Chapter 23: An Exhilarating Trade

That day, Lin Lang was once again reminded of the fear instilled by Ma Yinjiao’s photos.

He closed his eyes:

"You guys, squat in the corner, I’ll talk to you later."

Ning Shuangyu waved her fists from the side:

"Hurry up and go!"

Upon hearing this, Wang LianDa, Ma Yinjiao, and the others didn’t dare to hesitate.

They quickly ran to the corner of the rooftop and squatted with their heads in their hands.

The three little security guards also helped each other as they walked into the corner.

Then.

Lin Lang turned his gaze to the remaining dozen or so property owners.

The property owners all swallowed hard.

Lin Bulang and the other person were too ruthless!

They actually beat Wang LianDa and the others like this!

What will he do next?

Rob us of our supplies?

Then kill us to silence us?

That little girl is a superpower user, killing a few ordinary people would be as easy as slicing through butter!

Finally!

Someone started crying:

"Lord, I only brought a bottle of Maotai, you can take it! Please spare my life!"

Then the situation spiraled out of control.

Everyone started crying and begging for mercy:

"Lord, spare us!"

Lin Lang was speechless—do I look like an unreasonable person?

The crowd cried bitterly.

Even Ning Shuangyu felt sympathetic, rubbing her eyes and said to Lin Lang:

"Lin Lang, they are so pitiful, don’t kill them."

Lin Lang: "..."

Oh come on!

I haven’t lifted a finger!

Just now you were the one who was beating them the most happily!

And now you make it look like I’m the culprit!

Lin Lang felt a bit of a headache, and could only support his forehead and say:

"Alright! Why are you crying? What do I need your lives for? I’m here to trade supplies!"

Only then did everyone gradually stop crying.

Lin Lang pointed at the person who wanted to trade Maotai and said:

"Your Maotai, what do you want to exchange it for?"

That person sniffed but still said with a crying tone:

"Whatever the lord says, it is!"

Lin Lang was a bit amused but said:

"Ten bottles of purified water, plus ten packs of instant noodles!"

"Damn!"

That person subconsciously exclaimed, then looked pleasantly surprised.

"Really, lord?"

Lin Lang said to Ning Shuangyu:

"Give him ten bottles of water."

Ning Shuangyu was dumbfounded upon hearing that:

"What? Me?"

Lin Lang furrowed his brow:

"Didn’t I tell you to keep them in your jacket pocket?"

"Huh?"

Ning Shuangyu clearly remembered that Lin Lang didn’t ask her to bring anything when they left!

But seeing Lin Lang’s determined face.

She wondered if she remembered wrong, so she instinctively reached into her pocket to feel around.

As a result, when she did!

Her expression immediately changed!

Because!

There was indeed a bottle of purified water in her jacket pocket!

What the hell!

When did it get there!

There was a heavy bottle of water in her pocket, and she didn’t feel a thing?

She took it out, looking bewildered and said:

"What a strange thing, when did it get in? But, that’s only one bottle..."

Lin Lang calmly said:

"Keep looking."

"There’s really no..."

Ning Shuangyu was certain, she had only felt one bottle just now!

But when she reached in, she found there really was another bottle!

She was stunned.

She took out another bottle.

Then a third bottle.

A fourth bottle...

She, in one go, pulled out ten bottles of mineral water and ten packs of instant noodles from her palm-sized jacket pocket!

Everyone watched this unbelievable scene with their own eyes!

Every time Ning Shuangyu took something out of her pocket.

They gasped!

Until their bellies couldn’t take it anymore.

Superpower user!

This is a superpower user!

Being able to pull out countless supplies from a pocket anytime, anywhere!

What a magnificent power!

Practically a god-like existence!

At this moment, they all couldn’t help but feel grateful—it’s a good thing they didn’t listen to Wang LianDa’s instigation earlier!

Lord Bulang not only brought supplies!

But also came with sincerity!

And Wang LianDa and the others, seeing this scene, could only squat there questioning their existence!

"Lord! Actually, I don’t just have Maotai at home, I also have all kinds of red wine! If it’s convenient, wait for me a moment, I’ll go get them immediately!"

The person trading the Maotai said with excitement.

But Lin Lang frowned:

"Next time, I’m quite busy right now."

The person’s expression turned a bit disappointed.

But hearing there would be a next time, they nodded repeatedly:

"Next time! I’ll bring the most expensive alcohol from my home next time!"

Lin Lang didn’t confirm, and asked the next person:

"What are you trading?"

That person said excitedly:

"Lord! I’m trading a watch! A Patek Philippe! Just for a hundred bottles of purified water will do!"

A bottle of Maotai worth thousands can be exchanged for ten bottles of purified water.

Wouldn’t this Patek Philippe, worth hundreds of thousands, be exchanged for a few hundred bottles?

But upon hearing this, the onlookers were in an uproar!

Come on!

What time is it now?

It’s the apocalypse!

What does the lord need a watch for? It surely won’t do...

But Lin Lang said:

"Okay."

Everyone gasped!

What?

He really traded?

That person’s eyes lit up, preparing to cheer.

But then he heard Lin Lang say:

"But, a hundred bottles is impossible, ten bottles like the others."

To suddenly cut from a hundred to ten, it’s only natural to feel disappointed.

But that person didn’t dare say much, after all, it’s still Lord Bulang’s stage.

Moreover, he himself knew.

In times of scarce resources, food and water are the most precious!

No matter how expensive the watch, it’s worthless now!

So he gritted his teeth:

"Alright! Thank you, lord!"

Lin Lang then turned his gaze to Ning Shuangyu.

Ning Shuangyu: "???"

Could it be...

That there’s still more in my pocket?

But when she reached in...

There really was more.

She pulled out ten more bottles of purified water.

Ning Shuangyu’s gaze towards Lin Lang started to change.

What’s really going on?

Could it be, he’s using magic?

Lin Lang called again:

"Next! Your turn."

"Lord!"

The person pointed at quickly ran over.

"I have a bag of coffee powder, milk tea packets! Also, syrups for all kinds of juices! All for you, I want water! I want food!"

Lin Lang nodded:

"Alright, ten bottles of water. Next."

"Lord! I have a box of sets here!"

"Hmm, at most one bottle of water for that. Next."

"Lord! I have a potent medicine every man needs!"

"Ha! Who do you think you’re looking down on? No need for that! Not even one bottle of water!"

"Lord! I have a collection of DVDs I have cherished for many years, all classics! Everyone who watched said they were great! I didn’t even sell them when someone offered ten thousand before!"

"Well... whether they’re classic or not, we should support the arts! Thirty bottles of water."

"Damn!"

...

It was truly a thrilling trade!

Aside from a few items Lin Lang couldn’t use at all—especially that so-called potent medicine!

The rest, Lin Lang traded at reasonable prices one way or another.

He gave away about a hundred bottles of water, more than fifty packs of instant noodles, and several dozen small snacks.

Receiving items like Maotai, expensive watches, coffee powder, and other things.

Though they weren’t necessities, they greatly enhanced the quality of life.

Everyone was satisfied.

Except.

For those who hurriedly traded heart medication with Wang LianDa earlier.

Wang LianDa offered them very low prices.

Not even half of what Lin Lang offered.

They stood there with pale faces, wanting to speak but saying nothing.

Finally.

It was still Feiyangyang who stood up, smiling worse than crying:

"Lord Bulang, earlier we were deceived by Wang LianDa!"

"We still wish to cooperate with you!"

"Look, the medicine is already in your hands, can we trade at the previous price again?"
