Chapter 217 - 217: Buying Gold, Ambushed (Part 1)
008 was throwing a celebration in Tang Susu’s mind. If it wasn’t for its low level, it would have physically pounced on the golden hill and given it a bite.
Tang Susu was also a little excited, but she didn’t show it on her face. “How did you come up with selling gold?”
Before the stall owner could say anything, someone beside him chimed in with a familiar and mocking tone.
“It’s all because Old Chen treats these as treasures and has to bring them with him even when he’s escaping. He said that gold is a currency that has been passed down since ancient times. Gold can help him secure a better life.”
“Who knew that there would be crystal cores in the zombies’ heads? Everyone is so desperate for it now that they can even use it as a medium of exchange. It soon became popular, but it’s quite hard for ordinary people like us who can’t kill zombies. We can only trade something for something else, and they have to be of value!”
As he spoke, he quickly picked up a gigantic pile of clothes and promoted them. “Hey, do you want to buy some clothes? I have everything here!”
“Dresses, summer shirts, fall outfits, underwear, sweaters, down jackets… I’ve left them at home though. If you want them, I’ll go get them for you. I have plenty of selection. I bought them from the mall. They’re all from branded stores. The quality is top-notch, and I even have limited-edition ones!”
The man finished speaking all of that in one go, worrying that she would leave.
Tang Susu’s lips twitched as she looked at the Guccis, Chanels, and LVs that she had never been willing to buy in the past.
“Why don’t you take a look, miss? You’ve been wearing your clothes for a long time, haven’t you?” Seeing that Tang Susu was unmoved, the stall owner immediately changed his target and started to persuade Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan could vaguely smell the sweat on her body. When she compared it to Tang Susu’s fragrant and sweet scent that smelled like refreshing fruit candy, her face instantly turned red, and she could not help but take another look at those clothes.
Thinking about how she had nothing and was still thick-skinned enough to live with Tang Susu and the others, she quickly retracted her gaze.
Tang Susu squatted down and started to choose from the pile of branded goods.
Seeing that the clothes attracted them, the gold stall owner’s expression became even more dejected. He could not help but glare at the guy who was trying to snatch his business.
“Hey, don’t glare at me. Who knows if you can sell any of those?”
“Why can’t I sell it? Last time, someone bought a big thick chain and gave me a bag of biscuits!”
“That person just went out and found some supplies. How much food and water do you think there is outside? No one dares to waste any at all. Now that no one produces them anymore, we’ll never be able to recover what we’ve already spent! The worst is yet to come!”
While the two of them were bickering, Tang Susu quickly picked out two sets of dirt-resistant, simple, and refreshing sports summer clothes.
She also picked a few small undergarments and underwear for Cheng Yuan.
The girl was flattered.
The stall owner hurriedly took out a bag and carefully bagged them for her. “I only need two packets of instant noodles for them. Drinking water and other food will do too. It’s about the price of two bags of instant noodles.”
After saying that, she looked at Tang Susu with a look of anticipation, his mouth almost unable to suppress the saliva that was rapidly secreting.
“Alright.” Tang Susu looked at the others’ expressions and knew that he was honest with the price.
Although she had so many supplies in her inventory and pocket dimension that they were about to overflow, it did not mean that she could spend extravagantly.
“Go to No. 2 Siheyuan over there and find someone called Tang Mingzhou. Tell him my name and he’ll know what to do.”
“Okay, okay. Got it!” He replied happily, but in his heart, he was extremely curious.
There were only three Siheyuan with four courtyards in the shelter. Shi Shaochen lived in the first one and the other two were always empty. Even Master Zuo and Zuo Xun were not qualified to live in them.
Has asked for too little!
It was too late for regrets. Before he could say anything, the girl turned around and returned to the gold stall beside her.
The stall owner called Chen was stunned for a moment, and the stall owner selling clothes was also unable to react.
“How many grams of gold are there in total?” Tang Susu asked.
“Miss, they can’t be measured in grams. It’s a few hundred kilograms at least! Or about 50,000 grams. If we follow the gold price of 500 yuan per gram, these can be sold for 25 million!”
25 million was a sky-high price at any time, but no one was interested in them. A piece of cake might draw more attention than that.
The stall owner selling clothes shook his head when he heard about it, thinking that he didn’t know how to actually conduct any business..
