Sang Luoluo took out the tent.
Lying on the cushions, Sang Luoluo opened her wristwatch and checked the posts on the Guard Evolved Human ' side. Many people were posting missions, and many were vying for them to earn rewards. Compared to recruitment in other places, Sang Luoluo felt the Guard Humans were quite trustworthy. At least they had information records at the base, and their information could be easily checked.
Sang Luoluo carefully edited the task details.
[Bounty: Repair a house. Requirements include house building, wall repair, carpentry, heavy lifting, etc. Some tasks are complex and require quick work. Payment is daily. DM if interested.]
She chose to conceal her information, and no one else could see her true identity.
Sang Luoluo wondered if anyone would accept the task. Soon, her wristwatch beeped, indicating that someone had seen the task she posted and sent her a private message.
The other party's information was also hidden; it was a string of gibberish.
The other party: [Do you need more people for the mission?]
Sang Luoluo replied: [Yes, I will.]
The other party: [Can the payment be settled with food?]
Food? Of course! Sang Luoluo thought that food was the hard currency in the market right now. Not knowing how the market price was calculated, she replied, "[How about potatoes?]"
The other party: [What's the radiation level?]
Sang Luoluo replied: [No radiation, is two potatoes a day okay? The work is a bit messy.]
Sang Luoluo thought she would try to lower the price first, and then add potatoes when he made his demands.
The other party: [Deal, you can start working now. If I work an extra half-day this afternoon, can that count as one potato?]
Huh? You agreed so easily? And you're so eager to do so?
Sang Luoluo quickly replied: [Of course, one potato for the whole afternoon.]
The other party: [Address]
Sang Luoluo gave him the address of the villa and told him to contact her when he arrived.
The Guard isn't far from here; if they're fast, it might only take about twenty minutes. It's only noon now, and that person has been here for two days. This one potato is worth it.
Sang Luoluo planned to lie down and rest for a while, but Sang Yunpu wasn't tired at all. He was busy connecting the water pipes, having a great time.
Sang Luoluo glanced at it from the side and squinted for a while.
Twenty minutes later, I heard a beeping sound from my watch.
[We've arrived; we're at the door.]
Sang Luoluo got up and said, "So fast, they're here already."
Hearing the commotion from Sang Luoluo's side, Sang Yunpu, "Send someone over to try first; if it doesn't work, make him leave immediately."
"Understood." Sang Luoluo got up and went outside. Opening the door, she saw a familiar handsome face and exclaimed in surprise, "Captain Qi... Captain Qi... what brings you here?"
Sang Luoluo looked outside the door, but there was no one else there.
Chapter 71: This is so serious, if he keeps buying like this he'll have a heart attack.
Qi Feng was clearly surprised as well, seemingly not expecting to see an acquaintance upon opening the door— Sang Luoluo, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He quickly regained his composure, his deep eyes remaining calm, and said, "It was the mission I took."
"Ah... oh, please come in." Sang Luoluo led him in. His hair was longer than the last time she saw him, and it was a little messy. It was clear that he had been in a hurry on his journey.
The travel-worn look on his face, coupled with his expressionless expression, gave him a slightly colder air than when I last saw him, but it didn't detract from his good looks at all. However, the dilapidated and somewhat rusty motorcycle behind him added an indescribable charm to his appearance.
He's undeniably handsome, and undeniably poor. It's a completely different story from when he drove the military truck.
Qi Feng spoke first, "Can my car be pushed in? It's not safe to leave it outside."
"Of course you can." There's plenty of space in the yard; you can put it anywhere.
She was just curious: if Captain Qi wasn't on missions with the Guard, why was he taking on these odd jobs? Could it be that because of the recent meteor shower, the Guard had some spare manpower, so Captain Qi was doing bounty missions to earn some extra money when he had free time?
" Captain Qi, isn't the Guard busy lately?" Sang Luoluo asked as she led him in.
Qi Feng said in a deep, calm voice, "Don't call me Captain Qi anymore. I've already left the Guard."
"Huh? Why?" Sang Luoluo turned around in surprise, meeting Qi Feng's deep eyes, which held no emotion. Knowing she had asked too much, Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "I was just asking casually. It's okay if you don't answer. Let's get to work."
Sang Luoluo had a fairly good impression of Qi Feng. He had relied on Sang Luoluo abilities on several previous missions, and she had even Sang Luoluo his life last time. So, he had nothing to hide and replied in a low voice, "Something happened at home, and the Guard are too busy to help."
"Oh." Sang Luoluo shut her mouth at the right moment and didn't ask any more questions.
"What do I need to do now?" Qi Feng asked, looking around at Sang Luoluo's villa. There were many damaged parts, and the windows were missing. It wouldn't take much effort to repair them. He wondered what she wanted to change. He just felt a little strange. It hadn't been that long since he last saw her, Sang Luoluo was already living in a villa. Comparisons are indeed interesting.
Perhaps he was overthinking it. When they first met, Sang Luoluo was not simple at all. At least he felt that Sang Luoluo was not as poor as he had imagined. When they first met, the raincoat and rain boots she was wearing were not the clothes of an ordinary shantytown dweller.
That's their own secret, and he had no interest in probing further.
Seeing that they had gotten to the point, Sang Luoluo quickly called Sang Yunpu over as well, and introduced Qi Feng, who was the former captain of the S17 Squad of the Guard.
When Sang Yunpu heard Sang Luoluo say that she would be given two potatoes a day, he stared at Sang Luoluo wide-eyed. "Are you crazy? Two potatoes a day? Do you know what the prices are like now?"
It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with two potatoes; it was just that the potatoes Sang Luoluo brought out were all large, each one the size of a palm, equivalent to two or three potatoes on the market. Moreover, they were radiation-free, making them even more valuable.
Of course, fearing he might misunderstand, Sang Yunpu continued to explain, "My sister is young and doesn't understand. She doesn't know the prices outside. Giving you a potato a day isn't cheaper than the price outside. One potato my sister brings out is equivalent to two or three outside."
After hearing Sang Yunpu's explanation, Qi Feng didn't refuse. He had initially come because he was attracted by the reward of two radiation-free potatoes. He had initially thought they were the same size potatoes as those in the market, but now that they were larger, there was essentially no difference. The reward was also much better than many other jobs outside, so he immediately agreed, "Okay."
"Brother, we already agreed on this before he came. It wouldn't be good to go back on our word now," Sang Luoluo said, especially since he's someone she knows.
Qi Feng said, "Let's leave it at that. Your things didn't just fall from the sky."
"What do you need me to do?" Qi Feng asked, looking around to assess how much work he could do.
Sang Luoluo and Sang Yunpu had already discussed it. Sang Yunpu said, "Let's install the glass first. The temperature is dropping quite quickly, so we need to install better heat-insulating glass. You'll come with me to buy it. Also, we need to install underfloor heating indoors, and install solar panels everywhere in the yard and on the roof. In addition, we need to build two large wooden beds. The basement also needs to be cleaned, and another floor needs to be built upstairs. That's all for now. After that, there's other work to be done."
Qi Feng asked, "Do you have any tools for working?"
There were some Sang Yunpu had bought before, but compared to other construction tools, they were still far from enough. Sang Yunpu showed him the tools at home, "Take a look and see if there's anything else you're missing?"
Qi Feng had some experience; in their line of work, you had to know a little bit about everything. Over time, Qi Feng himself became proficient in everything, and not only him, but also his subordinates, all knew a little bit about it.
Sang Luoluo didn't want to be unable to live a comfortable life now that she had a villa, so she said, "We'll buy whatever we need. We might need it again later."
Qi Feng said, "I suggest you rent some construction tools; they can be bought at the market outside."
Sang Yunpu knew that renting would be more cost-effective, but Sang Luoluo immediately rejected the idea, saying, "No need to rent, let's just buy it. It'll be useful for other things later. We already have a storage room at home, so we can put it there."
"Let's go together."
Qi Feng kindly reminded him, "This is no small expense."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "I know. Oh, and I have one more request: you mustn't reveal any information about the work you've done at our house to anyone else."
"Okay." Qi Feng had never had the habit of talking big.
"Are we going to walk there? That might not be very convenient," Sang Yunpu said. "It would be great if we had a car."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo realized that she couldn't find an excuse to take out the cars in her spatial storage for the time being, and besides, she wasn't home, and it would be inconvenient for Sang Yunpu to travel without a car. She said, "Let's go buy them now."
Qi Feng was astonished by the brother and sister's decisive actions. He was surprised but didn't show it on his face. How did Sang Luoluo become so wealthy?
Qi Feng knew where to buy used cars. New cars were hard to find these days, and they were very expensive. Qi Feng drove his motorcycle with Sang Yunpu on the back, and Sang Luoluo followed behind in a wheelchair. They didn't go very fast, and after more than half an hour, Qi Feng finally arrived at a used car market.
After the meteor shower, this place was clearly not as bustling as before, but there were some nicer cars on the road. Mainly because some families were struggling to make ends meet, and their cars were just sitting there unused. It would be better if they could exchange them for food or contribute points.
