Lin Murong watched with wide eyes as Chi Yan spent all the remaining money on wet wipes.
What a wastrel! A disgrace to his ancestors!
Not buying food, but buying a pile of wet wipes.
He even said he had just a bit of OCD.
Just a bit?
When he checked out, the volume of wet wipes attracted onlookers.
People watching Chi Yan pay looked on with envy, wondering when they could ever be so extravagant.
There were those who admired him, and those who envied him bitterly.
"With all that money, why not buy some food to distribute to the starving? Buying such useless stuff," someone muttered sourly.
In his hand, he only had a box of instant noodles; he had wanted to grab some sausages too, but alas, he had no more money.
Then, after paying, he saw someone buying stacks of wet wipes.
The sight was a sharp pain to his eyes.
The one who spoke knew of Chi Yan's reputation and didn't dare to stand out; instead, he hid in the crowd, banking on his short stature, thinking Chi Yan wouldn't notice his sour comments.
Little did he know, Chi Yan heard him and precisely located him for a direct eye contact.
A chill in the air.
Startled by Chi Yan's look, the speaker shrank back into the crowd.
This Chi Yan, there were few in Sun Base who didn't know of him.
A doctor who didn't like to save people. He once drained the blood from a provoking Superpower User.
Chi Yan's character was complicated to describe; many Superpower Users in Sun Base wanted him dead, but he was a doctor with medicines and medical equipment, and his superpower was quite strong.
However, everyone in Sun Base knew that if you needed surgery from Chi Yan, you had to be mentally prepared.
Firstly, he was likely to refuse.
Secondly, he was likely to refuse.
Then, if he agreed, he would disdain the patient for being dirty, and after saving them, he would despise the patient and their family for being too stupid.
Lastly, his fee was very high.
Anyone in Sun Base who had sought Chi Yan's help inevitably avoided him after he saved their loved one.
Chi Yan was someone with high status in Sun Base, but no power, and someone nobody dared to provoke or approach.
Fortunately, Chi Yan only gave him one look before turning his head back to watch Su Yinhe packing the wet wipes.
The sour-tongued person let out a sigh of relief, hoping his face had gone unnoticed.
Chi Yan had bought such an enormous amount of wet wipes, Su Yinhe packed and packed but couldn't finish.
The wet wipes piled up like a small hill, Su Yinhe packed them on the counter, and Lin Murong was responsible for shifting the mountains from the floor to the counter.
As for Chi Yan...
He had already opened a pack of wet wipes and started wiping his hands.
Lin Murong: "..."
I often feel less like a person.
The damned capitalist, making him do so much work for a mere fifty yuan, he demanded a raise!
After persistent effort from Lin Murong and Su Yinhe, they finally managed to put all the wet wipes into bags.
It's just that the bag seemed... a tiny bit too much.
"So many, can the two of you carry them all?" Su Yinhe asked, looking at the countless bags with doubt.
"We can carry them, thank you for your concern," replied Chi Yan, wiping his hands a few more times. With a gentle wave of his now clean hands, the bags full of wet wipes vanished on the spot.
"Space superpower?" She seemed... to also have a space, right? She couldn't remember, she had received too many benefits from the system; she was only thinking about duping the system and asked for too much, she couldn't recall if she had a space.
She would have to try it out sometime.
"Yes." Chi Yan, who had finished wiping his hands, had a relaxed look in his eyes, clearly in a good mood.
"Can it hold living things? Is there something like Spiritual Spring land?" Su Yinhe asked excitedly, having read many apocalypse novels these days, where many protagonists had a space with a Spiritual Spring.
Then this Spiritual Spring water could not only beautify and nourish, but also prolong life.
"No, the space is static," Chi Yan answered her question patiently.
Lin Murong stood by, feeling that Chi Yan had sacrificed too much for his future wet wipes.
Chi Yan used to be anything but gentle.
If others asked a couple of questions, he'd get annoyed by their stupidity and call them idiots.
He still remembered when someone had injured their leg and spent a fortune in resources for Chi Yan to perform surgery. After the surgery, when the patient asked Chi Yan if he'd ever be able to walk normally again,
Chi Yan, annoyed by the stupidity, nearly cursed the man into a state of mute shock.
Many female superpower users in Sun Base fancied Chi Yan and tried to initiate further contact with him under the pretense of asking questions. Chi Yan didn't outright insult anyone, but the disdain in his eyes was unmistakable.
It was the look one gives to complete trash.
Of course, Chi Yan often gave him that same look.
Luckily, he had a good mindset, otherwise, he might've just trapped Chi Yan in a sack and given him a good beating.
It's just hard to say who would've ended up getting beaten in the end.
"Today you've bought a lot of stuff and can get a gift. What would you like?" Seeing a good-looking person seemed to freshen the air.
Looking at Chi Yan's face, Su Yinhe was impulsively a sentence too fast with his mouth, speaking before his brain could catch up.
"Anything?"
Su Yinhe looked at Chi Yan's eager expression and fell silent for a moment. "Um... there are no nuclear bombs."
"Then..."
"No rockets either."
"..."
"And no cannons."
"Pfft." Lin Murong couldn't help but laugh out loud after listening to their conversation.
Then he received a warning glance from Chi Yan.
Lin Murong covered his mouth, signaling that he didn't dare laugh at him.
Just as Su Yinhe was about to say something weird and wacky, Chi Yan cut in just in time.
"Do you have any small cakes?" He just wanted a small cake, not understanding why she would think he'd want those things.
He was always law-abiding, after all.
He hadn't even been inside a police station before the apocalypse.
"Yes, we do," Su Yinhe replied, feeling a bit ashamed. She didn't know why, but looking at Chi Yan's expression, those words had just slipped out.
How could she suspect him of wanting a nuclear bomb?
She was guilty.
He looked so refined, especially with glasses on, nothing like someone who'd want a nuclear bomb.
"What flavor do you want?"
"Just not durian."
"Hold on, I'll go upstairs and get it." After saying that, Su Yinhe ran upstairs.
"Hey! She just went up like that?" Lin Murong stared at the empty counter, starting to question his existence.
So what if Chi Yan was a bit handsome? It was their first day meeting, and the shop owner ditched the queue of people waiting to pay just for him?
Seems like Chi Yan's charm was quite effective.
"Brother Chi, don't forget about me when you become the shop owner's husband," Lin Murong decided to establish a good relationship in advance.
Chi Yan didn't correct Lin Murong's words. After knowing him for a while, he had learned one thing — you can't teach a fool.
On the second floor, there was a section specifically for selling various desserts and cakes. After going up, Su Yinhe grabbed a few four-inch cakes that had been pre-packaged.
She also picked up two desserts.
With too many items in her hands, it was a bit troublesome to go downstairs.
Lin Murong stared at what Su Yinhe brought down, stunned. He thought there would only be one, but there were six.
He suspected the shop owner was a sucker for good looks.
