Chapter 252 So Miserable (Second Update)

Mink took three one-hundred federal currency bills from his wallet and handed them to the boss, then he said to Su Ming and Ankajia.

“There’s not much to eat here, only small stalls, so just make do.”

“It’s fine, let me introduce you, this is my classmate Ankajia.”

Su Ming introduced her to Mink.

“Hello!”

Mink greeted her very politely.

“Hello, Class Leader, how should I address him?”

Ankajia looked at Mink curiously and asked.

“His name is Mink, he’s my former Class Leader, and we have a very good relationship.”

Su Ming said with a smile as he introduced him.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s introduction, Ankajia immediately looked at Mink with respect and said.

“So he’s Class Leader’s former Class Leader, then you must be very formidable.”

“Uh, I’m not that formidable.”

Mink replied awkwardly.

“Don’t be modest, our Class Leader is also very modest.”

Ankajia didn’t believe a word Mink said.

At this moment, the boss brought over three bowls of noodles and placed them on the small table. The portion of noodles was quite good, and he even added extra minced meat.

“Eat while it’s hot, after we finish eating, we can go shopping together.”

Su Ming said to Mink and the other person.

“Okay!”

Mink and Ankajia immediately lowered their heads and started eating their noodles.

Just then, a young man wearing a casual T-shirt, with red hair and a somewhat high nose bridge, who didn’t look like a Federation citizen, walked over and said to the boss.

“Boss, give me a bowl of noodles too.”

The uncle looked at the man in front of him and immediately said.

“1000 federal currency a bowl!”

The three of them, Su Ming, who were eating, almost choked when they heard the boss’s price, and they turned their heads in disbelief.

The young man’s entire face turned red after hearing the price, but he still held back his anger and asked.

“1000 federal currency, that’s too expensive.”

“Eat it or don’t.”

“No, they only paid 100 federal currency a bowl? Why is mine so expensive?”

“You? Who do you think you are? Why are you comparing yourself to them? They are from the inner planets, who are you people? Do you have identity cards?”

The uncle retorted unceremoniously.

“I…”

“A black household with nothing, daring to argue with me, get out if you’re not eating!”

“I’ll eat.”

The young man finally lowered his head, pulled out a crumpled federal currency bill from his pocket, and handed it to the uncle.

The uncle took it with a look of disdain, then said.

“Wait.”

Su Ming and the other two exchanged glances, then silently lowered their heads to eat.

When they finished eating and were about to leave, the uncle also finished making that bowl of noodles and unceremoniously placed it in front of the man.

Su Ming glanced at that bowl of noodles; there wasn’t even a speck of minced meat on it.

Soon, the three of them left the small stall. After walking a certain distance, Mink sighed and said.

“These refugees are truly beyond miserable.”

“It’s very normal. Their country is gone, so what human rights can you expect? It’s already good enough to just barely survive.”

Ankajia, on the other hand, was very open-minded.

“Some things are beyond our control. We just need to do our best. Don’t think too much. Let’s continue browsing the stalls, there are some really good things here.”

Su Ming said to Mink and the other person.

“Okay!”

Mink didn’t say much more.

Su Ming and the other two then started browsing the stalls one by one, and in a blink of an eye, over three hours passed.

These stalls really sold everything.

Whether it was luxury bags or various gem jewelry, they had it all!

Su Ming and the other two even saw someone selling Type I genetic agents, something that was normally not seen in the Federation.

Don’t let Celes’s previous statement about which company sold them fool you; in fact, those companies only sold to designated clients and generally did not retail or sell to unrelated people.

Su Ming and the other two were also very tempted by that genetic agent, but in the end, they gave up.

After all, this was something to be used on themselves, and who knew if the quality of the agent was good or if it had any flaws?

However, besides that, the three of them also found many good things.

In addition to buying that symbiotic ore, Su Ming also found two other good items: a palm-sized Dragon Incense Wood and a Blue Crystal Gemstone necklace.

Both of these items were very suitable for resale; if brought back to Third Planet, they could fetch a very high price.

“This time it’s truly a great harvest. The things I found today, if I take them back to Third Planet and resell them, I can easily earn four or five million, and I only spent less than three hundred thousand.”

Ankajia was smiling so widely her mouth could barely close.

“Me too, it’s really too cheap. I feel like anything here could be resold back home for a huge profit.”

Mink was also very happy. He wasn’t very well-off to begin with, and if these things could all be brought back to Third Planet, he would definitely make a fortune.

Su Ming listened to Mink’s words and said thoughtfully.

“Mink, give me the things you bought, and give me an address. I’ll mail them to you when I return to Third Planet.”

“Okay, then I’ll trouble you.”

Mink, though very puzzled and not quite understanding why this extra step was necessary, still agreed immediately and handed the items to Su Ming.

“There’s no need to be polite between us.”

Su Ming said to Mink with a smile.

“Hmm, it’s getting late. I should head back to the hotel, otherwise, it’ll be troublesome if the teacher calls roll.”

Mink checked the time on his phone and said to Su Ming with some reluctance.

“Okay, we should be heading back soon too.”

Su Ming, holding the items, bid farewell to Mink.

“Goodbye!”

Mink waved to Su Ming and the other person, then left.

At this moment, Ankajia saw Su Ming holding so many things and said to him.

“Class Leader, wait for me, I’ll go get a cloth bag. We can put all the things inside, otherwise, carrying them is too troublesome.”

“Alright.”

Su Ming agreed approvingly.

Ankajia immediately ran towards a nearby small shop. Not long after, she really came back with a large cloth bag.

The two of them dumped all the items into the bag and then carried the cloth bag towards the nearby subway station entrance.

“Class Leader, shall we continue shopping tomorrow?”

Ankajia said as she walked.

“Hmm, we can call Rhine and them.”

Su Ming replied in agreement.

However, just as they were passing a small alley, Su Ming suddenly stopped and looked inside.

Ankajia also looked in with confusion.

Inside the alley, five young men in floral shirts, looking like hooligans, had blocked Katini and her mother, Hai Lan.

“Where are you going?”

The leader, a young man only 1.6 meters tall, asked with a wicked smile.

“Are you dumb? Didn’t you hear? Our Big Brother Amu is asking you!”

A younger brother next to him, seeing that they didn’t speak, said fiercely.

“What do you want to do? I need to take my mother to see a doctor.”

Katini, though very scared, still mustered her courage and said.

“See a doctor? Do you have money now?”

Amu scrutinized Katini and Hai Lan from head to toe.
