Chapter 152 Good News Brought by Li Yong
The search for a new home after purchasing a radiation purifier has been fruitless, and the pioneers' efforts to venture deeper into areas with high radiation levels have proven unbearable.
Furthermore, the pioneers' operating costs were too high, requiring significantly more energy from energy crystal cores than the purifiers, and they soon faded from the scene.
"Although these two items are obsolete and no one would want them if sold to tech companies for recycling, you might be able to make a profit if you sold them to collectors."
Congratulations! Many newcomers to the garbage dump aren't even as lucky as you.
Li Pingdong looked on with envy as Yufei and her family packed up the two items, sincerely congratulating them and offering them the best possible advice.
Yufei didn't reject Li Pingdong's idea, nor did she tell him that they had other uses for these things. She simply smiled at him, as if acknowledging his suggestion.
Time always flies by. After having lunch at their rented apartment, Yufei started taking stock of their belongings.
Kukochi knew they were going back, but he thought they were returning to what they considered the Land of Miracles. Yufei had given him a list beforehand, and they bought a lot of machines and weapons from the Dawn Base.
Examples include small-scale radiation purifiers, small-scale controlled nuclear fusion generators, laser guns, light shields, and mechanical guns of various calibers.
At the same time, Kukoc also conveyed the family's expectations, hoping that Yufei and the others could bring more tea next time they came.
Tea has now become a craze throughout Area A. Areas B and C may have only heard of it but never actually seen it, yet they all know how popular tea is.
In the black market, tea prices were driven to astronomical levels, yet there was no market for it. His family, the Kuchi family of Korla, also used tea to reclaim the rights and market share they had lost over the years.
Of course, due to the popularity of tea, many families also sent out numerous spies to investigate the origin of their tea.
Kukoc was also being watched. This time, he had gone to great lengths to shake off the group of mice before he could reach them and see them off.
They also expressed their family's sincerity by transferring 100 million Dawn Coins into their smart wristbands as a deposit for tea with an uncertain return date.
Yufei and Kukochi's family had a very pleasant working relationship and had no intention of changing partners. Yufei also promised Kukochi and his family that they would bring their family's tea back to the base as soon as possible.
After both sides got what they wanted, Kukoc didn't disturb Yufei and the others and went back first. His family had too many things to deal with lately, and he had been conscripted into the army.
Yufei and the others rested briefly in their rented house, and when it was almost time, they drove back to Daxia through the countryside.
After 15 days of wandering on an alien planet, some soldiers were starting to miss home. Except for Lei Jun, who was slightly more concerned, the other soldiers were filled with excitement. Even though they tried their best to control their emotions, their joy was palpable.
Yufei's feelings were rather complicated. She was definitely happy that she was going back soon, but she was still worried about Odin and had some expectations in her heart, but... she still hadn't received a message from Li Yong.
Yufei knew in her heart that the hope was very slim, but she couldn't stop imagining how great it would be if he agreed to their cooperation. Her mind was in such turmoil.
"What? You're not happy about going back? You haven't fallen in love with this place, have you?" Lei Jun joked with Yufei, who seemed distracted.
Yufei shook her head.
"Brother Lei, you know perfectly well what's bothering me, yet you still tease me. If you keep teasing me, I'll call you Uncle Lei! I'll make you die of old age!"
"Haha, Xiaoyufei, your nickname and your thoughts are really hurting my tender heart."
After saying this, he made an exaggerated expression of Xi Shi clutching her heart, which made Yufei laugh. Lei Jun breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Yufei was no longer frowning.
"Life doesn't always go as planned; there will always be regrets. We can only do our best in this matter. If he didn't agree this time, we'll go and pester him next time, doing everything we can to clear up the misunderstanding between us."
If we still can't achieve cooperation with him in this way, it only means we're not meant to be, and it's his loss. So don't waste your time on this.
Lei Jun patted Yufei's head and walked away... He had said everything he needed to say; she still needed to think things through herself, and he was giving her space to consider.
Yufei gazed in the direction Lei Jun had left. She understood the道理 (principles/reasoning) Lei Jun had spoken of.
Perhaps because everything had gone smoothly for her since her rebirth, she could quickly achieve what she wanted to do, and she hadn't experienced rejection in a long time, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.
After Lei Jun's words of advice, she felt much better. Indeed, there are many unsatisfactory things in life, and it is impossible for everything to go smoothly. If it doesn't work this time, then next time she will go to Grandpa Odin's house and pester him relentlessly to resolve the misunderstanding between them first. As for whether a cooperation can be reached, that's another story!
Having figured things out, Yufei went out and joined them, looking forward to returning home.
Sometimes life is like cultivating immortality; when you break through in your state of mind, many things become clear. (This was during their final inventory before returning home.)
The text message Yufei had been waiting for finally arrived. Li Yong texted Yufei saying that Old Man Odin had finally relented and was willing to talk to them.
Actually, Odin was so annoyed by Li Yong that he told them to come over, saying exactly, "Let's see what kind of nonsense they can come up with!" But if he still didn't agree, they shouldn't bother him anymore!
Upon seeing Li Yong's text message, Yufei and Lei Jun rushed to Odin's residence without wasting a moment.
"Grandpa Odin, are you feeling better? This is just a small token to help you recover; please accept it." Yufei placed a gift box on the table beside her, smiling as she reminisced with Odin.
"Oh! No, no, not at all! You should take this back! There are some things this old man can't accept!"
Odin glanced at it, then looked away and said sarcastically.
"This..." Li Yong awkwardly invited Yufei and the others to sit down.
"Old man Odin, if you want to talk, just talk properly. There's no need for you to be so sarcastic," Li Yong tugged at Odin's sleeve and whispered to him.
"Hmph!" Odin snorted and looked at Yufei and the others.
"Just say what you have to say. There's no need for all this beating around the bush. I'm only sitting down to listen to what you have to say because of Li, but I still maintain that I will never cooperate with you."
Odin bluntly expressed his meaning to Yufei and the others, then gave them a "do as you please" look and stopped talking.
“Grandpa Odin, there may be a misunderstanding between us. I don’t know if someone said something to you that made you so hostile towards those you are working with, but we are sincerely seeking your cooperation.”
