Guan Yi walked over and looked at the remaining dozen pairs of earrings that had been selected by the female Beta.

Gold used to be valuable in the past, but in this era, it is worthless, at most just a decoration. The hard currency in this world is crystal cores.

In the outskirts, sometimes crystal cores are not useful, and one needs food, drink, and healing medicine.

Bartering with star coins and other transactions is not popular in the outskirts. Most transactions are done directly with goods, so the female Beta did not take much with her. These things only serve as ornaments for them and become burdensome when they go into battle.

It claims to be an artifact, a modern item, but it is not valuable and has no collectible value because hunters generally have a lifespan of less than fifty.

They can live for over two hundred years on the surface, but dealing with mutants every day, it is uncertain when they might die. Those who live to thirty are rare, so it is not worth spending time collecting.

The female Beta only took one or two pieces of jewelry at most, and the rest were mostly collected by him and Wen Hao.

This time, Guan Yi did not collect directly. Instead, he opened the cabinet and took out a pair of long, jingling earrings, imitating the female Beta, and put them on his ears.

He couldn't see his own appearance, nor could he see others', so he didn't know how the female Beta looked wearing them. He couldn't see himself either, even if there was a mirror in front of him. He could only shake his head and listen to the pleasant sound of the earrings jingling.

He was waiting for everyone to finish looking around and lose interest in this place before leaving. The entire jewelry store was now only left with him and Wen Hao; everyone else had left early.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to do this. He was actually very timid and not that strong. He was afraid of the dark, afraid of being left behind, afraid of the occasional whimpering sounds coming from behind and on both sides, and afraid of the occasional faint noises.

So every time, even if he knew it was impossible, he tried to make himself faster and faster, not hanging back too far, not being alone.

As long as he could see the faint light shining in the distance, he would feel much safer.

Now he wasn't afraid at all because he knew his teammate would wait for him, no matter how slow he was or how far behind he was. He could always look up and see Alpha's figure patiently standing not far away.

This time was no exception. The Alpha was leaning against the door frame, carrying a backpack, waiting for him.

Guan Yi collected the other items in the jewelry store, walked over, stood next to Alpha, pulled down his mask, compared the earrings on his ears, and looked up at her, asking, "Do they look good?"

He hoped they looked good, but he couldn't see himself, so he always felt uncertain, despite the success of the female Beta.

It's afternoon now, and the sky is still bright. He is sure that Wen Hao can see his facial features.

She had complimented his good looks before, so he dared to show his face to her, but she stared at him for several seconds without saying a word, making him lose confidence.

Just as he was about to take off the earring, he heard her say, "That's not how you wear it."

She took the earring from his hand, inevitably touching his hand in the process. He trembled slightly for a moment but couldn't help but follow the warmth. He moved forward a bit more, pushing away that hand, and then Alpha leaned in, one hand pinching the earring, the other pinching his earlobe, and after looking at it for a while, she said, "You don't have pierced ears, so you can't wear it."
