Chapter 187: Chapter 83: Devouring Radioactive Material

Night had fallen, and Gao Xin moved into Kerry’s house and took a delightful shower.

Carefully calculating, he hadn’t bathed in several days.

This time he bathed for an hour, scrubbing off an entire layer of skin.

Even his hair had started to grow back before he finally stopped.

Feeling refreshed, he came out and looked at himself in the mirror, weighing probably around forty kilograms.

At a height of one meter eighty-two, but only weighing forty kilograms, and with the dense muscle of a True Tiger, he looked skeletal.

However, Gao Xin closed his eyes, and upon reopening them, his appearance had changed slightly.

His gaunt face rounded out as if flesh had grown from thin air.

He pinched his face a few times, only to have his hand sink directly into his cheek...

Gao Xin smiled and then put on his full combat suit, making him look less thin and more like a robust youth.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Kerry knocked from outside, "Tai Sui, I’ve brought your dinner."

Gao Xin opened the door to let him in, and Kerry set down a tableful of meal boxes.

Radiations have a huge appetite, especially for regular food, which barely adds any weight.

But for Gao Xin it was different, he possessed Tiger Level digestive microbiomes, enabling him to extract some high-energy proteins.

"Where’s the Radiated beast meat I asked for?"

"Here it is."

Kerry brought out a roasted leg of beef, all forty kilograms of it.

"Here, I’m not overcharging you, four hundred points in total, dinner’s on me."

Gao Xin knew this was a fair price, as the Silver Tower exchanged Radiated wolf beast meat for fifteen points per kilogram!

And Kerry had sourced it from the black market for just ten points per kilogram. This was because Yamaguchi Village itself bred Radiated creatures, significantly lowering costs, partly supplying internally and partly circulating to the village market.

Unless in large quantities, such produce that large forces could self-produce wouldn’t usually be exchanged at the Silver Tower.

Gao Xin ate heartily, finally feeling somewhat satiated.

At that moment, explosive music and the roaring and cheering of a crowd came from downstairs.

"Your place really has poor soundproofing." Gao Xin wiped his mouth and looked out the window.

Kerry’s house was situated above a bar.

Located in the eastern part of Yamaguchi Village, it was quite remote, surrounded by regular steel and concrete buildings.

Further out were shanties inhabited by laboring slaves.

The bar spanned four floors, the first and second glittering with lights and noise, the third held Kerry’s four rental units, and the fourth was the bar owner’s territory.

Kerry laughed, "Haha, eight-thirty sharp, the party starts downstairs every night."

"Make do with it, it’s only three redemption tickets a day, not expensive at all."

"Check out the decor; it’s tasteful, all done by me personally."

Gao Xin handed him four hundred thirty redemption tickets for the meal and ten days’ rent.

"Tai Sui, you’re only staying for ten days?" Kerry seemed disappointed.

Gao Xin smiled, "We’ll extend it gradually."

"Boss, you see, my service is so good, why not stay a few more months?" Kerry rubbed his hands together, looking rather mercenary.

His service was indeed good; as a landlord, he not only delivered meals to Gao Xin but also offered lots of free food runs.

Obviously, he was keen on earning rental money.

Gao Xin chuckled, "You seem pretty free. What, if your rooms aren’t rented out, you focus on serving just me?"

"Cough cough..." Kerry gave an awkward smile, "Renting out one unit gets me ninety points a month, enough for a comfortable life without worrying about food."

Gao Xin remarked, "Didn’t you earn 1800 points from the game this time? Why care about this bit of rent?"

Kerry earnestly said, "I usually only enter the games at the Silver Tower when I run out of money, and up to now, that’s been fine. But this game ended up matching me with you big shots in a high-level game."

"If it weren’t for you, I might not have made it back. I’m probably blacklisted now. For safety, I won’t participate in games anymore."

"Besides, I made eighteen hundred this time, enough for me to live comfortably for a year or two."

Gao Xin curiously asked, "Do you really plan just to idle your days away?"

Kerry shrugged, "What else can I do? I struggled to earn money to buy these four houses, just to avoid a life of conflict and fighting. When I bought them, each cost only two thousand points, and they’ll pay for themselves in two years."

"You spent eight thousand just on buying houses? Wouldn’t those redemption points be better used to enhance your strength?" Gao Xin was puzzled.

Kerry smirked, "Enhance strength? I’m just an N class Radiation, and that’s my limit."

"All that struggling, living miserably, and turning oneself into a wolf king, what’s the point? On this island, we’re still just insects."

"Besides, relentlessly pursuing power often attracts strong enemies and trouble."

"Living like this is good. I have no enemies, collect rent, have food and drink, and sometimes enjoy the bar downstairs."

"Isn’t this little life quite blissful?"

Gao Xin had nothing to say; people had their own aspirations, and life did not necessarily need to be grand or exciting. The Great Spirit needed various life experiences, whether ordinary or not.

He then thought to ask, "What did you do to get locked up here?"

"Ah... Nothing major, just got sentenced five years." Kerry was somewhat reluctant to discuss it.

Gao Xin nonchalantly said, "Was it for theft?"

"..." Kerry froze, puzzled how Gao Xin could guess it right when there were many crimes that could lead to a five-year sentence.

"You... did you know me before?"

Gao Xin smiled, "No, but you weren’t careful with your hands. While I was showering, you stole something from me."
