Chapter 289 Healthy Competition
Caesar searched for quite a few more items yesterday afternoon, which might be technological products of lower civilization.
After following Jiang Wanwan into the supermarket, he took them out one by one and put them into the star coin exchanger to try.
But to be honest, it is difficult for an ordinary person to search for the latest technology in a high-tech civilization, and it is also not easy to collect the oldest technology.
What Caesar brought yesterday morning was the most likely low-civilization product he could collect on the market.
As for those brought in now, the quantity is two or three times that of yesterday morning.
But in the end, there are very few items that meet the supermarket's requirements and can be exchanged for star coins.
It took more than half an hour to try out hundreds of things.
In the end, only two items met the requirements, and a total of 4000 star coins were exchanged, which was only half of the harvest yesterday morning.
I spent some time documenting the principles of the four new technologies using my mobile phone and taking photos to archive them.
Then they had time to talk about other things.
Jiang Wanwan first clicked on the system page to check it out, and then asked.
"You have a total of star coins in your account now. What do you plan to buy this time?"
As the first person to discover the supermarket, it can be said that Caesar had the best timing, location and people.
In just less than two days, he accumulated a huge sum of 16,000 to 17,000 star coins.
But those who came after him did not have such great convenience. After all, the easy things to fleece had already been fleeced.
After hearing about the huge amount of star coins he had, Caesar felt better because he felt disappointed that only two of the numerous items met the standards.
Instead of answering the question, he asked the same question as the last time he came.
"Have the plants you mentioned arrived yet?"
"Sorry, not yet!" Jiang Wanwan shook her head, then added with a smile: "But this time I can give you an exact time. It should arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"
If the supermarket can be upgraded today, the plants will naturally arrive tomorrow. The reason why 'the day after tomorrow' is added is just for insurance!
Suddenly getting the specific time, and the interval was so short, Caesar widened his eyes in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
"Really!" Jiang Wanwan nodded affirmatively.
Caesar's face lit up with joy, but then he hesitated and asked, "What's the price of the plant..."
A plant that has never existed on the planet and can bring people out of a state of madness must be very expensive, right?
"We can only decide the price after the plants arrive." Jiang Wanwan found an excuse to answer.
Hearing this, Xi Ze's face immediately showed worry.
I wonder if the more than ten thousand star coins in his hand are enough to buy a plant?
Unfortunately, low-tech products from civilizations are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and the amount of star coins that can be earned is naturally decreasing.
However, in order to be able to buy the plants as soon as they arrive, instead of competing with rich people who get the news later.
Caesar must prepare more star coins. It seems he has to think of other ways to earn star coins quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan naturally understood the worries in Xize's heart.
She wanted to comfort Caesar and tell him not to worry about going shopping, but in the end she didn't say it out loud.
After all, before the supermarket set prices, Jiang Wanwan couldn't predict how much the plants would cost.
Although she was very confident that the price of the plants would not exceed ten thousand, or even one thousand.
But what if?
What if the price of the plants is outrageous, and Xize happens to listen to Jiang Wanwan and spends the star coins in his hand? How will the other party look at her then?
"Excuse me, Ms. Jiang, I need twenty... no, just ten buns!" Caesar hesitated for a long time before making a decision.
Jiang Wanwan appeared calm on the surface, waved her hand and took out the buns from the system grid, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
There are still 32 items missing for the supermarket to be upgraded. If ten buns are sold, that means there are still 22 items missing?
I wonder if Ye Yuanbai and the others can make it today? The supermarket won't really have to wait until tomorrow to upgrade, right?
Jiang Wanwan felt that she should try harder, and after thinking for a while, she spoke.
"Oh, right, I haven't told you yet. Besides Level 1000 civilization technology, I can also exchange Energy Stones for Star Coins. One Level Energy Stone can also be exchanged for Star Coins."
This way, there is one more type of exchange. After Caesar uses energy stones to exchange for more star coins, he should be willing to spend money on other things, right?
Unfortunately, Jiang Wanwan's prediction this time was not successful.
Caesar is an ordinary person who is a little short of money.
A whole day of collecting and buying yesterday had used up most of his stored credit points.
Although the remaining credit points in his hand were enough to buy some energy stones, they were resources he reserved for himself to fight the Zerg and could not be used at will.
Xi Ze clearly knew that plants were important, but survival was more important.
If he loses even the resources to fight the Zerg, then he will have no way to survive. What’s the use of getting the plants?
Compared to purchasing energy stones to exchange for star coins, Caesar's attention was focused on other points.
"Level 3 Energy Stones, were they exchanged by the First Legion? Did they also buy things from you?"
Jiang Wanwan didn't quite understand why the topic suddenly turned to the First Legion, but she nodded anyway.
Hearing this, Caesar frowned slightly, but then he remembered something and asked.
"By the way, since Energy Stones can be exchanged for Star Coins, then some basic materials that don't exceed Level 3 civilization should also be exchanged for Star Coins, right?"
Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but think of the Zerg corpses that could not be exchanged for star coins because their level was too high, and asked hesitantly.
"Basic materials? You mean..."
"They're lithium, titanium, chromium, platinum and the like. I'm not too sure about the details, but they should all be within the third-level civilization," Caesar explained.
Are these all listed on the periodic table? They seem quite scarce in some countries.
As a science idiot, Jiang Wanwan couldn't come up with any useful information even after careful consideration.
Forget it, just collect it first!
It would be best if the country has scarce items, as taking them back can boost the national strength. Even if the country does not need them, it is good to be able to quickly upgrade the supermarket.
However, how could ordinary people have these things in their hands, Jiang Wanwan asked curiously.
"You have this thing in your hand? You can give it to me and try it!"
"It's not me, it's a friend of mine. His family runs a small processing plant and has a material printer. I'll find him later and ask him to print some of various materials and bring them over to try."
After Caesar finished explaining, he added, "By the way, can I bring my friends over?"
"Of course!" Jiang Wanwan blinked and nodded suddenly.
Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly, and Xi Ze actually knew to introduce a friend over.
Could it be because of the excitement brought by the previous encounter with the First Legion?
That’s right, since there is already a second, or even more, person who knows about this supermarket on the edge of the battlefield.
Then, this is no longer Caesar’s secret base alone.
Moreover, even if Xize didn't know Ye Yuanbai yet, the resources controlled by Ye Yuanqing, the current head of the First Legion, were beyond his reach.
If he continues to keep the secret and does not seek more allies, when Ye Yuanqing and the others launch an attack, Xize might not even be able to get a bowl of soup.
Sure enough, for anything to develop rapidly, healthy competition is essential.
