Chapter 37: Mel

As for the transaction, with the middle-aged survivor as a lesson, the others didn't dare to play any tricks. Instead, they fell silent, weighing the feasibility of the transaction.

Sally's price increase was something Nick had never expected.

He looked at Sally, who always had a smile on her face, and always felt that he had inadvertently opened a door to a new world for this girl.

"..."

However, Nick didn't stop her. No one would refuse the good thing of being able to trade for multiplied items with the least amount of survival resources.

Moreover, he didn't have a good impression of these survivors. When the middle-aged man tried to morally kidnap and force Sally to submit, these people were silently accepting this rule.

So now, let them honestly accept the rules set by Sally.

Sally didn't urge them, and always had a faint smile on her face, patiently waiting for these survivors to make their final choices.

Similarly, many survivors felt that the cost of the transaction was too high, far less than the value of the traded items, so they turned around and left.

But in the end, there were still survivors who were determined to make the exchange. A survivor wearing armor and a helmet that obscured their face took out two Fire Runes, handed them to Sally, and said.

"These two Fire Runes, you can appraise them... I want to trade for 500ml of pure water. It would be even better if I could exchange for some food."

"Okay."

Sally responded softly. After checking that there were no flaws in the traded items, the smile on her face became more obvious. She handed the 500ml bag of pure water and two bags of instant rice to the survivor.

"..."

"This... is for me?"

This survivor was obviously flattered. He originally thought that he could only trade for 500ml of pure water from Sally, which would last for two days if he saved it. But he didn't expect...

Sally actually gave him two bags of instant rice. He quickly said, "Thank you, and... I'm sorry about what happened just now."

"Just consider it a gift for the first customer."

Sally had a faint smile on her face, and didn't take this matter to heart. When she dealt with the matter just now, she couldn't be as decisive as Nick.

But she didn't think she was any worse than anyone else in using the tactic of hitting with a stick and then giving a sweet date.

After this survivor successfully traded, he left the current area alone. With his departure, many survivors' concerns also left.

Although the cost of the transaction was extremely low...

But they couldn't guarantee whether they could hold on until someone else traded for survival supplies. Now was their only chance.

"Um, hi, I have an extra piece of soft armor here. The defense effect is very good. Can I trade it for some pure water? One bag is enough!"

"I have a Water Rune and a Rune Charging Stone here. How much can I probably trade for?"

Several survivors were unwilling to miss this opportunity and asked one after another. If they wanted to survive in the dungeon world, necessary supplies were indispensable.

Nick watched the transaction gradually get on track. All of this was neatly managed under Sally's care, and he felt somewhat fortunate.

Sally's ability had helped him solve a lot of problems.

And Python, who had been lying prostrate beside Nick, slowly woke up at this time. It gently rubbed its small head against the inside of Nick's thigh, and finally looked at the many bottles of pure water in front of Nick.

Its meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"..."

Nick was somewhat helpless. Fortunately, there was the Rune Water Purifier, otherwise he wouldn't be able to raise this water buffalo.

He took out a bottle of distilled water from the Rune Water Purifier from the box beside him and poured a small half-bowl into Python's plastic bowl. This little guy first looked at Nick affectionately.

Finally, it prostrated itself in front of the plastic bowl like a drunkard, gulping it down.

"..."

But this scene fell into the eyes of the other survivors present, and their hearts were even more mixed. The pure water they traded for with survival resources was probably not as much as Nick's pet drank at one time...

It would be a lie to say that they weren't envious. Even pets could drink water freely, but they could only watch from the side. Many survivors even licked their dry lips and swallowed their saliva uncontrollably.

Sally, who was handling the transaction, occasionally turned her head to see the affectionate behavior between Nick and his pet Python, and her eyes softened a lot.

However, this atmosphere didn't last long. With the appearance of a survivor team not far away, the rare peace in this dungeon world was broken.

With the departure of many survivors, Nick was also able to see the status of that team. It was a small team of 5 people, with women accounting for the majority, and only two men.

When they approached, he could even smell the blood in the air. Moreover, judging from the overall equipment of this team, the strength of this survivor team was definitely not bad!

The leader was a blonde female survivor with a high ponytail, which added a bit of heroism to her delicate facial features.

"..."

The fatigue on the female survivor's face was impossible to hide. Her gaze swept over the many survival resources, and finally, she focused on the Sand Wolf's corpse next to the temporary camp.

A flash of shock appeared in her eyes.

She took the initiative to speak: "Hello, who is the captain of your team? I want to trade some important survival supplies with you..."

Sally frowned slightly. Since the other party had specifically named Nick, she naturally wouldn't steal the show. It was just that a woman's sixth sense told her that this woman in front of her...

Was a bit problematic!!

"It's me, what's up?"

Nick looked at the blonde female survivor in front of him. She was in her early twenties, and the armor she was wearing, although not rune equipment, was among the best of ordinary equipment.

What attracted his attention was the bracer on her arm, with special patterns of runes painted on it. Without even thinking, he knew that it was a piece of rune equipment.

"Hello, my name is Mel, and I am the person in charge of our team. May I ask your name?"

"Nick."

Mel nodded gently after hearing this, as if to firmly remember this name. She continued, "Nick, I want to make a deal with you..."

"This is the reward I can offer."

After Mel finished speaking, she took out a test tube containing a light green liquid from a wooden box. Her expression became much more serious, and she continued.

"Gene Potion. It should be quite important to you, right?"
