Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

As soon as the manager of the trading center entered the hall today, people from the research institute followed him.

The manager frowned, then bit his cheek as if he had thought of something, and glared fiercely at all the employees standing on both sides in front of him.

The trading center had indeed planted people from the research institute. Otherwise, how could the research institute, which had always been waiting for the delivery of crystal cores every day, go against its norm and send staff over before eight in the morning?

Three cars came to the research institute, one of which was a white Toyota sedan. A man wearing glasses got out of the car. We received news last night that the trading center had received a red crystal core with an initial estimated grade of between A and S.

The research institute hasn't obtained crystal cores above grade A for a long time. Even if the guard team wants to get a grade A red crystal core, they have to dispatch at least a company's combat power, and the higher the level of the mission, the higher the loss rate.

In the last A-level Salamander mission, a total of forty-nine guard team members were dispatched, but one person was killed, twelve were seriously injured, twenty-one were slightly injured, and less than half of the number managed to escape unscathed.

As for the other red crystal cores, only the top 30 guard team members can hunt them. Generally, people with strong superpowers can digest the crystal cores on their own to achieve the effect of synchronous alienation.

Most of the people in the research institute are scientific maniacs. Not only do they have a passionate admiration for people with special powers, they also instinctively maintain a sense of awe and fear towards people with high-level special powers.

But these did not prevent them from continuing their research on the crystal core. They also wanted to know what the limits of human superpowers were.

It is currently known that some of China's two ace forces, the "Hunters" and the "Light Chasers", are able to influence nearby creatures on a large scale, and even have the ability to influence people's thinking ability. If these abilities continue to evolve in the future, will they surpass humans and become other beings?

Although the institute is full of lunatics, they are restricted by the rules of the base and some selfish scientists dare not step into the restricted area because there have been cases of people with special powers retaliating against the institute staff before. This self-destructive approach will drag a scientist who used him as a test subject into hell.

The person from the research institute was called Chen Zhoumu. After he had the crystal core taken away, he smiled and said to the manager, "I want to see the retrieved surveillance. After all, the owner of the crystal core is very likely to be a high-level psychic."

Just by taking a look at it, he knew that it was at least an A-grade crystal core. It was definitely rare for someone to be able to hunt alone. If he hadn't joined a civilian hunter organization yet, Chen Zhoumu would naturally want to recruit him to the research institute.

The manager has never liked dealing with people from the research institute. He thinks these people are a bunch of lunatics. Humans are like little white mice in front of them and are only defined as "valuable" or "worthless".

The manager also smiled and pretended to be tactful. "Oh, Academician Chen, I'm really sorry. The owner of the crystal core here asked us to keep her identity confidential, and she has signed a confidentiality agreement with the center. So even if it's the research institute, we can't disclose the customer's information."

The trading center has always had a rule that important customers' information can choose to sign a confidentiality agreement, which reaches a relative condition for both parties. The customer will unconditionally choose to trade important materials with the trading center, and in return, the trading center needs to keep the customer's identity information confidential.

It was already past ten o'clock last night when Gu Tongwan returned to the guesthouse. He then remembered the phone number of the trading center and called it with the idea of ​​giving it a try. He did not realize that the trading center had actually closed at that time.

Unexpectedly, because of the incident with the red crystal core, the trading center has arranged personnel to be on duty 24 hours a day for the past two days.

As a result, someone actually answered Gu Tongwan's call. After repeatedly confirming that the number plate in Gu Tongwan's hand belonged to the owner of the red crystal core, the staff immediately expressed their desire to pay a visit. As you can imagine, they were naturally rejected.

The staff member acted rashly and quickly contacted the center manager. After receiving the news, the manager hurriedly called Gu Tongwan, and the content of the conversation involved a confidentiality agreement. However, in the customer list of the trading center, Gu Tongwan's information was encrypted and was upgraded to VVVIP in an instant.

This is a win-win situation for both parties. Gu Tongwan can get discounts on items purchased at the trading center, and his personal information can be kept confidential. The A-level crystal cores he obtains will be processed first at the trading center.

High-level crystal cores are extremely precious. If they are put on the black market auction house, they will probably attract the covetousness of some people. After all, there are all kinds of people there, and Gu Tongwan doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. Reaching an agreement with the trading center at the moment will do more harm than good.

In addition to upgrading her membership, the trading center sent a confirmation message to her mobile phone. The message was sent using the trading center's official account and required her to fill in her personal information. Her brand name card number also needed to be verified. After confirmation, they said that they had deposited 30 percent of the crystal core price into her brand name card, which was at least 3,000 points.

Gu Tongwan raised her eyebrows, thinking that the other party wouldn't worry about sending the money to the wrong person, but then she changed her mind and realized that she had just verified the identity information, and the other party was a government agency under the base after all, so they would naturally have a way to find her. Besides, the other party was begging her to cooperate, so she had to show some sincerity.

However, the agreement needed to be signed in person, so Gu Tongwan set the time for noon the next day.

***

After dealing with the crystal core issue, Gu Tongwan held a piece of pineapple mochi in his hand while counting the supplies in the space.

The items to be traded tomorrow night are: 150 kilograms of apples, small watermelons, and kilograms of strawberries, along with some braised meat that she packed in glass jars, a total of glass jars, each containing about grams. The braised meat was made with pork during Kongcheng's free time.

Others include 50 kilograms of fine noodles and colorful glutinous rice.

After preparing all the things, Gu Tongwan slept particularly soundly that night.

After getting up the next morning, Gu Tongwan went to the yard as usual.

In the yard, Liu Jinde and several villagers were busy with their bare chests. They arrived at around seven in the morning. The foundation of the yard had already been built by the previous owner. After repairing and raising the wall yesterday, they planned to start building the first floor today. Several villagers were measuring the specific square footage with a tape measure.

"Doctor Gu, you're here?" A villager greeted her with a smile when he saw her getting out of the car.

Liu Jinde also came up after hearing the noise, wiped his sweat, frowned as he looked at the pile of cement that had just been mixed in front of him, and asked, "Xiao Wan, you came just in time. The entire yard is a total of 280 square meters. I plan to build a 90-square-meter house, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a guest room below. For the upstairs, I want to make it into three bedrooms, one of which is a small room of about 8 square meters, which can be used as a study or baby room in the future. The other two rooms, one with an independent bathroom and balcony, is 22 square meters in total, and the other is 13 square meters. In this way, the living room will be bigger."

As Liu Jinde spoke, he took out a design drawing, which he had drawn last night according to his own ideas. Having worked on the construction site for several years, Liu Jinde was able to draw beautiful design drawings.

Gu Tong pointed out a few places and asked Liu Jinde to make appropriate modifications according to his ideas. He also asked him to set up a small corridor about one meter wide and three meters long on the first floor, where generators and solar panels could be placed.

The weather has been staying in the 20s recently, which is the most suitable weather for working. It is not too hot. Otherwise, working in extremely hot weather will make people faint after a while.

While the house was being built in full swing, Liu Hun stood on the balcony of the villa, biting a tasteless apple and thinking, "This family is really rich. This yard is really big."
