Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 133 Zhang Bo's Perseverance and Determination (Third Update)
"So, at what price are you planning to trade the live fish?"

"One pound of coarse salt is worth ten pounds of fish."

Zhang Bo blurted out, "Are you kidding me?"

Qin Ziwen was surprised. “My price is very cheap, Mr. Zhang. Although there are two salt wells in the neighborhood, mine is the best quality. As the best quality, I only exchange ten catties of fish for one catty of salt. I think I’m being very conscientious.”

Zhang Bo felt that these words sounded familiar.

But Qin Ziwen's price is absolutely impossible!

“This price is absolutely impossible! If you have any sincerity, then state a sincere price. If you don’t, then let’s part ways.” Zhang Bo’s face was gloomy.

"Is this price not sincere?" Qin Ziwen retorted.

"Of course it's not sincere!"

"Clap!" Qin Ziwen clapped his hands. "But Mr. Zhang, this is the price you gave me back then. How come when I give you the same price, you say I'm not sincere?"

Zhang Bo's face turned pale and then red.

He felt some regret, perhaps he shouldn't have asked for such an exorbitant price, thus needlessly offending a powerful figure.

Finally, he lowered his head dejectedly, "Please, Mr. Qin, be magnanimous and give me a sincere price."

Qin Ziwen asked, "Five catties of fish and one catty of coarse salt?"

Zhang Bo was in a dilemma. He simply couldn't buy it at that price. If he agreed, he would have to pay too much out of his own pocket. Losing so much money was worse than letting Qin Ziwen join the Tongmenghui. At worst, he could take the low-end route.

"Three catties of fish, one catty of coarse salt."

Upon hearing the price, Zhang Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the price was reasonable. However, he didn't show it on his face and still looked troubled.

Qin Ziwen said, "This is the bottom line."

Zhang Bo gritted his teeth, about to nod, when Qin Ziwen added, "But I want live fish."

Zhang Bo coughed repeatedly. "No! You're treating me like a wishing lamp."

After experiencing so many ups and downs, Zhang Bo was exhausted.

He remained silent for a long time before asking Qin Ziwen, "How much do you want to charge?"

"Three hundred catties of live fish."

Zhang Bo: "One hundred catties of coarse salt, plus five catties of refined salt!"

After pausing for a while, Qin Ziwen nodded, "Okay."

After the transaction was completed, the two stood there, looking at each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Zhang Bo said, "I also have a request."

"You said."

Zhang Bo stared at him: "This deal is known only to the two of us. I will claim to the outside world that I bought the fish, and you cannot join the Alliance."

"it is good."

Watching Qin Ziwen's retreating figure, Zhang Bo made up his mind that his product couldn't compete with Qin's right now, so he should hold back for the time being.

Even Goujian endured hardship and humiliation; I, Zhang Bo, will let him have his way today.

Once I upgrade the salt well to level 2, I will never have to suffer this humiliation again!

After walking a distance, Du Yu reminded him, "My lord, I can tell that Zhang Bo is still resentful, but he is only bowing his head temporarily due to the situation."

"I can tell. He probably thinks that my salt wells are of a higher grade than his, so the salt produced is of better quality."

Qin Ziwen understood that the superior quality of his salt wells wasn't due to their grade, but rather the presence of rare and precious materials. Even if Zhang Bo upgraded his salt wells to level 2, their quality still wouldn't match his.

Back home, Qin Ziwen found Deng Guang, Li Yue, Wang Jun, and others. After discussing it, they decided to go up the mountain together first, while searching for prey tracks along the way. They wanted to acquire cards and hunt as many prey as possible.

More than an hour later, the group arrived at the place where they had ambushed the giant toad the day before. The surrounding area was in a mess, and there were still some burn marks on the ground.

It's quite amazing that gasoline has a strong combustion power, but it's difficult for it to spread in this forest, as if some invisible force is restricting the spread of the flames.

At the bottom of the valley, the giant toad's corpse had long since stiffened, and a gust of wind blew, filling the air with a foul stench.

Suddenly, the small orb of light in the home automatically floated and appeared.

[The number of households in the Awakened Home community has reached 20% of the total number of survivor households. The countdown to time travel has begun: 71:59:59]

Every second that passes, the countdown decreases by one second.

Not only Qin Ziwen, but also Deng Guang, Wang Jun and others stopped in their tracks.

"I'll be crossing over in three days," Deng Guang muttered to himself.

"What?" Qin Ziwu overheard the conversations of others and learned that more than one-fifth of the residents in the community had already awakened to the new home, and the three-day countdown to the crossing had begun.

Qin Ziwen said, "Xiao Wu, after you get back today, go upstairs and use the cards in the empty room to see if you can activate your home."

Qin Ziwu turned his head, "Brother"

Qin Ziwen frowned, his tone becoming more forceful, "You're not listening to me?"

Qin Ziwu quickly replied, "I will listen to everything."

After pondering for a moment and glancing at his younger brother, Qin Ziwen said, "I just feel that since the requirement for our second time travel is that the number of people who have awakened their home reaches a certain percentage, it means that the home is very important. At least in the eyes of this ghost that sent us through time, the importance of the home is not low."

After a pause, Qin Ziwen added, "I'm just letting you first obtain the identity of a homestead owner."

Qin Ziwu now understood his elder brother's thoughts.

Nearby, the others who had heard Qin Ziwen's words were already aware of the dangers of their homeland.

Li Yue and Yuan Ming lowered their heads, seemingly lost in thought.

We arrived at the cave halfway up the mountain.

A white card floats on the altar inside.

Soon, everyone got their hands on it.

[Expansion Card] Blank Expansion Card (Micro)

Because the small blank expansion card is rated at 8 contribution points, this mini blank expansion card is only worth 2 points if calculated based on its area.

But obviously, this conversion is not the correct method.

Even a mini expansion card can double the size of your home.

After discussion, it was finally decided that the price of the micro blank expansion card would be set at 4 contribution points.

Yuan Ming and Li Yue both wanted it, and they were conflicted, unwilling to let the card ruin their relationship.

But whether considering its value or cost-effectiveness, this 4-contribution card is indeed the most suitable card they can exchange for at this stage.

Ultimately, after a private discussion between Yuan Ming and Li Yue, Yuan Ming redeemed the miniature blank expansion card.

The price he paid was to give the remaining contribution points to Li Yue.

"You young people are really something," Deng Guang said, speechless. To compete for a spot in the exchange, they directly gave up a contribution point. Was that really worth it?

The reason they were able to gain so many contribution points this time was mainly because the cards dropped by the Giant Toad were of high value, so everyone got a large share.

Yuan Ming said shyly, "The main problem is that my family doesn't know about our situation, and there are some things I haven't told them. If I take this card back, they probably won't say anything."

Wang Jun did not comment on this, after all, these were other people's contribution points, and how they used them was their own business, as long as there was no forced transaction. "You can decide for yourselves."
