Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

Inside the private room outside the underground auction, the evaluator clicked the "Service" button on the electronic screen while Siyan was terrified, Lao Qin was extremely expectant, and Xu Sansan was calm as water. Soon, a price list full of numbers appeared in front of the three people.

In the private room, the first sound that was heard was Siyan's suffocating sound, followed by Lao Qin's nodding and mumbling, "So that's how it is", and finally Xu Sansan's stunned exclamations.

Not to mention the price, just the confusing service categories alone would completely shatter Xu Sansan's worldview.

The first category in the service list reads:

"Imitations"

Next to the word "counterfeit", a warm reminder is given in red warning font:

Only replicas that meet luxury standards will be sold in this auction.

Next is the name of the imitation product:

Imitation beer 1500 contribution points

It’s luxurious indeed!

Below "Imitations" is the second category "Light Meals"

When Xu Sansan saw these two words, his first reaction was, the end of the world is so hard, but it is popular to eat light meals and replace meals to lose weight?

The life inside and outside the base city is like heaven and earth!

However, when she quickly scanned the drop-down list, she was speechless:

So the light food here refers specifically to lightly contaminated food? !

For example:

Slightly Contaminated Grapes: 1000 Contribution Points/10 Grapes

Lightly Contaminated Orange 1500 Contribution Points/5 Petals

Slightly Contaminated Watermelon 2000 Contribution Points/1 Tooth

…………

Seeing this, Xu Sansan and Lao Qin both took a deep breath at the same time and blinked rapidly!

Xu Sansan glanced at Lao Qin meaningfully. Lao Qin's eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look back out of guilt.

The former regretted that he should not have sold the big watermelon at that time. Not only did he not eat a single bite of it, but he also sold it at such a low price.

The latter regretted being deceived by the dark web's price guidance system. He now seriously suspected that the watermelon was bought at the auction...

Xu Sansan calmly touched the plastic bottle of mutant poisonous fire bee honey and secretly made up her mind that she must earn back all the money she lost on the mutant watermelon with this bottle of honey!

Xu Sansan's gaze then moved downward.

Following "light meals" is the third category - "no additives":

It means that you can ask to add various pollutants-free foods to the above foods.

Such as no pollution artificial sucrose, no pollution artificial flavors, no pollution artificial caffeine, no pollution trans fatty acids, etc.

Xu Sansan looked at the gray icons and sold-out signs and instantly realized that these familiar words probably referred to the inventory left over from the early days of the apocalypse. Where could he find so many unpolluted things now?

The tester's explanation then confirmed Xu Sansan's guess:

"The items in the no-additives section were sold out hundreds of years ago, but our service list has never been updated."

The reviewer then continued:

"The services on this page are all food-related, and the prices are relatively low. The next page will mainly feature the auction's special services..."

As soon as the words fell, the choking sound of Siyan was heard again:

Is there anything more expensive?

The reviewer took the initiative to click on the next page and pointed to the "manicure" service promotion:

"This is a special service of our auction. We can provide deep maintenance and brightening services for outer armor, soft armor, and various types of advanced armor to the inside and outside personnel participating in the auction. Of course, if there are special design requirements for vests, we also have experienced stylists who can provide on-site guidance or private customization, but this is a different price."

While Xu Sansan was stunned by this "manicure" service, he suddenly saw the next more incredible term - "corner trimming"!

The evaluator's patient explanation arrived as promised:

“This is one of the best-selling services at our auction, which mainly focuses on repairing and polishing the edges and corners of various weapons.

For example, a chipped dagger, a broken machete, or a worn-out gun muzzle..."

Oh... I see, the writing skills of this auction are second to none...

Xu Sansan probably understood the naming logic in the service list, so she pointed at "Dark Film" and "Colorful Ears" and asked her final question, because she had not yet figured out the deeper meaning of these two items.

The reviewer just smiled:

"This is a new service recently launched by our auction house. Dark film is mainly used to apply dark-colored anti-peep film to the windshields of aircraft, trucks and other means of transportation to better protect privacy. As for colored ears, this is actually a separate branch from the nail art business. It is mainly used to camouflage the employer's ears with real colors. After all, most of the human skin masks popular in the world now do not actually take the ears into consideration..."

After such a vivid explanation, Xu Sansan seriously suspected that the owner of this auction had some bad taste and liked puns so much.

Well… since this auction has such a long history, these names are likely to have been passed down from the early days of the apocalypse.

Xu Sansan put herself in their shoes and thought, if she traveled back to that period, she might do something similar...

Time passed quickly. This explanation took nearly an hour. The evaluator increased his speaking speed:

"So, are you willing to sell this bottle of poisonous fire bee honey in our 'service column'?"

“How will the profits be divided?”

It was obvious that Xu Sansan was most concerned about the price.

"We generally offer two methods. One is to purchase at a lump sum according to the evaluation reserve price. The other is to split the profits 50-50 with our auction house based on the actual sales data."

The reviewer had just finished speaking.

Old Qin quickly gave Xu Sansan a look. He was quite good at playing tricks.

Xu Sansan understood what he meant, so he said, "Then let's split it 50-50, but I have one request. This honey must be made into honey water and then sold one cup at a time. How do you think that is?"

The reviewer's eyes lit up immediately under the mask, and he quickly calculated in his mind. This bottle of poisonous fire bee honey could at least be exchanged for 300 to 350 small cups of honey water. Even if each cup of honey water was priced at the lowest 1000 contribution points, it would be enough to earn a total of 30 to 35 contribution points!

Not bad!

This plan is quite feasible. This way, she will definitely get the bonus package for this hot season!

So the evaluator nodded very eagerly and agreed to the proposal.

But I didn't expect Xu Sansan to suddenly make another request:

"I hope that when this honey water is sold, ice cubes can be added to it, and the honey can be dripped directly on the ice cubes to let it dissolve on its own, and a slightly more special name can be displayed in the service list..."

The reviewer was puzzled: "What's the name?"

Xu Sansan smiled: "The afterglow of the setting sun!"

The reviewer continued: "So what is your expected selling price...?"

Xu Sansan curled his lips slightly: "At least 2500 contribution points for one cup!"

"hiss--!"

Siyan couldn't bear it anymore and took a deep breath.

Lao Qin curled his lips and muttered to himself:

"This thing has a fancy name and is so expensive, will anyone buy it?"

In fact, no one present at that time had expected that a few days later, this drink called "Sunset Afterglow" would suddenly appear and sweep through all the high-end places in the inner city of the base, causing the ice factory's already tight productivity in the hot season to be in short supply. At the same time, in the dark web's task list, the number of scavenging tasks for various types of honey increased by dozens!

Xu Sansan not only doubled the money he made from selling the mutant watermelons at a low price, but also quietly started a beverage revolution...

Of course, these are all later stories. At this time, Xu Sansan is still worried:

Although the large-value business deal was concluded, she still hadn't succeeded in bidding today. She had come here with great difficulty, but if she didn't sell an item, then she would still be five items away from the title of inviter.

So she hesitated for a long time, and finally took out an ebony box from the cloth bag. In the box lay a pair of walnuts that she had harvested this time.

At the same time, in a room in the inner city of the base:

A big hand was playing with the glass of simulated beer on the table, and a majestic voice sounded:

"Is there any progress?"

Another voice replied respectfully:

"There has been no harvest in the shantytowns yet..."

No gain?

Nothing was found in City No. 505, and there was no trace of the shantytown either. Could it be... in the refugee camp...?

After a pause, the majestic voice came again:

"Then check everything again! Including the refugee camps!"
