Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 290 Lao Hei
Malu picked up his phone and prepared to call Yanwu to ask about the prices of the remaining materials, but he didn't expect that the hardware store owner had already contacted him first.

"Hey, kid, I've already negotiated the price with them for what you want. It's 4. I can't lower it any further. And you have to pay a 1% deposit first. As soon as the money arrives, they will arrange for the shipment immediately. You don't have to worry about their credit. They've been my business partners for many years."

"........."

Hearing no one on the other end of the line, the werewolf boss immediately guessed what had happened, "Why, not enough money?"

"I just want to open an extra equipment slot. Do I need so many star coins?" Malu said innocently.

"How much did you plan to spend?"

"Just... 10,000." Malu said, "All the star coins I have on me only add up to just over 10,000. I don't have any more."

Yan Wu was a little unhappy, "Do you think high-dimensional creations are cheap? You want to buy them for 10,000 yuan. Have you ever seen high-dimensional creations below 10,000 yuan in my store?"

"Then...are there any second-hand ones?"

“I sell second-hand items.”

"It doesn't matter if the quality is a little bit worse," Malu said, "As long as it can be controlled within 10,000, it doesn't matter how bad the quality is."

No. 6 is able to repair damaged high-dimensional creations, so in theory, the older the high-dimensional creations, the more cost-effective it is for Millipede to buy.

Yan Wu could only sigh upon hearing this, "I'll help you find out more, but you'd better not have too high expectations."

"Thank you for your hard work, Boss Yan." Seeing that the hardware store owner seemed to be about to hang up the phone, Malu hurriedly said, "Wait, I want to buy some more No. 173 Chlorella and free gray energy body."

Yan Wu was amused by him, "You don't have much money, but you want a lot of things."

He didn't ask what Malu wanted these for, and said directly, "I still have some free gray energy bodies in stock. One pound is 500 star coins. If you want it, take it. No bargaining. As for No. 173 Chlorella... One pound is about 6000. Of course, if you need a large quantity, it should be cheaper."

Millipede was stunned again. The price of 500 yuan per kilogram of free gray energy body was acceptable, because one kilogram was basically enough for him to use for more than half a year, but No. 173 Chlorella was a bit outrageously expensive.

Could it be that the pointed hat exaggerated again in the proposal report?

"Why, you think it's expensive again?" Yan Wu seemed to guess what he was thinking and snorted coldly, "Of course it's expensive. No. 173 Chlorella itself is not a rare thing. The price outside is not much more expensive than the free gray energy body, but you don't think about where we are."

"Where are we? Aren't we in City B? Wait..." Malu thought of the free shipping area, "You mean to say that this thing is mainly expensive because of the shipping fee?"

"That's right. This place is outside the Grand Alliance and is a blocked plane. There are no shipping routes, so anything you want can only be shipped here by smuggling ships. How can the shipping cost be cheap?"

Yan Wu said, "Let me be frank. No matter how much the item you want is worth, even if it's junk, it won't be cheap after you add the shipping cost. So from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, if you really want to buy some high-dimensional item, you might as well choose one with better quality."

"Then why are you selling me the broken desktop farm?"

"You know nothing. There are only a few of these things. Even if they are broken, there are still a lot of people vying for them. And as long as you can find a craftsman, it can still be repaired. It's just that we don't have a craftsman here. Otherwise, why would I only sell it to you for 14 star coins?"

"Oh." Millipede had already made up his mind that the werewolf must not be informed of the existence of No. 6, otherwise he would have no place to fleece the wool in the future.

He also estimated that the origin of the desktop farm in his hand might be a bit questionable, otherwise, as the hardware store owner boasted, this thing should be able to be sold at a higher price outside.

Could it be that this werewolf is not only a profiteer of second-hand goods, but also works part-time as a dealer of stolen goods for some criminal gang?

However, Malu was just thinking about it casually. No matter what Yanwu's true identity was, as long as there was still wool to be fleeced from him, Malu would do it unswervingly.

Anyway, the laws of the Major League have no effect on Earth.

Moreover, Yanwu's words also inspired Malu, and he then asked the hardware store owner, "Those smuggling ships you mentioned, how often do they come here?"

"About three to five months, but I'm not sure. They will come when they have enough cargo for a shipload. Otherwise, they won't move if it's not cost-effective to make a trip. And my cargo is not the only one on their ship, or it's only a small part. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"I was thinking that since they came here with a full load of goods, they would definitely not go back empty-handed."

"Of course. In order to ensure profits, they will also bring some other goods when they return. However, this plane itself does not have any special products. They basically receive goods from visitors from other planes."

“Are they interested in the ingredients?”

Malu had been thinking about how to deal with the excess ingredients. The simplest way is of course to increase the restaurant's daily sales, but no matter how efficient Lao Wang is in cooking, there is a limit.

Moreover, the restaurant is so small that Malu has even used the curb next door. Several waiters in the restaurant and himself are busy from morning to night every day.

If he really wanted to increase sales, he would have to pay Zhen Ye a penalty for breach of contract, spend time looking for a new location, and hire more people. And after all this, he would only earn ordinary RMB.

Malu didn't feel that he had earned enough money now. Even though he had more than two million in cash in his account, he still felt that he was short of money.

However, compared to money, his gap in star coins is obviously bigger. If he can exchange the extra ingredients for star coins, he can add new income to the restaurant without being too tiring.

"Ingredients? Oh, you mean the ingredients you collected from other dimensions. Are there any that you can't use up?" Yanwu was a little surprised.

He didn't know yet that the millipede had been repaired and upgraded in the desktop farm, and thought it was just brought back from somewhere else.

"If it's a high-star ingredient, then of course they'll be interested, but do you have enough of it? If there's only a little, they probably won't think highly of it. How about this, I'll give you someone's contact information, and you can talk to him first."

Malu then received a string of phone numbers from Yanwu.

I took a look at the territory and found it was China Unicom. I was surprised, "Is China Unicom's business so wide?"

"What are you thinking about? Lao Hei is in charge of receiving the goods and lives in this plane most of the time. It's not normal for him to have a mobile phone number." Yan Wu said.
