Chapter 172. New Products

     The Supernatural Investigation Bureau paid the deposit promptly, the old equipment in the space was intact, and with a considerable amount of free time available for personal use during work, Ye Mo crafted the first batch of equipment extremely quickly, taking only four and a half days.

     Furthermore, over half of the finished products possessed high-level attributes.

     Among them were five space bracelets with a capacity of 500 square meters each, and the most satisfying weapon was a fire-elemental Miao saber (Miao Dao) (Strength +10, Speed +8, Constitution +9). All of these were achieved despite limitations imposed by the chosen materials and the existing equipment.

     Ye Mo first gave Ji Li  the customized equipment, then transferred the remaining 99% to Wang Xue . She and Watson could freely select a portion, but they had to be recorded in the financial account. 

     Among them were items specially prepared for Wang Xue and Watson, mainly for Watson’s relatives, as well as weapons and prayer mats for Watson’s elder brother.

     Just after these items were transferred, Ji Li received the space bracelets, weapons, and defensive armor, and immediately sent the fire-elemental spirit jade to Ye Mo.

     Upon clicking ‘receive,’ the air instantly became scorching hot. The fire-elemental spirit jade appeared to be burning, evoking thoughts of the lava in the Jurassic copy.

     “Woof woof woof!”

     Bandit seemed particularly averse to the fire-elemental spiritual energy, its tail drooping and entering a fierce defensive mode.

     “Bandit.”

     Ye Mo comforted the frightened dog while putting the oval red jade into the belt space.

     To thank Ji Li for his trust, she replied to Ji Li, 【Maria’s store may open tomorrow. If there is anything you want, you can contact Xiaoxue before it is sold. Everything is half price.】

     Ji Li: 【Okay.】 

     Wang Xue and Hua Sheng had prepared a large room to store the equipment, but Ye Mo’s skills had improved again, nearly doubling the number of finished products, and the quality was beyond measure.

     Financial Officer Xue: “!!!”

     Wang Xue didn’t really want to be the small organization’s finance manager. Pricing and clearing these goods was truly not easy, and she didn’t know how Sister Jing had managed to juggle so many roles before.

     Watson politely declined this responsibility.

     It wasn’t until the morning of the second day that Maria’s shop finally reopened.

     Except for the official replies from large and small organizations, other survivors have different reactions:

 

   【Snow White, you’re lowering the big shot’s taste, don’t hit me, dog head jpg. 】

   【Newbie here for observation, looking at the points in my pocket, can’t even afford mid-level weapons, I’m so poor, burst into tears. 】

   【Wow, there are medicines too, already bought medicine from the system, crying to death, if only I had waited for Maria’s shop to open, wasted so many points.】 

   【Maria’s shop definitely has high-quality goods, support!】 

   【Watson and Wang Xue’s products are also out? As expected, in this day and age, without a secondary job and without entering the top 100 rankings, you can’t be a big shot’s follower.】 

   【699 points? God, is listening to a song this expensive now? Damn.】 

   【What does the Ghost-Seeing Compass in Maria’s Armory mean? 】

   【Upstairs is outdated, don’t you know that dying in the real world temporarily turns you into a ghost? The Chinese police have a netherworld department, what about America? The British Empire? France?】 

   【Living in a city with more graves than houses, I really don’t want to use a Ghost-Seeing Compass!】 

   【Incubator—Maria’s shop’s goods are helping me understand this world. Asking, does anyone have a Pterosaur egg? Wouldn’t she/he be able to soar thousands of miles away? 】

   【Awesome, asking for a divine beast bestowed by heaven. 】

   【……】

 

     Wang Xue no longer had time to joke with the survivors in the forum, her private messages kept flashing.

     All of them were customers.

     Watson’s medicines were not many, mainly low-end and mid-range, and sold out the fastest, Ye Mo’s equipment was huge, and it was not so easy to sell out, but the purchase volume of several organizations still shocked Wang Xue.

     Selling once, the backstage points are soaring.

     And for Maria’s sake, large and medium-sized organizations will buy one of Wang Xue’s two piano pieces, and many also want to buy them for research.

     Small organizations and individuals rarely ask, unless serious psychological problems have affected their lives, and there are also a few survivors or relatives of survivors.

     As for the recycling station.

     There is nothing in the jade essence book category for the time being, but there are a few plants from other worlds that have been traded, but they don’t know what they are used for, maybe they are half-dead.

     The plants have been in Watson’s hands, and he is currently doing his best to treat them.

     Wang Xue refused Ye Mo’s help, changing her slouching posture and sitting up straight, her eyes shining:【 Hehe, the time to test my hand speed has arrived! 】

     Ye Mo: 【As long as you are happy.】 

     …

     With Wang Xue’s help, Ye Mo was happy to have some leisure time. On the weekend, she went back to Majing Hutong in Beijing with her dog to see Grandma Ye, Uncle Ling, Aunt Zhang, and the others.

     The entry and exit checks in the capital city were noticeably stricter.

     When Ye Mo traveled from Zhangjiakou City to Beijing at the highway exit, she was checked by traffic police who asked for her ID and simple personal information, as well as her purpose of visit.

     Their excuse wasn’t about searching for criminals, but rather that a foreign leader was visiting China.

     Indeed, recently, the number of news broadcasts featuring leaders from various countries visiting China has gradually increased. There were two such visits last week alone. China has somehow become a hot commodity.

     In fact, many people have noticed the changes in the world. Ye Mo often heard colleagues discussing it, but everyone preferred to believe that a world war was breaking out, rather than guessing about the Survivor app.

     Unless someone maliciously shares it, in which case, many countries have passed laws to classify sharing the Survivor app on public networks as a serious criminal offense.

     There was a hot topic on the Survivor forum specifically discussing this, and the specific sentences could be inquired from the Cobra Intelligence Agency, as they were cooperating with an increasing number of countries.

     After entering the city, Ye Mo also saw a road construction sign. The reason wasn’t road construction, but rather that a greenbelt tree on this street had suddenly mutated.

     It was a good wood-elemental mutation, capable of providing wood-elemental energy to the surrounding flowers and plants, but it was currently too weak to be transplanted immediately, so it was fenced off for protection.

     Majing Hutong basically remained the same. The flowers, plants, and trees in the various courtyards, apart from growing more luxuriantly, showed no other abnormalities. This was related to Ye Mo’s act of ‘mercilessly destroying flowers’ during one of her spatial teleports at night.

     Grandma Ye’s health was also improving, and her hearing had gotten much better. Now, she would take a few strolls around the courtyard every evening after dinner.

     Having lived such a long life, she had experienced many ups and downs, forming her own philosophy of life.

     So, this time when Ye Mo returned, she tactfully told Grandma Ye about some things, of course, all on the positive side.

     Grandma Ye touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and smiled, indicating that everything should take its natural course.

     Ye Mo always respected her

     Uncle Ling, who was originally on the retirement list of the police, could continue to be a policeman in Majing Hutong because of Ling Xiao’s relationship and his own wishes.

     When Ye Mo returned home this time, Uncle Ling and Aunt Zhang were no longer completely ignorant of the changes in the world, which were purely speculation. They now fully understood and supported Ling Xiao’s decision.

     The newly added supernatural department in the police station was working there openly.

     Aunt Zhang looked more worried than Uncle Ling, and until Ye Mo left the next day, she was still nagging tirelessly: “Xiao Mo, you must be careful to protect yourself while working outside. Don’t come home too late at night, and don’t work night shifts. There have been so many cases at the bureau recently. Do more exercise in your own yard in the morning, you office workers…”

     Uncle Ling and his wife had secrets they couldn’t tell, making them feel uncomfortable, Ye Mo knew even more secrets but couldn’t tell them either, so she could only watch them feel uncomfortable.

     “…”

     No nested secrets .
