The exact location is uncertain.
L: "You said before that I could speak with the base commander before coming, is that true?"
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Of course it's true, please wait a moment."
Sang Luoluo then invited Sang Tong and Chang Mingyao to join the call.
Soon, the faces of the two base commanders appeared in the call.
Chang Mingyao wore a polite smile, "Hello, L. Welcome to the base for an interview."
Sang Tong shared the same sentiment. "You don't need to worry about your safety. Since it's a collaboration, we should naturally show sincerity."
L was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting both base commanders to appear; this Sang Luoluo's words certainly carried weight.
Seeing that L was becoming more and more interested, Sang Luoluo chatted briefly with the two base leaders. Both sides expressed their intention to cooperate, so they agreed on a place for Sang Luoluo to pick him up.
It's not appropriate for Qi Feng and Sang Luoluo to go together; too many people wouldn't be suitable.
Qi Feng piloted the aircraft directly towards the dense forest on the outskirts of the base. An hour later, in a relatively open area of the dense forest, he saw L below.
L was still leading his people in search of food, but due to the recent continuous rain, they hadn't found much edible supplies, and not a single vehicle was fully loaded.
The aircraft slowly came to a stop. Sang Luoluo scanned the surrounding area within a 10,000-meter radius with her Mental Power and found no ambush. She then disembarked with Qi Feng.
"L, come on up."
Li Cheng boarded the flying vehicle with Wang Jian beside him.
Li Cheng proactively found a seat and introduced himself, "My name is Li Cheng, and this is my subordinate, Wang Jian."
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "My name is Sang Luoluo, and this is my assistant, secretary, and bodyguard Qi Feng."
"Take a short rest, and we'll be at the base in about an hour."
Li Cheng watched the aircraft fly smoothly in the air and said, "You only sent out one aircraft. What if it gets attacked by mutated birds on the way? It can't just crash, can it?"
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen. We'll ensure your safety."
Li Cheng's lips curled into a smile as his gaze swept across the area. He began to ponder the secrets of Base No. 32. How could an aircraft dare to fly so openly in the air? Could it be some kind of secret weapon?
Before he could come up with a solution, the aircraft had already docked on the top floor of Base 03.
Sang Luoluo reminded, "Come down, this is where the base commander is."
Sang Tong, Chang Mingyao, and several other high-ranking members of the base were present. They didn't intend for too many high-ranking members of the base to know about the deal with the free forces; too many people knowing would cause too much trouble.
Wang Jian looked at the fully armed Guard around him, each one looking sharp and holding Crystal Core. He stared at them and couldn't help but take two steps closer.
Looking down, there were so many layers; the people on the ground looked so small.
Although Li Cheng appeared calm on the surface, the occasional expressions of surprise he revealed were genuine, and Sang Luoluo secretly observed their reactions.
Li Cheng was also observing the legendary Base 03, which had landed right at the entrance of Base No. 32. He could now see the two base commanders walking together up close, and in the distance, he could even see people coming and going inside the base, with a constant stream of vehicles transporting goods. It was truly bustling.
We arrived at the conference room quickly.
Li Cheng opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip. The taste was... well, it's mineral water sold on the Farm App. It would certainly make a good impression to serve it to guests.
"What's your name? I'm Chang Mingyao, the base commander." Chang Mingyao sat casually, next to Sang Tong.
Sang Tong, however, became much more serious. "I am Base Commander Sang Tong."
" Li Cheng."
Li Cheng took the initiative to explain the purpose of his visit.
"I want to trade for potions, salt, some field equipment, and Crystal Core."
Chang Mingyao raised an eyebrow. "Sure, but we'll have to exchange it for Crystal Core."
"Also, we don't have much salt at our base, so we can't exchange it with you. You'll have to figure that out yourselves. This stuff is even more important than Crystal Core."
There are only a few sources of salt, and it's not so easy to go to a sea base. Not only is the journey long, but they also lack the connections for trading.
It's unrealistic to buy salt from other bases at high prices; no base would proactively sell salt.
Li Cheng gritted his teeth. "I can buy salt at a high price, and I don't need much. You only need to sell us a portion. Let me get rid of this urgent problem first."
Chang Mingyao glanced at Sang Tong, "I insist. Our base doesn't even have enough salt for itself, and obtaining salt is too difficult; we have no other choice."
As he spoke, he looked at Sang Luoluo, recalling how she had risked so much to obtain salt last time, almost dying outside.
Who would sell such precious resources for such a small amount of Crystal Core? That would be foolish.
Sang Tong hesitated for a moment, but then agreed with his point of view, saying, "Apart from salt, almost everything else can be traded. Let's talk about other goods first."
Since the salt issue wasn't settled, they had to discuss other things before Li Cheng.
"Potions, regular wound healing potions, and growth potions that can make arms and legs grow back, I want them all. How many can you give me?" Li Cheng asked extravagantly.
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng sat quietly to the side, listening.
Chang Mingyao had his assistant bring over a piece of paper that listed the prices of various potions in the base. Each potion was very expensive, and payment was only accepted in Crystal Core.
Holding the Li Cheng in his hand, Li Cheng felt his eyes were about to glaze over.
Chapter 325 Transaction Twists and Turns: Now They're Slandering Us Behind the Scenes, Our Base...
The sheer number of medicines listed exceeded his expectations. Although he wouldn't need most of them, he still managed to spot a few that he urgently needed after a quick glance.
Li Cheng pursed his lips; the price listed was significantly higher than he knew.
Perhaps sensing his concerns, Base Chief Chang Mingyao explained, "The usual price only circulates within the base, since the base residents also need a lot of potions. Extracting and producing potions is difficult, and our base usually trades with other bases at this price. In the past two years, due to the emergence of Farm App, everyone's demand for Crystal Core has increased, so price fluctuations are normal."
Chang Mingyao and continued, "You can also ask at other bases about their prices. I'm not bragging, but the efficacy of our base's healing potions is among the best of all the bases."
Although the price was high, Li Cheng understood that if he missed the opportunity to trade with Base No. 32, things wouldn't be so easy with other bases. There were so many free forces, and they had too many conflicts with the major bases. They were always just robbing each other, so they didn't have a good reputation with other bases.
It would be strange if they offered a good price.
Gritting his teeth, Li Cheng decided to purchase a batch of medicines. He took out a pen and marked several urgently needed medicines and several commonly used cold and fever medicines on a piece of paper, and bought them in bulk.
Base Commander Chang Mingyao sent him a video via his wristwatch, calmly smiling as he said, "For our first collaboration, I'm showing you a new medicine. It has exceptionally good therapeutic effects and multiple uses. This is the result. For this first time, I can make an exception and sell you 50 vials."
Li Cheng and Wang Jian behind him clicked on the video out of curiosity. Sang Luoluo's mental energy just happened to capture the content of the video, which was the potion that her brother had just made.
A special green potion containing his evolutionary abilities.
This reagent does not have a special name, but only a code, and the code at the end of each reagent is different.
Sang Luoluo had witnessed the effects of this medicine firsthand; it was effective not only in treating broken legs and feet, but also in treating radiation-related issues, awakening consciousness, repairing damage, and reducing fever.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a panacea.
It's obvious that Li Cheng would be tempted.
Li Cheng and Wang Jian were astonished when they saw it. The video showed the experimental effects of the potion, and most importantly, it could increase the chances of awakening evolutionary abilities.
That's absolutely incredible.
There are several seriously ill patients in my family. If this medicine really works, it could be a lifesaver.
After reading it, Li Cheng sighed softly, "It's a good thing, but does such a thing really exist? Does it really have such an effect?"
If such a thing really existed, the other bases would be scrambling to get their hands on it, how could he possibly have a chance!
Base Commander Chang Mingyao smiled upon hearing this, "It's a newly developed product. We've already tested its effectiveness, and we plan to market it to other bases as well."
"You can buy it or not, it's not mandatory."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng immediately made a decision. "Buy!"
Although the price is high, it's acceptable to exchange it for Crystal Core.
The base commander, Chang Mingyao, saw that he bought so many potions without even blinking, which meant that he was not short of Crystal Core, or that he had a channel to obtain Crystal Core.
"Is there any food left? I can buy some," Li Cheng continued to ask.
Base Commander Chang Mingyao replied with a faint smile, "Of course, we sell nutrient solutions here, as well as canned goods, but the prices are a bit higher. The quantity I can sell to you is also limited."
Food supplies at the base are ultimately still scarce, and priority must be given to supplying our own base.
The excess can be used to exchange for Crystal Core. Buy as much mineral water as possible from the Farm App.
They didn't have much food Li Cheng, but they could buy a batch of nutrient solution.
Thinking about how much his family lacked, Li Cheng asked, "Do you have any water bottles or water storage tanks? I need 100,000."
