I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 931 - 1020: What Is This Desert Rose Thing?
Meanwhile, Jing Shu was searching for more valuable things in this huge warehouse.
It must be said, this warehouse is really huge, but it’s not like the Huaxia people with that obsessive-compulsive disorder who must classify everything neatly.
It’s a mishmash, quite like the comparison between India’s mess of cables and movable wires, looking like a tangled ball of yarn, but somehow, they know exactly where everything goes. It’s pretty much the same concept.
Very soon, Jing Shu found a pile of strange things, and she pulled Yang Yang and Old Zhou over, saying, "Look, what is this stuff?"
Supposedly, someone like Jing Shu, who has lived for two lifetimes, can recognize anything, but with this stuff, she’s completely clueless.
"You say it looks like a diamond, but how could diamonds pile up like a mountain of trash? And whose diamonds are small crystals bigger than sand?"
Old Zhou looked at it, "Looks like glass shards? Who would be bored enough to pile glass shards here? It doesn’t feel like glass shards either, they’re quite pleasant to touch."
Jing Shu grabbed a handful, if it wasn’t for the fact that it had no energy, she would have suspected this was Energy Crystal.
"If it were trash, it wouldn’t be placed in this big warehouse." Jing Shu said.
Yang Yang sighed and said, "You see, you two elders, coming out without doing your homework. Before we came to the Middle East, weren’t you given a Middle East guidebook?"
Ahem!
Jing Shu thought carefully, there seemed to be such a thing, but it was as thick as a dictionary, who would read that? There were so many things in it, why bother, just take what you can.
Old Zhou touched his nose, he barely has time to play chess with the old folks every day, and at his age, reading makes him sleepy and gives him a headache. Isn’t that why there are young people, why should he look?
Yang Yang said, "This is a specialty from this side of the Middle East, called Desert Rose, buried under the sand, it grows by itself, similar to a biological but not biological, crystalline but not crystalline sand derivative, but a very precious item."
The two nodded after hearing that, turns out it’s something precious.
Jing Shu asked a soul-searching question: "So, where exactly is the value in this? Can it be eaten or used?"
Old Zhou nodded too, in the apocalypse, things that can’t be eaten or used are not precious.
Yang Yang sighed, Jing Shu, really, and said:
"Before the apocalypse, it was rare and precious, and one pound could reach tens of thousands of US Dollars. But even after the apocalypse, perhaps due to Dark Energy, its quantity has increased significantly.
But they are very useful too, they can absorb all kinds of dust and trash, better than laundry detergent, just one or two pieces, leave them in water for an hour, and the clothes get clean. The key is, it not only doesn’t diminish, but when placed in sand, it can slowly grow bigger, and after differentiation, can be used as two.
Of course, I’ve heard that the upper echelons of the Middle East are further exploring its other values."
"Laundry detergent?"
"The more you use, the more you have???"
"And it’s super clean?"
Jing Shu’s eyes lit up, almost turning into little stars, this thing is great, she grabbed a small handful of crystals and looked at the mountain of Desert Roses and said: "Old Zhou, if we take this back home, and sell a small piece for 10 Virtual Coins, that’s not too much, right? This can always be used as laundry detergent, and it won’t run out, the key is it keeps growing."
Old Zhou’s eyes lit up too: "These are all good things, we don’t want those rare and expensive items, what we lack is to get some good welfare for ordinary people, get something they can use too, 10 Virtual Coins are too expensive, I think 2 Virtual Coins is just right.
Let’s take them all back home and find a way to see if we can cultivate more crystals so that everyone can use this good thing, that counts as a good deed."
Jing Shu gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, even at 2 Virtual Coins, with this pile of crystals, that’s still a lot of money, later I’ll research, see if I can speed up their growth and differentiation process."
Old Zhou nodded: "Sure, I’ll leave it to you, Miss Jing."
All three were in high spirits.
Especially Jing Shu.
Why? Because she can almost be certain now, why was this thing so scarce before the apocalypse, and why did it suddenly multiply after the apocalypse?
There can only be one truth!
That is, it must be related to Dark Energy, if even a tiny bit of Dark Energy can massively catalyze these crystals, then this would indeed be a good thing.
There are thousands of granules in this handful that Jing Shu grabbed, imagine if mass catalyzed, how much would there be, and considering how many people are there in the country, wouldn’t every household need some of this?
Even if it’s not expensive, you can’t really sell them a few at a time, right?
You’d have to sell 10 with a bonus 1, even though it’s said it never runs out, but this stuff is so small it’s easy to lose, lose one today, lose another tomorrow, within a month or two, it’ll be gone again, and more has to be bought, right?
So, this is a long-term consumable daily necessity, the price may be low, but it’s a steady long-term profit, that’s a slow and steady business.
So Jing Shu planned to research it, and then take over this business.
The insects are not suitable for transporting such small granules, so Jing Shu entrusted this Desert Rose, all money, for Hulk to transport, watching as Hulk shipped all the pretty little crystals away, Jing Shu couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.
As an all-around King Hulk, the advantage is being all-purpose, the disadvantage is being too few in number, it’s a real pity.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The entire underground warehouse began to shake.
Yang Yang listened to the voice on the walkie-talkie, the Bodyguard Team’s abilities were too strong, they completely slaughtered the enemy above, leaving them rolling on the ground, so the other side decided to use big destructive weapons, indiscriminately bombing this side.
Yang Yang said: "I don’t know how long we can hold out here, but I think it’s about time, grab what’s important and take what we can, whatever we can’t take, forget it, we should be retreating soon. Their main force has already returned from the dock, if we don’t leave now, we might get surrounded."
Jing Shu nodded: "Then let’s wait until the main force from the dock comes, we’ll all retreat, create a diversion, and when we get back to the dock, we can make another plunder."
Yang Yang revealed a knowingly smile, just as expected from you, Jing Shu!
Old Zhou leisurely strolled around the underground warehouse, hey, this is the most relaxed he’s felt as a leader in years, does nothing, subordinates do it all, and if he had such a competent team earlier, his reputation wouldn’t have become so notorious. Sounds complicated, doesn’t it?
