Mobile Shelter

Chapter 91 Folding the Fold Again

After Shao Kai explained again, although some of the others still had some ideas about Dong Qi's car, they suppressed their thoughts after learning that the car had been bound to Dong Qi's superpower and was completely under his control.

After the vehicle entered Kyoto city, Dong Qi first saw off everyone else in the car, in order of distance. Once only he and Shao Kai remained in the car, Shao Kai then extended an invitation:

"At this time of year, hotels and such are probably all closed, so it's quite difficult for you to find a place to stay. Why don't you come stay at my place for a few days?"

After thinking for a moment, Dong Qi declined Shao Kai's invitation, saying, "Forget it. It's not very convenient to stay at your house right now. Anyway, the interior space has been expanded quite a bit. I'm going to get some furniture and do some simple renovations to the interior."

For the next few days, we can drive wherever we want, do whatever we want, and when we get tired, we can just find a place to park and rest.

After hearing Dong Qi say this, Shao Kai thought for a moment and then continued, "Now the paper money in Kyoto can be used normally."

You probably don't have much money on you, so you should come back with me first.

I'll get you some cash when I get home. Having some cash on hand will make your trip more enjoyable over the next few days.

At this moment, Dong Qi didn't have much cash on hand. Before EMP appeared, Dong Qi usually paid for things with his mobile phone. Although he carried a wallet with him, it was full of ID cards and a few yuan as a deposit.

Seeing that Dong Qi did not refuse, Shao Kai directly instructed Dong Qi to drive to his house.

Shao Kai lives in a villa area outside the fourth ring road of Kyoto. After driving the car into the yard, Shao Kai took out the key from under the flower pot in front of the door.

Led by Shao Kai, Dong Qi entered the living room. Although the power was out, Shao Kai still took a bottle of cola from the freezer and tossed it to Dong Qi.

"This is all that's left at home. I don't know if you like it, but I've been away on missions for a while and I really miss it."

After saying that, Shao Kai unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the entire bottle of cola in one gulp. Then, after letting out a loud burp, he grabbed another bottle and drank it all.

Shao Kai then left the living room, not keeping Dong Qi waiting for long. He took out a small backpack and tossed it to Dong Qi's side.

"I heard you're planning to buy some furniture. This is all the money we have left. Take it and use it for now. If it's not enough, come back to me."

Upon hearing Shao Kai's words, Dong Qi casually opened his backpack, expecting it to be filled with small amounts of money, only to find it brimming with bright red hundred-yuan bills.

Dong Qi quickly refused, saying, "Why did you prepare so much money for me? I only need to buy two dozen; I don't need that much. You can keep the rest."

Now that the money had already been handed over, Shao Kai certainly wouldn't take it back. So, upon hearing Dong Qi's refusal, he immediately said:

"Given our life-or-death relationship, if it weren't for EMP, I could easily come up with at least a few million.

Since we usually use mobile payments, we only have this little bit of cash left at home. You can take it and use it first.

Furthermore, at this point, to put it bluntly, while you still have cash, use it up quickly, just in case...

Forget it, talking about this is bad luck.

Don't be stingy with the flowers. If you feel indebted, consider it as me prepaying for the next fare. If you encounter danger in the future, don't forget to take me with you when you escape.

Oh, speaking of which, something came to mind.

"Come on, come on, come on, I'll take you somewhere now."

Then Shao Kai picked up the small backpack containing money that he had just thrown next to Dong Qi, and then pulled Dong Qi away.

The two got into the car and left the villa area. Guided by Shao Kai, they arrived at a market.

As soon as the car arrived at the market gate, it was stopped by the security guard. Shao Kai then rolled down the window and said to the guard, "Let's go in and buy something."

He then gestured to the security guard, who, upon seeing Shao Kai's gesture, took out a notebook to register Dong Qi's license plate number before opening the door to let him in.

"This place was originally an internal market for military families to supply their families. It sold a wide variety of goods, and the prices were relatively cheap because they were all sold at the purchase price plus a 20% management fee."

However, each family has a standard upper limit on its monthly purchasing quota based on the military rank of its family members. Of course, this quota can be accumulated, but only for a maximum of one year.

The computers here are probably down now, so it's unclear how the original quotas were recorded.

"Never mind that for now. I can only use my own quota. I haven't used it much this year, so I don't know what I can still buy now."

After the two got out of the car in the parking lot, Shao Kai noticed that Dong Qi scanned the few cars scattered around in the parking lot with his eyes.

He then explained directly, "Vehicles are not allowed to stay overnight here, so these cars in the parking lot must have been driven here by other people."

Shao Kai then led Dong Qi to a small building next to the market, asking Dong Qi to wait there while he went inside to complete the purchasing procedures.

It only took Shao Kai about ten minutes to get inside, and then he came out of the building with a happy expression on his face.

After Shao Kai walked up to Dong Qi, he whispered with a smile to Dong Qi, "This is great! Originally, we had to pay to buy the quota coupons used inside, but now, because the computer is not working, we only need to register to get the coupons directly."

And I never expected that my dad would set aside one-fifth of his monthly quota for me. Adding that to my original quota, it's quite a sum.

After saying that, Shao Kai took out a thick stack of long strips of paper from his pocket: "Let's go inside and make a purchase. Today's expenses will be paid by Young Master Shao."

Despite his wealthy and powerful demeanor, once inside the market, Shao Kai didn't linger in the fruit and fresh vegetable section but went straight for his target.

The two went directly to a secluded area inside the food market. As they walked, Shao Kai explained, "The shops that sell long-lasting foods are all in this area. Originally, almost no one bought these things, so the shops are located in a relatively remote area."

"Uncle Wang, open for business! I've brought you a big deal this time, so you'd better give me an extra discount."

Perhaps hearing Shao Kai's call, a middle-aged man came out of the store and immediately said with a laugh, "You brat, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You just got back from a mission, so you want an extra discount, huh?"

How about I give you a 20% or 30% discount?
