Shaan was inherently smart, he got the gist of everything.
'That zombie crystal seems special, maybe I can use it too.'
He hesitantly opened his mouth.
"I have a piece of food with , can you give one zombie crystal in exchange for it."
He spoke cautiously.
Hearing his sudden words everyone was shocked...you know the value of food is much more than zombie crystals, sure the forr can make you strong but it can't permanently replace normal food.
The entire team was full of delight.
"Oh, okay....but first show what sort of food item you have?"
Sabrina, being the leader of the team, was the first to reply.
Hearing an affirmative response, Shaan put his hands inside his robes, and from an inner pocket, he took out a big piece of bread.
This was probably the last ration left with him.
Seeing such a big loaf of bread, everyone's eyes widened.
They expected Shaan to take out so packaged or canned food which probably would have long expired, but the fragrance of bread, even from afar, was too fresh.
All the team mbers looked at each other with cunning eyes.
"Brother, where did you find this piece of bread?"
"Aren't such things only available in those big-elite shelters?"
Leona spoke enthusiastically.
Shaan knew he must downplay the situation, otherwise he may suffer, he replied almost as if reflex.
"Dear Senior Sister, a day ago, on the outskirts of the city, I t a kind-hearted man, seeing so skinny and on the verge of death, he took pity and threw two pieces of bread towards . After that, he disappeared saying he had other things to do."
"I was too hungry that ti, as a result, I instantly ate one piece, and now only this piece of bread is left."
Shaan replied like an obedient child.
"Oh, you got this from begging and here I thought you found so old warehouse that can process bread", Mark spoke in a dejected tone.
"It's okay, it's been a while since we tasted such a high-quality product, I agree to exchange one piece of Zombie crystal for this bread."
-Sabrina's words were full of montum
'What a fool, fresh food products like this can be exchanged for at least 10 first-grade zombie crystals at various shelters.'
'Moreover, people like us can easily obtain such crystals every day. The only reason we consu them so agrely is because we lack the food to satiate the hunger produced as side effect.'
-Sabrina along with others secretly sneered.
All of them thought they made a bloody profit.
Alice hurriedly exchanged the crystal for bread fearing Shaan might repent later.
"I still remind you to cut this zombie crystal into various small parts and eat it slowly over ti, otherwise your body might tragically die because of excessive hunger."
"If you can find anything similar, you can co to us, we will be making a temporary camp at the center of this city."
Sabrina spoke the last few words of goodwill before departing.
Shaan also politely thanked the other party and ran away.
After running a few ters and making sure he was not followed, Shaan hid in an abandoned building.
"The first trip was very fruitful. I think I should now go back and make sufficient preparations before coming back."
Shaan thought about his gains before communicating with the Lotus Petal suspended in his consciousness.
After a few seconds, his body disappeared.
After so ti when he disappeared, loud voices could be heard from outside.
"Are you sure he is staying in this old building?"
Sabrina asked Luther.
"Yes, leader! I clearly saw him entering here a few minutes ago", Luther replied obediently.
"Okay, go in and take out all his supplies, after assessing our gains we will decide how to deal with this boy nad Shaan!"
Sabrina spoke leisurely.
"Leader, you are too smart, I was wondering why you didn't order us to rob and interrogate him on the spot! I don't believe this stinky boy only has one piece of bread!"
"He must have hoarded a lot of similar stuff from God knows where!"
Leona laughed out aloud.
"Yeah, our leader is the wisest! After getting his supplies let's kill him, I always have a strong intuition that this Shaan is not that simple!"
Mark replied as if he already knew everything.
But today, they were destined to return empty-handed.
Soon Alice and Luther hurriedly ran back.
Both of their faces were ugly.
"Sister Sabrina there is no one inside, there is nothing!"
Alice spoke timidly.
Hearing her words, Sabrina's eyes beca deep.
.....
On the other side, Shaan after returning to his cultivation cave took a deep breath.
"If I am not wrong, those people thinking of as so naive boy must have already ransacked the place from where I teleported."
Although Sabrina and her entire team talked to him in a tone full of sincerity and politeness, Shaan never let his guard down.
This was the biggest catch! How can soone be good and kind to others without a reason?
Especially when you are living in a post-apocalyptic world where all supplies are scarce.
If the other party is talking so humbly to you then either you must have a valuable thing or sothing even more special, otherwise, there is no need for such sweet talk.
"It's a pity, the original body learned neither any martial arts nor any cultivation technique."
"Heck! This original person whose body I inherited was not even an official outer sect disciple, he was just a re handyman disciple that could only do so daily chores."
"If I rember clearly, all people who join the sect have a chance to choose a free cultivation technique and a set of martial arts!"
"Let's go to the warehouse and use this privilege!"
"After all, if even after coming to the cultivation world one doesn't try to pursue immortality, it will be a sha on the na of a tranmigrator."
After sorting his thoughts, Shaan left for the sect's warehouse.
