Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 159 Doomsday World 11

Shen Yimin was a little unsure at this moment. Plant growth inhibitors would be in high demand at any base, so the price would be easy to negotiate, and the other party might even be willing to accept any high demands he made.

But the woman in front of him seemed to have little interest in plant growth inhibitors, but instead showed great enthusiasm for his pre-apocalyptic research results.

This put Shen Yimin in a bit of a predicament; he was unsure how to ask for farm tools in exchange.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yimin cautiously said, "I originally planned to use this tube of plant growth inhibitor to exchange for some commonly used farm tools, such as hoes and shovels, about ten of each kind."

Ten of each kind? That's not a bad requirement.

Although Lin Xiaoqian wanted the growth agent in his hand more.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but a commotion arose outside the restaurant.

It turned out that Liao Zhuang had brought the people from the Hope Base back.

Right now, the people at Hope Base should be unloading the collected plants and other items from the aircraft.

This time it was much more lively than before, and you could hear Boss Huang calling her from afar.

Lin Xiaoqian asked Shen Yimin and the other person to wait a moment, then got up and left the restaurant. Jiang Shuang, who had been sitting at the restaurant entrance looking at the shelves, was now watching the excitement from the aircraft.

With a beaming smile, Boss Huang directed the people at the base to lift down a large rattan cage.

There was a wild beast in the cage, which looked like a horse, with a white body, a black tail, and a horn on its head.

"What is this? A unicorn?" Lin Xiaoqian asked.

Boss Huang turned his head and saw Lin Xiaoqian, and immediately burst into laughter: "You can call it a unicorn if you want."

Lin Xiaoqian looked at the 'unicorn' in front of her, which had tiger-like teeth and claws, and shook her head. It was quite different from the unicorn she had imagined.

Liao Zhuang got off the aircraft, and on his way to pick up the person, he already knew what it was.

"This thing is called a Bo (pronounced with a second tone), or Bo Ma. It's very powerful; it can eat tigers and leopards."

Upon hearing Liao Zhuang's words, Lin Xiaoqian recalled that this creature was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Besides being recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it also appears in the dialogue between Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong in the "Xiao Wen" chapter of Guanzi.

The story goes that Duke Huan of Qi was traveling on horseback when he encountered a tiger. Strangely, the tiger did not pounce on him but instead lay down on the ground, too afraid to move.

Duke Huan of Qi was very surprised and asked Guan Zhong why. Guan Zhong replied that Duke Huan of Qi rode a horse that resembled a pheasant, and pheasants eat tigers and leopards, so tigers were afraid of it and dared not move.

Lin Xiaoqian was quite surprised; he hadn't expected that Hope Base would actually manage to bring over such a wild beast.

Hearing Lin Xiaoqian's question, Boss Huang chuckled and explained, "It's quite a coincidence. We have a skilled horse breeder at our base who went hunting yesterday and happened to come across this pheasant, so he brought it back. As you know, we all live in trees, and we can't keep this thing, so we decided to bring it over to exchange for some supplies."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded, carefully observing the pheasant; it did indeed look very much like a horse.

However, judging from the book's description, it ate tigers and leopards, so it must have been a carnivorous animal. Therefore, it took a piece of meat that was originally prepared for Fei Fei and threw it in front of the horse.

The horse was carried over in a cage, lying down with a somewhat disgusted expression. But when it smelled the fresh beef near its mouth, it surprisingly ate it.

Lin Xiaoqian was very happy to see this. As long as they could eat, they could be fed.

Feifei, who was originally lying in a huge cat bed by the door sunbathing, saw Lin Xiaoqian circling around a newcomer and even giving his own meat to that big guy. Feeling a little jealous, he ran over and circled around Lin Xiaoqian's legs.

Lin Xiaoqian patted it reassuringly, while Shen Yimin and Liu Zi, who were looking over from the restaurant entrance, were dumbfounded.

The middle-aged man who was talking to Lin Xiaoqian was also known to Shen Yimin and Liu Zi. He was the leader of a base with several hundred people, surnamed Huang, and was known as Boss Huang.

All I heard was Boss Huang saying that he wanted to do a big deal with Lin Xiaoqian.

And those people at the entrance, they must all be from Boss Huang's base. They went into the 'supermarket' very familiarly to pick out things, and then carried them directly onto the aircraft. This action was obviously not the first time.

Shen Yimin was getting restless. It turned out that everything at the entrance could be exchanged and chosen at will. It seemed that the man surnamed Huang wanted to exchange for one of those flying machines. Judging from Miss Lin's words, he didn't seem to refuse, but rather they were discussing the terms of the exchange.

Shen Yimin grew increasingly uneasy, realizing that the plant growth inhibitor in his hand might not be as attractive as he thought.

After a while, Lin Xiaoqian and Boss Huang agreed on the terms for exchanging the aircraft, and then Lin Xiaoqian turned and walked towards the restaurant entrance.

Seeing the complicated expressions on Shen Yimin and Liu Zi's faces, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's continue discussing the deal. I'll be frank: I want all the research results and data on your growth agent. I can give you a hundred of each type of farm implement, as well as a few tractors and other agricultural machinery. However, you'll have to figure out how to run out of gasoline yourself."

Shen Yimin was shocked. The terms of the deal far exceeded his expectations. He had thought that his plant growth inhibitor could at most be exchanged for some ordinary farm tools, but he did not expect Lin Xiaoqian to be so generous.

The data on the growth agent was the culmination of his years of hard work. Although he was somewhat reluctant to hand it over, he could still tell what was more important.

After only a few seconds of thought, Shen Yimin agreed.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded and asked where the data was. He wasn't surprised to learn it was at the base. He just said he'd have someone take him back in a flying vehicle to get it, since flying vehicles are very fast anyway.

Speaking of aircraft, Shen Yimin was also a little itchy. Since Boss Huang's base only had a few hundred people, he had the idea of ​​exchanging aircraft with Miss Lin.

It would be a bit unreasonable for such a large base with nearly 20,000 people not to have aircraft.

Lin Xiaoqian wasn't surprised to hear that Shen Yimin also wanted to exchange for a flying machine. He briefly explained the exchange conditions, which were nothing more than collecting plants and animals from this world.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoqian naturally asked the same question from before: "Does your base have a lot of people? More people will make collecting things faster."

Shen Yimin looked outside at the people at Hope Base who were happily selecting items.

Are there many people at their base? Of course, there are many more, far more than at Hope Base.

The required supplies will be even greater!

Their base also really wants the clothes, flashlights, alcohol, medicine, and other items displayed on the shelves outside!
