Seeing Yue You about to trap Ren Jian, Wen Qingtian saw through it but didn't expose it, even finding it amusing.
He wouldn't warn or stop him, because this was the outcome he desired.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits; he was the fisherman.
As expected, Ren Jian used all of his four hundred thousand chips to buy five thousand jin of tomatoes.
Unsurprisingly, he was likely the biggest customer at today's trade fair, spending the most money for the least product, and he had basically fulfilled his promise to Ming Yue.
Ren Jian repeated the gesture Yue You had made to him, his face filled with mockery.
Yue You ignored him, his expression unchanged, cursing him as an idiot in his heart.
However, being tricked without realizing it, and still being happy, such a fool was also enviable, because he would always be happy.
Ren Jian's purchase of five thousand jin of tomatoes for four hundred thousand chips made others feel that five thousand chips for five thousand jin of tomatoes was a low price, neither too cheap nor too expensive.
Tomatoes had been auctioned in five rounds, and some bases only spent twenty thousand chips to acquire five thousand jin of tomatoes, feeling they had gained three hundred and eighty thousand.
Thus, in the subsequent auctions, they all raised their paddles, and the auctions proceeded furiously, with everyone losing their composure.
Only Ren Jian, having no money left, could only watch others buy with longing eyes.
Especially when it came to the dried meat auction, which he loved the most, he was on the verge of tears, regretting not having competed with Yue You earlier.
In the end, members of the White Tiger Base, seeing how desperately he craved it, bought him two hundred jin of dried meat for ten thousand chips.
Compared to other bases that bought large quantities of rice and flour, the Azure Dragon Base purchased fruits and vegetables.
When the auction ended, everyone had exchanged their brought resources for food, with not a single chip left.
They then realized that the food from the Ming Yue Base was not as scarce as Wen Qingtian had claimed.
But it didn't matter anymore; this trade fair had indeed solved their urgent need.
At least for a while, they wouldn't go hungry. The leaders of each base called upon their space ability users.
They stored the purchased food, bid farewell to Ji Shiyou and Wen Qingtian with smiles, and left Yunmeng Mountain.
"City Lord Ji, Minister Wen, may I have a moment with City Lord Ming Yue?"
Zhao Wumian did not leave immediately. Instead, he found Wen Qingtian and Ji Shiyou and expressed his request to purchase crop seeds.
Ji Shiyou flatly refused. Zhao Wumian then tried to probe for information on soil improvement methods. After not receiving any effective information, he requested to see Ming Yue.
"Mr. Zhao, our leader is very busy. I can relay any message you have."
Ji Shiyou had no good feelings towards Zhao Wumian. He had been pestering him with questions earlier, clearly with ulterior motives.
Moreover, when Ming Yue had appeared earlier, he had clearly sensed that Zhao Wumian's gaze towards Ming Yue was not right; this was his sixth sense as a boyfriend.
"If City Lord Ming Yue is truly unable to spare the time, it would be fine if you could relay it for me. It's just a personal matter.
It's a bit embarrassing to say, but please tell her that I like her and wish to pursue her.
I know this is abrupt, but in the apocalypse, we don't concern ourselves with such formalities. I'll trouble you!"
Zhao Wumian said he was embarrassed, but his face showed no shyness at all. Ji Shiyou wanted to punch him.
His intuition was correct; this shameless person was his love rival.
Furthermore, only someone as shameless as Zhao Wumian could do something like sending a message to confess. What kind of behavior was this?
"Mr. Zhao, let me be clear: I cannot deliver this message.
Because I, Ji Shiyou, am Ming Yue's fiancé.
If there is nothing else, please leave quickly. I won't see you out!"
Ji Shiyou suppressed his anger with all his might, as he was currently in the position of vice-city lord. Furthermore, he did not want to embarrass Ming Yue.
He didn't want Zhao Wumian to think that the man Ming Yue fancied was an impulsive brute.
However, he was cunning enough to upgrade his status from boyfriend to fiancé.
"Fiancé, that means not married yet. I still have a chance."
As if suddenly enlightened, Zhao Wumian, with Yue You in tow, leisurely walked down the mountain.
"Don't stop me. Today, I'm going to kill this shameless bastard."
Even though he knew Zhao Wumian was deliberately provoking him, Ji Shiyou still wanted to act, but Wen Qingtian grabbed him.
"Brother, you can't kill him. He's a level ten Metal ability user.
Help me inventory those resources. Dr. You Hen will probably go crazy with joy. We've made a fortune today."
Wen Qingtian had witnessed Zhao Wumian's abilities on the bus. He feared Ji Shiyou would be at a disadvantage if he fought.
He quickly stopped him and diverted his attention, assigning Ji Shiyou a task.
"I'll go find Ming Yue. You can do the inventory yourself!"
Knowing Zhao Wumian's strength, Ji Shiyou calmed down, his expression somewhat dejected, and turned to leave.
Zhao Wumian, leading Yue You and two space ability users from the Azure Dragon Base, left the vicinity of Yunmeng Mountain.
He instructed the two ability users to take the food and return directly to the base, while he and Yue You got into an off-road vehicle.
"Snake Two has already been killed by me. I don't know if Huan Li's mission is complete. Let's go to the agreed-upon place to wait for her."
Zhao Wumian sat in the back seat, his expression somewhat grim. He hadn't intended to kill Snake Two initially, but with Ming Yue's increasingly heaven-defying methods,
He felt Snake Two was a threat, and Ming Yue might have the ability to make Snake Two talk, so he acted to silence him.
"Huan Li shouldn't fail."
Although Yue You had just learned that Zhao Wumian had killed Snake Two, there was no surprise on his face, as if he had expected it.
He glanced at Zhao Wumian in the rearview mirror, started the car, and drove into the distance.
Ji Shiyou searched the entire base but could not find Ming Yue. He could only patiently return to the plaza and help everyone clean up the trade fair site.
"Where is Bu Zhi?"
Seeing everyone working, but Bu Zhi was missing, Ji Shiyou asked.
"Haven't seen him. I haven't seen him since the auction started. He might have hidden somewhere to slack off.
We'll be done soon, no need to look for him. We'll punish him with massages for everyone tonight."
Gong Que was using his Earth ability to clear away the tables, chairs, and stage, restoring the plaza.
Hearing Ji Shiyou's question, he joked from the side. Ji Shiyou, who was already annoyed, didn't press the matter.
They didn't know that Bu Zhi was not within the base; he had already left the Yunhai area.
His task today was to set up the exhibition and keep the displayed fruits and vegetables fresh, creating dew.
After the auction began, his work was finished, as he was no longer needed.
He had been procrastinating all morning and felt a bit annoyed, wanting to find a quiet place for a while.
After the trade fair ended, he would return to help clean up the mess with everyone, so he left the plaza.
He walked down the mountain path, originally just intending to stroll. When he reached the foot of the mountain,
He saw a figure flash in the farmland and then disappear.
He immediately became vigilant. Judging by the person's clothing, they were clearly not from the base.
Those who came to attend the trade fair were all at the venue; only the over-quota members of the White Tiger Base were at the foot of the mountain.
Could it be that those people took advantage of no one paying attention to sneak into the farmland and pick things? Thinking this was possible, Bu Zhi ran towards the farmland.
