Upon hearing Liu Kai's refusal, everyone's expressions darkened.

The little girl, Weiwei, whose face was full of hope, could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

Wang Ning quickly squatted down and hugged her to comfort her.

But to everyone's surprise...

Just as Liu Kai turned to leave, the little girl broke free from Wang Ning's embrace.

She stumbled over and grabbed his leg.

She cried pitifully, "Brother, please help me! I'll do anything to repay you, big brother, as long as you save Grandpa. Please, big brother!"

Seeing the girl's pitiful state, the people around her also spoke up in support, their faces filled with sorrow.

"Weiwei is a pitiful child. Her parents passed away early, and what if her grandfather also passes away..."

"Wandering Merchant, you are all-powerful, you must have a way, right?"

"Yes, please help us out, brother. Just tell us what you need. If you can give us some more time, we'll sell everything we own to scrape together the money."

...

This scenario seems familiar, somewhat like moral blackmail, but not quite as serious.

But surprisingly, Liu Kai didn't get angry.

It wasn't just because of the good impression I had when I first met these people.

This is also because these people have clearly witnessed the fate of those who engaged in moral blackmail in the "Lishiquyuan" community.

He still prays now.

More importantly, their pleas were for the benefit of others, not for their own private interests.

This gesture touched Liu Kai slightly.

But that wasn't enough to change his mind.

So he coldly refused, "I can get those things, but I'm sorry, you can't afford them!"

This statement made everyone blush, but they couldn't find a single word to refute it.

yes.

I can't afford it.

These three words are so realistic, and so ruthless.

Wang Ning wanted to try again.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Wandering Merchant, we really don't have any gold left. If there's anything you need, just tell us, and we'll all work together to find a way to get it for you."

She regretted saying it as soon as it left her mouth.

What could a wandering merchant possibly lack?

Even if they were in short supply, it wouldn't be something these poor survivors, who barely knew what they were getting, could obtain.

Faced with everyone's persistent questioning, Liu Kai initially wanted to shut them up by saying he wanted the stars in the sky.

But suddenly, as if guided by divine inspiration, he came up with an absurd idea.

"I need drilling and mining machinery, the kind that can be operated by a single person. Can you get your hands on some?"

"this..."

Everyone fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.

This kind of thing is not something ordinary people can get their hands on. What's the difference between it and the stars in the sky?

Is it truly the case that there's absolutely no room for negotiation...?

Just as Liu Kai was about to push away the crying little girl and leave without a second thought.

A slightly aged voice rang out from behind the group: "Yes! We have mining machinery!"

Liu Kai paused.

Some looked up in disbelief, wanting to see who was talking nonsense.

Everyone turned around and saw an elderly man with gray hair but vigorous spirit walking briskly towards them.

They immediately burst into excited shouts.

"Dr. Huangfu is here."

"Dr. Huangfu, what brings you downstairs?"

The little girl also broke away from Liu Kai and ran towards the old man: "Waaah... Grandpa Huangfu, is my grandpa going to die?"

Dr. Huangfu had no time to pay attention to the others; he was focused intently on Liu Kai.

"Young man, you said you could trade mining machinery for these surgical supplies, right? I have some!"

His voice was firm and resolute, not at all like someone talking nonsense.

Seeing this, Liu Kai began to believe it a little, and a surge of excitement rose in his heart.

He just casually mentioned wanting mining machinery.

Could it really be possible to obtain it here?!

The mines in Bright Town...

He quickly calmed himself down and looked at Doctor Huangfu seriously, saying, "That's right, as long as you have mining machinery, I can give it to you tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? So soon?"

Everyone was startled by what they heard and instinctively looked toward the dark trunk of the snowmobile.

It was as if they wanted to see if the thing was inside.

Now it was Dr. Huangfu's turn to be embarrassed.

He cleared his throat and said, "Actually... the mining machinery isn't here, it's in my friend's warehouse. I have the warehouse key..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kai's joy vanished, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Okay.

It turns out the old man just wanted to provide a location for me to find.

What's the use of a key?

Seeing that Liu Kai remained silent, everyone held their breath.

Wang Ning also became anxious.

She was afraid Liu Kai wouldn't accept the offer, and was about to step in to smooth things over, promising to exchange it for something more.

But then Liu Kai suddenly spoke up.

"Are you sure that the mining machinery is a drilling type, not an open-pit type, and can be operated by a single person?"

Dr. Huangfu was taken aback.

He immediately realized that Liu Kai had given in, and his face lit up with joy as he quickly said, "I'm sure, the location is in Fenghai City!"

"Can!"

"Tell me the location, and as long as you're not lying, I'll personally deliver the surgical instruments to you at this time and place tomorrow!"

After careful consideration, Liu Kai finally agreed.

Firstly, he possesses spatial abilities.

Even if you develop a tumor, as long as the cancer cells haven't spread, you can heal yourself.

So while these X-ray machines are indeed valuable, they are, to him, a useless burden that is neither useful nor worth discarding.
