Chapter 188: Team Friendship
At 1 PM, the team stopped to rest. The forward mileage had just reached 35km. Catching bats to give as gifts delayed some time, and today’s mission progress was a bit slow.
“How about it, don’t you feel much better now!” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy patted Strawberry Candy’s shoulder.
Strawberry Candy looked at her companion’s bright and generous expression and felt warmth in her heart, but immediately after, she thought of the previous battle.
“Everyone’s vehicles just now had a lot of wear and tear increase. I’ll make up for it with repair cards.”
She calculated that she could upgrade her vehicle later and should be able to make up for some losses for her teammates.
“Don’t overthink it. I have several repair cards that you gave me at friendly prices.” Yu Jiang smiled. “If you really want to make up for something, we’ll lead the merchant caravan these few days and open boxes on the road.”
She said this because she was afraid Strawberry Candy would feel bad about it and keep dwelling on it.
“Mm.” Strawberry Candy nodded seriously.
“I saw that guy has a lot of good things in hand. The warning item is pretty good.” Yu Jiang propped up her chin.
From the moment she blacklisted the opponent’s main force, things couldn’t be let go lightly.
Yu Jiang had already asked Purple Butt Can Do It to scout if there were any prop cards that could track instances.
Otherwise, why would she have to take the risk and put in so much effort to fight first? If she just wanted to mess with the opponent, she could have sent the bat and moths and left.
At this moment on the public screen, A Thousand Lamps Exhaust Snow and the others were still calling for medicinal herbs. Yu Jiang switched to the trading platform and saw very few quantities, with high prices.
Merchant caravans might also release them all at once, so they had to ensure their stock first.
Heartless Water and their group hadn’t had a good time these past two days. Health value dropped but they wouldn’t die; it was just uncomfortable, and they still had to pay high prices to hire alchemists with purification skills.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiang asked about the level-up situation of the 188 college boy in Han Jiang Gu Ying’s team.
“Sister Jiang, I haven’t gotten the level four alchemist achievement yet. Medicinal herb processing and finished medicine refining success rates are also a bit low.” The 188 college boy replied.
“No rush. Being able to heal is good enough.” That’s what Yu Jiang said.
Level 3 alchemist is currently second echelon. Survival isn’t a big problem, but they can’t select team instances with higher difficulty.
The team won’t abandon companions. If they really can’t keep up with progress, they can go to the merchant caravan’s instance team.
Yu Jiang and the others ate something. Their just-recovered stamina was used up again when they encountered monsters.
When they teamed up, their attack power was unquestionable. The mutant centipede had just poked its head out from the tree wanting to attack quietly from behind when its body lifted, and ping-pang-pong a barrage of output smashed onto it.
Electrified and charred ones, ones pierced through by the long saber, and ones stuck with several arrows. Yu Jiang holding the bayonet with the shortest attack range didn’t even get a hit on the monster.
The centipede legs on the ground twitched, as if saying, encountering you few plague gods, we’re unlucky.
“These things when charred by electricity smell pretty good, feels crunchy.” Lightning Mage King eyed the pitch-black big centipede on the ground.
Their defense was really strong. It took several shocks to knock off 45 health points. Still needed teammates to supplement attacks.
Yu Jiang turned her head and saw Lightning Mage King looking like he really wanted to taste a bite, so she silently made way.
“Here, I have intermediate detox pills. Eat one, then we’ll study if it can be used medicinally.”
“.” Lightning Mage King shook his head and said sincerely, “Sister Jiang, I’m afraid one bite and I’m done.”
Yu Jiang circled the monster corpses a few times, scanned them repeatedly with the light screen, confirmed they weren’t the kind that could be used medicinally, and sighed deeply.
Before at the service area, buying medicine with centipedes still cost crystal coins. These mutants only grew bigger, not more useful.
After this little interlude, the team continued forward.
Yu Jiang activated pyrethrum to gather in the dense forest. Teammates handled grinding monsters, she gathered supplies, then they’d split them together later.
Good luck today. They picked up two silver boxes. Besides sterile underwear sets, canned food and other daily survival supplies and upgrade materials.
Also got a level 6 component card, a pack of anti-miasma masks, total 12, each usable for 12 hours, and one water collector upgrade part.
Shi Xu needed parts, Yu Jiang needed the component card. Masks divided among the other four teammates, remaining survival supplies and materials also split more among the four of them.
Gem boxes are also found on the road, with better things inside, but the probability of encountering them is too small. Yu Jiang had only picked one up once; it’s rare.
Completed today’s mileage task, already 5 PM. Leaving the parallel road before nightfall was impossible, so they pulled over and parked directly.
Yu Jiang sat in the RV blowing the Four-leaf Clover fan, ate an apple to supplement some vitamins.
In such harsh conditions, after completing the mission, sitting down to rest, eating something, was the most comfortable and relaxed time of the day.
Driving the vehicle 80km wasn’t tiring, but going out to find supplies and fight monsters was extremely stamina-consuming. Even wearing quick-drying clothes, the body was always half-soaked in sweat, sticky and stuffy.
High body consumption meant high energy needs. Relying only on compressed biscuits and protein blocks was hard to satisfy. The cheap smelly snake meat was currently the cheapest fresh meat, cheaper than meat canned food, otherwise who would buy it.
Looking at the public screen, snake meat sold pretty well. Whether it tasted good or not wasn’t a concern for those struggling on the survival line; staying alive was enough.
Han Jiang Gu Ying and Desert Eagle also sold some. Snake gallbladders as medicinal herbs went to Yu Jiang.
Yu Jiang was browsing for cost-effective items to buy when she saw someone on the public screen selling unopened supply boxes.
Jade Faced Calabash Baby: [Wooden box 80 crystal coins, iron box 160 crystal coins, limited quantity, first come first served, it’s all about the thrill, gamble and turn your motorcycle into a jeep.
Only 3 iron boxes left, system trade, everyone can check yourselves, absolutely unopened, what you get is luck, no returns once sold.]
This person was pretty patient, hoarding so many boxes without opening them?
Yu Jiang clicked to check; they were indeed unopened. If it were her, she couldn’t leave even one box unopened overnight.
On the public screen, quite a few people had the same thought as her.
Luò Tuó Xiángzi: [No way? Someone’s willing to sell unopened boxes?]
Player7549: [Bro, how did you hoard a full 8 wooden boxes? Can you make it cheaper? Wooden boxes might not yield 80 crystal coins worth of supplies.]
Jade Faced Calabash Baby: [I also saved for several days. Can’t go cheaper or I’d lose money. Already sold two wooden boxes, get them quick!]
After a while, buyer feedback came.
Shen Xian Xian Er: [Wow, got 1 protective mask, one beef canned food, one bottle of mineral water! Better than the wooden box I picked up today after getting bitten all over by insects. I’ll take another one.]
Jade Faced Calabash Baby: [Should’ve opened this one myself. Sigh, I wasn’t that lucky when I opened them.]
Once this person said what supplies came out, many onlooker players got tempted. Outside everywhere giant insects, and in the forest all sorts of invisible small poisonous insects. Not everyone dares to get out and pick supplies.
If they could get some good stuff, no worries for the next few days.
“The price isn’t too outrageous. Should I buy one to try?” Lightning Mage King tilted his head in thought.
“I’d advise caution.” Kuang Kuang Kuang pointed to the info above and said, “Doesn’t this look like a shill?”
