203: Her teammates understand her!

Mo Yanan's bodyguards were moving boxes from the truck to the hotel rooms.

They were all cases of fruit, bottled drinks, and snacks.

"Comrade Jiang Fei, these supplies are my welcome gifts for everyone. Three boxes per room. Let me know when you've finished them."

Mo Yanan handed a pure black card to Jiang Fei:

"In Kyoto Base, purchases are made using Contribution Points, which are equivalent to your Safety Shelter's points."

"This Contribution Card is for you. It has a lot of Contribution Points and can be used at all shops and restaurants. Spend as much as you like."

"Thank you." Jiang Fei unceremoniously accepted the Contribution Card.

Tomorrow, she would take her teammates shopping!

After setting a time with Director Ning for him to be picked up tomorrow, Mo Yanan got into Uncle Liu's business car.

His first words were, "To the Hospital."

Goddess Sister had many tricks up her sleeve, and he wouldn't be at ease without a thorough check-up.

Uncle Liu drove away from Mos Hotel before asking the doubt in his heart: "Young Master, why are you so good to Miss Jiang?"

"You treated her to a meal, gave her supplies, and even gave her your personal Contribution Card. Forgive my poor judgment, but I really don't see anything extraordinary about Miss Jiang."

"You don't understand, her ability is worthy of such treatment."

Mo Yanan did not intend to tell outsiders about Jiang Fei's ability to collect items.

He had promised her to keep it a secret.

Promises must be kept, and cooperation based on trust leads to long-lasting relationships.

Meanwhile, at the hotel entrance...

Jiang Fei and others were helping the bodyguards move boxes.

The Comrades chatted while they worked.

"Young Master Mo is so good to Comrade Jiang. We just arrived in Kyoto, and he's already arranged accommodation and meals. Is he perhaps pursuing Comrade Jiang?"

"Nonsense. Young Master Mo is Comrade Jiang's boss behind the scenes."

"The Mo family is powerful, so employee benefits would naturally be better than for ordinary people."

"But Young Master Mo calls Comrade Jiang 'Sister.' That doesn't sound like a term for a subordinate."

"Perhaps they have a good relationship and get along well, so they're like adopted siblings."

Xiao Chuxia was not far away and could hear the Comrades' conversation. She asked Jiang Fei gossiping:

"Miss, why does Young Master Mo call you 'Sister'?"

"You have a pass for Kyoto Base. Did you arrange with him a long time ago that you would come here later?"

Jiang Fei simply explained: "Mo Yanan and I are partners."

"I promised to help him with something, so he gave me a pass when he was at the Safety Shelter."

"As for the address, he insisted on calling me that, saying he's a year younger than me."

Xiao Chuxia lost her curiosity and changed the topic.

Lu Yu, who was organizing boxes nearby, suddenly felt the inexplicable annoyance that had been weighing on his heart all night disappear at this moment.

It turned out that the neighbor and Mo Yanan simply had an ordinary cooperative relationship.

Unlike him, he was the one who shared exclusive little secrets with the neighbor.

—

The next day, Mo Yanan sent someone to pick up Director Ning to meet the Base Leader.

Xu Qianyao accompanied them, while the other Comrades remained in their rooms to rest.

Jiang Fei put on her backpack, convenient for carrying things, and took Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia out for shopping.

The Base was bustling during the day.

All the shops were open, with shop assistants calling out at the entrances.

The people coming and going were simply dressed but clean and tidy, and their spirits were good, indicating they had no worries about food or drink.

Noticing the bulletin board on the wall, Jiang Fei and the other two understood.

Not all areas of the Base had 24-hour electricity and water supply.

In commercial streets, residential areas, and other places, water and electricity could be used daily after dark.

The Base would stop supplying water and electricity at dawn.

At this moment, Xiao Chuxia pulled Jiang Fei: "Miss, the sign outside that shop says they recycle jewelry and exchange it for any supplies. Maybe we can exchange it for gold. Should we go take a look?"

"Let's go." Jiang Fei immediately went over.

The shop was small, simply decorated, with only tables, chairs, and a sofa.

If it weren't for the sign outside, one wouldn't know what kind of shop it was.

Seeing someone enter, the shop owner, who was sitting on the sofa, got up to attend to them: "Are you looking to buy jewelry or to recycle?"

Jiang Fei: "Recycle. Can jewelry be exchanged for gold?"

"Yes, first let me see the goods."

Jiang Fei opened her backpack, pretending to search, but actually took out five gem necklaces from the Supermarket warehouse.

The shop owner inspected them. The quality and purity of the gems were top-notch, and his attitude instantly became enthusiastic.

"Quick, sit down, sit down."

"Little girl, one of these necklaces used to sell for around three million."

"Based on the pre-apocalypse gold price, and deducting my shop's handling fee, you can exchange it for ten jin of gold bars."

"If you intend to exchange, I will contact customers and ask if anyone is willing to buy."

He opened a jewelry shop mainly to sell to wealthy madams and young ladies of the upper class.

Those people lived comfortably, cared about their appearance, loved to dress up, and would use supplies or Contribution Points to buy jewelry.

But times were different now; there were no jewelry suppliers. If they wanted jewelry, they could only collect it from various sources.

Whenever he received new stock, he would first send someone to contact customers.

He would only accept it if someone wanted it, to avoid being stuck with jewelry that no one would buy.

Jiang Fei calculated the price.

Five necklaces could sell for 25,000 grams of gold.

Compared to gathering dust in the Supermarket warehouse, it was indeed a good deal.

"I have some more jewelry; please help me sell it all." Jiang Fei then took out 2 diamond bracelets, 5 gem rings, and 3 pairs of pearl earrings from her backpack.

Confirming they were all genuine, the shop owner calculated the price for Jiang Fei.

Including the 5 necklaces, the total could sell for 1,300,000 grams of gold.

"Please wait for me in the shop for a moment. I'll go find someone to contact customers."

Just as the shop owner was about to leave, a luxury car stopped at the entrance.

A girl in her early twenties stepped out, wearing a beautiful light blue long dress, with a standard oval face and sparkling almond eyes.

She was followed by two bodyguards.

"Boss, do you have any new stock recently?"

"Miss You, you've come at just the right time. I just received a batch." The shop owner quickly brought over Jiang Fei's jewelry.

Each piece was exquisitely crafted, and the girl couldn't put them down:

"Nice, I'll take them all. How many Contribution Points?"

Shop owner: "15,000 Contribution Points, plus 1,300 kilograms of gold."

The girl was also straightforward. She swiped her card for the Contribution Points and then sent one of the bodyguards to retrieve the gold.

Jiang Fei, meanwhile, returned to the hotel, borrowed a truck from a Comrade, and drove it over.

Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be able to move that much gold.

About half an hour later, the bodyguard returned driving a small truck.

"Miss, the gold bars are packed in 130 briefcases. Should we move them into the shop or...?"

"Help them load it onto the car." The girl looked at Jiang Fei and the other two, her smile gentle:

"Don't be nervous. I won't charge you. I'm helping you for free."

Her mother had told her to do more good deeds and help those in need.

"Thank you." Jiang Fei helped the bodyguards move the briefcases.

After loading the car, the girl left with her bodyguards.

Knowing that Jiang Fei was exchanging gold to upgrade the Supermarket, Lu Yu voluntarily helped her cover up.

"Chu Xia and I will wait for you here. You go find Mo Yanan's people to help you send the gold back to the Safety Shelter."

Jiang Fei nodded.

Her teammates understood her!

After driving the truck back to the hotel's back parking lot, Jiang Fei, taking advantage of no one being around, put the gold into the Supermarket.

System: [Ding—Detected gold: 1,300,000 grams]

[Current unlock progress: 20%]

Taking out too much jewelry at once would be hard to explain to Xiao Hua Lao. Tomorrow, she would secretly go to that shop again and make a big sale.

After returning the truck keys to the Comrade at the hotel, Jiang Fei returned to the commercial street to meet up with the other two.

With the Contribution Points given by Mo Yanan, the three of them swiped their cards to buy whatever they liked and even bought gifts for Xu Qianyao and the others.

Most shopkeepers offered home delivery services. Jiang Fei left the hotel address and then looked for a restaurant for lunch.

After shopping for most of the day, they chose the largest restaurant, which offered a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine.

As they stepped onto the stairs, a sneer came.

"Can you afford to eat there?"
