This was the most surprising thing for Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming was not ignorant and wasn’t one of those who had illusions of evolving skills to the highest levels.
He knew that getting one skill was luck. To upgrade the skill to another level was very difficult.
Not only did you need to be rich, but you also needed luck to get what you wanted from parts of the world with many wheels.
In the ten years of his last life, if there were a hundred with skills or equipment that could be upgraded, only one or two managed to upgrade them.
So when he saw this scroll, he was shocked.
He gained the Basic Human Puppet Technique at the start of the apocalypse, and only a year had passed. Even if he had the skill to upgrade the recipe, he didn’t think he was so lucky to get the required scroll within a year.
Moreover, as Ye Zhongming created Red Hair using the Basic Human Puppet Technique, she also became the most special person in his faction, so he cared a lot about this skill.
Now that he saw the intermediate grade scroll, he couldn’t help but show interest.
Moreover, he had seen that silver zombie in his last life that reached the strength of a seven-star evolved. That was made through the intermediate grade technique.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeople who could become merchants in the apocalypse were all very sharp. Old Jia saw the glimpse of joy on Ye Zhongming’s face and knew that this young man was interested in this thing. He started to think about what price to ask.
He thought about how those bunch of materials could get a one-star potion from him, so this scroll that was useful for him was worth more.
Old Jia hesitated. In terms of base price, it didn’t cost much. He used five kilograms of mutated pig meat to trade it from a survivor squad. He kept it for a few months. En, then he shall ask for a three-star potion.
Right, the same as what he sold the Death King Tree seeds for!
“Price.”
Ye Zhongming waved the scroll and asked.
Old Jia acted reluctant and sighed, “I wanted to keep this for my son, but I shall bear the pain since you are interested in it. I don’t want much, just the price I paid for it. En, a three-star potion!”
The others rolled their eyes when they heard it.
Everyone knew that the scrolls in the bag were all old goods and were things that other people weren’t interested in and couldn’t use. Did he want a three-star potion for it? He was crazy! Three-star potion represented a three-star evolved. It was enough to become a core member of any survivor camp in the city.
Also, who was the son that he mentioned? Didn’t his son get eaten on the first day of the apocalypse?
The pair who hadn’t left pouted. They were doing well in Linhai City, and their fiction had some special method, which was why they could use the three-star potion to trade for the seeds.
But what were these lousy scrolls? They had seen it before but couldn’t use a single one. No one would even want them if he sold them for a two-star potion.
The apocalypse was like that. The value of something was not only based on other things like evolution potions; it depended on demand. If a thing was good, but people couldn’t use it, its value would drop. Similarly, an ordinary thing that a survivor badly needed would be expensive.
These scrolls seemed useful for Ye Zhongming but weren’t for the pair and the merchant. The price difference was understandable.
“Three-star potion?”
Ye Zhongming repeated.
It wasn’t because it was expensive; on the contrary… It was cheap.
To Ye Zhongming, such an intermediate scroll could trade for two four-star potions. They might even pay a five-star potion if he met someone who badly needed it.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming had the Super Elimination Technique, so the value of the first three level potions dropped.
This drop was only to Ye Zhongming. The value of such a potion would be maintained at around ten crystals. But for others? They might need a hundred.
This was the gap between both sides. Ye Zhongming reduced the cost of such potions to a tenth of others.
Which was why a three-star potion was around ten level three crystals. If he bumped into a wheel that needed fewer crystals, he might not even need that many.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt wasn't expensive for such a small number of crystals to trade for an intermediate-grade scroll. It was as cheap as vegetables.
Seeing Ye Zhongming hesitate, Old Jia was nervous. He knew that it was expensive and knew that no one wanted it. At least when he was here, he hadn’t heard of anyone who knew the Basic Human Puppet Technique.
If he asked for too much, he might scare this willing buyer off, which would be terrible.
Thinking about it, he wanted to lower the price.
If he felt a three-star potion was too expensive, then… Three two-star potions were okay.
“I want them all, two three-star potions.”
Ye Zhongming spoke up and pointed at the scrolls in the bag.
Ah? Old Jia was stunned, and then his eyes started to spin.
“If you think it is insufficient, I won’t buy anything.”
“Sure, sure, of course, it is enough.”
Ye Zhongming’s stance crushed Old Jia’s thoughts, and he shoved those scrolls to Ye Zhongming, who passed him two three-star potions.
The others saw Ye Zhongmming not only spend a sky-high price to buy one scroll but also used the same price to buy the other scrolls. Was this young man crazy?
Ye Zhongming was not crazy, but he wasn’t on the same level as the rest, and his thinking was different.
He didn’t see anything else that was good, so he wanted to leave. That pair had already left ahead of him.
But he took a few steps, and that cunning Old Jia stopped him. He said mysteriously, “Little Brother, you seem strong. I have a good thing. If you can pay the price, you can have it!”
