After leaving Mao Min's office, Fang Qingdai went directly to the hospital to purchase a batch of medicines.

She didn't have many of the medicines she had retrieved, and she needed to purchase more to ensure that Jing Yi and his men could survive in the wasteland.

After all, being a wanderer means facing countless dangers every day, and the consumption of medication is enormous.

In addition, she doesn't intend to send out all her medicines; she needs to keep some as a backup, as well as for seeds, to build up a large reserve.

Fortunately, all that was needed was to purchase some basic hemostatic and detoxifying medicines, which only cost a total of 500 points.

After leaving the hospital, Fang Qingdai went straight to the trading hall operated by the base.

That's where you can buy nutrient solution.

When you're out and about, you can forget about side dishes. Although nutritional drinks don't taste good, they are definitely the best way to replenish energy.

Fang Qingdai hadn't used it much before, so there wasn't much backtracking, and the few she had were given to Jing Yi's people.

So this time she bought two hundred of them in one go.

One nutrient solution costs only three points.

It's not expensive for people with superpowers, but for ordinary people, even if they dare to go into the wasteland to scavenge, the resources they find every day, even if they sell them, would probably only earn them enough for their daily food.

After spending 600 points, Fang Qingdai turned her attention to the clothes and protective gear.

The clothes in the wasteland were all grayish-brown, with few styles to choose from, so Fang Qingdai bought ten sets based on Jing Yi's size, spending one hundred points.

Fang Qingdai was more careful in choosing the protective gear. These protective gear not only could resist certain external injuries, but also, depending on the price, had a certain degree of radiation protection.

There are residual radiations in many places in the wasteland. With these protective gear, as long as Jing Yi and the others don't recklessly enter high-radiation areas, they will be fine.

The protective gear is really expensive; a set of protective gear with radiation protection costs as much as 800 points!

Fang Qingdai simply didn't have the money to buy more sets!

She was just thinking of buying a set so that Jingyi and the others could wear it when needed, but then she suddenly remembered her time-travel skill.

Fang Qingdai decisively carried the things she had bought out of the trading hall, and then took out her bracelet to contact Xiao Mao.

When the two met at the market, Fang Qingdai was the first to hand over a large, sealed wooden bucket.

"Sister! You're my own sister!" Knowing that the A-grade water source Fang Qingdai had promised her was inside, Xiao Mao hugged the wooden tub tightly, her round face flushed with excitement!

Fang Qingdai smiled and reached out her hand without hesitation: "Twenty points per level, that's a total of four hundred points. Thank you for your patronage!"

Xiao Mao was stunned: "You really only charge me twenty points per liter?"

Twenty points per liter is the price at which the base sells Grade A water.

But as mentioned before, once scarce resources enter the private market, their value can increase several times over.

Even if they don't sell them, they can make a fortune just by using their connections.

Therefore, Grade A water sources will not decrease in price when they enter the market; on the contrary, they can increase significantly.

Fang Qingdai was willing to provide the water mainly to repay Xiao Mao for helping her seek medicine, not to make money off him.

Fang Qingdai didn't want to explain further, she just waved her hand: "Take it if it's given to you, make good use of it, expand your business empire, and look after me when you're successful!"

Touched, Xiao Mao nodded repeatedly, "Okay! I will definitely live up to your expectations, sister!"

Qingluan nestled in Fang Qingdai's arms, and upon hearing this, she quickly sat up straight: "Sister, Qingluan will protect you from now on!"

Fang Qingdai and Xiao Mao both laughed, and Xiao Mao teased her in a cheeky way: "With your small frame, how can you protect your sister? You'll have to watch me! I'll put on a brave face, and I can take down any bad guy with one punch!"

Qingluan pouted: "What's the use of being fat!"

She's no longer the little girl who was insecure because she wasn't round enough!

Qingluan raised her chin proudly, "Now that I'm a superhuman, I can help my sister fight bad guys!"

Xiao Mao paused for a moment upon hearing this, his eyes dimmed slightly, and his tone was not as excited as before: "That's right, Qingluan has activated her superpower, she can help her sister fight bad guys now."

Seeing Xiao Mao's low spirits, the perceptive Qingluan immediately noticed.

She pursed her lips somewhat helplessly and looked at Fang Qingdai for help.

Fang Qingdai gently patted her head to soothe her guilt, then changed the subject: "I came to see you because I have something to ask of you."

"Sister, what are you saying? We don't need to ask for anything, just tell me what you need!" Xiao Mao immediately perked up again, patting his chest loudly!

Seeing that his mood had improved, Qingluan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and obediently shrank back into Fang Qingdai's arms without making a sound.

"I wanted to ask if you know where I can get damaged protective gear? The more damaged, the better!"

Xiao Mao was taken aback: "Sis, do you need protective gear? I have two sets of protective gear at home that can block level 5 radiation. I don't need them since I don't leave the base. If you need them, I can give them to you!"

Radiation is currently classified into ten levels, with level seven and above considered high-radiation areas.

The abandoned city where Fang Qingdai saved Jing Yi had a radiation level as high as level eight!

Civilian protective gear can only block up to level 5 radiation at best; higher-level protective gear is only available to the base's official personnel.

Even so, protective gear that can block level 5 radiation is very expensive!

Those two sets of houses belonging to Xiao Mao's family can be sold for eight hundred to one thousand points in the trading hall!

Fang Qingdai was speechless, so she raised her hand and tapped him on the head.

"Are you a spendthrift? You're throwing away all the good stuff, what's wrong with you!"

Xiao Mao covered his head and protested, "I only gave it to you because you asked me, sis! How could I just give it to anyone else!"

Fang Qingdai rolled her eyes. Her spendthrift younger brother from modern times also had the habit of spending money recklessly, so she was somewhat used to it. She just casually advised, "Even a fortune can't withstand your scattering of wealth. Be more careful in the future!"

"Alright, I don't want your protective gear. I have a use for broken protective gear. Just tell me if you can find any!"

Xiao Mao thought for a moment and nodded firmly: "Yes!"

He gave a sly smile: "Sis, do you remember that kid who spoke so arrogantly to you last time?"

Fang Qingdai thought for a moment before remembering that it was the level three strength-type ability user who came with Xiao Mao on the day of the ability certification.

He was so angry that Fang Qingdai made some sarcastic remarks to him that his face turned pale.

"What happened to him?" Fang Qingdai asked curiously, not knowing why Xiao Mao brought up that person.

Xiao Mao grinned slyly: "That kid's dad is the head of the logistics department at the base. He has a lot of obsolete equipment and resources. Let's go to him and ask him to help us out!"

Fang Qingdai's lips twitched: "Don't you two have a bad relationship?"

"Yeah! I hate him the most. He's just a level three strength type, yet he's always showing off in front of me! Luckily, you slapped him in the face for me!"

Xiao Mao couldn't help but burst into laughter at the thought of that kid's bluish-black face.

Fang Qingdai was even more speechless: "With the relationship so antagonistic, why should anyone help you?"

Xiao Mao confidently patted his chest: "Don't worry, sis, I have a way to handle him!"
