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

Xu Sansan's heart was surging with emotion, but his face remained calm and composed:

"In other words, if it is a piece of pollution-free high-purity salt crystal, it will be sold at a sky-high price?"

Lao Qin's passionate emotions had not yet completely subsided, but when he heard her sudden question, his heart trembled again:

What does she mean by this? Is there still something uncontaminated in her hand...?

Lao Qin did not dare to think further. He just lowered his head stiffly and looked at Xu Sansan who was sitting on the chair. Then he asked tremblingly:

"You... still have... nothing..."

Xu Sansan heard this and thought, "Oh no!" He quickly interrupted Lao Qin's imagination.

It's mainly because of his amazing reasoning ability, which is always so accurate that it's frightening.

She didn't dare to keep exposing herself like this. She thought about the dozen or so salt crystals in her pocket and decided not to reveal everything. So she took a step back and took the initiative to reveal:

"I have three slightly contaminated high-purity salt crystals here. Although they are not as good as the uncontaminated ones, they are definitely rare materials. So, please give me a real price..."

Finally, after careful consideration, Lao Qin completed the transaction for 3600 contribution points.

"Well...what do you want to buy today?"

Lao Qin rubbed his hands, it was finally his turn to collect the money.

Xu Sansan raised his hand to stop:

"Don't worry, take a look at this..."

Then he took out a well-preserved plastic card album from his cloth bag...

Lao Qin paused as he was about to take the money, and raised his eyebrows:

Is there still a baby here?!

Then Xu Sansan opened the cover of the card book, and what caught his eye were nine first-generation Ultraman cards reflecting golden light...

"This...this is..."

Lao Qin’s eyes widened instantly, and he stared at the card book, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Xu Sansan raised his eyes, his eyes lit up:

Yo!

Is this... recognized?

Very good!

I didn't expect that the aesthetics of the end of the world would also be dominated,

This makes bargaining easier!

Lao Qin turned around and went upstairs. He quickly took out his silver detector and scanned the card book:

"Ding! A treasure from the old century, the name of the collection is unknown!"

Lao Qin frowned. The name of the collection was unknown, which made things difficult.

How can he go to the underground auction to buy high-quality goods, and how can he introduce high-quality goods...

Xu Sansan looked at Lao Qin's worried look and sighed:

Hey!

It turns out that Ultraman is not popular in the end times.

Then how should I make an offer later?

Really, it was all for nothing...

but……

Her eyes turned, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She stared closely into Lao Qin's eyes and uttered the question from the depths of her soul:

"Do you believe in light?"

Lao Qin's hands holding the card book froze, his eyes flickered, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in his chest.

Is this the power of faith?

He looked at the card book in his hand seriously. The characters on the cards seemed alive, shining with golden light and full of righteousness.

Then he spoke solemnly and seriously:

"4000 contribution points, I'll take it!"

Xu Sansan's mouth was wide open, almost bursting with laughter...

4000 points!

This is a big order!

Finally, Xu Sansan was here with Lao Qin again——

She spent 1800 points to buy a set of second-hand solar panels and power storage devices that were said to be the latest models. The power storage devices were expensive, so she directly asked for the largest capacity.

400 points, bought a shadowless transmission board, which is said to be able to transmit the electricity in the power storage device directly to various devices through the dark matter in the air. When she heard the name, she thought it was very magical. Who told her that she had never seen this kind of black technology in her previous life? So she waved her hand and bought it directly;

50 points, bought two light bulbs;

2600 points, I got a second-hand home air-drying vacuum machine, this thing is really expensive;

200 points, one set of vacuum packaging bags;

At 1800, I was fooled into buying a second-hand small fresh air circulation device. The main reason was that since there was electricity in the cabin, there was no need to keep the door open all the time. However, it was necessary to maintain air circulation in the house. The ventilation device I bought before only had the function of deodorization and could not ensure effective air circulation, so I was successfully fooled.

490 points, and bought 48 metal splicing plates and 10 expandable metal pipes, which are used to expand the house...

At this point, the 7600 contribution points I just got were instantly reduced to less than 300 points. Adding the originally pitiful balance, there are only about 500 points left in total...

Xu Sansan touched his chin.

She suspected that she was tricked by Lao Qin.

But there is no evidence...

Before leaving, Xu Sansan spent another 50 points to buy five bottles of nutrient solution that were about to expire. Well, when scavenging outside, nutrient solution is more conspicuous than compressed biscuits.

At this time, Qin Ergou came down from upstairs and asked excitedly, "Is there any business you need my help with?"

Xu Sansan pointed to a pile of supplies in the corner:

"Send it to the public toilet at this coordinate in the shantytown, 100 contribution points, how about that?"

Qin Ergou stared at the pile of supplies that was as high as a small mountain. He was stunned for a moment, and then bargained:

"Well...I usually don't leave the base city..."

Xu Sansan understood the key point and asked straightforwardly:

"Then let's talk about the unusual price."

Qin Ergou swallowed his saliva and smiled innocently:

"20 dried insect eggs. I'll make an exception for once, hehe."

Xu Sansan took a deep breath and asked, "Why don't you go and grab it?"

"Dry insect eggs won't work,"

Then he rolled his eyes:

“How about lotus root?”

Old Qin was shocked. He sold his son so readily that he quickly answered:

“15 kilograms of lotus root!”

Xu Sansan immediately took off the board:

"Deal, remember to bring a steelyard when the time comes."

Qin Ergou drooled, looking at Xu Sansan's limping figure gradually going away with a look of despair:

"My dried insect eggs..."

After Xu Sansan left, Lao Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He sat alone behind the counter, reviewing the conversation between the two of them. Feeling that he had made no mistakes, he habitually glanced at the foot of the table:

Xie Yuan repeatedly emphasized that in order to prevent Xu Sansan from being targeted, he must appear cunning rather than upright... Fortunately, he is a profiteer, so for a black market veteran like him, this is just a true portrayal of himself!

Lao Qin once again glanced at the legs of the counter...

Then he quietly took out his small account book from the drawer, turned to the middle page, and added the salt crystal and the card book below the antique shoes. As for the amount that needed to be distributed, he would decide after the auction...

…………

At 16:21:45, Qin Ergou pushed his shabby public toilet cleaning vehicle, loaded with supplies under a plastic sheet, and quickly walked out of the South City Gate.

"Hey! Ergou!"

Qiangzi and his four companions had just completed their mission and were returning.

Qin Ergou smiled innocently and greeted:

"Brother Qiangzi, Brother Tiechui, Brother Maji, Brother Alang!"

"Where are we going?"

Qiangzi patted Qin Ergou on the shoulder and casually expressed his concern.

"Hey! I took a job and just did it blindly, hehe..."

Qiangzi's eyebrows twitched slightly. Ever since Lao Qin and his son escaped death five years ago, they have never left the base city again. Now they have actually taken a job outside the city...

He glanced at the plastic sheet on the cleaning vehicle, but without showing it on his face, he asked tentatively:

"It looks like a big job..."

Qin Ergou scratched his head:

"I dare not say it's a big job in front of Brother Qiangzi,"

Then he said awkwardly:

"If, if there is a chance at Liming, I will definitely..."

Tiechui smiled and pounded his chest:

"You've practiced well, kid. If there's a chance, we'll definitely think of you!"

Qin Ergou smiled foolishly and nodded:

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Hammer!"

They said goodbye quickly.

Not far away, in a corner outside the base city, Scar looked at Qin Ergou's receding figure and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Shantytown?"
