Chapter 14 Buying and Selling
The system rang at this time, prompting him that he had completed a hidden task and the system could be upgraded.
Wen Le was stunned. While Ao Wei wasn't paying attention, he quickly used his consciousness to open the system interface and found that there was indeed a reward description for "Host completed the therapist registration task." This time, the reward was 300 proficiency points and 500 credit points. Combined with the proficiency points he had accumulated before, Wen Le suddenly reached level 4!
The system also provided a small warehouse. Although it was only one cubic meter and could not hold anything except medicinal herbs and medicines, it still made Wen Le excited for a long time.
When he read novels back then, what he envied most was the protagonists having a place to store their belongings. It was so impressive. He thought he would never have to worry about food or luggage wherever he went.
At that time, he was thinking, it would be great if one day he could also own a legendary space.
I didn’t expect that it would actually come true now!
Wen Le excitedly hugged Jin Cancan and kissed it twice on the forehead, which made the little thing stunned. But when it reacted, it licked Wen Le's face enthusiastically.
Wen Le wiped the saliva from his face and finally calmed down. Now was not the time to get excited. After all, they were outside and Ovi was still beside them. If they moved a little, he might notice.
Wen Le broke out in a cold sweat at the thought. He really wasn't up to par yet. He got carried away when things got to him. He had to change that.
As expected, Ovi looked towards Wen Le and asked him what was wrong in confusion.
Wen Le scratched his head with a shy expression and said, "I was just a little too happy. I couldn't help but get a little excited just now."
Ovi misunderstood him as referring to registering as a therapist and smiled in understanding: "You're right to be happy. Anyone would be excited about this kind of thing."
"Let's go, I'll take you shopping." Ovi took Wen Le around the street for a long time, and finally came to an inconspicuous alley. He stopped at the house at the end, then looked around cautiously, making sure that no one was there before knocking on the door.
Ovi whispered to Wen Le, "This is to confirm whether we are being followed. If someone follows us, we can't buy anything, otherwise we will be robbed on the way back."
This kind of thing happens frequently here, because this is the most chaotic place in Area B, with all kinds of people here, and robbery is a normal thing.
Credit points are used for transfers, which easily leave transfer records and personal information. Once the victim reports the robber to the police, the robber will be exposed, so this kind of thing generally doesn't happen. Looting supplies is the most convenient option, as there's no need to worry about exposing yourself, and it's also easier to sell. Many people who come from outside without a high level of security prefer to buy this kind of illicit goods because they're cheap.
This is like killing two birds with one stone.
After hearing what Ao Wei said, Wen Le immediately took this to heart with a serious face and told the little thing: "Jin Cancan, did you hear that? If someone follows us in the future, you must tell me, because this is related to whether we eat meat or insects in the future."
Jin Cancan also nodded seriously and meowed to show that he understood. That serious little expression coupled with that fluffy face was so cute that it made people tremble with love.
As a poop scooper, Wen Le couldn't help but kiss the little thing again.
Jin Cancan also enthusiastically washed Wen Le's face again.
Just as the master and pet were having a great time, the door opened and a little head popped out. It was a little girl with two pigtails. She was about six or seven years old, and her eyes looked even bigger because she was thin.
When she saw Ovi, a bright smile appeared on her originally wary little face, and she opened the door enthusiastically to let Ovi and Wen Le in.
The little girl jumped into the house and shouted, "Grandpa, Uncle Ovi is here!"
The little girl was very happy because every time Uncle Ovi came, he would buy a lot of things, and the family could eat meat with the money they earned.
So Ovi is one of the most popular people in the little girl's heart.
After entering the house, an old man who looked to be in his sixties and wearing patched clothes came out from the inner room with a hunched back. Seeing Ovi's wrinkled face, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Still the old rules?"
Ovi nodded: "Old rules."
The only things these people in the safe zone buy are water and food, a small amount of emergency medicine and weapons, and occasionally one or two pieces of clothing.
After finishing his own story, Ao Wei pointed to Wen Le standing next to him and said, "This is a new friend. Uncle, you have to treat him well."
This is the custom here; all new guests introduced here are called new friends. As for Ovi's subsequent phrase "treat them well," it was a hint that they were giving the other party a newcomer discount. Don't treat him like a fat sheep just because he's young.
The old man's eyes flashed, and when he saw the laptop on Wen Le's hand, his smile became more sincere, and he said quickly: "Of course, of course."
As he spoke, he led the person into the inner room, then lifted the mat on the bed and moved a bed board away, and a basement entrance suddenly appeared in front of Wen Le.
Wen Le widened his eyes in surprise. The plot in the TV series actually appeared in real life, and right in front of him!
But he also sighed in his heart: People here are very careful when doing business.
Later, Wen Le found out that this was done to prevent thieves.
The most common items in the cellar were a cheap nutritional supplement and a compressed water ball, as well as a small amount of capsule fast food and a few pieces of clothing.
Wen Le considered his situation and, as a rare luxury, bought three capsules of fast food. He also bought a box of 20 nutritional supplements. These cheap supplements could only keep him satiated for four hours, and Wen Le planned to eat them with the fast food. After all, he was in the growth phase and needed nutritional supplements.
In order to avoid not growing taller in the future, this money must be spent.
Then he bought a load of underwear for a change of clothes. After asking the price, he had no intention of buying clothes anymore. They were too expensive and not necessary. If nothing else, he could just go back and get someone to sew him a robe out of sable skin.
All of these can be tolerated, but asking him to openly walk his bird is absolutely intolerable. It was fine before when he didn't have the conditions, but now that he has the conditions, he naturally has to treat himself better.
After buying these things, Wen Le had almost spent the 1,000 yuan living allowance he had just received. The high prices made him gasp. He had originally planned to buy weapons for self-defense, but now it seemed he couldn't afford them, let alone more precious medicinal herbs. Wen Le didn't even dare to mention it.
Wen Le didn't dare to ask, but the seller asked him: "I wonder if you can make medicine?" Then he pointed to the light computer on Wen Le's wrist, the meaning was self-evident.
Wen Le suddenly realized, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to do it yet, but I'll learn it once I log into the intranet."
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that the Healers Association was so selfless that all registered healers could learn to make a common potion free of charge.
This kind of potion may not be worth mentioning outside, but in abandoned stars, especially in Area B and the safe area without levels, it is a hot commodity.
The old man's smile deepened. "If you learn how to make medicine in the future, I can provide you with the herbs for free, and we can split the finished product 50-50."
Aowei understood the market and knew that the price was very fair, so he quickly hinted to Wen Le to agree to it.
After receiving Ovi's hint, Wen Le thought about it and nodded in agreement. It didn't matter who he was selling it to, not to mention that the other party was giving the herbs for free. Such a good opportunity to practice was rare.
