'22 Duranium Shards in exchange for a Decrystallizing Serum… I hope I didn't sell it too cheaply.' Zhang Qin Feng shook his head as he continues with his scavenging process. So far, he had collected close to 80grams worth of scrap gold, 500grams worth of scrap silver, about 10grams of scrap platinum, and 100grams of palladium.
He also found a damaged Processing System left behind in one of the flats, along with many damaged electronics. Unfortunately for him, none of them were salvageable because the technical achievement in this post-apocalypse is much more advanced than where he came from.
They have entirely transitioned from using rare earth in their electronics to synthetic material, which promised them much greater flexibility and usability. From what he was informed by Stein, the precious metal he collected now is used solely as jewelry and gift.
[It was a bad exchange. Based on the system's evaluation, selling it for 50 Duranium Shards was consider a wholesaler's price]
Stein's words made Zhang Qin Feng tumbled on the ground from knocking his feet over some pieces of furniture. He was both shocked and stupefied by the harsh reply.
'Fifty shards? Doesn't that mean I'm doing a loss business here? To think that I actually sold it for 22… Ah, my brain… My head…' Zhang Qin Feng regretted it.
[That's normal. This happened because the user is yet to experience how the concept of currency works in this world. It will take some time to slowly ingrained into your mind, and that's why the system thinks it's necessary to not interrupt you when you're bargaining]
'But you could still give me some advice on how to proceed. The girl might have left right now after injecting the serum into her body.' Zhang Qin Feng was somewhat sour as he made a loss of 28 shards from his first trade. To someone as money-conscious as he is, such an amount felt like he lost 2,800 dollars to nowhere.
[The system thinks differently. Although the loss of 28 shards might seem much to the user right now, it was not an amount the user will have difficulty earning them. Instead, the system notices a fluctuation in the user's hormone, which leads to the suggestion that the user is interested in that girl]
[The system believes that there's a 77% chance the user can have sex with her. Would you like to proceed?]
Stein's reply was like a report that came straight from his mind. Does he seem that obvious when he was ogling over her breast as he pointed his gun at the girl? If it was so evident that the system could sense the changes in his hormone level, won't the girl feel that as well?
'Is that why she ask me to quit that idea when I was staring at her body? Ah… I shouldn't stick that vial of serum in between her cleavage then. Now I ended up as a pervert instead of a gentleman!' Zhang Qin Feng was in his hysterical moment as he thought about all his reckless action.
'To think that I destroyed my reputation with a stupid perverted act of mine. I'm such a fool…' Zhang Qin Feng pulled his hair.
'Huh… That's fine. I still have Yufei back at home. Let's continue to check what this building has to offer before we move to another block. If she really left, then it's fine too.' calming himself down, Zhang Qin Feng breaks the lock into another unit and goes inside to check what the house has.
A few seconds later, Satella's head pops out from the corner. She's still wondering if she had to approach her savior and offer her body in return.
'Is he waiting for me to take action?' Satella asked herself. Embarrassedly, she took a peek down to her own chest and gave it a soft rub. Remembered that Zhang Qin Feng was looking at these two bouncy fats of hers at all times, it gave her an idea of what she had to do.
The scavenging search continued until Zhang Qin Feng was finally feeling exhausted after clearing the seventh floor. By now, he had cleared 105 units. Furthermore, the results on the upper floors are much better as he added 100grams of scrap gold and a kilogram worth of scrap silver into his rucksack.
He also finally found the second piece of the Processing System neglected at a corner of the house.
[The system found something hiding behind the dressing table. Would the user please remove the furniture to check if it's a weapon safe?]
Stein's sudden discovery made Zhang Qin Feng feeling excited as he pulls the dressing table aside to reveal a manual keypad safe hidden in the wall.
'It was password locked. How do we get it open?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. He was excited, but unfortunately, he has no heavy tools with him, so breaking up the lock by force is not an option. Furthermore, in this world, is there anything easy for him or his technology to break?
[Please allow the system to search for clues while the user enjoys your private time]
Stein went quiet as it started to retrace all the information it recorded from when they came into this unit.
As for Zhang Qin Feng, he leaned on the top of the bed after making sure it was safe for him to do so. His eyes were closed as he decided to take a power nap from running around for so many hours. Of course, he has nothing to complain about as it was a good result so far.
But then, he was awakened by soft footsteps that coming into the room quietly. Zhang Qin Feng immediately pointed his gun at the incoming target before he was overpowered by it.
Then, it ended up as a shock to him as the muzzle of his pistol seems to strike something soft and bouncy. The firmness of that lump of fat made even his gun trembled as he was greeted by Satella's glorified birthday suit.
"Why - Why are you here naked?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. As a man with daily training with his only younger sibling, his brother stands too as he was surprised by the incoming threat.
"I - I thought we had a deal about this?" Satella was trembling as the two lump of fats of hers was vibrating due to the pull of gravity.
"Aargh… To hell with it. Come here!" Zhang Qin Feng placed the Phalanx X-02 on the bedside table. Using both of his hands forcefully, he pulled Satella down on the bed and get ready to punish her for disturbing his power nap.
