Chapter 339 Selling Information?

One after another, many people were here to profit from information asymmetry.

Walking further ahead, the crowd gradually thickened, and stalls appeared on both sides.

Some were selling maps, others were shouting about procurement services, and a man in a tank top was sitting directly on a stone by the roadside with a handwritten sign in front of him that read: "Team up to explore the outer buffer zone, need one output-type Talent, compensation negotiable."

Just then, a figure hurried over from the side.

It was a young woman, looking to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with shoulder-length short hair and above-average looks.

However, she certainly couldn't compare to the women behind Chen Yu.

She stopped a few steps away from Chen Yu, slightly raising her hands in a "I mean no harm" gesture.

"Friend, you just entered the Living Area, right?"

Chen Yu didn't stop, only turning his head to glance at her: "Get to the point, I'm not buying goods."

"I can tell you're a straightforward person! Bringing so many beauties with you!"

The short-haired girl smiled, her footsteps naturally shifting to the side as she spoke in a low voice: "But I'm not selling goods; I'm selling information."

"Selling information?"

Chen Yu stopped walking: "What kind of information?"

The short-haired girl spoke earnestly: "I know you just arrived, and you must be feeling uneasy about those two curfew rules—the sixth and seventh ones are so vaguely worded."

She spoke a bit faster: "I know someone who, after the curfew yesterday... managed to film something near that abandoned bus stop in the west of the city. Do you want to see it?"

Wang Mengmeng couldn't help but interject: "You said Brother Yu was straightforward, so why don't you be straightforward yourself? What did they film?"

The short-haired girl smiled slightly: "Your name is Chen Yu, right? I'm Hao Ling, from the Mingying Team in Jiangzhou. We arrived at the Living Area yesterday morning; we're among the first batch!"

Seeing her dancing around the subject and refusing to get to the point, Wang Mengmeng stomped her feet in frustration: "Just tell us! What did you film? What's the point of constantly introducing yourself?"

"Mengmeng."

Zhang Wanyue slightly raised her hand: "Shh."

Hao Ling shrugged: "It's not that I can't show you the pictures, but information is something exchanged for one's life..."

She rubbed her fingers together: "You have to give us some compensation, right?"

Chen Yu's expression remained calm: "Name your price."

She held up three fingers: "800 units of Wood, 800 units of iron blocks, plus 10 low-energy Energy Cores."

"No problem."

Chen Yu barely considered it.

Hao Ling's smile froze for a moment, her mouth twitching as she muttered under her breath: "Damn, I quoted too low!"

She quickly adjusted herself and cleared her throat: "Straightforward. But I have to be clear: I need to go back and report this. You guys go into the city and find a place to stay first, and I'll organize the pictures and send them to you. It'll be in your chat box within an hour!"

"?"

Chen Yu frowned: "Isn't it just a picture? Can't you just send it to me directly?"

"No, no, these supplies have to be turned in; they need to be kept as a record..."

Hao Ling waved her hands repeatedly.

"..."

Wang Mengmeng said from behind: "800 Wood, 800 iron blocks, plus 10 Energy Cores, and we have to wait to buy a few pictures?"

Chen Yu said calmly: "Fine, but I hope you know that the consequences of deceiving me are usually not very good."

Hao Ling's expression tightened: "I... I'm certainly not deceiving you..."

As she spoke, she began scrolling through her interface.

"Chen..."

"Yu..."

"Which city are you from? There are too many Chen Yus!"

Chen Yu replied calmly: "Haicheng Film Academy."

"Oh."

"No wonder."

Hao Ling glanced at the women behind Chen Yu, their superior figures, extremely high attractiveness, and out-of-place aura.

She suddenly understood something.

A few seconds later...

A new message appeared in Chen Yu's private messages.

[Hao Ling (Jiangzhou_Mingying Team): I'll send it to you on time in an hour! Hand over the supplies first, no problem, right?]

Chen Yu nodded and chose to accept the trade request.

Immediately after, the Wood, iron blocks, and Energy Cores were traded away.

However, Chen Yu didn't feel any heartache.

Seeing that the supplies had arrived, Hao Ling said goodbye and disappeared into the crowd.

Zhang Wanyue whispered: "Chen Yu, she just left like that. Do you think this is reliable?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "Better to believe it's true than to believe it's not."

Zhang Wanyue nodded: "Hmm, we're not short on those construction materials anyway."

Wang Mengmeng muttered: "Then if she leaves and doesn't send it, are we just going to swallow this loss?"

Zhang Wanyue smiled: "Mengmeng, don't overthink it. When has your Brother Yu ever suffered a loss?"

"That's true..."

Wang Mengmeng processed this for a moment.

All along, he seemed to be the type to make a fortune quietly.

Chen Yu led the women and continued walking into the New Capital.

Once they truly walked in, everyone could personally feel the scale of this city.

Compared to it, Binhai City felt like the difference between a town market and a first-tier city.

The main road was wide and smooth, with four lanes in both directions, but there were no cars.

The sidewalks on both sides were paved with light-colored bricks, and looking further ahead, high-rise buildings stood in rows, with Glass curtain walls connecting from top to bottom, reflecting the shadows of the clouds.

"Look over there."

Yang Kexin raised her hand and pointed to a huge electronic screen on a high-rise apartment building: [Welcome to the New Capital]

Zhang Wanyue's gaze swept back and forth; it looked very much like a normal city, but everyone knew that everything was fake.

Deng Yuxin exclaimed with emotion: "Power restored, water supply restored, even the electronic screens are lit..."

Li Mengyao suddenly spoke up: "If this is a normal city, can we find an internet cafe? It's been so long since I've been online. What would the internet be like?"

"Brother Yu, where are we going first?"

Wang Mengmeng turned her head and asked.

Chen Yu looked to the side: "Class Monitor, what do you think?"

Zhang Wanyue spoke earnestly: "We definitely need to secure a place to stay quickly. The number of people will only increase, and with 300,000 people crowding into the city, this New Capital might not be able to accommodate them all."

She continued: "But it's best to first figure out where the boundaries of the core area are, which streets are covered by the Eye of Peace, which are gray zones, and we also need to pay attention to supply acquisition points."

Chen Yu nodded: "Then for now..."

His gaze looked into the distance, where a towering building pierced straight into the clouds, significantly taller than the surrounding buildings.

"Let's go check that out first."
