Chapter 248: Gao Chu

Although the Crystal Cores that Grandma brought out were only Low-level Crystal Cores, Lin Murong still dared not underestimate her.

Who knows, maybe she was concealing her true capabilities.

Such an old lady she was.

She must be very formidable.

Maybe she was playing the fool to catch the wise.

Lin Murong was very sure.

Grandma gave him a look, and with that look, Lin Murong’s soul was shaken, and he became even more certain that she was definitely a big shot.

Once he recognized Grandma as a big shot, Lin Murong became her navigator, helping her exchange Crystal Cores, taking her to the supermarket, advising her on what was worth buying and what was tasty.

When Grandma finally left, Lin Murong even walked her part of the way.

“Galaxy, Grandma is definitely a big shot,” he marveled at her longevity.

He must learn from Grandma.

Although Lin Murong thought he was quite formidable, he could not guarantee that he could live as long as her.

Even in peaceful times, people could die from various accidents.

And in the apocalypse, plagued by natural disasters, it was even more so.

People were dying even faster.

Life was short to begin with, and now it was even shorter.

If Grandma could live so long in the apocalypse, she must possess extraordinary abilities that he needed to learn.

He absolutely must learn.

He also wanted to live a long, long life.

With white hair.

“Mmm, mmm. Big shot, you gotta try harder yourself, become a big shot,” Su Yinhe nodded.

“I am trying, I’m really trying, killing Zombies every day.” But he still hadn’t become a big shot, and yet he was so diligent, still not as formidable as Chi Yan.

Chi Yan just stayed in the supermarket all day, making cakes, dating.

Why was Chi Yan still more formidable?

That’s not scientific.

Really not scientific.

He truly believed in science, but science was proving unworthy of his trust.

Darn it.

Darn it.

“That means you’re not trying hard enough,” Su Yinhe considered for a moment before replying.

Lin Murong: “?? I think you’re that what-me.”

“PUA?”

“Right.”

“No, no, no, I’m spurring you on, telling you, you need to work harder.” Although she was doing PUA, she firmly denied it.

“Really?”

“Really.” Su Yinhe was quite certain.

“Alright then. I’ll try harder.”

PUA successful.

It was so easily done, Su Yinhe hadn’t expected Lin Murong to be so gullible.

“His brain really has always been a bit off.”

Su Yinhe and Chi Yan exchanged glances.

Grandma, holding a bag of stuff, started walking slowly, then increasingly faster, faster, and faster, until she finally broke into a sprint.

Before the apocalypse, Gao Chu was a beauty blogger, but unlike other beauty bloggers who made themselves up prettily,

Gao Chu liked doing various old-age and beggar makeup styles.

But after the apocalypse, she hadn’t done makeup in a long time.

There was no way. Just surviving was hard. Hobbies had to be set aside for the moment.

Just think of how to stay alive.

Gao Chu lived very difficultly, and then not too long ago, while hiding from Zombies, she suddenly found some makeup.

She also found a few wigs.

It had to be said, these wigs were of quite good quality, who knows how long they had been lying there, but they were still usable and not ruined.

These makeup products were definitely expired which, in the past, would mean they couldn’t be used on the face as they would cause damage.

But in the apocalypse, with Zombies smashing faces, who would fear expired makeup?

With these makeup products and wigs, Gao Chu couldn’t resist quickly doing an old-age makeup look. Her hands were a bit rusty, but fortunately, some skills are etched in the bones.

She managed to do a good job.

Who knew, she just casually went out for a stroll, planning to kill some Zombies to get some Crystal Cores. Although Crystal Cores weren’t very useful, couldn’t be exchanged for food, they were shiny and lifted her mood, and then she stumbled upon a supermarket.

A supermarket!

Gao Chu was bold, so she just went in.

But she had disguised herself as a Grandma.

God knows how much her hands had shaken as she dug out the Crystal Core.

Luckily, everything went smoothly.

Some useless Crystal Cores, exchanged for so much food.

After Gao Chu came out, she initially feigned normalcy, walking slowly, afraid someone would follow her.

And discover that she was not really a Grandma and try to steal everything away.

Those few people must be fools; still having a conscience at this time.

She thought they were fools, and felt no guilt deceiving them.

What’s in hand is the real benefit.

But she was afraid they might come and rob her.

After running far, far away, Gao Chu finally stopped, and upon stopping, she just collapsed.

It took a long, long time for her to recover, and when she did, she hugged those items, ecstatic beyond belief.

Resources, resources, so many resources.

She had traded some useless Crystal Cores for so many resources.

Ahhh.

So awesome.

May more of such fools come by the dozen.

Love this.

So many resources.

So many resources.

She wondered if she could still deceive those fools when she returned.

She had made a killing.

She used to not make so much in an entire day.

Maybe…

deceive them again.

They probably hadn’t noticed yet.

Gao Chu was still pretty confident in her makeup skills.

And indeed, Lin Murong and Su Yinhe had not noticed anything amiss.

“After Grandma left,” Lin Murong still reminisced about her.

“She must be a big shot, definitely a big shot.”

“Enough, enough, I know she’s a big shot, you’ve already said that so many times.” Su Yinhe sounded exasperated; Lin Murong had been going on and on near her ear for ages.

Over and over, the same thing; her ears were about to develop calluses.

“Really? I feel like I’ve only said it a few times.” Lin Murong thought he hadn’t said it more than three times, where did this “so many” come from?

“You sure?”

“Sure and certain,” Lin Murong insisted with conviction.

Su Yinhe didn’t bother to argue further and simply played a recording.

Lin Murong: “!!!”

When did she record that!

“You, you, you… why did you record it?”

“Without the recording, how can I prove you’ve repeated it many times?” Su Yinhe asked, expressionless.

“This, this…” Lin Murong was at a loss for words.

“Speak up.”

“This can’t prove anything, you might have edited it!” Lin Murong tried to argue, and in arguing, he persuaded himself.

“Right, you could have just edited the one thing I said into countless other things,” Lin Murong stubbornly persisted.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Amazing.

She felt inferior.

Su Yinhe fell silent.

She could never wake someone who was pretending to sleep. Nor could she ever win an argument against someone stubborn.

What could she do but choose silence?

Silence was tonight’s Cambridge…

“Why aren’t you talking, do you think I’m right?” Lin Murong pushed further.

Su Yinhe now just wanted to smack him, kill him even.

“Right, right, right, you’re right.” If she spoke more, she couldn’t hold herself back from hitting him.

“Then you owe me an apology…”

Before Lin Murong could finish, Su Yinhe hit him.
