I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 249 Exchanging Integrity Points

249 Exchanging Integrity Points

Du Yue nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.” He Xing turned around and entered a restaurant. The two of them usually had a tacit understanding. He Xing would be the one to handle matters that required dealing with people. After He Xing entered the restaurant, Du Yue did not idle around either. She began to observe the situation around her.

At first glance, the luxury and liveliness of the place stunned Du Yue. At that moment, she really thought that she had traveled back in time to before the apocalypse. However, now that she had calmed down and was observing carefully, she realized that many details were different from before the apocalypse.

It was normal. A fake was a fake. No matter how hard the person behind the scenes tried to create such an illusion, it would still be very different from the real thing. As Du Yue was thinking about this, she suddenly saw a few people stepping out of the elevator. A few young men and women came down. They were dressed exquisitely, especially the girls. They wore skirts that reached their thighs, revealing their smooth and white calves. They were also wearing leather shoes that were obviously of good quality.

All of them had smiles on their faces, and they chatted from time to time. After that, they all laughed. It was obvious that they had come out to shop together. Du Yue only took a glance before looking away. Looking at their wanton enjoyment unconsciously reminded her of the poor people in the outer city selling women in exchange for food. She was powerless, but she still felt a little sad.

Du Yue did not expect this group of people to come straight for her after they got off the elevator. One of the men walked up to Du Yue and looked her up and down. His gaze was plain and straightforward. “You just moved to the inner city, right?”

Du Yue looked up at him, not intending to answer.

The man curled his lips as if he did not mind Du Yue’s coldness. “You’ve been sitting here for quite a long time. Do you not have enough integrity points to buy food? Seeing that you’re quite pretty, I’ll give you a suggestion. The celestial lord is choosing his wife now. You’ll be provided with all your food and lodging during the selection. If you’re lucky enough to be chosen, you won’t have to worry about food and water anymore, and you’ll become one of the most distinguished women in the inner city.”

Du Yue could not help frowning at the man’s words. What was wrong with the people here? Why were they asking her to partic.i.p.ate in the selection the moment they saw her? She was a little displeased and puzzled. Du Yue did not hide her thoughts and asked directly, “We don’t know each other. Why are you telling me all this?”

When the man heard Du Yue open his mouth, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. “Yes, even your voice is top-notch. If you join the selection, the t.i.tle will be yours to take. As for what you asked, why should I tell you that? Well, let me tell you frankly. If I recommend you to go for the selection and you’re lucky enough to be selected, then I’ll also get a recommendation reward.”

Du Yue’s doubts were finally answered when she heard this. No wonder the few people she had met after she arrived were all like pimps, recommending her to partic.i.p.ate in the selection as soon as they saw her. It turned out to be for this. “Have you thought about it? Do you want to partic.i.p.ate in the selection?” the man asked again.

Du Yue shook her head firmly. “I won’t partic.i.p.ate in it.”

The man did not expect Du Yue to reject him so directly. He was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted. “Did you just come here, so you don’t know the celestial lord? I’m telling you, the celestial lord is the most distinguished person in our base…”

“No need to say more. I know him, but I won’t join the selection.” Du Yue’s rejection was thorough, and her tone was a little cold.

The man originally wanted to persuade her again, but when he saw her cold eyes, he finally swallowed his words and did not say anything more. Although it was a pity as he felt that this woman would definitely be chosen as long as she joined the selection, he knew he could not force her to go over if she was unwilling.

The man turned around and left with his friends. Du Yue fell into deep thought as she watched them leave. She was getting more and more curious about that celestial lord. He already had three wives, yet he wanted to choose a fourth one. He even caused such a huge commotion, and everyone knew about it. What kind of recommendation reward was it? Did he really think he was the emperor?

Du Yue was still lost in her thoughts when she heard familiar footsteps approaching her. She looked up and saw He Xing walking out of the restaurant.

“Did you find out anything?” Du Yue asked him.

He Xing waved the resident card at Du Yue and said with a smile, “It’s all done. I have 2,000 integrity points now.”
