The Pitiful Girl She Picked Up Turned Out to Be a Cruel and Vicious Beauty Chapter 18 : That’s not right

That’s not right (v1c18)

"Dryer!"

Ye Sheng was reluctant to part with the rat at she had obtained with great difficulty.

But Old Lin was right. She couldn't eat it all by herself.

She couldn't let the edible at rot and get infested with maggots.

￣∆￣

But if she bought a dryer, it would be different.

Next ti she got so edible at, she could make it into jerky and preserve it.

Who would want to taste the bland nutrient solution if they had at to eat? !!

Ye Sheng's request to exchange for a dryer surprised Old Lin. He shook his head helplessly. As an old man, he quickly guessed what Ye Sheng was thinking.

Obviously he didn't want her to be a one-ti custor.

It was better to teach her how to fish than to give her a fish.

He didn't see anything wrong with Ye Sheng's exchange.

She had forty kilograms of at, and she was generous enough to give him thirty.

Those who accept favors have short hands and soft mouths.

No matter how much he craved at, he couldn't take advantage of a little girl.

But the girl had foresight. The dryer could keep food for a long ti and was one of the most essential machines in the ho.

But here in the mitigation zone, except for large families, everyone else is hungry. There was hardly any food left over every day, and there was no need for a dryer.

Ye Sheng's family didn't have one either.

That's why she couldn't keep the rat at she had just received, and she had to sell it.

"Dryers are not cheap! A second-hand dryer costs 500 points, Little Sheng. Do you want it?"

“……”

Ye Sheng was speechless when she heard the price of the dryer.

A second-hand dryer cost 500 points, and a brand-new dryer was out of reach.

No wonder Old Lin didn't even ntion the new dryer. He knew she couldn't afford it.

But she couldn't afford a second-hand dryer with 500 points either.

(ಥ‸ಥ)

Seeing the tearless sorrow on Ye Sheng's face, Old Lin smiled and offered an alternative, "Besides this second-hand dryer, there are also so small dryers. They are a bit smaller, but they are brand new."

As he spoke, Old Lin bent down and took out a tray from the bottom of the glass cabinet. He placed the tray on the glass cabinet and showed her four silver balls the size of fists.

Ye Sheng looked at the balls and tilted her head in confusion, showing the innocent expression of a country girl.

What were these?

Old Lin didn't tease her. He quickly picked up one of the silver balls, put it aside, and pressed the small red button on the top.

The next second, the ball made a 'click-click' sound and cracked open.

It unfolded in an instant, turning from a round ball into a square box, not very tall, about one ter in length.

Old Lin opened the 'square box' and revealed what was inside.

It was like a mini refrigerator, with three tray-like shelves inside. Food could be dried by placing it on them.

"This small dryer works very well. It only takes three hours to dry at, and it can be folded back to its original shape when not in use, saving space. As for the power source..."

Old Lin turned the small dryer to one side and opened a cover at the back, revealing a small compartnt for storing charcoal, which was also the fuel for the small dryer.

"You can put green charcoal here and add more every hour. Five pieces each ti."

The small dryer was indeed brand new, as Old Lin had said, but the model was not.

Products that were discarded in the safe zone.

These kinds of products were usually either outdated models or had too little functionality. This small dryer belonged to the latter category.

It was too small to dry a lot of things, and it was a hassle to add charcoal every hour.

Residents in the safe zone could buy energy cards each month, with a limit of 100 energy points, so they had newer machines that worked by swiping cards.

But even though it was useless to the people in the safe zone, it was very useful to the people in the mitigation zone.

Green charcoal was cheap, one point could be exchanged for 100, and it was the most common fire-making material.

Ye Sheng still had more than 80 pieces of green charcoal at ho.

"Little Sheng, you don't need a big dryer for yourself. This one is very good, and the price is very reasonable. You can buy it for only 200 points."

"200 points?"

Ye Sheng exclaid this ti, not because it was expensive, but because it was too cheap.

She looked up at Old Lin and said seriously, "The price is too low. Old Lin, don't break the rules just because you feel sorry for . I can wait until I have enough points to buy it later."

She couldn't just think about her own benefit.

Otherwise, she would end up in trouble.

Ye Sheng was touched by Old Lin's obvious kindness, but she couldn't accept it easily.

After all, this swap shop was an official base chain store, not one owned by Old Lin himself.

"Haha, you're an honest girl, don't worry, as long as it's not lower than the base price, it's fine. Let tell you a secret, the swap shop in the mitigation zone is no different from a personal contract, so most products are marked up, and the extra points go to the owner."

“……”

Seeing Old Lin smiling happily, Ye Sheng was speechless.

But she felt relieved.

Thirty kilograms of rat at could be exchanged for 300 points according to the minimum standard, which was enough to buy a small dryer.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ye Sheng's face. After transferring the 18 points she got from selling rat skin and rat paws to her identity card, she told Old Lin that she would deliver the at within an hour.

Old Lin agreed with a smile.

After leaving the swap shop, Ye Sheng walked ho lightly.

Even though she couldn't afford the repair fluid now, she would save enough money to get it in the future.

So the incident with the repair fluid didn't affect her good mood. When she opened the door lock, she approached Xiaodongxi with a smile.

She had gotten so much food today and she wanted to show it off!!!

(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪

"Xiao...ahem, guess what I found today?"

As soon as Ye Sheng entered the door, Xiaodongxi woke up.

While Ye Sheng was talking playfully, she slowly took out the black energy stone from her bag and blinked at Xiaodongxi's long eyelashes. Her well-behaved look really lted people's hearts.

It was good to be beautiful.

Knowing that Xiaodongxi was in poor physical condition and couldn't speak, Ye Sheng's words were just for fun.

Ye Sheng gently put the energy stone into Xiaodongxi's hand. She wanted to share her happy mood with her.

At the sa ti, she couldn't stop talking, "I just went to the swap shop. Even though it's a bit shabby, the owner Old Lin is very friendly and seems like a good person. It's just that I had to sell him thirty kilograms of the rat at I got. By the way, do you know, I t a porcupine rat in the wilderness..."

As she spoke, Ye Sheng looked at Xiaodongxi's pale face and felt sorry for her.

If she could get a primary repair fluid, the poor girl might be better.

She couldn't afford it. It was too expensive.

"This energy stone was from the porcupine rat. It's a D grade. It has a full 365 points of energy, which is exactly the number of days in a year~"

Ye Sheng hid her disappointnt and tried to say sothing cheerful.

She took out the detection machine and showed it to Xiaodongxi when she ntioned the energy stone.

'Beep~ A D-level energy stone was detected, the specific energy value is 345! '

"Hey, did you hear that? It has 3... wait, 345 energy points? That's not right!"

Ye Sheng was shocked when she heard the prompt.

She frowned and stared at the energy stone in Xiaodongxi's hand, feeling that sothing was wrong.
