Chapter 030: Great stamina and strength

"But these things look good!" Feng Xia also said.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by their old and dirty appearance. Wait for me to clean them and polish them, and they will be as good as new."

No one took it seriously, but someone asked curiously, "How much did you pay for all these things?"

Even if it's second-hand scrap price, it's not cheap, right?

Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to let these things pass through Mingming Road, so he answered this question calmly.

"It's only about ten bucks for all these things, which is much more than buying new ones."

"Yeah, I think your box is nice. I'll go to the scrap yard to take a look later!"

"Sister Xiaoxi, do you want me to help you move your things into the house?" Li Guifen asked.

Gu Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "No, no, there is a well in the yard. I will just scrub it here and put it in the house after it is clean."

"Then let me help you!" Li Guifen said enthusiastically.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and refused. "I'm home alone today. I don't have a job right now, so I'll just wash the clothes to kill time. Sisters-in-law, just go and do your own things. Don't bother me."

"Then call us if you have something. You haven't eaten yet, right?" Li Guifen asked with concern.

Gu Xiaoxi fetched some water nearby and said as he washed his hands, "I still have some porridge left over from this morning. I'll go heat it up."

When everyone heard that she was going to have lunch, they went their separate ways.

Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Xiaoxi put the carved bowl cabinet into the second-hand grocery store, and then replaced it with a new one in the kitchen.

After putting the dishes in the kitchen into the cupboard, the whole kitchen suddenly became less messy.

She initially said she would eat the leftover porridge, but in the end she took some time to make herself an egg pancake.

After eating, she would hang out in the yard, wash and tinker with things, then carry things home one by one from the junk store and replace them with new ones.

While dealing with the three sacks of books, Gu Xiaoxi suddenly realized that he could no longer throw things into the junk warehouse.

Just as I was wondering, I saw a golden light circling the words "Second-hand Grocery Store", leaving a mysterious dark pattern.

The next moment, lines of large golden characters appeared before her eyes.

[Owner of the old-for-new system space: Gu Xiaoxi]

[Trading Level: Novice Level 2]

【Points: 0/2000】

[Merit value: 0]

[Skill Mall: Opened (needs to consume random merit value to trigger)]

Gu Xiaoxi read it carefully twice before she realized that her trade-in system space had been upgraded, and the next time she upgraded, her points might reach 2,000.

But what can we do after upgrading?

She tentatively tossed another book into the junk pile.

Then, she saw two virtual images appear in the new product showroom. One was a brand new book, which was considered the original version.

There is also a book that seems to have been turned into a hardcover book, and the paper looks much better.

She moved her hand and selected the picture of the hardcover book.

She took the book in her hand and flipped through it. She found that the quality of hardcover books was much better than that of books that were simply exchanged for new ones.

Considering the issue of book preservation, she exchanged all the remaining books for hardcover books.

She even took out some original books that had been exchanged for new ones from the new product showroom and prepared to replace them with hardcover books.

However, after throwing the book into the junk warehouse, she was dumbfounded.

Because the words on the book she exchanged for the new one had been erased, what she got was a book without any words.

After a moment of confusion, she threw another book into the junk storage.

Well, two seconds later, she got another book without words!

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

It turns out that things that are put into the second-hand goods storage cannot be replaced a second time!

However, the wordless book can also be used as draft paper or letter paper!

After a while, she remembered that she still had a few worn-out bills in her bag, so she took them out and put them in the second-hand goods storage.

At this time, she found two options in the new product showroom. One dollar could be turned into a brand new dollar, and she could also choose two fifty-cent bills.

In other words, after the system space is upgraded, you can actually get change for your old card!

She now wishes she could go to the scrapyard again and buy all the stuff inside.

But she was just thinking about it. If she wanted to live a stable life in this era, she still had to be down-to-earth.

Just when she was wondering where else besides the scrapyard she could trade in old items for new ones to earn points, Li Guifen came over.

Li Guifen had finished her own housework and originally wanted to come over to help, but she was surprised to see that Gu Xiaoxi had already cleaned up the yard and moved everything in.

However, her surprise turned into astonishment when she saw the furniture that was clean and shiny after being washed.

"Xiaoxi, you have great taste. Those old furniture look like new after washing them."

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, then said, "Sister Guifen, do you have anything to wash at home? Bring it over and I'll help you wash it. I'm free anyway."

"Really? Now that you mention it, I really have things to wash. The cupboard in my house also has carvings on it, and it's very difficult to clean. It looks black now." Li Guifen was very tempted.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "There is a well in my yard. If you are not afraid of trouble, you can use it to wash. If you are not afraid of carrying water, I will go to your house to wash for you."

Li Guifen thought for a moment and said, "How about I take it?"

It's not something that can be washed clean with just one or two buckets of water. Although it is a bit troublesome to bring the things over, it saves time and effort, and it also saves you from getting the house wet and having to clean it again.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay. Sister-in-law, you can bring the pots and pans from home first. I'll go mix some cleaning liquid, and then I'll help you move the dishes."

Li Guifen smiled cheerfully, "No need for you to carry it, I can carry it by myself, I'll go now."

As she spoke, she left in a hurry.

Gu Xiaoxi took a basin, dissolved the laundry detergent at home in the water, brought over a rag, and a bucket, which he had filled with water in advance.

Li Guifen came over quickly. She didn't take anything light like pots and pans, but directly carried her own cupboard over.

Gu Xiaoxi started cleaning it without saying a word.

While washing, she said, "Sister-in-law, go get something else, I'll finish washing soon."

"Okay!" Li Guifen went back immediately.

Gu Xiaoxi noticed that the wood of the cupboard had a lot of damage and the carvings had some cracks, so he didn't put it in the junk store. Instead, he used his garbage decomposition skills and cleaning techniques to clean the cupboard.

Even so, the cupboards are exceptionally clean and fresh after cleaning.

When Li Guifen came over with her things for the second time and saw the cleaned dishes, she was delighted and said, "They are so clean!"

Gu Xiaoxi also felt a sense of accomplishment and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, take the cupboard back and I'll wash the rest."

"Okay! Okay!" Li Guifen carried the cupboard and ran away briskly.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her with envy. Sister Guifen had such great physical strength and power!
