"Buy what you want."

Xia Xiaochi bit her lip when she saw these words.

Since birth, the first thing Xia Xiaochi learned was strong survival skills.

The second thing she learned was patience.

The wasteland is short of resources, and it is common for lower-class residents like her to not get what they want.

Rather than "wishes", what people at the bottom should consider now is how to use the resources they have to survive.

So, Xia Xiaochi chose to give up the deal in a second.

Although she really wanted a tool set.

"1.7 grams of energy crystal in exchange for a toolbox."

Xia Xiaochi finally obeyed Fang Ming's orders.

She turned and pulled a handful of broken crystal fragments from her pocket.

The administrator glanced at her.

Then he raised the intercom and gave an order to the person inside.

Those little tools weren't worth much, and he could always use the molds to make more tools if he wanted.

All he wants is a trading method that maintains his health.

"In the future, when you trade with me, I will accept anything that involves energy crystals."

After a while, two men carried a box of tools and put it in Xia Xiaochi's cart.

Xia Xiaochi took a quick look.

Very complete.

Multi-tool, hand saw, screwdriver, hammer, chisel, wrench, drill, welding gun, sandpaper, rope...

The box was full of things Xia Xiaochi wanted.

With these things, she can recycle more garbage and create more practical props in the shelter!

Controlling the expression on his face, Xia Xiaochi nodded slightly.

Transaction is over.

She pulled the cart away.

“I’m looking forward to our next collaboration.”

When she left, Xia Xiaochi's wristband lit up and a familiar man's voice came from her wrist.

The administrator, who was sitting with his legs crossed, sat up straight upon hearing the sound.

"Me too," he said.

"By the way, before I leave, I want to ask something."

Fang Ming's voice sounded again, and Xia Xiaochi stopped cooperatively.

The administrator frowned and said, "The information I have here is not cheap..."

"Whether to answer or not is up to you."

After a pause, the voice continued:

"Are there any mutant species appearing during the day near your Shelter No. 2737?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the administrator's pupils shrank.

The scar on his forehead wrinkled together, and although he tried hard to control his facial expression, the sweat that seeped out of his nervousness still betrayed him.

"……No."

The words fell.

The mahogany door creaked shut.

The girl wearing fluid nerves finally left.

The administrator slumped back into his chair.

He exhaled deeply, and sweat from his forehead dripped down his temples.

"Brother Scar, haven't the scavengers been saying that mutant species appear during the day? Why don't you tell them? This is a big deal."

The younger brother next to the administrator was confused. He didn't even know what his boss was nervous about at that moment.

"You know nothing!"

Xiao La kicked his younger brother on the leg and cursed angrily.

"Do you know how Shelter 0331 disappeared?!"

"If they find out we have that thing here... then we'll be the next 0331!"

"If anyone dares to talk about this again, I'll fucking kill him!!"

Chapter 42 Must Buy for the Little Heroine

Finished the last piece of chicken drumstick.

Fang Ming looked at the satisfied expression on the little heroine's face and smiled as well.

This is right.

If you want something, buy it.

It’s not like I can’t afford it.

Just now, when Xia Xiaochi gave up using the energy crystal to trade tools, Fang Ming saw the disappointment that flashed across her eyes.

Fang Ming found it hard to resist such a look.

In the past, when his sister gave him this look, it was the ultimate killer.

Fang Ming will try his best to satisfy his sister's request.

So, when facing Xia Xiaochi, he thought the same.

It’s not like our family can’t afford it.

Buy it!

"Brother Fang Ming, do you know the price of this shelter?"

Xia Xiaochi went downstairs in the direction he came from.

Each shelter lacks different resources, so the price exchange rates vary greatly.

Xia Xiaochi was very curious as to why Fang Ming knew the prices of ammunition here.

When the administrator said 1:10, Xia Xiaochi was ready to accept it, but Fang Ming insisted that the price offered by the other party was too low.

"Of course I don't know." Fang Ming answered frankly.

"Then why..."

"Because he looks like a profiteer," Fang Ming said, "in movies, TV shows, or novels, people with his appearance are always cunning and sly... so I used a little bluffing to scare him."

Fang Ming's thinking was very clear at that time.

They can be not afraid of Xia Xiaochi, and they can also be not afraid of the man behind Xia Xiaochi.

However, the 'unknown force' is definitely a bomb for them.

They had already seen the silver marrow exoskeleton on Xia Xiaochi's legs.

Suppose, this girl wearing high-tech equipment is just a slave under a "mysterious boss".

Then... this 'big boss' must be extremely awesome in their eyes.

Fang Ming took advantage of people's fear of the unknown to get the other party to offer a higher exchange rate.

This kind of mentality is somewhat similar to the "big boss version of Fang Ming" in Xia Xiaochi's eyes before.

but……

There was one thing that made Fang Ming feel concerned.

That is, when he asked if there were any mutant species appearing nearby during the day.

The other party's reaction was wonderful.

At that time, Fang Ming really just wanted to find out the situation. He wanted to see where the mutant species that appeared near 0331 had infiltrated.

Now it seems……

It’s really hard to say.

Also, the administrator lied.

"Let's leave quickly. We have to go back before dark."

Thinking of this, Fang Ming pressed the microphone button and urged Xia Xiaochi.

Xia Xiaochi responded. She glanced at the time on her wristband and had already made a plan in her mind.

"There's one more thing we didn't buy."

When passing the second floor of the shelter, Xia Xiaochi stopped.

She did not choose to go back to the bottom floor, but walked straight into the narrow passage on the second floor.

Just now outside the shelter, Xia Xiaochi saw many farmers with tanned skin. Based on her understanding of the structure of Shelter 0331, there must be a large plantation on this floor.

In this devastated wasteland, plantations are essential for all shelters.

All residents of the shelter rely on this area for their livelihood.

Push open the rusty iron door.
