Anyway, all the guests at Jianglin Hotel, as long as they have money, each basically owns one.
Now it’s a seller’s market, the price depends on whether Chu Jiangyue has a conscience.
However, Chu Jiangyue believed that she still had a bit of conscience.
Otherwise, if this item was in someone else’s hands, 60 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores might not even buy a collar.
The man felt that 60 Level 1 Crystal Cores for just 30 days of wear was a bit expensive, but in terms of daily cost, it’s just 2 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores a day, which is really not expensive.
"Give us 100 sets first, we’ll give you the crystals later."
"Sure, our car is parked over there, you can come find me anytime once you’re ready with the crystals."
Chu Jiangyue pointed at her car.
Seeing the car Chu Jiangyue and the others were driving, a flash of keen interest appeared in the man’s eyes.
If he wasn’t mistaken, all these vehicles were of the same model.
Finding a drivable car nowadays is already incredibly lucky; getting matching models is nearly impossible unless you’re military personnel using military vehicles.
However, seeing them in silver-white color, it was clear they were definitely not military vehicles.
The man gave Chu Jiangyue a deep look; just based on the vehicle models, this group’s strength was not to be underestimated.
Furthermore, he was familiar with all the teams in T City’s bases and had never seen Chu Jiangyue’s team before.
This could only mean they had come from out of town.
Being able to cross cities and arrive safely is not something an ordinary team could accomplish.
Even he couldn’t guarantee he could safely lead this many people across a city.
With the snowy and icy conditions outside, they’d likely lose their way shortly after setting out.
As they needed to prepare the crystals, the man returned to the base with his subordinates.
Chu Jiangyue chose an open area and had everyone park their vehicles one next to another.
About 20 minutes later, the man from before emerged from the base with others, heading straight for Chu Jiangyue’s off-road vehicle.
At this time, Chu Jiangyue was finishing a meal in her essential travel tent, having invited Shen Zhigui and Lin Xuyuan to eat with her since they had just helped promote the cold-proof thermal suits.
However, what Chu Jiangyue served Shen Zhigui and Lin Xuyuan were dishes unlocked from the System Mall, while she herself was eating dumplings made by Granny Hua.
Cheng Yuchen arrived at the entrance of Chu Jiangyue’s tent and was wide-eyed at the sight of the dishes Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui were having.
They actually had white rice, braised pork, and stir-fried green vegetables!
Meat was one thing, but having white rice and green vegetables was truly excessive.
"Miss Chu, we’re here to buy the cold-proof thermal suits."
Though he spoke to Chu Jiangyue, Cheng Yuchen’s eyes were fixed on the food on the table,
particularly the dumplings in front of Chu Jiangyue, which captivated him the most.
Chu Jiangyue walked out of the tent: "6000 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores, or 600 Level 2 Zombie Crystal Cores, you can pay however you like."
Not giving Cheng Yuchen any chance to haggle, Chu Jiangyue quoted the price directly, "I also accept Level 3 Crystal Cores if you have them. 60 Level 3 Zombie Crystal Cores."
Anyway, Chu Jiangyue accepted all kinds of Crystal Cores.
"They’re all here, you can count them."
Having said that, Cheng Yuchen signaled to someone behind him, who quickly stepped forward and, with a wave, dumped a heap of crystal cores like a small mountain.
So it turned out it was a Space Ability User; it seemed Cheng Yuchen’s base team must be quite strong.
Otherwise, that Space Ability User would surely have slipped through his fingers.
Of course, Chu Jiangyue didn’t count each one but waved them directly into her System Backpack.
Well, it ended up being 3000 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores, 200 Level 2 Zombie Crystal Cores, and 10 Level 3 Zombie Crystal Cores.
The total value was exactly the same as the 6000 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores Chu Jiangyue mentioned before.
When Chu Jiangyue stored the Zombie Crystal Cores in her System Backpack, it automatically categorized them and, most importantly, clearly displayed the number.
So the moment Chu Jiangyue stored the Zombie Crystal Cores, she already knew if Cheng Yuchen had delivered the correct amount.
If Cheng Yuchen dared to skimp, Chu Jiangyue would immediately cancel the transaction.
"The number of Crystal Cores is correct, here are your cold-proof thermal suits."
With another wave of her hand, Chu Jiangyue turned the place where the Zombie Crystal Cores had been into 100 sets of cold-proof thermal suits.
Seeing the suits identical to those worn by his subordinates, Cheng Yuchen’s eyes shone.
Without needing any prompting from Cheng Yuchen, the Space Ability User eagerly collected all the thermal suits from the ground.
"All clear!" said Chu Jiangyue, ready to return to the tent and finish her dinner while it was still warm.
"Miss Chu, I just saw you have white rice and green vegetables; could you sell some to me?"
Cheng Yuchen felt embarrassed even while asking, but the aroma of the food wafting from the tent was too tantalizing to resist.
Chu Jiangyue glanced at the food in the tent and, considering the current shortage of supplies, understood Cheng Yuchen’s longing.
"Sure, braised pork, sweet and sour ribs, vinegar-sautéed shredded potatoes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, white rice, steamed buns, and large meat-filled buns... what do you want?"
Hearing the dish names, Cheng Yuchen couldn’t help but swallow hard.
At that moment, the words "want to eat" were the only thing on his mind.
"Twenty portions of all meals, including rice and steamed buns!"
As the captain of the superpower team, he needed to provide benefits for his members; hogging everything was out of the question.
Upon hearing Cheng Yuchen’s request, Chu Jiangyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Alright, 1000 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores as a package deal, you can offset it with Level 2 and Level 3 Zombie Crystal Cores."
Hearing Chu Jiangyue’s quote, Cheng Yuchen felt as though he was buying cabbages.
Getting so many things for just 1000 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores really felt like charity work.
Cheng Yuchen directly had the Space Ability User produce 1000 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores, then looked at Chu Jiangyue with anticipation.
As usual, Chu Jiangyue collected the crystals, confirmed the quantity was correct, and ordered 20 sets of all meals from the System Mall.
"If you place them here, they’ll get cold quickly; perhaps find a spot?"
Given how cold the weather was, the once steaming-hot meals ordered from the System Mall would freeze and harden soon after being taken out.
This was why Chu Jiangyue ate inside the tent.
Inside the essential travel tent, the temperature was isolated from the extreme cold outside.
Inside, it felt just like fall before the apocalypse, maintaining a comfortable human temperature.
"This tent of yours..."
"60 Zombie Crystal Cores per piece, like the cold-proof thermal suits, only lasts 30 days."
This price made Cheng Yuchen hesitant.
"If you want to buy it, hurry up. Once I give you the meals, I can still catch my hot dinner."
