"I can accept this price for now, but I cannot directly provide the processed flesh and blood of the giant mutated marine creature."

I'll provide you with two complete giant mutated marine carcasses, and all the flesh and internal special organs will be yours to keep.

If the amount of flesh and blood of the giant mutated marine creatures that are subsequently decomposed exceeds 2,300 tons, then you will earn more.

But even if you don't reach that weight, as long as you can obtain a special organ after decomposition, you won't actually lose out.

Although the amount of flesh and blood obtained after the decomposition of different kinds of giant mutated marine creatures varies.

However, given the sheer size of those giant mutated marine creatures, even with a low meat yield, the decomposition of a single giant mutated marine creature can yield at least 800 tons of edible flesh and blood.

Most importantly, the research institute will spend money to recover the special organs inside the giant mutated marine creatures, even if they cannot be eaten directly.

Therefore, according to the trading method proposed by Dong Qi, theoretically he would not only not lose money in this transaction, but if he were lucky, he would even make a small profit.

If they're lucky, and the awakened one can even directly consume the two special organs obtained after the two giant mutated marine creatures decompose, then a small profit will turn into a huge profit.

As for dissecting the complete corpse of the giant mutated marine creature, it would take some time and money. Since he didn't need to do it himself, it was just a matter of waiting time for him.

After considering the matter in his mind, Qin Hanxiao was about to agree when he heard Dong Qi continue, "The equipment we are trading requires you to find people to install portable replacement modules on the vehicles, and after installation, they will also need to be tested."

Qin Hanxiao didn't pay much attention to Dong Qi's subsequent request. After all, in modern society, most military equipment products are basically modular products produced on assembly lines for logistical convenience.

Even in common tanks, all parts have become modular products that can be easily replaced.

Therefore, Dong Qi's requirement for easy disassembly and replacement can simply be addressed by adding a convenient replacement fixing slot during installation, which will not increase the cost or installation difficulty much.

Although he knew that Dong Qi's request was most likely due to the information he had just revealed, if he hadn't spoken up, Dong Qi might not have added this extra request.

However, the fact that Dong Qi was able to make such a decisive and efficient deal without haggling over every little detail reveals a lot about his character.

So although Dong Qi's subsequent requests were somewhat troublesome, they wouldn't cause Qin Hanxiao much loss. Therefore, he agreed directly, which was also a way of currying favor with Dong Qi. If there were any large-scale transactions like this in the future, Dong Qi would probably think of him first.

"Now that you've agreed to my offer, let's discuss the detailed transaction process."

Upon hearing Qin Hanxiao's words, Dong Qi suddenly remembered that he seemed to only have the complete corpse of a giant mutated marine creature in his farm space warehouse, which seemed insufficient to cover the transaction fee.

Fortunately, Dong Qi changed his mind and said directly, "Then tell me the specific transaction steps first."

"Since you have no objection to my price, all those military supplies boxes are in the warehouse, and you can load them up and take them away in a moment."

As for those that require equipment installation, I can gather all the equipment within three days at the latest, and within a week at the latest, I can coordinate with the professionals responsible for installation.

Don't worry about the installation. I'll find an awakened user with mechanical abilities to handle it. Installation and testing should take at most a day.

After explaining his arrangements, Qin Hanxiao paused for a moment. Seeing that Dong Qi had no objections, he continued, "As for the specific transaction process, because those devices are quite valuable, we need you to provide some deposit first."

Of course, to show our sincerity, if you pay a large deposit, you can take all the military supplies boxes that have already been delivered to the warehouse.

Dong Qi didn't have much objection to the transaction method proposed by Qin Hanxiao, and simply said, "I can provide you with a giant mutated marine creature today. Have you arranged a receiving location yet?"

I thought the transaction would take a few days, but I didn't expect Dong Qi to have already prepared the giant mutated marine creature carcass.

After thinking for a while, Qin Hanxiao said, "I have a warehouse on the outer ring road. You can send the giant mutated marine creature's carcass there this afternoon."

I also managed to mobilize vehicles to transfer all the military supply boxes from this warehouse over.

That way, you won't need to send another car to make a separate trip here during the afternoon trading session.

As for the subsequent equipment installation, I will have someone confirm the specific time at noon, and I will tell you the specific time of the next transaction when we meet in the afternoon.

But I also want to make this clear in advance: during the second transaction, after the installation and debugging are completed, you must immediately deliver the remaining giant mutated marine creature to me.

Dong Qi didn't care about Qin Hanxiao's request. With his current combat power, it would only take him a few hours at most to hunt down a giant mutated marine creature.

In this hunting operation, the most time-consuming part was not the hunting process itself, but rather the travel time and the search for suitable targets.

After confirming that Dong Qi agreed to the transaction, Qin Hanxiao informed the other party of the location of his outer ring warehouse.

After learning the location of Qin Hanxiao's outer ring warehouse, Dong Qi got up and was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something and sat back down on the sofa.

When Qin Hanxiao saw Dong Qi's unusual behavior, he thought that Dong Qi wanted to back out of the deal, but when he heard Dong Qi speak, his tense expression immediately relaxed.

"I'd like to buy some household goods here, but I don't have any vouchers that can be used here. How many vouchers do you have? Could you sell me some?"

Hearing that they only wanted to exchange some vouchers and didn't want to back out of the deal, he realized they were just asking for more.

Qin Hanxiao generously took out a thick stack of vouchers from the counter and said magnanimously, "This is all the store has. These vouchers are yours for the taking. If it's not enough, give me two days to raise some more, and I'll give you some more during the next transaction."

Although Qin Hanxiao was prepared to give Dong Qi some vouchers, for Dong Qi, free things are the most valuable.

After all, one is bound to be obligated to accept gifts and favors. Now that he has received some vouchers from the other party for free, even though the subsequent transaction plan has been finalized, if some unexpected events occur during the transaction and Dong Qi has to make concessions, the price he has to pay will not be just a small amount.

If Dong Qi is part of an organization, and is representing his own organization in the transaction with Qin Hanxiao, then if he accepts some gifts and suffers losses in the subsequent transaction, it will be the organization behind him that pays the price.

Now that he is all alone, if problems arise later, he will have to bear all the expenses himself.

Having figured this out, Dong Qi didn't immediately accept the voucher from the other party. Instead, after thinking for a moment about what other items he could offer in exchange, he spoke again:

"I can't accept something for nothing. Our first transaction isn't finished yet, so it's not appropriate for me to just take your things for free."

Don't let me make you feel like I came here not because I genuinely wanted to do a deal with you.

Instead, they are scammers trying to use large transactions as an excuse to swindle money from you.

"That way I won't take advantage of you. There are some imported goods from Japan in the car. Can you give me an appraisal? I'll exchange those goods for some vouchers."

The reason Qin Hanxiao acted so generously just now was actually to test Dong Qi.

After all, under normal circumstances, even if Dong Qi wanted some vouchers, he could have simply brought it up when the two were discussing the specific details of the transaction and included it in the deal. He figured he would have given Dong Qi some vouchers in return.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the vouchers are just a special currency issued by this military supplies market; they have no value outside of this market.

But Qin Hanxiao was certain that at this moment, the variety of goods sold in this military supplies market would definitely rank among the top ten in all markets in Kyoto.

That's why Qin Hanxiao had some strange thoughts when he saw Dong Qi's unusual behavior, and then pretended to be generous to test Dong Qi.

However, when Qin Hanxiao heard Dong Qi directly refuse the voucher he was offering for free and instead prepare to exchange it for supplies, he realized that he had been overthinking things and that the other party was probably not a fraudster.

So when checking the supplies provided by Dong Qi, Qin Hanxiao, in order to be on good terms with him, not only did he not intend to lower the price, but if the supplies provided by Dong Qi had little acquisition value, even if it meant losing money, Qin Hanxiao was prepared to exchange them for some vouchers for Dong Qi.

However, when Qin Hanxiao followed Dong Qi to his natal car, he was momentarily stunned when he saw the items that suddenly appeared next to it.

Then it dawned on me that Dong Qi's car must have some kind of storage device.

Judging from the items Qin Hanxiao provided in the transaction, he must have a strong network of connections within the Kyoto Research Institute. Therefore, even without direct contact, he should have a detailed understanding of those who have awakened spatial abilities.

After all, anyone who reads novels often should be very familiar with the saying that time is supreme, space is king, fate is unpredictable, cause and effect are emperor, and power is supreme.

Therefore, anyone who has heard of an awakened individual who has awakened one of these categories of superpowers is eager to learn more about their specific abilities.

Even if they understand the specific effects of the awakened beings' abilities, it won't change the fact that they are still ordinary people.

But everyone has a gossipy side, and once they know this information, they can't help but want to learn more about it.

Furthermore, it is unknown whether the Great Xia Dynasty did not conceal the spatial awakener's special ability in order to boost morale.

Therefore, anyone with even a slight connection within the Kyoto Research Institute can find out about that space-type ability awakener who can help others expand and broaden their spatial abilities.

That's why Qin Hanxiao was only slightly taken aback when he saw the item that suddenly appeared next to his natal car, before returning to normal.

However, with the information that Dong Qi deliberately revealed this time, Qin Hanxiao's regard for Dong Qi increased even further.

As more and more items appeared beside the car, Qin Hanxiao looked at them for a while, then took out his walkie-talkie and said directly to him, "Seventh Brother, bring a bigger tray to the parking lot. I've received some good stuff."

After hearing the reply from the other end of the walkie-talkie, Qin Hanxiao put it away.

After seeing that no new items appeared around his vehicle, Qin Hanxiao immediately began to sort the supplies that had appeared on the ground.

In fact, after several transactions, Dong Qi had not brought much of the supplies from the island nation left, and this time he had cleared out all the remaining stock.

However, since we couldn't read the island nation's language when selecting supplies, we prioritized items with more elaborate packaging.

So even though the remaining supplies may not seem like much, they are actually quite valuable.

As for telling Peng Qi that he had already given up all the supplies during the last transaction, that was not the truth. After all, when you make a transaction with someone, if you reveal your final hand right away, you will inevitably leave some room for negotiation.

And after seeing how readily Peng Qi agreed, Dong Qi actually regretted it at the time, feeling that he had been taken advantage of.

The reason for bringing out all the remaining supplies this time is firstly because the quantity of the remaining items is indeed not large.

Secondly, this transaction was not a barter transaction; the quantity of items offered determined the specific value of the vouchers Dong Qi could obtain from Qin Hanxiao.

That's why Dong Qi took out all the remaining items he brought from the island nation to trade with Qin Hanxiao.

After Qin Hanxiao finished assessing the specifics of the items on the ground, he originally intended to hand all the vouchers in his hand to Dong Qi.

But after hesitating for a moment, he traded some vouchers to Dong Qi based on his assessment of the actual value of the supplies.

After casually accepting the voucher from Qin Hanxiao, Dong Qi immediately said, "Since the transaction is complete, and this is your territory anyway, I'll stay here with you."

I happen to have some money on hand, and I need to go to the market to buy some things, so I'll head out first.

After bidding farewell to Qin Hanxiao, Dong Qi quickly left the parking lot and returned to the military supplies trading market.

Although I took a quick stroll through the market last time and got a general idea of ​​what kind of goods were being sold there.

But when Dong Qi actually started purchasing, he realized just how powerful the vouchers in his hands were.

Despite the presence of not only officially organized hunting teams but also numerous privately formed hunting groups, they are constantly hunting and killing those giant mutated marine creatures.

In reality, the edible flesh and blood that has been broken down into parts rarely appears on the market. Even if ordinary people have spare money and want to buy it, it is difficult for them to find a suitable way to do so.

The flesh and blood of giant mutated marine creatures, which are rarely seen outside, are available here with unlimited quantities and clearly marked prices.

Although the prices listed here are not low, the fact that they can supply an unlimited quantity shows the strength of this market.

Although furniture is sold in this market, all of it is assembled furniture, unlike the solid wood finished furniture sold in other furniture markets.

Therefore, after deducting the high cost of furniture, Dong Qi could actually buy many items with the vouchers he had just redeemed.

Perhaps due to the current power shortage, even those home appliances that have been repaired and are now working normally have not only not increased in price compared to peacetime, but have actually decreased significantly.

After all, those who can open shops in this market all have some connections. Although they don't know Qin Hanxiao's identity, if he can know this, the other shop owners selling electrical appliances must also know it.

The appliances they're selling right now, needless to say, were definitely repaired by awakened individuals with repair-related superpowers.

We've already incurred some costs to restore it to normal. If we don't sell it as soon as possible, and it gets damaged again by an electromagnetic pulse the next time it appears, we'll still need to incur additional costs to restore it if we want to sell it again.

Therefore, if those appliances are not sold as soon as possible, it is unknown how much cost it will take to sell them again in the future.

Some might argue that those electronic devices are unusable because they have been damaged by electromagnetic pulses.

Let's leave it like this for now, and ask an Awakened Restorationist to help with the repairs when someone confirms their purchase.

While this idea could theoretically reduce repair costs, it is actually very difficult to implement.

It's important to know that repair-type ability users are extremely sought after right now. Inviting them to come and repair a large number of electrical devices at once is a huge expense, not to mention the actual cost.

It's practically impossible to get them to stay here permanently and repair the appliances they sell at any time.

Even if they offered a high price to satisfy that Awakened One with the ability to restore health, the imperial court would not agree to let an Awakened One with restorative abilities waste time here.

For this reason, the prices of all the electrical appliances sold in the stores did not increase at this time; on the contrary, they offered very large discounts.
