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

There are actually several black markets in the base city, and the one Xie Yuan mentioned is located in Zone Z of the South City Gate.

Xu Sansan followed the coordinates on the navigation, walking and stopping often. It was mainly because her "Month" was too big and heavy, so she had to take turns to hold it, otherwise it would be a bit tiring!

At 06:35 in the morning, Xu Sansan finally reached his destination, which was a small, run-down building with three floors. Large areas of paint had fallen off on each floor. There were not many windows, but none of them were intact. There was a feeling of desolation, bleakness and unreliability everywhere.

"Whoo~"

He took a few deep breaths and walked into the first floor. The corridor was narrow and cramped. According to Xie Yuan's description, he turned left, then turned right at the first fork, then turned left again at the second fork, and then took the elevator on the right to go down to the -1rd floor.

Along the way, the light was not very good, but I didn't see anyone.

That’s right. It’s so early in the morning. The black market might not be open yet…

The slap in the face came quickly.

With a ding sound, the elevator door opened and suddenly there was a lot of noise and a mix of people.

Xu Sansan widened his eyes, not knowing whether he should press the 1F key immediately and go home directly.

But before she could hesitate for even a second, an impatient voice came from outside the door.

"Hey, Auntie! Are you going to come out or not? If not, get out of the way!"

Several tall and strong men stood in front of the elevator with their arms around each other, yawning, with dark circles under their eyes, obviously having stayed up all night.

"Oh oh oh~~I'll be right out."

Xu Sansan was very cautious and kept his voice down. He felt that going into the black market would make him feel safer than being in the same room with these strong men.

After exiting the elevator and turning right, you’ll reach the main street—which is also where the action really takes place.

The main street is lined with shops with all kinds of signs, and people are coming and going in an endless stream.

Isn't this a dungeon?!

Apart from the fact that the streets are narrower, the shops are smaller and the people coming and going are less serious, it's no different from the small streets on the ground in Zone Z. And there's no need to get exposed to the sun here!

Xu Sansan suddenly became interested and followed the crowd, looking around. As he walked, he arrived at the end of the black market.

She looked up at the store sign. Well, there was no sign. She looked at the door. It was indeed very small. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it. Hmm, she compared it with Xie Yuan's description:

Location: End of Black Market

Signboard: No

Door: Very small

Features: Not easy to be discovered

All satisfied!

Xu Sansan felt that everything was going smoothly, so he knocked on the small door four times - three long and one short.

"Come in, the door is open."

Yes, it was indeed a man's voice, that's for sure.

"Boss, do you have any new goods?"

Xu Sansan pushed the door open and walked in.

A man in his 30s stood behind the counter. He looked at Xu Sansan's bulging belly, pushed his glasses up on his nose, and asked uncertainly, "Are you using it or someone else?"

Xu Sansan thought to himself, Hey, why is it different from what we agreed?

So I asked again: "Are there any new products?"

The man with glasses looked at her belly again, then at the whips, handcuffs, chains, and other supplies hanging on the wall. He was a little surprised, but still answered truthfully: "Although there are no new products, there are still many best-selling models. But are you sure...you can do it?"

Xu Sansan frowned, this code was not right, and glanced around.

Ok,

Sorry to bother you.

He went out very decisively.

Only the man with glasses was left holding his chin and doubting his life: are things so wild nowadays?

After Xu Sansan left the xx supplies store, he recalled the description Xie Yuan gave him last night and found that he was indeed not mistaken and had not missed anything, so he walked around the store a few more times.

At this moment, a head suddenly popped out from the wall next to him, and then a "wall" about 1 meters high was slowly pushed open, and an old man walked out, holding a broom, bent down and began to sweep out the garbage.

Xu Sansan took a look.

Location: End of Black Market

Signboard: No

Door: Very small

Features: Not easy to be discovered

This door is exactly the same as the wall, so it is really hard to be discovered!

When the old man finished sweeping the floor and was about to turn around, Xu Sansan stepped forward and asked in a low voice:

"Boss, do you have any new goods?"

The old man waved his hand:

“We don’t have new products every year!”

Xu Sansan: "Then let's take a look at what's available every year!"

The old man raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at her, paused, and said disdainfully:

"It happens every year, but there's nothing to see."

Xu Sansan: "You'll know after you take a look."

The old man motioned her to come in.

"Snapped!"

The door is closed.

The old man glanced at her from head to toe, not having much patience: "What's your name?"

Xu Sansan smiled and said, "My name is Nian Nian!"

The old man's breathing suddenly became heavier, and then he turned around abruptly, hunched over, and looked out through the peephole of the small door for a moment. After confirming that it was safe, he led Xu Sansan to the back of the room and squinted at her: "Did someone ask you to come?"

Xu Sansan nodded.

The old man's eyes tightened and his voice trembled: "...still alive?"

Xu Sansan nodded again.

The old man took a few deep breaths and stopped asking questions.

He could guess that something must have happened to Xie Yuan, otherwise why would the computer show that he was logged out, and in the past few days, someone came to the store from time to time to inquire about him.

The old man’s surname is Qin, everyone calls him Lao Qin, and he has a son named Qin Niannian.

Five years ago, he and his son were in trouble in City 5 and almost died. It was Xie Yuan who saved them...

"Take out the contents of your stomach."

Lao Qin said something indifferent and walked back to the counter.

Xu Sansan paused. Damn, could he be seen through so easily?

Wouldn't that have been exposed long ago? Why is she acting so hard?

Lao Qin seemed to see her worry, and added quietly:

"Humph! I, Old Qin, have been in the martial arts world for more than ten years. How can I survive without a bit of vision?"

Xu Sansan was embarrassed but still smiled. He took out the giant egg from his arms and placed it on the counter:

"It's an egg... well, the uncontaminated kind."

Lao Qin raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes.

Come on, little girl, continue making up.

Xu Sansan: "Shh~ Healing nuclear crystal energy..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Qin took a breath of cold air, his eyes rolled, and he immediately slapped away Xu Sansan's claws, picked up the giant egg himself, placed it carefully on a black instrument, pressed a few buttons, and stared at it intently without saying a word.

After a while, the detector displayed: high-level healing energy, energy value 577.

Lao Qin finally couldn't hold back anymore, holding the egg, he turned his head and asked, "You, what do you want to change?"

Xu Sansan looked around. This was a small second-hand store. Apart from the counter, the rest of the store was filled with shelves that went all the way to the ceiling. Each shelf was filled with a variety of items, mostly metal instruments and accessories. Well, she didn't recognize any of them, so she had to ask back:

"How many contribution points can you give for this egg?"

Lao Qin was a little excited, this treasure was not easy to come by. Now the potions in the base were in very short supply. For example, the repair potion that used to cost 500 contribution points per bottle was now being sold for nearly 800 points on the black market due to the severe shortage!

Moreover, all medicines are poisonous, and repair potions also have side effects!

But this giant egg is different. It has high energy value and is pollution-free. If the news gets out, the price will definitely double!

"Cough cough~"

Lao Qin coughed a few times tactfully. Acquaintances are acquaintances, and business is business. He thought for a moment and said:

"I'll buy it for 800. You won't find a higher price than this!"

Xu Sansan was shocked. How could it be so much higher than Xie Yuan's estimate? Could it be that he deliberately gave a high price just for his sake?

Acquaintances are acquaintances, and business is business!

She was somewhat embarrassed:

"This...is not good..."

Lao Qin's heart skipped a beat. He knew the market situation. His eyes rolled again, and he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth:

"The maximum is 1100, no higher!"

Xu Sansan almost couldn't catch his breath!

She is an expert at bargaining when buying things, but this is the first time she has encountered a sponsor who has raised the price on his own initiative when selling things.

Could it be that this old man didn't even bother to save face when he made the offer... So this dome is so valuable... I hit the jackpot by accident...

After thinking it through, she made the decision decisively: "Deal!"

Lao Qin finally gave in. God knows, he was actually ready to raise the price to 1200...

"Boss, to be honest, I also want to buy a set of radiators."

Lao Qin happily hugged the giant egg, unwilling to let go for a long time. He changed his previous cold tone and introduced it very attentively: "What boss, just call me Lao Qin! Let me tell you, I just got a set of high-end radiators here. Don't think it's second-hand, but no matter from the function, life, appearance, or this aspect, it is top-notch configuration..."

Lao Qin praised his product to such an extent that Xu Sansan was completely confused. Well, since it was recommended by Xie Yuan, she would just believe it.

In the end, Xu Sansan bought this second-hand high-end radiator with 580 contribution points. He also spent 390 contribution points to buy 36 metal splicing plates and 6 expandable metal tubes. He also spent 50 contribution points to buy 5 ordinary nutrient solutions that would expire in 4 days. He also spent 40 contribution points to buy two towels. In the end, he had 40 points left. With the original 26 points, the balance on the computer showed 66 contribution points.

Xu Sansan haggled for a long time and finally persuaded Lao Qin to give her a small hoe. Only then did she start loading the truck with satisfaction.

First, pile the metal plates on the cart, then tie the radiator on it, and stuff the metal pipe and a small hoe on both sides. Then, cover it with the plastic sheet taken from Lao Qin, deliberately exposing the hoe and metal pipe to confuse the audience. Finally, wrap the whole thing with a rope a few times to secure it. Perfect!

Xu Sansan put the nutrient solution into the cloth bag, then took two new towels, rolled them up, and stuffed them into his lower abdomen with a dry laugh.

Then he waved goodbye and left the second-hand store.

Life is really like a play, it all depends on your acting skills!

As soon as she went out, she immediately got into the state, supporting her belly with her left hand and pulling the cart with her right hand with great effort.

Although he had disguised himself before leaving, Xu Sansan was still a little nervous because of the scarce radiator.
