Tang Susu stopped in her tracks. She thought to herself that he could still be saved. She also hoped that he wouldn’t be too much trouble for Mr. Wei.

However, in order to make it up to him, she was going to give Mr. Wei a bottle of Special-Grade Nutrient Serum to replenish his body.

Host, I want to see where Cheng Yuan and the others were imprisoned. I wonder why I couldn’t locate them at the time?’

Tang Susu had just arrived at their “new home” that Lin Yi had arranged for them. She was slightly surprised as she took one step through the door. “Isn’t it because of Shen Zhiting?”

‘No. If I were to face him, I would only end up disappearing. But there’s good news. Do you want to hear it?’

Tang Susu’s eyes lit up with interest as she walked in to look for Xiaoyuan. “I’m all ears?”

“Shen Zhiting is five kilometers away from you.”

’Congratulations on being successfully courted! After a period, this distance will be completely eliminated. I don’t have to disappear anymore!’

Tang Susu wasn’t happy at all. She felt that she was courted too easily. That wouldn’t do.

‘You can’t control how your heart feels. Just surrender, okay?’

“There’s no such thing as a surrender.” Tang Susu didn’t want to be the easiest person to be courted in the system’s history. This was a question of honor.

“It’s already very difficult to court you. Had it been any other host, the rift between them would have already been mended, and they would have developed a deep sense of trust. Take today’s incident, for example. Shen Zhiting was seriously injured. Even a bottle of High Grade Healing Serum might not be able to help him.”

“Sis Susu?” When Cheng Yuan saw Tang Susu suddenly stop in her tracks, she didn’t know what she was thinking. So, she couldn’t help but mutter to her softly.

Tang Susu quickly came back to her senses and stroked Cheng Yuan’s soft hair. “Where were you locked up? Can you take me to see it?”

“Sure!” When Cheng Yuan saw that Tang Susu was talking to her again, she was overjoyed. She couldn’t help but hold her hand. She even awkwardly gave her candy when they were on their way there.

“I had a lot of them, but I dropped them when I was taken away.” The girl looked regretful.

Tang Susu could sense her gentleness. She took the candy and split it into two halves. She gave one half to her. “Xiaoyuan, do you want to become a Metahuman?”

Cheng Yuan was stunned and quickly nodded. “I don’t want to be anyone’s burden anymore. If I have superpowers, I can defeat them all!”

She bared her teeth fiercely with a fierce gaze.

Tang Susu smiled. She also felt that she was too easy a target. It would be hard to guarantee that she would be safe next time. They got her into danger all this time.

“Alright. Next time, you’ll awaken your superpower with us.”

She thought of the Energy-Guiding Talisman Array, which proved to be quite beneficial, but she had a problem.

She was poor again!

The two of them walked along the largest street toward the new home that was by the same path.

The atmosphere in the shelter shifted very quickly.

Almost everyone knew that the Tang family was under Wei Chunhua’s protection. Those who saw Tang Susu along the way all avoided her, afraid that they would offend her and be kicked out of the shelter.

Tang Susu raised her eyebrows slightly. Suddenly, a blinding light flashed across the corner of her eyes, catching her gaze.

She turned around and saw a small, makeshift market not too far away.

Many people had set up simple stalls on both sides of the road. It was quite a long stretch, and one couldn’t see the end at a glance.

There were all kinds of items on sale. It was a dazzling sight, and it attracted the attention of the two girls who had not shopped for a long time.

Tang Susu was eager to move, and Cheng Yuan was also quite excited. “I wonder what they’re selling…”

“Let’s take a look.” Tang Susu thought that the system wasn’t that important anyway, and immediately threw it to the back of her mind.

008,

This was a street that was specially set aside for business. It was connected to the main road and a remote alley was at the end of it.

There were about 20 to 30 people selling things. They place the items they’re offering to sell directly on the ground. Some items weren’t very particular, such as things in bottles and jars, as well as some daily necessities.

Those who were more peculiar were selling calligraphy and paintings, weapons, and jade articles. Some people laid a layer of cloth on the ground, while others directly made a wooden board and stacked the goods neatly.

Tang Susu’s expression grew brighter as she strolled around. The things they sold were not exactly what they needed. They were useless in the post-apocalyptic world, so few people would buy them.

But to her, they were all valuable items!

Especially the gold stall owner in the corner. He was casually piling enough gold jewelry into a small hill.

The sun shone brightly, reflecting golden light off them.

She was given something when she needed them?

She looked at the gold stall owner standing there with a sad face with nothing else to do. There were people who would haggle with the other stall owners, but no one approached him at all.

Tang Susu then dragged Xiaoyuan over and asked, “How much for the gold?”

The stall owner’s surname was Chen. He had originally planned to pack up and go home to wash up and sleep. He would never sell gold again.

Suddenly, he heard a pleasant voice. It was the girl who had caused a tremendous commotion this morning…

His entire body quivered. He knew that this was definitely a person who didn’t have to worry about food and drink!

“Take a look, miss! Which jewelry do you like? I have everything here. They are all from the latest style. Made of pure gold! There are also those that were made specifically for the bride price… All of them are very cheap. They only cost you a loaf of bread… No, half a loaf each! Or even two!”

Seeing that Tang Susu was only looking at him, saying nothing, he gritted his teeth. “Give me three loaves of bread and these are all yours.. How about it?”
