"Gold?"

“That’s right, it’s gold, and those high-end jewelry. The food we eat doesn’t just appear out of thin air; it’s all obtained through exchange. If we want a continuous supply of food, I must acquire gold and jewelry so that I can use these things to exchange for more food to provide for everyone.”

"Since you've said so, what are we waiting for? Let's go into town."

"But I don't know if there are any gangs like the Mad Sand Gang in the city. If we go in like this, it will probably be very dangerous, and someone might even die."

"It's okay, we have guns. As long as we're careful, we should be fine."

"Maybe. How about we rest here for the night and let me think it over."

"Okay, you can think about it slowly. I'm going to help them set up their tents!"

"Um!"

Officer Miao said goodbye to Wang Bin and went to help everyone set up their tents.

After Officer Miao left, Wang Bin sat alone on a large rock on the mountaintop, looking at the distant, somber city.

In the past, he would have gone to the city without hesitation to collect gold and jewelry, but now that he has Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao by his side, he feels it is his responsibility to protect the safety of each of them.

If he doesn't collect gold and jewelry, he can't participate in the lottery in the system. He urgently needs to replenish his ammunition, but the only way to obtain ammunition at present is through the system lottery.

However, each lottery draw requires 100 kilograms of gold, which is no small sum. Even after spending 100 kilograms of gold, there's only a 50% chance of winning an item. Furthermore, even if you win an item, there's no guarantee it will be something you need. Like last time, you actually won spicy strips. 100 kilograms of gold for just a bag of spicy strips—it's infuriating!

Fortunately, the system also brought him good news. The system only needs to spend 50,000 kilograms of gold to upgrade once. After the upgrade, the system will develop a system mall, and he will be able to directly exchange gold and jewelry for goods. Therefore, he urgently needs to find 50,000 kilograms of gold to upgrade the system.

Torn between the system and the safety of everyone else, Wang Bin was truly torn.
