Bringing the Supermarket to the Apocalypse

Pushing the door inward, Lin Feng entered the consignment bank and found a spacious interior. Most of the furniture was made of stone, with only a few wooden cabinets.

Unlike the Shenwu auction house in the surface world, this consignment bank had various items displayed on counters. Some were familiar daily necessities, while others were entirely new to Lin Feng.

However, he didn't have time to examine them closely. Instead, he glanced around the room.

Seated behind a table, a slightly overweight middle-aged man was eating something. He had dark skin, wore a blue robe, and had narrow red eyes.

Lin Feng noticed that people in the underground world tended to wear clothes in three colors: red, black, and blue.

Red seemed common, although Lin Feng wasn't sure why. Black was popular as a tribute to Agulha, whose eyes were black. As for blue, it symbolized the sky, which they had never seen but longed for.

Lin Feng wore black sportswear, so he blended in without drawing attention.

"Cough..."

Lin Feng cleared his throat to get the middle-aged man's attention.

Finally looking up, the middle-aged man chewed his food and swallowed before asking, "You are?"

"I'm here to buy something. Do you accept items for sale here?" Lin Feng asked, pulling out a small cloth from his pocket and revealing its contents to the middle-aged man.

Before entering the consignment bank, Lin Feng had taken this item from the supermarket. He couldn't bring anything from the end of the world into the presence of the underground world.

"Of course, but what do you have?" The middle-aged man stood up, intrigued by the small object in Lin Feng's hand.

He approached Lin Feng, eager for business. His shop had been quiet for days, and any potential customer was a welcome sight.

Lin Feng unwrapped the cloth, revealing a beautiful bracelet.

He chose this item because he had seen others wearing similar bracelets on the street. Since the underground world didn't have an apocalypse, many people wore jewelry.

"Is it emerald?" The middle-aged man took the bracelet and examined it closely, his eyes lighting up.

Not surprised to see jade in the underground world, he carefully inspected the bracelet.

After a thorough examination, he stated, "The quality is good, with clear water and no cracks."

Looking at the jade bracelet, he nodded and glanced at Lin Feng, opening his mouth to inquire, "Do you have proof of ownership? I can't accept stolen goods."

Lin Feng replied calmly, "I understand. But I assure you, it's not stolen."

Lin Feng didn't feel obliged to provide proof, understanding the middle-aged man's concern. It was a common practice to avoid dealing with stolen goods.

"What's your asking price?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"I'll leave it to you to make a fair offer," Lin Feng replied.

The supermarket had priced the bracelet at 80,000 yuan, but Lin Feng wasn't sure of its value in the underground world.

"If sold, it would probably fetch three quinas. But since you're selling to me, I can offer two quinas," the middle-aged man suggested.

Lin Feng frowned slightly at the significant reduction in value but agreed to the deal.

He realized that the underground world had both copper and gold kuras as currency, but he wasn't sure of the exchange rate between them. However, he didn't want to ask, as it would reveal his ignorance of the currency system.
