Barto returned just before nightfall, bringing back a jumble of assorted items.
Gu Ning was nearly blinded by the pile of sparkling things on the floor.
Crystal lamps, crystal bottles, all sorts of ornaments that sparkled in the light, and furniture that looked very expensive were piled up like a small mountain in front of her.

She had never been to the mall in Zone 19, only looked at it from the outside. Generally speaking, goods in Zone 19 weren't exactly scarce. You could find just about anything you wanted, except for items for females. It was just that everything was geared toward practicality.
'If they're this hard to find and so pricey on the black market,' she thought, 'they must be even more expensive at the mall. Otherwise, black market merchants would have no reason to sell them.'
