Chapter 85 Hunting (first update to congratulate Brother Bangzi 3/10)

Geng Shougong reported two thousand books in order to make the other party feel poor.

Since he agreed without hesitation, he pretended to remember something.

"Oh, it doesn't seem possible. This is Zhou Liu's entire collection of books. I don't think it's appropriate to lend them out at once."

"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded simply, "If you want to ask me for a book deposit again, then I'll be really nervous."

Communication among technical geeks is always so straightforward.

Geng Shougong smiled disapprovingly. The value of these books itself was not high. They were priceless only because they wanted to monopolize knowledge.

"The deposit doesn't need to be too much, as long as you have the intention... Do you enjoy reading?"

"I read books very quickly," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "rent as much as you can."

"Then..." Geng Shougong looked at the other party and asked thoughtfully, "One hundred copies?"

"Two hundred," Qu Jianlei hoped to borrow more, "Old driver... forget it, I have to trouble you to send someone to deliver it."

In his excitement, he almost forgot that the identities of Cindy and his daughter were not exposed outside the city.

Geng Shougong didn't care about this guy's slip of the tongue, and nodded simply, "The deposit is two yuan for each copy, is that okay?"

Four hundred silver dollars, the repair fee the other party paid two days ago is enough.

After the decision was made, he returned to the city. After returning, he arranged for someone to test the spindle to see if there were any blisters.

Because the most advanced sonic flaw detector was used, it only took an hour for the flaw detection results to come out.

There are indeed blisters inside the spindle!

In this one hour, two hundred books were prepared, mainly some older books and periodicals.

He still wanted to test whether the other party would tell him that he had already read some books.

But this time, he didn't go there in person, he just sent someone to deal with it.

In the afternoon, the people who were sent out came back and handed over a full four hundred silver dollars.

"The other party left all the books and said they just wanted to systematically organize their mechanical knowledge."

"That's the truth," Geng Shougong nodded slightly. A good memory is not as good as a bad writing. Some knowledge does need to be reviewed from time to time.

He sorted out the information on the table and then said he wanted to make some plans. He accidentally pulled out a wanted poster with his fingertips.

"Qu Jianlei, Shaqu, Heitian, Fugui...do you have some knowledge of mechanical maintenance?"

He was stunned for a few seconds, looked at it carefully again, and finally burst into laughter and shook his head disapprovingly.

"What are you thinking about? How can such a strong maintenance ability be developed within a year?"

"The contents of this wanted order... are also outrageous. Forget it, let's make some arrangements. Don't disturb that person."

His purpose was just to protect a powerful repairman. If the other party left Zhou Liu in anger, his hard work would be in vain.

He really didn't expect that this maintenance engineer was actually the person on the wanted list!

Qu Jianlei didn't know that Geng Shougong, whom he had only met once, silently stepped in to help him block a wave of malicious intent.

He didn't even feel that the wanted order for Hongzi settlement was actually sent to Zhou Liu.

The key is that the wanted person did not expect that Hua Xiezi not only survived, but also formed a team with Silly Qu.

The small team of four that appeared in Zhouliu looked like they could pull off a silly song.

Geng Shougong's arrangement helped Qu Jianlei make up for the last shortcoming.

In the next three days, apart from boxing and meditation, Qu Jianlei spent most of his time reading.

There are some vocabulary words that he still doesn't understand, but he has become accustomed to vague reading, so he will skip the unfamiliar vocabulary for now.

As long as he reads enough books, he will be able to deduce the meaning of words sooner or later. He is very familiar with this operation.

When he was at Blue Star, he also read books like this, and most of the time he didn't even bother to look it up in the dictionary.

In three days, he read almost twenty books, which was really very efficient.

Hua Xiezi saw that he was reading so quickly, so he couldn't help but pick up a book and flip through it.

As a result, within half an hour, she would fall asleep. Her lack of literacy was not the main reason. The key was that she did not have this talent.

On the morning of the fourth day, Qu Jianlei walked out of his room after meditating all night, but was surprised to find: It was snowing again!

There is no doubt that this is the arrival of the cold wave and everyone is busy doing the last thing before setting off.

When it first starts snowing, it's best not to go out in a hurry, otherwise you'll easily get lost.

The snow stopped in the early morning of the next day, and Qu Jianlei, Hua Xiezi, Cindy and Spencer finally drove out.

The good thing about the old liar is that he is very good at memorizing directions. With him around, even Xue'er can't be ranked.

However, the Snow Mastiff's ability is mainly used to track prey.

It was extremely difficult to walk in the wild after snow. It started snowing again a day later, and the temperature dropped sharply. It was estimated to be more than 20 degrees below zero at night.

The four of them drove for three days and finally arrived at a hilly area, which is a famous hunting ground in the Zhouliu settlement area.

The hunting ground is so famous that there are far more than ten or eight groups that come here. At the end of the day, there are more than a dozen rows of tracks alone.

Relatively speaking, there were relatively few prey, and almost nothing could be seen.

That night, Xue'er's luck wasn't too bad, and she found a snowshoe rabbit's nest.

There were only two half-grown rabbits, a male and a female, in the nest. They probably only got together in the summer, and they didn't have much meat.

Two rabbits are not even enough to feed four people and one dog, but there are always no bald heads on the first day, which is a good sign.

Qu Jianlei didn't shoot, both snow rabbits were shot by Hua Scorpion.

Cindy actually hit a rabbit's ear, which is rare.

The next day was even worse, with a bald head.

Xueer found traces of a lynx, but unfortunately, when everyone chased after it, the lynx was being surrounded by a team.

Seeing them chasing after them, the team of seven or eight people immediately became alert.

Finally, the old liar had a relatively high level of recognition. He came out to say hello and said to the other party that you should leave quickly to avoid misunderstandings.

After wandering around the hills for seven or eight days, the harvest was very average, and it may not even be equal to the expenditure.

However, both the old liar and Cindy were quite satisfied. If they didn't go out hunting, they would be sitting on nothing.

Qu Jianlei was not satisfied, as he needed too many supplies, so he proposed to fight in the Black Wind Swamp.

The danger there has increased a lot, and there are many powerful creatures such as the Frostbolt Wolf, the Three-Eyed Blue Fox, and the Heart-Moon Bear.

However, even in Blackwind Swamp, the hunting team is not small at all, with more people and more powerful firepower.

Several times, Qu Jianlei's team almost came into conflict with others.

Everyone wants to hunt good prey, and they can give it up once in a while, but it is not appropriate to give it up again and again.

The key is that the old liar is also provoking: We are so powerful, we must build our reputation, right?

In Zhou Liu's winter hunting, if you just talk about tolerance, others will not appreciate it!

Being serious means you have a bad reputation. When others provoke you, you have to consider the cost.

This truth is correct! Qu Jianlei and others got angry, and they did their best to find suitable prey.

Their team is indeed a bit small, but the equipment is absolutely unambiguous. Even if a medium-sized team sees it, they should give it some thought.

As long as the other party is willing to consider it, it's time for Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi to show off their talents.

Especially when the two of them, with three teams watching, used two laser guns to kill more than ten three-eyed blue foxes in one minute.

After the results of this victory spread, many teams realized that another team with a small number of people but an absolutely capable team appeared.

Half a month later, Qu Jianlei's team evacuated the hunting ground - there were still some living supplies, but the key was that the light truck was full!

However, just because the light truck is full does not mean that the harvest will be overwhelming. At least in Qu Jianlei's opinion, it can only be considered unsatisfactory.

The main prey on the car are the ice arrow wolf and the three-eyed blue fox, but the fur of these two prey is slightly more valuable.

The meat of the Ice Arrow Wolf is extremely unpalatable and can be extracted into some useful substances, while the meat of the Three-Eyed Blue Fox can only be fed to mutant beasts.

There were also three hibernating tailless crocodiles that were found by Xueer.

However, only a small part of the meat of this thing can be eaten, and the leather is a little more expensive. The key is that it can be used as protective leather armor.

Needless to say about the others, the most valuable ones are actually two Xinyue bears, one big and one small, they should be mother and son.

Xinyue Bear is a C-level mutant beast. Its meat is edible, its fur is expensive, and its oil is edible and can be used as industrial raw materials.

Even bear bile, bear liver, bear eyes, bear tail, etc. are of great use.

Therefore, there is a saying that "Xin Yue Xiong's body is full of treasures."

Anyway, after a month and a half of this trip, apart from bringing back some meat, the other gains would not exceed 800 silver dollars.

After deducting the cost of nearly 600 yuan, apart from meat, the net income is only 200 silver dollars.
