Chapter 4: Phoenix
As you enter the mission hall, you will see a huge display screen with various missions scrolling on it.
Yu Mu stopped to watch.
Task 1: Clean up the pollution. No limit on the number of people. Time limit: 8 hours. Reward: One bucket of water and one tube of nutrient solution.
Mission 2: Eliminate moles. Bring your own weapons. No limit on the number of people. Time limit: 6 hours. Reward: One bucket of water and two tubes of nutrient solution.
Task 3: Picking wild fruits. No limit on the number of people. Bring your own weapons, have a certain level of force, and face certain life risks. Reward: Half of the fruits picked this time will be the task reward.
…
Mission 7: Hunting energy animals such as bears and tigers. Requires a third-level force value. Reward: Internal distribution.
…
After reading those tasks, Yu Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Her favorite was mission three, but it looked dangerous, requiring one to bring weapons and risk one's life. Fortunately, anyone could take it, unlike the later missions which required a certain level of fighting power.
She couldn't even get through.
But she had a child with her, so it was obvious that she could not take the third mission. Otherwise, there would be two deaths and she would feel sorry for the child. After much hesitation, she decided to take the first mission. After all, this mission seemed the easiest. She would have a bucket of water and a tube of nutrient solution every day, which would at least allow her to support herself.
Don't ask her why she didn't take the second mission.
Gophers are mice, and she is afraid of them.
Arriving at the counter, Yu Mu said to the staff, "I want to take on the task of cleaning up the pollution."
"Are you sure you want to accept it?"
The beautiful working lady asked her, looking a little surprised.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Seeing her doubtful expression, Yu Mu asked worriedly.
"No problem, you can accept it. I will process it for you right away."
The staff said quickly.
Yu Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At this moment, a female voice came from the next room: "Wait, we don't accept this task, sorry!"
After the man finished speaking to the staff, he pulled Yu Mu aside. Yu Mu saw that this man was the one with the messy hair who said he would complain about her last night.
At this time, the guy with the chicken coop hair looked very dashing, with his hair tied up, a short knife on his waist, a huge-looking long knife on his back, and a short leather jacket on his body, revealing his beautiful legs, looking very muscular.
"What are you going to do?"
Yu Mu thought she was deliberately making trouble to prevent him from taking the task. He couldn't help but look unhappy, thinking to himself, "Isn't it just disturbing your night's rest? There's no need to be so petty!"
"I think I need to teach you a lesson."
The man with the chicken-coop hair said to her with a serious expression and a hint of sarcasm, "The pollution cleanup missions issued here are mostly radioactive. Ordinary people who go to clean up the pollution sources are very likely to get radiation sickness. There is no cure for radiation sickness. The mildest form of illness is illness, and the worst is death. Moreover, radiation sickness is contagious. You live next door to me, and I don't want to be infected by you without knowing it!"
"Ah! So that's how it is?"
Yu Mu opened his mouth in horror and looked at the man with the chicken coop hair in disbelief.
"Humph! Idiot."
Seeing that his words had frightened the woman and that she would no longer do the work of cleaning up the pollution, the man with the chicken coop hair ignored her, let go of Yu Mu's hand and walked straight out.
"Hey, wait for me, I still have a lot to ask you."
Yu Mu knew that although this chicken-coop-haired girl had a sharp tongue and was a bit annoying, she had a good heart. Otherwise, she could just quietly move out of the house and watch Yu Mu die without reminding her. So she immediately caught up with her, wanting to ask her for more information. After all, she didn't have any friends here, so it would be good to catch someone like this to ask questions.
"What do you want to ask?"
When the man with the chicken-coop hair saw her chasing him, he slowed down and his expression softened a lot.
"The pollution cleanup mission just now was so dangerous, why was it announced?"
Yu Mu asked in confusion.
"Because this is common sense. No one is as foolish as you to go there in person!"
The chicken-coop-haired man replied helplessly, sighing, "The cleaning mission is performed by robots. They're very cheap, but even with their low price, they wear out a lot and can't clean up any useful materials. That's why this is a public welfare activity. Apart from the country and some noble families doing good deeds, no one is willing to do this mission. The reason this mission is in the mission hall is so that they can take it conveniently. If I didn't know you were broke, I wouldn't stop you."
I understand.
Yu Mu nodded, then put his arm around the woman with the messy hair and said affectionately, "Thank you, beautiful sister, for clearing up my confusion. So, if I want to do a task, what task can I do to make money quickly?"
Unconsciously, she showed her true character.
After all, she was only eighteen years old and admired beautiful and strong women.
But he forgot that her face was now full of vicissitudes, and she looked much older than the chicken coop head. This immediately annoyed the chicken coop head, and he shook her arm away and shouted: "Am I that old? Can you stop talking nonsense?"
Forehead……
Yu Mu suddenly remembered her current status and couldn't help feeling depressed. She no longer had the mood to talk to Jiwotou. In addition, she was weak and gradually couldn't keep up with Jiwotou's walking speed, and was getting further and further away from her.
Yu Mu felt a little desperate.
She felt like God was going to kill her. She finally got a golden finger that allowed her to grow food, and would soon be able to live a carefree life as a landlord, but she was suffocated to death at the beginning. Just thinking about it made her die such a pathetic death.
Just thinking about it.
When she looked up, she saw the man with the chicken coop hair standing in front of her waiting for her. When Yu Mu approached, the man with the chicken coop hair said, "My name is Feng Li. What's your name?"
"My name is Yu Mu."
Yu Mu didn't understand what Feng Li wanted to say. He knew that this was no longer his previous life, and she was no longer a cute and beautiful girl. They were strangers, and they couldn't get too close. His expression became cold and he asked.
Feng Li slowed down his pace and walked side by side with her, saying, "I just thought about it. You can pick wild fruits. This job is somewhat dangerous, but as long as you don't go into the inner part of the forest and only pick outside, you might occasionally come across some edible wild vegetables. If you're lucky, the wild animals you pick in a day can be sold as enough for you to eat for a few days."
"Is that so?"
Yu Mu's heart began to beat.
Start thinking about feasibility.
Then Feng Li continued, "We must go in groups to pick wild fruits. Otherwise, if we encounter swarms of moles, crystal wolves, and the like, we'll be dead. With more people, the wild animals won't dare attack!"
"Ah, then is it difficult to form a team if I have a child?"
Yu Mu asked.
"Well, that's a problem indeed."
Feng Li glanced at her and said, "Why don't you wait until the child is older? It's not realistic to complete the mission now."
"I can't wait any longer. I don't have a penny now. I can't even afford water. I'm starving to death."
In the past, she would definitely not have said these words, but the situation was different now, and Yu Mu had never been so desperate.
