Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 69 Sister Xiaoying (Supplement 5)

In the blink of an eye, I've earned 7.8 Star Coins, bringing my savings to 9. Unfortunately, I can't keep this money; I need to convert it into combat power as soon as possible.

"Old Ma, I'd like to buy a few more things, please write them down."

"Well, you said."

"Four first aid kits, five adrenaline pills, five RPG-32 rocket grenades, three explosive grenades, and 2000 rounds of Wind Whisperer ammunition. I need a large stockpile!"

"Wow, you're buying wholesale?"

Old Ma couldn't help but complain, then kept pressing the calculator and said, "It'll cost 74500 star coins in total. How will you pay?"

"For large orders, could you round down the price?" I asked.

"Nima..."

Old Ma started sweating: "You mean to wipe out the 4500 yuan change?"

"if not?"

I crossed my arms and said, "We combat players fight to the death outside, and we can easily die. Is it easy for us? You, a shrewd businessman, just sit here all day typing on your keyboard. We're all players, shouldn't we show some consideration for each other?"

"Damn, I can't stand your mouth, I'm really scared of you."

Old Ma said, "Let it be wiped out."

"Hehe, it has to be my Brother Ma!"

"You boy!"

I skillfully pulled out the pack of Jinliqun cigarettes, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Lao Ma.

"Fuck..."

Old Ma looked at the cigarette in front of him: "You're using this to test your cadres?"

"if not……"

"Damn it, I'll go get the goods for you. I'm really scared of you!"

Soon after, the goods were all prepared and filled my extradimensional storage space. At that moment, I finally felt a sense of security!

At this moment, inside the interdimensional storage space, the Wind Whisperer has a whopping 2500 bullets, enough to last for a long time, 10 explosive grenades, 9 RPG grenades, 5 first aid kits, 10 adrenaline pills, and a bunch of hemostatic drugs and bandages. This means that there will be no need to resupply for a very long time.

Moreover, such a large ammunition reserve will greatly enhance individual combat capabilities, enabling them to adapt to even protracted and high-intensity battles!

……

Leaving the player black market, on the way home.

I glanced at the time; it was already 11:30 p.m. If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Qingying should already be asleep, so my deal with Zhang Ruolin shouldn't disturb her.

"Squeak~~~"

When I pushed open the living room door, there were lights on inside.

"???"

Lin Qingying was processing documents when she looked up at me with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She seemed to want to ask me why I came back so late today, but she wouldn't ask that, since our relationship didn't seem to have reached that point yet.

"I was busy with something with a friend, so I got back late," I explained.

"Ah."

She nodded, without saying anything more.

This made me feel a little awkward; perhaps I shouldn't have explained anything to her at all.

"Dong dong dong~~~"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Lin Qingying looked surprised.

I hurriedly got up and opened the door, and sure enough, Zhang Ruolin, dressed in a slightly alluring manner, was standing at the door.

"Ding Han".

She looked excited.

"Ahem, be more dignified."

I gave her a warning look, then led her into the living room, saying, "Lin Qingying, this is my friend, Zhang Ruolin. Ruolin, this is my roommate, Lin Qingying."

"Hello."

Lin Qingying nodded subconsciously.

Zhang Ruolin smiled and said, "Ding Han, your roommate is really beautiful... I was particularly amazed when I saw her last time."

I found myself in an awkward situation again.

"Alright, come with me, I'll get the things for you."

"okay!"

I opened the room door, then opened the trade window and put the Tier 2 Blue Wind Whisperer there.

Zhang Ruolin probably felt that it wasn't right to get something for nothing, so she put a bag of Want Want rice crackers in her trade section.

Damn... I'm speechless!
Extradimensional storage space is so precious, and this thing actually stores snow cakes in it?!

Without a doubt, she probably even keeps miscellaneous items like toner, makeup remover, and skin-awakening lotion in her other-dimensional storage space!

"Crack!"

I pushed the door open again, and the transaction was quick, taking less than 20 seconds.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. I won't bother you anymore."

Zhang Ruolin waved and smiled, "Goodbye, Lin Qingying~~~"

"what?"

Lin Qingying seemed surprised that Zhang Ruolin would greet her, so she looked up, nodded slightly awkwardly, and smiled, "Goodbye, come visit sometime..."

"Okay, I'll definitely come!"

Zhang Ruolin has passed away.

Lin Qingying was a little confused, not expecting that the other party would take her casual and polite remark seriously.

……

At night, lying in bed.

My mind was a bit of a mess, so I opened WeChat and sent a message to "Dragon Lord": "Dragon Lord, are you asleep?"

"Ding Han, is something wrong so late?"

"Ah."

I replied, "Tonight, while I was in the city, I was assassinated by an agent of the Dark Tide organization. Luckily, I escaped unharmed. I'd like to ask you about the current situation between Dark Tide and Xicheng. Are they planning to attack Xicheng?"

"The situation is a bit grim." Gun Out Like a Dragon sent a voice message: "Let me put it this way, Xicheng's location is indeed quite important. Not only does it border the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, but it also has a very important outlet to the sea. The Dark Tide Organization has wanted to devour Xicheng, this so-called neutral force, for quite some time now. However, the lord of Xicheng, the Burning Wind Dulin, has long had very close ties with the Crimson Dragon Kingdom. This is the reason why the Dark Tide has not yet made a move."

Soon, he sent a second voice message: "However, according to my guess, the Dark Tide organization is constantly consolidating the settlements in the wilderness, and its power is growing. Its ambition is about to be uncontrollable. It's only a matter of time before they take action against Xicheng. The attitude of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom is rather ambiguous. It is said that someone there has stated that no matter how the Dark Tide fights with the Xicheng army in the wilderness, the Crimson Dragon Kingdom will not interfere. But if the Dark Tide wants to devour Xicheng, the Crimson Dragon Kingdom will definitely not sit idly by."

I frowned and replied, "It seems the Dark Tide organization is repeatedly testing the limits of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, trying to gauge its bottom line. That's probably what they mean."

"Yes."

"Many players from Xicheng are currently fleeing, feeling there's not much to gain here," said Spear Like a Dragon. "However, I sense an impending storm. Xicheng may soon be drawn into an undercurrent of conflict with the Crimson Dragon Kingdom. As players, we have the opportunity to reap considerable benefits from this turmoil."

"Yes, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Alliance Leader Long!"

"polite!"

After that, I put my phone next to my pillow and went to sleep.

……

The next day.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yingzi took over the shift on time. She was radiant and full of youthful energy. Zhao Yihang said that her boyfriend had not left recently and had been staying with her in Xicheng.

"Ding Han, let's go get the goods!"

Lu Xiaobei was even more excited than I was; he had already called a taxi.

The taxi driver honked his horn repeatedly outside: "Are you going or not? Stop dawdling!"

I felt a wave of embarrassment and got into the car with Lu Xiaobei.

After arriving at Zhou Beichuan's factory, we went straight to the workshop.

After the prosthetic limb is removed from the machine, the shaping is complete and perfectly matches the principles of human biomechanics. Grandpa Li will definitely feel very comfortable wearing it. With the addition of a nerve sensor patch, the prosthetic limb can sense nerve and muscle twitches and make the movements that the owner wants. Although it is impossible for everything to be normal, pedaling a tricycle will definitely be no problem.

"Great, I'll carry you, I'll carry you."

Lu Xiaobei was overjoyed.

So, I handed her my prosthetic leg, then gave Zhou Beichuan a cigarette, thanked her repeatedly, and left.

Community.

After Lu Xiaobei and I entered the residential area, we ran into Li Xiang, who had just finished school. He was standing in front of the arcade machine at the convenience store, watching others play. He probably didn't have any coins, so he could only watch.

That's true. Grandpa Li makes a living by collecting recyclables, and he doesn't earn much money to begin with, let alone have money for this kind of thing.

"Ding Han".

When Li Xiang saw me, he looked excited: "Can you teach me Zhuge Liang's Infinite Ice Sword Combo today?"

"I'm busy today. Has your grandfather come back yet?"

"Not yet, it will be about half an hour later."

"Alright, then let's wait."

Li Xiang nodded vigorously, then looked at Lu Xiaobei beside him. After staring at her for a long time, he suddenly pointed and asked, "Sister, are you Ding Han's girlfriend?"

"what?"

Lu Xiaobei's pretty face turned bright red: "No...no?"

"I hope not..."

Li Xiang, ever the innocent child, said, "Brother Ding Han already has Sister Xiao Ying, he can't be fickle!"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

I felt a chill run down my spine and said, "You're just a kid, you don't know anything, mind your own business!"

"Oh!"

Li Xiang could tell I was a little angry, so he stopped talking.

Who is Sister Xiaoying?

Lu Xiaobei took a bag of chocolates from the shelf hanging outside the convenience store and handed it to him, smiling, "Li Xiang, tell Xiaobei, who is that Xiaoying sister?"

"Sister Xiaoying lives upstairs too. She's such a nice person, and she often treats me to fried chicken!"

"Really?"

Lu Xiaobei fell into deep thought and did not pursue the matter further.

Just then, the sound of a bicycle bell came from afar. Grandpa Li was pushing his tricycle back. His right leg was still the same as always, with a prosthetic leg made of a wooden stick tied with tattered cotton cloth and straw. It was clear that he was suffering a lot.

"Is that Grandpa Li?" Lu Xiaobei asked.

"Ah."

I nodded.

Her eyes instantly turned red.

"Grandpa Li!"

I stepped forward to help push the cart and said with a smile, "Hurry home and try out the prosthetic leg I made for you to see if it works."

"Yeah!"

Lu Xiaobei hugged the prosthetic leg with a smile on his face.

In the shantytown, Grandpa Li, having put on his prosthetic leg, took a few steps and his face was full of joy: "It works...it really works, it's like my leg has grown back. Ding Han, did you spend a lot of money on this prosthetic leg...?"

"Nothing."

I quickly said, "Ask Xiao Bei. We picked this prosthetic leg up from the junkyard. I did some minor repairs and modifications. It didn't cost much."

"How can this be possible..."

Grandpa Li hurriedly took money out of his pocket and pulled out two 100-yuan bills, which were probably all his money.

I repeatedly declined, and even pretended to be angry, before Grandpa Li finally took the money back.

At the same time, I also saw Lu Xiaobei secretly slip a wad of money under Grandpa Li's pillow.

……

"Ding Han".

Walking in the neighborhood, Lu Xiaobei said softly, "I really want to help them, but I don't know how. I feel a little sad."

"You've already helped a lot; that's enough."

"Um……"

Just then, a ding-dong sound rang in my ears, signaling the mission was finally complete!

[Congratulations! You have completed the daily quest "Grandpa Li's Prosthetic Limb" (Rank A), and have received the following rewards: Character Experience +400000, "Leap Slash" (Rank A Skill Manual)!]
