He Ange agreed with Sun Ming’s words. Supplies were inherently limited, and whoever could get them first was the most important.

He Ange pretended to be casual and asked, “Have you decided on a day to go out?”

Sun Ming was very polite and gave him a full glass of wine first. “In just these 2 days, I think we have almost adapted to the winter. In addition, we just bought a batch of supplies from you. I’ll take this opportunity to go out.”

He Ange grabbed the wine glass and looked at it for a while, while Sun Ming went to pick up his food.

He Ange drank a glass of wine for a long time. When Sun Ming saw him like this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Just like that, they had enough wine and food, and the two of them parted like very good friends, saying polite words and hoping to get together again next time.

After He Ange returned, he began to think about Sun Ming’s words. In his understanding, the area near Longjiao City was his territory, and it was natural that he should collect the resources in this area first.

But recently, everyone on the team ignored him. Thinking of this, He Ange spat. It was those guys who abandoned their teammates, so why did they still think he was unkind in the end?

Why were those so-called family members looking for him? If they die, they die. If he hadn’t established the city-state, they would have died elsewhere.

However, even if those members go with him, he has patrolling NPCs. These combat-capable NPCs obey his command unconditionally.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have any teammates, as long as he can command the NPCs to fight for him.

On the other hand, Sun Ming returned to the base of his Red Wolf team with the purchased supplies. In the room, his teammates were playing cards at several tables. They didn’t go out to clear the field, so they only had some entertainment.

“The boss is back.” someone shouted.

Other teammates stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet him.

“After I bought the things, he pretended to sell them to me at a low price.” Sun Ming took out all the supplies he bought and piled them in the house.

The charming woman who had been following Sun Ming saw the piled supplies and smiled at first, but then she thought of the thousand-tempered fruits given to He Ange, and her smile faded away.

“Thanks to him, such a small thing costs one thousand tempered fruits. I asked the people over there, and the purchase price of the tempered fruits by the city lord there are 8 silver coins. Their private transaction price is even more expensive.”

They had to spend time killing several brown iron-level wild monsters to get it for 8 silver coins, but the tempered fruit they could easily pick now was worth the price.

Sun Ming stepped forward and hugged the woman’s waist, “Don’t be angry. I told you today that I would go out to clear the wilderness. He must be greedy because he feels that the surroundings belong to him. Then you can see… …”

Then the woman became happy and stroked his chest with her slender and soft hands, “Brother Sun, you’re still the one who can think well. If that brat dares to ask for so many benefits, he should think about the consequences of whether he can eat them.”

Sun Ming patted the woman on the shoulder and said to another team member: “Sell these things over there at the triple price. Do you understand?”

The person who was ordered nodded, “I understand, boss.”

Last time, the deputy captain told the old lady that something was going to happen in the city recently, and many ordinary residents came to him to ask for help. They had no clothes or props, and the weather was too cold and unbearable.

Yao Bingan received an email that day. She was buying equipment in Xuantian City and wanted to sell it to him at the original price. Needless to say, he knew how low prices were in Xuantian City.

[Thank you! I will buy the supplies from you first, then I will sell them to other residents at the original price.]

[Yao Bingan: It’s okay, as long as you sell things to them.]

The deputy captain simply gave 15 silver coins to Yao Bingan as purchase money.

Yao Bingan was not polite to him. After receiving the money, she began to calculate the price of the supplies in her hand. She calculated the price until it reached 15 silver coins and then emailed it to him.

The deputy captain received brand-new clothes and a heating stove, including medicine, which can relieve the negative status of “typhoid fever”.

Xuantian City has just launched this potion recently. It was to prevent people from getting sick in this cold weather, so they made the potion in advance.

After receiving the supplies, the vice-captain decided to contact his teammates with whom he had a good relationship first. They acted separately and sold the items. Although it was not a rescue in the traditional sense without asking for anything in return, it was still a sign of good deeds.

The teammates there knew that he had obtained the materials sold by Yao Bingan, so they called her savior.

Although their relationship with ordinary residents was not very harmonious at present, at a time of life and death, some people were about to die, they wanted to help if they could.

The old lady and her family stayed in the bedroom given a heating stove by the deputy captain and did not go out to eat or sleep.

Xiao Chen’s wife was coaxing a crying child. Since her husband’s death, the child seems to have sensed something and often cries for no reason.

*Dong dong dong——*

There was a knock on the door outside. The old lady pressed down her daughter-in-law who was about to get up and whispered: “I’ll go.”

She walked to the door trembling and asked in a low voice: “Who is it?”

A familiar voice came from outside the door: “It’s me.”

It turned out to be the deputy captain. The old lady hurriedly opened the door and said, “Why are you here?”

After the deputy captain came in, he helped close the door. “I contacted a friend I knew before. They lived very well in other city-states. After I told them about the situation here, she sold the supplies to me at the original price. I want to sell it to you, but I don’t have much, so I can only sell you just enough to use it.”

While speaking, he took out three sets of down jackets for adults, one in child size, and a stove that was larger than the heater he had given before.

The old lady took the clothes with trembling hands, not only because the living room was too cold now, but also because she was too excited.

“This… don’t worry, we won’t make it difficult for you. We’ll buy it for the price.”

His son was a professional player and saved a lot of money. She has several silver coins on her.

“These add up to a total of 5 silver coins. The clothes have good thermal properties, so the price is a bit high. There are also a few bottles of medicine here. If you contract typhoid fever in the future, you can drink this to cure it. This bottle is not expensive, 35 copper coins.”

This kind of potion that can solve a negative state was not expensive in Xuantian City.

“Vice Captain, I know you want to help, but is the price this low?”

She still remembered that when her son was not in the accident, the clothes with thermal properties in the store, but the winter clothes with +10℃ cost 2 silver coins.

She looked at the clothes in her hand. They were winter clothes with a temperature of +30 degrees Celsius. The total of four pieces only cost 5 silver coins.

“Old lady, these things are sold in Xuantian City, Jinjiang District, where prices are low. Your son went there last time, so he should have mentioned it to you.”

After his reminder, the old lady remembered, “Yes, Xiao Chen said that. At that time, he also said that he would stay here during the winter and take our family there to live there in the spring.”

How would she know that her son would die after staying here?

Seeing the old man shedding tears silently, the vice-captain was filled with emotion and just handed the things to her, “Let’s get through the winter first, your grandson is still young.”

The old lady wiped away her tears, took out the money, and handed it to the deputy captain.

He saw that he was given an extra silver coin, so he took it out and returned it: “The child is still young, and there will be many places to spend in the future. And I’m not short of it.”

The old lady didn’t insist and kept the money.
