Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Receives the Treatment of 76 Masters (Asking for First Order and Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Harvest-76 Treatment of Experts (Seeking First Order and Monthly Tickets)
Chapter 75 Harvest (Congratulations to Baiyin Mengbangzige 2/5)
Hua Xiezi has actually determined that this battle is won.
The reason why I asked this question is that I subconsciously don’t want people to pay attention to Qu Jianlei’s weak state.
However, she can think of this, and others can’t fail to think of it... Is it possible to kill two wolf kings without paying a price?
Many people noticed that the man’s state was a little wrong.
But Qu Jianlei’s previous ruthlessness in killing people was also deeply imprinted in everyone’s impression.
No one dared to bet whether he had the ability to kill another person.
The one who could kill the wolf king with a knife was a real ruthless person, not to mention that he had sniped a wolf king before.
The skinny man was the first to react, "It's okay, the two wolf kings are dead, they can't come again."
"My boss is tired," Hua Xiezi said directly, "Don't disturb him, tell me if you have something to say."
Heitian's weakness can't be hidden from anyone, so it's better for Daming to admit it generously.
I don't believe anyone dares to bet whether my boss can still kill people?
"This... we need to discuss the battlefield harvest," the skinny man said frankly, "especially the two wolf kings."
An unexpected encounter with a wolf pack is a great disaster, but at the same time... it also means that there may be huge gains.
Risks and gains are always proportional, and the wolf corpses all over the ground are proof of this.
The meat of the frost wolf can be eaten, but it tastes fishy and sour, and the taste is astringent.
It is because it is a mutant beast that some people collect it.
Wolf skin can be used to make simple armor, and it is also worth some money... In fact, if you don't mind, you can cook it and eat it.
In any case, no matter how insignificant the income is, as long as the amount accumulates to a certain level, it is not something that ordinary people can ignore.
There were almost 2,000 frost wolf corpses at the scene, and nearly 1,000 half-dead ones.
There is no doubt that this is a huge harvest.
Nearly one-fifth of the wolf corpses were killed by Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi.
This is not an exaggeration at all. Although they used less ammunition, their kill rate was really high.
But after all, the two wolf kings are the most valuable.
The first wolf king is the real wolf king, and the second wolf king... According to everyone's analysis, this should be the candidate wolf king.
The competition for the wolf king is very cruel and disorderly, but there are also examples that are determined in advance.
This candidate wolf king should be in this situation. The wolf king is dead, and it must take revenge, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the crowd.
Also because its status was established in advance, once it died, other wolves will not be able to come out to compete for the throne for the time being.
So the defeat of the wolf pack is inevitable.
This is all analyzed by everyone after the war. Whether it is really the case is hard to say.
In short, the battle is won, and the next step is the distribution of the spoils. No one will be vague on this point.
Carrying wolf corpses is a physical job, but Qu Jianlei really doesn't want to move a finger.
Hua Xiezi asked him and immediately decided to sell all the wolf corpses, leaving only the body of the alternate wolf king.
For the body of the huge wolf king, other teams also put forward the demand to buy it.
It is true that the wolf king was sniped by Qu Jianlei, but it was also the result of everyone's cooperation.
Whether it is lending sniper rifles or basically determining the location of the wolf king, others have also made contributions.
They hope to buy the body of the wolf king at a "relatively reasonable" price.
As for the alternate wolf king, it was purely Qu Jianlei who killed it alone, and no one was blind enough to make a claim.
Hua Xiezi is not only a sharpshooter, but also has a way of doing business, otherwise he would not have become the core figure of the three-person group.
She thinks that the price offered by the other party for the wolf king is a bit low. A mere 5,000 silver dollars is not enough, and at least 10,000 is required.
She believes that apart from the use value, the decorativeness of the wolf king's fur alone is enough to make it a luxury product.
The other party said that the skin was damaged, which seriously affected the price.
If it was replaced by a candidate wolf king, firstly, no one would share the profits, and secondly, the fur was relatively intact, so it could be sold for 10,000 silver dollars.
In the end, Cindy stood up to explain to her that the market price in the Zhou San settlement area was almost the same.
That is, the wolf pack led by this wolf king was large enough and strong enough, otherwise the price might be low.
In the end, Huaxie gave up the ownership of the wolf king at a price of 6,000.
Cindy didn't help much in this transaction, but she was very familiar with the price of ordinary frost wolves.
Generally speaking, the price of a frost wolf fluctuates around ten silver dollars.
But this time, everyone killed too many frost wolves, and the price would definitely drop.
So the purchase price offered by others was three silver dollars, anyway, the cost of hunting by Qu Jianlei and the others was much lower than this.
Thanks to Cindy for telling Huaxie the real market price, but even so, this deal was still extremely difficult to negotiate.
The buyer said that because it was a bulk purchase, we had to sell at a discount when selling in bulk.
However, Hua Xiezi's attitude was that when selling in bulk, we certainly couldn't pursue huge profits.
She even said that at worst we could take the wolf corpses to the Zhou San settlement to sell them.
Regardless of whether Hua Xiezi could enter Zhou San, Cindy's identity as a settlement resident alone could guarantee one person.
Adding Cindy's daughter's words, Qu Jianlei and the others could enter the settlement.
The final price was six silver dollars per wolf corpse, which was double the original price.
Hua Xiezi and Qu Jianlei killed about 600 wolves, and the price difference alone reached 1,800 silver dollars.
Without Cindy's help, the price would definitely not be so good.
Anyway, after this battle, the cost they spent was about 500 silver dollars, mainly because of excessive consumption of ammunition.
The biggest consumption was the final strafing of the vehicle-mounted machine gun, which consumed too many bullets.
The profit of this battle was basically about 10,000 silver dollars, which can be considered a huge profit.
However, the forces that bought the wolf king's corpse said that they could not afford so many silver dollars and would wait until they arrived at the Zhou San settlement to trade.
Hua Xiezi made such a large sum of money and gave Cindy a 100-yuan silver note as a reward.
Others were a little puzzled when they saw it. When did these two have such a good relationship?
Early the next morning, everyone started to clean up the battlefield.
Hua Xiezi rented a suite and let Qu Jianlei sleep in the inner room while she slept and kept watch in the outer room.
Generally speaking, the supply station was relatively safe, and Qu Jianlei slept for a whole day and night.
When he woke up, it was dawn, and he felt refreshed. After a big meal, he was ready to set off.
Cindy had already asked for leave from the supply station.
Although her income was not high, she was taken care of by her deceased husband's comrades, and she lived relatively freely in the supply station.
Qu Jianlei confirmed with her again-you already have 100 silver dollars, are you sure you want to take risks with us?
However, Cindy saw it very clearly. 100 silver dollars can help us for a while, but can it help us for a lifetime?
Zhengjin couldn't accompany her daughter for a long time, and she was also worried about her daughter's growth.
Hua Xiezi whispered to Qu Jianlei: This is where her partner died, and the family business was also taken away...
This is such a sad place, I guess a woman would not want to stay, right?
Qu Jianlei officially accepted Cindy's "joining".
After driving for a day and a night, they finally arrived at the Zhousan settlement. Outside the city, they met Cindy's daughter Claire.
This was a short and strong girl, twelve years old, only a little over 1.4 meters tall, but she was very strong.
There was a rebellious light in the girl's eyes, and she seemed to have her own ideas.
Her attitude towards her mother was okay, but she was quite indifferent to Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi.
However, after seeing the huge corpse of the wolf king, her attitude towards Qu Jianlei changed drastically, and she became much friendlier to Hua Xiezi.
An adventurer who could kill the wolf king, and killed him with a knife, satisfied all the little girls' longing for the strong.
The identity of the mother and daughter settlement was still there, so it was certainly not a problem to bring Qu Jianlei and the others into the city.
However, at the gate of the city, two trucks carrying the wolf king were surrounded on the spot.
These were well-informed forces, knowing that a supply station was besieged by wolves the night before.
Everyone knows that the deal for the big wolf king has been settled, but... isn't there a small one?
Fortunately, Cindy has lived in the Zhou San settlement for quite a while, and she said very straightforwardly: We want to go into the settlement to sell.
In the wasteland, strong strength is the best protection. If Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi were not there, Cindy would not dare to say so.
Now everyone who gathered around knew that it was these two who killed the two wolf kings and saved the people at the supply station.
Faced with such a powerful existence, who would dare to nag?
The guards at the city gate did not even let the two take off their masks, let alone check their identities, and let them in directly.
In their words, this is a hero who saved many survivors, and identity is not important.
If they hadn't killed the wolf king at the supply station and defeated the frost wolf pack, the surrounding wild camps would have been unlucky.
Without a leader, the wolf pack will no longer be so large. Once it is dispersed, the wild camp will be much easier to defend.
The people in the settlement look down on the wild people in the wild camp, but they are all human after all, right?
Without adventurers in the wild, the safety and supplies of the settlement cannot be guaranteed.
So the guards' attitude is easy to understand. Off-road light trucks with guns and ammunition can enter the city.
They were even quite polite to Cindy.
After entering the city, Cindy took the two to the cold storage, rented a compartment to put the wolf king down, and then went to collect another fee for the wolf king.
There was no pretentious and face-slapping scene. Who would take the risk to provoke the master who could kill the Frost Wolf King?
Then Cindy found a broker and said that the wolf king would be auctioned tomorrow - the wasteland also has similar rules to ensure maximum benefits.
Then she took them to make a big purchase, but what made Qu Jianlei a little unhappy was that the energy blocks here were sold very expensively.
When he was in the Hongwu settlement, buying energy blocks was equivalent to 70 silver dollars a piece, but here it was 110 silver dollars.
At this price, the energy block store still said: It is because you killed the wolf king that you gave a discount!
——————
Chapter 76 Treatment of Experts (Fourth update to congratulate Baiyin Mengbangzige 3/5)
Qu Jianlei was quite dissatisfied with the price of energy blocks. This time he planned to buy fifty energy blocks.
This time, 5,500 silver dollars were spent. Did he fight the wolf king in vain?
If he bought it in Hongwu, 3,500 silver dollars would be enough. This one is... a difference of 2,000 silver dollars?
Admittedly, he used gold to buy it at the Hongwu settlement, but the price difference is too big, isn't it?
He glanced at Hua Xiezi, who couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't the energy block be 100 silver dollars?"
"Where did you get this information from?" The store staff was also puzzled, "120 or 130 yuan is normal for retail sales."
Cindy hurriedly explained, "You may have purchased it through different channels, and Zhou San bought it at this price."
"Not only Zhou San, the entire Zhouzi settlement is like this," the manager of the energy block store answered very straightforwardly.
He did not question the other party's words, but just said, "If you think it's too expensive, you can use the original channel."
"This is the price given to us by the higher-ups. If I sell it cheaper, I have to make up for the loss myself."
The flower scorpion's eyes rolled, "Can we buy more and resell it at a higher price?"
"It's up to you," the supervisor replied indifferently, "Anyway, I'll give you a discount, just this once."
Qu Jianlei and the flower scorpion exchanged glances, then said, "Then let's discuss it again."
After leaving the store, he couldn't help asking Cindy, "Why is the price of energy blocks so expensive?"
Cindy looked at him puzzledly, "Not expensive, right? Energy blocks are really in high demand, and the official price you mentioned is impossible."
"How could this be?" Flower Scorpion frowned, "Are their energy blocks bigger?"
Cindy shook her head, "It's impossible to be bigger, laser guns consume a lot of energy blocks... You are not from the settlement outside the word Zhou, right?"
"No," Flower Scorpion answered very straightforwardly, "It's just that the price we bought energy blocks before was one hundred silver dollars."
Cindy did not doubt her words, her late husband was a team leader, so she knew that there were settlements outside the word Zhou.
But that's all she knew, it's said that it's difficult to come to settlements with other prefixes.
So she asked back, "If that's the case, why don't you go to that channel to buy again?"
"That person is dead," Flower Scorpion answered calmly, "Other people... we don't trust them."
"Then there must be a saying," Cindy did not doubt this statement, isn't it normal for people to die in the wasteland?
She didn't ask around, but just suggested in a proper way, "But you can take advantage of this discount and make a little money."
Qu Jianlei frowned. He should be able to raise some money by auctioning another wolf king tomorrow.
The next moment, Hua Xiezi spoke up, "Let's find a place to buy some books first."
Thinking of the same thing! Qu Jianlei nodded secretly when he heard it. Teaming up with Hua Xiezi really saved him a lot of trouble.
It was different after all with Cindy leading the way, and she had a certain status and knew a little more than ordinary residents.
In fact, she was somewhat suspicious: the other party actually gave priority to buying books, and his origin might be a bit problematic.
However, in her years of poverty, she had mastered enough survival wisdom: don't ask things that you shouldn't ask!
Anyway, no one has ever given her a hundred silver dollars at a time, and just for this reward, she will keep her mouth shut.
After all the hustle and bustle, they actually bought more than 200 books, and the price was very favorable.
What was particularly rare was that he actually bought some reference books, including books on repairing mechanical arms.
Qu Jianlei was immediately attracted and actually started reading while sitting in the car.
He had never been very satisfied with the transformation of the transport mecha. The sturdiness was okay, but the key was that the energy conversion rate was too low.
If it weren't for the geothermal cave he accidentally discovered, he and Hua Xiezi would probably not be able to get out of the mountain with only that little energy block.
Seeing him flipping through the book on repair knowledge, Cindy raised her eyebrows in surprise: This guy even knows this?
In the Zhouzi settlement area, people with such professional skills must have inherited it, and they will never leak it easily.
The saying "teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death" is almost deeply rooted in the wasteland.
Since you can survive without taking risks by relying on your skills... and you can live well, why cultivate competitors?
The next moment, she remembered what she had to do, "Lord Huang Xiezi, can I move out of the resident status of Zhou San?"
"Move out of the settlement identity?" Hua Xiezi raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She is not Qu Jianlei, and is very familiar with this. "You should consider it yourself. Where do you plan to move to?"
The identity of a settlement is rare, but it is possible to change identities between settlements with the same prefix.
The environments and conditions between settlements are significantly different.
Some people need to change places for their own development or other reasons, which is understandable - talent mobility must be allowed!
It's just that moving out is easy, but when you move in, you will probably have to pay some fees, unless it is an obvious "downward migration".
"I don't have a favorite place," Cindy answered very straightforwardly, "wherever the two adults suggest, that's it."
She just wants to escape from this city. Anyway, there are formal procedures, and it is not difficult to move to another place.
"We don't have any suggestions," Hua Xiezi said very straightforwardly. She knew that the other party said this to show loyalty.
The orphan and widow left the place they were familiar with and wandered around the world with two people of unknown origin, even taking their identities with them.
This is a bet that they will do well!
So all she could say was, "It doesn't matter if you don't move out. You can wait a few years and then come back with your daughter."
"We don't want to stay in this disgusting place," Cindy said lightly, "We want to change the environment and start a new life."
"Then we'll talk about it later," Huaxiezi thought that the other party was also an adult, and his suggestions would be limited.
But in the end, she couldn't help but say, "It's very risky to stay with us all the time."
Cindy didn't even raise her eyelids, and replied lightly, "Where is there no risk?"
Claire didn't have any rejection of leaving Zhou San, but was a little looking forward to it.
"We don't need to go through the relocation procedures, right? It costs money... We can be wild adventurers."
Seeing her eager to try, Qu Jianlei suddenly thought of a sentence, "The sword is not yet properly equipped, and you are already in the rivers and lakes when you go out."
For young people, is an adventurous life really attractive?
But Cindy obviously didn't think so. She scolded her with a stern face and said something like "I'm doing this for your own good."
Claire made a face and said nothing more. Obviously, this rebellious girl still has some respect for her mother.
When handling the procedures for moving out, there were some twists and turns, and the person in charge actually persuaded Cindy to think twice.
Cindy was quite surprised by this persuasion, and she felt that she was not so popular.
Sure enough, the other party then suggested that since you have come into contact with the strong, it is better to keep the other party instead of following him.
Zhou San settlement promised that if Qu Jianlei and his partner really wanted to move in, all handling fees would be waived, and the head tax for ten years could be exempted.
Head tax is collected in every settlement, and most of the regulations are that it is completely waived for those under ten years old, and half price for those between ten and sixteen years old.
This is meant to encourage childbirth, but for most residents, a head tax of one silver dollar per year is really not cheap.
Claire has been charged head tax for two years, although it is half price, it is still one silver dollar.
Cindy works alone to support two people, and she also has to pay head tax. The pressure is imaginable.
Qu Jianlei really couldn't help it, "Do you think we are short of ten silver dollars?"
"Gun licenses... but they also cost money," the other party had a good attitude.
Qu Jianlei and his partner didn't charge any fees for entering the city this time, but that was only because he had made contributions and was exempted.
Simply put, if you want to have various rights in the settlement, you have to pay various fees.
Hua Xiezi asked calmly, "What if we don't have a certificate of relocation?"
"Without a certificate of relocation... that's difficult," the other party was a little embarrassed.
He didn't think that the other party definitely didn't have a certificate of relocation. Would someone who could buy an energy block for 100 silver dollars be short of a certificate?
That's right, the Zhou San settlement is really small, and for well-informed people, there is no privacy at all.
He thought that the other party was just hiding his origins, and this situation is not uncommon-real masters don't want to be disturbed.
So he said frankly, "If you can guarantee to serve in the Zhou San City Guard for ten years..."
"Not only can you be exempted from the certificate of relocation, we can also provide free housing."
"Of course, not everything will be done by you two. We will occasionally patrol and ask you two to come out for major events."
These people have a good understanding of the mentality of the strong. The strong will not be afraid of things, but no one likes trouble.
Wasteland version of talent introduction plan? Qu Jianlei's thinking is a bit divergent.
But this is not surprising, this is a place where the strong are respected.
The identity of the settlement is difficult for ordinary survivors to obtain, but those who are really capable don't have to worry about it.
For a moment, he was a little dazed. At that time, he was in Hongsi, and it was difficult to get the identity of a settlement!
But now, someone actually took the initiative to deliver it to the door.
"Let's forget it," Hua Xiezi said, "We just like to wander around..."
"A small settlement identity wants to tie us up for ten years, it's really wishful thinking."
Claire's eyes were full of stars when she heard it. This kind of happy life is what she wants to pursue.
Although her father is great, he is too submissive. He will take the blame even if he dies. She doesn't want such a cowardly life.
The other party was not angry, but just said lightly, "Cindy, I have always been good to you, I hope you won't be so impulsive."
Cindy replied expressionlessly, "You really didn't bully me, but I don't owe you anything."
