After seeing Wang Daguo off, Shen Lu didn't take off her raincoat. Instead, she locked the door and went back out.
It was still early, so she wanted to make another trip to the general store to buy scavenging tools.
She bought an identical set of tools, and also picked up a kitchen knife and some other cooking and eating utensils.
Without exception, all of these items were made of metal.
"Don't you have any made of wood?" Shen Lu asked curiously.
The general store owner chuckled. "Sure, but you'd have to go to the Upper City District to buy them. I don't have any here."
Wooden products were luxury goods. How could a lower-class citizen afford them?
At a recent auction, a wooden chair sold for the shocking price of a million Star Coins.
A million Star Coins. He'd never earn that much in his entire life, yet the rich used it to buy a chair they wouldn't even dare sit on.
Sigh, the gap between people was just too vast.
Upper City District.
