Chapter 571: Chapter 570: I’ll Buy You Sobriety with 2 Peanuts

Shu Ran thought about it, they hadn’t done anything wrong, and didn’t have anything on them, so they weren’t afraid of being targeted.

So when they were discovered, they stopped and stood below the stairwell, looking up at the two people leaning on the railing.

She habitually flicked her hair, responding to the question amidst the awkwardness.

"Just wanted to see if this apartment building is as mysterious as Guan Yu said."

Mu Qiu leisurely leaned on the railing and said slowly, "Then why did you take off before you even had a look?"

"... Suddenly felt it wasn’t necessary. What’s that on your back?"

The stairwell window was open, the light was too strong. Han Xizheng squinted at it and said, "Metal detector?"

Shu Ran’s eyes widened: "You took the program group’s metal detector? Did the program group agree? What are you doing with that?"

A series of questions asked rapidly and urgently.

Mu Qiu remained leisurely, waving her hand: "Hey, why so serious? Come on, come up a bit, let’s have a friendly exchange."

Shu Ran not only didn’t go up but also blocked Han Xizheng and took two steps back.

"Don’t try that. Tell me, what are you doing with that? Is there metal you need to find?"

It’s actually easy to think of, they only needed to find two things, food and drinks, and the mysterious document card.

So Shu Ran thought for two seconds, then answered her own question: "Is the document card a metal one?"

Mu Qiu snapped her fingers, leaning on the railing, laughing crisply:

"You guessed right. Sister Shu Ran, we’ve provided you with such important information, shouldn’t you thank us?"

Shu Ran also smiled at her, then vividly demonstrated what it means to turn hostile.

"I figured it out myself, what’s it got to do with you? Goodbye."

After saying that, she wanted to leave.

"Don’t move." Mu Qiu tapped the railing with the metal detector, creating a dull thud that startled Shu Ran.

The two of them walked down, taking big strides while struggling to hold up the metal detector, trying to make it look like a folding fan, tapping it lightly on the palm of the other hand.

"Come on, raise your hands, let us scan you."

"..." Scan my ass.

However, no matter how much they didn’t want to cooperate, they were still cornered by the two female ’robbers’, raising their hands to accept the inspection.

Mu Qiu waved the detector back and forth around Shu Ran, and Zhao Yu politely greeted Han Xizheng, scanning him from both sides politely.

Without exception, the detector beeped incessantly.

"Hand it over." Mu Qiu turned her palms upwards towards Shu Ran.

Shu Ran: "??? Hand over what?"

"Hand over the metal objects. Didn’t you hear the detector? It’s beeping so much it’s about to go mute?"

"... Are you crazy!? That’s the metal on my clothes!"

"How do I know if it’s on your clothes or if you’re hiding something?"

"Do you want me to strip?"

Mu Qiu paused: "Do we really need such an intense method? Just turn out your pockets for me to take a look."

Shu Ran, maybe with a momentary lapse in judgment, actually flipped her pockets inside out for her, revealing nothing but a pack of wet wipes.

As someone with ’substantial means’, Mu Qiu didn’t really care about the pack of wet wipes, so she let it go generously and turned her focus to Han Xizheng.

As she moved the detector over, Han Xizheng cooperatively raised his hands on the wall, a complete ’at your disposal’ stance.

"Where’s he beeping?"

Zhao Yu, observing calmly, honestly replied, "It’s the belt."

"..." Oh boy, this isn’t very conducive to continuing the act.

Han Xizheng innocently asked, "Are you going to take my belt? Please don’t, okay?"

Mu Qiu coughed once: "Our program is always positive, conveying positive energy, don’t tarnish its reputation. Besides, could that even be aired? It can’t be aired, so why strip a belt?

But given that you’ve beeped, could you please turn out your pockets for us to take a look?"

Han Xizheng laughed, "Why should I comply? Trade some information?"

Mu Qiu turned and left with Zhao Yu.

"Let’s not meet again in this world."

"Hey, don’t be like that," Han Xizheng chased after them, "let’s share some information, we’ll give you two wet wipes?"

"... Everyone’s really getting into the act, since when did two wet wipes become bargaining chips?"

This style is just too post-apocalyptic.

After saying that, she paused for two more seconds and dug out two peanuts from the first pocket.

"How about this, I’ll buy your sobriety with two peanuts."

Zhao Yu burst into laughter.

[Hahahahaha I’m gonna die from laughing at Mu Qiu sooner or later]

[So your peanuts aren’t for survival, they’re for gifting]

[No, those painstakingly selected red-skinned peanuts, you can’t just give them away]

[I was still hoping Han Xizheng would get his belt taken away, what’s wrong with me]

[The program team will now have to strictly guard the equipment room, just to prevent Mu Qiu hahahaha]

[This is like some post-apocalyptic off-road style]

[Dear ladies, please remember to always pull your pants up]

[Hahahahahahahaha oh dear]

[Mu Qiu: You think two wet wipes are all it takes to talk with me? Dream on]

[Definitely a rich kid]

[Drinking two peanuts, just like that? Two peanuts, hahahaha]

[As expected of friends, Zhao Yu and Mu Qiu, cut from the same cloth, even thought about stealing the program group’s props]

[It’s over, they’ve added another method of cheating from now on]

[So what do these document cards actually look like, can someone find one and let us see?]

[As for that bottle of water? It’s treasure! Better keep it hidden!]

[Han Xizheng’s smile is going to crack hahahaha]

[Why is it anyone around them turns out so funny hhhhhh]

For a moment, the entire hallway was filled with laughter.

Zhao Yu’s, Shu Ran’s, and even the photographer’s, all mixed together, even making Han Xizheng involuntarily laugh along.

Mu Qiu, on the other hand, was able to keep a straight face, tucking the two peanuts back into her pocket.

She had given them a chance, it was their fault for not seizing it. Not realizing the value of peanuts in the post-apocalyptic world, far greater than any two wet wipes.

Moreover, a little foresight suggests that anyone with a brain could guess that she definitely had other things in her pocket.

Let’s hope these two don’t lose their minds for the time being.

Pocketing the peanuts, she pulled Zhao Yu along and proceeded according to their original plan, entering the door across the hall.

Once inside, they began their thorough search: under the bed, on top of the bed, inside the sofa crevices, even inside the bedside lamp, under the kitchen stove, every drawer in the fridge, even lifting the toilet seat for a look.

While they didn’t find any suspicious cards, Zhao Yu did discover a pack of dried seaweed in the kitchen and checked the expiration date meticulously.

"Not expired, we can take it."

Mu Qiu silently took it, feeling a pang of bitterness inside, yet she said, "Let’s find a backpack first, so we can stash all these ’escaped fish’."
