Chapter 126 Trading
Back in the cave, Ruan Mianmian approached Zhi and suggested they discuss something. The two then sat down by the campfire to talk.
At this time, Sen, Yu, and Yong also sat down next to them. Now, whenever there are any major issues in the clan, they are the ones who discuss and resolve them together.
"Yes, I'm about to make a trade. We have several items to choose from. Could you help me see which ones the tribe needs or can use?"
After speaking, she looked at Sen and the others and said, "You should also take this into consideration, and think about what else the tribe needs in winter. I can make suggestions to the Beast God as appropriate."
Ruan Mianmian never intended to expose the system. Since they believed in the Beast God and revered her as a goddess, she could simply attribute all the problems to the Beast God.
"After completing this snow accumulation mission, we can choose between cactus fruit, camel meat, spices, and sand crystals. However, I don't think spices are very useful; they're not of any use to us orcs, so we can ignore them."
This was the first time Zhi had ever heard of making demands or trading with the Beast God. Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, he hurriedly said, "Chief, it is our duty to serve the Beast God, but we cannot make demands of him. That would be extremely disrespectful!"
Although Yong and the others didn't say anything, their faces showed some disapproval.
Ruan Mianmian's heart skipped a beat; she had been careless. She had underestimated the respect these orcs held for their beast god.
"Uh, I think you've misunderstood. The person I'm trading with is my friend, who is also a subordinate of the Beast God. They have their needs, but even so, there still needs to be an exchange, right? The Beast God teaches us to be fair and just!"
Ruan Mianmian had no choice but to pretend to be a charlatan.
Upon hearing this, they quickly apologized, saying they had misheard. If it wasn't the Beast God, then something would indeed need to be exchanged.
“Then let’s choose camel meat,” Zhi said after thinking for a moment. “Food is scarce in winter, and camel meat is a type of meat that can be stored. Although I’ve never eaten it before, the food in the divine realm must be very delicious.”
"Hmm, not bad." Ruan Mianmian nodded. "Then we'll switch to camel meat. What about cactus fruit?"
“What is that? We’ve never seen it on the Orcish Continent. We don’t know if it’s edible,” Yong interjected.
“Cactus fruit is also a kind of food,” Ruan Mianmian said. “I’ve never eaten it, but I’ve seen others eat it. It’s a kind of fruit, rich in various vitamins, and it’s quite good.”
"Then we can exchange a small amount first," Yu suggested. "If we like it, we can ask for more later if we have the chance."
"What is that sand crystal?" Sen asked the most crucial question at this moment.
Ruan Mianmian became excited upon hearing Sen's words. After she explained the function and benefits of the sand crystal, everyone agreed that it was a good idea to switch to it.
“Alright, it’s settled then.” Ruan Mianmian made the decision. “Yong, you arrange for the tribesmen to prepare to slaughter the camels. Yu, you arrange for everyone to prepare a lot of vine baskets to store the immortal fruit. Sen, see where in the cave is a suitable place to put the sand crystals. Once we get them, we’ll put a layer in the cave and see the effect.”
After Ruan Mianmian distributed the instructions, she contacted the system to conduct the transaction.
"System, my items are ready. How do I complete the transaction?"
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's question, the system quickly replied: "Host, first add the other person as a friend. After adding them as a friend, there will be a trade button. Click on it, and all the items in your storage space will appear. Select the item you want to trade and click send. Of course, the same process applies when the other person gives you something."
Upon hearing how easy it was, Ruan Mianmian quickly found the other person and added them as a friend, and they accepted the request instantly.
"Hello, have you prepared a large amount of ice and snow?" the other person asked eagerly, looking like they couldn't wait.
"Yes, I've already prepared everything here. You can just collect it directly. However, I only want camel meat and sand crystals. A small amount of cactus fruit is fine, but I don't need spices. I'll send you the goods first so you can check the quantity. As for what you need, you can decide what to give!"
After saying that, Ruan Mianmian sent him everything she had collected, including the snow from the avalanche she had collected from the wolf clan.
But Ruan Mianmian waited for a long time, and there was still no response.
"System, will they not keep my things and refuse to replace them? Although snow isn't worth much, it's still the fruit of our tribe's orcs' labor!"
Seeing that the other party hadn't made any move, Ruan Mianmian anxiously asked the system.
"Impossible. Our system is controlled by the mainframe. If something like that happened on his end, he would be blacklisted and unable to continue any transactions. No ordinary person would do that."
"Let's wait and see," the system reassured us.
After a while, news finally came from the other side.
"Sorry, something came up and I was delayed. I received everything you sent, and I'm very satisfied. I've prepared the goods according to your requirements and will send them to you now."
Soon, a bunch of things appeared in Ruan Mianmian's storage space.
She examined them carefully: one hundred camels, one hundred sand crystals, and a large pile of cactus fruits, but didn't look at them closely.
"It's a pleasure working with you! Feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future," the other party messaged.
"Okay, thank you!" Ruan Mianmian replied happily.
We're rich! We're rich! We've struck it rich!
