Chapter 75 Harvest (Congratulations to Baiyinmeng Bangzi Brother 2/5)
Flower Scorpion has actually determined that this battle has been won.
The reason why I asked this question was because I subconsciously didn’t want people to pay attention to Qu Jianlei’s weak state.
However, she can think of this, and others can't think of it... Is it possible to kill two wolf kings in a row without paying the price?
Many people noticed that there was something wrong with that man's state.
But Qu Jianlei's ruthlessness in killing people before was also deeply impressed on everyone.
No one dares to bet whether he has the ability to kill another person.
The master who can kill a wolf king with a sword is a real ruthless person, not to mention that he also killed a wolf king with a sniper before.
The skinny man was the first to react, "It's okay. The two wolf kings are dead. They can't come back again."
"My boss is tired," Hua Xiezi said directly, "Don't disturb him. If you have anything to say, tell me."
Krishna's weakness cannot be hidden from others, so it would be better for Ming to admit it openly.
I don’t believe who dares to bet whether my boss can kill someone?
"Well...we need to discuss the harvest on the battlefield," the skinny man said frankly, "especially the two wolf kings."
An unexpected encounter with a pack of wolves is a huge disaster, but at the same time... it also means there may be huge gains.
Risks and rewards are always directly proportional, as evidenced by the wolf carcasses all over the ground.
Frost wolf meat is edible, but it tastes sour and astringent.
Just because they are mutant beasts, some people collect them.
Wolf skin can be used as simple armor and is worth some money... In fact, if you don't mind it, you can boil it and eat it.
In any case, no matter how inconspicuous the income is, as long as the amount is accumulated to a certain extent, it is not something that ordinary people can ignore.
There were almost 2,000 Frost Wolf corpses at the scene, and nearly a thousand were half-dead.
There is no doubt that this is a huge gain.
Nearly one-fifth of the wolf corpses were killed by Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi.
This is no exaggeration at all. Regardless of the small amount of ammunition they use, the kill rate is really high.
But after all is said and done, 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 fight for the Wolf King is cruel and disorderly, but there are also examples where it was decided in advance.
This should be the case for this candidate wolf king. After the wolf king dies, it must take revenge, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public.
Also because its status is established in advance, once it dies, no other wolf can come out to compete for the throne.
Therefore, the defeat of the wolves is inevitable.
This is all analyzed by everyone after the war. Whether it is really the case is difficult to say.
In short, the battle is won, and the next step is to distribute the spoils. On this point, no one can be ambiguous.
Carrying the wolf carcass was a physical job, but Qu Jianlei really didn't want to move a finger.
Hua Xiezi asked him and immediately decided to sell all the wolf carcasses, leaving only the body of the candidate wolf king.
For the corpse of the huge wolf king, other teams also put forward purchase requirements.
It's true that Qu Jianlei sniped the Wolf King, but it was also the result of everyone's cooperation.
Whether it was lending out sniper rifles or basically determining the location of the Wolf King, others also made contributions.
They hope to buy the body of the Wolf King at a "relatively reasonable" price.
As for the candidate Wolf King, it was purely Qu Jianlei who killed him with all his strength, and no one raised their eyebrows.
Flower Scorpion is not only a marksman, but also has a good way of doing business, otherwise he would not become the core figure of a small group of three people.
She felt that the price offered by the other party for the Wolf King was a bit low. A mere five thousand silver dollars was not enough. It would have been at least ten thousand.
She believes that regardless of its use value, the decorative nature of Wolf King's fur alone is enough to make it a luxury product.
The person on the other side said that the leather was damaged or something, which seriously affected the price.
If it were a candidate wolf king, firstly, no one would share the profit, and secondly, the fur would be relatively intact, but it could be sold for 10,000 silver dollars.
In the end, it was Cindy who stood up and explained to her that this was pretty much what happened in the Zhousan neighborhood.
That is to say, the wolves commanded by this wolf king are large enough and strong enough, otherwise the price may still be low.
In the end, Hua Xiezi gave up the ownership of the Wolf King for six thousand.
Cindy didn't help much with this transaction, but she was 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 will definitely plummet.
Therefore, the purchase price offered by others was three silver dollars. Anyway, Qu Jianlei and his wife's hunting costs were much lower than this.
Thanks to Cindy for telling Hua Scorpion the real price, but even so, negotiating this deal was still extremely difficult.
The acquirer said that because we purchase in bulk, we must also sell at a discount when selling in bulk.
However, the Scorpion's attitude is that, of course, bulk sales cannot pursue huge profits.
She even said that in the worst case, we would take the wolf corpse to the Zhou San settlement and sell it.
Regardless of whether Hua Scorpion can enter Zhou San, Cindy's identity as a settlement resident alone can guarantee one person.
Coupled with Cindy's daughter, both Qu Jianlei and Qu Jianlei can enter the settlement.
The final negotiated price was six silver dollars per wolf carcass, which was double the original price.
Hua Xiezi and Qu Jianlei killed about six hundred wolves, and the price difference alone reached eighteen hundred silver dollars.
Without Cindy's support, the price would definitely not be so beautiful.
Anyway, after this battle, the cost they spent was almost 500 silver dollars, mainly due to excessive consumption of ammunition.
The biggest part of the consumption was the firing of the vehicle-mounted machine gun at the end, which was too much for the bullets.
The profit from this battle was basically about 10,000 silver dollars, which was really a huge profit.
However, the forces that bought the Wolf King's body said that they could not afford so many silver coins and would wait until Zhou San's settlement before trading.
After Hua Scorpion made such a large sum of money, he simply gave Cindy a one hundred dollar check as a reward.
Others looked a little puzzled, when did these two have such a good relationship?
Early the next morning, everyone began to clean the battlefield.
Hua Xiezi rented a suite and let Qu Jianlei sleep in the inner room while she slept in the outer room and kept watch.
Generally speaking, the supply depot was relatively safe, and Qu Jianlei slept all day and night.
It was dawn when he got up, feeling refreshed, and after having a big meal, he was ready to hit the road.
Cindy has already taken leave from the supply station.
Although her income is not high, she is cared for by her deceased husband's comrades and lives relatively freely in the supply depot.
Qu Jianlei confirmed with her again - you already have one hundred silver dollars, are you sure you want to take the risk with us?
However, Cindy sees clearly. One hundred silver dollars can help us for a while, but can it help us for a lifetime?
Seriously, she cannot stay with her daughter for a long time, and she is also worried about her daughter's growth.
Hua Xiezi told Qu Jianlei in a low voice: This is the place where her partner died and the family fortune was taken away...
I guess a woman wouldn't want to stay in such a sad place, right?
Only then did Qu Jianlei officially accept Cindy's "joining the gang."
After driving for a day and night, they finally arrived at the Zhousan settlement. Outside the city, they met Cindy's daughter Claire.
This is a short and stocky girl, twelve years old, only a little over 1.4 meters tall, but she is very strong.
There is an unruly light in the girl's eyes, and she seems to have her own opinions.
Her attitude towards her mother was fine, but towards Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi, she was quite indifferent.
However, after seeing the huge corpse of the Wolf King, her attitude towards Qu Jianlei changed drastically, and she became much friendly towards Hua Xiezi.
The adventurer who can kill the Wolf King, and he does it with a knife, satisfies every little girl's yearning for a strong man.
The identity of the mother and daughter's settlement is still there, so it will not be a problem to bring Qu Jianlei and the two into the city.
However, right at the gate of the city, two trucks carrying the Wolf King were surrounded on the spot.
These are all well-informed forces. They knew that the supply depot was besieged by wolves the night before yesterday.
Everyone knows that the deal for the big wolf king has been concluded, but... isn't there a smaller one?
Fortunately, Cindy lived in the Zhousan settlement for a long time, and she said very simply: We want to sell in the settlement.
In the wasteland, strong strength is the best protection. Without Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi, Cindy would not dare to speak like this.
Now everyone who gathered around knew that it was these two who killed two wolf kings and allowed the people at the supply station to escape death.
In the face of such a powerful existence, who dares to nag?
The guard at the city gate didn't even let the two of them take off their hijabs, let alone check their identities, and let them in directly.
In their words, this is a hero who saved many survivors, and his identity is not important.
If they hadn't killed the Wolf King at the supply depot and defeated the Frost Wolves, the surrounding wild camps would have suffered the same fate.
When the wolves are leaderless, they will no longer maintain such a large pack. Once dispersed, the wild camp will be much easier to defend.
People in settlements look down on the savages in wild camps, but they are all human after all, right?
Without adventurers in the wild, the safety and supplies of settlements cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, the attitude of the guards is easy to understand. Off-road light trucks can enter the city with guns and ammunition.
They were even very polite to Cindy.
After entering the city, Cindy took the two of them to the cold storage, rented a compartment to put down the Wolf King, and then went to collect another Wolf King fee.
There is no pretense of slap in the face, and the master who can kill the Frost Wolf King will take the risk and provoke him?
Then Cindy approached the fang man and said that the wolf king would be auctioned tomorrow - the wasteland also had similar rules to ensure maximum profits.
Then she took them both on a shopping spree, but what made Qu Jianlei a little unhappy was that the energy blocks here were very expensive.
When he was in the Hongwu settlement, he purchased energy blocks for the equivalent of seventy silver dollars each, but here they actually cost one hundred and ten silver dollars.
Even with this price, the energy block store still said: Because you killed the Wolf King, they gave you a discount!
——————
Chapter 76 The Treatment of Masters (Fourth Update Congratulations to Brother Baiyin Mengbangzi 3/5)
Qu Jianlei was quite dissatisfied with the price of energy blocks. This time he planned to buy fifty energy blocks.
At this time, 5,500 silver dollars went out, and the wolf king was beaten in vain? New
If you buy it in Hongwu, 3,500 silver dollars will be enough. Here and here... there is a difference of 2,000 silver dollars?
It is true that he used gold when he bought it at the Hongwu settlement, but the price difference is too big, right?
He glanced at Hua Scorpion, who couldn't help but said, "Shouldn't the energy block be one hundred silver dollars?"
"Where did you get this news?" The people in the store were also puzzled, "It's normal for retail sales to be 120 or 130."
Cindy hurriedly explained, "You may purchase through different channels. Zhou San purchased at this price."
"It's not just Zhou San, but the entire Zhou Zi settlement is like this," the manager of the energy block store answered simply.
He did not question the other party's words, but simply said, "If it's too expensive, you can use the original channel."
"The price given to us by the above is this. If I sell it cheaply, I will have to make up for the shortfall myself."
Hua Scorpion rolled his eyes, "Is it feasible for us to buy a little more and go out and resell it at a higher price?"
"That's up to you," the supervisor replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'll give you a discount, and it's just this one time."
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi exchanged glances, and then said, "Then let's discuss it again."
After walking out of the store, he couldn't help but ask Cindy, "Why are the energy blocks so expensive?"
Cindy gave him a puzzled look, "Isn't it expensive? Energy blocks are really popular, and the official price you mentioned is impossible."
"How could this happen?" Hua Scorpion frowned, "Are their energy blocks bigger?"
Cindy shook her head, "It can't be big, the laser gun eats up energy blocks... You are not from the settlement outside Zhouzi, are you?"
"No," Hua Scorpion replied simply, "It's just that when we purchased energy blocks before, the price was one hundred silver dollars."
Cindy did not doubt her words. Her late husband was a squad leader during his lifetime, so she knew that there were settlements outside Zhouzi.
But that's all she knew. It was said that it was difficult to come here in settlements with other prefixes.
So she asked, "In this case, why don't you buy from that channel again?"
"That man is dead," Hua Xiezi replied calmly, "Other people...we can't trust him."
"Then there's probably something in it," Cindy said without doubting this statement. Isn't it normal for people to die in the wasteland?
She didn't make random inquiries, she just suggested in a regular manner, "But you can take advantage of this discount and make some 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."
I thought of it! Qu Jianlei nodded secretly after hearing this. Teaming up with Hua Xiezi would indeed save a lot of worry.
Having Cindy leading the way is different after all. Moreover, she once had some status and knew a little more than the average resident.
In fact, she had some doubts in her heart: the other party actually gave priority to buying books, and there might be something wrong with the origin.
However, during these years of her downfall, she has mastered enough survival wisdom: don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!
Anyway, no one has ever given her a hundred silver dollars at a time. Just for this reward, she will keep her mouth shut.
After a lot of fuss, they actually bought more than two hundred books at very favorable prices.
What's especially rare is that I actually bought some reference books, including books on repairing robotic arms.
Qu Jianlei was immediately attracted and actually started watching it while sitting in the car.
He has never been very satisfied with the transformation of the transport mecha. The strength is just okay. The key is that the energy conversion rate is too low.
If he hadn't discovered the geothermal cave by chance, he and Hua Scorpion would probably not have been able to get out of the mountain with just that little energy block.
Seeing him flipping through the maintenance knowledge book, Cindy raised her eyebrows in surprise: Does this person even know this?
In the Zhouzi settlement area, people with such professional skills must have inherited them, and they will never be leaked easily.
The saying that "teacher's disciples starve their masters to death" is almost universally accepted in the wasteland.
Since you can survive by relying on craftsmanship without taking risks... and your life is not bad, why should you cultivate competitors?
The next moment, she thought of what she had to do again, "Lord Huang Xiezi, can I move out of Zhou San's resident status?"
"Identity for moving out of the settlement?" Hua Xiezi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
She is not Qu Jianlei, she is still very familiar with this routine, "You should consider this yourself, where do you plan to move to?"
The identity of a settlement is hard to come by, but it is possible to change the identity between settlements with the same prefix.
Various environments and conditions vary significantly between settlements.
It is understandable that some people need to change places for their own development or other reasons - talent flow must be allowed!
It's just that moving out is easy. When you move in, you'll probably have to pay some fees, unless it's an obvious "downward move."
"I don't have a favorite place," Cindy replied simply, "Wherever the two adults suggest, that's the place."
She just wants to escape from this city. Anyway, there are formal procedures and it is not difficult to move elsewhere.
"We don't have any suggestions," Hua Xiezi said simply. She knew that the other party meant to show loyalty by saying this.
The orphaned and widowed mother left the place she was familiar with and wandered around the world with two people of unknown origin, taking her identity with her.
This is a bet that the two of them will do well!
So all she can say is, "It doesn't matter if you don't move out. You can wait a few years and come back with your daughter."
"We don't want to stay in this disgusting place anymore," Cindy said calmly, "We want to change the environment and start our life again."
"Then we'll discuss it when the time comes," Hua Scorpion said, thinking that the other party was also an adult, so he could stop giving his suggestions.
But in the end, she couldn't help but said, "It's very risky to stay with us all the time."
Cindy didn't even raise her eyelids and replied calmly, "Where is there no risk?"
Claire didn't have any objections to leaving Zhou San, but was rather looking forward to it.
"You don't have to go through the moving-out procedures, right? You still have to spend money... We can be wild adventurers."
Seeing her eagerness to try, Qu Jianlei suddenly said in his mind, "If you don't wear the sword properly, you will be in trouble when you go out."
Is an adventurous life really attractive to young people?
But Cindy obviously didn't think so, and scolded her with a sullen face, including words such as "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 going through the move-out procedures, we encountered some twists and turns, and the person in charge actually persuaded Cindy to think twice.
Cindy was quite surprised by this persuasion. She felt that she was not so popular.
Sure enough, the other party then suggested that since you have come into contact with a strong person, instead of following him, it is better to leave him behind.
Zhou San Settlement promised that if Qu Jianlei and his wife really want to move in, all handling fees will be waived, and the head tax will be exempted for ten years.
The poll tax is collected in every settlement. In most cases, people under ten years old are free of charge, and those between ten and sixteen years old pay half the price.
This is meant to encourage childbirth, but for most residents, the head tax of one silver dollar per year is really not cheap.
Claire has been charged a head tax for two years. Although it is half price, it is still only one silver dollar.
Cindy works alone to support two people, and also has to pay a poll tax. You can imagine the pressure.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help it anymore, "Do you think we are ten silver dollars short?"
"Gun licenses and things like that... do cost money," the other person said, but he had a good attitude.
Qu Jianlei and his wife didn't charge anything for their trip to the city this time, but it was only because of his meritorious service that they were exempted.
To put it simply, if you want to have various rights in a settlement, you have to pay various fees.
Hua Scorpion asked calmly, "What if we don't have a move-out certificate?"
"Without a move-out certificate...this is difficult," the other party said, a little embarrassed.
He didn't think that the other party definitely didn't have a move-out certificate. The owner who could buy an energy block for 100 silver dollars would lack a certificate?
That's right, Zhou San's settlement is really not big. For well-informed people, there is no privacy at all.
He believed that the other party was just concealing his origins, which was not uncommon—real masters did not want to be disturbed.
So he said frankly, "If you two can guarantee to serve in the Zhousan City Guards for ten years..."
“Not only can we waive the need for a move-out certificate, but we can also provide a place to live for free.”
"Of course, not everything will be done by the two of us. We will occasionally conduct inspections, and we will only ask the two for major tasks."
These people have a good understanding of the mentality of strong people. Strong people will not be afraid of trouble, but no one likes trouble.
Is there a talent introduction plan for the wasteland version? Qu Jianlei’s thinking is a bit divergent.
But this is really not a surprise. This is a place where the strong are respected.
It is difficult for ordinary survivors to obtain the identity of a settlement, but those with real strength really don't have to worry.
For a moment, he was in a daze. He was in Hongsi at that time, and it was difficult to get the status of a settlement!
But now, someone actually took the initiative to deliver it to my door.
"It's better to avoid it," Hua Scorpion expressed his position, "We just like to wander around..."
"A small settlement status wants to tie us up for ten years. It's really wishful thinking."
Claire's eyes were filled with stars when she heard this. This kind of happy life is what she wants to pursue.
Although her father was great, he was too submissive and would have to bear the blame even if he died. She didn't want such a useless life.
The person on the other side wasn't angry either, he just said calmly, "Cindy, I've always been good to you, I hope you won't be so impulsive."
Cindy replied expressionlessly, "It's true that you haven't bullied me, but I don't owe you anything either."
