact that he could order so many longbows meant, first, that Zheng Hao's team had grown, and the number of combatants was at least ten people!
Second, it meant that Zheng Hao had confidence and definitely had a lot of resources.
Zhang Chen suddenly remembered that this guy had said yesterday that he was going to attack a large supermarket.
Could it be that he had succeeded?!
That's right, name your price, and if you need materials... if we have them, we can also provide materials and give you a craftsmanship fee!
Zheng Hao said.
This guy was quite calculating.
If he knew the materials, then he could estimate the production cost of a bow!
And thus, he could bargain.
Zhang Chen would absolutely not give him this opportunity.
Alright, you name a price, what do you want in exchange?
Ten longbows would require at least 100 energy crystals, 50 units of food, and 50 units of water!
Actually, wood is not valuable now; energy crystals are what's valuable.
Ten longbows require 10 energy crystals.
Zhang Chen directly priced it at 100, a tenfold increase.
Coupled with food and water, it was at least a twenty-fold profit margin!
Hiss... Brother, your price is a bit high...
How about this, I'll make a counter-offer, 80 energy crystals. Food and water are too scarce, and the auction house prices are sky-high!
And we have a lot of people here, and our expenses are high! We don't have enough for ourselves!
Zheng Hao said.
100 energy crystals, no less!
If you don't have food and water... you can offer other things to make up for it!
If it's suitable, I can consider trading!
After all, the cost of making 10 longbows is very high, and this is the only ranged weapon on the market!
Zhang Chen continued to hold his ground.
Actually, 80 crystals were within his acceptable range!
A net profit of 70 crystals, this deal was not a loss!
He still had to make money selling [Arrows] later!
But bargaining is like this.
The more you appear unyielding, when the other party lowers the price a bit, the more they feel they've gotten a great deal!
If you agree as soon as the other party makes an offer.
The other party will definitely feel like they've been ripped off!
That's how people's psychology works!
A bit cheap.
This... we only have 90 energy crystals on hand!
How about this, we'll supplement you more from other things!
As Zheng Hao spoke, he sent a list of item names to the private chat channel!
[Mutated Fertilizer]*300, [Clean Cloth]*120, [Bloody Key]*23, [Strange Key]*1, [Bloody Access Card]*8, [Toilet Paper]*12, [Fresh Grapes]*20, [Fresh Oranges]*7, [Football Helmets]*12, [Diesel Generators]*2, [Barrels of Diesel 200L]*10, [Barrels of Gasoline 159L]*12, [Steel]*178...
This is all my supplies, see which ones you can use!
Let's trade as much as they can cover, I really don't have any extra resources!
Brother, just consider it helping me out, if you come to our place in the future, I'll give you an official position!
Zhang Chen directly ignored the last sentence.
In any survivor team, strength is the sole measure of status.
Without strength, any official position is nonsense!
Similarly, as long as your strength is strong enough, your entire camp will have to bow at your feet!
As for these supplies...
Except for the [Football Helmets], I'll take everything else!
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
