Scrap Metal for Energy Cores

"What exactly is an Energy Core?" President Liu frowned, unable to resist asking.

"Yeah, what's the use of an Energy Core?"

"I need to exchange for quite a few things, where can I get so many Energy Cores?"

"Can I exchange with food? I really don't have this thing called an Energy Core."

Countless questions were thrown at him.

Seeing this, Li Chen smiled slightly.

He saw the door to the dining hall open.

Immediately after, the mountains of food piled inside were revealed!

There was rice, flour, vegetables, meat, and fish, everything imaginable!

"This is just the temporary storage area for the cafeteria on the 7th floor," Li Chen grinned mischievously, "Do you all think I lack food?"

Instantly, everyone present was greatly astonished, their mouths agape.

Everyone knew that the things placed in the back kitchen were just to avoid the trouble of moving them.

It couldn't be considered a warehouse.

Just the cafeteria on one floor had so much food...

"Alright, everyone, stop bargaining. How about you follow me to see the goods first, and then decide?"

Li Chen said, standing up.

He came to the Weapon Storage Area One.

The lights automatically turned on.

He saw the steel walls were covered with a dazzling array of equipment!

There were Hand Grenades, RPGs, and Rifles.

There was even an Electromagnetic Cannon!

President Liu and the others' mouths widened.

"This, this, this..."

Even an armory probably didn't have this many firearms!

And the variety was extensive, many of them being high-precision, new-generation weapons from foreign countries.

Just looking at them was shocking.

President Liu couldn't help but reach out and touch one.

Tears immediately flowed from the corners of his mouth...

"How is it? Do you all want them?"

"Buy weapons now and get ammunition for free."

Li Chen said with a smile.

This simple sentence almost made everyone present lose control of themselves.

It wasn't just that they wanted to.

Their hearts were practically leaping out of their chests!

It just goes to show how comparing yourself to others can drive you crazy.

They were currently using makeshift hunting rifles, and most of their weapons were still fruit knives and kitchen knives.

But Li Chen, on the other hand, had an armory!

"Can I... try it first?" Yang Chengyi asked.

Li Chen nodded slightly.

He let everyone choose weapons they were comfortable with, then led them to the atrium elevator.

They went straight to the first floor—the Army Training Ground.

Besides targets and ear protection for shooting practice, there were also wooden dummies for training with cold weapons.

Li Chen noticed that Yang Chengyi and the others were all holding the latest model rifles.

Only President Liu held a long halberd and a long saber.

Clearly, President Liu had a soft spot for cold weapons!

Bang bang—

Yang Chengyi and the others immediately started practicing with their guns.

President Liu also began hacking and slashing at the wooden dummy with his cold weapons.

A flash of light from the saber.

Immediately after, the wooden dummy was sliced directly in half!

"Good saber!" President Liu looked at the long saber in his hand with infatuation, stroking it repeatedly.

He wasn't stupid.

Guns were good, but they needed bullets.

Getting a few for self-defense was enough.

Before the apocalypse, because guns were prohibited, not many of President Liu's subordinates knew how to shoot.

Cold weapons were more practical!

After everyone excitedly finished trying out the weapons, they gathered together.

"This is great! With these, killing zombies will be like slicing watermelons!"

"Hahaha, Old Liu, why are you holding a cold weapon? Don't tell me you want to fight the zombies hand-to-hand? Why don't you try the gun I have here? It's the latest AK-103 developed by Bear Country!"

"Get lost, what do you know? My M416 is the best..."

Li Chen looked at these people's excited expressions and nodded slightly.

Before the apocalypse arrived, Noah had already cracked the weapon arsenals of various countries. Then, it mass-produced weapons from the weapon manufacturing base. In a short period, the warehouses were already full, almost overflowing.

These weapons, which were the ceiling of human military power at the time, were insignificant in front of Li Chen!

As long as he continued to upgrade, the weapon manufacturing base could even manufacture firearms from a Level 1 civilization. By then, the weapons they had now would be scrap metal. It would be better to sell them to others. This way, he could make a profit and clear inventory...

"Everyone, are you satisfied with these weapons?" Li Chen asked with a smile.

"Satisfied, more than satisfied."

"It's just the price..."

The old foxes said this while observing Li Chen's expression out of the corner of their eyes. If they could have these firearms, the safety of their shelters would be greatly improved. They could even send people out to search for supplies and so on. They were only afraid that Li Chen would inflate the price!

"Heh, since Yang Wei is my classmate, I naturally won't treat President Yang unfairly," Li Chen said with a smile. "An AK-103 only costs 50 Energy Cores, a Hand Grenade costs one Energy Core each, and a box of bullets costs one Energy Core! As for cold weapons, they are 10 Energy Cores each!"

As soon as he said this, Yang Chengyi's face turned red with excitement. He kept patting Yang Wei's shoulder!

One must know that the current zombies were actually not strong. As long as one had courage, they could even kill them with a kitchen knife. In Yang Chengyi's eyes, this price could already be described as cheap.

Seeing this, the others were slightly uneasy.

"Mr. Li, is this discount only for the Yang Family?"

Hearing this, Li Chen deliberately put on a troubled expression, his brows tightly furrowed.

He looked around, as if making a firm decision: "Meeting is fate. Everyone present will get the same price as the Yang Family!"

After speaking, Li Chen even deliberately gritted his teeth.

Immediately, everyone was ecstatic.

Whether it was Li Chen's performance or the allure of the new rifles in his hand.

They all felt like they had gotten a huge bargain!

It's just...

"I don't have any Energy Cores on hand right now, Mr. Li. Can we sign a contract? I'll go back and immediately bring people to collect Energy Cores, and then come back to exchange!"

President Liu said with a bit of trepidation.

He was afraid that as soon as he turned around, Li Chen would regret it and raise the price!

Li Chen looked at these old foxes and first shook his head.

Immediately, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Then, Li Chen deliberately kept them in suspense and slowly said, "Contract? It's already the apocalypse, what kind of binding force does a contract have?"

"Don't worry, everyone, you can take the weapons back first. After you hunt for Energy Cores, you can pay slowly."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was overjoyed!

"Really?"

Li Chen said calmly, "Of course, just consider it making friends with everyone."

Suddenly, all the old foxes were overjoyed.

They really didn't expect Li Chen to be willing to sell on credit.

"Mr. Li is truly righteous! We admire you greatly!"

"Don't worry, after we go back, we will definitely organize people to kill the Zombies until not a single one is left! We'll get as many Energy Cores as you want!"

"From now on, if the Star-Level Shelter needs anything, just let me know directly!"

The old foxes immediately expressed their stance.

Of course, whether they could actually do it in the end was another matter.

Anyway, they had gotten a bargain now, so they might as well express their attitude first.

"Alright, everyone, report the numbers, and I'll have someone organize them for you."

Li Chen smiled slightly.

He wasn't a young man, so he naturally wouldn't believe everything.

"I want two hundred AK-103s, plus 600 boxes of bullets!"

"I want 120 broadswords, plus 40 M416s!"
