Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

Inside the hall, piercing, maniacal laughter echoed continuously.

A burly businessman with a face full of scars clutched his stomach, pointed at the dusty burlap sack on the stage, and laughed until tears streamed down his face: "You dare ask for crystals and cutting-edge equipment with just a sack for junk? You're crazy for money!"

"Exactly! At least the Japanese bring fresh fruit. Do you really think anyone would want the shoddy stuff you refugees make?"

"Hurry up and drag these two away! Don't make our carpet dirty and waste time!" Another woman with a face covered in makeup covered her nose with a handkerchief, looking disgusted.

Lu Fan did not refute, and his expression did not even change.

He reached out and grabbed the bottom of the sack, then pulled it upwards with force.

Whoosh!

A series of dull, rapid impacts rang out.

Dozens of fist-sized potatoes with a dark golden sheen rolled out of the burlap sack and piled up on a display stand covered with red velvet.

The earthy smell, mixed with the raw, starchy aroma of plants, instantly filled the entire hall.

The laughter of the crowd, who had been mocking them just a moment ago, suddenly stopped, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment.

So many potatoes!?

Where the hell did he come from?!

Moreover, its appearance, color, and taste completely surpass the ten that the Song family sold before!

At this moment, Lei Hu, seated in the Lei family's seat, was trembling with shock, his pupils dilating.

He had initially thought Lu Fan was just joking and trying to comfort him!

They actually went all in!

Not only Lei Hu, but even Ning Chuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, wishing he could just dive right into that pile of potatoes.

This sack of potatoes must weigh at least fifty pounds!

Moreover, it was very fresh and looked excellent, making one want to rush over and take a bite!

"Brother! What did I say? I told you to look down on others!" Ning Ning scolded her brother from the side.

Ning Chuan rubbed the back of his head and couldn't help but sigh, "Sis! I spoke too harshly before. Look at you, you're not getting any younger, it's time to find someone and get married!"

He suddenly raised a finger: "Hey! I think Lu Fan is pretty good!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Ning immediately put her hands on her hips and turned her head away. "Dream on! Why don't you go and date Lu Fan instead!?"

Ning Chuan was speechless after being rebuked and could only stare sullenly at the pile of potatoes.

He was determined to win this time!

Soon, the discussion in the hall grew louder and louder.

They were all discussing how to acquire these potatoes.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Fan tapped the table with his index finger.

"Don't rush, everyone! Besides potatoes, there's something else I'll show you!"

Everyone was taken aback.

What?

Could there be another expert?!

"Xiaomin, open the box!" Lu Fan turned his head and ordered.

Zhang Xiaomin took a deep breath and stepped forward to unlock the brass clasps on several mahogany gift boxes.

Click.

The lid is lifted.

A rich, almost cloying fruity scent burst forth in the air, instantly overpowering the various perfumes in the hall.

Even the aroma of potatoes paled in comparison.

Dozens of strawberries, each the size of a baby's fist, lay quietly on the velvet lining of the wooden box.

The flesh is a vibrant, juicy crimson, and the tiny seeds on the skin are so plump they seem about to burst. A few drops of fresh water slide down the leaf sheath.

Quiet.

The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

next second.

Clang!

An S-class representative from another faction suddenly stood up.

Because of the large movement, he knocked over the heavy oak chair behind him.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the mahogany box on the table, his breathing heavy: "Strawberries?! Fresh strawberries?!"

The surrounding dignitaries also went crazy, disregarding their manners and pushing forward, craning their necks to see the sweet-smelling fruit.

They suddenly recalled the so-called "high-tech marvels" that the Yamato had previously displayed.

A few small, shriveled watermelons with yellow spots, placed next to these golden potatoes and plump strawberries, looked like a few green rat droppings.

What a complete scoundrel!

Sato Ichiban's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist tightly, his wooden clogs creaking and scraping on the floor.

The female translator beside him stammered, her face covered in cold sweat: "This...this is impossible...how could the Dragon Kingdom possibly have more advanced gene cultivation technology than the Great Sakura Empire...how is this possible!?"

Lu Fan glanced at the group of contorted-faced cherry blossom dogs, a smirk playing on his lips. He picked up the microphone and started typing "GG!"

"Fifty pounds of high-yield mutant potatoes! And thirty fresh mutant strawberries! No radiation or side effects, all-natural, no additives!"

"No pesticides, no hormones, contains all the vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, G..."

"Have a meal to refresh and invigorate!"

"Eat two meals a day, and you'll never get tired!"

"Eat three meals a day, and you'll live forever!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers from the audience grew even louder.

His gaze swept over the greedy faces, a smile playing on his lips: "Now, begin bidding!"

"I'll pay!"

Ning Chuan pushed aside the person in front of him, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Two mid-grade Sea Crystals! Plus two boxes of Dayu-made armor-piercing incendiary bombs! I'll take them all!"

"Wait!" Old Master Lei and Lei Hu couldn't sit still any longer. Leading their entourage, they exuded an air of dominance: "My Lei family offers fifty barrels of refined black oil mud! Plus two sets of top-grade deep-sea diving suits and five low-grade sea crystals, I'll take them all!"

Song Han sat in the chair, her fingers gripping the armrest tightly, her heart filled with hesitation.

He had examined these potatoes before and found that they contained some kind of peculiar element.

It was thanks to this extracted element that he was able to develop the latest gamma-type enhancer a few days ago.

If there were more of this crop, he could definitely take the development of the next type of fortifier to a revolutionary level!

So, Song Han exchanged a glance with Song Weilong, who was standing next to her.

Song Weilong cleared his throat and loudly announced the price: "One hundred bottles of beta-type enhancer, plus one bottle of the new gamma enhancer!"

Senseless!

All the privileged residents and minor powers who wanted to make a bid were dumbfounded.

The fierce competition among several major families.

That's like gods fighting; there's really no need for them to join in!

Just as all parties were escalating their efforts with fervor in their eyes.

Sato Ichiban walked out in wooden clogs and stopped in front of the stage.

He spoke in broken Chinese, with a tone of condescension: "Mr. Lu, the Great Cherry Blossom Empire is very interested in your crops."

He pushed the hilt with his thumb.

Zheng.

A piece of pitch-black blade slid out half an inch, releasing a pungent, rusty smell and a purple glow.

"I'll trade this replica of the Imperial Treasure, the Muramasa Demon Sword, and my genetic engineering technology for everything you have..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Fan interrupted him directly.

He didn't even glance at Sato, but pointed his index finger at Sato's nose and said, "You dog and cherry blossom scum have no right to buy my stuff."

Sato Ichiban's eye twitched violently, and his thumb gripped the hilt of his sword tightly: "How dare you insult an Imperial samurai?!"

Lu Fan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You Sakura girls are nothing! Get out of my way and don't bother me while I'm doing business!"

He ignored Sato's murderous gaze and pointed directly at Ning Chuan, Lei Hu, and Song Weilong.

"The mid-tier sea crystals and armor-piercing bullets from the Dayu Ship, the Lei family's mud-based equipment and low-tier sea crystals, and the Song family's enhancement agents! I want them all!"

"As for these items, you three can split them equally! Buy them if you want, or split them equally with the other two families!"

Holy crap!?

This guy is a real swindler!

Not only did they accept all three offers, they even used tricks to force the three to buy.

If you don't buy it, the discount will go to someone else, and you won't get anything.

Seeing that Lu Fan didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Deal!" Ning Chuan gritted his teeth and slammed two iridescent sea crystals with icy patterns onto the table, then ordered someone to fetch the ammunition box.

Lei Wantian immediately waved, signaling Lei Hu to handle the handover of supplies.

Song Weilong personally carried several large boxes of enhancement agents and handed them to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan smiled and stuffed everything into the sack, telling Zhang Xiaomin to quickly drag it to the lounge.

After doing all this

The data on Lu Fan's True Vision Eye jumped slightly.

Time: 2:57 PM.

There are about three minutes left.

He secretly glanced at Sato and his group in the distance.

Sato Ichiban, his face grim, whispered a few words quickly in the interpreter's ear in Sakura language.

"That damn Chinese bastard! He's moved the plan forward!"

Having said that, he glanced at the dozen or so warriors behind him and signaled with a coded message: "Slaughter everyone here, leave no one alive! Especially that guy on the platform!"
