Now, anyone who saw this man would think that he was rich! If it were not for the fact that he was rich, he would not have become so fat. The short and fat man was not angry at Du Yue’s constant scrutiny. On the contrary, he was very happy. The man raised his eyebrows at Du Yue. “Beauty, just tell me what food you want. I can buy it for you.”
Du Yue glanced at him. “Why would you buy food for me?”
The short and fat man took two steps closer to Du Yue. “I felt very close to you the moment I saw you. I think we should be friends. What do you think?”

“Why not? Look at you. You were originally a great beauty. It’s probably because you can’t eat your fill that you’re so skinny. You can’t even stand the wind. My heart aches when I see you! Look at me carefully. Who in this base has my body?
“This is all from white rice! As long as you’re with me, you can eat whatever you want in the future. I don’t even blink when I buy these exquisite grains!” The man patted his belly, obviously very satisfied with his body shape. At the end of his sentence, he even straightened his back and puffed out his chest.
Du Yue looked at him and felt that he was revolting. Du Yue felt disgusted by such an inexplicably confident man. She looked away. “No need.”
She did not lack food, but she would never let herself eat to this state. Being able to eat in the apocalypse was indeed a testament to one’s ability, but maintaining a good posture and a strong body was equally important. If this fat man really encountered any danger, he probably would not be able to run.
At that time, he would no longer be smug about his fatness. He would only regret it.
Du Yue ignored him. Although the man was a little unhappy, he did not pester her. Instead, he turned around and went to look for the other women in the shop. Seeing this, Du Yue withdrew her gaze from him and looked at the woman standing at the counter. “What kind of seeds do you have here? What do you use to exchange for seeds?”
“Right now, there arc only sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. You can exchange them for food or gold.
“If you want to exchange them with food, I’ll have to see if your food is good or bad before I can know the exchange ratio. If you use gold, 50 grams of gold can be exchanged for a catty of seeds.”
Previously when buying the villa, they charged gold. Now, they were even charging gold for seeds. It seemed that this was not a coincidence. The fourth base was indeed collecting gold.
Du Yue understood but did not show it. Instead, she asked her another question. “I see that you also sell food here, right? Then what do you exchange for food?”
It could not really be as Xia Ju said, exchanging one kind of grain for another kind of grain, right?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s the same as buying seeds.” The woman seemed a little impatient. “Most people are reluctant to cat exquisite rice and noodles, so they’ll exchange it for coarse grains. According to the quality of the grain, we can determine how much we can exchange for it. Other than food, gold can also be used to buy food. As for those who don’t have these things, they won’t think of buying food. All they think about every day is where to go to earn some food.”
Her only doubt had been answered, so Du Yue did not delay any longer.
“Give me a catty of each of these three seeds.” When the woman standing behind the counter heard this, her tone remained indifferent. “How will you pay?”
When Du Yue came, she only carried a canvas bag. Under the watchful eyes of the people in the Seed Station, she could not take out three catties of grains directly from here. She could only say to Xia Ju, “Wait for me. I’ll go out and get some food.”
Xia Ju nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”
Du Yue turned around and walked out. At the same time, she was puzzled. He Xing did not come in with them just now and said that he was going to park the car. What was taking him so long?
After walking out of the Seed Station, Du Yue looked around and saw He Xing at a glance. He Xing was standing next to the off-road vehicle with a few people around him. Even from a distance, Du Yue could feel that He Xing was in a stalemate with that group of people. Du Yue quickly walked over. “What happened?”
He Xing glanced at them indifferently. “It’s fine. They said that we have to pay them for parking the car here.”
This was the apocalypse, and there were still people collecting parking fees? Du Yue looked at those people without hesitation, and those people also looked at Du Yue..
