Chapter 214 Selling Water (6)

Shaking his head, Gu Shaoze replied, "I sold the water to Captain Wei at a low price because he saved my life."

After a brief silence, the Colonel asked, "Then how much do you want?"

"Since the Colonel wants to buy water to help everyone, of course I will offer a lower price. One crystal core per liter of water," Gu Shaoze said before taking another sip of coffee.

As soon as he said this, several military officers frowned. One of them spoke up, "Comrade, in times of emergency, we should work together. How can you ask for such a high price?"

Gu Shaoze finished his coffee and responded, "Sir, even though I'm an ability-user, providing that much water isn't easy. Overusing my energy causes pain, dizziness, and headaches which could harm my health. I'm not going to suffer just for being praised as a good person."

"I have stated my price. If you accept it, we can continue this discussion. If not, we can forget about it-I can always sell the water to others."

With that, he stood up and added, "Colonel, thank you for inviting my partner and me today. We will be leaving tomorrow, so if you want to buy water, you will need to make your decision soon."

Before turning to leave, he glanced at Pei Yijun and Wei Ying.

After they left, Chu Zhimiao wanted to offer her help. But before she could utter a word, Li Yang held her hand under the table and shook his head. Seeing this, she swallowed her words and remained silent.

Pei Yijun finished his coffee and said, "Since the Colonel still has matters to attend to, my team will take our leave first. Thank you for the food."

With that, he stood up and left, followed by his team. Seeing this, Wei Ying also exited the office, followed by several military officers.

Ten minutes later, only the Colonel and his subordinates remained in the room. After a heavy silence, the Colonel suddenly asked, "Everyone, what do you think we should do?"

After a moment of hesitation, one of them spoke, "Colonel, although the price is high, compared to the current market rate in the camp, we can still profit by reselling the water."

Another chimed in, "Colonel, since they are leaving tomorrow, we have to seize this opportunity and obtain as much water as possible. When the people from Jinwu City arrive in two days, we will have water ready to sell. By then, we can either raise the price or exchange it for other supplies."

Hearing their suggestions, the Colonel fell into thought. Then he said, "Okay, we will proceed as you suggest. We need at least 50,000 liters of water. Get more if possible."

His words stunned everyone in the room. After a while, one of them said, "Colonel, I'm afraid we don't have that many crystal cores."

The Colonel shot the speaker a sharp glance and said coldly, "Get the water first. Once we have it, there will be a way to handle the payment."

Understanding what the Colonel meant by "handling" the payment, they went silent.
