At that moment, it was daytime in Mu Qingtang's world. So, as soon as she opened the door to her treasury, she saw a pile of rare treasures inside. There was a coral as tall as a person, a gold-thread and silver-thread embroidered nanmu screen, a pile of shimmering fabrics, and many gold and jade ornaments, including red jadeite.
Mu Qingtang casually opened a box, and she could see various colored gemstones inside. Truly wealthy. Was she the only poor one?
Just as this thought arose, Jinbao suddenly said, [She can exchange all her gold, silver, and jewels for plane coins in the ancient plane, you know.]
"Really? Any gold, silver, or jewels she has can be exchanged for plane coins?" Jiang Yuntan asked, already forming an idea in her mind, but she didn't tell Jinbao.
[Yes, she can exchange her jewels for plane coins. Except for copper coins—gold and silver can be exchanged.]
"Nice. Too bad we can't do that in our plane." Although Jiang Yuntan said this, there was no trace of regret in her eyes.
Mu Qingtang had only looked for a moment before she took out two red jadeite bracelets. The rich red made her skin glow white against her hand. To distinguish them from the Blood Jade Bracelet Uncle Shen had given her, Jiang Yuntan decided to call the bracelets in Mu Qingtang's hands red jadeite bracelets.
"Yes, they really are similar to the bracelet I just had." Jiang Yuntan got straight to the point. "Can you trade one of them with me? By the way, what do you want in return?"
Mu Qingtang looked at the two bracelets in her hand, then pushed the bracelet on her right hand forward. "This one is more like yours. I'll give you this one."
As she spoke, she had already transferred the bracelet over.
Jiang Yuntan was stunned when she saw the bracelet on the transfer page, which Mu Qingtang had already confirmed. The other party had confirmed, meaning she could put any item on it and complete the trade with Mu Qingtang.
She quickly asked, "Is there anything you want?"
"Just give me something random. It's not like I lack these bracelets." Mu Qingtang's tone was languid, as if she weren't giving away a priceless bracelet.
Jiang Yuntan inwardly beat her chest and stamped her feet. So this was what it was like to have the confidence of wealth? When would she ever be able to say something like that? But she definitely wouldn't say that—after all, who would dislike having too much money?
Jiang Yuntan insisted, "Why don't you tell me what you want? Maybe I actually have it."
Mu Qingtang looked at her with some surprise. "You're the first trader I've met who's so honest. Usually, when I say that, they're eager to pick up a random stone from the ground and give it to me. Originally, I saw that we hit it off, so I wasn't going to take anything from you. Since you're so sincere, I do have one thing I'd like your help with."
"In half a month, it will be my brother's coming-of-age ceremony. As the heir of the prince's manor, he doesn't lack good things. So I want to find something novel to give him."
After hearing that, Jiang Yuntan suddenly remembered something. "Wait a moment. Maybe I actually have what you want."
With that, she turned and took a black box with gold foil stamping from the table and sent it over. Inside were a men's wristwatch and a lighter. Originally, the former owner had bought them as a gift for Shen Hegui, not as a holiday gift. She simply wanted to curry favor with Shen Hegui and hope he would treat her better. So, these two items cost the former owner about five million. Boohoo, so rich—what couldn't she do with that five million? But now, Shen Hegui's watch seemed to be worth over ten million.
After she put the items up, the trade between them was completed, and Jiang Yuntan quickly obtained the red jadeite bracelet. Indeed, unless someone had carefully examined the Blood Jade Bracelet, they wouldn't see the difference between it and the red jadeite bracelet.
Seeing that Mu Qingtang had already received the watch and lighter, she explained how to use them.
After listening, Mu Qingtang suddenly understood. "This way, it's much more convenient to tell time. My brother often goes out on official business. These two things will be very useful to him. Thank you."
"This watch is exquisitely crafted, and the lighter you mentioned is like our fire striker, but it seems easier to use. These two items must be very valuable."
Five million—yes, they were quite valuable.
Jiang Yuntan smiled. "The bracelet you traded with me is also quite valuable. I wouldn't want you to be at a disadvantage."
Mu Qingtang looked at the two items in her hand again and asked, "Do you have more of these two things? I'd like to trade for more. I still have so many things in my treasury. See if there's anything else you want."
Hearing these words, Jiang Yuntan's mind was filled with images of ancient delicacies. Without hesitation, she said, "I can find more of these two items for you, but the craftsmanship might not be as exquisite as these two. After all, these were carefully selected by me. But I can guarantee that the ones I give you will have the same functions."
"As long as they have the same functions, that's fine." Mu Qingtang replied.
Jiang Yuntan nodded. "I'm quite interested in ancient cuisine and pastries. Can you prepare some food for me? More servings and more varieties would be great." After all, she had now upgraded to a first-level plane merchant, and her warehouse space had expanded to ten cubic meters, which could hold quite a bit.
"Of course." Mu Qingtang agreed without a second thought.
"Let's leave it at that. It's getting late here, so I'll rest now." Jiang Yuntan continued, "Once I find more watches and lighters, I'll contact you."
"Okay."
After ending the Video Call with her, Jiang Yuntan did a quick wash-up and then lay on the bed like a boneless lump. Even though it was only the first day she had arrived in the apocalypse, she felt as if she had been here for a long time. The place they were in was the highest floor of the hotel, so they didn't have to worry about zombies breaking through the windows for now.
Jiang Yuntan told Jinbao to keep an eye on the situation at night and to remind her if there was any danger.
[You sure are not polite with me,] Jinbao said.
"If I get eaten by zombies, you'll have no host," Jiang Yuntan said with righteous indignation.
[Just go to sleep already.] Jinbao said impatiently.
"Got it." Jiang Yuntan didn't blush at all about 'enslaving' Jinbao.
