It's not that there aren't similar products at low prices, but the prices of those products are really ridiculously low. Li Kai's eyelids were twitching when he saw them, so he didn't dare to try them easily.
Next, Li Kai picked out a high-powered flashlight, a pair of work shoes, disinfectant alcohol, medical gauze, some vitamins, anti-inflammatory drugs and other things. As for more, there were none. This was all he could think of for now.
I also ordered some food and water. Of course, I didn't take them there, but left them here so I could use them anytime when I came back.
All the items were ready, and Li Kai paid for them all at once, spending a total of more than 1,700 yuan.
"This is really a big hemorrhage."
Li Kai looked at the page showing the successful transaction, his face full of pain. The saying that a poor man has low aspirations is not an empty saying.
If he had enough money, he would have just bought a set of tactical equipment.
Soon a text message from the bank came, showing that the balance was still 360.23 yuan.
"Um!?"
Li Kai was stunned. He remembered that there was still a balance of more than 2,800 yuan last time. How come there is only this little left now?
He clicked on the text messages and found that there were many unread text messages, all of which were information about various deductions, all sent in recent days.
Taking another look at the room, he had just cleaned and thinking of the food bags all over the floor, Li Kai, who had no idea what had happened, suddenly felt his face darken.
Apparently, the missing money was eaten by him during these few days.
"We still have to find a way to make money first." Li Kai took out the gold ring, "Let's find a place to sell it first."
Looking at the gold ring on his hand, he suddenly had an idea!
This thing... should be real, right?

Facts proved that Li Kai was overthinking it. The gold ring was indeed made of pure gold and was not a fake.
"The recycling price is 420 per gram. Your ring weighs 7.3 grams, so the total price is 3066."
The fat boss behind the counter tapped on the calculator and told Li Kai his price.
This is a gold recycling shop.
After discovering that there were only over 300 yuan left in the card, Li Kai took the gold ring and went out, ready to find a place to sell it.
And this store is the third one he has found.
"Okay, deal."
Li Kai nodded without saying anything further.
After visiting several stores, he has a general understanding of the price of gold recycling. Generally speaking, the recycling prices of these stores are not much different, with a fluctuation of a few dollars at most.
Also, there is no problem with the grams measured by this store, it is the same as the previous store.
Since there is no problem with the price and weight, just buy it directly.
"Wait, do you have an invoice?" The fat boss saw that Li Kai agreed so readily, and a sly gleam immediately flashed in his eyes, "If you don't have an invoice, I can only charge you 390 per gram... Hey, wait, don't leave in such a hurry!"
Li Kai left the store without looking back, and ignored the other party's calls.
Are you kidding? That guy clearly wanted to rip him off, so of course he couldn't go back and continue the deal with him.
Since he knew nothing about gold recycling, Li Kai specially checked the relevant information before coming out and knew that whether there was an invoice or not would not affect the price of gold recycling.
Anyone who uses this reason to lower prices is basically a black-hearted profiteer.
After spending another half a day, Li Kai looked for several gold recycling shops again. Finally, he sold the gold ring in one shop at a recycling price of 418 yuan per gram, earning 3051.4 yuan.
For him now, this is already considered a small "huge sum of money".
While taking out the gold ring, Li Kai was not idle. He kept trying to use the ability of his eyes and gained a better understanding of his infrared vision.
At present, turning on infrared vision requires extra energy. This energy seems to be spiritual power. When used for too long, the spiritual power will dry up, resulting in mental fatigue.
After testing, he found that after turning on the infrared vision for 7 to 8 seconds, he would feel mentally exhausted. At this time, he would have to stop using this ability. However, he could turn it on again after resting for more than ten minutes.
Infrared vision has no distance limit, but just like line of sight, the farther the distance, the blurrier it becomes, and it has basically no effect beyond a certain range.
Li Kai also discovered that the perspective of infrared vision is also limited. It can only penetrate thin plasterboard walls, and the effect will be greatly reduced. If it is replaced with concrete walls or thicker brick walls, it will not work at all, even thinner brick walls will not work.
This also reminded him that he should not rely too much on infrared vision, otherwise he would easily suffer losses in this regard when he arrived in the other world.
…
It was past twelve o'clock when he went out, and when Li Kai came back, it was almost five o'clock.
It seemed that his body had become stronger. He usually had dinner after 7 o'clock, but today he felt hungry early.
Li Kai originally planned to have some fried rice just to get by like he did at noon. It was fine when he just finished eating the fried rice, but he hadn't walked far when he smelled the aroma of meat coming from the braised meat shop on the side of the road, and his stomach immediately started growling again.
Unable to bear it any longer, he went and bought two pounds of pork head.
When the owner of the braised meat shop saw that it was him, his eyes immediately became strange, as if he had a very deep impression of Li Kai.
Li Kai could probably guess what was going on, so he could only give the boss an awkward but polite smile, pay the bill, and leave with the pork head.
The place where he rented was a typical urban village, with all kinds of illegal buildings, crowded roads, and poor environmental sanitation. It had countless shortcomings, and its only advantage was that the cost of living was very low.
Just like the house that Li Kai rents, it only costs 800 yuan a month, which is unimaginable in a first-tier city.
When I came downstairs, I heard a lot of noise coming from upstairs before I went upstairs. It was obvious that there were a lot of people gathered there.
Li Kai felt a little strange. He went upstairs to his floor and saw a group of people gathered in the corridor outside, pointing towards the door and talking.
Before he could see clearly, he saw the crowd gathered there suddenly disperse from the middle, and then a burly bald man with a dragon tattoo over his shoulder walked out of the door, surrounded by several strong men.
After a few strong men went out, they went straight downstairs and passed by Li Kai.
Li Kai's gaze kept following them, or rather the bald strong man in the lead, because in his infrared vision, the strong man's body was emitting the same "fire light" as him.
