After all, given their limited quantity, a single 'Source of Evolution' could fetch an astronomical price at auction.
Perhaps the total number of crystal cores obtained by the soldiers and hunters of the entire base from hunting zombies in a month wouldn't be enough to buy a single 'Source of Evolution' at auction.
The next second, Jiang Wu felt a surge of excitement.
I don't know how to use the crystal nucleus here.
Moreover, they used crystal nuclei as currency.
This means that there are a large number of crystal nuclei here.
If I could obtain these crystal cores, wouldn't I be able to exchange them for many good things?
Jiang Wu looked at Wang Tiefeng and asked casually, "I have a question. These crystal cores are very rare and can only be obtained by killing powerful zombies. But you can use them as daily currency here. Do you have a lot of these crystal cores here?"
Wang Tiefeng nodded and explained, "At the beginning, there were definitely fewer, but the base kept trying to kill more zombies. After a long period of effort, we obtained a large number of crystal cores, so we were able to use them as circulating currency."
"Later, because it was made into currency, soldiers and the zombie hunter groups that were spontaneously formed later became more and more eager to obtain them, and their efficiency in killing zombies became higher and higher, and they obtained more and more crystal cores. Now, they can guarantee the number of crystal cores needed for circulation."
Jiang Wu was overjoyed.
The more the better!
In fact, China's resurgence and rise to prominence has only occurred in the last six months.
This Huaxia Dragon Base had already assembled a very powerful force shortly after the disaster.
Moreover, they have no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
The number of zombies they've killed might be more than the number killed by the Huaxia Revival.
After all, zombies are only effective if they reach level three or even level four.
Otherwise, zombies below level three, even T2, would be nothing more than targets when facing anti-tank weapons.
Faced with the indiscriminate barrage of fire from the regular army at the Huaxia Dragon Base, the ordinary zombie horde was basically powerless to resist.
The pretty waitress was curious about Jiang Wu's identity.
After all, Colonel Wang seemed to be very polite to him.
Colonel Wang is already considered a mid-to-high-level executive at Dragon Base.
The fact that the person was treated so politely by the high-ranking officials in the base means that their identity must be extraordinary.
The pretty waitress looked at Jiang Wu and said with a bright smile, "Mr. Bai, my name is Lin Xiao. If you come here again, you can just look for me. What kind of wine would you like? We have quite a few specialty drinks here."
Jiang Wu casually asked, "What are some of their special features?"
Lin Xiaoru introduced it in great detail, "There is 'Ground Root Burn,' which is fermented and distilled from the root and stem of a mutated plant. It is strong, cheap, and filling, making it a favorite of most hunters."
"There's a 'fluorescent berry wine,' made from a type of blue berry that glows in the mountains behind the village. It has a sweet and sour taste, low alcohol content, and is very popular with girls."
"There's also 'Hundred Herbs Brew,' which the owner asked a master craftsman to brew with dozens of mutated herbs. It's said to be good for your health, but the taste... is a bit strong."
She paused, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of mystery and allure, "If Mr. Bai would like to try something better, we still have a small amount of 'stock' here. For example, 'Apocalypse Maotai Fragrance' blended with genuine Maotai. Although the Maotai content is low, the flavor is authentic!"
"There is also 'Snowflake Honey Brew,' which is fermented with snowflake fruit unique to the back mountain. It is incredibly delicious, and its taste even surpasses 'Apocalypse Maoxiang.' However, because snowflake fruit is relatively rare, this wine is quite expensive. A small 50ml glass requires five white crystal cores."
Jiang Wu was listening with interest and was just about to order some wine.
A burly man, drunk and reeking of alcohol and sweat, suddenly stood up unsteadily.
He grabbed the waitress's wrist, mumbling incoherently, "Little...Little Xiao'er! Come here...have another drink with your brother! Your brother had a good haul today...I...got some crystal cores!"
Lin Xiao's face instantly darkened. With a nimble flick of her wrist, she delivered a resounding slap to the drunkard's face!
Her movements were clean and efficient, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time she'd encountered such a situation.
"Get out of here! Don't you even know where you are? How dare you cause trouble here?" Lin Xiaoliu's eyebrows shot up as she shouted angrily.
The sweet smile she had given Jiang Wu just moments before vanished, replaced by a fierce and shrewish demeanor.
The drunkard was stunned for a moment after being hit, then flew into a rage, his face flushed red as he was about to explode: "You fucking dare hit me?! I..."
"What do you mean, 'what the hell'?!" Lin Xiao retorted without backing down, stepping forward and raising her voice even higher, even drowning out the music in the bar. "You want to see what happens when you cause trouble on Fire Phoenix's turf? Hmm? You'd better think about whether the crystal cores in your pocket are enough to pay for your life!"
The words "Fire Phoenix" were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the drunkard's anger.
The ferocity on his face was quickly replaced by fear, and he seemed to sober up considerably, cold sweat pouring down his face.
He looked around in alarm, then slunk back to his seat, not daring to utter another sound.
The onlookers chuckled a few times, seemingly used to it, and soon resumed their noisy chatter.
Lin Xiao then turned around, instantly putting on a sweet smile again, and apologized to Jiang Wu and Wang Tiefeng, "I'm sorry, you two must have made a fool of yourselves. There are always some clueless drunkards."
She then looked at Jiang Wu again, smiled, and asked, "Mr. Bai, which one would you like to drink?"
Jiang Wu was about to suggest a glass of Snow Melt Honey Brew.
But he subconsciously touched his pocket and found that he didn't have a single crystal core on him.
This is a bit awkward.
He, the dignified leader of the rejuvenation of China, comes to a bar but can't even afford a drink...
Having worked in such places for many days, Lin Xiao had become extremely adept at reading people and situations.
She immediately noticed Jiang Wu's embarrassment and said with a smile, "Mr. Bai, this is your first time here. How about I treat you to a drink?"
Jiang Wu was slightly taken aback, then looked at Lin Xiao with a meaningful gaze and calmly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll order that Snow Melting Honey Wine?"
Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Since Mr. Bai wants to drink, I'll treat you both. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Jiang Wu became even more curious.
According to Wang Tiefeng and Lin Xiao, a cup of Snow Melt Honey Brew can be exchanged for dozens of kilograms of rice.
So this pretty waitress just hired someone??
Jiang Wu looked at Wang Tiefeng and asked curiously, "Are they paid very high wages here? How can they just hire people like this so easily?"
Because of the angle, Wang Tiefeng didn't notice Jiang Wu's momentary embarrassment. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Bai, because she knows you are not simple, she is willing to make this investment. And her true identity is one of the Twelve Beauties under the Fire Phoenix, the owner of this bar."
“And you came with me. The mutated animal skin robe you wear and the giant biological weapon on your back all indicate your mystery, so it’s not surprising that she did this.”
