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 81 A-level mission is extremely hot
[Congratulations on obtaining the SR-level card magic wand]
[Magic Wand: A special staff for specific people, can learn 6 basic magic]
Qiao Qiao took it. The staff had a simple appearance and was only 25 centimeters long. It was impossible to tell what it was made of, but it smelled like a peculiar pine wood.
Then, six pieces of parchment appeared on the system screen, with basic magic spells written on them.
Wind Blade, Levitation, Fireball, Water Blade, Ground Spikes, Ice Shield.
Qiao Qiao sat up straight. The existence of the magic wand meant that she finally had a powerful weapon.
Although Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man also belong to her, they are not her own strength after all, and Yueying has independent thoughts.
"The spell is so difficult to pronounce." Qiao Qiao looked at the font on the parchment, which was obviously Latin or Old English. She was grateful to the system for transliterating it.
"Levitation, Levitation, Fireball, Ignis Globus, Water Blade, Aqua Gladius..."
Before going to bed at night, Qiao Qiao opened the chat channel to see what was happening outside.
Unexpectedly, what came in front of me was the notice posted at the top by the Northeast Federation.
"The Northeastern Federation encourages residents to clean up mosquitoes on their own initiative. Five kilograms of mosquitoes can be traded for one contribution point. The time limit is 30 days."
As soon as this message was released, the mosquitoes outside were no longer a plague. They were truly a benefactor, a pie in the sky!
Some people just saw the notification, and either picked up homemade equipment or went to the trade mall to buy insecticide items.
Suddenly, there were huge crowds of people outside. Everyone seemed to be crazy, with no trace of the sad faces they had before when facing the insect plague.
"What's the point of the federal government buying up mosquitoes? They used to buy up garbage."
"I know about this garbage. Someone won an R-level card garbage processor that can convert garbage into food and water."
“It should be making food.”
"Food?! How do bugs make food?"
"Bug cakes, even though they look scary and disgusting, they're actually quite delicious. There are places in the southwest region that eat bugs, so it's nothing to be surprised about."
"Yeah, it's the end of the world. We've already eaten grass roots and tree bark, so eating some bugs is nothing. If there were bug cakes during the rainstorm, my parents wouldn't have starved to death."
For the next month, people hid in the shade during the day to avoid the heat and went out with torches at night to catch mosquitoes.
Some people were lucky enough to win the sugar water and could catch hundreds of kilograms of insects a day, making others jealous.
Some old people who are unable to go out due to lack of mobility will make insect traps. They can earn a lot of money by trading one trap for one contribution point.
Qiao Qiao and her parents stay at home every day, eating ice cream and enjoying the air conditioning, looking so carefree.
330th day of doomsday.
We harvested a full 100 kilograms of rice from the sunroom and put it in the living room to dry while the weather was hot.
The planter is replanting strawberries.
The 334th day of doomsday.
Extreme heat has arrived for two months, with the temperature outside remaining around 60 degrees Celsius, and people's demand for anti-heat medicines and items has further increased.
Qiao Qiao puts a batch of anti-heat medicine on the shelves every week, but unfortunately it is still a drop in the bucket for the whole country, and people can be seen dying of heat every day.
She also saw the need for familiar IDs to trade things just as often.
Ji Ling would put thousands of servings of summer-cooling soup on the shelves almost every few days, and she reasonably wondered whether the other party had turned into an emotionless soup-making machine.
Each of the three members of the Qiao family got two chances to draw ten cards in a row. Qiao Huizhou drew two R-level cards, and Qiao Qiao and Qiao Xinghe each drew one.
Air conditioning card*2, solar shield*1, fully automatic flying tiger claw*1.
Qiao Qiao drew 6 R-level cards from the blind box, and the rest were N-level cards.
For the copy card this month I chose to copy Solar Shield.
The federal underground shelter plan, which had been stalled for more than a month, has been restarted, with half of the people working on the construction in various underground locations.
Now everyone's biological clock is completely reversed, sleeping during the day and working at night.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou's trading quota in the Special Management Bureau expires today, and they need to accept tasks again or hand in their cards.
"My bones have become stiff from staying at home. Let's go out and have a look. It's not good to be away from society for too long."
Qiao Qiao had no choice but to go to the Special Management Bureau with her parents. It just so happened that she also wanted to find two B-level tasks to help Xiao Qiao evolve to maturity as soon as possible.
Deng Zhouse still looked enthusiastic, "Miss Qiao, you are here."
When Qiao Qiao saw that the other person was wearing a special heat-insulating suit, she realized that she was living a good life now.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou went to the task bar to look for the tasks they wanted, while Qiao Qiao stayed at the information desk to chat with her.
"Are there any B-rank missions recently?"
Deng Zhouse was already used to her style, and he skillfully opened the computer to search, "There is no more in the Northeast region for the time being. There are two C-level tasks, and the reward is two R-level card drawing tickets. Do you want to take them?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She still wanted B-level missions more. She had a hunch that after the extreme heat was over, only A-level missions would reward SR-level cards. She wanted to get a few more cards now.
Just as she was lost in thought, a familiar voice woke her up.
"Qiao Qiao, what a coincidence, am I just about to go find you?"
Looking back, Tang Mingli, who was wearing a thermostatic suit, came over and asked, "Do you have time?"
"have."
"Talk to me for a minute."
Qiao Qiao followed her to a secluded seat. Deng Zhouse served two cups of tea and left quickly.
"I won't exchange pleasantries since time is of the essence."
Looking at Tang Mingli's serious expression, Qiao Qiao was a little curious about what kind of problem could stump her who had two SR-level cards.
"The only A-level mission in the country appeared in the capital area."
Qiao Qiao's expression changed instantly. She had seen a lot of news in the chat channel recently. A B-level mission could easily destroy some small countries in the southern hemisphere, not to mention an A-level mission.
Tang Mingli continued, "Just in case, the Federation is preparing to dispatch several SR-level card drawers from various districts to the capital district to jointly eliminate the A-level tasks."
Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows. Although she had never experienced this before, she might as well give it a try with her current strength. The A-level task would allow Xiao Qiao to grow two tails directly. It was a rare opportunity.
However, the cooperation with the authorities is still the federal government in the capital region...
"What about the reward?"
Tang Mingli smiled, "Five SR-level card draw coupons, ten R-level card draw coupons, ten SR-level card draw coupon fragments, six wind speed fruits, and the Federation will give each person 200 contribution points. If the mission is successful, another 100 will be added, and there will be a quota for bringing family members into the capital area."
Qiao Qiao's heart was moved when she heard the first half, but the last sentence made her laugh uncontrollably.
In the past, a place in the capital district was worth a fortune and no one would refuse it.
But now, after the apocalypse, SR-level card drawers can live comfortably anywhere, so why should they go to the capital area?
Tang Mingli was a little nervous. "The Northeast Federation said that if you can come back, they will give you an extra 100 contribution points and a permanent place to trade cards in the bureau."
Qiao Qiao shook her head and smiled bitterly, "How afraid are you of people leaving?"
Seeing Qiao Qiao's expression, Tang Mingli knew that she would not leave easily, and said helplessly: "There is no way. The Capital District's operation is obviously trying to kill two birds with one stone. It wants to use the hands of everyone to solve its own difficulties and retain talents. Compared with it, other districts have no competitive advantage."
Qiao Qiao tapped the table with her slender fingers, thought for a moment and said, "I'll take this task."
She looked expectantly: "Then you..."
"Of course I won't leave." Qiao Qiao smiled and took a sip of tea. Hm, it should be black tea. It tasted good.
"This mission is quite urgent, so we have to set off tomorrow."
She nodded and agreed, "No problem, how do I get there?"
Tang Mingli sighed. She hated business trips the most. "The capital district will send a plane to pick us up. I'll send you a list of names from each district later."
"good."
In the evening, when Qiao Qiao was packing her luggage, the list was sent to her.
Northeast region: Tang Mingli, Ji Ling, Xia Momo, and Qiao Qiao.
