'What the… I'm the one getting the item for the system, and I still have to pay for them to be provided to me?' Zhang Qin Feng complained. To think that the system was so black-hearted to do such a thing to him.
[The reason behind this decision is because concept and fact are two different matters. To make a product feasible between two dimensions would require data processing of at least comparable, if not more than what went through so far from mining the WIFE-Coin]
[Hence, the system is collecting payment from actualizing the concept is a fair exchange]
Listening to the reply from Stein made Zhang Qin Feng speechless as he went back to the second floor, where the other commercial stores are located. With nothing else for him to purchase, he left the building and continue to walk for about ten minutes until he reaches the Qingzhou Mall.
He waited there until Stein comes up with a currency to purchase.

Back in the Post-Apocalypse, Satella's days were much harder without Zhang Qin Feng supporting her. For the past few days, she's been trying to get her hand on what Zhang Qin Feng has requested.
And so far, she only managed to collect a few items he asked. There was a chance for her to return with two slaves she found previously, but they were snatched on her way back. The two slaves were forcefully take away by a larger group when they're confronted by eight survivors.
It was unfortunate, but half of the reason they didn't even bother to struggle was due to the slave's personal opinion. Although they were called slaves, they're still allowed to deciding on their own and voicing out their opinion.
Since it was their own choice to follow the other gang to increase the chances of survival, it's evident that Satella's offer is too insignificant to them. Even a fool would know what to choose between Satella, who come out alone, and the gang of eight survivors.
She had gone through two areas and returned without a positive result.
Still, luck was considered on her side as she returned to the penthouse with a bunch of material Zhang Qin Feng thirst for. It was filled with roughly three broken Processing Units and a bunch of precious scrap metal and jewelry.
'I wonder why he wanted all these things. But well, it won't hurt to collect them while I'm searching for a few slaves.' Satella said. Since she had made sure that this building was barricaded from allowing any zombies to come in, it wouldn't be a problem for her to walk around only in her undergarment.
But it was still a problem if the place she's in was caught with flashing lights. Luckily, because the penthouse was well preserved after so long, all the basic amenity still works to her favor.
The curtain was rolled down to protect the light from getting out of the glass windows. And after a few comfortable hours, the energy pack attached to the unit's power supply system is finally exhausted.
'Look's like I'll have to go back to the survivor camp and purchase a battery or two…' she whispered to herself. Putting on all her gears and resting herself at the corner of the leather sofa, Satella remained cautious as she took a power nap until morning.
'Luna, scan for activities.' Satella ordered.
Her reaction changed by the time the report came back on the device's display panel.
"Two people are hiding inside the general store? Now… Who are they?" Satella quickly descends from the penthouse until she arrived at the second level of the building. Using one of the unit's windows as her targeting point, Satella monitored the situation outside of the store with two frantic zombies.

The profit for today's currency exchange added another five thousand dollars into Zhang Qin Feng's account as he came back from visiting his unconscious uncle. His uncle's condition is considered stable right now based on what the doctor told him.
"If there are no sudden changes in his vital report, I'm sure he'll be back after resting for a few more days. Please leave everything to us. The hospital staff and doctors will do all we could for Mr. Chen's recovery." the doctor said.
"Thank you, doctor Liu. If there's anything else, please do not hesitate to call me at any time." Zhang Qin Feng shook the doctor's hand and gave him a slight bow as the doctor was preparing to leave the room.
After the visiting hour is ended, Zhang Qin Feng made his way back to the Manyue Restaurant. It was hard to believe that yesterday, this place was attacked by a group of armed terrorists.
"People were indeed forgetful…" Zhang Qin Feng chuckled as he continued on his way to Wang Yufei's restaurant. By the time he was there, they're already in the middle of closing the restaurant. And after waiting for her about thirty or so minutes, the two finally able to call it a day.
"How's your work went?" Wang Yufei asked.
"Earned around five thousand dollars from running between two currency exchange centers. Nobody is selling or trading the WIFE-Coin, so I'll have to persevere." Zhang Qin Feng smiled as he replied to her question.
Holding her hand as they returned to the upper floor parking, Zhang Qin Feng once again noticed a few random faces that loitered around the parking lot.
Since Stein didn't mention any alarming notices as they went inside the car, he did not stop Wang Yufei from starting their car and drove off. But halfway home, the system finally speaks.
[Alert… The system found something likely to be a tracking device under the car hood. Would you like to disable it before reaching the Wang Family Estate?]
'What? Tracking device?' what Stein said shocked Zhang Qin Feng.
Furthermore, Wang Yufei seems to remember something as she suddenly speaks.
"Feng, today there's someone from the NewsChannel here in our restaurant. He's been asking about you and what's your opinion associated with your uncle's hospitalization." Wang Yufei said.
