Chapter 16 Accommodation



Ji Xian walked over and indeed saw many bracelet-like bracelets.

If it weren't for the tiny buttons on these bracelets, Ji Xian would have really thought they were ordinary bracelets.

Ji Xian looked at the messy arrangement of the bracelets and was speechless again.

On one side of the shelf, there were also many miscellaneous pieces of equipment.

Ji Xian was speechless that such a sophisticated device as a bracelet was mixed in with other random things.

But seeing that there were still medical equipment and medicines on a shelf, Ji Xian stopped worrying about it.

Fortunately, the gene enhancement drug wasn't taken out of this pile of junk, otherwise Ji Xian would have felt it wasn't clean.

Of course, it wasn't that it was actually unclean, but Ji Xian felt it was unhygienic and unclean. The infirmary he grew up in was always neat and tidy and filled with the smell of disinfectant. Suddenly seeing medicine stored in this kind of environment was psychologically hard for him to accept.

Ji Xian wasn't very familiar with bracelets, so he asked Xia Luoxue for recommendations.

Xia Luoxue said, "Because of the limitations of appearance, the bracelets are not too complicated. So, the performance is distinguished by color. For example, my light green bracelet is the cheapest and has the worst performance. It can only store 1,000 energy points, while the pure black bracelet has the best performance and can store 100,000 energy points."

Ji Xian asked in a low voice, "How much will this black bracelet cost?"

Xia Luoxue glanced at the labels on the shelf, pointed to one, and said, "This costs 200 energy points."

Ji Xian had actually seen the label, but he just couldn't believe the numbers on it.

He worried that it wasn't 200 points, but 2 million or something else.

Upon hearing Xia Luoxue confirm that it was 200 energy points, Ji Xian immediately smiled and said, "I'll buy it, I'll buy it."

As Ji Xian spoke, he took two black bracelets and went to the old man at the counter to pay.

Xia Luoxue exclaimed from behind, "What are you doing with two of them?" Suddenly realizing something, she immediately covered her mouth with her small hand and stopped talking, but her gaze towards Ji Xian became even more complicated.

Ji Xian walked to the counter, and as he moved, the muzzle of the automatic aiming gun next to the counter always adjusted to follow his movements.

Ji Xian was never used to this way of shopping.

The pressure is immense.

Ji Xian called out to Xia Luoxue, "Come and pay quickly, then we'll leave."

Xia Luoxue hurriedly ran over to pay.

After settling the bill, Ji Xian immediately left the general store and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a lousy place! I'm never coming here again!"

If buying something causes so much stress, wouldn't buying things multiple times lead to mental exhaustion?

A middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face approached with a smile: "Have you two finished buying?"

"Hmm." Ji Xian responded and turned his head. It was really disgusting that the middle-aged man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks had a mouthful of yellow teeth when he smiled. Moreover, when he came closer, he also gave off a sour smell that came from not having bathed for a long time, which made Ji Xian very depressed.

Xia Luoxue probably guessed Ji Xian's displeasure and said, "Zhang Pengju, please step aside. We need to discuss our upcoming itinerary first."

Zhang Pengju is the name of this middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face. Xia Luoxue had just exchanged bracelet numbers with him and learned his name from the bracelet.

Zhang Pengju said, "Okay." Then he stepped aside and went to keep watch.

Xia Luoxue asked, "Should we head back to the house in the abandoned city, or just find somewhere to hide for the night?"

Ji Xian thought for a moment and said, "It's so late, it's not realistic to rush back. Besides, you said that nighttime is much more dangerous than daytime. By the way, can we not just find any random place? Are there no hotels or guesthouses in this world? Can't we stay in a guesthouse?"

"Uh...yes."

Xia Luoxue had never considered hotels before because she was poor. Her habitual thinking was to find a place to hide and sleep for one night.

Xia Luoxue called to Zhang Pengju, "Take us to the safest hotel; we need to stay for one night."

"Okay."

As usual, Zhang Pengju led the way, while Xia Luoxue followed slowly behind on her motorcycle.

But after a short while, Zhang Pengju slowed down and came closer.

Ji Xianhao was speechless and asked, "What do you want to say? Just say it."

Zhang Pengju chuckled again: "Hehe, I can't hide it from you. I noticed that you were being watched as soon as you left the auction house. They've been secretly following us."

Ji Xian frowned. Could it be that Jemoka sent someone to follow them?

Zhang Pengju then boasted, "You see, hiring me is definitely worth more than your money, isn't it?"

Ji Xian: "Hmm, you can tell who's following us?"

Zhang Pengju pretended to be in a difficult position: "Well, I have to find a way to investigate. You know, if you want to find the most complete information, the cost will definitely not be low. After all, this kind of thing is also something that can offend people. If I'm not careful, I could lose my life."

Ji Xian cut to the chase: "How many do you want?"

Zhang Pengju led the two men the way and knew they were wealthy, so he silently held up two fingers.

Ji Xian frowned and said, "Twenty it is. I'll give it to you after it's done, but you must give me the best information."

Zhang Pengju was so frightened that his legs trembled. He only wanted to ask for 2 energy points, but he didn't expect this guy to give him 20 directly.

What else is there to say? We must do our best to complete this task for the boss.

Zhang Pengju patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly for you. Damn it, whoever dares to follow you, sir, I will find out everything about his ancestors."

Ji Xian was completely speechless.
