252 The Game Resumes (1/2)

After resting for a night, Jiang Fei found his thoughts occupied by 0541's energy crisis issue, rather than school.

In fact, Jiang Fei did not dare to nonchalantly bring potions or other items out of the game anymore. After all, doing so would cost him the remaining energy stored in 0541. If the items he brought out were subpar, it would only be a waste.

In all honesty, Jiang Fei had earned hundreds of millions of dollars from Han Tianyu's previous payment. Although he only sold thirty bottles of potions to Han Tianyu and the Zhang household, the price of each bottle was far higher than what the military could afford to pay. Therefore, the amount of money he received was overwhelming. If Jiang Fei spent this money purchasing non-weaponized nuclear fuel from the black market, he could perhaps replenish 0541's energy, somewhat. However, as Jiang Fei had only recently been exposed to the more intricate complexities of the world, he was still unaware of many things. As such, he also did not know that he could purchase nuclear fuel from the black market.

After returning home from school, Jiang Fei stared at the ring on his hand blankly. This was the last day of the game's maintenance. He still could not log in to the game. Jiang Fei was not even aware that he had fallen asleep after some time. Despite that, he still had not figured out a way to obtain nuclear fuel!

After the day had passed, Jiang Fei gave Zhang Yangxu a call. He wanted to explore more ways of producing nuclear energy. Based on the current prospects, this was the only source of energy that he could obtain!

”What? You have used up all three thousand rounds of bullets?”

Zhang Yangxu was stunned. After all, these weapons had been designed to outlast any other weapon in terms of ammunition.

”Hehe, I was toying around with it. I was not really paying attention until it went all empty!” Jiang Fei said as he laughed.

”Fine. I will send over more bullet clips to you tonight. However, bear in mind that depleted uranium is still highly toxic. Please do not disassemble it recklessly. If you have no way of disposing of it, I can do it for you!” Zhang Yangxu warned him.

Giving Jiang Fei a few more nuclear batteries would not hurt. These battery packs were not exactly cheap, but if it kept him on Jiang Fei's good side, it was worth it. Even better if it allowed him to purchase potions from Jiang Fei.

Last time, he had bought thirty bottles of potion. In less than half an hour, the potions had all been distributed amongst the big fellows in each household. In the eyes of these people, no amount of money could match the value of life. If not for Chen Kaiyin's great efforts, these people would have poked their fingers into the affairs of the military.

”Alright. I will wait for you at the same junction after school!” Jiang Fei said and nodded.

After school was over in the afternoon, Zhang Yangxu was indeed waiting for Jiang Fei at the quiet and deserted alley.

”Here you go! These five nuclear batteries can be used to discharge ten thousand shots. Be careful when playing with them. Adjust the power to the lowest level so that you don't hurt anyone!” Zhang Yangxu laughed as he handed the nuclear batteries over to Jiang Fei.

”Alright!” Jiang Fei nodded. He was finally able to feed the mysterious ring with some energy, although the little bit of energy would never satisfy 0541.

However, it would at least allow 0541 to remain conscious and not get cut off when answering Jiang Fei's questions.

”Oh yeah, do you need me to take care of those empty clips?” Zhang Yangxu asked almost too politely. He had actually hoped to recycle the used nuclear batteries.

”Why would I bring that to school? Once I'm done with these, I'll return them to you together with the rest!”

Jiang Fei obviously would not tell Zhang Yangxu that he had disassembled the batteries himself!

”That's true!” Zhang Yangxu laughed and shook his head, no longer pursuing the matter.

After parting ways with Zhang Yangxu, Jiang Fei went to a corner where no one was looking. He then used the ring on his hand to slice open the five nuclear batteries. The ring immediately started absorbing the energy released from the batteries. Although the radiation was practically in Jiang Fei's face, he was not even affected in the slightest!
