"To be honest, I now understand why people hunt consular officers," Ji Shanqing said and let out a long sigh.
After saying this, Ji Shanqing let out a long sigh. He took out the last thing he found in his pants and placed it on the dining table. The dining table, which was supposed to be able to accommodate six people, was now half full.
One or two candles had already burned out. There were only a few short candles left on the table. They were still supporting the dim light curtain. Under the light of the candles, the assortment of items on the table shimmered faintly.
Lin Sanjiu did not join them. She sat at the back without saying a word. She watched the two of them take out the items one by one. Initially, she tried her best to keep a straight face, but now, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She couldn't hide her surprise.
"I've heard that consular officers are rich, but I didn't expect them to be so rich …"
Ji Shanqing and Qing Jiuliu also sat down at the table. The candlelight cast an orange-red glow on their faces. Other than their faces, everything else was hidden in the darkness, including the corpse not far from them.
— — At this time, there were eleven items on the table.
Eleven items didn't sound like a lot. If one visa could be exchanged for one item, then the consular officers should have at least ten items in their hands every time they went to a new world, even if Meat Elysium was a special case.
However, they would only need to travel to a few worlds to accumulate too many items. No one would be able to remember the names and uses of so many items. Therefore, the most popular method among consular officers was to dispose of most of the Special Items that they had no use for when they returned to the Twelve Worlds Centrum.
A "country bumpkin" like Lin Sanjiu didn't know that staying in the Twelve Worlds Centrum for a long time was very expensive.
Logically speaking, consular officers could afford to stay in the Twelve Worlds Centrum for the rest of their lives. However, they still had to travel to other worlds. It wasn't just to expand the types of visas they had, it was also to exchange for more resources. There were too many consular officers in the Twelve Worlds Centrum. A single visa, especially a normal visa, couldn't be sold for a good price.
In other words, the items on the dining table were the best items that Carrot Lo had carefully selected.
The first item on the left was a lacquered green birdcage that was half the height of a person. It was not fair to say that it was an item, because the birdcage was carved out of solid wood and was filled with all kinds of junk. No matter how high the status of a consular officer was, Carrot Lo still had to wear clothes and eat. It was obvious that he had stuffed some of his belongings into the birdcage and treated it as a suitcase.
"Why aren't you moving? Why are you still standing there?" Qing Jiuliu gestured at Lin Sanjiu with his chin. He took a sip of wine from the bottle and enjoyed it so much that his eyes narrowed into slits. "I'm waiting to see your introduction card."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him. Just as she was about to say something, Qing Jiuliu interrupted her.
"Good, good, good. We all know that you're in cahoots with us this time. It's a f * cking big deal. Hurry up and turn it into a card. "
Lin Sanjiu swallowed the words that she wanted to say. She let out a sigh, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She had been struggling with a problem for a long time, but Qing Jiuliu had solved it with just a few words. If she continued to push him away, she might even feel that she was being unreasonable.
She paused for a moment. In the end, she wiped the birdcage with her hand without saying a word. A card appeared on the table.
[Canary's Revenge]
"F * ck you, you big f * cking idiot, you are finally dead!"
When the apocalypse arrived, a certain "canary" who had been kept in captivity cheered in her heart. Her beautiful and youthful years had been twisted into a time when she was imprisoned by money and could no longer experience normal emotions. Because of that, she hated everything. She hated the man who did everything he could to prevent her from being independent. She hated the woman whom he called his legal wife. She hated their child. She was tormented by her own past. She feared her future and mocked her so-called love … Now that the apocalypse had arrived and everything was destroyed, her fear and hatred had manifested into a gigantic birdcage.
Target: Males and females aged between 36 and 70 years old, children under 10 years old, and couples of any age.
Method of implementation: Take out the birdcage in front of the target and open the door.
Effect: As long as the conditions are met, the person who sees the birdcage will walk into the birdcage with a blank expression. They will curl up into a ball and be imprisoned. However, the person can only be imprisoned for a maximum of ten days. After all, no one can be a canary forever. Once the ten days are up, the person inside the birdcage will be released no matter what.
Note: Apart from not killing the person in the birdcage, the owner of the birdcage will have to slowly test and discover what it can do. The effect of this item can be stacked with other Special Items.
PS: When using this item, be aware that the opponent has a Special Item or ability that counters it.
"This …" Ji Shanqing blinked his eyes in disbelief. "If you suddenly take this out when you are in a disadvantageous situation … this is a life-saving item."
"Luckily, none of us meet the conditions," Qing Jiuliu sighed.
Perhaps there were too few people who would attack a consular officer and even fewer people who met the conditions, so Carrot Lo didn't seem to use it much. Right now, the birdcage was filled with clothes, dry food, clean water, medicine, and other miscellaneous items that could be used in the future.
"Quick, take a look at the second item," the grand prize got excited and pushed the toothbrush to Lin Sanjiu.
It turned out that it was really just a toothbrush.
"Are you crazy?" Qing Jiuliu scolded and threw the toothbrush away, "Why didn't you put it in the birdcage?"
"Probably because they couldn't fit it in," the grand prize picked up the third item, "This must be a Special Item."
If it wasn't a Special Item, no one would carry a palm-sized plastic English letter around. Lin Sanjiu raised the red "e". She couldn't figure out what it was even after staring at it for a long time. Puzzled, she turned it into a card.
When they saw the words on the card, they stood up at the same time. They almost overturned their chairs.
[eBay]
That's right, you're not mistaken. It is the eBay that you are thinking of.
How could a mere apocalypse stop the advancement of the great capitalists? Even if the human race was wiped out, eBay still managed to survive. It had turned into many red plastic letters and was scattered all over the world. Any posthuman who owns this letter is an eBay user. They can use this letter to conduct all kinds of transactions.
Usage: When this letter is activated for the first time, a code will be generated. Even if the owner of the letter changes, this code will remain the same. All users will use this code to conduct transactions.
When the user holds the letter in his palm, the information generated by the letter will flow into the user's brain in the form of bioelectricity, forming a transaction screen. Let's not talk about the technical details. Users can upload items to trade, browse and search for other users' information and purchase conditions.
How do I get my hands on an item after I buy it?
This was really an unsolvable mystery.
Due to some unknown criteria, the eBay page would mark the items that "Forget it, you can't get your hands on it" in gray. Naturally, users couldn't buy these items.
Users had two options for purchasing items. One was to choose "same-world transaction". This was only possible when both parties were in the same world. The other was to choose "Pay eBay shipping fee". After paying a sufficient amount of shipping fee, the item you bought would fall out of the sky or somewhere else. Don't ask where it came from. That was a trade secret. It was the same principle when selling items.
The information on the card wasn't very detailed. Lin Sanjiu quickly finished reading the few paragraphs. However, the three heads remained frozen in the air. None of them spoke for a long time. When they finally came to their senses, Lin Sanjiu held the red plastic "E" tightly. She closed her eyes as the other two looked at her excitedly and blankly.
After a while, she finally opened her eyes again and let out a long sigh.
"How is it?" Qing Jiuliu craned his neck and asked anxiously, "What did you see? Why aren't you saying anything? "
The expression on Lin Sanjiu's face was like that of a child who had just stepped into a candy factory for the first time. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. However, after hesitating for a few seconds, she pushed the plastic letter to them, "You guys should take a look for yourselves."
The other two looked at each other.
After beating Qing Jiuliu in a rock-paper-scissors game, the grand prize grabbed the plastic letter and held it in his fist.
Apparently, this Special Item did not have any race requirements. The moment he closed his eyes, an image that looked like a screen lit up in his originally pitch-black field of vision.
Apart from the big "eBay", the first thing that caught his attention were the two lines of words that appeared like the opening of the movie.
"Number of eBay letters: 10927."
"Current number of users: 149."
In other words, there were tens of thousands of plastic letters in the apocalyptic world. However, there were only 149 people who had found and owned the plastic letters. The grand prize grumbled in his heart, "That's all there is to it." He averted his gaze. As he moved, the page slid slightly. As if sensing his gaze, the two lines of words on the second page appeared before his eyes.
"Total number of tradable items: 203."
"Current number of tradable items: 37."
Next up was the list of 37 items.
One after another, all kinds of bizarre objects flitted past the grand prize's eyes. For the first time in his one and a half years of life, he discovered a hobby of his.
