The resource exchange price list had more than 20 pages, and the content basically covered most resources that human beings would need in their daily lives.
Although some items had unusual prices, they were still reasonable in the doomsday wasteland.
After all, food was always the most sought-after item.
“Sir, please hurry and confirm your exchanges. The people outside have been waiting for a very long time. Please be more understanding!”
The guard outside knocked on the door, poked his head in and reminded them.
Everyone was only allowed five minutes to make an exchange and would get kicked out if they exceeded the time limit.
In the event that a customer wanted to continue the transaction, he would have to queue up again.
However, ten minutes had passed since Su Mo entered, and the queue outside had grown to more than fifty people.
Seeing the crowd outside growing impatient, the guard had no choice but to remind him.
“Alright, I’m almost done!”
The prices in the resource exchange price list had been saved in their camera.
They would only need to change the film, print it out, and slowly analyze the prices in the hotel instead of wasting time.
“We’ll exchange… By the way, do you also accept expired food?”
“As long as it’s edible, it can be exchanged regardless of whether it is past its expiry date. However, the price will differ from food that isn’t expired!”
“Okay. We’ll exchange this food!”
Su Mo waved his hand, and two cardboard boxes appeared on the counter, producing a thumping sound.
“These bread are three months past expiry date, but they should still be safe to be eaten. You can check it and quote me a price.”
The bread had a shelf life of 90 days.
They were long expired when Su Mo found them in the small supermarket.
Su Mo was concerned about where to dispose of them, but now that they had such a good opportunity to get rid of them, he naturally would not let the chance pass.
Meanwhile, the female employee had evidently seen a lot of things and was not too surprised when she saw the two boxes of bread.
She skillfully opened the seal on the box with a knife and poured out the contents.
She counted the number of bread and then inspected them one by one to check if there was any mold.
After carefully counting them, a minute or two passed, and she finally put down all the bread. Then, she quoted a price. “There are two boxes in total with one hundred packs of bread that are three months and nineteen days passed the expiry date. One pack of bread is 120 grams. The purchase price for one pack of bread is…0.8 Origin coins, so one hundred packs will be…
“80 Origin coins!
“I’ll add on two more coins and pay you a total of 82 Origin coins. What do you think?”
A normal 100g bread would be priced at 1 Origin coin.
However, since the expired bread did not look too bad, it had to be slightly marked down and sold at a discount.
Su Mo’s expression was not dissatisfied, and he nodded in surprise, knowing that he was exchanging expired food for only 70%.
“Alright! Let’s exchange it for that amount!”
“Okay!”
Seeing Su Mo agree with the quotation, the other employees behind stepped forward to collect the bread and handed the cardboard box back to the soldiers behind Su Mo.
They counted, collected, and paid out the money.
After a series of procedures, ten bottles of cap-sized steel coins with numbers were counted and pushed toward Su Mo, completing the transaction,
“Thank you!”
Su Mo grabbed the coins, threw them into his coat pocket, and stood it without carefully inspecting them beforehand.
Regardless of the rules and procedures of the exchange center in the Origin Territory, Su Mo was satisfied.
Su Mo was even slightly jealous of the employees’ attitudes and capabilities. He could not help the thought of wanting to recruit all these talents on the spot and bring them back to his territory to handle caravans and other survivors.
Unfortunately, the thought would have to wait until he investigated the mysteries of the Origin Territory.
“You’re welcome, Sir!” The young female employee stood up with a smile on her face and watched Su Mo leave.
However, right before Su Mo walked out of the front door, the female employee suddenly mustered the courage and asked, “Sir, have I met you before? You seem extremely familiar, but I can’t remember if I’ve met you before.”
She felt she had some connection to Su Mo, and it seemed as if they had met somewhere before.
Regardless of the slightly contemptuous eyes of everyone behind her, the young female employee was filled with sincerity.
“Oh? What’s your name?” Su Mo turned around and maintained a natural expression.
“My name is Huang Yua. Huang Bing is my cousin…” Huang Ya stuck out her tongue as she pointed to the short guard beside Su Mo, feeling slightly embarrassed.
“Huang Ya…
“I don’t seem to recall seeing you before.”
Su Mo pretended to think for a while and smiled, not continuing to entertain the question. He turned around and walked out.
Everything was so natural and seemed not to have any abnormality at all.
