The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 17 Deal
"Three for just one blueprint."

"If I can't learn or get all the materials, won't it all be wasted?"

Huo Ying hesitated a little and retreated back to Hou Ping.

Wang Kai said nothing, as if it didn't matter if you didn't buy it.

But Wang Tianhua was reluctant and did not put the drawings back into his arms. Instead, he looked up at his father.

Liang Yao jumped over and said, "Why is a blueprint so expensive? Who do you think you are? You can't expect others to learn by just writing a few words on the blueprint. If it's fair, they should ask you questions or ask you to do it for a little more money, instead of selling the blueprint so expensively!"

Liang Yao moved closer to Huo Ying. She didn't want Huo Ying to spend all his resources. It was hard to find someone willing to do business with her, and she didn't want to give up. If Huo Ying had no money, she might not have the courage to ask the next person.

Wang Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief. He was not worried that no one would come forward to bargain, but he was afraid that the business would be ruined by his father's fixed price.

Poplar wood is a precious treasure. Without poplar wood and the fire that contains the power of Yang, at night, the sharp-toothed flying insects will gnaw it into a skeleton. The more poplar wood you can collect, the better, especially when the zombies are about to riot.

"As long as you have some hands-on skills and follow the instructions in my father's booklet, you will definitely be able to make it. The subsequent charges are optional. This is not just a book, it is a technology. If the materials were not difficult to obtain, do you think anyone would sell this technology?"

Wang Tianhua started to explain and deliberately moved the drawings closer to Huo Ying, fearing that Huo Ying would lose his curiosity about the drawings.

Wang Kai's face suddenly turned dark. Wang Tianhua was too impatient and accidentally revealed the fact that the materials were difficult to obtain. Just now, Wang Kai only said that he needed to find a courier to exchange them, and deliberately concealed the result that the courier might not be able to exchange them.

Fearing that Huo Ying would discover the trick, Wang Kai snatched the blueprint and said angrily, "At least two pieces of wood, and one of them must be of good quality, otherwise I won't sell it. After all, this is my hard work, and it's a weapon. What if you want to make it in the future and use it against me!"

Huo Ying was happy. He didn't care how many pieces of wood were needed. What he cared about was whether he would be noticed by others if he spent too much on wood. Seeing Wang Kai pretending to be angry, Huo Ying gave him a way out.

"Okay, I'll try to make it. It only takes two pieces of wood." Huo Ying sighed.

Wang Tianhua smiled happily, and Wang Kai also smiled. The two took the wood and then gave the drawings to Huo Ying.

"In fact, you have picked up a great bargain. If you make a fish crossbow, you can easily kill common infected creatures even if they are not infected."

Seeing Huo Ying make the deal, Liang Yao leaned towards him again and said, "I can save you a piece of firewood. You can't go back on your word. You are a man and you can't bargain. Why don't you take me with you? I can help you a lot. I only need to eat a little bit every day."

Huo Ying did not answer, but just flipped through the drawings.

After just flipping through two pages, Huo Ying knew he had made the right purchase.

This fish crossbow blueprint includes more than one type of crossbow.

The records include slingshots, fishing crossbows, spear guns and rapid-fire spear guns.

The characteristic of a slingshot crossbow is that it is small, as small as the size of a palm.

The spear gun is what Huo Ying imagined a crossbow to be, and it also has a handle, trigger, sights, and ballistics.

The reason why it is called a gun is because it is designed with a six-string force mode, which can achieve an effective killing distance of 20 meters underwater and even 50 meters on the ground.

Even winding the gun requires pedaling, which shows how terrifying the force is when it is fired.

However, the difficulty lies in the trigger and the barrel, but as long as you know the principle and shape, this most difficult part is actually the easiest for Huo Ying.

As for the rapid-fire spear gun, Huo Ying was delighted.

He had always wanted to make a rapid-fire crossbow, but had no idea where to start.

The principle of the automatic spear gun is clearly shown. It has three chambers and a switching wrench. As long as these two are made, three arrows can be stored at a time. The disadvantage is that every time you shoot an arrow, you need to pull the wrench to switch the chamber, but compared to reloading the arrow every time you shoot an arrow, it is more than dozens of times more convenient.

These three have their own advantages. The spear gun has the strongest lethality, the slingshot crossbow is the most portable, and the continuous-fire spear gun is the most convenient. On the playground, not many people paid attention to Huo Ying's transaction. Those who had some common sense thought that Huo Ying was cheated by Wang Kai and his son. The spear crossbow is equivalent to a simple firearm and is a banned item. The Tongzhou Association in XN City will not sell it to the outside world. Huo Ying's resources must have been wasted.

But the mother and daughter kept staring at the wood in Wang Kai's hand.

The mother looked at it for a long time, then looked at her daughter in confusion. The daughter did not hesitate but nodded firmly.

After receiving the response, the mother walked up to Huo Ying and introduced herself: "My name is Elsa Lehman, and this is my daughter, Luna Lehman. We have something we want to exchange with you."

After saying that, Elsa glanced at Liang Yao.

"Huo Ying, don't be fooled. He is so mysterious and dare not take out things. It's obvious that he is trying to deceive people." Liang Yao was afraid that Huo Ying would spend all the supplies, so she reminded him hurriedly, and finally walked away reluctantly, leaving Huo Ying and Elsa to talk.

There are even foreigners.

Huo Ying was a little surprised. Elsa looked around to make sure that no one else could see her. Then she took out something from her arms and put it into Huo Ying's hand.

Huo Ying opened his palm, and inside was a seed, which had already sprouted.

"My daughter studies botany. This is a new variety of carrot seed. It is extremely drought-resistant and has a fast growth cycle. Do you want it?"

seed!

Huo Ying had been watching everyone's exchanges. Some people exchanged clothes, some exchanged tools, but few people exchanged food, let alone improved seeds.

But the next second, Huo Ying pushed the seed back.

"unnecessary."

Huo Ying saw Elsa's eyes. Those were not the eyes of a businessman, and there was no trace of mercenary behavior. Instead, her eyes were full of hope. And Elsa did not offer a price. She did not seem to care what the seeds could be exchanged for. What she cared about was whether she could exchange the seeds or not.

Huo Ying had thought it through long ago. In the doomsday, there were dangers everywhere. The only purpose of his exchange this time was to get the fish crossbow. As for the rest of the things, he would follow suit and exchange whatever everyone else exchanged. Only in this way would he not accidentally expose anything and be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

Since no one present exchanged food and seeds, he would not do so either.

The hope in Elsa's eyes faded, and she silently took back the seeds and returned to her daughter.

When Liang Yao saw that Elsa's business was failing, she immediately moved closer to Huo Ying, fearing that Huo Ying would be snatched away by someone else.

Elsa glanced at Liang Yao with disdain and whispered to her daughter, "He refused."

Luna had no expression, she kept looking at Huo Ying until the deal failed.

“But he hesitated.”

Luna's voice was soft, but excited.

"Although the wood textures are different, the grain and material are the same. It was taken from a poplar tree."

"It's the same one that Hou Ping exchanged with the courier the day before yesterday."

"It's the same one that Hou Ping brought to us yesterday."

"Every one of them is new!"
