Cave Refuge-Chapter 234 - 232: Default Expiration_1

Dong Tianyu, following Mace’s guidance, opened the interface for rare pets, with the black and white dumpling cubs prominently displayed.

He quickly reserved the remaining four before continuing to browse the other pets.

Returning to the main product display page, Dong Tianyu was surprised by the increased variety and quantity of pets for sale, and asked Mace in confusion:

"There weren’t this many products last time, were there? Why has the quantity suddenly increased?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s question, Mace proudly explained: "When the weather first started to cool, our boss began to negotiate with members of other business alliances in neighboring cities and agreed on mutual transactions.

As soon as the weather returned to normal, the members of the business alliance started to ship the negotiated goods.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the business alliance is like a chamber of commerce, but unlike local chambers of commerce, each city only recruits one member."

Hearing Mace’s explanation, Dong Tianyu didn’t say much. Although he now knew about the business alliance, for now, he had no plans to contact other members.

Upon seeing the several purebred horses displayed on the page, Dong Tianyu immediately opened their details.

A red one,

A white one,

And a black one.

Regardless of their breed, these solid color horses without a speck of different hues, would absolutely attract the attention of the people.

Despite them not being a nomadic culture, both the historical records and mythological tales of the people are heavily imprinted with the presence of these purebred horses.

Dong Tianyu was a bit disappointed to find these purebred horses weren’t paired, shattering his idea of breeding them himself.

Besides the black and white dumpling cubs and the purebred horses, the rest of the pets currently listed seemed too exotic for his liking. Although some were rarer species, Dong Tianyu was not keen on them, so he left the browsing interface.

Considering there weren’t many animals at home, he opened the livestock page and selected some poultry and livestock.

After making his choices, Dong Tianyu handed the tablet to Mace and directly said, "I want to buy a few more canaries. Can you recommend some?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s request, Mace carefully took the tablet and asked cautiously, "If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me why you want to buy more canaries? Didn’t you already buy a pair twin ones last time? Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not concerned about their current situation. I just want to understand your reasons for buying again to recommend according to your preferences."

Dong Tianyu didn’t pay much attention to Mace’s question about Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson’s current situation. He simply laughed and said to Mace, "You know that I’m a Martial Artist, right?"

Seeing Mace nod, Dong Tianyu continued, "I am a Martial Artist and they are ordinary people. The gap in our physical conditions is too large. I’m not a fan of punishing others, so working out with them is not satisfying.

To increase their physical fitness is troublesome, so it’s much easier to add a few more fitness-minded members."

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s reasoning, Mace gave a sigh of relief.

Mace did not relax because Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson were not being mistreated by Dong Tianyu. To put it bluntly, in Mace’s eyes, they were commodities. Once they’re sold, as long as the customer doesn’t seek after-sales service, he could easily forget about them.

Upon hearing the real reason Dong Tianyu wanted to purchase more canaries, he realized it’s not because he was unsatisfied with their quality, but rather their quantity. This understanding broadened his recommendation options.

"Liu Meng, who excels at tea ceremonies, is curvaceous, rounded, and looks quite traditional and classical in her photo dressed in a plain cheongsam."

"Bai Yao, who excels at making cakes..."

"Good at..."

(I was scared after having three Chapters censored in a row)

Mace recommended six or seven high-level canaries in one breath, and only one of the top-level canaries, a scholarly type. He didn’t mention the other one but made sure to clarify the reason for not recommending her.

Seeing the odd expression Dong Tianyu had after hearing Mace’s explanation, Mace was going to ask if he liked this type, but Dong Tianyu immediately waved his hand indicating he couldn’t accept this type.

Although the other one was scholarly in demeanor, her appearance fell short compared to Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson. Despite being considered above average, the comparison with Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson made Dong Tianyu consider the price-performance ratio when buying canaries this time, and he eventually chose not to buy this one.

However, Dong Tianyu made a lavish move. In addition to the high-level canaries Mace recommended, he selected several canaries that caught his eye, effectively reserving over half the canaries listed in the shop.

Seeing the large number in the checkout area, Mace choked back a sob. He carefully looked at Dong Tianyu and found that he was neither frightened by the final checkout price nor showed any inclination to reduce the selected items.

Mace realized he had hit the jackpot. If Dong Tianyu returned next time with such big spending, not only would he be waiting on him, Peach Blossom Paradise’s second-in-command would most likely show up as well.

"The rules are the same as last time!"

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Mace didn’t ask for further instructions and immediately replied with a smile, "Of course, Brother Dong, you can rest assured, we’ll stick to the old rules."

After seeing the price in the checkout area, Dong Tianyu began to consider what he should trade for these goods.

The prices for gold and silver were not low, but also not as high as he had imagined. At this moment in Peach Blossom Paradise, gold and silver had lost their original currency properties. However, their industrial properties (material value) still made them a pricey commodity.

Dong Tianyu was surprised to find that despite the end of the heat wave, Peach Blossom Paradise’s purchase price for saltpeter was still not low, and it was even catching up with the purchase price for silver.

However, when Dong Tianyu looked at the high sulfur purchase price on the page, he understood the purpose of Peach Blossom Paradise’s actions. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

They indeed had the foresight, stockpiling both guns and food with both hands firmly grasping things, both hands had to be firm.

Dong Tianyu thought for a moment about the items in the Shadow Space. Many things at this point were not suitable for trading.

Like some food products. Their normal shelf life was usually one to two years. Dong Tianyu knew that Shadow Space was in a state of time stoppage, so regardless of how long things were kept inside, they wouldn’t spoil or expire.

But only Dong Tianyu knew this, others didn’t. Outsiders would default to the date sprayed on the outer packaging. Besides, who would believe that the items were newly produced at this point in time?

Thus, items taken out from the Shadow Space would be assumed by others to be expired food.
