The day before starting work, Qiao Qiao had a dream. In her dream, the world ended! Smog, torrential rain, extreme cold, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, extreme heat, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions…...
Chapter 55: On the Eve of the Mission (Second Update!) Extreme Cold...
"Qiao Qiao, Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao, you are here?"
When I turned around, I found it was Tang Zhijie.
"Brother Tang, you didn't go home?"
Tang Zhijie: "Well, I've been busy lately, so I just live in the bureau. Are you here to trade cards?"
Qiao Qiao nodded, "Yes, take the task by the way."
Tang Zhijie said: "There are quite a few tasks recently, you can try to take them."
Qiao Qiao looked at the task bar and saw that there were indeed quite a few people gathered in front of it.
"You guys go trade cards and take quests first. You can come over later if it's convenient. The three people who traded cards last time are here too. They brought a lot of cards this time. See if you need any."
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up. She had plenty of supplies, so she could take down the opponent no matter how many cards he had.
The same girl from last time was still at the information desk.
Deng Zhouse recognized at a glance that these three people were the ones who traded R-level cards last time. After all, those who work here and can trade R-level cards are not simple, so naturally he has to memorize their identities and appearances.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"I'm here to trade cards. Do you have any SR-level cards?" Although Qiao Qiao didn't think the Special Management Bureau had cards of this level to hand out, she asked casually just in case.
Deng Zhouse's heart trembled. As expected, she was not wrong. Someone who could easily trade R-level cards might be extraordinary. He even dared to ask about SR-level cards.
"Sorry, we don't have any SR-level cards yet, but we have a few new R-level cards. Would you like to take a look?"
Qiao Qiao thought that was exactly what was happening and took the tablet to check it out.
Indeed, the number of R-level cards is much higher than last time, with eight pages of cards in total. However, most of them are resource cards, and there are only four cards with special attributes.
[R-level card backpack expansion card * 1] × 2
[R-rank card gun*1]
[Firearm: can store 100 units of flame, each shot consumes 1 unit]
【R-class card automatic livestock feeding machine*1】
[Automatic poultry and livestock feeding machine: only add sufficient raw materials and water during the first use, and the poultry and livestock feces and urine can be automatically converted into a nutritious food source afterwards, without the need for secondary operation]
(Inventor: Zhonggu Xing Agricultural College)
The Wall-Climbing Card I saw last time is gone. It must have been traded away by someone else.
She currently has four R-level resource cards, and the backpack expansion card and automatic livestock feeder must be traded.
But there is a card that contains 100 units of oil, which I don't want to trade unless necessary.
Qiao Qiao pondered for a while, "Dad, Mom, do you want a musket?"
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou immediately understood Qiao Qiao's idea. Qiao Xinghe said, "We don't need it. We have enough weapons at the moment. Your mother has a frying pan, and I have a shield."
Qiao Huizhou added, "No need to trade the muskets. We'll go see what cards those three guys have in a bit."
"All right."
Qiao Qiao handed Deng Zhouse three R-level cards and 15 N-level cards.
[R-grade honeycomb briquettes * 100]
[R-level card ice cube * 1000]
[R-level Wood Card*1 (100 units)]
[N-level card safety pants * 20]
[N-grade card silk six-piece bedding set]
[N-level card 12 zodiac blind box set]
…
Deng Zhouse took the stack of cards with trembling hands, not knowing what language could express his thoughts.
So scary!
This is the first time since the establishment of the Special Administration Bureau that three R-level cards have been traded in one go.
“I have to build a good relationship with her.”
Deng Zhouse quickly completed the transaction and respectfully handed over the three R-level cards with both hands.
"Hello, the transaction has been completed. The time for the three card transactions is tomorrow. Would you like to renew the contract?"
Qiao Qiao gave the backpack expansion card to Qiao Huizhou and kept the automatic livestock feeding machine for himself.
"Renew the contract and accept the mission."
Deng Zhouse smiled, "Okay, you can go to the mission area first, choose the appropriate mission and take it off directly, then come here to register."
Qiao Qiao nodded, "Okay, thank you."
"My name is Dengzhouse."
Qiao Qiao turned around and for the first time looked closely at this girl who had a bright smile and looked particularly gentle.
In contrast to his gentle appearance, his eyes are full of ambition.
Qiao Qiao smiled. She didn't care if someone used her to climb the ladder, as long as it didn't harm her own interests.
She replied seriously, word for word, "I remember it, Dengzhou Se."
Then he clearly felt that the smile on Deng Zhouse's face changed instantly. It looked almost the same, but it seemed particularly sincere, as if he had taken off a layer of fake skin.
The task board on the left is filled with tasks such as going out to clean up mutated animals and plants. The location levels and even rewards are posted, but most of them are in the infancy stage, with only a few in the growth stage.
The rewards are also generous. The "SR-level card drawing ticket" seems to have been posted for quite some time, and it is unclear why it has not been picked up.
"I advise you not to take this." A cold voice of a girl came from the side.
Qiao Qiao looked over and saw that the man was wearing a tight combat uniform inside and a down jacket outside.
Without makeup, she has naturally sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and she looks particularly heroic with a masculine appearance. People can't help but want to approach her, but they dare not.
Qiao Qiao looked at her in confusion, "Why? This reward looks great."
The girl raised her chin slightly with a grim expression.
"Do you know the risks behind this kind of mission? Although the mission is to clean up mutant plants and animals in their infancy and growth stages, the situation in that area is very complicated.
Coupled with the recent bad weather, many fearless people who went there before never came back. SR-level card draw tickets are indeed very tempting, but you have to be alive to get them."
Qiao Qiao was shocked. She didn't expect that there was such danger hidden behind this mission.
Come to think of it, the weather conditions were never this bad when she hunted mutant animals and plants before.
The mutant plants Ghost Willow and mutant rats were both successfully hunted during the gray fog period. Wearing protective clothing can isolate one from all impacts of natural disasters.
Although the mutant fish was affected by the heavy rain, the success was due to the help of Tang Mingli and Tang Zhijie, as well as good luck. Even so, the three of them almost failed.
Or maybe the previous actions were too smooth, and she felt a little relaxed because of the presence of Qiao Man and Qiao Yueying.
Sure enough, she should be more cautious. She is no longer a barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes. It would be very unfortunate if she capsized in the ditch.
However, the attraction of SR-level cards was too strong, and she frowned. "But the Special Administration Bureau shouldn't issue missions that will definitely lead to death, right?"
The girl sneered, "The Special Management Bureau also has intelligence errors or deliberately conceals information due to certain circumstances. My name is Lin Yue, and I'm giving you a reminder. Believe it or not."
After saying that, Lin Yue turned around and left in a casual manner.
Qiao Qiao looked at her back and fell into deep thought.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou also heard what Lin Yue said just now.
Qiao Xinghe said: "My dear, let's think carefully about this mission. We have SR-level cards, so there's no need to take the risk."
Qiao Huizhou also nodded in agreement.
Qiao Qiao smiled and pushed them away, "I know, don't worry, Mom and Dad, I won't take any mission casually."
Although she said this, she was still a little unwilling in her heart. However, she couldn't act rashly in this matter, and needed to plan carefully before taking action. She secretly wrote down all the information.
After looking at several task boards, Qiao Qiao finally chose to escort ordinary people to nearby areas to mine. He only needed to escort them to the designated location for handover. This task only required one person.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou chose to take on a mission together, and went with the federal soldiers to explore a previously undeveloped resource point. This mission usually did not require the participation of card drawers, but was just to guard against the existence of mutant plants and animals.
Although Qiao Qiao was a little worried about her parents, they wanted to act together, so she did not continue to object.
"Why don't you take Qiao Man with you?"
Qiao Huizhou patted Qiao Qiao's head gently, "Don't make trouble, your parents are already so old, why do you still need to worry about them? The two of us can take care of each other, it's more dangerous for you to be alone."
"All right."
Both missions will start at 7am tomorrow.
Take off the task and go to the information desk.
Qiao Huizhou was still a little worried about his daughter going out on her own, so he asked, "Are there any unexpected things in this mission?"
After Deng Zhouse checked and confirmed the mission, he scanned the black bracelets on the wrists of the three people.
"Don't worry, the army is involved in the escort mission, and the card drawers are just a precautionary measure. The danger level is not high."
Qiao Huizhou nodded.
"Let's go over there." Qiao Qiao pointed at Tang Zhijie and the three people he met last time who were sitting in the rest area.
"Long time no see. How have you been?" Li Mo greeted respectfully.
The three of them sat down, and Qiao Xinghe greeted them, "Everything is fine, how about you guys?"
"good."
After a few polite words, we got down to business.
Fang Hui took out six cards. "Here are six R-level cards, namely 3 backpack expansion cards, 1 musket, 20 kilograms of special food for mutant animals, and 1 special heat-resistant suit."
Qiao Qiao looked at Tang Zhijie.
"We need two backpack expansion cards, and there is no urgent need for the rest."
Fang Hui and the other two became anxious after hearing this. If they only traded two R-level cards, it would definitely not be enough. So...
Qiao Qiao nodded and looked at the cards. "Okay, I'll take the rest."
Shu Ying blurted out in surprise, "What!"
Qiao Qiao raised an eyebrow, "What's the problem?"
Li Mo waved his hand quickly, "No problem, no problem. Four cards have a total of 1,200 supplies. What do you think?"
Qiao Qiao looked around and said, "Let's do the deal now. Is this convenient?"
Tang Zhijie stood up and said, "Let's go to the private room."
The group followed Tang Zhijie to the 17th floor, and only then did they know what the place looked like.
Unlike the downstairs which has no partitions, the 17th floor is full of private rooms, about dozens of them.
Tang Zhijie came to a private room with an "open" sign on the door, which was about ten square meters.
After arriving at the box, Qiao Qiao selected and took out the supplies from the system backpack.
A total of 100 small breads, 300 compressed biscuits, 300 bamboos, 200 coals, and 300 small bottles of drinking water.
Various abundant resources were piled up like mountains, leaving Fang Hui and the other two stunned.
They had never seen such a large reserve of supplies, and they were in awe of Qiao Qiao's strength and began to rethink Qiao Qiao's background.
In their opinion, supplies of this magnitude could not be provided by one individual, and they must represent a certain force.
After the transaction was successfully completed, Qiao Qiao gave the newly acquired backpack expansion card to his mother, the musket to his weaponless father, and kept the special food for mutant animals and the special heat-proof clothing for himself.
Fang Hui was a little reserved. "It's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we will have the opportunity to continue our cooperation in the future."
Qiao Xinghe shook hands with him, "Of course."
