Chapter 145 Oh no! Our Korla-Kuchi has lost face!
"Here! Take this smart ring with you." Lei Jun handed the smart ring that Tu'e had given him to Yufei after she sat down.
Yufei took the smart ring from Lei Jun, nodded, and began the binding process without saying a word.
This was something they had discussed beforehand; Yufei was responsible for keeping all the logistical supplies.
Their duty was also to protect Yufei. Tu'e watched the interaction between Lei Jun and Yufei, a dark glint in his eyes. Based on his years of experience as a sect leader, it seemed this group was primarily focused on the young girl.
It seems this little girl holds a high position in the Land of Legends, and may even be an heir to a family lineage like her son.
It seems they need to cultivate a good relationship with this person; they can't afford to neglect him. Let's analyze this further.
Their lunch ended up lasting until evening, mainly because Tusa and Kukoc were just getting into this new way of eating and were really enjoying it!
After finishing the mutton, tripe, and honeycomb tripe, the two grown men still weren't satisfied and started acting all cute and cuddly towards Yufei.
Yufei was quite dizzy and lightheaded, but still agreed to their request for another round. Tusa excitedly brought two adult three-eyed cows from his family, each larger than an elephant on Earth.
They ate until 7 or 8 pm, and Yufei and the other 10 people were already too full to eat anymore, so they just watched as Tusa and the other two ate heartily.
Tu'e blushed, but his hands didn't slow down an inch. There was no way around it; they just had big appetites, and their energy expenditure was high. It was only the first day of their meeting, and it was already like this—he felt he had somewhat disgraced the Korla Kuchi family.
The reason they were eating later was mainly because of those two! He gave them countless winks, but Tusa acted like he didn't see anything, calmly continuing to eat. Kukoc was even more oblivious, repeatedly asking him if he had an eye problem, as he kept sneezing.
He was so angry he wanted to tear off the belt from the man's waist and give him a good beating! As plate after plate of beef emptied, he clearly sensed that the eyes of the people from this legendary place, who didn't seem very old, had gone from shock to numbness.
He gave up on treatment. Those two had already tarnished the reputation of the Korla Kuchi family; one more wouldn't make a difference. Why suffer for the sake of saving face?
He decided to eat as much as he wanted, and it really was satisfying to be shameless—he ate with gusto! Oh my god, it was so good! ⊙▽⊙
Around 8 o'clock, the black market opened, and Yufei finally managed to feed the three big eaters. Yufei rubbed her already sore arms and vowed that she would never be asked to cook again for a while; she was going on strike!
Fortunately, Kukoc must have told his uncle and father that Yufei and the others had business at the black market, so he ate lunch at 8 pm and, satisfied, dragged his belly along as he saw Lei Jun and Yufei off to the black market.
The three of them leisurely went home. Yufei and Lei Jun had a very clear goal in mind today: to settle the old man's debt and then see if they could reach a cooperation agreement with him.
This dimensional pocket is crucial for their subsequent work. With it, they can wait 14 days to go home and bring back a wider variety of supplies when they return.
During this time, we can also see if we can exchange the supplies they brought for their local currency, and then use that money to buy weapons like radiation purifiers, gravity missiles, electromagnetic cannons, and laser guns to build their Great Xia.
"Strange! I remember correctly, this is the place—that old man." Yufei looked around, comparing the environment to where she bought the Dimensional Pocket yesterday, and confirmed that she hadn't gone to the wrong place.
Helpless, she looked at the man busy with his stall nearby. Wait a minute! Isn't this the same man who tried to dissuade them yesterday? The man who was so willing to talk to them yesterday seemed like a kind-hearted person.
Yufei squatted down in front of the man's stall with a smile on her face.
"Little girl, what would you like to buy? I have brin bird feathers and snow rabbit pelts here."
As Yufei spoke, she saw the man from yesterday. He took out several brightly colored feathers and a piece of snow-white animal hide, which was about a meter long, from the bag next to him.
The bright colors came from the feathers of the Brinbird, one of the most popular decorations among the girls at Dawn Base. Li Yong noticed that a girl had come to his stall.
He then took out the two most popular items among girls from his inventory. Yufei stared blankly at the two items the kind uncle had given her yesterday.
Forget it! Although buying things wasn't her original intention, couldn't mutual benefit bring them closer? It would also make it easier for her to inquire about things. After thinking about it for a moment, she started looking at it seriously.
I must say, the plumage of this brin bird is not only brightly colored, but the texture is also quite good. Unlike peacock feathers, which look beautiful but don't feel good to the touch, this is very silky, even having a slight silky texture.
If these feathers were made into a skirt… they would be both comfortable and beautiful. Yufei thought about buying them, and at the same time, her gaze fell on the rabbit pelt that was over a meter long. She touched the pelt.
Wow, this is really great! Not only is it big, but the feel is amazing, so smooth! Even better than those rabbit fur items in her online space.
This piece of fur is quite large; it could easily make a complete rabbit costume, and it will definitely be very warm in winter! I can also show it off to my friends then.
Looking at the rabbit skin, Yufei's thoughts drifted away; she...missed her friends.
"Uncle, how much are these two items?" Yufei forced her thoughts back and asked, quite satisfied with the two items.
"A 1000 yuan feather for a brin bird, a 1 yuan snow rabbit hair," Li Yong said happily. "Not bad, a big customer!"
Yufei didn't haggle with the old man and readily paid for 10 brin bird feathers and a snow rabbit skin. While he was packing them up, she asked him for advice.
"Uncle, do you know where that old man from yesterday went?" Yufei pointed to the location of Aoting's stall from yesterday.
"Huh? That old man!" Li Yong was puzzled. Why would anyone be looking for that old man? Did another victim want to cause him trouble?
Li Yong frowned and looked at Yufei a few more times. Hmm? This girl looks familiar! Li Yong searched his memory for Yufei.
"Hey! I knew you looked familiar! You're that little girl from yesterday who insisted on buying that old man Odin's junk no matter what I said, right?"
Li Yong realized who Yufei was, and with an "I knew it" expression, he said to Yufei...
"I already told you! That thing is useless! You're here to return it?"
Li Yong seemed to have thought of something again, and looked at Yufei with sympathy.
"Young lady, there's nowhere to return things now."
"Oh?! What's wrong?" Yufei asked calmly, a little anxious inside upon hearing Li Yong's words.
