Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times
Chapter 14 Black Market
"Although some of these eggs contain rare healing energy, my injuries are too severe, so they cannot heal me."
Xie Yuan said calmly, "But I am still very grateful to you. Thank you for rescuing me from the refugee camp and providing me with precious medicine and food..."
Xu Sansan looked at the young man whose eyes were gradually turning red, feeling a little embarrassed, and waved his hands, not really caring: "Oh, that's because you saved me first, I'm just repaying you a little.
Besides, this place to set up the tent was provided by you! It is mutually beneficial for both of us!
And you know, my memory is not very good now, and I may need to ask you for advice on many things..."
As he said this, he looked away with a guilty look on his face.
But I was thinking, whether I can quickly understand the end of the world, I am counting on you. You are my end of the world version of Baidu Encyclopedia!
Xie Yuan knew that although his upper body could move, he couldn't use too much force with his arms. To put it bluntly, he was still a disabled person and without a light computer, a black household could do nothing in the end times.
In fact, he was planning to leave in two days...
But now that she said she still needed him, he would do his best to help...
After organizing his thoughts, Xie Yuan quickly entered the role:
"Have you ever thought about reinforcing this little tent?"
Xu Sansan slapped his thigh:
"Oh, come on, I forgot all about the important things. I brought back a lot of vines and reeds today. I plan to use the vines to make a fence and the reeds to make some straw mats..."
Xie Yuan couldn't bear to interrupt her chatter, so he waited until she finished before explaining, "You know, since the functions of these two eggs are very rare, they will definitely be sold for a good price. When you exchange them for contribution points, you can upgrade the plastic sheets around them to metal plates.
The metal plates are actually not expensive. The remaining contribution points are enough to exchange for a new set of radiators, which can be installed on the ceiling and four walls. This way, the room will not be hot, and you don’t have to worry about damaging the supplies when placing them inside.
Adding all these together, there should be some contribution points left, so I can buy a metal door with a lock... and the safety factor can be improved..."
After hearing this, Xu Sansan would be lying if he said he wasn't moved, but he still frowned:
"Didn't you say that this egg would help your injury? How can you sell it?"
Xie Yuan stammered and didn't speak immediately. He didn't expect that she would want to keep both eggs for him. He suppressed the emotion in his heart again, shook his head, and smiled faintly:
"Even if I eat it all, I won't be able to recover. At most, I can recover a little.
Moreover, this tent is indeed not safe enough. Do you want the supplies you have worked so hard to find to be broken or stolen?
You may not remember that after the hot season, there is the windy season and the snowy season. The strong winds in the windy season can easily overturn this tent, and in the windy season, the mobility will be greatly hindered, and the probability of finding supplies will be low. In addition, because the wasteland and abandoned cities in the snowy season are very dangerous, people generally don’t go out to scavenge, so in the hot season, you have to start stockpiling supplies and prepare for the winter..."
what?
Is this the end of the world for you?!
Is it true that the hot season is the most relaxing season?!
"So, how many days does the hot season last? Is the windy season coming soon?"
Xu Sansan felt so tired, she suddenly wanted to go home very much!
Xie Yuan transformed into a Jianghu know-it-all and continued to popularize science:
"The hot season is very long, basically stable at 125 days, the windy season is relatively short, generally lasting about 60 days, and the snowy season and rainy season are 90 days each, a total of 365 days a year."
……
Well, today is the 336th year of the Star Calendar, the 69th day of the Scorching Season, and there are still 56 days until the end of the Scorching Season. Fortunately, there are still nearly two months left...
Xu Sansan thought about it. If the environment was so bad, then Xie Yuan's suggestion did make sense. However, she looked at the thin young man. In her memory, he was very tall and strong...
"Tell me, if I only exchange one egg, can I buy a radiator?"
Xu Sansan feels that the most urgent issue that needs to be resolved now is the temperature problem.
"Well...if I go to the official exchange office, I should be able to get at least 500 contribution points."
In fact, Xie Yuan himself didn't know exactly how much he could exchange for, because healing energy was extremely rare and he had never encountered it before. He could only roughly convert it according to the repair potion that also had healing effects.
"A set of cooling devices usually costs more than 400 contribution points. The more powerful the function, the more expensive it will be, and there is no upper limit..."
Xu Sansan nodded and decided to leave one egg for Xie Yuan and use the other egg to improve accommodation conditions.
"but,"
Xie Yuan suddenly thought, "It's the hot season now, and cooling devices are in short supply. The official exchange office may have been out of stock for a long time."
"Ah? What should we do?"
Xie Yuan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it or not. He was afraid that the information he gave would not only fail to help her, but would harm her instead. So he pursed his lips and considered it silently.
Xu Sansan saw that Xie Yuan had obviously made some further plans, but still had some concerns, so he patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, if you have any other ideas, just tell me. I won't let you down!"
Xie Yuan found it a little funny.
Although he is not a big man, he has a big mouth.
So he explained: "It's not a special route, it's just that this place is quite dangerous, I'm worried that something might happen to you..."
Xu Sansan raised his eyebrows.
Danger, that's for sure, she's most afraid of danger,
But the flag has just been set, this character can't collapse so quickly,
I had no choice but to ask, "Where?"
Xie Yuan: “Black market.”

星历336年,炎季70日,05:30:00
Xu Sansan was woken up by the alarm clock on time. It was the same routine again: get up - go to the public toilet - "arm up"...
After the plastic sheet of the tent was lifted up and then quickly put down again, a woman wearing a headscarf and a sack, with a big belly, pulled a small cart and walked slowly towards the south gate of the base.
This person was none other than Xu Sansan. She passed by many people from the shantytowns who were just leaving the house to go to the berth to board the ship. Perhaps it was because her clothes were too tattered, or perhaps it was because there was nothing on her cart, so even though she was walking towards everyone, she did not arouse the curiosity of passers-by.
Xu Sansan watched the crowd gradually approaching and then hurried away, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His right hand, which had been soaked with sweat from pulling the cart, relaxed a little, but his left hand was still tightly pressed against his stomach.
But she has to hold it carefully. Is it her belly that she is dragging now?
No, it's her radiator!
We arrived at the South Gate on time. It was exactly 6 o'clock in the morning, the time when the gate was opened to residents outside the base.
Xu Sansan was familiar with the route and entered the city. Following Xie Yuan's instructions, he quickly arrived at the official exchange office.
The exchange office is a spacious 4-story building with two large counters on the first floor.
On the left is the contribution point exchange place, and on the right is the material exchange place.
Although we arrived at the right time, the hall was already crowded, especially the contribution point exchange area, where there was a long queue.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that residents outside the city dare not hoard large amounts of supplies at home. Indeed, it would be safer to exchange them for contribution points early and store them on the optical computer.
Sure enough, as Xie Yuan said, even if there are patrol teams on duty outside the base city, the authorities will not make a ruling unless the criminals are caught in the act. The shantytowns are not as safe as imagined!
Xu Sansan, with her big belly, walked to the material exchange office on the right. There were almost no people here and there was no need to queue.
She walked directly to the window and asked:
"Excuse me, are there any radiators for sale now?"
The staff member was probably in a bad mood and replied rather arrogantly: "What are you thinking? The radiator has been out of stock for 30 days. Just wait."
really……
Xu Sansan curled the corners of his mouth to show that he understood, then turned around and walked resolutely towards the legendary black market.
