Wasteland scavenging, fat girl takes the sick and disabled family away

Chapter 10: Offsetting with Radiation Detectors
Shi Yuebai was holding a sprouted potato in his hand.

When she was about to hand it over, she thought for a moment and then stopped.

Shi Ersao just thought that she was reluctant to give it up, after all, Shi Yuebai used to be very protective of his food.

Anyone who snatches food from Shi Yuebai will make Shi Yuebai very unhappy.

She would lie there and curse non-stop, but the people in the Shi family especially doted on Shi Yuebai.

Even though life was so difficult, they still gritted their teeth and tried their best to make Shi Yuebai feel happier and better.

So no one in the Shi family would snatch food from Shi Yuebai.

Everyone would rather go hungry than tolerate Shi Yuebai.

Shi Ersao was not surprised at all that Shi Yuebai would protect her potatoes.

But in fact, Shi Yuebai took the potato back not because she was reluctant to give up the food she ate from it.

But Shi Yuebai felt that someone was repairing a flatbed cart for her.

But she gave someone a highly radioactive potato, which was a bit shameless.

Although Shi Yuebai often did shabby things when he was in the Witch Clan.

But she is still very principled on this point.

If someone gives her something of high value, she will never take advantage of them for even a small amount of money.

Shi Yuebai held a potato in one hand and covered the potato with his other fat palm.

She closed her eyes, mobilized a little fat energy, and continued to convert it.

A small purification spell appeared on the palm of his hand.

The soul power converted from the energy of fat was used through the purification spell to purify the high radiation in the small sprouting potato.

A few minutes later, Shi Yuebai handed the sprouted potatoes in his hand to Shi Ersao.

"Give it to him."

Shi Ersao was confused and didn't know why Shi Yuebai changed his mind again.

She couldn't figure it out.

But he still did as Shi Yuebai said and took the potatoes to find the strange man in the tarpaulin next door.

At first the weirdo didn't say anything, he just took the potato and was about to wolf it down.

But a rough wristband on his hand suddenly sounded a reminder:
【Detection: 0 radiation contaminated potatoes. 】

An expression of surprise appeared on Second Sister-in-law's face.

I suddenly felt regretful and I didn’t know how to describe it.

The Shi family lived in poverty and could not afford to care about so many things.

Once the food is found, it doesn’t matter whether it has low radiation or medium or high radiation, as long as it is edible.

The Shi family didn't have the money to buy instruments that could detect the radiation levels in food.

Few people outside the city would wear such an instrument.

But I didn't expect that it was right next door to Shi's house.

This weirdo, who no one in the team wants to deal with, actually has an instrument that can detect the radiation level in food.

If the people in the team knew about this, they would have rushed to snatch it away long ago.

The skinny, untidy bearded weirdo paused what he was doing.

His hair was disheveled, like a chicken coop that had been blown apart.

A pair of eyes shined in the hair that hadn't been washed for who knows how long.

He looked at Shi Ersao.

Shi Ersao waved her hand, indicating that she would not take the potato back.

Although she also didn't know why there was a potato with zero radiation among the pile of sprouted potatoes at home.

But since it has already been given away, there is no way to get it back.

Seeing this, the second sister-in-law waved her hand, and the weirdo finally opened his black and yellow teeth with confidence.

He ate the small potato with two crunchy bites.

They ate the skin and the dirt on it.

After eating the little potato, the weirdo smacked his lips, as if he was still savoring the taste of this little potato with zero radiation.

Shi Ersao was standing by and waiting.

After watching the weirdo reminisce, he found some wrenches and wires and quickly fixed the four wheels of the broken flatbed cart.

When the delivery was made, the weirdo turned around.

From his pile of junk parts, he dug out a very rough wristband.

The wristband is tied with ordinary hemp rope, which looks particularly rugged.

But there is a round thing in the middle that looks like an eye.

When the second sister-in-law touched it, her heart began to beat wildly, "This... we don't have money to buy it."

The weirdo gave her a radiation detector.

But it is obviously not the types of radiation detectors sold in the city.

Judging from the workmanship, I'm afraid it was made by some weirdo who found the materials himself.

The weirdo's voice was hoarse.
"You gave me too much. I don't have change."

"Use this to offset it."

It doesn't take a zero-radiation potato to repair a broken flatbed cart.

Any food with zero radiation contamination, even sprouted potatoes, can be sold at sky-high prices in big cities.

A weirdo is also someone who is not willing to take advantage of others.

Shi Ersao nodded and returned to her tarpaulin, pushing a flatbed cart and a radiation detector.

After listening to what Shi Ersao said, Shi Yuebai thought for a moment.
"Go get him two potatoes in a couple of days and ask him if he has any extra radiation detectors."

It was her negligence that caused her to not expect that the weirdo next door was actually quite capable.

He picked up so many spare parts and garbage that everyone thought he was a beggar and a person with mental problems.

No one wants to pay attention to such a person.

But I didn't expect that this kind of person is actually a treasure. He can actually make a radiation detector by himself.

Shi Ersao never expected that her neighbor was actually such a master.

She happily held the radiation detector.

"In the future, when we scavenge for food, we will be able to identify whether it has high, medium or low radiation."

The lower the radiation level of food, the higher its value.

Although Shi Ersao felt very sorry for the potato with zero radiation that she had just given away.

But now that the flatbed cart has been repaired, Shi Yuebai and Shi Yaoyao can be placed on it.

The three of them can go out to scavenge together.

She is blind, but Shi Yaoyao and Shi Yuebai's eyes are fine.

Thinking of this, Shi Ersao quickly touched the pile of small potatoes under the tarpaulin.

She used her newly acquired radiation detector to test the small potatoes one by one.

[Detection: 100% of the potatoes were contaminated by radiation.]

[Detection: 97% of the potatoes were contaminated by radiation.]

[Detection: 50% of the potatoes were contaminated by radiation.]

……

By then, my second sister-in-law had finished testing all the small potatoes and found two with moderate radiation.

She held the two moderately radioactive potatoes, not knowing what to do.

If there was no radiation detector, I would just eat the food as soon as I opened my mouth.

But at that time, my second sister-in-law knew that all these potatoes were highly contaminated with radiation.

There were only two potatoes with radiation levels below 50%.

What should she do with these two radioactive potatoes?
Should I sell the points or eat them myself?
Shi Yuebai saw that she was in trouble.
"Keep it for yourself. I never intended to sell these potatoes for points anyway."

Second Sister-in-law: "This..."

For a family like theirs, isn't it too much of a luxury to eat food with moderate radiation?

　Is there anyone?

　　Oh my god, I'm already exhausted.
