Qi Feng was reluctant to part with so many sweet potatoes. He rarely saw so much high-quality, radiation-free food. He knew all too well how precious this kind of food was. Even Young Master Yan Lang of the Guard couldn't get such good food, yet she was just casually putting it out to sell.
Although these things weren't his, he felt extremely distressed looking at them. He now understood why Sang Yunpu didn't want to take her with him when he went shopping; she was just too generous with her money.
Walking down the street, Qi Feng keenly noticed that they were being watched. The people following them had started from the shop they had just left, and some had already noticed how generous they were with their money.
"This way," Qi Feng whispered, "Someone's following us."
Sang Luoluo had experience with this; she and Sang Yunpu had encountered a robbery before, and she didn't know who the robbers were this time.
"Run!" Qi Feng gave the order, and Sang Luoluo started running after him. After turning left and right and crossing several streets, Qi Feng pulled her to hide. The three people who had been chasing them caught up.
"That's strange, they were definitely heading down this street, there's no mistake."
"It might be hidden. Look carefully."
Just as the person in front was about to approach, Qi Feng suddenly leaped out of the shadows and used the top of his large umbrella to punch the person several times. The other two people were also beaten black and blue with a few punches and kicks.
They were also holding laser guns, Sang Luoluo recognized at a glance. These laser guns were similar to the ones she had bought before. Wow, these three have some powerful backing.
Seeing that they were planning to double-cross him, Qi Feng simply stepped forward, snatched their guns, stuffed them into his pocket, and immediately ran away with Sang Luoluo.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Sang Luoluo stored the six large umbrellas into her spatial storage, along with three laser guns.
Qi Feng said, "These three guns are all numbered, it's not safe for me to keep them. You should keep them. These three people have a lot of backing, so don't use these three guns in the base. I'll think of a way to erase the information system on them later."
"Good."
After they were safe, the two changed their attire slightly. Sang Luoluo tied her loose hair into a ponytail, while Qi Feng put on a jacket, which he had bought for Sang Yunpu before. For safety reasons, the two changed their clothes.
Qi Feng asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Sang Luoluo said, "Let's go to the auction. It's been a long time since I've been to an auction. Let's see if they have anything I want."
"A... auction..." Qi Feng had gradually gotten used to it. Sang Luoluo had too many secrets. She could get into auctions; without some kind of family fortune, she wouldn't be able to get in.
Sang Luoluo didn't plan to bring too much stuff to the auction, as it would attract too much attention, so she had Qi Feng carry three styrofoam boxes inside.
Please show me your identification.
This identity, of course, was the identity of the black market. Sang Luoluo showed him the [ Eating Expert ] watch and then led Qi Feng inside.
Sang Luoluo found a seat in the front row and sat down. Someone immediately came over to pour her water, but Sang Luoluo didn't drink it. Instead, she took out two bottles of mineral water from her backpack, one for herself, and watched from below the stage.
The items being auctioned tonight are all everyday winter supplies.
Sang Luoluo found it boring; since bartering was possible here, Sang Luoluo also wanted to do it.
The items presented on stage were mostly food, health products, or collectibles. It was clear that the people in the audience, even during a disaster, did not lack food or drink. What they lacked were rare items.
Sang Luoluo watched from below, but having not encountered what she wanted, could only keep waiting.
The auction house executives knew a big shot had arrived when they saw the name "[ Eating Expert ]". People were still talking about "[ Eating Expert ]'s" exploits at the auction. Sang Luoluo had no idea that her alt account had become so famous in the black market.
It wasn't until a senior executive from the auction house came over personally, bowing his head and speaking softly, that it was finally revealed. "Hello, [ Eating Expert ], we noticed you haven't bid for quite a while this time. Is it because you haven't found anything you like? If there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know, and we'll notify you immediately if we have a corresponding item up for auction."
Qi Feng looked up.
Then Sang Luoluo asked, "Are there any growth potions? The kind that can make severed limbs regrow?"
Qi Feng's eyes flickered; he was also tempted. Then the executive said somewhat apologetically, "To be honest, this stuff is very rare. The base has strict controls on it; it's not allowed to enter the black market."
Sang Luoluo asked, "Is there any way to get it? If you can provide me with useful information, I can offer you a reward."
Upon hearing this, the executive chuckled and said, "I do know that this kind of drug only exists in the base's secret laboratory vault. Each vial is numbered. It's said to be a growth-promoting liquid extracted from a special species collected in the wild. Its activity is limited, and even if it gets onto the black market, it will quickly lose its effectiveness after being smuggled out."
Sang Luoluo never expected that this thing would be in the laboratory, and that it was unique to the laboratory.
Sang Luoluo felt this information was very important, and said to Qi Feng beside her, "Give him a box."
Qi Feng hesitated for a moment, but still gave him a styrofoam box.
Although I don't know what's inside, if this styrofoam box is filled with potatoes, it's worth quite a bit.
Gao thanked them and casually opened the package to take a look. His eyes lit up when he saw the big, bright red cherries inside.
Afraid that others would see, he quickly closed the lid.
His voice trembled with joy; he was right, the [ Eating Expert ] was indeed very generous.
"Is there anything else you'd like to know?" The executive's attitude became even better and more attentive.
When Qi Feng saw that the box was filled with large cherries, he clenched his fists. He had thought Sang Luoluo was very wealthy, but she was actually even wealthier than he had imagined.
Sang Luoluo asked, "Are there any weapons here?"
The executive quickly shared everything he knew, "Yes, besides what's on stage, our auction also specializes in weapons. If you're interested, you can come with me to the armory in the back."
"Walk."
Sang Luoluo was very interested.
Qi Feng followed.
Holding the remaining two styrofoam boxes.
After turning left and right, we finally arrived at the armory at the back, where the executive personally took the keys and led people inside.
Wanting to let the " Eating Expert " in alone, Qi Feng coldly said, "I'm her bodyguard."
"Then we can go in." The executive thought for a moment, deciding it was best not to offend a major client.
After all, he had heard about the previous times the " Eating Expert " had made her move; she had sold a lot of radiation-free food, such as potatoes, several thousand kilograms of which she had just brought out.
Chapter 83: What made him think he could work with you after this...?
The weapons at this auction were neatly arranged and categorized. Sang Luoluo glanced at them and saw that many of them were ones she had never seen before.
Besides some conventional weapons, there are also some biological weapons, which are described in detail. Among the various mutated plants and animals in the wild, there are also their own natural enemies and things they fear. Some of these biological weapons were specifically developed to target mutated animals and plants. There aren't many here, but it's enough to broaden Sang Luoluo's horizons.
In addition, there are some intelligent devices, intelligent robots, integrated offensive and defensive weapons and equipment, etc.
Sang Luoluo was dazzled by the sight, while Qi Feng, after looking through it once, had a general idea of what it was like. The Guard also had all the weapons here, but many of them were in very limited quantities. Even the Guard couldn't just take them out to use casually because they were expensive and could only be used for very special missions.
Sang Luoluo examined each item one by one. If she were to go into the wild now, the most difficult thing for her would be defense, and this armory even had exoskeleton protective gear.
She had worn it before, and she knew its defensive capabilities all too well. She felt she needed one, no, at least three. One for her and one for her brother, and one as a spare.
Moreover, this exoskeleton protective gear wasn't too expensive in this armory, and Sang Luoluo felt she could afford it.
He pointed to the exoskeleton in front of him, "How much is this thing worth?"
Seeing that she had chosen what she wanted so quickly, the executive hurriedly said, "Actually, our auction house owner doesn't lack contribution points or ordinary food. What the owner needs is radiation-free food. As long as you can offer food or other items of equivalent value, we can exchange them if it's suitable."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo pointed to the two remaining boxes of cherries that Qi Feng was carrying, "Just these two boxes of cherries, see if your boss will trade them. If not, fine. I can go to another auction house."
Each box weighs about 10 kilograms. Sang Luoluo asked Qi Feng to open them and show them to the senior executives so they could inspect the goods.
"This... please wait a moment, let me consult with the boss."
Sang Luoluo waited on the side. This quality of cherry is very difficult to grow at the base. The base mainly grows potatoes and vegetables, which have the highest yield. As for some low-yield, non-satisfying foods, not to mention Base 71, the quantity is extremely scarce in other bases as well, and the supply cannot meet the demand.
Over there, the executive turned around to consult, then said with a smile, "[ Eating Expert ], our boss said that since this is our first time doing business together, we'll give you face and do the deal."
Both parties deliver the goods simultaneously.
The executive, carrying two boxes of cherries, thought about how the " Eating Expert " had even given him a box as a gift—truly generous! He quickly smiled and said, "Welcome to come again next time. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."
