Chapter 94: Chapter 062: Are They Here to Poach Talent?_2
Assorted goods suddenly appeared, and immediately captured the attention of many people at the scene.
The food was alright; their territory had a restaurant, and combined with the various supplies they had obtained from killing the Demon Beast, they were able to get by. As for weapons, the territory’s Blacksmith Shop sold Iron Axes and Long Spears. Although they were a bit expensive, everyone could chip in together to buy them.
But other items, such as leather armor, Anti-black suits, torches, and sweet potato flour were very exotic to them.
Furthermore, those weapons mentioned in the conversation were idle.
Suddenly, many people noticed that some of the Undead were carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and so were Zhong Yongnian and a few others.
At that moment, looking at these people, the residents of Yuxi Village felt as if they were not living in the same world.
Both entered the Doomsday Game on the same day, both lived within a territory, yet why were their circumstances so uneven?
After collecting their thoughts, some cautiously asked, "How much are you selling these items for?"
If the prices were too high, they wouldn’t be able to afford them. They just hoped the prices would be slightly cheaper than in their own territory since these were all necessities.
"A bun for three copper coins."
"An Iron Axe for 60 silver coins."
"A Long Spear for 70 silver coins." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"This umbrella costs 10 silver coins; its Durability may be low, but it can prevent snowflakes from falling on you."
...
These price quotations came out of the mouths of Zhong Yongnian and his companions, who were well aware that such prices were very attractive to the residents of Yuxi Village.
From the residents of other territories, they knew that the prices of weapons would only be at least double these prices, if not more.
Of course, they could have sold them for even higher prices, but it wasn’t necessary.
Doing business was real, but the most important thing was to bring back as many people as possible.
A moment of silence ensued at the scene, then quickly everyone reacted, scrambling to speak up first.
"I want an umbrella."
"I want one too."
"I want ten buns."
"Give me an Iron Axe."
"I’ll take a Long Spear."
"And ten torches for me."
...
At the scene, everyone was scrambling, as if afraid they wouldn’t get the chance if they were too late.
Watching their frantic behavior, Zhong Yongnian and his peers exchanged glances.
The first step was a success.
Following that, Bayer and others began to set up their stalls, and seeing the space under the tent was not sufficient, they directly built another tent on-site, forming a new trading area.
Initially, some people who were hiding inside the tents, upon hearing the continuous noise, also came out from their shelters, and upon understanding what was happening, they too quickly joined the buying frenzy.
And those who were strapped for cash, hearing that the buns were only three copper coins each, directly moved to the bun stall.
Yun Juncai’s stall was selling the buns; though he only made one copper coin per bun, the volume sold was the highest, and it was a case of small profits but quick turnover.
Eventually, while selling, Yun Juncai noticed two small figures had appeared beside his stall; they were trembling as they stood there, staring unblinkingly at the bun stall.
When he saw them, Yun Juncai was taken aback.
To be honest, in Hope Village, the only child he knew was Cao Jingshan’s daughter, Cao Zhu, and beyond that, there were no others; they had even discussed this, feeling it was a bit of kindness from the Doomsday Game.
Unexpectedly, Yuxi Village had two more children since he left.
Thinking this, Yun Juncai’s voice softened a lot, "Kids, where are your parents?"
While speaking, Yun Juncai directly bought two Beast Skin coats from Zhong Yongnian’s stall and draped them over the children’s shoulders.
Feeling the warmth on their bodies and looking at Yun Juncai, the children moved their lips but remained silent. Then, someone following behind said, "They are orphans, rescued by someone who went out a few days ago. Seeing them pitiful, we all took turns feeding them, and someone gave them a Beast Skin blanket. It’s possible everyone thought they were being taken care of and just overlooked them?"
After all, in heavy snow, apart from sitting by the fire, most wouldn’t dare to leave the tents.
As for sitting by the fire, although it was warm, it could also make the skin uncomfortably hot.
Listening to this, Yun Juncai said to the two, "If you are willing, why don’t you come back to Hope Village with me? There are also jobs that children can do there."
If it had been before the apocalypse, employing child labor might have gotten him scolded to death, but now, it could provide a place for these two children.
Hearing this, the children’s eyes widened.
People around, hearing this, directly said to the children, "This uncle used to be from our territory, and he’s quite reliable; you can go with him."
After speaking, they turned to Yun Juncai, "Is there work we can do too?"
Hearing this, Yun Juncai didn’t hesitate and nodded, "Yes, in Hope Village we also have some elderly, infirm, and disabled who don’t leave the territory, but they still manage to find work within the territory to earn money, help in the canteen, make things to sell themselves, or handle logistics for a team... There’s always something to do."
As Yun Juncai spoke, many people perked up their ears, visibly moved.
Truth be told, Hope Village was indeed not bad!
At least in terms of strength, from these people, from the things they brought, it was clear to see that Hope Village must be better than Yuxi Village.
Water flows downwards, and people ascend towards better things.
With a better place available and someone to lead the way, why not?
"When are you leaving?"
"How far is it from here to Hope Village, and is it convenient to travel in heavy snow?"
"Given our condition, can we make it to Hope Village?"
...
After hearing these tempting details, many immediately inquired further.
And when Bevin, the Lord of Yuxi Village, arrived with his group, this was what they heard.
His face instantly darkened.
So, they came to poach people???
