Chapter 10: Offsetting with Radiation Detectors
Shi Yuebai was holding a sprouted potato in his hand.
When she was about to hand it over, she thought for a moment and put her hand back.
Shi Ersao just thought that she was reluctant to give it up, after all, Shi Yuebai used to be very protective of his food.
Anyone who snatches food from Shi Yuebai will make Shi Yuebai very unhappy.
She would lie there and curse non-stop, while the people in the Shi family especially doted on Shi Yuebai.
Even though life was so difficult, they still gritted their teeth and tried their best to make Shi Yuebai feel happier and better.
So no one in the Shi family would compete with Shi Yuebai for food.
Everyone would rather go hungry than tolerate Shi Yuebai.
Shi Ersao was not surprised at all that Shi Yuebai would protect her potatoes.
But in fact, Shi Yuebai took the potato back not because she was reluctant to give up the food she would have with it.
But Shi Yuebai felt that someone was repairing a flatbed cart for her.
But she gave someone a highly radioactive potato, which is a bit of a shame.
Although Shi Yuebai often did inappropriate things when he was in the Wu clan.
But she is still very principled on this point.
If someone gives her something of high value, she will never take advantage of them for even a small amount of money.
Shi Yuebai held a potato in one hand and covered the potato with his other fat palm.
She closed her eyes, mobilized a little fat energy, and continued to convert it.
A small purification spell appeared on the palm of his hand.
The soul power converted from the energy of fat was used through the purification spell to purify the high radiation in the small sprouting potato.
A few minutes later, Shi Yuebai handed the sprouted potato in his hand to Shi Ersao.
"Give it to him."
Shi Ersao was confused, not knowing why Shi Yuebai changed his mind again.
She couldn't figure it out.
But he still did as Shi Yuebai said and took the potato to find the strange man in the tarpaulin next door.
The strange man didn't say anything at first. He took the potato and was about to eat it voraciously.
But a rough wristband on his hand suddenly sounded a prompt:
[Detection: 0 radiation contaminated potatoes.]
An expression of surprise appeared on Shi Ersao's face.
I suddenly felt regretful and didn't know how to describe it.
The Shi family lived in poverty and could not afford to care about so many things.
Once food is found, it doesn’t matter whether it has low radiation or medium or high radiation, as long as it is edible, it’s fine.
The Shi family didn't have the money to buy instruments that could detect the radiation levels in food.
Few people outside the city would wear such an instrument.
But I didn't expect that it was right next door to Shi's house.
This weirdo, who no one in the team wants to deal with, actually has an instrument that can detect the radiation level in food.
If the people in the team knew about this, they would have come to rob it long ago.
The skinny, bearded weirdo paused what he was doing.
His hair was disheveled, like a chicken coop that had been blown apart.
A pair of eyes shined in the hair that had not been washed for who knows how long.
He looked at Shi Ersao.
Shi Ersao waved her hand, indicating that she would not take the potato back.
Although she also didn't know why there was a potato with zero radiation among the pile of sprouted potatoes at home.
But since it has been given away, there is no way to ask for it back.
Seeing this, the second sister-in-law waved her hand, and the strange man finally opened his black and yellow teeth with confidence.
He ate the small potato in two bites.
They ate the skin and the dirt on it.
After eating the little potato, the weirdo smacked his lips, as if he was still savoring the taste of this little potato with zero radiation.
Shi Ersao was standing by and waiting.
After watching the weirdo savor it, he went to find some wrenches and wire.
In no time, he repaired the four wheels at the bottom of the broken flatbed cart.
When the delivery was made, the weirdo turned around.
He dug out a very rough wristband from his pile of junk parts.
The wristband is tied with ordinary hemp rope, which looks particularly rugged.
But there is a round thing in the middle, like an eye.
When Second Sister-in-law touched it, her heart began to beat wildly, "This...we don't have money to buy it."
The weirdo gave her a radiation detector.
But it is obviously not the types of radiation detectors sold in the city.
Judging from the workmanship, I'm afraid it was made by some weirdo who found the materials himself.
The weirdo's voice was hoarse.
"You gave me too much. I don't have any change."
"Use this to offset it."
It doesn't take a zero-radiation potato to fix a broken flatbed cart.
Any food without any radiation contamination, even sprouted potatoes, can be sold at a sky-high price in big cities.
A weirdo is also someone who is unwilling to take advantage of others.
Shi Ersao nodded, pushed a flatbed cart and a radiation detector, and returned to her tarpaulin.
After listening to what Shi Ersao said, Shi Yuebai thought for a moment.
"Go back in a couple of days and bring him two potatoes. Ask him if he has any extra radiation detectors."
It was her negligence that made her fail to anticipate that the weirdo next door was actually quite capable.
He picked up so many spare parts and garbage that everyone treated him as a beggar and a person with mental problems.
No one wants to pay attention to such a person.
But I didn't expect that this kind of person is actually a treasure, and he can actually make something like a radiation detector by himself.
Shi Ersao didn't expect that her neighbor was actually such a master.
She happily took the radiation detector,
"In the future, when we scavenge for food, we'll be able to identify whether it has high, medium, or low radiation levels."
The lower the radiation level of food, the higher its value.
Although Shi Ersao felt very sorry about the potato with zero radiation that she had just given away.
But now that the flatbed cart is repaired, Shi Yuebai and Shi Yaoyao can be placed on it.
The three of them can go out to scavenge together.
She is blind, but Shi Yaoyao and Shi Yuebai have good eyesight.
Thinking of this, Shi Ersao quickly touched the pile of small potatoes under the tarpaulin.
She used her newly acquired radiation detector to test the small potatoes one by one.
[Detection: 100% radiation-contaminated potatoes.]
[Detection: 97% of potatoes were contaminated with radiation.]
[Detection: 50% of potatoes contaminated with radiation.]
…
By then, my second sister-in-law had finished testing all the small potatoes and found two potatoes with moderate radiation.
She held the two moderately radioactive potatoes, not knowing what to do.
If there was no radiation detector, I would just eat the food as soon as I saw it.
But at that time, my second sister-in-law knew that all these potatoes were highly contaminated with radiation.
There were only two potatoes with radiation levels below 50%.
What should she do with these two radioactive potatoes?
Should I sell the points or eat them myself?
Shi Yuebai saw that she was in trouble,
"Keep it for yourself. I never intended to sell these potatoes for points anyway."
Second Sister-in-law: "This..."
For a family like theirs, isn't it too much of a luxury to eat food with moderate radiation?
Is there anyone here?
Oh my god, I'm already exhausted.
