Chapter 42 Major Customers

“Gu Yanqing, are you speaking human language? Xiaolan has money because her family gave it to her. She’s married to you, how dare you use her money while keeping yours?”

Gu Yanqing immediately defended himself, “Mom, I didn’t mean it that way. I just wanted to tell you that we don’t lack money. Xiaolan asked me to give you this money, just accept it.”

“Alright, just remember that. Thank her for me. I’ll accept the money, now go.” Hu Guifen stuffed the money into her pocket and shooed him away.

After Gu Yanqing left, Gu Changshun praised him for being considerate and filial. But not long after, Gu’s three older brothers came one after another to give their retirement money. Although they only added five to ten yuan, it still touched Gu Changshun and Hu Guifen. They had raised such good sons! Each of them cared about their parents.

Gu Yanqing’s injury had almost healed, but he still couldn’t handle high-intensity training. After lunch, he called the military unit and applied to return to the unit for gradual training. He also mentioned that he would be bringing his family member with him and that the housing issue had been resolved. The leader was naturally happy and asked him to go after finishing his family affairs.

They were about to leave home. Qian Xiaolan took him to tidy up the courtyard and gave the key to Hu Guifen. Then, she asked him to take his three brothers into the mountains. There were exactly three traps, one for each of them. As for his parents, she told them to share some of the wild game they hunted with them.

While Gu Yanqing was away, Qian Xiaolan went to Wenxuan again and exchanged a lot of grain, pork, chicken, duck, fish, meat, western medicine, cloth, cotton, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc. She exchanged a little bit of everything she could think of, for fear of running out of clothes, food, and medicine on the island. Of course, she didn’t lack Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine took a long time to work. What if she encountered an emergency, and her acupuncture skills weren’t good enough? Wouldn’t she be in a panic?

That’s right, she had already figured out what she would do after joining the army. Although she had only started learning medical skills not long ago, the space had three times the speed of time flow. It had been over a year since she started learning medicine. She could still treat common illnesses. Once they settled down, she would first take the exam to become a barefoot doctor and then continue learning. Fortunately, the provincial capital where they were going had a medical university. When the college entrance exam was reinstated, she could also take the exam to go to university.

Just when Qian Xiaolan was sitting in the space, organizing things and thinking about the future, the trading mall had activity again. She curiously clicked on it, and saw a message from Gu Yanqing, the “Cold User”: [I have a wild boar, I need to exchange it for rice, pork, flour, quilts, cotton.]

Qian Xiaolan smiled and agreed, taking the wild boar. Then, she turned around and listed the wild boar for sale to Wenxuan. Wenxuan thought this girl was a bit strange. She clearly had a wild boar, yet she was buying pork from him. But whatever, this way, he could make a little more money. Hey, novels weren’t completely fake after all. He was the handsome, rich and powerful male lead in this world with a protagonist halo and golden fingers. It’s just that, it would be great if Qian Xiaolan could exchange items with him more often. He just thought about it, but to his surprise, Qian Xiaolan came to find him in the middle of the night.

Qian Xiaolan didn’t want to trade with someone in the middle of the night either. She had just been exhausted by that insatiable man, her body was about to fall apart, and her eyelids were heavy. But then, an alarm suddenly rang in her mind, getting louder and louder, almost giving her a concussion. Qian Xiaolan had no choice but to get up and pretend to go to the bathroom, then enter the space. It was really troublesome that she couldn’t enter the space with her consciousness. Just as she finished complaining, a voice suddenly rang in her mind, “The mall can be upgraded to level three. Keep going, master.”

Qian Xiaolan was surprised, “Xiao Qi, you’re awake!”

“No, I can only occasionally regain consciousness now. Master, hurry and check out the new customer. She’s about to die.”

Qian Xiaolan was startled and immediately opened the video trading. The next second, Qian Xiaolan saw a woman covered in blood, her consciousness fading, lying in a closed room.

“Hey, how are you? I have medicine here. Wake up and take it.”

The woman heard that there was medicine and her eyes suddenly opened. They were sharp, alert, and full of murderous intent. The look was too terrifying, and Qian Xiaolan couldn’t help but take two steps back. Then she remembered that the woman couldn’t reach her, so she calmed down.

The woman propped open her eyelids and looked at Qian Xiaolan for a while, then asked in a hoarse voice, “Who are you? Do you really have medicine?”

Qian Xiaolan, “I’m the owner of the trading mall now. I have common medicines here, like wound medicine, painkillers, fever reducers, cold medicine, etc. But I can’t give it to you for free. I need something in exchange.”

The woman’s eyelids, which had just opened, immediately closed again, “I have no money now.”

Just as Qian Xiaolan was at a loss, Xiao Qi’s voice rang in her mind again, “Let her exchange it with a level three crystal core.”

“A zombie crystal core from the apocalypse?”

“Yes.” Qian Xiaolan’s eyes lit up and she immediately said to the woman, “You have a level three crystal core, right? You can trade it with me.”

The woman was stunned, then excitedly pulled out a handful of colorful crystal cores from her body.

“List the crystal cores!” Qian Xiaolan instructed her while quickly listing the medicines.

After the woman took the medicine, she immediately ate two anti-inflammatory pills, then cleaned her wounds, applied medicine, and bandaged them. Throughout the whole process, she didn’t frown once. Qian Xiaolan was impressed.

She estimated the value of the crystal cores and silently listed some food and water.

When the woman saw the food and water, her eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

“I have a lot of level three crystal cores. Can I exchange them for more food?” She listed over thirty crystal cores in one breath.

Qian Xiaolan nodded, “Of course. You can also trade gold and silver jewelry with me.”

The woman’s eyes shone even brighter. She devoured a piece of chicken cake and then pulled out a large wooden box and listed it. Qian Xiaolan opened it and saw that the jewels and precious stones were so dazzling that they almost blinded her eyes. If these things were brought to the modern world, they would be worth billions!

“I want flour, rice, and miscellaneous grains. The quality doesn’t matter, just a lot, the more the better.”

Qian Xiaolan nodded. Even if she emptied her space, it wouldn’t be enough. She called Wenxuan to help her. This time, she had enough things to trade. She directly asked Wenxuan to give her ten tons of flour, rice, millet, cornmeal, and various beans and peanuts. Xiao Qi said that the crystal cores she traded today could double the size of the space. She didn’t have to worry about not having enough space anymore. This customer made her really happy today.

Wenxuan was also happy. After completing this deal, he could eat, drink, and lie flat for a year.

… After completing a big deal, Qian Xiaolan couldn’t sleep from excitement. When she turned over for the third time, she woke Gu Yanqing up. The result was that she was pressed down by Gu Yanqing and had another round of “getting busy “. In the end, Qian Xiaolan passed out.
