Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 179 Trading Center
Gu Tongwan slept soundly that night. Although the room in the guesthouse was small, he no longer had to worry about external threats. Aoao and Tutu lay on the edge of the bed, and the two dogs and one person immediately filled the entire room.
In the morning, she washed up, found a fruit butter bread and milk for breakfast, and packed her things after breakfast. She didn't have much stuff, just a backpack with some compressed biscuits in it, and some rice and flour in the car.
The cars were parked in the backyard of the guesthouse, which was about several hundred square meters. There was not only Gu Tongwan's SUV, but also several pickup trucks and sedans. They just looked a little broken, and some of the doors even had a large dent. Even so, people who could afford these cars could still show off in the base.
Gu Tongwan's brand new SUV suddenly stood out. When she went to pick up the car in the morning, she found that several waiters from the hotel were standing on one side and looking at her car.
When I saw Gu Tongwan coming out, I suddenly felt like my eyes brightened.
Last night we heard that the girl who was staying here drove a luxury car and was alone with her two dogs. Everyone came early just to wait for a chance to meet this "rich" person.
Today, Gu Tongwan was wearing a blue and white long-sleeved sportswear and a white baseball cap. There were many similar sportswear. Although she had a slender figure, she was not thin, and any clothes fit her very well. Although she was wearing a mask, her pair of sparkling eyes exposed easily made people think that it was a beautiful face.
Everyone stepped back awkwardly, but one of the outgoing girls couldn't help but ask, "Hello, you weren't from our base before, were you?"
Gu Tongwan nodded, "Yeah, I just got here."
The little girl's eyes immediately showed strong interest and curiosity, and she asked hurriedly: "You just arrived, you came alone, it's so dangerous outside, how dare you drive?"
But after asking the question, the girl felt a few glances rolled at her. She thought about it and suddenly blushed. She realized that it was not easy for a person to drive to the base smoothly in this day and age. And in the end times, he could be dressed neatly and have a dog, so he must be from a prominent family. Asking that question seemed a bit revealing.
Gu Tongwan opened the car door, threw his backpack on the passenger seat, and turned to ask the girl, "If I want to redeem points, I have to go to the union, right?"
The girl came back to her senses and nodded, "It's in the points exchange hall on the first floor of the union. It's usually open from 9 am to 4:30 pm, with a one-hour break at noon."
Gu Tongwan took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the little girl. He said "thank you" with a smile and drove away from the guesthouse.
The girl was holding a lollipop that was hard to find in the apocalypse. She was still a little dazed and kept joking with her colleague next to her: "If I had known, I would have talked to her just now. She must be a beautiful, rich woman. She might have a backer in the base."
Gu Tongwan could not hear the jokes coming from the guesthouse. She had agreed with the person who did the real estate transaction yesterday to view the house at 10 a.m., and it was only around 9 a.m. She planned to go to the union. She had some goods that could be exchanged for points. After all, points were required to buy anything at the base. She currently had no job at the base, so the biggest way to get points was to exchange goods for points.
When we arrived at the guild building, there were already quite a few cars parked outside, including many nice cars. Even in the end times, there were still people who could afford sports cars and luxury cars. There were even people who still lived in villas and celebrated by opening champagne in the swimming pool.
The trading center of the union hall on the first floor is very lively. It is adjacent to the supply and marketing cooperative on the left. Points can be used to purchase things at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the redemption of points is mainly concentrated in the trading center.
There are six windows in the trading center, and there are about three or four people queuing at each window.
Gu Tongwan was carrying ten kilograms of rice and two boxes of self-heating hot pot. She estimated that these could be exchanged for about a hundred points.
There are a lot of people here now, so it's not suitable to bring out a large amount of supplies to exchange, as it will easily attract attention. She plans to come again next time after get off work, when there should be fewer people.
Standing in front of Gu Tongwan was a middle-aged man in his forties. There was a snakeskin bag at his feet. No one knew what was inside the bag. The whole snakeskin bag was bulging.
After the middle-aged man arrived, the man carefully moved the snakeskin bag to the counter, wiped the sweat off his face, and then grinned and said to the staff: "Hello, um, mutant beasts can be traded, right?"
The staff member raised an eyebrow, glanced at the inconspicuous snakeskin bag, and said indifferently: "We'll take it, but it depends on what kind of mutant beast it is. We don't want rats, bats, or the four pests from before, and we don't want insects either."
"I know, I know. Comrade, please take a look at it for me first." As he said that, he opened the snakeskin bag, revealing a piece of red comb. However, the comb was very large, at least three or four times larger than an ordinary comb before the end of the world.
Those who come here to earn points have seen mutant beasts, and the mutant beast the man hunted was a mutant pheasant, which was generally between 20 and 30 kilograms in size. Occasionally, it would contain the most common yellow crystal core in its body. Even so, the yellow crystal core could be exchanged for 500 points.
"Did you kill this?" The staff member glanced at the mutant pheasant, his tone not changing much, obviously he had seen it many times.
The man smiled foolishly and stammered, "No, no, it was my nephew who beat me and asked me to exchange it for it."
"The appearance of this mutant pheasant is average. As for the crystal core..." the staff member said as he nodded to another man in an apron behind him. The man was wearing a mask and gloves. He then familiarly used a knife to cut open the belly of the mutant pheasant and quickly took out a yellow crystal core the size of a thumb from it.
The man is the mutant beast anatomist here. Usually, the identification of mutant animals and crystal cores is handed over to professionals like him. Currently, there are less than twenty anatomists of this type in the base. When the position was recruited, it was only open to people with veterinary or surgical majors.
"It's a D-level mutant beast crystal core, but it's too small, worth at most 200 points. The pheasant meat is edible, and can be exchanged for an additional 80 points."
The middle-aged man was a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought he could exchange it for four or five hundred points.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, the staff member asked unhappily, "Are you going to change it or not?"
"Change!" the man said hurriedly.
After exchanging the points for him neatly, the man hurried to the land center on the second floor to pay the rent for next month.
When it came to Gu Tongwan, she didn't ask too many questions and just put the things on the table. When the staff saw such fine white rice, his eyes immediately lit up.
It’s not that rice has never been seen. Occasionally, some people will use the rice stored at home before the end of the world to earn points, but most of them are old rice, and there is a high probability that they have been infested with worms, and they always taste moldy. Therefore, not many people can really exchange rice for points.
The staff member even scooped up a handful and sniffed it carefully. After making sure there was no problem, he pretended to be calm and smiled more than before.
"This rice is of good quality. Where did you get it?"
Gu Tongwan immediately understood that the other party probably thought that she had obtained the rice through some channels, so she was trying to trick her into believing it.
So he just smiled and said, "The ones that were rushed to be harvested in my hometown may have been preserved better and not affected by moisture."
Seeing her like this, the staff knew they couldn't get anything out of her, so they nodded in understanding and said calmly, "Ten kilograms of rice, one hundred points, what else?"
Gu Tongwan then pushed two boxes of self-heating hot pot over.
The staff member took it and looked at it carefully, and found that it had passed the expiration date. However, thinking that this kind of food can basically be eaten as long as it is not spoiled, he said, "Two boxes are 40 points, and the total is 140 points."
Gu Tongwan had no intention of bargaining and simply handed over the name tag. The man swiped the magnetic side of the tag across the machine and the computer screen immediately displayed the remaining points as 140.
During the transaction, she also paid attention to the people trading nearby. The most traded items were rice, flour, grain, oil and various mutant beasts. There were very few people who could easily take out crystal cores. It seemed that the mutant beasts could not be hunted by ordinary people.
After coming out, I saw the person from the land center who I had an appointment with to view the house was already waiting there. He was driving a green three-wheeled motorcycle and sitting on it with a smile on his face, enjoying the envious looks from others.
