But his instinct of walking in dangerous areas for many years made him restrain himself.
He suppressed the urge to agree immediately and asked, "How do you exchange it?"
"No rush, start with a small business." Gu Huaiwei said carefully, "Five liters of oxygen and ten kilograms of fresh water, I'll sell them to you at a friendly price of five gold coins."
In recent years, the price of gold has continued to rise, from more than 200 yuan to the current 575 yuan.
A gold coin in this world weighs nearly 30 grams. Even if the purity is not very high and there are impurities, a gold coin can be sold for more than 15,000 in the real world.
Five gold coins are more than 70,000.
Enough for Gu Huaiwei to trade some goods.
Xiao You's heart was also full of twists and turns.
Five liters of oxygen plus ten kilograms of fresh water for only five gold coins!
This is too cheap.
Xiao Youqi's breathing became slightly heavier. After the nuclear explosion, only huge pits, ruins, yellow sand and dust remained on the ground.
The underground city has ten areas, and the surviving humans live by extracting groundwater.
Groundwater is scarce and expensive, and a pot of fresh water costs a gold coin.
Life is not easy, they can only taste the sweetness of water in small sips, and then collect urine and sweat, filter them, and recycle them.
Gu Huaiwei only sold it for five gold coins. In Xiao Youqi's eyes, she was simply a wasteland philanthropist.
Xiao Youqi pressed down the corners of his lips: "I'll listen to you."
Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, joy climbed up Gu Huaiwei's slightly upturned eyes and up to the tips of her eyebrows.
She was doing the math in her mind.
A five-liter oxygen cylinder costs just over a thousand yuan, and ten kilograms of mineral water is even cheaper.
She made a fortune from this deal.
The two hit it off and agreed to deliver the goods within three days.
By the end of the day, Lin She had already drawn four versions of promotional illustrations on his computer.
Before leaving, Gu Huaiwei checked his work results.
I have to say, very professional.
There are comic style, pixel style, diffuse style and glitch style.
The colors are bold, full of tension and artistry.
Then, Gu Huaiwei bared her teeth, patted his shoulder from behind, and said, "Lin She, don't bother with this. I only have one request: the words must be big and eye-catching.
Give it to me tomorrow morning and we’ll print and post it tomorrow.”
Then, Gu Huaiwei saw Lin She's head twisted back to an uncomfortable angle.
The dark green pupils dilated slightly, as if in disbelief.
Then, he turned back with a bit of resentment, deleted four drafts, and remade a huge poster with a red background and yellow text in bold.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Gu Huaiwei saw that Lin She understood the meaning of her words and clapped her hands encouragingly, "Keep going, work hard, and you will be the best employee."
The working time is twelve o'clock in the evening.
From the staff passage, walk out that door and return to the real world.
Neon lights stood quietly on both sides of the road, dim and without light. The streets were quiet and empty. Only the silvery moonlight sprinkled on the asphalt road, reflecting a faint glow.
Without the hustle and bustle of traffic, the whole city fell into a deep sleep. The breeze blew through Gu Huaiwei's hair, bringing a refreshing coolness.
She took off her thick glasses that were used for disguise and took out her cell phone to contact her best friend.
"Lingxi, is it convenient for me to go over now?"
"Oh my god, Huaiwei, you finally called me!" A girl's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone receiver. "That's convenient, a million times convenient. I live in a remote place now, so be careful on the road!"
After Mu Lingxi broke up with her family, she has been helping her sister with work. After her sister disappeared, she couldn't find a job for the time being and could only rent a house in a village in the city.
Gu Huaiwei took a taxi and paid with the little change left in her pocket.
The driver, an old lady, looked through the rearview mirror and saw her counting the coins worth a few cents over and over again. She couldn't stand it any more and gave her some change.
Mu Lingxi, wearing a red headband, holding pepper spray in her hand and turning on the flashlight, waited nervously at the entrance of the dark alley.
There is no surveillance in this alley, it's not safe.
When Gu Huaiwei saw her, she quickly stepped forward and held her warm hand: "Let's go inside and talk."
"Um."
After the two entered the house, Mu Lingxi locked the old iron door from the inside.
Gu Huaiwei went to the bathroom first and borrowed Mu Lingxi's makeup remover to rinse the foundation off her face.
The turbid water flowed into the sewer, and the mirror reflected the girl's somewhat tired face.
Her long black hair fell like a waterfall, her bangs sticking to her forehead wet with water droplets still on them.
The small red mole at the corner of her eye adorns her pretty face, adding a touch of charm to her cat-like eyes.
The biggest difference between her and her sister is her restless eyes.
The orange-yellow table lamp illuminates the small room, adding a touch of warmth.
After taking a shower, Gu Huaiwei sat barefoot at the end of the bed wearing Mu Lingxi's pajamas and cross-legged.
Mu Lingxi wiped her wet hair with a dry towel.
After learning about Gu Huaiwei's recent experience, she said indignantly, "Those people are so unreasonable. Why did they come to your rental house and throw paint on you?"
Gu Huaiwei leaned back on the bed sheet and sighed softly, "My sister is missing, and the only person the creditors can find is me. They will definitely take it out on me."
"Since you can't rent a house, why don't you just move in with me." Mu Lingxi threw the hair towel aside and climbed onto the bed. "Sister Changge's disappearance won't be resolved in a hurry.
She's not here, but I'm here."
Chang Ge's thoughts are on picking wild vegetables.
Gu Changge is her sister.
Gu Huaiwei's eyes became gentle, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity.
It’s a pity that Mu Lingxi couldn’t protect herself, and Gu Huaiwei didn’t want to stay and disturb her already difficult life.
