Chapter 2: Stamps Worth Eight Cents Each!



"Su Ruobai, are you alright?" The second male lead, seeing that the person on the bed had woken up, quickly took a step closer.

"I'm fine," Su Ruobai managed to squeeze out.

Then, without leaving a trace, he planned to use his supernatural abilities to repair the excruciating pain in his throat and the back of his head.

Wood-based abilities, at higher levels in the later stages, can have a certain healing effect.

To avoid attracting attention, Su Ruobai only wanted to treat the internal injuries, leaving the surface bruises and abrasions for the time being.

With the use of my superpower, my throat doesn't hurt as much anymore.

But I feel my body getting weaker and weaker.

Su Ruobai's face turned pale instantly.

"Hey, Su Ruobai, what's wrong with you again, doctor? Look, why is her face so pale?" the man shouted again.

The doctor took a closer look and saw that Su Ruobai's face was as pale as paper and her lips were blue.

He also frowned in confusion.

Everything was fine just now!

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Su Ruobai quickly clarified, "I'm fine, I'm just hungry."

"I haven't eaten since yesterday morning."

Su Ruobai was suspended from her job and sent home yesterday morning.

She hasn't eaten or drunk anything.

"Oh, you should have said so earlier! I'll go buy you some food, wait for me." The man said, and then ran off.

Su Ruobai looked around the room.

There are four bunk beds, and I'm currently the only one lying in the innermost one.

The window was half open.

The door was left open as the person went out.

"Doctor, would you like to take a job?" Seeing that no one was around, she asked.

Su Ruobai pretended to have a sore throat and asked the question with difficulty.

He stared intently at the female doctor in front of him without blinking.

The woman was first startled, then delighted.

I looked around to make sure no one was there.

Stepping forward, he asked in a low voice, "Little sister, do you have a job to sell?"

“Yes, he’s a full-time employee at the machinery factory, working as a publicity officer in the office.” Xu Zhiyu slowly sat up.

The female doctor quickly picked up a pillow and placed it behind Su Ruobai's back.

Let her sit up against the bed.

It was the end of June.

The weather is hot.

After Su Ruobai sat down, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

This isn't hot; it's just an illusion.

This body is so useless!

Xu Ruobai coughed twice.

Upon seeing this, the female doctor quickly picked up a chipped enamel mug from the side.

He poured a glass of water for Su Ruobai using a green tin thermos.

These were all rented out by the Women's Director.

The deposit is one dollar, and the daily rent is one cent.

They gave me a discharge certificate when I was finally discharged.

Get reimbursed from the machinery factory.

This is why the female doctor believed it to be worth seven-tenths of the time as soon as she heard there was a job offer.

"Anything is fine, anything is fine, as long as it's a permanent employee, little sister, how many do you want?" The woman was overjoyed when she heard that it was a permanent employee of the machine factory.

Later, upon hearing that it was in the office, he frowned.

It then relaxed again.

In the end, he still looked happy.

“Five hundred. You know, the machinery factory is a big factory. Normally, a job pays at least eight hundred.” Su Ruobai said, frowning slightly.

After saying a few words, he sipped some hot water to calm himself down.

When the woman heard "five hundred," her eyes widened, and she was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

Hearing Su Ruobai's next words, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

He even smiled at the end.

"Okay, okay, five hundred it is. We'll go and complete the formalities tomorrow."

Su Ruobai did not immediately respond after hearing her words.

Instead, he took another slurp of hot water.

He looked completely satisfied.

There was no stench of zombies in the air, nor in the water.

Ah, they all smell sweet.

Seeing that Su Ruobai didn't answer, the woman asked somewhat nervously, "Little sister..."

I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, I'll lose the job I've already secured.

Su Ruobai snapped out of her daze upon hearing her words: "Let's do it this afternoon. Go back and raise the money now. I'll wait for you here."

She's going to the countryside tomorrow, so she doesn't have time.

In this day and age, people who can readily produce several hundred dollars are extremely rare.

She didn't have that much time to search slowly.

I happened to find one, so I had to sell it at a low price!

I took another sip of water.

“If you haven’t gathered enough before you start work this afternoon, I’ll find someone else,” Su Ruobai said to the woman.

His gaze went straight to her eyes.

"I need it urgently, sister, please don't tell anyone."

The woman's expression became anxious as soon as she heard that she had to go to work in the afternoon.

I glanced at my watch; it was 10:14 AM. They were supposed to start work at 1:20 PM.

Hearing that they had to find someone else made them even more anxious.

"There's still time, there's still time. You wait here, don't look for anyone else." The woman stepped forward.

He hurriedly took off his watch and stuffed it into Su Ruobai's hand.

"Sister, this watch is from Shanghai, it's worth over a hundred yuan without the receipt. I'll leave it here as collateral and go get the money right away. Wait for me, don't ask anyone else."

Then he rushed out.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he turned back and added, "Don't look for anyone else!"

After saying that, he quickly left.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Su Ruobai raised the enamel cup in her hand, pretending to drink water, but actually using her mind to draw water from the spiritual spring in the planting space.

He scooped out a cup of spiritual spring water.

After drinking it, I felt completely refreshed and all my weakness disappeared.

This space appeared suddenly in the fourth year after the apocalypse, when she was critically injured and on the verge of death.

Then the jade gourd that he always carried with him disappeared.

It seems they have recognized a master.

She was already unconscious when she was absorbed into the space and immersed in the spiritual spring.
