The Calculations Behind Chapter 55
The bearded man, nicknamed "Muscle Man," returned to the base and grew increasingly angry, as the matter was still unresolved.
Peach Blossom, lying on a deck chair, leisurely browsed the chat messages in the communication area. Glancing at the person at the door of the wooden house, she asked, "How is it going?"
The muscular man said angrily, "That handsome guy is too arrogant. He completely ignores orders. I told him to wait until the human energy was used up before firing, but he fired prematurely and said he was quitting."
The hand that was swiping the screen paused as peach blossoms bloomed, and the eyes turned cold.
"The matter didn't work out?"
The muscular man lowered his head and clenched his fist: "It could have worked..."
Tao Duoduo felt disgusted, but he wasn't stupid, so he asked his cousin what the reason was.
"That woman has two superpowers: one is to launch fireballs, and the other is to be able to teleport from one place to another. She is also accompanied by 6 people, who are said to be hired by the mercenary bar of the White Moon Base, and they are all armed."
“Take more people with you, no matter what you use… No, we have to make her hand over the medicine-making station.”
Peach Blossoms Bloom, his eyes glazed over as he thought of the medicine-making station. Most players would put the medicine-making station in their own inventory for peace of mind, but Laying Flat Salty Fish is the base administrator, so he would definitely put it in the base.
I wonder if killing the base administrator will change the base's management rules?
Otherwise, if killing the lazy bum still doesn't allow us to enter the White Moon base and take the medicine-making station, then we'll be doing all the work for someone else.
Unfortunately, unless we find someone from the White Moon base to cooperate...
The muscular man clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, determined to get the job done next time, otherwise his cousin would only make him a doorman.
"Mercenaries are not easy to deal with, and there are six of them. Cousin, you need to give me more manpower, and they must be armed. Those who don't obey orders will definitely not work."
Peach Blossom remained silent, staring intently at the muscular man.
The muscular man looked down at the floor.
...
On his way back, having been so handsome he had no friends, he thought about how popular he was and felt uneasy.
That muscular guy will definitely talk bad about him when he gets back, so he might as well just run away. Anyway, a lot of people have left the base recently, and he thinks that Peach Blossom Base will be deserted sooner or later.
Sigh, I heard that White Moon Base is full. Otherwise, with its great atmosphere, many base buildings, and boutiques selling backpacks, White Moon Base would really be a great place to go.
"Hey, where have you been? You didn't even take me with you today."
The handsome guy looked up at the person walking in front of him—a fellow refugee who had just arrived in this apocalyptic world and was now fleeing together. He seemed like a decent guy, and they were probably a good match to... run away together.
How was your day?
A wisp of breeze swept across the area, its tone unpleasant: "It's terrible. There's barely one item per resource point, and this entire area has been looted; there's nothing left."
The short-haired woman on one side looked worried, shook her head, raised her chin, and pointed in a direction: "That area has been occupied by the base chief's men again, and we can't search it. Today's harvest can be described as extremely poor."
"If I could transplant berry bushes, I wouldn't be so worried. Although berries provide low stat boosts, they grow quickly."
The short-haired woman ran a hand through her hair and muttered under her breath, "I really want to leave this base, this garbage base..."
The handsome man glanced at the short-haired woman and tentatively said, "I actually want to leave, but I don't know where to go."
The short-haired woman nodded repeatedly, as if she had found a kindred spirit.
To be honest, the closest and most convenient place to Peach Blossom Base is actually White Moon Base, which can be reached directly from Space Station No. 2 of White Moon Base.
A gentle breeze shook its head and sighed: "The White Moon Base is full. I heard that some temporary residents are afraid to leave the base. They can sell toiletries and buy backpacks for others, so they don't have to worry about food for the time being."
Moreover, people at the White Moon Base can run businesses and set up stalls. I've heard there are even jobs farming for the base. Many people are afraid that if they leave the base, they won't be able to get back in, so they simply don't leave their homes.
The short-haired woman suddenly raised a finger, as if she had thought of something: "How about the Qingshan base? It's a bit far away, but I heard they've cleared the entrance to the quarantine zone."
"It seems their base also has a teleportation point in the underground city. I'll go and inquire. The people from the Green Mountain Base are quite high-profile. I happen to be able to confirm that one of them is from the Green Mountain Base."
The three looked at each other and agreed that it was feasible.
"Let's bring a few more people together? To be safe, we need to find those who have decided to leave."
There must be quite a few people who want to leave the Peach Blossom Base. The reason is that the base manager and his group are too domineering, and they set the accommodation fees and taxes very high.
The only iced drink shop also sells iced drinks at high prices, supposedly because of high taxes, so the shop owner raised the prices.
If the price is too high, most players won't be able to afford iced drinks, rendering the building practically useless and offering no benefit to the players.
Thinking about the conversation between the handsome, muscular guy and his underlings today, the guy with the most friends said with a serious expression, "It would be best to leave this afternoon. We can find a temporary shelter to rest in tonight. I'm afraid they won't let us leave tomorrow."
A gentle breeze and the short-haired woman nodded: "Okay. This lousy place is unbearable."
...
Jiang Baiyue returned to the base at night and finally received good news about the clay and agricultural work station.
It was caused by the indiscriminate use of force by his sister, who was at another base in District 301, where a certain team owned an agricultural work station.
"Swords have no eyes: This guy is pretty greedy, don't take him too seriously. His nickname is Money Jar."
You can tell from their nickname that they love money.
Jiang Baiyue searched for the nickname and sent the application, but the other party did not immediately accept it. So she ate while organizing the supplies in her backpack.
Basic materials are currently difficult to acquire because of the zombie night attacks. Everyone feels that such attacks will happen again, and they have tacitly agreed not to sell large quantities to other bases.
Therefore, Jiang Baiyue's store has basically stopped acquiring basic materials.
Weapons can be sold occasionally, one or two; basic healing potions are always in demand; and torches are consistently sold around 50 per day.
In fact, more could be sold, but Jiang Baiyue didn't want to use up all the resin in the warehouse.
There is no resin on the dead trees in the dungeon; it can only be found on trees above ground.
Moreover, with continuous heavy rain, it is very likely that the solar streetlights will not have sunlight to replenish their energy, so the resin will have to be kept as a backup.
What items will the wandering merchant sell next?
Jiang Baiyue stared blankly at the collection box for flashlights and other lighting items that no one seemed interested in.
drop!
The money jar has approved the application.
"Money Jar: The base chief of the White Moon Base?"
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: Hello, I heard you have an agricultural work station. I'd like to know if the agricultural work station is related to planting?"
"Pig Pot: If you want to buy seeds, we currently have radish seeds, cherry tomato seeds, and cucumber seeds. Each seed costs 10 coins, and each person is limited to 5 seeds."
"Money Jar: However, since you are the base administrator, I would like to cooperate with you more. I can give you some conveniences and relax the requirements on quantity."
