Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 229 - : Base Trading

Chapter 229 -229: Base Trading

However, this news still made Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng delighted because it meant they could quickly expand their Space.

Lu Ruisheng asked the second-hand dealer, “Besides food, what can you use to trade for gold?”

The second-hand dealer whispered, “Medicines, weapons, family planning supplies, for now just these.”

Gu Pan asked, “How do you trade for family planning supplies?” She really had too many of those.

Looking around to ensure it was safe, the second-hand dealer replied, “One per kilo of food.”

Thinking of her large packs of TTs, Gu Pan was speechless, but she knew she couldn’t bring out too much at once, and needed to first understand the trade with the other party.

She said, “Then, let’s start with twenty family planning items and twenty kilos of food, trade outside the base.”

The second-hand dealer had no objections, knowing it was their first time trying, so he said, “Okay, when can you go out?”

Gu Pan replied without thinking, “Anytime, you set the time.” She wasn’t worried about the second-hand dealer; having been around for a long time, he wouldn’t jeopardize his business over this small deal.

The second-hand dealer, aware that these two had many valuable items, wouldn’t kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. He envisioned a steady trade, one that would definitely put him in good standing with his boss.

He happily told them, “Then let’s meet at the entrance tomorrow morning at five.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng had no objections since they both understood this cooperation was just beginning and neither wished to cross the other for such small gains.

Leaving early was also good; fewer people around meant greater safety.

After setting the time, both returned home. Long-term cooperation with this man would make acquiring gold quite easy.

The next morning, they rode their motorbikes out. The gatekeeper, merely greeting them, let them out without question, knowing these two were no ordinary people, and that was enough.

After heading out, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng directly went to the meeting point.

The second-hand dealer had already arrived. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t know how he got out, but, honestly, everyone had their secrets, so it wasn’t their place to ask.

In such an environment, where the base had its shady entertainment spots, the presence of such black market deals was naturally not impossible. No place can be entirely devoid of underhanded dealings; where the water is too clear, there are no fish.

The second-hand dealer took them further forward, reaching a hillside with a motorcycle at the bottom.

Standing next to the motorcycle was a man in a biker cap, nodding at them without a word.

The trade was still completed with the second-hand dealer: twenty family planning items, twenty kilos of food, and forty kilos of gold, totaling sixty kilos.

Looking at the decreasing value of gold, Gu Pan truly felt sentimental. If it were before the apocalypse, the gold she had accumulated in her Space would probably have made her one of the wealthiest people in the province.

After the trade, the man on the motorcycle left.

The second-hand dealer was very polite, “I know you have many good things, so if you ever want to trade, just come find me. Here’s my address at the base,” saying this, he even handed them a name card.

Lu Ruisheng took the card, “Great, hope our cooperation will be pleasant. We have other things to attend to now, so we’ll take our leave.”

Because he and Gu Pan still had a trip to the mountains planned, using this as an excuse to gather some soil and bring back a wild boar, some rabbits, and pheasants, preferably alive for breeding.

They rode their motorbikes to the spot they had hunted wild boar last time and began their trek into the mountain.

Having expanded their Space by an additional 1200 square meters to 24,200 square meters, it was spacious but still not enough for them. If they needed to take in larger or more materials in the future? The bigger, the better; after all, big is always good.

Reaching the mountain, they began searching for signs of life from rabbits and pheasants, making it more difficult since they didn’t want to kill them outright.

Gu Pan’s Space had cages for capturing animals, prepared by Zhuang Jie. Honestly, Zhuang Jie’s contribution was significant. It was a good thing they hadn’t killed him outright; otherwise, how would they have been so well-prepared? The only mistake was not asking Zhuang Jie for details about three years after the apocalypse before he died. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.

They found pheasant droppings and rabbit tracks.

Using traps and cages based on the information they had downloaded from the internet, they set everything up and continued forward.

There was indeed a cave nearby, filled with moss that didn’t require sunlight, entirely unaffected by acid rain. They collected some soil and moss to bring back, planning to grow them as decorative plants.

The base had also transported this kind of soil from the outside, aiming to expand planting. Since the base had power generators, the perpetual night wouldn’t waste the vegetable seeds, which Gu Pan wasn’t too worried about.

However, they had to be cautious with their personal planting, as they couldn’t keep a generator running at all times.

After setting all the traps, they hardly saw any live pheasants or rabbits today, as the animals were becoming scarce. Catching some alive for breeding was ideal.

Then, they brought out some pre-prepared chicken and rabbit meat from the Space, claiming they had cleaned it by the river to take home for themselves, which no one could object to. Bringing back a wild boar was enough to keep up appearances.

They decided to check the traps the next day, so after finishing up for the day, they headed back.

Returning on their motorbike, they added a trailer carrying the wild boar, two bags of soil, and some prepared meat.

Returning so soon with so much bounty, the guard at the gate, after being shocked multiple times before, was shocked once again.

Smiling, Gu Pan handed each guard a piece of cookie, “Lucky day today, everyone gets to share the joy.”

The guards truly loved this couple; strong and always bringing back good things from their trips, they accepted the cookies gratefully with thanks.

That day, Xiao Lin wasn’t on duty, and the other team leader also never missed an opportunity to speak well of them.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng happily entered the base, building good relationships with the guards at the gate due to their frequent comings and goings.

Back at the base, they directly exchanged their gains for contribution points, then headed to Lu Jianguo’s place with the soil and chicken and rabbit meat.

Lu Jianguo, in his office, stood up happily upon seeing them, “Sit, I got Panpan some juice, was just thinking of bringing it to you tonight.”

These things might not be valuable to Gu Pan, but she was genuinely touched by her father-in-law’s gesture, “Thank you, Dad. We went out today and got two rabbits and one chicken, thought of giving some to Uncle Li and Chief Qin, and we’ll stew the rest tonight. Come over for dinner.”
