Chapter 529: A coincidence
Translator: 549690339
“Yeah.”
Li xiaonian responded and said, ” “You two can live in the living room and I’ll live in the bedroom. When I have money, I’ll move to a bigger house.”
Once they entered the factory, their bodies would disappear. For the sake of their privacy, they could only let their younger siblings live in the living room.
“En, en.” Lu Qianhui nodded.
“I should.” Li zhedong responded.
Lu Qianhui took out the light green clothes that li xiaonian had just bought and said excitedly, ” “Big brother, did you buy these clothes for me?”
besides you, do you think your second brother and I would wear female clothes? ”
“It’s really mine?”
Lu Qianhui was so excited that she spun around in circles.
His sister had clothes. Li zhedong looked straight at the other two sets of men’s clothes. He was a little uncertain whether he would have a share or not. From the time he was born until now, the clothes he had worn were basically all discarded clothes dug out from the garbage dump and stitched together. So far, he had never worn such a complete piece of clothing with so few patches.
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t tempted.
stop looking, you’ll get a share too. You and I have similar figures, so you can take whatever you like. I don’t care about these things.
These clothes were of slightly better quality. No one could guarantee that they were not clothes worn by the dead, but this was how the abandoned planet looked like, and everyone was used to it.
Li zhedong’s face lit up when he heard that he had his own way of doing things, but he still politely said, ” “I don’t care if the clothes are good or bad, as long as they can be worn.”
Li xiaonian really wanted to beat up his brother, who was a prideful person. However, he knew that his personality wouldn’t change overnight. He immediately said, ” “In that case, you don’t need them. Just leave them for my brother.” As he spoke, li xiaonian took out 200 merit points and handed them to his sister, Lu Qianhui. “You can use this money first. I still have things to deal with, so I might not be back for dinner.”
Li xiaonian then walked out of the house.
He had to find sulfur, saltpeter, and bronze as soon as possible to produce bullets. Without bullets, it was almost impossible for his blood Tiger Pistol to be sold at a high price.
Li xiaonian’s actions caused li zhedong to freeze on the spot. He looked at the two sets of clothes li xiaonian had bought with a pained expression.
I ... Why did I have such a cheap mouth? why did I say no? big brother, I was just being polite and you took it seriously.
The simple-minded Lu Qianhui did not understand li zhedong’s thoughts at all. She added, ” “Second brother, I think these clothes look pretty good. Why don’t you want them? big brother bought them for us. In Freedom City, everyone’s dressing is clean and proper. Wouldn’t you look out of the ordinary if you were to go out dressed like this?”
“......”
The corner of li zhedong’s mouth twitched slightly, and he said stubbornly, ” “It’s just clothes. Big brother has brought us too many things. I want to earn money to buy clothes. I don’t want big brother to handle everything.”
“Second brother, you’re amazing.” Lu Qianhui gave him a thumbs up. second brother, you can do it. I have high hopes for you. You will definitely be as powerful as big brother.
“......”
Li zhedong felt bitter in his heart.
As powerful as big brother? Was that possible? he couldn’t understand his brother at all. All along, no matter what happened, his brother could deal with it easily. On the contrary, he had no ability and could only do the lowest level of hard work. Moreover, he could support himself.
......
For a few days, li xiaonian left early and returned late.
Saltpeter and bronze had already been successfully purchased, but there was no sulfur in the market. This was because sulfur was a prohibited item in Freedom City and was not circulated in the market.
Not only could sulfur be used to make gunpowder, but it could also be used for medical purposes. At the same time, sulfur had a strong pungent smell and could be used to drive away mutated beasts, maintaining the safety of Freedom City and preventing them from being attacked by mutated beasts.
On this day, li xiaonian was lying in the courtyard with his eyes closed, deep in thought about how to buy sulfur.
“Da da da ...”
“Li xiaonian, you there?”
Yao an’s loud voice came from outside the door.
“The door isn’t locked. You must have come in.”
When Yao an entered the courtyard and saw the relaxed li xiaonian, she suddenly felt angry and emotional. “Kid, are you planning to just lie at home every day? don’t you think about making money or finding a job?”
Seeing that it was Yao an, li xiaonian recalled the incident where he had almost been scammed-Level 2 black Panther meat. This b * stard actually wanted to buy it all for 300 merit points.
Thinking of this, li xiaonian also said in a bad mood,”I think this kind of life is quite good. There’s no need to worry about food and water every day, and there’s no danger. This is the life that people should live, unlike in the past, when my family would go hungry as long as I didn’t work for a day. Tsk tsk ... Compared to the past, I’m too satisfied with my current life.”
Yao an’s mouth was half-open, but she couldn’t find any words to refute.
Wasn’t the life that people pursued carefree? they could do whatever they wanted and didn’t need to care about the opinions of others. Li xiaonian’s current life seemed to be the highest realm of life that humans pursued.
However, after some thought, Yao an asked curiously, ” you’re a newbie. Without a job, are you sure you can support your younger brother and sister? ”
“You don’t have to worry about this.” After a short pause, li xiaonian said in a weird tone,”I’m quite lucky to have met a boss who knows his stuff. I sold my Rank 2 black Panther for a few thousand merit points, enough for me to live a carefree life for a year or two.”
Upon hearing this, Yao an’s face was instantly filled with embarrassment. haha ... Is that so? that Black Panther is actually a level two evolved creature. I didn’t expect that I would be wrong about it.
When he said this, even he himself did not believe that he had made a wrong judgment. For the three of them to chase after him for two days and two nights, would it be possible if he was only a level one evolutionary? he said this to ease the awkwardness.
‘This damn kid, didn’t he say that he would keep it for himself? he actually took it out to sell. Bah, what a cunning fellow.’
Li xiaonian rolled his eyes at Yao an and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Yao an was thick-skinned, so he found a stool and sat down beside li xiaonian with his legs crossed. He then took out some melon seeds and started munching on them.
Li xiaonian was speechless. if you have something to say, just say it. If not, don’t disturb my rest.
Yao an chuckled. I do have something to do. Have you considered my suggestion? do you want to join our team? I’m here for this matter.
Li xiaonian pointed at the laser gun in the room.”The laser gun’s energy is only 9%, and it can only shoot 4 times. I’m just a cripple, so there’s no point in looking for me. Besides, the outside world is too dangerous. I’d rather enjoy the good times now.”
“Insufficient energy? That’s not a problem. Although high-end energy is a rare commodity in Freedom City, as long as you agree to join our team, we have the means to help you fill up the energy of the laser gun.”
“Oh?”
Li xiaonian’s eyes lit up. it’s not impossible for me to join your team. If you help me get a ton of sulfur, I’ll agree to it immediately.
a ton of sulfur? ”
Yao an’s mouth was half-open as he shook his head. sulfur is a military-controlled material. It’s not a big problem to get you one or two catties of it. But it’s impossible to get you a ton. “Why are you using this sulfur?” Yao an asked curiously.
Li xiaonian organized his words and made up a story. of course, I’m going to continue being an arms dealer. I plan to transport sulfur to the law-enforcement area in exchange for a large number of weapons and equipment.
Yao an’s interest was piqued. sulfur in exchange for weapons and equipment. If that’s the case, it’s not impossible for you to apply to the higher-ups. However, the premise is that what kind of equipment and materials can you get? ” A machine tool? Laser gun? Or a high-grade energy reserve device?”
neither. I plan to use sulfur to exchange for a batch of gunpowder pistols. The power of this pistol model ...
Before li xiaonian could finish his sentence, Yao an immediately interrupted him, ” impossible. No matter how powerful your gunpowder pistol is, the mayor will never allow us to use rare sulfur to exchange for a pistol that is not of much use.
“If that’s the case, then forget it.” Li xiaonian was a little disappointed.
Of course, he knew that Freedom City wouldn’t allow him to sell sulfur in large quantities, or even send it to the ‘enemy’. If he could, he would just find it and do it. Why would he need to ask Yao an for help?
Yao an was equally disappointed,”you really don’t want to reconsider?” You’ve seen the strength of me, li hu, and Fei Mengjia. We’re not any weaker than you, so joining our team will be of no harm to you.”
not at the moment. I plan to continue being an arms dealer. Li xiaonian then said proudly,”The money earned from fighting and killing is only for the hard work, and we have to risk our lives. You’re not like me, who deals in firearms. Once the deal is successful, the money I earn is enough to live a carefree life for a few years.”
The corner of Yao an’s mouth twitched. fine, then you can be at ease and continue being an arms dealer. However, I have to warn you. Don’t ever touch the red line of Freedom City. Otherwise, you will die a horrible death.
Li xiaonian shrugged. do I look like the kind of person who values money more than his life? I know what I’m doing.
For the sake of safety, li xiaonian didn’t idle around these few days. Whenever he was free, he would study the laws of freedom City. To put it bluntly, anything that damaged Freedom City was a restriction.
Anything that was beneficial to Freedom City could be done boldly, and as long as there were results, they could even be rewarded. Just like now, whoever could return to the law-enforcement area and rope in talents and Masters to Freedom City would be rewarded handsomely.
For example, Yao an and the others who had introduced him to this place did not receive much rewards, only 1000 merit points. If his evaluation of a genius reached the blue Level, they would receive 10000 merit points. If it was purple, they would receive 100000 merit points. As for gold ... At least, no one had been able to receive it so far.
In addition, whoever could get their hands on mechas, gravity equipment, and high-level precision instruments would receive rewards that were all laid out on the table. There would be no embezzlement.
Yao an was sure that li xiaonian was determined to lie flat on the bed, so she didn’t continue to persuade him. “Since you’re not willing, then forget it. When you’ve thought it through, you’re welcome to come find me anytime.”
After he finished speaking, Yao an waved his hand and left.
As he watched Yao an leave, li xiaonian looked calm, but he was secretly anxious.
The time limit for the mission was only 10 days. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. If he couldn’t think of a way, he would definitely fail this mission.
“Brother, I’m back.”
Lu Qianhui was holding a bunch of potatoes that were tied up with a rope. “Look ... These are the potatoes I bought with the money I earned from working today. Brother, let’s continue to make vinegar potatoes tonight, okay?”
Lu Qianhui was very happy to be able to earn her own money, fill her stomach, and even have extra money to buy food. She had never dared to imagine herself earning money to support the family.
I’m not free tonight. You and second brother can eat by yourself. I’m going out.
“Oh.”
Lu Qianhui’s face was filled with disappointment.
Li xiaonian ruffled his sister’s hair. when I’m done with my work, I’ll cook even better food for you guys next time. I’m sure you’ll want more after you’ve eaten.
Li xiaonian rubbed his sister’s head and left in a hurry.
On the way, li xiaonian asked a few people and finally arrived at young master Fang’s mansion.
The Fang family’s residence was also very simple and crude, but it took up a large area. Furthermore, the materials used to build the house were much better than those of ordinary families.
At this moment, the Fang family’s residence was bustling with people, each of them carrying gifts in and out.
It seemed like the Fang family was holding a banquet or something.
Seeing this, li xiaonian was a little hesitant. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly called out to him, ” “Brother li.”
Li xiaonian turned around. The person who had called out to him was the person he had been looking for, Fang lang, young master Fang.
At that moment, there were three men beside Fang lang who were wearing New Silk clothes that cost hundreds of merit points. When they saw Fang lang greeting li xiaonian, who was dressed like a country bumpkin, they were slightly taken aback. Then, their faces were filled with disdain, but they didn’t say anything to give Fang lang face.
“Young master Fang.” Li xiaonian greeted him in embarrassment.
“Brother li.” Fang lang hugged li xiaonian’s shoulder and introduced him to his friend, ” this is a brother I just got to know. His name is li xiaonian. These three are my friends as well. They are Lu Yulan, mo Tafu, and tie Ji.
“Greetings to the three of you.” Li xiaonian greeted him in a formal manner.
“Yeah.”
The three of them replied coldly.
Li xiaonian didn’t want to stay any longer. He said, young master Fang, I have something to discuss with you. Since you’re busy today, why don’t we meet another day? ”
go, go, go. I was just about to invite you. You’re here just in time. Today is my sister’s 26th birthday and they’re holding a birthday party. They’ve invited a lot of big shots. I can introduce them to you.
Rather than calling it his sister’s birthday, it was more like a group of big shots were using his sister’s birthday to gather together and discuss some important matters. Fang lang understood this.
no, no, I still have important things to deal with at home. I’ll pass this time. I’ll visit you next time.
Li xiaonian rejected him without hesitation. He couldn’t take the other party’s polite words seriously.
He could feel that even though Fang lang thought highly of him, he was merely trying to rope him in and not treat him as an equal.
He had come here this time to see if he could get some sulfur through Fang lang and his family. However, the current situation was not suitable for such negotiations.
I see ... Okay then. Let’s meet at the perfume building tomorrow. How about that? ”
“Alright,” he said.
Li xiaonian nodded.
