Chapter 117: Negotiation

Closing the Multiverse Farmland Store, Liu Yun drank 6 Basic Energy Recovery Potions, then opened the Spiritual Garden’s main interface.

[Farmer Energy: 92/100]

She glanced at her farmer energy displayed in the upper left corner of the screen, then pressed the soil preparation icon and changed the number to 15.

Ding!

[Do you wish to cultivate 15 plots of land in the Spiritual Garden, consuming 75 Farmer Energy?]

"Confirm!"

After preparing the soil, Liu Yun continued planting the seeds.

Ding!

[Successfully planted 15 Spiritual Peach Tree Seeds.]

Ding!

Seeing that she still had 17 Farmer Energy left, Liu Yun pressed the watering icon.

Ding!

[Do you wish to water 15 plots of Spiritual Peach Tree Seeds, consuming 15 Farmer Energy?]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

"Confirm," Liu Yun replied.

[Farming Experience +30]

When she saw the timer appear above the newly planted Spiritual Peach Tree Seeds, Liu Yun smiled in satisfaction. Since she only had 2 Farmer Energy left and one Basic Energy Recovery Potion, Liu Yun decided to leave the Multiverse Farmland for now.

After completing her morning farming activities, Liu Yun stood up, then put everything inside the tent into her Dimensional Space. When she was done, she got out of the tent.

Sitting nearby, Qiu Sixun saw her. "Good morning, Younger Sister Liu."

"Good morning, Elder Brother Qiu." Liu Yun looked around but couldn’t find the others, so she asked, "Where are the others?"

"Ru Jianxiao is still unconscious inside the tent," Qiu Sixun answered, then pointed in a direction and explained, "As for Brother Ye and the others, they are talking with Captain Lian right now."

Liu Yun looked in the direction he pointed and saw Ye Xuan and the others talking to Lian Tianci and Gu Lingjian. Feeling curious, she walked up to Qiu Sixun and sat beside him.

Accepting the bowl of instant porridge he handed her, Liu Yun lowered her voice and asked, "Elder Brother Qiu, do you know what they are talking about?"

Qiu Sixun leaned closer to her and whispered, "I heard that it has something to do with your lemon tea."

When Liu Yun heard this, she raised her brows slightly. ’Looks like the military has decided to buy my Refreshing Lemon Tea.’

Seeing her staring at Lian Tianci and the others, Qiu Sixun continued, "It seems that they haven’t found out about the other function of the crystal cores, which is why they are willing to use them to exchange for your lemon tea."

Liu Yun nodded in agreement. "I think so, too."

While the two of them were talking in hushed voices, Ye Xuan noticed that Liu Yun had woken up.

"Younger Sister Liu has woken up. Since Captain Lian and Captain Gu are interested in buying the lemon tea, how about you talk to Younger Sister Liu and negotiate with her directly?"

Following Ye Xuan’s line of sight, Lian Tianci and Gu Lingjian saw Liu Yun talking with Qiu Sixun.

"Alright," Lian Tianci agreed.

With that, the group walked back toward Qiu Sixun.

Seeing them approaching, Qiu Sixun said, "They are coming."

Liu Yun stopped talking, then looked at the group. Noticing Lian Tianci’s serious expression and Gu Lingjian’s surprised face, she fell into deep thought.

While Liu Yun was thinking, Qiu Sixun smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Ye, have you guys finished your discussion?"

Ye Xuan took a seat beside Liu Yun, then accepted the bowl of instant porridge from Qiu Sixun and replied, "Captain Lian and Captain Gu will discuss the details with Younger Sister Liu."

Hearing this, Liu Yun tilted her head slightly and looked at Lian Tianci and Gu Lingjian.

"What is it?" she asked curiously.

Sitting across from her, Lian Tianci and Gu Lingjian exchanged glances for a second.

"Miss Liu, we heard from our subordinates that you are selling lemon tea. Is that true?" Lian Tianci asked.

"Mhm." Liu Yun nodded, then asked, "Does Captain Lian want to buy some?"

When Lian Tianci heard this, his eyes flickered as he thought, ’As expected. She should have more than we thought.’

Smiling politely at her, Lian Tianci replied, "Yes. Can you tell me how much lemon tea you can sell to us?"

Liu Yun remembered that she had told Yuan Li that she had a limited amount of lemon tea. Since that was the case, she should keep her word.

After a moment of thought, Liu Yun said, "Captain Lian, I still have around 100 cups of lemon tea."

The second she said this, Lian Tianci’s and Gu Lingjian’s eyes lit up. However, before they could speak, Liu Yun interrupted them.

"I believe Captain Lian and Captain Gu know how scarce food is right now. After selling these 100 cups of lemon tea, I don’t know when I can get more."

Listening to what she said, Lian Tianci nodded in understanding. "I understand. As long as we can buy these 100 cups of lemon tea, we are already very satisfied."

"The price of a cup of lemon tea is three crystal cores. As long as Captain Lian has the crystal cores, I will sell them to you," Liu Yun added calmly.

While Lian Tianci was happy to be able to buy 100 cups of lemon tea, Gu Lingjian, sitting beside him, had a different thought.

Observing Liu Yun’s expression, he thought, ’She is the one who could take out the medicine that saved Mu Nan. I don’t believe that she couldn’t get something like lemon tea.’

Sensing Gu Lingjian’s sharp gaze, Liu Yun looked at him. Her heart skipped a beat when their gazes met.

’Heaven, why is he staring at me like that? I remember that I saved his friend before. I shouldn’t have offended him, right?’

While Liu Yun was baffled by Gu Lingjian’s behavior, Lian Tianci said, "No problem. We will go out and collect the crystal cores today. If Miss Liu and your team are interested, you guys are welcome to join us."

Hearing this, Liu Yun gestured toward Ye Xuan and said, "Our team leader is Elder Brother Ye. I will follow his decision."

When Ye Xuan heard this, the corner of his lips curved up slightly as he looked at Liu Yun.

Sitting beside Gu Zhenwei, Lan Zuancheng raised his brows slightly when he saw the way Ye Xuan looked at Liu Yun. As he swallowed his porridge, he thoughtfully looked at the two of them.

Looking away from Liu Yun, Ye Xuan looked at Lian Tianci and asked, "Has Captain Lian decided where to go?"

Lian Tianci nodded. "Yes. There is a delivery post station 100 km away from here. Before the descent of the Blood Moon, that place was the central hub of delivery routes in this province. Based on our information, there are more than 50,000 zombies there."

Liu Yun gasped in surprise when she heard the number of zombies.

Hearing her gasp, Lian Tianci smiled slightly and continued, "Don’t worry, Miss Liu. We already made our plan last night and mapped out a route. As long as we follow the plan, nothing will happen."

The second he said this, Liu Yun suddenly had a bad premonition. She swallowed hard, then thought, ’Please, don’t raise the flag! I have a bad feeling about this trip!’
