Chapter 4242. Draw a card!
Shen Jinwen didn't need to find any excuses. After all, there was a gap in strength between the two sides. If the other party was unwilling to open the door, he would just break it open by force.
Fortunately, although the people inside the door were alert, they were not so alert that they were unwilling to open the door. After hearing Shen Jinwen's kind words, they remembered that they almost never encountered dangerous abnormal situations in this area. Now they understood the reason.
It turned out to be an owned land.
Someone came forward to open the door. Behind him stood three people holding weapons and looking nervous. When they saw the two girls, Shen Jinwen and Xu Zhi, they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then hesitated whether to invite them in.
Instead, Xu Zhi smiled and took the initiative to ask, "Wouldn't you like us to come in and talk?"
After saying this, it seemed like this wasn't the first time she had said this.
Seeing that Xu Zhi and Shen Jinwen did not attack them directly, the man at the door stepped back a few steps to let them in.
After entering, Xu Zhi did not speak. The four people in the room focused their attention on the Saker Falcon on her shoulder.
After Shen Jinwen proposed that each person must pay a core per week to live here, they looked at each other and didn't argue. Instead, they asked rationally, "If we choose not to live here and leave now, do we still have to pay for the core?"
Shen Jinwen shook his head. "No, but think carefully about the environment around here. We've cleared out only relatively weak mutant animals, making it a perfect place for newly awakened Transcendents to practice. And living here, you don't have to worry about being eaten by mutant animals that suddenly break in at night."
"One core per week, that's just the lowest price."
After Shen Jinwen finished speaking, Xu Zhi said nonchalantly: "This is because your team only has three extraordinary people and one ordinary person."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the four people in front of her changed drastically, "How did you know?!"
Xu Zhi's tone remained unhurried: "The weak have no privacy in front of the strong."
"Hurry up and decide. Today is Tuesday. If you want to stay, give me three cores now and you can stay until this Sunday. After that, go to the neighborhood office every Monday to pay her the accommodation fee, which is four cores."
"Also, if you encounter outsiders and bring them here to live, each head will be exchanged for one core."
This was also something Xu Zhi had discussed with Shen Jinwen. As her assistant, Shen Jinwen could obtain the [Winter] attribute core as salary.
As for bringing outsiders in and going with the flow, what Xu Zhi wants is more leeks that can grow and develop sustainably, and four people are far from enough.
After hearing Xu Zhi's words, several people were actually moved and no longer wanted to leave.
In peacetime, you still need to spend money to rent or buy a house. Now in the apocalypse, the other party can provide a safe residence and mutant animals of the right level for training in the surrounding area. The price of one core per week is really not too bad.
Even though they had lived in this city for more than a month, they had not accumulated many cores.
Xu Zhi still has many ideas in her mind, but the number of people now is too small. When the population of the settlement increases, she will have plenty of ways to exploit them.
Safety is the most attractive thing about Yuncheng at the moment, so the four of them decided to stay there without much hesitation.
"What if we want to leave later?"
Shen Jinwen replied: “It’s the same, just go ahead.”
The main focus is voluntary.
After hearing this, the four of them finally felt relieved.
One of the middle-aged men, who was probably the leader, asked, "How many people are here? How much of the surrounding area is relatively safe for us?"
Xu Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "There are three more, but you won't be able to see them."
Then she roughly pointed out the area nearby that had been cleared by the clansmen. The man asked a few harmless questions about details, and after Shen Jinwen answered them, Xu Zhi and Shen Jinwen left.
"Remember to go to the street office every Monday and sit for a day. If you have any questions, contact me immediately."
Before parting, Xu Zhi gave instructions, and then took out two [Winter] attribute cores from the warehouse.
"This is an advance on your salary for this month. Come to me on the first of every month and I'll pay you."
Even though they are now companions, Xu Zhi does not intend to rely solely on favors and coercion to make Shen Jinwen do things for her.
The salary she gave to Shen Jinwen was not fixed, it depended on the income and situation. She only gave him two now because there were only four people at the moment and Shen Jinwen didn't need to do too much.
Two cores can bribe the extraordinary people in Yuncheng to help her do chores for a month. It is really cheap labor.
But it's only in the early stages.
Wait until more people come to the settlement.
"Let's proceed step by step." Only when Shen Jinwen becomes stronger and her own strength can crush these extraordinary people can we start to expand rapidly.
Now, she still needs to rely on her clan, which is not a good time, but she can slowly establish the rules here.
At night, after counting the harvest of the three clansmen and feeding the cores of suitable attributes to the clansmen, Xu Zhi himself also ate four [Moth] attribute cores.
This time, there were a few more moths surrounding her in the hallucination.
The next morning, Xiaozhen brought good news.
It finally found the black fruits that it had not seen for many days, and there were two of them.
Xu Zhi didn't hesitate and fed both to Xiaozhen.
The reason is simple. Xiaozhen now has the fewest traits, only four: Sharpness Lv5, Agility Lv8, Endurance Lv5, and Strength Lv4.
Except for Sharp, any of the other three would be good for Xu Zhi.
The only concern is the repeated sharpness attribute, but all three clans have sharpness, so this concern will arise no matter which one you draw.
Moreover, as the only flying unit, Xiaozhen does need stronger strength.
Now her characteristics are: sharp, evolutionary, vigilant and bloodthirsty. No matter whether it is paired with agility, endurance or strength, it is a very good combination, which can greatly enhance her own strength.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Zhi decisively fed all two black fruits to Xiaozhen.
When Xiaozhen woke up, it had reached level 19.
[Family: Saker Falcon Lv19
Spirit: 730
Flesh: 2400
Traits: Sharpness Lv5, Agility Lv8, Endurance Lv5, Strength Lv5
Special ability: Instant Death Lv2
In addition to the level increase in tolerance, the most important thing is that [Instant Death] also increases by one level.
[Due to some special reasons, you will be able to extract a trait from your family]
A familiar prompt popped up, and besides that, there was another line.
[Congratulations, your clan's special ability level has been upgraded.]
[Instant Death Level 2: When a clan member activates this extraordinary ability, its attack may cause the victim to die instantly. Instant death is unstoppable, irreversible, and unchangeable. Current trigger probability: 1 in 1,000.]
[The probability increases, and the amount of supernatural energy your followers need to pay when using this ability also increases.]
[Currently, your clan can only use this ability once at full power.]
