Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 557: Taking Precautions

Now, no one would dare to take risks again. Everyone will be diligent in doing their duties in the future.

Ye Xuan looked at the man shedding tears silently and shot some energy that entered his forehead.

"What was that?" Chu Miao, who noticed his actions, asked curiously.

"A restriction to prevent him from talking nonsense after leaving." Ye Xuan replied lightly.

"Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. It is indeed a good idea to avoid unnecessary trouble." Chu Miao agreed as the two began walking towards their building.

Just as they got to the door, a soldier came running towards them.

"Miss Chu, someone is outside looking for you. They have come twice before but you weren’t around. He said his name was Monkey." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chu Miao was enlightened when she heard that name. It was the guy who wanted to trade meat from the community Feng Tu and her family lived in before.

"Okay, thanks. I’ll go see him." Chu Miao replied to the soldier then turned to Ye Xuan.

"I’ll go talk to him. He wants to trade meat, I’ll see what they have to exchange with." She said and walked towards the entrance.

When Chu Miao walked out of the protective array, she found Monkey waiting in what used to be the security guard post outside the community.

She covered herself with spiritual energy to avoid the falling icicles and headed to the security guard post.

"Hello, Miss Chu." Monkey bowed to Chu Miao in greeting as soon as she walked into the post house.

"Hello, Monkey. Hope you have been well." Chu Miao replied lightly.

"I am doing okay. I came to see if you have something to sell." Monkey said with a fawning smile while rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"Of course. Since I promised you, then I will definitely provide meat for you." Chu Miao was amused by how Monkey behaved but she knew that he was a good person. So, she was more casual with him.

"Is it possible to get meat and eggs as you promised before?" Monkey asked tentatively wondering if that condition had expired after so long.

"I have everything you need just as promised. What do you want today?" Chu Miao asked with a reassuring smile.

"If you have meat and vegetables, I will take those first. If there are eggs, give me a few to cook for my children. One of them is very young and can’t eat meat, but he can definitely digest some eggs." Monkey became enthusiastic when he heard that there was meat and vegetables.

In fact, he had only eaten canned meat since the apocalypse and it had become so scarce recently that he had nearly forgotten the taste of meat.

Now that he could buy some, he was overjoyed.

"Alright, what do you have to exchange with and how much do you need?" Chu Miao asked, curiously looking at this man who was obviously a good person, but the apocalypse had forced him into the life of a gangster.

Now, even though he didn’t have much to offer, he was still thinking about how to make his family better and give his children the best.

"I have gold and Jade. There are two kilograms of gold and one kilogram of jade. Since it’s our first transaction, the boss didn’t give me too much and wanted me to test the waters and see how much you can provide. How much meat do you think I can get for that much gold and Jade?" Monkey replied honestly and Chu Miao was surprised by his straightforwardness.

Any other person wouldn’t admit that they were speculating about the authenticity of the deal and were just testing the waters. But Monkey was very honest about it.

This improved Chu Miao’s impression of him and decided to give him something extra.

"How much can you exchange for that much gold and Jade in other markets?" Chu Miao was aware that she wasn’t the only one selling something.

In every situation from ancient times, business has always been inseparable with human existence. It doesn’t matter whether people are doing barter trade or using money. People must exchange things to live comfortably.

No one person could have everything they need in life by themselves. Humans would always have to build relationships with others to facilitate a comfortable life.

In this case, some people wanted meat and vegetables to supplement their diet and improve the health of their bodies while Chu Miao wanted minerals such as jade and gold.

She had plans to go back to the Immortal Realm now and the jewelry on earth was more exquisite than those found in the Immortal Realm.

Also, she needed something to use as currency once the apocalypse ended. Money would be useless at that time and only gold and other metals and minerals would be accepted as a form of exchange.

Leaving such resources for the sect members staying behind on earth to use and integrate into the new world is the best option.

Thus, she needed to make money for the future.

"Well, I haven’t bought meat before. Especially fresh meat that is not available now so I cannot measure the value of the meat you give me with the other things I bought with gold and Jade. But buying a quarter can of canned meat requires a quarter kilogram of gold. It used to be only fifty grams of gold but now that even canned meat is scarce, more gold is needed. As for jade, a quarter of jade can be exchanged for a half kilogram of canned meat. How do you think we should do the exchange now?" Monkey was very honest once again and Chu Miao appreciated that.

"Then I will give you the same price. I am sure fresh meat is more expensive than canned meat. You can set your own price after I give it to you and make some profit for your family." Since Monkey had been so honest, Chu Miao didn’t mind letting him benefit a little.
