Chapter 137 Dimensional Pocket and the Strange Old Man
Lei Jun and Yu Fei felt incredibly annoyed, like they'd swallowed a fly, but they were helpless against Kukoc's blind confidence in them. Oh well, they'd just have to deal with whatever came their way.
After the tall, thin man bought the rice, those who were still observing also took action, and soon the 10 jin of rice was sold out, earning him over 118,000 Dawn Coins.
They immediately used the Dawn Coins they had just earned to buy 10 sets of anti-radiation suits and rent a car.
They plan to set off early tomorrow morning to deliver radiation protection suits to their brothers and also to replenish some other supplies.
After buying the anti-radiation suits, Qi Huang and Kukochi left the black market ahead of them, with a car full of anti-radiation suits, to find a place for Yufei and the other two to stay.
Yufei wanted to browse the black market, so Lei Jun stayed to accompany her.
Yufei is mainly looking for something, but she doesn't know if, when they actually come into contact with the other world, their world's technological capabilities have already invented such a thing.
In the novels Yufei liked to read in her past life, there were frequent mentions of space-locking technology emerging when technology advanced to a certain point, leading to the invention of items like space locks.
If they had any, it would make their subsequent resource allocation much easier. Even if it were only about 3 cubic meters, their brothers wouldn't have to live in the wild guarding so many supplies.
As Yufei walked, she looked around at all the goods with great curiosity, especially at these strange and unusual items, asking them questions with particular earnestness.
Lei Jun was also glad that he had thoroughly explored the black market with Yufei; it contained many high-tech products, exactly what Daxia needed at the moment.
They purchased items such as negative ion cannons, multi-trajectory missiles, small radiation purifiers, and small radiation shields (instruments that can quickly create a radiation-free environment around the shield), as well as anti-radiation suits, etc.
This place contains both large-scale destructive weapons and a series of machines related to handling nuclear radiation—exactly what Great Xia needs right now. With these large-scale destructive weapons, Great Xia will have sufficient influence on the international stage.
Those machines capable of handling nuclear radiation are even more incredible. If they could bring them back to their Great Xia, they would never again be threatened by those little boys from the White Eagle Country and the Grizzly Bear Country.
Although they also have young boys who are unafraid of threats, having these shelters means they can rebuild and clean up should any unforeseen circumstances arise.
Lei Jun had considered this possibility, and his eyes lit up when he saw the weapons and machines. However, when Yufei inquired about the price, his heart finally froze.
Even the cheapest items cost over 100 million! Lei Jun calculated their supplies; aside from tea, he didn't know if selling all their other supplies would even raise 10 million Dawn Coins.
One hundred million! ╭(╯e╰)╮ Not knowing when he'd be able to scrape together his first one hundred million, Lei Jun silently set himself his first small goal: one hundred million Dawn Coins.
Yufei had explored almost the entire black market and indeed found quite a few good things, but she still couldn't find what she was looking for. Just when she was about to give up the search...
She saw a person who looked like a beggar sitting less than half a meter away, with something resembling a belt in front of him—it was very ugly—which piqued Yufei's interest.
"Uncle, what is this?" Yufei asked with interest, standing in front of the beggar.
The 'beggar' who looked like he was about to fall asleep lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yufei.
A hoarse, aged voice rang out.
"This is my dimensional pocket, 1500 million Dawn Coins if you want it."
"Old man Odin is just fooling people again. That kind of equipment wouldn't even be wanted if it were given away for free~ Hahahahaha"
A fat, big-eared, and burly-looking man laughed maniacally at the old man after Odin and Yufei announced the price.
The old man didn't argue when he heard the mockery; he remained silent, head bowed, whether in agreement with their views or in silent resistance was unclear.
This was none of Yufei's business. When Yufei heard about the dimensional pocket, her eyes lit up, and she continued to ask the old man about it.
"Uncle, a dimensional pocket? Is it for storing things? How much can it hold at once?"
"Hmm! It can hold 5 tons of stuff at a time," Odin replied woodenly, seemingly unsure of the possibility that Yufei might buy such a thing.
When asked the same question, Yufei and Lei Jun exchanged shocked glances at each other after hearing Odin's answer.
They were determined to get their hands on this thing, even if it meant selling everything they owned!
"Sir, have you been here these past few days? We'll take this, but could you give us a day or two?"
Lei Jun respectfully looked at the person and said...
“Not necessarily,” Odin shook his head.
"I need to continue my research because I'm running low on funds. I can only try to sell some of the little things I made before to get some money. If someone buys my stuff before you, I'll still sell it. If not, I'll go home."
Seeing that Yufei and Lei Jun were willing to make a deal with him, old man Odin sincerely said...
Unexpectedly, his words drew laughter from a group of people led by the burly man from before.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Young lady, listen to your brother's advice! This old guy is a fraud; he wouldn't have waited for you if he'd sold it already! He's been sitting here for two months and hasn't sold a single one! Oh, wait! There were originally two, but one of them was sold to some unlucky guy."
Ugh! Just the other day, the family of that guy came to complain! This thing is completely unusable for storing monsters! That poor guy bought it so he could store more monsters he caught in the wild, but he was diagnosed with being crippled due to excessive exposure to radiation!
Later I found out it was because of his belt, and what's worse, this belt had to be worn close to the skin, not over the anti-radiation suit.
"This is going to kill someone! Little girl, listen to your older brother's advice, this is no good!"
Unexpectedly, that seemingly tough older brother turned out to be a kind-hearted person. However, this dimensional pocket, which was practically useless to people in their wasteland world, was exactly what Yufei and her friends needed.
Their supplies are radiation-free, so wouldn't it be better to wear them close to the body?!
"Thank you, uncle. I didn't intend to use this to store anything particularly important; it's just perfect for my stuffed animal."
Yufei smiled sweetly. Upon hearing this, the burly man stopped talking and silently cursed these wicked capitalists. While others were struggling day and night to make a living, these spendthrift capitalists spent over ten million to buy that piece of junk! Just to fill in her doll?!
"Uncle, I don't want to put you in a difficult position. I'll come to see you around this time tomorrow as soon as possible. If this dimensional pocket is still there, it means it belongs to me. If it's gone, it just means we were destined to be apart. But that's okay, we can still cooperate later."
After Yufei finished speaking, she said goodbye to Odin and hurried off to raise the money. Odin watched Yufei and Lei Jun's departing figures, his eyes filled with unreadable thoughts.
"Wait a minute!"
