Chapter 8: Shear The Wool To The End
Yu Jiang looked at the already scrapped television, used Wood*1, Iron Block*2, crafted Crowbar.
One minute later, she picked up the crowbar and started working, banging away to deplete the grayed-out health bar, recovered 2 Iron Blocks, one section of Wire.
Just like that, all the small things in sight that could be dismantled became materials.
Looking at her increasingly full backpack slots, Yu Jiang’s mouth curved into a grin that was hard to suppress.
Got rich, got rich!
The refrigerator’s health bar was too thick, each hit only reduced a little wear and tear, with Yu Jiang’s identity level, it would take 80 hits, fatigue value soaring.
Afraid of attracting zombies, she gave up.
Killing loner zombies was no problem, just afraid the movement would be too big, this parallel road side seemed like a town.
Thinking that the crystal coins in hand were less than a hundred, to make an even number, she ambushed and killed two zombies on the way back.
Crystal Coins 102, much more at ease now.
The place where the zombie fell only had one wall and a few cracked floor tiles left, even the toilet was rotten, no supplies, only dried human feces.
Yu Jiang didn’t hesitate, turned back and knocked off the stainless steel faucet, dismantled and recovered 1 Iron Block.
Even a mosquito is meat.
The main thing is not to come in vain.
Time was already 5:30 pm, overcast and rainy weather, sky darkening fast, looking out, large areas of ruins gradually shrouded in shadows.
This was the parallel area, dangerous not only monsters, but also people.
Yu Jiang didn’t hesitate, turned around and walked back, at the service area gate, inadvertently saw a calamus.
Dug it up roots and all.
This was also traditional Chinese medicine, keep it for sustainable development.
[Player obtained ‘Calamus’*1, can resolve dampness and harmonize stomach, open orifices and refresh mind, dispel phlegm and stimulate appetite, material for crafting medicine.]
Entering the service area, Yu Jiang saw mint and mugwort in the corner, easy to grab, took them along.
There was also a particularly vibrant pokeweed, used the gloves that held poisonous mushrooms before to pick some and stuff into backpack, can’t use now, doesn’t mean no use later.
The rabbit doll monster seeing this scene: .？？？
Collected her parking fee, and let her shear wool too!
Scavengers are terrifying like this, want everything, that mutated pokeweed is highly toxic!
She smiled like she was going to lick it.
Rabbit doll’s mouth twitched, dug plants, and she pulled out crowbar, this was just a rundown poor service area, simply outrageous!
Yu Jiang saw supplies everywhere in the service area that cost nothing, got excited.
She super liked it here!
Clang clang two hits, Yu Jiang smashed the health bars of the two scrap cars behind.
Iron Block+10, unusable old engine+1.
The trash can nearby looked good too, and the convenience store door, scrapped refueling facility.
“Stop knocking stop knocking!” Rabbit doll reached out to stop, said heartbrokenly,
“I’ll give you a blueprint! Plus waive one night’s parking fee! Can’t give more.”
“There’s such a good deal?” Yu Jiang put away the crowbar, clasped hands in front, smiled sweetly.
“Hmph!” Rabbit unhappily stuffed a scroll into her hand.
[Detox Pill, removes insect, plant toxin debuffs, cooldown 1 hour, requires Alchemist Level 2.]
[Player achieved new achievement ‘Shear Wool’, you actually freeloaded a Level 2 blueprint from the notoriously stingy service area, believe you can make the scavenging career big and strong, create glory again!
Reward: Crystal Coins+100, Free Stat Point 1]
Yu Jiang added the 1 point to Agility, speed boost means running faster, scavenging faster too.
However, something like Detox Pill, crafting level not low, always feel the described insects, plants are not ordinary things.
Yu Jiang circled the service area again, a bit regretful, didn’t see other plants that could be gathered.
Get medicine scroll, encounter corresponding materials, prompt will appear above.
But finding materials when using would lower efficiency, she always gathered and stocked recognized supplies first.
Yu Jiang could recognize so many medicinal plants, thanks to usual online science short videos, and the old man downstairs, he planted quite a few in the yard.
Yu Jiang took the unusable engine to the convenience store to recycle, got 20 crystal coins, then sorted the temporarily unusable materials.
Sellable ones listed on trading system, set price, prepaid 20 crystal coins as handling fee.
The rest categorized and stored, at this moment, a startled cry sounded from the side,
“Stop! That thing you’re holding is highly toxic! Can’t eat.”
Yu Jiang glanced at the pocket holding the knife, turned around calmly, “Mm, I know.”
Since entering parallel road, she set to hide her information.
Gao You looked at Yu Jiang’s calm expression, then at the pokeweed fruit in her hand, eyelid twitched.
He originally excitedly came to find someone to share a bath, walked over and saw it was a girl, couldn’t share.
Both sides sizing up each other’s vehicle parked in the corner.
Gao You thought, driving a tricycle about to fall apart, yet ran 200 km, not ordinary.
While Yu Jiang looking at his shaky tin coffin, oh no, living box with a layer of grass inside, somewhat silent.
Pure human power dragging a sheet metal and still this fast, has some strength, just not too smart.
Gao You proactively introduced his vehicle, “Though a bit cramped, safe to sleep in at night, your tricycle can upgrade a trailer too, I have some iron blocks, need them?”
Not easy to meet living person here, her tricycle missing a door panel, even wants poisonous fruit, help a bit if can.
Seeing his nickname somewhat familiar, Yu Jiang considered and spoke to remind,
“You already upgraded sheet metal, why not change to farm-use human-powered tricycle?
This trailer living box, hit twice and it’s gone, driving along and left with just a bicycle.”
Moreover he was human-powered, resistance up and can’t even run.
Hearing her say that, Gao You first stunned, then like suddenly enlightened, annoyed scratched head,
“When I saw could upgrade living box, didn’t think much, fully upgraded, dismantling redo too lossy, only recover half materials.”
An outdoor enthusiast, saw human-powered RV option and lost head.
Yu Jiang nodded, “Indeed, you should quickly upgrade to integrated truck bed. Resources short, can trade with me, those weird mushrooms on road, vibrant plants all ok.”
“I only have two puffball mushrooms.” Gao You said troubled.
This thing hard to find, he still wanted to keep for life-saving.
Yu Jiang’s eyes lit up, “Two healing potions, for your two mushrooms, how?”
2 Puffball Mushrooms, normally yield 4 healing potions, bad luck at least 3.
She needed to improve Alchemist achievement, all rely on own gathering progress too slow.
This skill to get max profit, gotta grind, level lead required.
“Really?! You have healing potions?! This trade you won’t lose too much?” Gao You asked again.
“Have them, want to trade?” Yu Jiang didn’t answer his question.
Though other party seemed very friendly, she didn’t want to reveal more messages.
