Ji Mengyao was leading the way when she suddenly passed by a flashy sunglasses-wearing teenager.
It was the same guy who had driven a truck 'to stock up' and invited her for a drink the other day.
"Mengyao, did you forget to submit your report?"
Seeing Ji Mengyao, he immediately stopped to greet her, as if reminding her of something.
"Ah! I forgot to bring it over!"
Hearing the teenager's reminder, Ji Mengyao reacted as if she had been electrocuted.
"Hurry up, hurry up. You always forget, and I've reminded you so many times."
The teenager showed a look of "I knew it," sighed helplessly, and then Ji Mengyao turned to Ning Yu and the other two, bowing slightly and clasping her hands in apology:
"Sorry, sorry, I'll be right back. Can you guys just wander around here for a bit?"
"No problem," Shen Yiyue immediately replied. She and Shen Qianqian were quite interested in the various areas around them and wanted to explore.
Ning Yu also nodded slightly.
"Then wait for me, don't wander too far!"
She turned around and immediately started running, probably thinking of finishing the task quickly and submitting the report.
"Hey~ Mengyao, what about that drink we talked about yesterday..."
The sunglasses-wearing teenager seemed to want to bring up yesterday's matter, but in the distance, Ji Mengyao's perfunctory voice came:
"Next time for sure!"
The teenager, hearing this, showed a dejected expression:
"Hai, another 'next time for sure,' this is the eighty-seventh time already..."
Under his lowered sunglasses, his clear eyebrows were revealed, and suddenly seeing the two, he showed a thoughtful expression:
"Oh... you must be the two awakened ones that Mengyao mentioned!"
"Welcome to the Ark!"
He laughed cheerfully, greeted the three, and without saying much, turned and left.
The three also responded casually and began to observe their surroundings, thinking about where to go in such a short time.
"Sister... I want to go there..."
Shen Qianqian's little hand tugged at Shen Yiyue, pointing to the free trade area where someone was selling candy.
It was a type of soft candy that had been very popular before, with colorful packaging that was especially appealing to children.
Several parents, with their children, were already there, talking to the vendor about something.
Shen Yiyue, who always doted on her sister, immediately agreed:
"Let's go take a look."
She then turned her gaze to Ning Yu, who pointed to the other side of the free trade area:
"I'll go over there and take a look. Let's meet at the entrance later."
Ning Yu noticed that someone seemed to be looking to buy something, and she wanted to see if she could trigger a task.
"No problem!"
Shen Yiyue responded and led her sister over.
Ning Yu also arrived at another area, where she saw people holding signs, using coupons to buy some strange items.
None of these items were ordinary necessities and couldn't be directly exchanged at the base.
In addition to using coupons, bartering was also supported, with the specifics to be discussed between the two parties.
Ning Yu scanned the area, seeing requests ranging from power banks and skincare products to antidepressants.
She approached each one, trying to trigger a task, but no system prompts appeared.
Ning Yu felt a sense of unease,
Could it be that after coming all this way, she couldn't trigger a task? Wouldn't that be a waste of a trip?
Until she reached the girl looking to buy antidepressants, she saw the girl's sign that read:
"Need Sertraline or Prozac, available for purchase with coupons or barter"
[Task required charm value: 5, host charm value: 11, qualified.]
[Ding! Task triggered: Trade the medication the girl needs]
[Task reward: Random attribute point *1, points *1000]
It's finally here.
Ning Yu was overjoyed. She opened the system mall and found the medication listed there:
[Prozac (1 box): points *1500]
If she traded with the girl, spending 1500 points and receiving a reward of 1000 points, it would be equivalent to 500 points for 1 attribute point, which was a great deal.
The girl, who seemed to have depression, was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged to her chest, her eyes vacant.
She seemed to have no hope of getting the medication.
Although the Ark had many supplies available for exchange, in this apocalyptic world, many people with special diseases or needs were still difficult to satisfy.
The exploration teams prioritized meeting the basic survival needs of everyone when they went out.
Seeing someone approach, the girl was initially delighted.
But when she saw that the person was a beautiful silver-haired girl, her gaze fell again.
She didn't think Ning Yu would have the medication.
"Excuse me, I have a box of Prozac. How many coupons are you willing to trade for it?"
Ning Yu didn't waste any time. For this attribute point, she would trade even if the girl didn't want the medication.
After exchanging, she took out the brand-new box of medication from her bag and handed it to the girl.
Seeing the medication, the girl was overjoyed, her voice trembling with excitement.
She hadn't gotten the medication for a long time, as it was quite niche.
"How many do you want?"
Her eyes fixed on the box, her desire was unmistakable, and Ning Yu felt she might even try to snatch it.
Here, a coupon was roughly worth a meal.
It was basically the value of a bread or a packet of instant noodles.
Ning Yu, who wasn't short on food, casually said:
"Give me 6 coupons."
That was equivalent to two days' worth of food. The box of Prozac contained over twenty pills, which could support two weeks under normal circumstances, or even longer if saved.
Food at the Ark wasn't that scarce, so Ning Yu's offer was quite cheap.
"Okay! Okay! Deal!"
The girl agreed very quickly and began to take out the coupons from her pocket, counting them.
But soon, she showed an embarrassed expression, apparently only having 5 coupons, one short.
Maybe she hadn't noticed that she had used some of her coupons without realizing it, and she immediately became nervous.
If she couldn't trade now, she would completely run out of medication.
She really didn't want to go back to those days of being tormented by depression, feeling like she couldn't breathe, even wanting to end her life.
She looked up at Ning Yu with a pleading gaze, saying:
"I... I don't have enough, can I..."
Before she could finish, Ning Yu had already taken the medication and handed it to her, then took the 5 coupons she had.
"Sure, take it."
The girl was clearly stunned:
Could this be the legendary little angel?
She couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, thinking she had met a kind person who understood her difficulties, and kept thanking Ning Yu.
Ning Yu waved it off, indicating it was nothing, and turned to leave.
"Please... wait a moment!"
