Chapter 136: Keta Rō’s Ownership
Huai Yu had questions in her heart, but whether Uncle Zaozi would go to work or not wasn’t the most urgent matter. So, she went straight to [Huaxia Gold].
It was rare that when she arrived at the shop this time, there were actually other customers inside. Huai Yu stayed quiet and simply browsed the goods in the display counter.
As she wandered around, her eyes landed on the big hole in the glass covered with a sticker, and she couldn’t help but think of Big Zai and Little Zai again.
Keta Rō was so smart, and Big Zai and Little Zai were also so smart. Their original owner, Gao Ming, was really something else!
After the two customers, both distressed yet excited, finally left, Huai Yu curiously walked over.
“What good stuff did they buy to be so happy?”
“What else could it be?” Boss Tang said proudly, “The game consoles in my shop have the best condition in all of Flower City! Little Yu, do you like playing games? I highly recommend this Master’s Sword!”
Last time Huai Yu came, she overheard that annoying lady criticizing Master’s Sword and even made Boss Tang angry.
Now hearing him promote it again, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Is it really that fun?”
“Of course! Look at this machine, 95% new, great condition! And the screen—even though it’s not convenient to connect it to a TV now, playing directly on this built-in screen doesn’t affect the experience at all!”
It was a cartridge-inserted game console. Huai Yu looked at it for a while, and honestly, she was tempted.
But—
“My house has no electricity.”
She said dejectedly.
“No way?” Boss Tang laughed. “How can your house not have electricity? Your family’s situation—”
Boss Tang suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He looked at Huai Yu, puzzled: “Your house really has no electricity?”
“Really no electricity.” She had already told Uncle Zaozi this, how could she still hide it from Boss Tang?
Huai Yu spoke casually, “It’s just me alone at home. Before… before I tricked you! Sorry about that.”
Boss Tang: …
This wasn’t just tricking him a little—it was a huge scam!
However, Huai Yu, all alone, always managed to get her hands on such good stuff. That was even more impressive than having a big family!
Everyone has their secrets these days anyway.
Boss Tang didn’t mind too much. He just asked curiously: “So, which community do you live in? Most communities have electricity now. You can’t even afford electricity?”
Huai Yu thought about her 5,000+ points now. She could afford electricity.
But—
“I don’t think anyone would be willing to supply electricity to the Rose Corridor side, right?”
Boss Tang was stunned for a moment, then almost jumped up, “R-Rose Corridor?!”
He stammered, completely losing his usual smooth demeanor.
“Yeah.” Huai Yu nodded. “Do you know that abandoned Rose Mansion next to Rose Corridor? I live there.”
Hiss—
Boss Tang sucked in a sharp breath, looking Huai Yu up and down in shock, admiration, and disbelief, totally speechless.
“But you…” He opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but there were too many questions, and he got stuck.
In the end, he just waved his hand, “I really—there I was being so proud before, turns out I totally misjudged.”
“It’s fine,” Huai Yu comforted kindly, “All my good friends who get to know me say the same thing.”
Boss Tang: …Thanks, but that’s not comforting at all.
“So why are you suddenly telling me this?” he asked, curious.
Huai Yu smiled sheepishly, “Because I’ve made a lot of friends recently, and you’ve all been so nice to me. It’s not right to keep hiding it.”
Well, at least she had a conscience.
Boss Tang snorted, then handed the game console to her: “Being able to live there is your skill. Just don’t forget me when you come across good stuff in the future—here, since you’re free, play a few rounds.”
“You’re so capable; sooner or later, you’ll have your own electricity. Even if no one supplies power to the Rose Corridor, you can just buy a diesel generator.”
“Generator?”
Huai Yu’s eyes lit up, “How much is that? Is there a solar-powered one?”
“There are solar ones, but the conversion rate isn’t high. A set of solar panels costs 2,000 points. Diesel is more practical.”
He thought for a moment, “5,000 points should get you a small one. Diesel fuel is extra.”
5,000 points?!
Huai Yu instinctively grabbed her bracelet—she only had a bit over 5,000 points in total!
If she bought a generator, would she still be able to eat?
She’d been feeding Zhou Qian every day lately, and her rice jar was almost empty.
Thinking of this, she sighed gloomily and didn’t even dare to touch the game.
Boss Tang asked her, “By the way, did you get anything good to sell during the holiday?”
Upon hearing this, Huai Yu’s expression became complicated.
“I did, but…”
She hesitated, making Boss Tang anxious, “Don’t tell me you sold good stuff to someone else?”
Huai Yu sighed, “I sold Keta Rō’s group ball.”
Boss Tang: …he was dumbfounded.
“R-Really sold it?”
“Yeah,” Huai Yu nodded. “Sold it to Uncle Zaozi and Chen Xing from Xinghe Adventure. They insisted on buying it.”
Boss Tang looked complicated—after these disaster years, people really dared to try anything!
Then Huai Yu added, “I came to discuss with you—let’s split the points into three shares.”
One for herself, one for Boss Tang, and one saved for Gao Ming.
Boss Tang didn’t actually care much about the split; what he cared about was Keta Rō’s ball—
“Are you sure it’s safe to eat and drink?”
Huai Yu thought about Zhou Qian, still in the hospital, and nodded firmly.
“They tested it and said it’s edible. They’ll probably sell it as group tea, with a mutation value of 5.3.”
That was a good money-making opportunity, but Boss Tang’s face didn’t look good. In fact, it became even more grim.
“What the hell is Gao Ming messing with every day?”
“I want to know too,” Huai Yu said curiously. “Keta Rō is so smart and even has these abilities. I don’t even dare tell others.”
“Exactly! You’re right to keep it quiet!”
Boss Tang nodded repeatedly, then told Huai Yu: “If you have a channel to sell that ball, sell it yourself. I don’t want to touch it.”
“Gao Ming doesn’t really need it anyway.”
“But Little Yu, make sure you protect this secret. Don’t let others find out.”
Thinking about it, since she lived at Rose Corridor, it might actually be safer!
After all, if she was capable of living there, she could definitely handle trouble.
Huai Yu nodded, then asked, “Keta Rō really likes it there. I wanted to ask how I can make it stay with me?”
Boss Tang actually missed Keta Rō too. If Huai Yu hadn’t mentioned selling its group ball, he really would have wanted to bring Keta Rō back.
But with its abilities, it definitely couldn’t stay in a busy market.
So Boss Tang breathed a sigh of relief, “Just let it stay with you. It’s safer than here.”
Huai Yu hesitated, “I want to meet Gao Ming. Is there a way?”
