Chapter 2500

The transaction simply couldn't proceed smoothly.

Ren Yunchuan's brow furrowed.

He strode in long steps to the back of the trading point.

He roared at the top of his lungs:

"All of you, shut up!

"What are you pushing for?! Look at the state of yourselves!?"

"Put the trader down! What are you trying to do!?

"Stop pushing! Those 200,000 wheat grains and 10 million experience fruits have already been sealed in storage — no one can buy them!"

"These supplies have to be confirmed first before they'll be opened for sale. Now line up again!"

"Lords of the Tongyan Main Team, go to trading points 1 and 2. Lords of the Binghe Main Team, go to trading points 3 and 4…"

"I'll see who dares to cause more chaos — kicked out immediately!

"Fall back and line up again!

"Right now! Immediately!!"

The scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked toward Ren Yunchuan.

Although there were many lords from other main teams present, Ren Yunchuan had the authority to manage them.

The lords on site all knew he was the captain of the Tongyan Main Team.

No one dared to say a word.

Most of the lords began following his arrangements, quickly heading to their own main team's trading point.

Only the lords who had been near the front of the line but now had to switch trading points were somewhat resentful.

But there was nothing they could do.

They didn't dare defy the main team captain either.

Besides, the lords who belonged to this trading point had already arrived — they had to leave whether they wanted to or not.

Zhao Chi and Su Qin also followed the arrangements and came to trading point 4 to line up.

At that moment, Zhao Chi suddenly received a message.

【Ren Yunchuan has sent a communication request. Accept and add him? This person is from the "White Tiger Regiment Communication Group"】

Ren Yunchuan is looking for me?

Although Zhao Chi was a little surprised, he immediately knew it must be about those wheat grains and experience fruits.

Otherwise there'd be no reason to find him.

He clicked accept.

Ren Yunchuan 【Zhao Chi, are you still in Cloud County?】

Zhao Chi 【I'm here, Captain Ren】

Ren Yunchuan 【Can you come around to the back of the trading point? Regarding the two large sales orders you registered, I want to ask about the situation. I just tried contacting Li Ruanyu, but she hasn't replied — she must be busy】

Li Ruanyu really was busy.

Busy "making peace" with Shangguan Ting.

Zhao Chi said to Su Qin: "Hold my place in line here for me. Captain Ren wants me to go over for a bit."

Su Qin nodded: "Okay, do you need me to come along?"

"No need."

"Mm."

Zhao Chi made his way around the crowds of lords and walked to the back of the trading point.

He saw Ren Yunchuan and two vice-captains were all over there.

Zhao Chi gave a simple salute, and the captains immediately returned the courtesy.

Ren Yunchuan laughed: "Zhao Chi, we meet again. These past two days have really been too busy, and then I started organizing this temporary trading post as well. I haven't properly thanked you yet — with your skills, our battles have gone much more smoothly."

Zhao Chi immediately shook his head: "You're too kind, Captain Ren. It's all just what should be done."

"I called you over to ask — the quantities and prices on those two sales orders you submitted, they're really correct, right?"

"Mm, correct, I confirmed it." Zhao Chi was quite certain.

"Why wouldn't Li Ruanyu mention such a huge order in advance…"

Ren Yunchuan muttered quietly to himself, then asked again: "This batch of wheat grains and experience fruits… they're all normal goods, right? Not contaminated or damaged in any way? The registration info says they're brand new — that's really not a problem, is it?"

Zhao Chi was momentarily speechless.

Selling too cheaply, Ren Yunchuan naturally assumed the goods were of poor quality.

When selling food, it all had to be labeled.

If it had been contaminated, that also had to be noted truthfully.

Moreover, food itself came with quality data, and all of that data had to be stated when submitting.

After all, most people were normal people — if food had come into contact with things like human flesh, they really would have some psychological resistance to it.

The price would also be lower.

Zhao Chi laughed: "Don't worry, Captain Ren. It's all brand-new grain — I just labeled all the detailed information. And the experience fruits are also brand new, uncontaminated. We can all eat them without worry."

Ren Yunchuan nodded: "Mm, that's true too. Li Ruanyu wouldn't sell inferior goods — even if the quality wasn't great, she'd note it… But has she really confirmed she wants to sell? Grain counts as a strategic resource. Why sell brand-new stuff so cheaply? And in such large quantities too?"

Zhao Chi said: "Captain Li definitely wants to sell. As for the price… she just said she wanted to help the lords of our White Tiger Regiment recover their strength as quickly as possible. I didn't ask about the other reasons in detail."

"Did she say she's selling to all the lords? She didn't say to prioritize selling to the regiment or the main team?"

"Mm, the first batch is like that."

"The first batch?"

Ren Yunchuan sensed something was off.

"Yes."

"She still has more???"

"She does, and quite a lot, probably."

"Quite a lot??? Wheat and experience fruits too!?" Ren Yunchuan's brows knit together.

"Yes."

"Wow… what on earth has Li Ruanyu been up to lately…?"

Ren Yunchuan's face showed confusion and surprise.

Then he asked again, "The trade point—I see it's set at your territory? Have the goods already been shipped over? They're all in stock, right? Once they arrive on your end, they can be picked up directly?"

Zhao Chi confirmed, "Of course, all in stock. Once the order goes through, you can head over and pick them up—you can claim them right now."

Ren Yunchuan let out a soft sigh, then nodded: "Understood. I have no other questions. It's mainly that a sales order this large is uncommon, and the price is really too cheap, so I still wanted to confirm in person. Since you've confirmed, that's fine. Li Ruanyu gave you full authorization, which proves she trusts you a great deal. Anyone she trusts, I trust too. So I'll unseal it and open the trade."

"Thank you, Captain Ren."

"Don't thank me—we should all be thanking Li Ruanyu. She must have stumbled into some kind of opportunity lately. Fashion and equipment, grain and experience fruits… alright, Zhao Chi, thanks for answering all that for me."

"Alright, I'll go queue up for the trade then."

"Mm, thanks for your trouble."

"Haha, no problem at all."

Zhao Chi pushed the matter onto Li Ruanyu, letting her handle the explanation.

After all, the reasons and excuses she came up with were bound to be far more reliable—and far more believable—than anything Zhao Chi could think of.

Besides, Li Ruanyu had said before that if this kind of situation came up, push it all onto her and let her figure out how to explain it.

Li Ruanyu didn't just have that pair of soft, big, round eyes—she could also spin excuses airtight.

Then he'd leave it to her.

Zhao Chi also typed out a message, informing Li Ruanyu of what had just happened, so she could think up her excuses in advance when she had time later.

He arrived at the back of the queue once more.

Now the ten lines had rearranged themselves neatly, each with around a hundred people.

The numbers really weren't small.

Zhao Chi didn't mind being at the back of the line.

Because more lords were still arriving one after another, and their sales orders were also being added to the trade inventory. The later it got, the more stock there would be, and the more variety.

Besides, what Zhao Chi was buying was Speed-Work Talismans—nobody was really fighting over them.

To most lords, Speed-Work Talismans were just ordinary items.
