Immortal in The Apocalypse

Unlike the middle-aged woman who was worried that Ji Yang would close the stall early, there was actually not even a single person selling ores to them until now. Everyone who visits their stall either comes to buy their water or food.

Since a large number of crystal nucleus were needed to break through the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, Zhu Lin decided to sell the food and water while waiting for those who would come to sell ores.

After nearly two hours after opening the stall, Ren Yuan finally came back together with Wei Bai and Liang Ming. Seeing the three of them approaching their stall, Tan Wei finally smiled.

He stood up, greeted Ren Yuan with a bright smile, and asked, "Brother, have you brought the ore?"

Ren Yuan nodded, placed the heavy sack on the ground, and said, "I brought all the ores I have. I also brought my friends with me."

Ji Yang smiled at the three of them and said, "Can we check the ore first?"

"Of course." Ren Yuan said as he opened the sack and took out a large black ore.

Ji Yang’s eyes flickered when he saw the size and purity of the black ore. As the first person to discover black ore, Ji Yang knows more about black ore than anyone else after doing a lot of tests. He took the black ore from Ren Yuan’s hand and examined it carefully.

After a while, Ji Yang returned the black ore to Ren Yuan and asked, "What do you want to exchange for the black ore?"

Ren Yuan glanced at the things on the long table and said, "I want corn, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and water. You can weigh my ore first, and then give me the equal amount of what I just selected."

Ji Yang nodded and said, "All right. Put your ore on the scale."

After hearing what he said, Ren Yuan easily picked up the heavy sack with one hand and placed it on the big scale. A few seconds later, Ji Yang said, "One hundred and twenty kilograms. I will give you six kilograms of corn, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and six liters of water."

After Ji Yang finished speaking, Tan Wei weighed the corn, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes, while Zhu Lin refilled the empty bottles Wei Bai gave her. In just two minutes, they finished the transaction.

Seeing how much food and water Ren Yuan got in exchange for two days worth of ore, Wen Bai and Liang Ming quickly exchanged their ores with food and water. Five minutes later, the three of them said they would bring ore again tomorrow and left.

In one transaction, they collected five hundred kilograms of black ore. Although it looks like a lot of black ore, after some processing, the amount is barely enough to make a small piece of metal. The amount of black ore required to build the wall surrounding the resort area is a lot. Their plan to build a wall purely out of black ore is very ambitious indeed.

Shortly after Ren Yuan, Wei Bai and Liang Ming left, the middle-aged woman came over with a young man. Seeing that they were still there, the middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Yang saw her coming, smiled and greeted her politely, and asked, "Did you bring the ore, Madam?"

The middle-aged woman nodded and placed the small plastic bag on the long table. Ji Yang opened the plastic bag and saw some ice blue colored ore inside. The moment Ji Yang took out a small ice blue colored ore, Zhu Lin suddenly stood up and looked at the ore in his hand.

Her sudden movement startled Ji Yang. He looked at her, patted his heart and asked, "Xiao Lin, what’s wrong?"

Zhu Lin did not answer his question, but took the ore in his hand. She stared at the ore for a long time, then looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Madam, do you still have more of this ore?"

The middle-aged woman heard Zhu Lin’s question and looked at her in surprise. After a few seconds, the middle-aged woman came to her senses and said quickly: "I only have so much ore for now. But I can find more tomorrow."

Listening to the middle-aged woman’s words, Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Madam, you can choose what you want from these."

When the middle-aged woman heard Zhu Lin’s words, she couldn’t hold back her joy. Without hesitation, she pointed at the watermelon and said, "Can I have that watermelon?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman’s question, Zhu Lin looked at the watermelon weighing more than ten kilograms. Seeing that she was just staring at the watermelon without speaking, the middle-aged woman was worried that if she asked her to cut the watermelon, Zhu Lin would refuse to accept her ore.

Before the middle-aged woman could choose an orange, Zhu Lin picked up the watermelon and handed it to the middle-aged woman. At the same time, she said, "Madam, if you have more ore, please sell it to me first."

The middle-aged woman was holding a big watermelon and couldn’t believe what she just heard. Seeing the middle-aged woman still staring at Zhu Lin in a daze, the young man next to her patted her arm and said, "Auntie, didn’t you say you were going to get medicine for your husband? Why are you still standing here in a daze?"

After hearing the young man’s question, the middle-aged woman came back to her senses. She held the big watermelon tightly, bowed deeply to Zhu Lin, and said, "Thank you, Miss. I will definitely repay your kindness."

Zhu Lin looked at the tears in the corners of the middle-aged woman’s eyes for a second and calmly said, "You don’t need to repay me. What you get right now is what you earn."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she bowed deeply to Zhu Lin again and left in a hurry.
