Chapter 108 Big Purchase
Seeing Ren Wenwen lowering the car window, Yu Sheng's first reaction was "The male lead and his motorcycle are so cute." He tensed up visibly, and then his second reaction was to look her up and down: "... Did the Secret Service arrange for you to come? Why don't you just station yourself near my house?"
As a result, when he said this, the other party was stunned for a moment, and it took two seconds for him to react: "Ah, no, I just happened to be here to do some business and passed by your house."
Yu Sheng looked at the girl suspiciously, trying to find signs of lying on her face, but found that she seemed serious.
"I'm a civilian logistics staff member," Ren Wenwen added seriously, "except for delivering information and running errands, I usually don't go out on field work - the people stationed near you must be colleagues from the operations department..."
Yu Sheng was amused instead: "You didn't deny the 'stationing' thing."
"You can definitely guess it, after all, 'No. 66 Wutong Road' is a new foreign land," Ren Wenwen laughed, "Of course, if you mind, I'll go back and report..."
"No, you won't really withdraw, so don't go through this process," Yu Sheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you can neither keep an eye on me nor find No. 66 Wutong Road."
Ren Wenwen's smile suddenly became a little awkward, and she quickly changed the subject: "So...are you going out? Do you want me to give you a ride? I've just finished my work and am about to go back to the bureau, so there's nothing urgent right now."
To be honest, Yu Sheng was quite hesitant at this moment.
After all, the level of this "foolish expert" in front of him was really hard for him to handle. If he started discussing the love-hate relationship between humans and motorcycles after getting on the car, he really couldn't stand it. However, he hesitated for two or three seconds and nodded: "Thank you very much, let's go to the north entrance of Huaiyang Street, the farmers' market."
As he spoke, he canceled the order on the taxi app and took Hu Li and Ailin into Ren Wenwen's car.
Out of respect for the "knock-out expert", Yu Sheng did not dare to sit in the passenger seat. Although the seat was empty, he still firmly squeezed into the back seat with Hu Li.
Erin sat between them—because even the puppets thought the Human x Motorcycle was a little too advanced.
Ren Wenwen didn't react to this. She just kept looking at Yu Sheng sitting in the back through the rearview mirror while driving. After driving for almost ten minutes, she couldn't help but say, "Teacher Yu, when will you write your new book?"
She even used the respectful title of "teacher" - but the words just made Yu Sheng feel uneasy.
"I'm writing, I'm writing," Yu Sheng quickly adjusted his expression, but his tone was still a little unnatural, "I'm rushing to finish the manuscript these two days..."
"Is the new book still a thriller?" Ren Wenwen immediately looked happy. "Will the previous characters appear? Will there be guest appearances by old characters like in your previous works? Will the stage still be in 'Jingshui City'?"
Yu Sheng didn't know how to answer immediately. After all, he hadn't even created a document for his new book, nor had he named the new folder. Moreover, he had encountered a bottleneck caused by the weird CP. So he could only perfunctorily try to change the subject: "...Keep it a secret before the book is published. I don't like spoilers. Anyway, it must be a good story... Let's not talk about this for now. What are you doing here today?"
"Running errands. Our captain sent me out early in the morning to deliver information to a 'foreigner' who lives nearby. I looked for him for a long time, but his place is too difficult to find... But it's still easier to find than No. 66 Wutong Road."
"Stranger?" Yu Sheng was a little curious.
"An Algradian. You know Algradians, right? They call themselves 'people favored by the stars'. They have keen perception and calculation abilities regarding the stars and the universe. Many Algradians are interested in the special features of the border area and have lived in the border city for a long time to study this place. They have a good relationship with the Secret Service," Ren Wenwen said casually. "They look very similar to humans. You may have come into contact with Algradians before, but you didn't notice..."
Yu Sheng listened thoughtfully to these wonderful facts hidden beneath the daily life of Jiecheng that ordinary people would never come into contact with, and then he suddenly felt the car shake.
"We're here." Ren Wenwen, who was sitting in the front, turned her head and said.
“So soon?”
"It's very close," Ren Wenwen smiled, "Should I wait for you here for a while? Or should I accompany you for a walk? I'm quite familiar with this place~"
"No, no, no," Yu Sheng waved his hands hurriedly, fearing that the other party would take this opportunity to ask him about the new book. "We have to spend at least half a day to browse. I won't waste your time. Thank you."
As he spoke, he pulled Hu Li and Irene out of the car as if they were escaping.
The "koogologist" finally drove away.
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately took Hu Li to a quiet corner, took out his mobile phone, turned on the "Border Communication" on it, and began to search for whether there were any "nodes" set up by the Secret Service nearby.
Finally, I found one, right near the entrance of the farmers' market.
He took Hu Li and followed the navigation on his phone, and sure enough, he found a deserted place. It was an empty store with a sign saying "Prime Shop for Rent". It was clearly located near the downtown area, but there was no one in a large area around the door.
There was only a lonely "node" device standing abruptly on the open space nearby, emitting a faint buzzing sound from time to time.
Yu Sheng looked around, then put his hand on the door of the store, held his breath, and recorded the "coordinates" here with a serious face.
Seeing this, Hu Li couldn't help but be curious: "My benefactor, what are you doing?"
"Leave a record of the door opening," Yu Sheng said casually, "It will be more convenient for me to come here next time - there happens to be a 'node' set up by the Secret Service here, I can use their wifi... er, use their dispersal effect, so that I don't have to scare people when I open the door in the future."
There was no one around, so Irene moved a little, poked her head out of Hu Li's arms, and looked around curiously: "Is there an alien land even here?"
"This store in front of us is marked as an L-1 level foreign land on the border communication, 'Store'," Yu Sheng pointed, "It is said that it will open at midnight. If you mistakenly walk into it, you will enter an extremely large grocery store. The danger level is very low. The main danger is that the things sold in it are very expensive, and you must spend all your money before you can get out... By the way, the things you buy here will turn into sand once you leave the 'Store'."
"...What a vicious foreign land!" The little puppet exclaimed immediately, and then couldn't help but sigh, "There's even such a foreign land..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It can only be said to be a feature of the border area," Yu Sheng exhaled, "There are also foreign areas with unclear meanings and confusing in all aspects. But it has little to do with us. I just use this as a sign to open the door."
As he spoke, he had already finished recording the coordinates of this place, and then began to go to the market to make some large purchases as planned.
The first thing is to buy enough food for Hu Li on a wholesale scale - wholesale frozen chicken legs and rice, flour, grain and oil from here are much cheaper than buying them in supermarkets.
The seller saw Yu Sheng, a strange "buyer", and asked him curiously if he was going to open a restaurant. He also enthusiastically said that he could get a discount if he bought goods for a long time. Yu Sheng happily left the other party's phone number, but he really couldn't explain to him that he didn't run a restaurant, he came to the farmers' market to buy arms...
The kind of munitions that can destroy twenty chicken legs with one cruise missile.
Every time he bought a few boxes of things, he would take Hu Li to an empty corner and stuff all the things he bought into her tail.
After purchasing most of the food, he bought a lot of vegetable seeds and some tools that might be useful.
Irene couldn't help but mutter in his mind: "I wanted to ask you when I was leaving, why did you buy seeds?"
"Of course it's farming," Yu Sheng said as if it was a matter of course, "Have you forgotten my plan? I'm going to open up a piece of land in the valley and grow some fruits, vegetables and so on."
"...Are you serious?!" The little doll was shocked. "I thought you were joking!"
"Of course I'm serious about farming," Yu Sheng said seriously, "You said that it's such a good land, don't you think it's a pity not to grow something? Besides, now that the hungry entities in that place are gone, there is no source of meat, I have to grow something to make up for it... By the way, now that you mention it, I have to buy some more chicks, they can lay eggs when they grow up, and I can also stew them for Hu Li. Hu Li, can you put living things in your tail?"
Hu Li nodded proudly immediately: "Yes! As long as we use magic to protect our vitality, it will be no problem to temporarily leave it for a month or two!"
Irene was stunned for a few seconds before she spoke: "So you really wanted to go to the valley to 'purchase' goods, right? You feel really sorry that the entity-Hunger ate all of them?!"
Yu Sheng had a stern face.
But he felt really sorry - if he had known that the thing could not be regenerated after eating it, he should have saved one at the end of the "feast" so that he would never have to buy meat again...
