Chapter 5 Trading
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Wang Dong got down to business.

"I will be in the City of Gods for a few days. I have a good understanding of the situation here. Brother Xingyu, please tell me if you need any resources. Maybe I can provide some clues."

"I need food and equipment." Su Xingyu said.

After annexing the Barbarian Bull and Giant Tiger tribes, the population of the Night Tribe grew rapidly and continued to expand. Winter was approaching and he needed more food.

As for equipment, the Night Tribe has an iron smelting furnace provided by the system and many blacksmiths. Generally speaking, there is no shortage of equipment.

However, Su Xingyu recently planned to expand the army and incorporate all the conquered warriors into it. As a result, the forging speed of the Ye tribe could not keep up.

If the equipment was available here, he wouldn't mind spending money to buy a batch.

After annexing two large tribes, he didn't have much else, but a lot of blood crystals.

"Food, equipment..."

Hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was only for a moment, and he returned to normal, smiling and said: "There are not many other commodities here, but there are a lot of food and equipment. We have as much as you want... I just don't know how much you want to buy, brother?"

"Let's start with 400,000 units." Su Xingyu thought for a while and said.

According to the system's algorithm, 1 unit of food can meet an average person's consumption for one month.

The Ye Tribe itself has a lot of inventory, and with the inventory of the major tribes, it shouldn't be a problem for them to survive this cold winter.

However, since we are preparing to train troops, this amount of food is definitely not enough.

After all, we need to train our soldiers, we can't just stay at home.

If you want to exercise, then your appetite will inevitably increase, not to mention how many people will reach the extraordinary level during this process.

Those guys with extraordinary strength all have amazing appetites.

In this case, it would never be a wrong idea to store more food.

"How much..how much???"

Wang Dong, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the tea when he heard it.

"Four hundred thousand units, how come... there aren't that many?" Su Xingyu frowned slightly.

Wang Dong came back to his senses and quickly said:

"Yes, yes, yes... How can there be nothing? Brother, drink some tea first. I'll have someone send the food over right away."

Oh shit, big client!

Wang Dong used the communication function provided by the system and immediately contacted a big businessman in the communication list.

At this stage, 400,000 units of food could definitely be considered a super large order, and only a few people could come up with so much food on their own.

However, Wang Dong happened to know such a big businessman.

Not long after, a figure came hurriedly. It was a middle-aged man who was two meters tall, with a round belly and a blessed look.

"Wang boy, if you dare to play tricks on me again this time, don't even think about taking advantage of me in the future." The middle-aged man rushed into the yard, shouting curses.

"Uncle Huang, you really can't blame me for what happened last time. How would I know that the kid didn't know about prices..." Wang Dong walked up to him and quickly complained.

The middle-aged man came to Wang Dong's side, pulled over a chair and sat on it, then looked at Su Xingyu opposite him.

"Is this the brother who wants to buy food?"

"Ah."

Wang Dong nodded, then smiled and said:
"Brother Xingyu is visiting the City of Gods for the first time. He trusts me and asked me to help introduce him. Uncle Huang, you have to sell it at a lower price. Given our relationship, you should at least give me a 10% discount."

The middle-aged man twitched his lips, glared at him, and then said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Duoduo, a religious spirit."

Su Xingyu nodded slightly: "Xingyu, the leader of the main gods."

"You want to buy 400,000 units of food, which is not cheap. Excuse me, this is your first time in the City of Gods, and you may not be familiar with the prices here."

"Don't worry, as long as there is no problem with your food, I can eat it."

In the City of Gods, food is not expensive. One unit of divine source can buy 1 units of food, which is the kind that comes with 10/ of dried meat. So, let alone , even if the price doubles, Su Xingyu can definitely eat it all.

Seeing this, Huang Duoduo didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and two small mountains of food appeared in the yard beside him. One pile was rice and the other pile was dried meat. These were samples.

"These grains have all been authenticated by the City of Gods, there won't be any problems..." As he spoke, Huang Duoduo took out a card with the three words "Certificate of Conformity" engraved on it.

Su Xingyu glanced at it casually and nodded with satisfaction, "Blood Crystal Stone Transaction."

"Okay." A smile appeared on Huang Duoduo's face.

In the City of Gods, there are currently three hard currencies: World Origin, God Origin, and Attribute Crystal. Among them, World Origin is the most precious, and no one will trade it unless they are at the end of their rope.

Divine Source is a second-level currency, converted from the power of faith. As long as believers are still there, it can be produced continuously.

However, the divine source also has many functions, such as condensing divinity, helping gods to practice, performing divine arts, blessing believers, etc.

There are many gods who use divine resources for exchange, after all, this is a resource that can be produced sustainably.

As for crystals, it all depends on luck. If there are many crystal veins in the territory, then there will be money.

The Night Tribe currently has five crystal veins, four of which are blood crystals and one is a dark magic crystal.

To put it simply, he is very rich.

Huang Duoduo's eyes lit up, and he did a quick calculation. "The current price of food in the City of Gods is one unit of God's Source for four hundred units of food. If converted into blood crystals, it would cost one hundred thousand blood crystals..."

"Cough cough..."

There was a light cough beside me.

Huang Duoduo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "But you and I hit it off right away, and you are Xiao Wang's friend, so I'll give you a 10% discount, 90,000 will be enough."

"It's a very fair price." Su Xingyu nodded.

之前闲逛的时候，他便已经询问过粮食的价格，与神源的兑换比都在1：400～1：430之间波动，血晶石则是1：4.2左右。

In this period of rapid expansion, food prices are ridiculously high.

Relatively speaking, the price Huang Duoduo gave was very fair, and he also gave him a discount, saving him 10,000 blood crystals.

The two of them completed the transaction readily. With the notarization of the City of Gods, Su Xingyu was not worried that the other party would cheat him.

"Brother Xingyu, if you need to buy food in the future, you can continue to come to me. I will give you discounts for large quantities."

One hundred thousand blood crystals were nothing to Su Xingyu, and he could save them up after a while.

However, not everyone is as rich as him. Huang Duoduo is a religious god. The power he holds is not good at fighting, so there is only one crystal mine so far.

After deducting the expenses incurred in daily practice, there won’t be much left.

These 100,000 blood crystals are enough for him to expand another legion.

"okay."

Although 400,000 units of food are a lot, they cannot accommodate the larger population of the Ye tribe. And given the current situation of the Ye tribe, it is unrealistic to achieve self-sufficiency in a short period of time.

So it won't be long before he comes back.

It would do him no harm to make friends with a stable grain merchant.

The two added each other as friends.

Seeing that the transaction was completed, Huang Duoduo wanted to get up and say goodbye and go back to develop his legion.

Su Xingyu suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped him, "Do you have high-yield grain seeds?"

It is better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself.

The land in the Black Soil Plain is very fertile. If all of it is planted with crops, the Night Tribe can completely achieve food freedom.

Food is the lifeblood of a tribe. If possible, Su Xingyu doesn't want to be controlled by others.

"No matter how much you want, I can just give it to you. You don't have to buy it. Just consider it a gift." Huang Duoduo said with a smile.

The main reason he was able to produce so much food was because of his divine power.

Even the most ordinary seeds, with the blessing of his divine power, are better than those high-yield seeds, so he is not afraid at all that this will cause trouble to his business.

"It's a bit too much, I'd better just buy it." Su Xingyu said with an embarrassed look.

"It's okay, I don't have much else, just a lot of seeds." Huang Duoduo waved his hand generously.

"Ten thousand units."

Huang Duoduo: “…”

Wang Dong: "..."

Huang Duoduo was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Just ten thousand units, it's nothing." After that, he applied for a transaction with Su Xingyu.

Su Xingyu smiled, but had no intention of taking advantage of him. He completed the transaction with Huang Duoduo using five thousand blood crystals.
