'Leave it for now. Do not interfere with the power supply until we found a new place to begin our operation. Are there any changes to the digital currency's value?' Zhang Qin Feng decided to play it safe for now.
But then, something came across his mind.
"Yufei, have you heard about Digital Currency before?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"Digital currency? Which one?" she asked. Her reaction was a surprise to Zhang Qin Feng as she seems to know a thing or two about it.
"WIFE-Coin." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Did you buy that just to make me happy, or you're interested as to invest in it? I remembered that they're not doing too great as stated in the Business Magazine."
"If you're investing, you should consider the BEAST-Coin, S-Coin, or ELF-Coin. These three are the top buys right now in the digital currency market. I heard from sister Ruo-Lan that our financial advising firm is highly promoting them too."
Her reply was totally unexpected to Zhang Qin Feng.
To his surprise, it seems that she's not only knowledgeable in her trade as a restaurateur but also in financial investment. Of course, the most surprising part is still about the so-called Financial Advising Firm under the Wang Family's name.
"I'm interested. But what I'm doing weren't buying and selling, but keeping the coins in hand until their value appreciates. I'm talking about mining them." Zhang Qin Feng said. He wasn't sure if the way he talks about this is accurate. Because, from the look of it, Wang Yufei seems to be more experienced than he does.
"It's not easy to become a miner… But if you like it…" Wang Yufei looked into Zhang Qin Feng's eyes. She's thinking if she should speak about what is in her mind.
"Do… Do you have anything you want to say first?" she hesitated. Afraid that her words would hurt Zhang Qin Feng's feelings, she decided to keep her words from going out. After all, it is easy for one to take money out from their pocket, but making more from them is hard.
"I am confident that I can do that. Do you think you can help me to find a place to set up my mining workshop? I have some savings with me, so it should be enough to work something out." said Zhang Qin Feng.
"I'll ask around. All you need is a spacious location and have an efficient electrical supply, correct?" Wang Yufei smiled and gave him a look full of a supportive vibe.
"Yes. As long that problem is solved, I'll manage." Zhang Qin Feng nodded. Her words reminded him of an idiom that was often used to describe a couple.
(Behind every successful man is a supportive woman)
He prepared his bag a while after Wang Yufei left the apartment. With a mere eight square spaces in his Dimensional Storage, it is indeed insufficient for him to house so many equipments at once.
Out of the eight spaces, four were taken by the Phalanx X-02. As for the four remaining spaces, one was occupied by the three vials of Instant Recovery Spray. The other three were also taken by the General Purpose Rations, 9mm bullets, and the Steel Daggers.
Luckily, the system enables stacking in its storage concept. But it was limited to a hundred units for each item.
This means it won't be enough for him to pack the Centurion S-11 semi-automatic rifle into his Dimensional Storage unless he upgraded it.
'Stein. Is it possible to upgrade the storage?' Zhang Qin Feng asked as he placed the processed precious metal refined by the system into his bag.
'Let's sell ten gold pieces, the hundred-gram palladium plate, and all the scrap silver for now.' Zhang Qin Feng decided to make it easier for him and Wang Yijie to move forward with the trade. As he was done with his bag, Stein's reply came.
[Toot!]
-
[Storage system upgrade is possible]
-
[9th space - Duranium Shard x 1]
[10th space - Duranium Shard x 1]
[11th space to 20th space - Duranium Shard x 10 each]
-
[Would the user like to upgrade?]
[Available Duranium: 50]
-
'That's great. Since I have so much in hand right now, let's upgrade it first. Stein, open up until I have fourteen spaces available.' Zhang Qin Feng ordered. In his opinion, this is not a big sum as it would be related to his chance of survival in the post-apocalypse.
[42 Duranium Shards deducted. Dimensional Space is now at 14 units]
'Alright. Let's keep the Centurion and Phalanx with its ammunition inside the Dimensional Storage. I won't be needing to use the Steel Dagger or rations now, so I'll leave them at home.'
'Let's go.' feeling that he's all ready to go, Zhang Qin Feng locked the door and leave.
Arriving at the Qingzhou Mall about half an hour later, selling the scrap metal turned out to be a total of 70,000 dollars deposited into his account. Along with the 50,000 dollars inside, he finally has his financial crisis solved for now, with 120,000 dollars available for him to use.
'To think that a few months back, I changed from a poor bast*rd into someone with a hundred grand in my bank account.' Zhang Qin Feng rubbed his eyes in disbelieve.
The total sum of twelve with four zeroes following after that made his hand trembled. For the first time ever, he had more than 4,000 dollars in his personal bank account.
'Tell me, Stein. Is there anything better we can do right now?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. With 120 grand in his bank account, it should be enough for him to start something.

[Has the user think about creating your own survivor camp? The system believes that the chances of success are high based on the land evaluation of the residential area before returning. By creating a pseudo survivor camp, it would help the user to collect the resources quickly]
-
'Creating my own survivor camp? How does it even work?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. Curiosity filled his head as ask for more.
