75: The trading hall was blocked and trading conditions changed

The moment Long Feiyang stepped through the door, the Red Queen's notification sounded in his ear at just the right time.

[Master, Lou Zhenhua has proposed a transaction with us, using money as payment, with no limit on the quantity of ingredients.]

Hearing this news, a look of understanding flashed in Long Feiyang's eyes, and he immediately grasped the situation.

He knew clearly that Lou Zhenhua's actions indicated he had already made contact with the higher-ups and received some form of instruction or permission.

Otherwise, given the Lou Family's previous cautious and trepidatious attitude, he would absolutely not dare to boldly propose an unlimited purchase of ingredients.

Long Feiyang continued walking, heading straight for the basement.

His steps were steady and firm, and he already had a plan in mind.

After entering the basement, he gave Red Queen clear instructions.

“Have Lou Zhenhua provide a detailed transaction address. I can provide...”

As he spoke, he quickly calculated in his mind, planning to thoroughly clear out the Super Warehouse and sell all the ingredients inside.

In his opinion, the prepared delicacies were for his own enjoyment, and during this period, he had produced a considerable amount of delicacies, measured in tons. So even if he sold all the current harvest from the Super Farm, he wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

“By the way, ask if the livestock and fish need to be slaughtered in advance?” Long Feiyang added.

Red Queen: [Understood, Master.]

...Red Queen: [Mr. Lou, the list of ingredients we can provide has been sent to your phone. Please check it. For this transaction, please provide a suitable location and time. Additionally, do the livestock and fish need to be slaughtered and processed by us in advance?]

Lou Zhenhua heard the notification on his phone, took it out to check, and when he saw the long list of ingredients pop up on the screen, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

He then turned to look at his companions beside him, his gaze carrying a hint of inquiry, as if seeking their opinions.

“No need to slaughter them. We will handle these live animals ourselves when we get back.”

A middle-aged man quickly reacted and said hurriedly.

He knew that for a first transaction, the quality of the ingredients was crucial, and live animals were undoubtedly the best proof of freshness, which would make everyone feel more at ease consuming them.

Next, the middle-aged man meticulously recorded the detailed ingredient list on the phone screen, not missing a single number or type, his expression focused and serious.

As for the transaction location, after a heated discussion, an open area outside the city was finally chosen.

After the higher-ups learned of this, they attached great importance to it and immediately dispatched personnel urgently to construct relevant facilities against the clock.

After all, according to the list, if there were indeed 450,000 pigs weighing 200 kilograms each, the required area would be considerable, far from what an ordinary small venue could accommodate.

Moreover, there were also 4.5 million chickens and a wide variety of other ingredients that needed storage and turnover.

Therefore, the scale of the transaction venue had to be large enough to meet the demands of this transaction and ensure its smooth progress.

After settling on the transaction location and time, Lou Zhenhua and the two middle-aged men left in a hurry.

Before leaving, the two middle-aged men gazed deeply at the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary's transaction hall, their eyes filled with curiosity about this mysterious place, as if they wanted to imprint everything there in their minds.

Not long after, a group of Soldiers in military uniforms with serious expressions arrived to set up a cordon, quickly surrounding the transaction hall tightly.

Their movements were uniform, demonstrating high discipline and professionalism, as if they were carrying out an extremely important mission... Red Queen: [Master, the transaction hall has been sealed off.]

Upon receiving this news, Long Feiyang shook his head with some helplessness, though he had anticipated such a situation.

After all, he had always been viewed with apprehension, so being sealed off was reasonable.

However, this sealing meant that the convenient underground tunnel could no longer be used, which annoyed him somewhat.

The more Long Feiyang thought about it, the angrier he became, muttering to himself that if he got angry, the consequences would be no laughing matter.

A determined look flashed in his eyes, and he had already made a new decision.

“Contact Lou Zhenhua and tell him that this transaction will not be for money. Instead, we will trade for equivalent granite, limestone, basalt, blast furnace slag aggregate, steel slag aggregate, or other equivalent minerals. They can delay payment for this batch of goods, but if all payments are not cleared, all subsequent transactions will be suspended.”

Long Feiyang's tone carried an undeniable firmness.

Before, he only thought of trading for money, which was almost like giving away ingredients for half price or even free.

Even if the organization got the money, they couldn't use it openly and would ultimately have to trade with the officials.

He didn't expect the other party to directly block his escape route, forcing him to expend emotional value to build another tunnel.

Since the other party wanted to escalate the matter, he might as well force them to exchange raw materials for ingredients.

Many of these raw materials could be processed into concrete and various metals, which were much more practical than money. In the future, he could also save the emotional value needed to purchase building materials, which could be considered a new path for himself.

Red Queen: [Yes, Master.]

--- Red Queen: [Mr. Lou, given that our transaction hall has now been sealed off, we have decided to change the transaction terms. Henceforth, we will no longer accept monetary transactions. Instead, we require your party to use equivalent granite, limestone, basalt, blast furnace slag aggregate, steel slag aggregate, and other materials, or other various equivalent minerals to complete the transaction. Tonight's transaction will proceed as usual, and your payment can be deferred. However, if all payments are not settled, all subsequent transactions will be suspended. We hope your party takes note and considers this carefully.]

Upon hearing Red Queen's message, the three of them, including Lou Zhenhua, exchanged glances, their faces showing expressions of surprise and difficulty.

The faces of the two middle-aged men were particularly grim and unpleasant.

In fact, the sealing of the transaction hall was a task arranged and executed by the higher-ups after their report, but they had not expected such a strong reaction from the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

“Red Queen, we will immediately revoke the blockade. Please maintain the original transaction method and conduct the transaction with money.”

One of the middle-aged men said urgently, his voice tinged with anxiety and unease.

After all, a transaction that could be directly completed with money was always much simpler to operate than exchanging various resources.

Other resources not only needed to be collected from various places and then transported, but this process was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the human resources wasted were also enormous, which would bring considerable pressure to all parties.

Red Queen: [Since a mistake has been made, the corresponding consequences must be borne. From now on, all transactions with us must strictly follow the materials we specify. There is no room for negotiation on this point.]

Upon hearing Red Queen's reply, the middle-aged man looked dejected, and at the same time, an expression of resentment unconsciously appeared on his face.

This subtle change in expression was immediately caught by Red Queen, who then placed him under surveillance and promptly reported the situation to Long Feiyang.

Long Feiyang, upon receiving the news, looked indifferent, his eyes revealing a cold sternness, and he simply said: “Monitor him 24 hours a day, pay close attention to his every move, and report any abnormal situations promptly.”

Long Feiyang pondered to himself, it seemed necessary to add some more advanced monitoring equipment in the future to ensure his own safety and the smooth progress of transactions, avoiding any unexpected situations.

--- Around four in the afternoon, two black dots appeared in the sapphire-like sky. Gradually, two majestic Golden Eagles reappeared, their figures agile. After circling a few times in the air, they landed steadily in the courtyard.

This time, they had caught two rather large wild animals: a sika deer weighing over ten kilograms and an equally robust wild boar.

The magical nature of these two Golden Eagles had long been a popular topic of conversation among the neighbors after meals, and one could often hear everyone enthusiastically discussing their various feats, filled with curiosity and amazement at their appearance.

These two Golden Eagles, like Hanhan and Huhua, had also been injected with the Super Gene Potion.

Because their daily exercise volume was much greater than that of the two dogs, they had already been injected with the Super Gene Potion three times, their strength becoming increasingly formidable, making them a striking presence in the sky.

Long Feiyang looked at the two Golden Eagles, secretly planning to find them again in the evening to try and activate their Superpower, making them even more powerful aids for him, playing a greater role in the future.

At five in the afternoon, the lingering glow of the sunset, like a golden veil, spilled onto the entrance of the Siheyuan, and Lou Xiaoe's figure appeared there punctually.

“Auntie Zhuzi, are you here to play with us?” Yaoyao and Nana's eyes lit up when they saw Lou Xiaoe, their faces beaming with happy smiles, like blooming flowers, full of childish innocence and vitality.

Lou Xiaoe often came around four or five in the afternoon to play with the two little girls in the courtyard. In the children's hearts, she was an inseparable playmate, bringing them much joy and warmth.

Lou Xiaoe also showed a gentle smile when she saw the two lovely children, her smile as warm as the spring sun.

But when her gaze turned to Long Feiyang, her face instantly became furious, as if she had transformed into a different person.

“Long Feiyang, you lied to me!”

Lou Xiaoe said angrily, her voice carrying a hint of grievance and indignation.
