Chapter 264 I Picked Up Trash on the Battlefield of National Fortune 20
Lin Feng looked at the mountain of medicines on the table, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Elder Jiang, this..."
He wanted to say that the number was astonishing, but he swallowed the words back.
"These potions are more effective than those of the same level sold in stores," Jiang Zhe's voice echoed in the quiet conference room.
"The price is only one-third of that in stores."
Wolf picked up a bottle of high-grade potion, uncorked it, and brought it to his nose to smell it. A pure energy aura invigorated him.
"Good stuff." He said succinctly, looking at Jiang Zhe: "Can this be mass-produced?"
"able."
Jiang Zhe nodded, then added, "But that's only one aspect."
He revealed everything about 1024's willingness to recycle damaged equipment, as well as information about 0714.
The entire conference room fell completely silent as everyone processed the immense impact of the news.
"A stable and inexpensive supply of medicines."
"A recycling channel that can turn waste into treasure and provide a continuous source of points and materials."
“A controllable and exploitable, but high-risk strategic NPC.”
Lin Feng muttered to himself, connecting these three points, and a vague strategic loop formed in his mind.
"We... seem to have found a way to snowball our success."
Jiang Zhe leaned back in his chair, a glint in his cloudy eyes: "That's right, a path that belongs to our Dragon Kingdom."
"From now on, everyone, under the premise of ensuring safety, collect as many 'scraps' as possible from the battlefield, no matter how broken or tattered, bring them all back!"
"We're using garbage to trade for our future."
...
Zhou Jue looked at the planetary barrier in the mall priced at "99999999" and quickly did some calculations.
Even if she could consistently earn 20,000 points every day, it would only amount to a little over seven million points a year, which is far from that astronomical figure.
"No, relying solely on selling medicine and collecting garbage is too slow." He frowned. It's like running a small shop; no matter how good the business is, you'll never become the world's richest person.
We must develop new businesses, specifically those with high technological barriers and high profits.
She remembered that Lao Jiang had asked her about the repair tools, so she opened the thick "NPC Employee Management Regulations" again, as well as the forum that only internal employees could access.
She flipped through the pages one by one, reading each post one by one, not missing a single corner.
Finally, a side job labeled as "high-risk, high-reward" caught her attention.
The Alchemist
[Job Description: By analyzing the structure of items and utilizing specific materials and energy circuits, damaged equipment can be repaired, reshaped, and even upgraded.]
[Occupational Risks: High material costs, high failure rate, and advanced repairs require a large amount of points to purchase blueprints and tools.]
Zhou Jue's eyes lit up: repairing equipment! This is definitely a highly profitable business!
On the battlefield, it's common for players' equipment to get damaged. The official store's repair service is ridiculously expensive; repairing a B-grade weapon costs several thousand points, and an A-grade weapon is even more expensive.
If she could master this technology, even charging only half the official price would be enough to make her a fortune.
"System Brother!" she immediately called out to the system in her mind.
"Host, what are your orders?" The system's voice was as lively as ever.
"Get me a complete set of learning materials for 'Alchemist' and 'Enchanter', the more detailed the better."
"Huh? Host, you want to change jobs? This job seems a bit difficult..."
"You should be able to access the backend of the National Fortune System, right?" Zhou Jue interrupted it.
"Hehe, no problem!"
The system instantly perked up and said in a boastful tone, "Host, you wait here, I'll go to their core database and download it for you right away! I guarantee I'll even uncover the hidden easter eggs!"
A few seconds later, a massive amount of information flooded into Zhou Jue's mind.
From the most basic "Material Identification and Characteristic Analysis" to the complex "Principles of Energy Circuit Construction", and then to the seemingly mystical "Rune Enchantment and Soul Imprinting".
Countless blueprints, formulas, and operating methods flashed through her mind like a movie in fast-forward.
Without hesitation, Zhou Jue immediately immersed himself in this ocean of knowledge.
She did not rest that night.
...
The next day, in District D-8, a city ruin riddled with holes by acid rain.
Zhou Jue pushed her cart and expressionlessly picked up a contaminated metal plate.
Her movements remained meticulous, but in her mind, she was rapidly reviewing the alchemical knowledge she had learned the previous night.
Just then, a fierce exchange of fire and the roars of monsters came from not far away.
Her divine sense detected a Dragon Kingdom squad being besieged by three C-rank "Corruption Guardians".
At the same time, the National Fortune System issued a notification, instructing her to avoid the area. Without turning back, she walked towards the avoidance location provided by the National Fortune System.
"Look! It's 0714!" Someone in the team spotted Zhou Jue and immediately beamed with joy.
"Great! Brothers, follow the rules!" At the captain's command, the entire squad's tactics changed instantly.
Instead of fighting alone, they were immediately divided into three groups.
Two people in a group stood at the front, using shields and firepower to hold off the monster.
Another group of two harassed the monsters from the flanks, constantly attacking their joints to restrict their movement.
The last person, the fastest in the group, charged towards Zhou Jue like an arrow released from a bow, without looking back.
Watching their skillful teamwork, Zhou Jue mentally gave Lao Jiang a thumbs up. She acted as if she hadn't seen anything and continued pushing the cart toward the clearing point.
The player who rushed over didn't stop at all. He ran up to Zhou Jue, reached out without hesitation, picked up the purifier, and turned to run away.
The whole process was smooth and efficient, without a single wasted word, and without even glancing at Zhou Jue.
"laugh--"
The team that obtained the purification agent immediately turned the tide of the battle.
A large cloud of white mist gushed out, and the three tough "corruption guards" were as fragile as paper in the face of the purifying agent, quickly turning into a puddle of pus.
After the battle ended, Zhou Jue assumed they would come over to observe her up close.
But no.
After confirming that it was safe, the squad leader immediately gave the order.
"The settlement time is almost here! Everyone, spread out! Pick up the fragments! Pick up as many as you can!"
"yes!"
The five team members responded immediately and, like diligent worker bees, quickly dispersed into the surrounding ruins.
They stopped being picky and collected all the fragments that fell off their equipment, regardless of their material or how badly they were damaged, into their storage space.
He looked even more dedicated than Zhou Jue when he was cleaning up the battlefield.
Soon, the teleportation light shone, and the squad, along with the "trash" they had looted, disappeared from the spot.
Zhou Jue pushed the cart, stood still, and looked at the spot where they had disappeared.
Old Jiang's speed in taking action is truly frightening. She suddenly felt a little looking forward to the next time she saw Jiang Zhe as a businessman.
How many "surprises" will he bring to himself?
