Chapter 58
Chapter 58 – Is there any bulk discount?
He clearly understood every words coming out from Chen Haipings’s mouth . But he couldn’t understand all the words combined .
He looked at the most noticeable part in the whole room . It was a large exchange list with many items available for exchange .
Most of them were foods .
Canned beef, canned pork, canned fruits, canned vegetables…
Chocolate, spicy strips, cookies…
Even fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck, goose, fish, pig, beef and mutton were available on the list . Li Tao looked at the exchange price on the list . He wasn’t familiar with contribution points but there were also price list for spirit stone currency . It was a good price, not particularly expensive or anything .
“We can exchange these things? You can even open a supermarket with this rich variety of foods!”
“That’s entirely possible . But what’s the point?” Peng Bo felt this person was noisy . He looked at the staff of the exchange office and thought carefully, “I want to exchange for a box of Snickers, two bottles of Red Bull, a pack of Qiaqia Sunflower Seeds, and some packages of Happy Potato Chips . Hmm… it seems like I choose too many . ”
Peng Bo grinned, “Xiao Chen, can you give me a discount?”
The clerk called Xiao Chen saw Peng Bo’s fierce expression, he smiled bitterly . “Brother Peng, please don’t be silly . Everything here is already counted . I would be blamed if something’s missing . ”
Peng Bo also acknowledge the truth . He was only joking and greedy . He finally chose fewer things .
A bypassing Xiaopeng showed a mocking face, “Look at all the stuff you just redeemed . There won’t be enough points to redeem the training pass . ”
The clerk took out a special small book and wrote down the exchanges contribution made . Manual recording was troublesome .
Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the shelter at the moment . Besides, the contribution points were currently available to patrols and some working managers .
Tang Yu understood this recording method was out-of-date . It’s not just troublesome but also prone to problems . However, the territory currently had no network and programmer . It’s impossible to get a modern exchange method in the moment .

Xiao Chen recorded Peng Bo’s contribution exchange and opened a drawer .
There was cabinets with many drawers behind the counter .
Items was classified and placed in marked drawers . He opened them one by one, took out the things Peng Bo wished to exchange and handed them over .
Li Tao observed from the side and saw clearly .
All these drawers are filled with food! Food!
Nearby, he saw a fully working freezer with running electricity . He saw a glimpse of red thing inside the freezer . Was that raw meat?
Lu Xiaopeng patted his shoulder, “Take it easy, your eyeballs looks like they’re about to pop out . ”
Li Tao was speechless .
Lu Xiaopeng pointed at the exchange list . “Well, you are from the river… uh, what was your shelter again?”
“Creek Forest”
“Ah yes, Creek Forest . Let me give you a suggestion, don’t buy useless snacks like Fatty Peng . Do exchange your money for some equipment . It’s worth your money . ”
Li Tao looked at the equipment exchange list .
Compared to the rich variety of foods, the equipment list seemed a bit pale .
Standard Long Sword (Normal) . Price: 15 contribution points / 30 spirit stones .
Standard Long Sword (Enhanced 1) . Price: 30 contribution points .

Standard Long Sword (Enhanced 2) . Price: 50 contribution points .
Standard Combat Uniform (Normal) . Price: 15 contribution points/30 spirit stones .
Li Tao froze at the equipment price list .
Compared to the relatively cheap foods, these equipment were ridiculously expensive .
These weapons and equipment were most likely the ones worn by the Tree Shade hunters . He admitted that they looked good, but the price was outrageous .
Lu Xiaopeng saw his doubts and gently dragged Li Tao outside .
He saw a survivor was pushing a cart full of scrap metal, he called him and picked up a piece of discarded steel bar . “Watch this!” He held the steel bar on his left hand and the long sword on his other hand, he swung the sword at the steel bar . The steel bar was sliced in two pieces and fell to the ground .
“Hmm… It’s not enough . ”
Lu Xiaopeng stacked two steel bars and swung his sword again . The steel bar broke into four parts .
“Look again . ”
He continued to stack the steel bar again . This time on the ground .
Woosh!
Woosh!
He was absorbed in the scene .
Li Tao thought carefully .
He was a hunter who had faced demonic beast . Naturally, he understood how hard it was to kill a demonic beast .

The sharp weapons before the doomsday were useless against the demonic beast .
Even the best sword was dulled in just a few battles .
That wasn’t the main problem . The most important thing in a battle against the demonic beast was, it’s hard to severely wound the demonic beast .
But with such a sharp weapon, Li Tao could imagine .
The demonic beast fur that previously was hard to penetrate would be penetrated easily with such a sharp blade . Killing a demonic beast would be easier .
This way, the whole battle outcome will be safer .
In a flash, he thought of all the benefits of having such a sharp weapon .
They went back to the exchange room again .
Li Tao took a closer look at the exchange list, “Why do some equipment exchange prices only available in contribution points, not in spirit stones currency?”
“That’s because… uh I forgot . ” Lu Xiaopeng thought hard .
Chen Haiping was busy with something but decided to interfere . “It’s only available in contribution points because it’s not available to public . Only our internal staff can exchange the equipment with contribution point . Basically, using contribution points is cheaper than spirit stones . Our internal staff can exchange one contribution points with one spirit stones . ”
“How about that? Are you interested in joining our shelter’s patrol team?”
That hit the spot .
Li Tao felt bitter .
When he first saw the condition of Tree Shade Shelter, he thought he could recruits some hunters from here . But now it was the other way around . ”
He envied the hunters in this shelter, but he still had high moral and dignity . He didn’t forget the purpose of this trip .
Li Tao said, “Then I’ll buy a Normal Standard Sword first . ”
He searched through his bag and found 20 spirit stones, “Some of them was extracted from a double awakening demonic beast . It should be enough . ”
Chen Haiping received the spirit stones and inspected it, “Indeed, it’s enough . The Standard Sword is not here . Wait here, I’ll fetch it . ”
Shortly after, Chen Haiping brought a standard long sword . Li Tao swung it around several times, it was very light . He felt his spirit stones was well spent .
The teammates around him were envious .
They also wanted to own the long sword . But they couldn’t afford the price .
“Oh, by the way . You can get a set of equipment for free just from joining our patrol . Including normal standard long sword, standard combat suits, also rifles, pistols and other equipment” Chen Haiping suddenly thought of something and said, “Of course, these items will be available for a long time . Maybe we even got new items in stock in the future . So if you still wants to buy them, just hand over your spirit stones . ”
The other team members were even more envious .
If it wasn’t for their high morals, they would probably join the shelter .
Li Tao felt he shouldn’t stay here for any longer .
Otherwise, his moral defense would be shattered .
There was some accidents when they first arrived at the Tree Shade Shelter, but they finally reached their goals . Even though he couldn’t exchange many things…
He saw the long sword on his hands and felt this trip was worth it .
“Tree Shade Shelter people, we bid you farewell . After we get back to our shelter, we will tell our leader about the details . We might visit again next time . ”
He stopped at the city gates, Li Tao finally thought about something, “I was just wondering, is there any bulk discounts?”
