Cave Refuge-Chapter 171 - 170: This is Also Three Bottles_1

Dong Tianyu turned and walked over to the storage box, pulled out three 200 milliliter bottles of Coke, and handed them to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked incredulously at the Coke in Dong Tianyu’s hand, expressing his doubt, "Is this the Coke you are giving me?"

Regardless of Ye Liuyun’s feelings, Dong Tianyu reaffirmed his statement, "Yes, didn’t we agree on three bottles of Coke? Here they are."

Ye Liuyun looked at the Coke in his hand, and the empty coke bottle on the table, placing one of them next to the empty bottle on the table.

Indignant, he protested, "This is the Coke you are giving me, you’re deceiving the consumer, one should be honest."

Ignoring how enraged Ye Liuyun was, Dong Tianyu calmly asked, "Setting aside the size of the Coke bottle in your hand for now, is it not a bottle of Coke?"

"It is a bottle of Coke, but..."

Before Ye Liuyun could finish, Dong Tianyu cut in, "Since you admit it’s Coke, and I gave you three bottles, then I have fulfilled our agreement."

It finally dawned on Ye Liuyun that Dong Tianyu was right. They only agreed to three bottles of Coke without specifying the size of each bottle.

However, at the time, there was only a 2.5-liter Coke on the table, Ye Liuyun may have assumed that Dong Tianyu only had that particular size, so didn’t insist on specifying the size.

But Ye Liuyun never expected that Dong Tianyu had a smaller packaging size of Coke.

In fact, in Pengcheng, small-sized Cokes are in lower supply than large-sized ones.

The reason is simple. The soda drink, once opened, gradually loses its carbon dioxide, which makes it less appealing.

Apart from that, the main reason is that survivors, who come across the large bottle of Coke, usually think about how to trade it, while those who receive the small bottles reckon the small bottles worth little, and prefer to drink it instead.

Because of these prevailing attitudes, there’s a smaller supply of small bottled drinks in Pengcheng, with more large sized ones circulating in trading.

However, Ye Liuyun didn’t care about the scarcity of small-sized bottles, he didn’t intend to trade what he got, but wanted to keep them for his enjoyment. Therefore, he didn’t care about the price but the quantity.

But at this point, Dong Tianyu did indeed provide the three bottles of Coke they agreed, fulfilling the initial agreement. So all Ye Liuyun could do was stare at Dong Tianyu with disparaging eyes.

Dong Tianyu, feeling uncomfortable under Ye Liuyun’s insistence, gave a helpless sigh and then irritably said, "I really can’t stand you. I’ll give you one more large bottle. That’s the last one, take it or leave it."

Seeing Dong Tianyu take out a large bottle of Coke from the storage box, Ye Liuyun immediately snatched it from him, "Satisfied, very satisfied."

They both know that Ye Liuyun is not in shortage of Coke, he can’t drink Coke as extravagantly as Dong Tianyu who bathes with drinks, but he can afford a bottle every now and then.

Remember when the flood submerged Pengcheng, many shop owners, in an attempt to recoup their losses, cooperated with salvage teams to reveal the location of their warehouses.

Other stuff may get spoiled in the water, but drinks like soda, as long as the plastic bottle is intact, the drink inside will remain unspoiled.

Although many people started drinking more liberally when the flood receded and stocks were running low, some drinks were not consumed by the survivors, hence there are still some drinks left, often seen in their trades.

After sending away Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu collect the garbage on the table into the Shadow Space, and then transport them to the trash pit in his cave mansion through the space, for decomposing and converting into raw materials to fill his cave mansion.

After tidying up the tent, Dong Tianyu sat down to plan his upcoming trip.

He would spend the afternoon chatting with his parents, have dinner in the evening and then return. If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, he should go to Peach Blossom Paradise to see if there are suitable individuals he could bring back to the Wave Rider.

Speaking of Wave Rider, Dong Tianyu began to consider the vehicle he would need for tomorrow’s trip.

The external temperature is becoming increasingly hot, and ordinary people simply can’t stay outdoors for a long time, normal vehicles can’t operate anymore.

Pengcheng is also researching on vehicles that can travel for long hours outside, but unlike during the Cold Catastrophe, where you could raise the temperature inside the vehicle with a heating system.

But with the current hot weather, trying to cool down with the traditional vehicle air conditioning system is not practical, and simply using blocks of ice for cooling lacks sustainability. So, now there are no longer any vehicles operating normally on the road.

If it was just for Dong Tianyu himself it wouldn’t matter, not to mention his own temperature-regulating Magic Artifact, the fact that after reaching the Foundation Building Stage allows one to be immune to cold and heat.

But the purpose of his trip is to bring back people, so to bring them back in one piece, he has to have a vehicle that can be used properly outdoors.

Dong Tianyu didn’t have any particular requirements for the vehicle’s exterior, but opting for the modification of a common car or an off-road vehicle wouldn’t be quite right.

So, Dong Tianyu started cleaning the containers he retrieved from Pengville Port, keeping the useful ones and decomposing the rest in the cave mansion.

For some reason, Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson didn’t return home that afternoon. Dong Tianyu also managed to sort out a third of the containers in his Shadow Space.

However, perhaps due to the fixed size of the containers, Dong Tianyu didn’t find a suitable vehicle among the containers he had cleaned, let alone any large vehicles. However, he did find several well-packed sports cars...

Since he hadn’t found a suitable vehicle, he had to modify one himself.

After some thought, Dong Tianyu decided to use a truck as the base and then transform it into a Magic Artifact.

Although transforming it into a Mo-style mechanical vehicle would require fewer survival points and all could use it.

But for this reason, Dong Tianyu didn’t want to convert it into a Mo-style mechanical vehicle, but instead into a regular Magic Artifact.

While other cultivators with Divine Sense could also use the ordinary Magic Artifact, for now, Dong Tianyu was probably the only Foundation Building Stage cultivator in Pengcheng.
