"Let's start with arm strength and endurance training."
Endurance training is running, but not in the usual sense of running on a treadmill. It's the kind of running that simulates a dangerous outdoor environment, like being chased by wild animals.
As for arm strength, Qi Feng immediately increased the intensity of his training, making her practice climbing.
Yes, they start with rock climbing right away, and the effect is very realistic.
An hour later, breakfast was ready, Sang Luoluo, exhausted like a dog, emerged from the basement.
She's not picky about food anymore. Sang Yunpu cooked vegetable porridge and boiled eggs with pickled vegetables. Sang Luoluo usually only eats one or two eggs, but this morning she ate six in one go.
He drank a whole large bowl of porridge before he was satisfied.
Chapter 86: The price is very high; the cost is higher than that of a motorcycle...
Before leaving, Sang Luoluo put the ice from the bucket outside last night into the Stasis Zone of her space and replaced it with a new batch of water.
Sang Luoluo braved the hailstorm to go to the laboratory and began her morning work clearing the hail.
For the next 10 days, Sang Luoluo spent her days in the lab clearing hail and moving items. The work wasn't heavy. The rest of the time, when she could go home, she trained at home. When she couldn't go home, she rested in the lab. When she couldn't use the equipment to train, Sang Luoluo took out dumbbells to practice her arm strength.
After persisting for about ten days, it did have some effect.
Her body gradually adapted to the fatigue of training, and she began to feel lighter. She slept better every day, and her appetite improved. There was no way around it; she was exhausted every day from training.
After the hailstorm passed, the laboratory organized a field mission, this time led by Dr. Wang himself, with the base's S-class Guard providing protection.
Sang Luoluo and Jian Cheng were naturally going as well. Jian Cheng was doing the work of an assistant, while Sang Luoluo was mainly responsible for transporting specimens and packing living supplies for everyone to make it easier to go out.
For her safety, Qi Feng protected her and went on missions with her.
Sang Yunpu was a little worried, so he told Sang Luoluo to contact him whenever she had time.
Sang Luoluo agreed, and the night before she was to leave, Sang Luoluo decided to go to the black market to get some weapons.
She knew all too well how dangerous it was to be out in the wild in winter, not to mention the harsh environment outside, where anything could happen.
With ample weapons at her disposal, she felt at ease.
This time, Sang Yunpu went along, and the three of them went to the black market.
Sang Luoluo contacted the executives from the last auction directly.
The executive was incredibly excited when the " Eating Expert " contacted him. The cherries they exchanged last time were absolutely delicious, each one sweet to the core. The boss had specifically instructed him to contact the " Eating Expert " no matter what, just for the rare fruits she had, and to try and negotiate the price of the weapons.
Sang Luoluo and the executive exchanged a few words on their wristwatches and roughly understood the executive's intentions. It meant that if there were any more large cherries, they should contact him proactively and not sell them to anyone else. He was willing to negotiate the types and prices of weapons on his end.
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo thought, "That's wonderful!"
When the night market opened in the evening, I pushed two carts directly to the auction.
Each cart was piled high with bags, a dozen or so bags and boxes tightly bound together.
As soon as the executive saw Sang Luoluo arrive with a cart, he personally welcomed her inside. "[ Eating Expert ], it's been a long time since you've been here. What would you like to order this time?"
Seeing the two truckloads of goods behind the [ Eating Expert ], I couldn't be more satisfied.
"Let's go, let's take a look at your warehouse." Sang Luoluo said calmly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger, making the executives think that [ Eating Expert ] must be no ordinary person. To be able to transport goods from other bases into the base without anyone noticing right under the base's nose, she must have considerable power.
Sang Luoluo led her people into the auction house's warehouse.
Just like last time she came in, Sang Luoluo only wanted to carefully select a suitable weapon for going out. Qi Feng had the most experience in this area, so it was most appropriate for him to choose.
As for Sang Yunpu, it was his first time here, and he was dazzled by the many weapons that could not be seen outside, which made him very tempted. However, when he thought about how much food he would have to exchange for these things, he was even more reluctant to part with them.
Sang Luoluo followed Qi Feng. Considering Sang Luoluo's financial situation, Qi Feng chose weapons that were easy to carry, use, and cost-effective. He took a liking to the boxes of bombs on the shelf. These bombs were more than 10 times more powerful than ordinary hand grenades, and they were also safer, making them suitable for her.
Seeing the two of them looking at the bomb, the executive began to explain, "This bomb is more than ten times more powerful than a regular hand grenade. It can kill most mutant animals instantly. Because of its immense power, be careful when using it, and it's best to keep your distance."
Sang Luoluo saw 10 bombs in a box and asked, "I'll pay the price; you can trade if you want."
The executive smiled and said, "Okay, you make the first bid."
Sang Luoluo rummaged through the car and found a box of fresh oranges, about thirty in total, weighing more than ten pounds.
"A box of oranges for a box of bombs, no bargaining."
Sang Luoluo had seen the underground planting base, where most of the crops grown were staple foods. Putting aside the taste, the quality was definitely not as good as hers.
The executive couldn't keep his smile going and was about to say more to haggle when Sang Luoluo continued, "We don't have oranges of this quality at our base. I spent a lot of money to bring them back from other bases."
Not to mention the boss, he also really enjoyed it, so he nodded and said, "Sure, how many cases would you like?"
Sang Luoluo thought the bombs were really good and easy to use. "Ten boxes."
The executive smiled and said, "Sure. We'll pack it for you right away."
Qi Feng carefully inspected each box of bombs before moving them to his car.
The executives also inspected the 10 boxes of oranges to ensure that there were no rotten fruits, that they were all uniform in size, and that they emitted a fresh fruity aroma—a quality that could not be found anywhere else in the entire farm.
Sang Luoluo continued reading.
He spotted a laser gun and, thinking that Qi Feng should also have one, said with a smile, "Give me one of these, and I'll give you two bottles of red wine."
As he spoke, he turned around and pulled a small box from the car behind him. Inside were two bottles of red wine. The labels on them had been smeared off, but it was clear that they were well-preserved.
The executive's eyes lit up; this was good stuff.
Not only the executives, but even Qi Feng's pupils behind the mask shrank slightly. How could she even have such high-end goods?
A laser gun was installed and placed in the car behind.
On the shelves behind, there were many weapons and equipment. Qi Feng walked to a shelf and saw a retractable rope with a grappling hook. He pointed to it and said, "We should stock up on more of these ropes. They're made of a special material that doesn't break easily, and they're lightweight and easy to carry."
Seeing that the " Eating Expert " had such knowledgeable people around him, the executives were even more impressed with the " Eating Expert," their smiles widened, and their service became even better.
Sang Luoluo looked at them and said, "I want 20 retractable ropes, and I'll give you 100 jin of rice."
Qi Feng turned to look at her. "!!!"
Sang Yunpu listened from behind, his heart bleeding.
Upon hearing about rice, the executive knew that it was something the base almost never saw, and even when a little was available, it was controlled by the base's higher-ups. He knew without a doubt that the boss would love it. "We can trade," he said.
Qi Feng went to the car and brought back a bag of rice. Both parties inspected the goods on the spot and handed them over after confirming that everything was correct.
Qi Feng continued looking, pausing briefly on a small off-road motorcycle. "This kind of vehicle is very fast, it's rechargeable, and has a range of 500 kilometers. It's suitable for use in the wild and jungle."
Sang Luoluo's eyes lit up when she saw it. The motorcycle wasn't big, but the materials used were obviously high-quality; the thickness and material of the tires were very sturdy.
Sang Luoluo really wanted it.
Seeing that the " Eating Expert " had taken a liking to it, the executive quickly explained with a smile, "This kind of motorcycle is very expensive to manufacture; its total value is more than all the things you just traded in combined. So..."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "I understand. How about this, I'll bring out something a little rare too, 100 bananas?"
The executive was stunned. "Bananas! Those are tropical fruits. The nearest banana-producing area is several days' journey away. If you have any, of course you can."
Although the motorcycles are expensive to build, the boss will definitely like them when he sees this food. Motorcycles can be rebuilt, but if you miss out on the bananas, they won't be available again.
Sang Luoluo to the box behind her, counted the bananas—eight bunches in total. She then Sang Luoluo and tossed one to each of Sang Yunpu and Qi Feng.
Sang Yunpu peeled off the skin and started eating it heartily, while Qi Feng put it into his backpack.
With the last one left, Sang Luoluo tossed it to the executive, "Eat it."
"Thank you, thank you." The executive was extremely grateful, not expecting to receive a share. He was too embarrassed to ask for a high price. Last time, the [ Eating Expert ] gave him a box of cherries, and he couldn't stop eating a few. He insisted on keeping them for himself and his family. Now, his children ask him every day, "Dad, I really want to eat cherries, are there any more?"
I can't even think about it, because just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Qi Feng immediately loaded the motorcycle onto the vehicle.
Sang Luoluo continued, "Could you prepare a spare tire, parts, and spare battery for the motorcycle? And you can have the remaining 30 bananas too."
"Okay, I'll go get it for you."
The executive smiled and said, "Having taken the benefits from the [ Eating Expert ], the price isn't so rigidly fixed anymore."
Qi Feng continued selecting, "This kind of thunder is also good; it's very loud and can scare away some mutated animals."
