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

The next morning, on the 336th year of the Star Calendar, the 111th day of the Scorching Season, at 09:45, Xu Sansan came to the official contribution point exchange office at the South City Gate carrying a large sack. She went straight to the material exchange counter.

Probably because the windy season was approaching, many people were preparing supplies for it, so there was already a long line at the supply exchange office today. Xu Sansan chose a line with fewer people and stood at the end.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind:

"Xiao Xu!"

Xu Sansan turned around and saw the Marshal blinking his bright eyes and waving at her enthusiastically at the door of the exchange office. Next to him stood Hu Ba, Yu Ge and Xiao Jieba.

If this had happened when she had just come here, if she encountered someone who greeted her enthusiastically in broad daylight, she would have ignored him regardless of whether she knew him or not. Not only would she have ignored him, she would have also had to find a chance to sneak away.

After all, I was still very wary of everything around me at that time. In addition, my own strength was weak and I had no means of self-protection, so I was afraid of enemies wherever I went.

Although it cannot be said that she is absolutely safe now, at least her own strength has been greatly improved. Moreover, she now carries with her the health data and optical computer data shielding device designed by Xie Yuan, so her personal information will no longer be easily stolen.

Xu Sansan touched the headscarf wrapped around her face. Fortunately, only her eyes were exposed. She didn't know how the general could recognize her at the first sight every time.

She curved her eyebrows and waved to the four members of the Quartet team, silently greeting them.

Don't make loud noises in public places.

It’s better to keep a low profile as much as possible.

The four members of the Quartet team quickly came behind Xu Sansan and lined up at the end of the line with her.

"How are the supplies for the windy season being prepared?"

Hu Ba shook his eight-cornered beard under his nostrils, looking like a leader comforting his subordinates.

Xu Sansan pointed to the material exchange office and replied simply:

"Just exchange some reinforcement nails and plates, and it will be almost done."

Hu Ba nodded, and then introduced the two politely:

"We are here to exchange for nutrient solution. Although we have accumulated a lot of food recently thanks to you, we still need to make sufficient food reserves. Xiao Xu, you also need to think more about the upcoming snow season!"

Xu Sansan always accepted and believed in the experience shared by such people.

So she nodded and immediately sent a message to Xie Yuan's "little button".

Although classmate Xi Yeyuan already has an optical computer, the two are still more accustomed to communicating through a local area network. On the one hand, it is because they are used to it. On the other hand, the transmission between optical computers is likely to be interfered with by the outside world or technically monitored. The parts currently in Xie Yuan's hands can only encrypt the local area network between the two of them, so the two unanimously decided to continue to use the "little button" to communicate in the future.

Xie Yuan's message came back quickly:

"You can buy a batch of nutrient solution for backup."

At this time, Yu Ge suddenly came over, patted Xu Sansan's thin shoulders, and gossiped with a beaming face:

"Have you heard? The night before yesterday, a major case occurred in the smuggling cave in Wanku Mountain! The patrol team went to search the cave, but ended up being wiped out by a mysterious person! All the nuclear crystals in the warehouse cave were emptied! So cool!"

The Marshal blinked his bright eyes and came over quickly, adding with gesticulations:

"It is said that this mysterious person has a special nuclear crystal that can directly control the mechanical dog! That's awesome!"

The little stutterer stretched his neck to join the gossip group and made a rare long sigh:

"Too…too…powerful…awesome! Ken…must…be…a…skilled…man!"

The technical expert Xu Sansan blinked his innocent eyes, and could only chuckle a few times, echoing the crowd, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

At this time, Hu Ba sighed and complained:

“This mysterious man is really good at stealing holes!

The patrol team got nothing that night, and it seemed like they were hit by some biological weapon!

They have been patrolling and squatting in Wanku Mountain 24 hours a day these days. Now the smuggling cave has directly stopped all transactions. We probably won’t have to go there tomorrow. The energy problem can’t be solved again, oh!”

The Marshal also sighed:

"The rewards for missions in the windy season and snowy season are both quite substantial. If we can't solve the energy problem, our team will probably have to take a break during the windy season!"

The little stutterer spread his hands:

“I can’t…can’t…make any money!”

Xu Sansan touched her nose, feeling really guilty and ashamed. It could be said that the suspension of the smuggling trade in Wankushan was caused by her and Xie Yuan!

So she approached Hu Ba mysteriously, waved her hand, signaling him to lower his head, and whispered in his ear:

"I have some ways to get energy core crystals. The price is 1 to 1.2. What do you think?"

At this time, Yu Ge, the Marshal, and the stutterer, who had already consciously put their ears close to the corner to listen openly, felt their hearts tremble at the same time, and they all opened their lips in unison, talking in silent riddles -

“1 to 1.2?!”

“It’s not 1 to 1.5?!”

"This... is... so... cheap?!"

Hu Ba's big thick eyebrows kept shaking, and he kept winking at Xu Sansan.

Xu Sansan looked at the eyebrows and beard shaking up and down at the same time, and felt a little dizzy for a moment. This skill would be difficult for ordinary people to accomplish without the blessing of 100,000 volts.

Seeing that Xu Sansan didn't catch his signal at all, Hu Ba had no choice but to reveal a mysterious look and whispered:

"Xiaoyu's way, right?"

Xu Sansan looked at Yu Ge uncertainly, then revealed a hint of doubt.

Seeing that Xu Sansan didn't respond, Hu Ba thought she was deliberately hiding something, so he nudged Xu Sansan with his elbow, with an expression that said, "You don't have to hide it so hard, I understand," and reminded her:

"Yuan?"

Xu Sansan said "Oh" silently. It turned out that they were talking about Yu'an. She thought about it and realized that it was indeed Xie Yuan who took her to the smuggling cave. He also led her to find the storage cave, and he was the one who made the deal with the stall owner.

Well, that could definitely be considered his way, so he coughed lightly and nodded imperceptibly.

Hu Bayi took a look and saw that it was true!

He knew that this boy Yu An must be from a prominent family!

Such channels can be easily mastered!

Oh...it seems I need to find an opportunity to do some ideological work on him again!

Well, well... Just being a non-staff member of the Quartet Team seems like a waste of my talent. At the very least... I have to have the title of an important non-staff member!

Hu Bayi, with an expression that showed I had seen through everything, was immersed in his plan of "robbing people" in the future.

Yu Ge, the Marshal, and the Little Stutterer, who had been listening to Xu Sansan and Hu Ba, looked at each other and started to wink at each other.

“He has a car!”

"He has a way!"

"He... still... still has... the... fighting... power!"

Well... we have to win him over!

The three of them finally looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

So Xu Sansan and Hu Ba quickly reached an agreement on the sale of the nuclear crystal, but the specific delivery time was set during the wind season.

After all, the Quartet team had never taken on a D-level mission, so they couldn't say for sure how much nuclear crystals they would need.

As a few people chatted, the line soon moved to Xu Sansan's turn.

She spent 480 contribution points to rent two sets of reinforcement nails and plates at the material exchange office, one for the cabin and one for the studio and training room next door.

Because it was a rental, an additional 2,000 contribution points were paid as a deposit. Of course, for people who cannot afford a high deposit, the base also allows them to provide their address coordinates in the shantytown, and after on-site verification, they can rent to them without a deposit.

But for Xu Sansan, who has privacy concerns, if the problem can be solved with money, it should be kept at the monetary level as much as possible. No matter what, it cannot be elevated to the level of personal information - the address coordinates cannot be leaked at will!

Then, based on the suggestions of Hu Ba and Xie Yuan, she spent 1,800 contribution points to buy 60 bottles of basic nutrient solution that would expire in 150 days, 30 bottles for her and for Xie Yuan respectively.

The shelf life of the nutrient solution is long enough. If we don’t consider the remaining 10 days in the hot season, it can almost cover the entire 60 days of the rainy season and 90 days of the snowy season.

After everyone had exchanged the supplies they needed, Xu Sansan said goodbye to the Sifang team.

When she returned to the cabin with the cart, she received an urgent notice from the private army camp:

Boss Sui requires all private soldiers to gather at the private soldier camp before 10:30!

Xu Sansan looked at the information on the computer and couldn't help but frown. What big deal had happened?
