Facing the scar-faced leader, asking about other vegetables.
Lin Yi, without thinking, opened his mouth: "We can grow anything, selling potatoes because they're easier to store and transport—"
"What about grains? Like... wheat!?" The scar-faced leader interrupted Lin Yi excitedly, eyes full of anticipation, as if what he wanted was not wheat, but a pile of glittering treasure.
Grains? Wheat?
Lin Yi was momentarily puzzled, not understanding why the other party was so obsessed with wheat.
The scar-faced leader seemed to see his confusion and said frankly, "We need wheat to brew beer... alcohol has become extremely scarce now, and people here are under too much pressure..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was struck with sudden realization.
Business opportunity!
A huge business opportunity!
Why didn't I think of this!?
In this zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world, people constantly face the threat of death, and the pressure increases day by day.
And ways to relieve stress, besides women, isn't it alcohol?
"Got it. I'll think of a way." Lin Yi suppressed his inner excitement.
The scar-faced leader, upon hearing this, immediately beamed with joy.
He clapped his hands and stood up enthusiastically: "That is so grateful! I will give you..."
Soon after, Lin Yi was shaking hands with the scar-faced man outside the camp, then turned and headed into the waterway.
Lin Yi knew clearly!
Beer is definitely a big business, but the craft of brewing beer requires finding professional people.
The Commercial Building camp doesn't have it, and the Sacred Heart Cathedral likely doesn't either.
The Louvre does have a tavern though...
The sewer was dark and damp.
As Lin Yi thought, he placed three tons of potatoes at the location agreed with Immanuel.
Afterwards, he walked in the sewer for a few more minutes, found the manhole cover leading to the Sacred Heart Cathedral, and climbed up.
Unexpectedly—
This time, what greeted him was not a dark gun muzzle, but an unopened Cuban cigar,
Lin Yi looked up in surprise at the seedy man holding the gun.
"A gift for you." The man's voice was sharp, with a hint of shyness.
Damn you! Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart, goosebumps all over his body.
But what hasn't he seen before?
Lin Yi thought for a moment, took the cigar, then pretended to rummage in his backpack, but was actually searching in the Shelter's warehouse.
Soon, he pulled out a book and handed it over to the man with the gun expressionlessly: "Here..."
The man with the gun excitedly took it, but the moment he saw the title, he was dumbfounded.
On the cover of the book, it boldly read—
[I'm Not! I Don't Understand, But Respect!]
Soon, Immanuel hurried over with his men.
With the previous transaction experience, the inspection and weighing of the three tons of potatoes went very quickly this time.
During the last transaction, Lin Yi showed a keen interest in buying equipment, so this time Immanuel directly took him to the Sacred Heart Cathedral's resource warehouse.
The two walked through a heavily guarded camp, along a long, dimly lit corridor, straight to the cathedral's basement.
At this moment, the basement had been converted into a large material storage depot, with rows of sturdy metal shelves.
Food, water, living supplies, and weapons and ammunition were classified and stored inside.
Immanuel pointed to a room, smiled, and said to Lin Yi: "Inside here are system equipment that no one is using right now, feel free to browse, and we'll talk about prices if you find something you like."
Lin Yi walked to a sword rack and picked up a sword.
[Black One-Handed Sword, Level 3]
[Ha, you think you want to fight monsters? This sword is way sharper than the basic model, cutting zombies is like cutting vegetables!]
[But you better be careful, don't hurt yourself and complain about the sword, that only proves how weak you are!]
Lin Yi's face darkened, couldn't help but mutter: "This Level 3 system weapon is described as if I'm an idiot!"
"Oh, idiot!?" Immanuel happened to hear him, full of surprise, "Didn't you know? Most of the time, item descriptions are very ordinary."
The elder said, picking up the sword and examining it carefully, "But the system gives special descriptions to some people, which could be mockery, or very detailed, sometimes even fake."
Lin Yi remained silent, but his face looked increasingly unpleasant.
Immanuel chuckled and continued, "It's said that those who can see special descriptions are actually favored by the system, for example—"
He paused, stared at Lin Yi with deep eyes, and said word by word, "Ordinary people can't see item levels!"
Lin Yi laughed awkwardly twice, but he wasn't impressed at all.
To get item level information, you have to be mocked by the system, he wasn't interested at all.
He pointed at the two Level 3 black one-handed swords in front of him and asked Immanuel: "How much?"
Immanuel held up four fingers: "400 coins for one, if it's Level 2, only 50 coins."
Lin Yi struggled: "My one-handed sword in the Louvre cost me a whopping 100 coins!"
Immanuel shrugged, indicating that of all the camps, the prices in the Louvre are the most inflated.
He remarked with hostility: "The leaders there are always scheming about how to drain every last bit of value from the refugees!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart.
At present, he hasn't conducted major transactions with the upper echelons of the Louvre. It seems that, for future dealings, he must be very careful.
After considering, he picked up a piece of armor again.
[Light Leather Armor, Level 2]
[With your small courage, you still want to venture out? This leather armor is just for psychological comfort, don't really think it's a Golden Bell Shield!]
[If you encounter a powerful zombie, how long it can hold up is questionable, don't cry later that it's useless!]
Lin Yi's face darkened again, both angry and annoyed, he put down the armor and picked up a bow.
[Almost Self-made Bow, Level 2]
[For the timid who don't dare to get close to zombies. Remember, archery is a skill, don't think you can hit the target easily, don't blame the bow if you lack the skill!]
Good stuff!
Lin Yi gently stroked the bow, feeling a little excited.
His Shelter doesn't lack metal, later he can have Mechanician Louis craft some arrows.
He'll then find a secure and advantageous building, taking out zombies from afar, wouldn't that be great?
[Please see the full description...]
Suddenly, a prompt sounded in Lin Yi's mind.
He was stunned at first, then looked down at the bow.
[Don't foolishly use ordinary arrows to kill zombies! Only arrows made with magic can give you experience and loot after killing zombies, don't always think about slacking off!]
[Crafting one arrow consumes 1 unit of magic power, crafting speed depends on your magic value!]
Great!
I've become someone who slacks off...
Lin Yi sighed helplessly and began choosing purchases.
He selected:
Level 1 Vaccine Bracelet*2, Remaining doses: 1/4
Level 1 Mage Gloves*2, Skill power increase: 2
One Level 3 sword, four Level 2 swords, one bow, two sets of Level 2 armor, and some small items.
Total payment was 5050 coins!
Lin Yi didn't hesitate for a moment, directly swapping into the equipment he needed to use.
Then began checking attributes...
