A dreamless night.
Hearing the rustling sounds of people getting up around her, Shen Tangtang also got up from the bed yawning.
Take your own small basin to the yard to wash.
Seeing Shen Tangtang get up, Lin Daiyu was a little surprised, “Tangtang, didn’t you say you wouldn’t go out to scavenge today? Why are you up so early?”
"Ah...I can't sleep."
Shen Tangtang yawned loudly, and after replying, she wiped her face in a daze.
He looked like he hadn't gotten enough sleep.
Lin Daiyu looked at her suspiciously and said nothing more. After washing up, she walked towards the meeting point with the sisters she had agreed to meet with yesterday.
Shen Tangtang glanced at their backs. They were the other three young ladies that Wang Ma had abandoned yesterday and turned to work in the pit. They were also in the same class as them and would leave the orphanage together next year. She didn't know when Lin Daiyu had agreed to this.
He practiced the moves he had learned in his previous life in the yard for a while, then ran around the orphanage for an hour. He only returned to the small yard to wash up when more and more people were around who had not gone out to scavenge.
"Sister Tangtang, didn't you go out with me to scavenge today?"
Lin Daiyu's sister Lin Qiqi looked at Shen Tangtang who came in from the door with a look of surprise. She was already 10 years old and was raised fair and tender by her sister. Her clear eyes were full of confusion.
"Well, I have something to do today."
Seeing that it was Lin Qiqi, Shen Tangtang had a smile on her face and answered in a brisk tone.
He picked up the small basin he had placed in the corner and walked to the well. "Why are you up so early? I remember there is no morning class today."
"Yesterday Aunt Li asked me to help look after her grandson, and I agreed."
Lin Qiqi wiped her face clean, ran her fingers through her hair, and then said happily, "Sister Tangtang, I'll go first!"
"Go ahead."
Shen Tangtang nodded, thinking of what Lin Daiyu said yesterday, that someone found an energy stone in a piece of wasteland in the south, and this Aunt Li should have gone to join in the fun.
Aunt Li's family was a poor one living next to the orphanage. They often sent their grandson to the orphanage to be taken care of by other children, so they were quite familiar with the orphanage.
Shen Tangtang had packed up and the sky was already slightly bright.
He returned to the bed and picked up his small cloth bag from under his pillow.
It was a small cloth bag the size of an adult woman's palm. It was used by the original owner to carry snacks when she was a child. However, ever since the original owner's parents disappeared in the wild and the original owner died of a fever, Shen Tangtang had never seen the snacks in the small cloth bag again. Now she treated it as a decoration. She felt that going out "shopping" without carrying a bag would be a complete waste.
After walking for more than 10 minutes, I finally saw the exchange hall.
Shen Tangtang hadn't been to the exchange hall many times, so she didn't know which window to use to exchange weapons.
Seeing that the queue was full of people, I just stood behind a queue.
The man in front seemed to sense someone behind him and quickly took a step forward, creating some distance between him and Shen Tangtang.
Shen Tangtang didn't care. It was normal for people in the wasteland world to be a little wary.
After a while, it was Shen Tangtang's turn.
"What do you want to exchange for points or items?"
"Can you help me see how many points these can be exchanged for?"
Shen Tangtang said as she took out a taro root and four leaves from the bag and placed them on the trading table.
"OK."
Looking at the grass roots and leaves in front of him, the waiter picked up the grass roots and put them on the detector without any disdain.
[Test result: Radiation value 21%, edible, 5 kg, 13 points.]
[Test results: Radiation level 20%, trace toxins present, edible, 19 kg, 16 points.]
[Test results: Radiation level 17%, trace toxins present, edible, 22 kg, 18 points.]
[Test results: Radiation level 25%, trace toxins present, edible, 17 kg, 13 points.]
[Test results: Radiation level 24%, trace toxins present, edible, 11 jin, 9 points.]
The waitress looked at Shen Tangtang in surprise. She didn't expect that the radiation value of the food brought by this little girl was so low. Leaves with low radiation values like this are very popular in the noble district, although they contain some slight toxins.
"Congratulations, you have 69 points in total."
The waiter calculated the value displayed on the screen, then smiled and transferred points to Shen Tangtang's account. Finally, he asked, "Do you need any other service?"
Shen Tangtang looked at the waiter, showing two small canine teeth, and said softly: “That’s right, can I change the dagger here?”
Seeing that the girl in front of her was a little shy, the waitress smiled and said, "Yes, you can see what you like."
As she spoke, the young lady clicked a few times on the computer next to her, and pictures of a few items appeared with prices marked below.
It was surprisingly the dagger that Shen Tangtang needed.
A pitch-black dagger was hung high up, and the price marked on it was points.
Shen Tangtang secretly clicked her tongue, wondering if this dagger was a divine weapon or something.
The waitress seemed to see through Shen Tangtang's thoughts and began to explain: "This was found by the superpower team in the mutant beast's lair. It has been tested and is made of black iron. It is extremely sharp, and the groove below can be embedded with energy stones. It is an energy weapon, even..."
The young lady glanced at Shen Tangtang, who was calm and collected, and stopped talking. She said she didn't understand even if she said it, and then scrolled to the bottom, where there were some ordinary daggers with relatively low prices.
Of course Shen Tangtang knew what the young lady meant. She could even easily peel off the hard shell of the mutant beast, as easy as tofu. But what could she do? She didn't have so many points.
In the end, Shen Tangtang chose the dagger with 100 points. It was not that she didn't want to exchange it for one with fewer points, but there was only one dagger with the lowest price of 100 points, and the others were either thousands or tens of thousands of points. No wonder so few people in the safe city had weapons.
I took the dagger handed to me by the young lady. There was an obvious chip on the dagger, although it was repaired very well.
Shen Tangtang was not picky and wrapped it in a sack. Then she asked the waitress, "Do you have any hoes here?"
"Hoe?" The young lady asked in confusion, then glanced at Shen Tangtang's small figure and patiently replied, "Plants grown also have radiation levels, so it's better not to waste your time."
"Yeah, thank you miss, it's okay, I just wanted to try it."
When Shen Tangtang heard her words, she guessed that there was a hoe and nodded obediently.
"20 points for a hoe."
Seeing Shen Tangtang's determined expression, the young lady knew that she shouldn't meddle in other people's business, so she swiped and found the hoe icon.
After paying the points, the young lady went into the warehouse to look for a hoe, and after a while she took out a hoe.
Finally, Shen Tangtang carried the hoe and left the redemption hall with the remaining 12 points. This redemption hall was for points, and she had just received the points before they could even warm up before she left. If she had not had the foresight to take out the taro leaves and taro roots this morning, she would not have been able to buy the dagger and hoe.
After finding a secluded spot and putting the hoe in the space, he walked all the way to the door of the orphanage, avoiding the sunlight. He looked outside and saw that the ground was cracked and dry, and a bucket of water could probably absorb it instantly.
He shook his head and returned to the dormitory.
