Chapter 162: 100 Crystal Coins Shopping Voucher
Crew Cut Man was speechless.
The main reason was that he understood the other side had a team with considerable strength, not something ordinary people could provoke, so he naturally started lecturing on reason.
The expression on the female player’s face clearly said that if he didn’t lecture on reason, she knew a bit of hand-to-hand combat.
After a brief silence, the sportswear player looked at the blackened electric mosquito swatter in Yu Jiang’s hand with eyes gleaming,
“Does your electric mosquito swatter need repair? My profession is primary repairman. I can’t fix complex items, but this one I can.”
“That’s great. If you can fix it, would insect bite cream as reward be okay?” Yu Jiang handed the item over.
The electric mosquito swatter’s wear and tear was 98%. She had felt it sparking a bit when using it earlier; without repair, it would be useless later.
“Really? Insect bite cream as reward?!?!” The sportswear player asked again in disbelief.
He thought earning some food and water would be great already; he didn’t even dare think about scarce supplies like insect bite cream.
Yu Jiang nodded.
“Deal! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fix it for you!”
The sportswear player had encountered such a generous boss; he cherished this opportunity and immediately opened his shabby toolbox, selected suitable tools, and started repairing.
The other three looked on with envious eyes; professions that could make money were great.
The player who had just been stung into a sausage mouth still spoke a bit unclearly,
“Can you sell me some later? Just a bit to reduce the swelling; I’ll trade a can of dried sausage.”
The sportswear player thought for a moment, “I can only share a little with you.”
Insect bite cream was so precious; using a bit meant one less bit, and who knew if he could find more next time.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Yu Jiang, “My stats are average, but my profession is somewhat useful. Can I join your team later?”
It was too hard for lone players with weak combat ability: no news if there was no news, and those easily obtainable achievements and missions basically weren’t for them; on the road, bullied by others, they could only endure their own anger.
A team like this girl’s: as soon as something was spotted on the road, they immediately sent their own people over; others didn’t even know what was happening before they had claimed the reward.
Having a good team, even just to sip some soup, would be fine.
“Our team can’t take more people.” Yu Jiang naturally wouldn’t casually let roadside players join; adding as a friend was okay. She changed the subject,
“But you can try the merchant caravan; there are plenty of non-combat profession players there.”
While speaking, she had already sent the other an invitation to join the friend channel.
This person could repair tools; there might be dealings in the future.
The sportswear player, nickname Beat Lemon, felt a bit disappointed at the polite refusal, but the next moment an invitation message arrived.
Seeing the nickname above, he thought his eyes were playing tricks and blinked hard, looked again at the RV parked roadside, and then his heart surged with wild joy.
He had met a real big shot! Last night he was still regretting being too slow to grab medicine, and today he met the big shot herself; no wonder she could offer insect bite cream.
The big shot’s friend channel—countless players outside wanted to join; he heard trading supplies got priority. He had to repair this electric mosquito swatter perfectly!
During the wait, Yu Jiang checked the forest exploration again to see the other three teammates’ mission status.
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire swung a few axes, directly knocking down the humanoid honeycomb; a dense swarm of poison bees poured out.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy’s suona sounded, controlling them in midair in neat formation—a spectacular sight. Then the tune shifted, and the poison bees exhausted and fell shaking.
Yu Jiang covered her ears and sighed; as expected of the insect band conductor, so artistic.
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire’s skill could create a small whirlwind, linking with Pure Love Cockroach’s skill to gather poison bees around themselves, trapping them briefly unable to escape.
Then swinging two axes, chopping left and right; soon the ground around was littered with poison bee remains. Getting fired up, a passing red-eyed big rat also took a kick and was sent flying.
Lightning Mage King was even more flashy, wielding the pig herder while shouting awkward and chuunibyou slogans; his serious face showed how strong his sense of conviction was.
It had to be said, only someone with a beautiful mental state could use such a weapon; for anyone else, the monster wouldn’t be dead before their toes had dug out a three-bedroom apartment.
Everyone smoothly completed the mission within 10 minutes; the humanoid honeycomb was thoroughly cleared.
“Can your skill make these small monsters attack others?” Yu Jiang looked at Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy.
She shook her head, “Not really; I’ve tried, and it only shook off some of their health points.”
If it could do that, she couldn’t imagine how satisfying it would be.
“Since you can control them to line up and dance, theoretically controlling attacks should be possible.” Yu Jiang paused, then added, “After skill upgrade.”
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy nodded expectantly; she was going to grind!
Controlling small monsters to swarm down overwhelmingly—really cool!

Back on the road, Yu Jiang took the repaired electric mosquito swatter, checked it was fine, and gave the agreed reward to the other.
Everyone parted ways; Yu Jiang’s team also needed to use admission tickets to head to the profession-specific service area.
It was still early; they should arrive in the afternoon.
Yu Jiang sat in the driver’s seat and first checked the mission reward: 100 crystal coins shopping voucher, usable only through the system page, couldn’t go back into Raccoon Supermarket.
She sighed lightly; she had thought she could restock at Raccoon Supermarket again.
There was no buying or selling of shopping vouchers on the trading platform, but Yu Jiang had just asked Wholesale King Wang Defa; apparently powerful teams had some circulating, but they were very rare and expensive.
Selling a 100 crystal coins shopping voucher would at least double.
Before setting off, Yu Jiang used the shopping voucher; the supplies shown on the light screen were far fewer varieties than seen in the supermarket.
Could only use shopping voucher; excess couldn’t be settled, couldn’t buy with crystal coins in hand.
Mosquito coils and insecticide spray had risen in price.
Originally one mosquito coil or one can of insecticide spray was 100 crystal coins; now a third of a mosquito coil or ultra-small travel pack insecticide spray was also 100 crystal coins.
Yu Jiang recalled what Wholesale King Wang Defa said: several teams were collecting shopping vouchers to exchange for these two anti-insect supplies.
Compared to that, the supplies they bought in the supermarket last time were really a bargain; functional beverages and electrolyte water had also risen on the light screen.
Yu Jiang now understood how service areas like Raccoon Supermarket, which maybe only a few players could enter per month, earned crystal coins.
Turns out shopping vouchers could be used directly.
Yu Jiang flipped to the first page, looking at the discounted daily necessities; only these were a bit cheaper, the rest very expensive.
In the end, she bought two big bags of paper towels at 5-fold discount, total 20 crystal coins.
One set of food plastic portioning boxes for 5 crystal coins.
2-pack instant noodles *2, total 35 crystal coins.
With 40 crystal coins left, she bought a 250g bag of dried ginseng whiskers, material for crafting qi replenishing drink; no whole ginseng, but whiskers would do.
This kind of dried medicinal herb could also come out of copper boxes, worth 100 crystal coins per bag on the trading market.
The shopping voucher wasn’t even warm in her hands before she arranged it all clearly, not a single crystal coin left.
