Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

Su Yuyang shrugged helplessly, his eyes showing no sign of panic, and casually replied to smooth things over.

"An unexpected incident occurred last night. I lost some things after a social engagement, and there's really nothing I can do about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually raised his hand and twirled the pinhole miniature camera he had removed from the hotel room between his fingers, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The shop assistant caught a glimpse of the miniature camera, instantly understood, and still wore a troubled expression, shaking his head slightly as if to decline.

"Accepting money privately is extremely risky and very difficult to do; it's easy to get into trouble."

Su Yuyang had anticipated this, and calmly added a sentence.

"We're all people who've left home to make a living, so I hope you can help me out, so we can get along better in the future."

He specifically chose this type of small to medium-sized private gold shop, rather than a large chain gold store on the street, because he valued its flexible rules and the ability to make private adjustments.

The shop assistant's eyes flickered slightly. He looked up and scrutinized Su Yuyang for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice to quote a price.

"I'll settle the price with you at today's highest real-time price, 2940 Thai Baht per gram. No haggling or overcharging. Is that acceptable?"

That suited him perfectly. Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yuyang readily nodded in agreement.

"Okay, no problem."

He had no time to worry about the slight price difference; his priority was to quickly convert his money into cash, buy supplies, and prepare to return to the wasteland as soon as possible.

Without saying another word, the shop assistant quickly took out professional gold testing reagents and a high-precision electronic scale, and conducted the verification process in person.

Once everything was finished, the shop assistant looked up at Su Yuyang, his expression returning to its usual serious, businesslike demeanor.

"The rules cannot be broken. Show your ID card and passport, register your personal information on the spot, and leave your address. The store needs to keep a record of this to avoid future risks."

Su Yuyang quickly calculated the conversion in his mind. Three hundred and fifty grams of gold was not a small amount. He secretly planned the expenses for purchasing supplies later.

Seeing that he paused slightly, the shop assistant tapped the counter table lightly with her fingertips, urging him in a low voice without making a sound, her eyes subtly scrutinizing him.

When you're out and about and want to cash in gold, you won't be unable to produce valid identification.

Su Yuyang snapped out of his daze and, without the slightest hesitation, calmly took out a fake passport from the inner pocket of his backpack and laid it flat on the counter.

This swift action completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in the shop assistant's heart, and the expression on his face instantly softened.

The shop assistant turned and quickly walked into the back of the shop, opened a hidden safe, and returned a moment later, carrying bundles of brand-new Thai baht banknotes.

In front of Su Yuyang, he checked the money three times with a money detector, then put it all into a thick, black, sealed plastic bag and gently pushed it in front of Su Yuyang.

"Please count and verify the amount in person. We are not responsible once you leave the counter."

Su Yuyang glanced at the banknotes, but without touching or counting them, he asked directly.

"No need to order, just convert it to the equivalent in US dollars. It'll be convenient to carry while traveling."

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant hesitated for a moment, stared intently at Su Yuyang for a long time, and after weighing the pros and cons, finally nodded in agreement.

"After deducting a small handling fee, the total is US$27,440, which will be settled on the spot."

"Can."

Su Yuyang was fairly satisfied and didn't want to waste any more time or words.

A few minutes later, he had all the US dollars in cash. He neatly folded them and tucked them into the waterproof lining of his backpack.

He then nodded slightly to the shop assistant in thanks, turned around, and strode out of the jewelry store.

The glass doors of the jewelry store slowly closed, shutting out the noise and bustle of the street outside.

The shop assistant behind the counter dropped her polite smile and stared intently at Su Yuyang's tall, receding figure. A sinister glint flashed in her eyes, and she chuckled inwardly.

He appears calm and collected, but in reality, he's just a naive newbie who's never seen the world.

A burly, dark figure silently approached the side of the counter. The newcomer had a broad face and square jaw, and his small, triangular eyes revealed shrewdness.

He quickly glanced around the store to make sure everything was alright, then lowered his hoarse voice.

"This lucrative order has come knocking; should we seize the opportunity?"

The shop assistant didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone carrying a blunt warning.

"If you're tired of living, go ahead and touch him alone."

The burly man subconsciously frowned, his face full of defiant arrogance, and he argued in a low voice.

"A domestic newbie, carrying cash and completely unsuspecting, what's there to be afraid of as long as the job is done cleanly and efficiently?"

The shop assistant was too lazy to say anything more, so he just waved his hand dismissively, his expression perfunctory and indifferent, and simply ignored it.

"Do whatever you want, go if you want. But let me make this clear: if you run into a tough customer and suffer a setback, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself. Don't try to blame me or the shop in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately perked up, his eyes gleaming with greed, and turned to leave.

Before long, he called over two of his underlings, and the three of them, using the crowds and shadows of the shops on the street as cover, hung behind Su Yuyang at a distance.

On the other side, Su Yuyang went straight into a convenience store along the street to purchase various survival supplies.

After visiting each store, he would immediately find a blind spot in the surveillance cameras at a corner of an alley, and when no one was paying attention, he would quickly put the boxes of bottled water and the neatly packaged compressed dry food into the system's virtual warehouse.

After visiting several convenience stores and small shops, and spending more than two hours, 1,250 bottles of sealed mineral water and 1,000 packs of high-filling, long-lasting compressed dry food were all stored in the system's virtual warehouse.

With the supplies secured, Su Yuyang didn't linger and quickly turned into a quiet, secluded alley.

He focused his mind and silently recited the command: "System, immediately return to the wasteland world."

The multicolored black light completely engulfed Su Yuyang, and the next second, the spot where he stood was empty.

Almost at the same instant his figure completely disappeared, three dark figures rushed in from the outside of the alley entrance. It was the square-faced, burly man and his two henchmen.

The three men followed closely, keeping a close watch on him, eager to find the right opportunity to intercept him and steal the US dollars from Su Yuyang.

But when the three of them rushed to the alley entrance and looked around, the entire quiet alley was empty, without a single person in sight.

Looking around in all directions, there was no trace of Su Yuyang.

The burly man froze on the spot, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief, and he couldn't help but roar in a low voice in fury.

"Where did they go? They were just in this alley, only a few steps away, how could they have vanished into thin air?!"

The two underlings looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and panic.

The burly man stood frozen in place, increasingly alarmed by what he saw, a tremor running through his heart as he pondered.

"Could it be that we've really run into a brick wall this time? Let's go, let's get out of here! We can't stay here, it'll cause trouble!"
