Chapter 205: Take It!
Lin Ye hadn’t expected this move from the Black Winged Person. He was truly impressed.
Seeing Lin Ye standing there speechless, the Black Winged Person mistakenly thought he was unwilling to trade four straw mats for the oil fruit.
Lin Ye didn’t want to trade with him, so the Black Winged Person spoke again in a threatening tone, “You said fifty portions of oil fruit for one straw mat. If you don’t trade with me now, I’ll tell everyone you went back on your word!” Lin Ye was already speechless from the Black Winged Person’s showmanship.
Hearing the Black Winged Person’s words, Lin Ye’s scalp tingled.
Although Lin Ye wanted to laugh, he put on an appearance of being at a disadvantage.
He very hesitantly picked up four straw mats from a stack.
Just as he looked at the Black Winged Person, preparing to speak, he heard the Black Winged Person say, “Take it!”
Then, he snatched them from Lin Ye’s hand. “Sigh~!”
Lin Ye feigned a heartbroken sigh.
With his hand behind his back, he signaled the Beast-eared Girls.
He kept beckoning them, “Six, five, zero.”
Shi was the first to react.
He suddenly sat up straight and whispered to Xing and Ganyu beside him, “Quick, Ye wants us to go get the oil fruit.”
Hearing Shi say this, the three Beast-eared Girls simultaneously stood up from the ground and ran towards Lin Ye.
Xing even activated her Talent Ability.
With a whoosh, she dashed ahead.
Then, she grabbed two bags of oil fruit from the ground and ran towards the carriage.
Shi and Ganyu followed closely behind, each carrying a bag and running towards the carriage.
Seeing the anxious Beast-eared Girls, the Black Winged Person felt a little confused.
Just as he took off to return to his area, he saw a group of people carrying things towards the straw mats.
Seeing this scene, he quietly landed again and followed the group without making a sound.
Soon, Lin Ye saw many Beastmen carrying all sorts of things towards him.
At this moment, Lin Ye’s smile was genuine.
When the group of Beastmen arrived in front of Lin Ye, they each held up what they had and shouted that they wanted to trade for straw mats.
The Black Winged Person behind them felt a bit smug, thinking he had gotten a great deal.
Lin Ye saw the Beastmen clamoring to him, one by one, and for a moment, he didn’t know who to trade with first.
So, Lin Ye spread his hands and shouted loudly to the Beastmen in front of him, “Quiet down, everyone! There are many straw mats here! As long as the things you bring are useful to me, everyone can exchange for a straw mat!”
“One by one! Don’t rush, I’ll call your name!”
“You! Come first!”
After Lin Ye finished shouting, he finally stunned the Beastmen.
Then, Lin Ye designated one Beastman to begin the exchange.
The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls behind the carriage, who were inspecting the oil fruit, heard Lin Ye’s shout and poked their heads out from behind the carriage.
Seeing so many Beastmen coming to trade for straw mats, they were overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye was attending to his first official customer. “What are you holding?”
Looking at the handful of black seeds the Beastman was holding, Lin Ye found it somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t be sure what plant’s seeds they were.
After all, there were too many plants with similar-looking seeds.
The Beastman heard him, handed the seeds closer to Lin Ye, and then said, “These are the seeds of a tree that bears a lot of fruit, all of which are edible. This is the core of the fruit. Our tribe discovered that if you throw the core on the ground after eating it, it might grow into a new tree.”
Hearing the Beastman’s description and combined with the appearance of the seeds, Lin Ye thought these might be jujube tree seeds from this world.
Whether they were winter or red jujubes, he couldn’t tell yet.
But no matter what kind of jujube it was, these seeds were valuable.
So, Lin Ye nodded to the Beastman and said, “Okay, how about three straw mats for these seeds?”
The Beastman was holding quite a few seeds. Although they looked relatively large, there were dozens of them in his hand.
The Beastman heard that he could exchange them for three straw mats and quickly nodded excitedly.
A single jujube tree could bear thousands of fruits. These dozens of seeds were not even a fraction of that. He was naturally happy to get three straw mats in return.
Lin Ye took the seeds, placed them on the ground, took out three straw mats, and handed them to the Beastman.
After the Beastman left happily, the first customer was officially served.
Then, Lin Ye began to attend to the second customer.
The Black Winged Person standing at the back was starting to have doubts.
Why did that person just exchange such a small amount of seeds for three straw mats?
But the Black Winged Person then tried to comfort himself.
“The seeds must be very rare, that must be it.”
After comforting himself, he continued to watch Lin Ye and the other Beastmen exchange goods.
For the second Beastman, Lin Ye recognized what he was holding before he even spoke. “I know this thing. One straw mat for it, deal?”
What the Beastman was holding was no longer seeds.
It was two mature white radishes, still with their leaves.
However, they now looked like they had been pulled from the ground several days ago and had wilted.
But they could still be used for a change of taste and to help with digestion.
After the Beastman took a straw mat and walked away with a smile…
At this point, the Black Winged Person standing behind finally understood what was happening. “I’ve spent all day playing with eagles, only to be pecked in the eye by one in the end!”
Realizing he had been tricked, the Black Winged Person muttered, gave Lin Ye a fierce look, and then flew away.
Lin Ye vaguely sensed a malicious gaze, but when he looked, he was blocked by a large number of Beastmen.
He was busy with the exchanges and didn’t look too closely.
Besides those with plants, there were also some Beastmen carrying various other items.
Lin Ye even saw a Beastman holding a large piece of nugget gold to trade.
Lin Ye accepted everything.
As long as it wasn’t something his tribe already had, Lin Ye traded for it.
After all, there were still so many straw mats, and he intended to exchange them all.
There were still a few dozen straw mats left on the ground. Almost all the Beastmen had successfully exchanged for straw mats.
Except for one who had a wooden spear and one who had rock salt.
These two items had already been phased out in their respective tribes.
And one tribe simply didn’t lack them.
After all the Beastmen left contentedly, Lin Ye began to inventory the items he had exchanged for.
Among them, plants and seeds were very few.
Besides the jujube tree seeds, there were also sunflower seeds, but they looked dried out and could no longer be planted.
Later, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls also came to help.
Lin Ye didn’t recognize most of the various ores and other items on the ground.
He only recognized a piece of nugget gold and a piece of diamond rough.
Lin Ye didn’t know their use.
However, perhaps it was the influence of modern thinking. Gold and diamonds are precious items etched into DNA.
There were also primitive society weapons. Stone spears and stone axes, which were a level above wooden spears, were made by adding a sharpened stone to wood.
Lin Ye exchanged for them wanting to study their lethality.
Lin Ye had the Beast-eared Girls move the useless ores and other items onto the carriage first.
Lin Ye began to focus on studying these plants.
He had exchanged for a total of X plants.
What surprised Lin Ye the most was that he had managed to exchange for primitive wild wheat.
This was the most important grain crop. The fruit of wheat is its seed.
The two wheat plants Lin Ye exchanged for already had full ears of grain, indicating that they could be planted upon returning to the tribe.
Besides wheat, there were also some fruits and vegetables, which were things that could no longer be planted.
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Ye took out several potion bottles, packed the seeds into separate bottles, and labeled them.
