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

The door of the garrison's conference room opened, and in walked Shi Dongming, director of the garrison.

Just listen to him say:

"I heard that the Dawn Guard is re-electing its captain today. I'm sorry to interrupt you because you want to announce an internal transfer order for the base's top brass.

I declare that from now on, Wu Feng will be the captain of the Dawn Guard, and Wu Feng will no longer be the captain of the Gale Guard. Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment. After Director Shi Dongming disappeared at the end of the corridor, the room suddenly started to buzz again:

"What's going on? Why is it Wu Feng?"

"Wu Feng is staying well in Jifeng, why did he come to our Liming?!"

"Are those bastards from Jifeng doing something despicable again?!"

……

Scar in the corner still had no expression on his face. He just watched everyone indignantly and talking at once about their dissatisfaction.

Qiangzi, who was sitting next to Tiechui, obviously did not have the same good attitude as Scar. He sat there in disbelief, his disappointment and anger, which he could not hide in time, made blood seep out of his clenched fists.

At this time, Xie Yuan, who was finally free of discomfort, came out of the public toilet with a bruised face. He sat on the cart and slowly "rowed" towards the cottage. He met the neighbor sister who was out to fetch water. He nodded slightly as a greeting.

The eldest sister also smiled and nodded perfunctorily, then turned around and muttered, "You dead cripple, I don't know what you eat at home all day long, and you always smell like meat..."

The elder sister cursed in a very low voice. Of course, if it was the former Xie Yuan, he would have been able to hear it clearly. But now, except for his eyes, which still have a slightly superior night vision ability, his other body functions have fallen back to the starting point the moment he was invaded by the neurotoxin, and may even be worse than that of an ordinary person.

Xie Yuan smiled bitterly. Although he couldn't hear anything, his elder sister's puffy cheeks indicated that she must not have said anything nice.

Looks like I have to keep a low profile for a while...

After returning to the cabin, Xie Yuan suggested that Xu Sansan stop going out to scavenge.

She looked puzzled:

"Why? Didn't you say that we should seize every day of the hot season to stock up on supplies?"

Xie Yuan explained:

"On the one hand, it's to keep a low profile, because the two giant eggs I ate before buying the ventilation device may still attract the attention of the neighbors; on the other hand, you need at least 10 days of intensive training..."

Xu Sansan: ...One hour a day, isn’t that enough?

Xie Yuan: Do you think scavenging is safe?

Xu Sansan: ...Okay, okay...

"But it's agreed that it starts from tomorrow!"

"Okay, but today's one-hour training can start now..."

Xu Sansan took out a bunch of nuclear crystals from his cloth bag, one large and seven small, and placed them in front of Xie Yuan, begging:

"For the sake of these nuclear crystals, please let me go today!"

Xie Yuan's eyelids jumped. How did he get so many nuclear crystals? !

Xu Sansan then remembered that she had forgotten to tell Xie Yuan about her search of the mutant white rabbit's food storage cave.

So he told the story in this way and that way.

Xie Yuan looked at the big box of nuclear crystals and found it a little difficult to digest. Although she had prepared herself mentally for her talent in scavenging, but... there were too many nuclear crystals this time!

Xu Sansan checked them one by one:

These seven small nuclear crystals are all low-level energy nuclear crystals with energy values ​​between 7-200, while the large one is a mid-level energy nuclear crystal with an energy value of 300.

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment and explained:

"Have you noticed that the attacks from the alien beasts you have encountered so far can almost all be blocked by the frog skin armor? But this does not mean that the frog skin armor is very powerful, but because the alien beasts you have encountered happen to be ordinary or one-star alien beasts..."

Xu Sansan raised his head suddenly. What? Are the exotic beasts also divided into different levels?

"That's right. Based on the attack power of the alien beasts, we divide them into ordinary, one-star to five-star alien beasts. The areas where the base spacecraft lands each time are areas that have been scouted or cleared in advance by the guards. There may be alien beasts or infected bodies in them, but there are almost no two-star or higher alien beasts, unless there is an accident, such as the time when you and I were seriously injured..."

"The nuclear crystals that can be obtained by one-star beasts are most likely low-level or mid-level energy-related nuclear crystals, while special nuclear crystals are basically found in three-star beasts and above..."

In other words, the monster that laid the egg was at least a three-star monster!

"And the frog skin armor you are wearing now comes from a one-star mutant bullfrog, so if you encounter a two-star monster, you will be killed instantly!"

…………

In the black market, Lao Qin was carrying a heavy metal safe and told the sweaty Qin Ergou:

“Take good care of the store!”

Then he pushed open the small door on the wall.

He was going to find Four Eyes next door and ask Four Eyes to be his guide to the underground auction in the inner city of the base.

In fact, on the day Xu Sansan sold him the antique boots, Lao Qin had been struggling over whether to put the news of the boots directly on the dark web trading section, or to participate in the underground auction in the inner city of the base.

The biggest advantage of putting things on the dark web is, of course, freedom and convenience, but the disadvantages are also obvious, it is very unsafe.

As soon as the information about his last watermelon transaction was released, it directly received the highest number of clicks on the dark web that day. Someone must have paid attention to his dark web account, openly or secretly.

If this antique boots is posted on it again, he is sure that the news will attract more attention. In such a short period of time, the same account has continuously released great treasures, which is too eye-catching. Lao Qin has been in the world for many years, and he is not good at anything else. This cautious approach has always been his survival rule.

So he finally set his sights on the underground auction in the inner city of the base.

Not everyone is eligible to enter the underground auction, but Siyan happened to have a powerful uncle, so he often had the opportunity to enter the auction area to watch, but he had never participated in the auction.

Because he is stingy and reluctant to spend contribution points.

Apart from selling some popular "trendy items", he has no other channels or abilities to purchase any treasures.

So far, Four Eyes has never bought or sold anything through auctions.

As for why he occasionally goes to auctions to watch?

Because Siyan considers himself to be engaged in half a fashion industry, he keeps an eye on the latest tastes of the rich, oh no, it is the tastes and trends they pursue, and changes the sales wording according to their preferences. This is the business philosophy he has summed up in recent years.

As for whether the products in the store need to be updated at any time, given the material conditions in the last days, it is impossible to update new products at any time, but classic models will never go out of style!

So when Lao Qin found him and offered to pay him 30% of the auction proceeds as compensation, he agreed without hesitation.

He was going to watch the auction anyway, so he just had to arrive two hours early and go through the additional process of "selecting items - inspecting items - bidding items". For him, this deal that was sure to make money was something he couldn't let go of.

So when the two arrived at the inner gate of the base, it was not yet 19:00.

Siyan took out the inner city pass and the special invitation card for the auction and handed them to the guards in the inner city. After scanning, the guards conducted a 360-degree, no-blind-angle inspection on Lao Qin. After finding no abnormalities, they let the two enter the inner city.

This was actually Lao Qin’s first time entering the inner city. After passing through the city gate, what he saw were not the tall buildings and streets he had imagined.

It was a dark tunnel.

There were quite a few people queuing in the tunnel, all of whom were preparing to enter the inner city like them.

Lao Qin looked around curiously, but saw nothing except the cold metal wall.

At this moment, a light suddenly appeared from the distance, accompanied by a "whoosh~~~" sound of wind.
