Chapter 392: Chapter 391: Revival Wave

Zhou Muxi inexplicably felt a wonderful sense of having taken a big advantage from a rich landlord, akin to having fleeced a capitalist, which made her uncontrollably happy.

But this time, Zhou Muxi wouldn’t think about compensating Zhang Yanhang anymore. She felt the extra increase of Yin Qi should compensate for the way Zhang Yanhang had inexplicably disrupted her absorption of Yin Qi.

Although she still absorbed all the Yin Qi without any loss, being disturbed was a fact that wouldn’t change with the result, so she felt entirely justified in taking the compensation.

To be honest, up until now, Zhou Muxi still couldn’t understand why Zhang Yanhang had suddenly touched her foot, but whether she understood this didn’t really matter. What mattered was the growth in her strength, for only with sufficient strength could she survive better in the upcoming massive revival wave.

Therefore, with consideration for increasing her power, Zhou Muxi couldn’t help but focus on the handful of sunflower seeds in Zhang Yanhang’s hand.

Initially, Zhou Muxi thought they were just ordinary seeds, but when Zhang Yanhang cracked one open, she suddenly felt a distinct Yang Qi, and she realized that these must be the siblings of the mutated sunflower seeds.

Although these were poorly mutated due to absorbing less energy, they were still genuine Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, so Zhou Muxi really wanted them.

Besides, even though a single seed contained only a little Yang Qi, a whole handful added up to a considerable amount. Therefore, once Zhou Muxi realized the true nature of these seeds, she was immediately tempted.

Also, she once again experienced what being the Ultimate Seal meant: casually snacking on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which was incredibly enviable.

Luckily, she had now made friends with this Ultimate Seal, and Zhou Muxi felt assured that she wouldn’t be short of such treasures in the future, provided she could offer something satisfactory in exchange.

Regarding this, Zhou Muxi was clear—friends were friends, but it was unlikely he would just give her Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for nothing, especially since their relationship wasn’t that of best friends yet; they had only just met.

"Can I buy that handful of seeds you have there?" Zhou Muxi bluntly voiced her needs.

"I can, sure, but do you have anything else you can trade?"

Zhang Yanhang was merely bored and thought to kill some time by eating some seeds, but since Zhou Muxi was interested in them, he was naturally willing to trade them for something useful to himself, especially since there were many other ways to pass the time, like practicing the Limitless Universe Skill, playing with his phone, or sleeping...

"Actually, I still have two of those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can increase the stamina limit, if you still need them, I could trade these two for that handful of seeds." Zhou Muxi looked at Zhang Yanhang expectantly.

"It’s not out of the question, but I want three."

Since he had already eaten one of those lychee-shaped treasures and knew their specific enhancement level, Zhang Yanhang felt their effect of only increasing the stamina limit by 1%-2% was a bit low. Trading two for a handful of seeds, although acceptable, did feel a bit inadequate.

After all, stamina-increasing treasures were the most common and thus the least valuable type, whereas the seeds that could enhance Yang Qi were relatively rare and consequently more valuable.

"But I only had three of these treasures stored here on behalf of my roommate, and I’ve already given you one, leaving only the last two."

While saying this, Zhou Muxi pulled out two lychee-shaped treasures from her eyes, identical to the one Zhang Yanhang had just eaten. Knowing this could easily be rejected, Zhou Muxi started thinking about what else she could offer to fill this gap.

"Well, alright, I agree. Since there are only two left, that really can’t be helped."

Zhang Yanhang, seeing the way Zhou Muxi acted, didn’t think she was lying. Moreover, such a trivial matter hardly seemed worth lying about, so he readily agreed.

Having more was better than having none, even though he had only raised the price as an initial bargaining tactic, and since she really couldn’t provide more.

"Really? You disagree.... Wait, you agreed?"

Zhou Muxi was originally thinking about asking him to give her a few days to find more stamina-increasing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or artifacts to settle the account, or maybe she would offer something else to complete the trade. But unexpectedly, she didn’t need any of her prepared arguments because he had agreed right away.

"Yes, I agreed."

Zhang Yanhang nodded and then took the two lychee-shaped treasures from Zhou Muxi’s hand and placed the handful of seeds into her palm.

Just as Zhang Yanhang was about to eat the two lychee-shaped treasures, he suddenly noticed that Zhou Muxi was staring at him, or more precisely, at his right hand, where he was holding a seed kernel he had just cracked with his teeth but hadn’t managed to eat due to their conversation.

"Is there something you need?"

Feeling a bit odd from Zhou Muxi’s gaze, Zhang Yanhang finally couldn’t help but ask.

"Could you give me that seed in your hand too?"

The reason Zhou Muxi had suddenly opened her dialogue with Zhang Yanhang was to prevent him from eating the seed, but although she had received the other seeds, that particular cracked one remained in Zhang Yanhang’s hand.

Missing just one seed, when she had already paid for the whole handful, felt extremely irritating—after all, since she had already paid for all the seeds, why should there be any less than agreed?

"Are you sure?"

Zhang Yanhang looked at Zhou Muxi with surprise, not understanding why she was suddenly fussing over this individual seed kernel when she had received the whole bunch.

"I’m very sure."

As a customer, Zhou Muxi felt she naturally had the right to question any discrepancy in the quantity of the goods.
