Chapter 525
"Okay, just follow this price." Li Zheng thought about it for a long time and nodded.
One thousand and five hundred white crystal coins, if exchanged at the registration office, the materials that need to be consumed can be described as massive.
It is already very good to be able to trade at such a price with only 100 ml of intermediate culture medium.
Li Zheng guessed that the reason why the matrix set such an outrageous price is to allow people from other cities to go to other channels to earn white crystal coins.
For example, to improve the enthusiasm of people from outside the city to take up tasks.
"Okay, when my grandfather comes back, I will tell him the result of this matter. Then you can trade with my grandfather." Basil nodded, glanced at the three tiger brothers who were eating fruit frantically, and stayed One sentence, "If you don't have enough food, you can tell me, there are still in the warehouse." Then he was ready to leave the greenhouse.
"and many more."
Li Zheng stopped him and asked, "I think your botanical gardens are basically just ordinary fruits. Why don't you cultivate something that can develop genetic abilities?"
Compared with ordinary fruits, the cost-effectiveness of cultivating fruits is definitely much higher. Li Zheng doesn't understand why Kanger is chasing the bottom line.
"Well, I know about this!"
Hu Er raised his juice-stained face: "Because the plant seedlings and seeds of the ability fruit are all in the hands of major laboratories, ordinary botanical gardens are not allowed to cultivate privately without experimental qualifications, even if they are cultivated, they are black goods. It can be sold on the black market, and there is not necessarily a buyer who needs it.”
"Is that so?" Li Zheng looked at Basil.
"He's right." Basil nodded, feeling that it wouldn't be a problem to tell Li Zheng about this kind of thing, "My grandfather once tried to cultivate the ability fruit, but the growth cycle of the ability fruit is too long, and the effect of the final cultivation is too long. It wasn’t very stable either, so I gave up later.”
"The cultivated effect is not stable? What does this mean? Isn't the role of the ability fruit in the outer city unchanged?"
Li Zheng was confused. He had produced a large number of flame flowers by himself. The attributes of each flame flower were exactly the same, and there was no difference at all. How could it become unstable in Basil's mouth?
"I don't quite understand the reason for this. Maybe when my grandfather comes back, I can help you ask." Basil shook his head. He was young, and he was not interested in the botanical garden, so he only knew a lot of relevant knowledge.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Li Zheng nodded and let him go to his own business first.
When Basil left, Li Zheng looked at Hu Shihaisai's tiger brother and asked, "You guys have thought about it, do you really want to follow me in the future?"
"Mmmm, biajibiaji, follow you, there's something to eat!" Hu San's mouth was stuffed with food, vague.
"We've settled with you, Boss." Hu Er is a little more shrewd and knows how to flatter him: "I think Boss, you have an extraordinary bearing, you must be a god and a devil among people, and you will definitely do a lot in the future! You will definitely be able to rise to the top with you."
Cota turned his head away, unable to bear to look directly at the two brothers who had no morals and no brains.
"Now that I've decided, I'll do things according to my rules in the future, and I'm not allowed to violate them, can I do it?" Li Zheng looked directly at the three brothers.
"can!"
"Must be able to!"
"As long as I'm full, um... give me money to find Xiaohua, and let me do anything."
"You stupid pig, can you forget that little flower, she's a liar, she doesn't even look at you if you don't have money!" Kota was furious, and he really did not leave the little flower and food for three words, too unpromising !
"She's not a liar, I forbid you to say that to Xiaohua!" Hu San dared to be angry and did not dare to express his cowardice.
This is really a dog-licking mentality, and Li Zheng is convinced.
Keta was so angry that he jumped up to hit Hu San in the head, and Hu Er took the lead.
Then Hu San was beaten to the ground by his two brothers, and while being beaten, he took the time to put something in his mouth and hummed a few words of Xiaohua's name indistinctly.
"Absolutely unbelievable." Li Zheng was moved by Hu San's dog-licking spirit, and decided that even if he was paid salary in the future, he could not directly give it to him, but it would be more reliable to leave it to Keta for safekeeping.
At this time, Kanger finally returned, with two delivery workers.
The two delivery workers looked like centipedes, walking on the ground, with hundreds of pairs of short stomach legs growing under their abdomens.
Arranged for two delivery workers to put the purchased plants into the greenhouse, Kanger came to Li Zheng to discuss the final transaction.
After the comparison between Basil and the Tiger Brothers, Li Zheng and Kanger settled on the details of the transaction, and sold him 30 liters of the intermediate medium at the price of 1,005 white crystal coins per 100 milliliters of medium.
With this order alone, Li Zheng received 315,000 white crystal coins, and instantly became a little rich.
"Great, with this batch of intermediate culture medium, I can finally complete the order!" Kanger was overjoyed. If you want to know that if you breach the contract, you will not be able to get a penny, and you will have to pay 500,000 yuan in liquidated damages. The price was much more than what was given to Li Zheng now, almost all of his working capital.
Li Zheng followed Kanger to look at the newly bought saplings, and walked around in it, but found no eggs of the leaf ants.
"Strange thing, am I thinking wrong?"
"What's the matter?" Miriel finished cleaning up the tableware, and just saw Li Zheng frowning and asked.
"I thought those ants were secretly put down by the businessmen who provided saplings to earn fines like liquidated damages." Li Zheng took another look at Kanger who was handling the greenhouse: "But I just checked For a second, there are no leaf ants in the new saplings."
"Could it be the leaf ants that other people put, and it has nothing to do with the sapling merchant?" Miriel suggested a possibility. After all, the peers were enemies, and secretly made the trips very normal.
"It's not impossible, but I still think the sapling businessman is the most suspicious." Li Zheng shook his head with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Leaf ants are the nemesis of the vine clan, and even if Kanger discovered the leaf ants, he would not dare to go in and expel the insects immediately.
Even if Kangol issued a private task at the first time to find someone to deworm the insects, it was enough for the leaf ants to destroy part of the fruit trees during this period, and in the end, he still couldn't deliver the full amount of fruit before the deadline.
In other words, even if Kanger solves a batch of leaf ants ahead of time, he will continue to replenish fruit trees afterward. After calculating, the other party thinks that Kanger can catch up with the delivery, as long as the old trick is repeated once, it is actually very easy for the botanical garden to default.
"You want to help him find out who's behind the scenes?" Miriel said, "Then you can ask the old tree man if there is a suspect."
"Looking for the black hand after recruiting?" Li Zheng smiled: "I'm not so busy, I just want to get some more leaf ants. Besides, even if there are other suspects, Kanger must have told us just now. .
Since he avoided talking about this matter, it means that he knows who put the leaf ants behind..."
Having said this, he paused and said clearly: "I know why there are no leaf ants anymore. The old tree man was worried that he would not be able to deliver the goods again, so he checked carefully when purchasing the goods this time."
"Logically, it should be correct." Miriel felt reasonable, nodded and asked, "Do you still care about this?"
Do you still care?
Fuck it!
The bitter masters don't care, what are you doing behind you?
Just think about what to do next.
Li Zheng shook his head and called Kota to him: "Since you have decided to follow me, let's get rid of the previous finishing work and return the three borrowed translation props to the original owners.
Then……"
Three thousand three hundred white crystal coins were drawn into the Kota inscription: "Go and buy three more, and the extra three hundred white crystal coins will be used as salary for helping me just now."
"Okay, boss."
Keta held the inscription card worth 3,300 white crystal coins, and his hands were shaking slightly.
Just to help go to the black market to ask the price, and even get a salary of 100 white crystal coins per person!
That's more money than any of the three brothers had ever worked for!
It seems that the second brother is right, this boss is indeed generous, and he will definitely make a fortune with him!
Kota called up the two younger brothers and went out with them.
Li Zheng thought about it, he had nothing to do now, so he went back to the greenhouse.
Putting away the forest wolves, he counted the time in his heart. It has been almost 24 hours since the last time he opened the treasure chest, so he waited quietly in the greenhouse.
Sure enough, not long after, the familiar electronic sound rang in his ears.
【The Daily Treasure Box has been... 】
[Tick: Time difference detected, the current time is 12:00 noon, this treasure chest update failed, it will be distributed in twelve hours,]
"..."
"???"
"!!!"
Li Zheng listened to the prompt, from the silence at the beginning to the confusion and then the shock, how can he still play like this?
When it's time to give the treasure box a time difference, delay the distribution time of the treasure box by 12 hours?
I am Nima~
Don't you bully people like this?
What kind of wicked overlord clause is this?
Is there a consumer association?
Report whether you believe it or not?
But then again, when you first arrived in the outer city, it wasn't even eight o'clock in the morning?
At that time, public officials such as Yakumo and Yelan had already gone to work, and it was quite hard work.
I hope there is no 996 in the outer city.
Well, since the treasure chest can't be opened, I can only find other things to do.
After habitually digging a few times in the capsule and emptying it, I remembered that all my weapons were forcibly kept.
"Fuck! This is too inconvenient, isn't it? If you don't have a weapon, what should you do if you want to practice martial arts?"
Li Zheng rolled his eyes, lay down on the ground, closed his eyes and began to mobilize his mental power, and simply became familiar with the much stronger mental power.
After the spiritual power has been improved, the control is a little weaker, and it is impossible to achieve real smooth operation.
With his fingers, he rubbed out a thin needle that was condensed from the moisture in the air, carefully lifted it up with mental power, and began to draw various patterns in the air.
Draw an S for a while
draw an X for a while
From simple to complex, it gradually became a rare word: 藼鳳龘
The thin needles flew and rotated in the air, changing in different directions, and finally disappeared.
Li Zheng opened his eyes, he knew that it was not the disappearance of the thin needles, but that the flight speed was too fast, and it was difficult to capture the hair-thin ice needles only by ordinary optical responses.
"Um?"
Li Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and he actually sensed the appearance of a familiar spiritual force, robbing him of the control of the ice needle.
Although this spiritual power is pure, its strength is much weaker than his own.
Li Zheng looked to his side, and Miriel sat there and smiled and said, "This is an exercise that my mother and mother used to do with me. By competing with each other, I can exercise the flexibility and cohesion of my spiritual power.
Although your mental power is very strong, it is too scattered and the means used are very rough. I will be your sparring partner. "
"Okay." Li Zheng nodded, closed his eyes and controlled his mental power, lowered it to a level similar to Miriel, and then began to grab the control of Ice Needle.
However, after a few rounds of competition between the two, the ice needle exploded into fine ice crystals in the air, which quickly dissipated.
"This is what you caused by using too much force just now. You can try to imagine your mental power as your hand, wrap the ice needle with your hand, and give it a little protection while snatching it." Miriel instructed carefully.
Li Zheng summed up the skills, and then condensed the ice needles again and threw them into the air, nodding to Miriel: "Come again!"
The snatch battle begins again.
I saw the hair-thin ice needles twirling and dancing in the air, approaching Miriel for a while, and then flying towards Li Zheng, as if two invisible hands were snatching toys back and forth in the air.
Snapped!
The ice needle shattered again.
Miriel: "Your mind is messed up and your mind is not concentrated enough, which will cause your mental power to be unstable."
Li Zheng: "Come again!"
...
Snapped!
"Come again!"
...
...
Snapped!
"Come again!"
...
In this way, Li Zheng's mental power usage skills improved little by little with Miriel as his sparring partner.
After some time, the three Kota brothers came back.
It's just that when the three came back this time, only two were standing, and Hu San was the door that was carried in by the two older brothers.
"Li Zheng..."
Keta and Hu Er had blue noses and swollen faces, and they chatted a lot. Li Zheng could only understand the other party calling his name, but he didn't understand a single word.
"It seems to be in trouble." Miriel pointed to Kota's ear, where no translation props were worn. "It was robbed."
"I see." Li Zheng dissipated the mental power around him, got up and walked outside the greenhouse.
I asked Kota and the others to return the translation props, so it is self-evident who robbed them.
Miriel also wanted to follow, Li Zheng turned his head and said, "You stay with Xiao Ying, I can go by myself."
"OK then……"
Miriel weighed his own strength. If he went with him, he would only become a burden. It is better to stay here and wait for Li Zheng to come back.
"Then you should be careful along the way. If things don't work, we will suffer some losses and look for opportunities in the future." She urged worriedly, like a wife sending her husband out for work.
"I know." Li Zheng waved his hand and led Kota, who was in the best condition, towards the registration office.
On the way, he turned around and entered a store, where all kinds of translation props were sold, choose the cheapest one, put it on Kota, and then let him tell himself what happened.
