Chapter 99 You're such a scumbag! (Fourth update)

Just as Zuo Shan finished reading Chi Zhengyang's message, his wristwatch rang again. When he answered it, it was that Midnight Ghost again.

"Hey! Big brother, the sun is shining brightly right now, what are you doing?" Zuo Shan said.

"Have you left District 50 yet? There's going to be a beast tide there soon!" The deep, hoarse voice was tinged with urgency.

"Where would I, a scavenger, get so much money to pay a deposit?" Zuo Shan said deliberately.

"Didn't I remind you last time that now is not the time to worry about money, but to save your life? Why didn't you listen to my advice?"

"I'm not giving it to... never mind, the situation is urgent right now. Tell me how much you need, and I'll transfer it to you... oh no, I'll lend it to you first, let's get through this problem first." Mortilan Shield was very annoyed.

He remembered transferring some money to her before leaving, but he didn't pay attention to the exact amount and forgot about it afterwards, without checking the transfer amount.

He remembered that he had entered quite a few zeros, which should be enough for her to buy a new house and settle down in a safe zone within District 48.

I almost let it slip in my excitement, but luckily he reacted quickly and covered it up.

"Brother, why are you being so nice to me? We're complete strangers, how can you just lend me money like that?" Zuo Shan's curiosity was piqued.

"Didn't we say we were destined to meet? There are so many people on Green Algae Star, and I just happened to dial your number by mistake."

"Alright, tell me quickly, how much do you need? A million, is that enough? I wouldn't dare transfer any more than that. If people find out you have so much money, those thugs around you will definitely try all sorts of ways to threaten you, and you might even lose your life," Mortilan said.

"Brother, 1 million?! Even if you dare to transfer it, I wouldn't dare to accept it! Hehe! Actually, I was just joking with you. I've already moved my household registration to District 48."

"Thank you anyway. I've decided to be your friend, Zuo Shan. I'll definitely treat you to a big meal sometime, with meat and kimchi, really, I mean it!" Zuo Shan said with a smile.

"Hmph! I'm busy, bye!" Mordiland realized he'd been tricked and angrily hung up the call.

He had been very agitated these past few days. The clan leader communicated his suspicions to the major clans through their group chat interface, hoping they could discuss and jointly issue a mission to mobilize the various mercenary groups to the border to fight against a possible beast tide.

Surprisingly, not a single family responded. Everyone said he was worrying unnecessarily, and some even maliciously speculated that the Lan Dun family wanted to take advantage of their role as the initiator of this initiative to expand their influence within the mercenary group and seize command.

Enraged, his grandfather smashed the desk in the study and vowed to completely abandon the matter, simply waiting for the beast tide to invade!

Without the support of the major clans, the Lan Dun family could not have done this alone. So, the Lan Dun family could only send their own guards to secretly scout the border.

If even the mercenary groups in the outer districts can't hold out, they can lend a hand to reduce the casualties of some ability users below the third rank.

He failed to resolve the matter and, worried about the woman's safety, called her number, only to find that she was playing him for fools. How could he not be angry?

After his anger subsided, Mortilan suddenly remembered what the woman had said at the beginning: she said she couldn't afford the deposit.

He had always known that a deposit was required for people from outside the area to enter the inner area, but he didn't know exactly how much it was.

He beckoned his assistant, Matt, and asked, "Do you know how much of a deposit residents of District 50 have to pay to enter District 40?"

"As far as I know, the amount required to enter the inner area from the outer area increases in increments of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and starting from the 46th area, a corresponding number of points must also be paid."

If a resident of District 50 wants to enter District 40, they need to pay a deposit of 550,000 and also need 10,000 points to enter District 40.

"Of course, people without points can buy them, but that has to be done on the black market, and it's very expensive. Unless you're a rich kid with a lot of money to burn, nobody's willing to buy points," Matt said.

Mortilan was dumbfounded. He remembered that he had transferred some money to her, but he forgot to transfer points to her, so she could only enter District 47 at most.

He was particularly curious about how much money he had transferred to her.

He quickly pulled up the transfer records, and after checking them, he was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear!

I remember when he was recuperating at her house, he said that he would repay her a hundredfold for all the money she spent on him, whether it was a first-aid kit or second-grade lamb liver.

But in reality, he only transferred 100,000 yuan to her!

100,000 yuan! That's less than what he spends on a typical meal with friends at a hotel, or on a piece of weaponry or equipment he casually gives to his subordinates!

Modilan Shield, you're such a scumbag! Is your life only worth 100,000 yuan?
