9: Super Brain

“Is that so?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun was immediately stunned.

In his opinion, the other party hadn't changed much.

He was thin, like he hadn't eaten for three days.

“Yes, you’ve changed so much!”

“You’ve grown so tall… and how did you become so handsome?”

When Zhang Yu saw Xiao Yun, he was also overjoyed.

But the chubby guy who came out with him had a puzzled look on his face.

“Yu ge, who is this?”

“Xiao Yun, my childhood friend! We used to go to the back mountain of the school every day to play Ultraman cards when we were in elementary school!”

“Oh! Ultraman cards, I love playing them too!”

Seeing Zhang Yu’s appearance,

memories flooded Xiao Yun’s mind, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

In Xiao Yun’s memory,

the other party seemed to have dropped out of junior high due to family reasons.

However, although he had no talent for studying, Zhang Yu had a very strong talent for gaming.

In elementary school, he could already make a living by taking orders for power leveling.

The last time Xiao Yun saw him was at Xingyu Internet Cafe at the entrance of the elementary school.

This guy, relying on his superb gaming talent, was actually appreciated by the female boss of Xingyu Internet Cafe and became an internet cafe manager.

At that time, Xiao Yun, who was still in school, was full of envy for his life.

Playing games every day and getting paid!

Where in the world was there such a good job!

Therefore, Xiao Yun was also a little puzzled, why did this guy come here?

“Zhang Yu, what are you doing in the restricted area?”

Xiao Yun asked in confusion.

“What else could I be doing? Of course, I’m here to make money!”

Zhang Yu said with a smile.

“I wanted to ask you what you’re doing here? At this time, shouldn’t you still be in class?”

Xiao Yun looked down at his school uniform and smiled helplessly.

He should have changed his clothes before coming.

“Just like you, here to make money.”

Xiao Yun said lightly.

“But I have a question, can you really make money?”

“Of course!”

Zhang Yu raised his head, looking a little proud.

“The money earned in this restricted area is incomparable to ordinary jobs!”

“The last time I successfully evacuated, I only brought out a right-angle ruler, do you know how much it was worth?”

“Two thousand five! A full two thousand five!”

Zhang Yu made a ‘two’ with his left hand and a ‘five’ with his right, his tone very excited.

“It’s incredible, right! A ruler sold for 2500!”

“I don’t know why things in the restricted area are so valuable, but they just are!”

“You know, when I was an internet cafe manager, my basic monthly salary was only two thousand five!”

“The income from just half an hour can be equivalent to my one month’s salary.”

“Xiao Yun, do you know what that feels like?”

“It’s simply… like life has a cheat code!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun also nodded silently.

For ordinary people, the income from the restricted area was indeed terrifyingly high.

Even a white item inside, just because it could be exchanged for various military supplies at GTI Official, was worth thousands.

Not to mention big red and big gold, if those were brought out, it would truly be an overnight fortune!

Therefore,

Xiao Yun could fully understand Zhang Yu’s thoughts.

However,

what surprised Xiao Yun was that they were actually able to evacuate from the restricted area?

For ordinary people, this was a probability of less than one in ten thousand.

“How did you do it?”

Xiao Yun asked in confusion.

“You mean evacuation? Of course, it’s by—”

Zhang Yu raised a finger and tapped his head.

“Brain! Super brain! Am I pronouncing it correctly?”

“Correct.”

“In short, this restricted area world has a lot in common with games, and my super brain is good at handling all of this.”

“Yu ge, let’s not talk so much! Let’s hurry and enter the map again!”

The chubby guy next to him urged.

“Get lost, you! Can’t you see I’m having a good time chatting with my childhood friend?”

Zhang Yu said, directly kicking him hard.

The chubby guy rubbed his butt aggrievedly, looking helpless.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun also stopped chatting.

After all, his hundred-slot safe box had a time limit, and he was also eager to deal with the supplies quickly and then enter the map again.

“Alright, let’s chat when we have time. I also plan to go into this restricted area world to check out the situation.”

“Aren’t you coming with us?”

Zhang Yu was very surprised.

“If you come with me, you can evacuate at least one item a week, and if you’re lucky, you can earn tens of thousands a week!”

“Alright, Yu ge, there’s no need to bring outsiders, right!”

“Go, go, go!”

Zhang Yu kicked him again.

Compared to Zhang Yu’s enthusiasm, the chubby guy seemed very unwilling.

After all, the supplies in this restricted area were limited to begin with.

Who would want one more person to compete for supplies?

“Never mind, maybe another time if there’s a chance.”

Xiao Yun said with a smile.

To be honest, he really wanted to see what method Zhang Yu had for evacuating.

But his current goal was still to earn money by quick runs.

“Alright, then let’s keep in touch.”

...

“Selling equipment! 99% new Level 3 armor! Used by a female university student!”

“Buying Level 6 bullets, buying Level 6 bullets, buying Level 6 bullets, buying Level 6 bullets!”

“Learn about loan equipment! Mortgage your RV in one second, allowing you to easily enter the map!”

Xiao Yun arrived at Eight Warehouse.

Originally, this was a place for storing goods, but after Nine Warehouse became the entrance to the restricted area, it was converted into an activity area for GTI members.

When Xiao Yun entered, he found it to be very lively.

One side of the warehouse was the Exchange, and the other side was shops selling various specialty snacks.

The huge warehouse was now packed with people.

“This looks like a tourist attraction.”

Xiao Yun sighed, finding a random spot next to the Exchange to sit down.

While resting, he also planned to process the supplies he had brought out from the last run.

[Safe Box: 45 / 100

Total Value: 127204]

According to his impression, the prices of supplies in this world were similar to those in the game.

The era of universal quick runs had passed for hundreds of years, and the prices of various supplies had long been stable.

According to the safe box’s estimated value, after deducting a 20% handling fee, that was roughly the money Xiao Yun would receive from selling the supplies.

That is, if everything in the safe box was sold, he would probably get around 100,000 yuan.

“I didn’t expect this pile of junk could earn 100,000 yuan!”

“If a big gold or big red came out, I wouldn’t even dare to imagine!”

“But the drop rate… it seems quite difficult to get high-value items.”

Xiao Yun muttered to himself.

After resting for a while, he registered at the Exchange and started queuing.

Number 78, with over thirty people ahead of him.

While waiting, Xiao Yun also thought about how to use this money.

Changing phones, changing computers, he wanted to, but it wasn’t what he should be doing now.

After all, this money could only be invested in himself to become stronger.

Only then could he acquire more supplies in the restricted area.

Although he had a hundred-slot safe box, after just one run, the safe box was less than half full.

If, after upgrading, he could fill the safe box every time,

even if everything he filled it with was green or white, each run would still yield nearly 100,000 in income.

“Hey, Xiao Yun!”

Just as Xiao Yun was thinking,

Lu Xueqing’s figure emerged from the crowd.

“What a coincidence, you’re also at the Exchange?”
