Chapter 19 Mission (II)
"Turn right on the road ahead, go straight for 800 meters... You have arrived near your destination, the destination is on your right, and the map navigation ends."
Gu Nian turned off the engine and parked the car on the side of the dirt road. She got out of the car and looked around. As far as she could see, there were large tracts of farmland. Although it was already late October, the farmland was bleak. Gu Nian looked carefully and saw that there were still unharvested crops on the farmland, but unfortunately they had died in the cold wind.
At the end of the dirt road is the gate of a factory building. The sign next to the gate reads "Nan'an Vegetable Greenhouse Planting Company". According to Yu Ziqiu's information, the reporter Zhao Feng is the boss of this company. Nan'an Town is a suburban village affiliated with Jiangcheng. The townspeople generally make a living by farming and supplying crops to the urban area of Jiangcheng. There are also many vegetable planting companies here.
Gu Nian walked over and knocked on the factory door. A tightly dressed gatekeeper came out first: "Little girl, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Zhao Feng. A man named Yu Ziqiu asked me to find her." Gu Nian said.
The old man looked at Gu Nian with some suspicion and said, "Come to the reception room and wait. It's cold outside. I'll ask Mr. Zhao."
There was a stove burning in the reception room, which was a little warmer than outside. When the old man came in, he put on a blanket of cups and picked up the phone on the table: "Mr. Zhao, there is a girl looking for you... Yes, she said it's Yu Ziqiu..."
The doorman put down the phone. "Girl, go inside, to the innermost small building. Once you enter, Mr. Zhao will be waiting for you on the first floor."
Following the directions given by the gatekeeper, Gu Nian walked into the factory and finally met Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng is a woman in her forties, wrapped in a thick windproof down jacket, with her hair tied up, a broad face, and bright eyes. "Are you the Gu Nian that Yu Ziqiu said was here to deal with this?"
"Yes, I am." Gu Nian answered, and then she asked, "I heard that wild boars trampled on the greenhouse and caused damage to the farmland. What happened?"
Zhao Feng looked Gu Nian up and down. This girl looked young, in her early twenties, very pretty, with big, bright black eyes, as delicate as a doll, wearing sleek fur, looking more like a rich girl out skiing? Such a pretty girl, can she handle the tricky wild boars?
Zhao Feng gets a headache whenever he mentions wild boars. Ever since the cold wave came, Zhao Feng has insisted on staying in Nan'an Town, and continues to look after the greenhouse business with his old employees. The company's factories are all bungalows with coal stoves built in them. They burn coal every day for heating, and the smoke is discharged from the chimney, which is better than the air conditioning heating in the city. It is precisely because of this that they are close to the mountains and forests, and it is colder than the urban area of Jiangcheng, but they have barely persisted. Who knew that the wild boars in the mountains and forests would set their sights on their own greenhouses, and come down the mountain every day to cause trouble. The multi-span glass greenhouses they built were knocked out with several holes, and the vegetable fields were also destroyed!
The cold air poured in from the holes in the greenhouse, affecting dozens of acres of vegetables! The grown vegetables could still be picked and eaten, but the seedlings were frozen to death! Zhao Feng was so anxious about the loss that several blisters appeared in her mouth. The security guards in the factory went to catch wild boars and were injured one after another, not only because of the wild boars' collisions, but also because there was a strange cold air on the wild boars' bodies. She quickly called the police, but after listening to her explanation, the operator transferred the call to a woman named Yu Ziqiu, saying that Yu Ziqiu was responsible for handling such incidents near Jiangcheng.
Yu Ziqiu's answer to Zhao Feng was that she was leading a team on a mission and would probably take ten days or half a month to come back, so she could only find a helper to handle it. In this way, Zhao Feng waited for Gu Nian.
Although Zhao Feng had some doubts about Gu Nian's ability, she was helpless at the moment. She took Gu Nian to the monitoring room and told him the whole story.
"About a week ago, when we went to inspect the fields in the morning, we suddenly found that all the vegetables in the fields were destroyed and there was a big hole in the greenhouse. We checked the surveillance and found that three wild boars had broken into the greenhouse."
"Because everyone nearby is from the same town, and recently all the neighbors have moved to the city, we don't have many people in the factory, and we didn't have anyone on duty. When we saw a wild boar breaking in, I arranged for the factory security guards and male employees to go together. There were six big men in total, and they all carried electric batons. I thought that when the wild boar came, we would just subdue it together, or at least scare it away. But I never expected that these wild boars were so difficult to deal with..."
Having said that, Zhao Feng played the surveillance video for Gu Nian.
In the surveillance video, the greenhouse was quiet. The steel frame supported the three-meter-high glass greenhouse. The ridges were full of thriving vegetables. It was obvious that the employees of this greenhouse company took great care of the vegetables. At this moment, three wild boars rushed out from the path in the forest, ran straight to the greenhouse at the foot of the mountain, and crashed into the glass!
The glass shattered into pieces and quickly spread outward. The originally intact greenhouse was quickly destroyed, and wild boars rushed in. At this time, the staff on duty also rushed over. They held shovels and electric batons in their hands, holding huge flashlights, and came to drive away the wild boars. When the wild boars saw someone, they immediately rushed over. Several employees swung iron bars to hit the wild boars. However, at this time, a white mist suddenly emerged from the wild boars, which was extremely eye-catching even in the surveillance camera. Then there were screams from the employees, and people suddenly collapsed to the ground, seemingly having lost their ability to move. The wild boars swaggered away.
"What is that white mist?" Gu Nian paused the surveillance and asked, pointing at the white screen.
"I don't know. When I and others arrived that day, the employees on duty had already suffered severe frostbite if they had touched Bai Wu's body. Their skin was covered with a layer of frost and they were completely unable to move. Now they are all receiving treatment in the hospital. I called the police, but the police informed me that it was not their responsibility to deal with this strange animal. They gave me a number to call and said it was the relevant department. I called and it was Yu Ziqiu who answered. Later, you came." Zhao Feng said in one breath. The anxiety over the past few days made this shrewd and capable woman look tired.
"I know these wild boars have superpowers and can spit out ice!" The little boy next to Zhao Feng suddenly said loudly. "Just like this, biubiubiu, they can shoot out ice rays!" The little boy also imitated the childish sound effects.
Seeing his naughty son, Zhao Feng felt a headache and scolded him, "Zhao Xiaolong, stop talking nonsense! Go back and play with your toys!"
The little boy pouted unhappily and shook his head vigorously: "Mom, I won't say anything, but I don't want to go back and play with my toys by myself!"
Zhao Feng touched the little boy's head and said to Gu Nian apologetically, "My son always likes to talk nonsense, Miss Gu, please don't take it to heart."
Gu Nian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Maybe what this kid said makes sense."
Zhao Feng's heart sank when she heard Gu Nian say that. In fact, she had doubts before. The white mist on these wild boars had overturned Zhao Feng's perception of the world. Where in the real world have you seen such things? They looked more like creatures in the game her son loved to play. She wanted to convince herself that this was just an unknown creature, but looking at the strange weather outside, maybe there would be more and more things in this world that were not in line with common sense.
Gu Nian suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Did the wild boar appear again after that?"
"Yes, they are there almost every night," Zhao Feng answered affirmatively. "Later, I checked the cameras in the entire factory and found that the wild boars came in from the path on the mountain and went all the way to the greenhouse on the edge of the factory."
It seems that the wild boars use this vegetable planting company as a granary. Yes, at this temperature, there is probably no food on the mountain. Gu Nian tapped the desk and thought to himself, it seems that it is very easy to get hurt when fighting these wild boars in close combat, so I still need to find a suitable place to shoot from a distance. The white mist can use low temperature to hurt the opponent in close combat, but it is useless with physical attacks such as bows and arrows.
Gu Nian quickly made up her mind. "Take me along this road." She planned to scout the terrain.
It was still daytime, and Zhao Feng called the few remaining vegetable-growing employees in the factory. They left the factory and saw nearly a thousand acres of greenhouses outside. It seemed that the scale of this vegetable-growing company was not small. The last greenhouse was right next to Dahu Mountain, and there was a mountain path next to it. Wild boars were accustomed to going down the mountain from here and breaking into the greenhouses to destroy them.
Several people walked cautiously along the path to Dahu Mountain. This is a path leading to Dahu Mountain. Like all mountain paths, there are trees and bushes on both sides. It is more like a path trampled by people and animals over the years than a road.
Gu Nian took out a telescope from his backpack and looked around at the terrain. After walking about 500 meters, still some distance from the halfway point of Dahu Mountain, a male employee stammered, "Boss Zhao, if we go up a little further, we'll enter the forest..."
Zhao Feng also stopped and looked at Gu Nian in embarrassment. "Miss Gu, how about we stop here?"
Gu Nian understood. Yes, it was okay to walk outside. If you go deeper, you will easily encounter wild boar nests, or other large wild animals in Dahu Mountain. It was normal for Zhao Feng and these employees to be afraid. After all, the security guard on duty that day was still lying in the hospital!
Gu Nian nodded. After walking down this mountain road, everyone was out of breath and their lips were blue from the cold, but Gu Nian was still calm, as if he was walking on flat ground. "Okay, let's stop here."
She stood under a huge tree and felt that she had found her target.
-------------------------------------
Zhao Feng found an empty office on the second floor of the office building for Gu Nian to rest in. Gu Nian sat in the office chair and closed his eyes to rest.
With a creak, the door opened carefully a crack.
Gu Nian opened his eyes alertly, and his sight happened to meet the little boy who was peeking in from the door.
Zhao Xiaolong subconsciously wanted to escape, but he mustered up the courage to walk in. "It's time to water my vegetables," he explained.
Gu Nian stood up and noticed that there were indeed a row of flower pots on the windowsill of this office. Zhao Xiaolong walked in with a watering can in his hand, and watered the flower pots carefully. He also took out a bag of fertilizer from the drawer and applied fertilizer in a serious manner.
"Are these the vegetables you planted?" Gu Nian watched from the side with her arms folded. She found that the child's movements of applying fertilizer were surprisingly skillful.
Zhao Xiaolong quickly glanced at Gu Nian and said, "Yes, recently the greenhouse needs to heat up a lot to grow vegetables. The vegetables in my mother's fields without a shed all died. I want to try and see if I can grow vegetables." He pointed to the flower pots and said, "I move these vegetables to the yard during the day and bring them back in the afternoon. I want to slowly cultivate these vegetables and let them adapt to the cold."
At this point, he looked frustrated and his mouth slowly drooped: "But, these vegetables are going to die too." He fumbled with the flowerpot reluctantly: "I've been planting them for almost a month, and they still won't survive..." At this point, Zhao Xiaolong's nose felt sour and his eyes were wet. He turned his head away, not wanting this strange adult to see his tears, and tried hard to hold them back.
Gu Nian looked at the flower pots and saw that the vegetables in the pots had barely sprouted, and the stems and leaves had turned yellow, and they looked like they were dying. Children always miss things they have invested too much time in.
Gu Nian didn’t know what to say, she was not good at dealing with emotions.
"If it doesn't grow, I'll keep planting. One day, it will grow." Zhao Xiaolong said, and when he said this, he had the innocence and determination of a child. After he finished speaking, he didn't plan to wait for Gu Nian to say anything, and continued to work on his own. Although this child is young, perhaps because of what he has seen and heard in the factory, he is good at taking care of vegetables. He also carefully caught insects on the leaves and removed some necrotic stems and leaves. After doing all this, he left with his small tool bag, and closed the door for Gu Nian before leaving.
Gu Nian looked at her watch and it was almost four o'clock. It was getting dark around five or six o'clock, so it was time for her to pack up and go out.
------------------------------------
Night falls quietly.
There was also some movement in Dahushan. Several wild boars emerged from caves deep in the forest and swaggered towards the foot of the mountain. Looking closely, layers of white mist appeared on their bodies. In temperatures that humans would need to wrap themselves in thick fur to survive, they moved freely in the forest without any scruples.
They walked down the mountain road and gradually appeared in Gu Nian's sight.
There was a pine tree that towered into the sky, and Gu Nian had climbed up to the top of the tree early, sitting on the branches with her legs crossed, holding her breath, waiting for her prey. She was wearing a pair of infrared night vision glasses, which showed black and white images in her field of vision. Once a living creature appeared, the glasses would dutifully transmit a red outline.
If someone were here, they would definitely stare in surprise. At this time, Gu Nian was only wearing a windproof mountaineering suit and mountaineering boots. This was certainly convenient for movement, but how could he withstand the low temperature in the mountains? You know, at night in Dahu Mountain, the temperature can drop to minus 60 degrees or even nearly 70 degrees!
Gu Nian drank the cold-keeping soup in advance. Yes, it was the finished product made with great difficulty in the farm kitchen. She put each portion of the cold-keeping soup into a thermos cup, a total of three portions, and brought them all together. The dark cold-keeping soup tasted tasteless and slid down her throat like water, but immediately afterwards, a huge amount of heat burst out of her body!
The blood seemed to boil, and the hands and feet that had been rapidly losing temperature in the low temperature suddenly became hot, as if boiling water was boiling in the palms and soles of the feet, bubbling and emitting hot steam. Gu Nian was shocked when she tried the cold-resistant soup for the first time. The effect was even stronger than she expected.
Gu Nian simply changed into a set of clothes that were more convenient for movement, which increased her chances of success. At least she didn't have to let the thick leather gloves and heavy clothes affect her shooting speed and accuracy.
She stood quietly on the high ground, patiently waiting for her target. Today she had to be a good hunter, and patience was a necessary quality for a hunter. A long time passed, so long that Gu Nian drank the second serving of cold-resistant soup.
And the three wild boars finally appeared in Gu Nian's sight.
Gu Nian reached back without hesitation, pinched the tail of the arrow, and started to draw the arrow. The arrow broke through the night sky like a meteor and pierced the wild boar fiercely!
The first injured wild boar howled and ran away, and the other two wild boars were also frightened and rushed forward. However, when Gu Nian shot the first arrow, he had already reached back with his right hand to take the arrow, bent the bow, and shot at the second wild boar!
The screams of the second wild boar rang out again.
Unfortunately, the third wild boar was blocked by the trees and missed the target. It fled down the mountain. Gu Nian jumped down from the tree and ran quickly in the forest, chasing the wild boar like a familiar hunter in the forest. The infrared glasses dutifully captured the three energies emitted by the wild boar and transmitted them to her in the form of infrared images.
The wild boar seemed to know that someone was chasing it, and it ran very fast in the forest. Its hard and thick skin made it not care about the thorny bushes in the forest, and its speed was even faster than Gu Nian. Perhaps it was the animal's instinct to choose a familiar path, and it subconsciously ran in the direction of the greenhouse it often went to.
Gu Nian was also running very fast. She planned to get closer to the wild boar and prepare to shoot when she could accurately catch it within her field of vision. Unfortunately, the wild boar's escape route was full of trees and bushes, which seriously affected her vision. However, Gu Nian was not in a hurry.
There should be no one in the greenhouse. She informed Zhao Feng in advance and asked Zhao Feng to tell the employees not to come tonight. Besides, those people should not have the courage to come.
But she heard the child crying. "Help...Help! There's a wild boar!"
Gu Nian's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave, and her eyes froze into a line. It was Zhao Xiaolong's voice! How could he be here!
Zhao Xiaolong was terrified, his hands and feet were cold. He had just gone back and looked up information on his computer, which said that plastic film could be used to keep vegetables warm in severe cold weather, which could effectively prevent the death of vegetables. He knew that the vegetables in the flower pots might die completely tonight, so he secretly took his mother's key and thought of looking for a roll of plastic film in the tool box in the greenhouse.
But he didn't expect that not long after he came out, he saw a huge wild boar rushing towards him. Compared with that wild boar, he was like a fragile toy! Zhao Xiaolong's pupils dilated, and he wanted to stand up to avoid it, but his legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't get up at all.
Gu Nian had seen the situation clearly. She stopped, at such a close distance, there was no other way.
When training at the archery gym, Shi Xingfa arranged the longest distance for Gu Nian to shoot was only 40 meters, which was a long distance on flat ground. Once it exceeded 40 meters, the accuracy and precision of the shooting would drop significantly! Shi Xingfa warned Gu Nian that a qualified archer must have the skill of controlling the distance! Never shoot at a target outside the effective range!
But now she had no other choice. The wild boar was conservatively about 80 meters away from her. When she entered the shooting range, it would be enough for the wild boar to hit Zhao Xiaolong through, not to mention the cold mist on the wild boar.
Gu Nian slightly opened her legs and reached back again to take the arrow.
She had heard before that there are two kinds of people in the world. One kind will collapse under pressure, becoming panic-stricken and performing worse than usual, while the other kind will become stronger under pressure, like a spring, which is usually motionless but will quickly rebound when subjected to external pressure, bursting out with greater strength than usual and exceeding its limit.
Gu Nian estimated that she might be the second type of person. In the face of the crisis, she calmed down instead. Zhao Xiaolong's cry for help faded away in her ears, and her breathing became more and more stable. She subconsciously used the breathing technique she had been practicing for some time, and the fighting spirit was boiling in her blood.
There was no need to examine it with her eyes anymore. At this moment, Gu Nian seemed to have injected all her energy into the arrow in her hand. Night Cat was like an extension of her arm. She could smell the cool iron smell of the bow. Even without using her eyes, she could clearly sense the arc of the bow arm, the direction of the arrow, and the strength of the string.
The arrow shot out, fast, faster than moonlight, so fast that it made a sharp sound of breaking through the air!
Zhao Xiaolong could already hear the wild boar's wheezing and snorting. The foul smell was coming, and the white mist that adults were afraid to mention was getting closer and closer to him, like the gauze of the god of death... He was so scared that he froze in place. Was he going to die? Then, the wild boar fell down in front of him...
The white mist brushed past his nose dangerously, then dissipated.
Behind the white mist, Gu Nian, carrying a bow on his back, put his hands on his legs, and squatted in front of Zhao Xiaolong: "Hey, how can a child run out in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Xiaolong then burst into tears: "Wow... I'm sorry..."
Zhao Feng's voice and hurried footsteps were heard from afar: "Xiaolong, Xiaolong...are you okay..."
Looking at the mother and son hugging and crying, Gu Nian rubbed his temples helplessly. Fortunately, he made it in time.
-------------------------------------
Early the next morning, Gu Nian and the employees of the agricultural company went looking for prey in the mountains.
The wild boar that finally rushed to the greenhouse was shot through the skull by Gu Nian, seriously injured and killed, which also shocked all the farm employees. Everyone looked at Gu Nian with shock and even awe. No one dared to question her ability anymore. The arrow that pierced the wild boar's skull had already proved her strength.
Who would have thought that the compound bow could be so powerful? It was a wild boar covered with hard and thick skin, and it actually pierced straight through the skull!
The effect of the second cold-proof soup had worn off, and Gu Nian did not intend to waste the last cold-proof soup. She put on her thick fur coat again and searched for the other two injured wild boars that had escaped in the forest with everyone else. When the wild boars escaped, the traces of trampling the bushes were extremely obvious. Following the traces, they soon found the two wild boars that had bled to death in the forest.
The arrows shot by Gu Nian pierced the abdomen and back of the two wild boars respectively. At the shooting site, there was even an arrow stuck in the ground. The entire arrow went through the wild boar's body, causing a huge wound. Even if it fled with injuries, it would die from blood loss. This was why Gu Nian did not rush to chase the two wild boars at that time.
The surface of the dead wild boar's body was still covered with a thin layer of frost. Everyone put on thick gloves to avoid direct contact as much as possible, and used tools to drag the wild boar onto the trailer and all the way back to the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, this was an agricultural company, and they were able to find the huge wooden boxes they usually used to transport goods. Fortunately, Gu Nian's car engine had enough horsepower to transport the three wild boars. The three wild boars were directly loaded into three large wooden boxes and tied firmly to the luggage rack on the roof of the off-road vehicle with climbing ropes.
"Sister Gu, are you leaving?" Zhao Xiaolong said reluctantly. Ever since Gu Nian saved him, he looked at Gu Nian as if he was looking at an idol, with sparkling eyes like a puppy.
Gu Nian rubbed his head and said, "Well, I'm leaving now. Don't sneak out again."
Zhao Xiaolong nodded heavily.
Gu Nian took out a large, tightly packed plastic bag from the car. She squatted down and looked Zhao Xiaolong in the eye, then handed the bag to him solemnly: "This is a very special kind of soil. Didn't you tell me that you were going to grow vegetables again? Try using this kind of soil next time. Maybe you can grow vegetables this time. But this is a secret that cannot be told to anyone."
The plastic bag contained the soil that Gu Nian had taken out from the farm space. It was dug out from the spiritual field. The spiritual field could grow medicinal herbs with special effects, so the soil must also be extraordinary. Gu Nian thought that maybe Zhao Xiaolong could give it a try.
Zhao Xiaolong took the plastic bag, nodded seriously like a little adult, bumped fists with Gu Nian, and made a promise.
Zhao Feng also came over with her employees. She was originally a serious woman, and because she had been her own boss for many years, she had to show off her aura, but now she looked at Gu Nian with eyes full of trust and tenderness: "Xiao Gu, the gas is full, be careful on the way back, and come and play often when you have time after this cold wave passes!"
Gu Nian smiled and nodded. She still had half a tank of gas left in her car, which was enough to drive back to Jiangcheng, but Zhao Feng insisted on filling it up for her, saying that there was a lot of gasoline stored on the farm.
It was time to leave. Gu Nian lowered her head and got into the car. She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and sent a message to Yu Ziqiu. "The wild boars have been dealt with." She started the car, stepped on the accelerator, waved to the people outside the window, and left Nan'an Town.
Soothing music was playing in the SUV as Gu Nian drove along the road and headed back to Jiangcheng.
As the car entered Jiangcheng, Gu Nian's phone lit up and a message came in. Gu Nian pulled the car over and opened the message to check.
It was Yu Ziqiu. "Leave a deposit account. I'll check with Zhao Feng and the credit points will be transferred to your account today. By the way, are you selling the wild boar you killed?"
Gu Nian hesitated for a while and sent a message: "Sell it, but I want to keep 200 kilograms of wild boar meat. As for the spirit crystals in the wild boar's body, I want to keep them all."
Gu Nian didn't know how to butcher pigs, and the skin of wild boars was thicker than that of ordinary pigs. She might be able to take them to the butchers in the market, so she might as well sell them to Yu Ziqiu. Pork was easy to sell, but Gu Nian was unwilling to sell the spirit crystals in the wild boars. She took the risk to take this mission just for the spirit crystals in the mutant animals.
After a few minutes, Yu Ziqiu replied: "Okay, transport the pig to Andu Industrial Park. I'll test the spiritual crystal for you on the spot and give it to you." Following this message was a location.
Gu Nian simply turned the steering wheel and drove towards the location sent by Yu Ziqiu.
Andu Industrial Park is a factory area on the edge of Jiangcheng. There are many small factories here. The warehouse that Gu Nian rented before was also in this area. However, as she finished stockpiling goods, she had already vacated the warehouse. Under the cold wave, many factories have been closed down. It is no longer prosperous as before, and it is a scene of depression.
Gu Nian drove the car, turning around along the small roads in the park, and finally parked the car in front of a factory building.
The iron gate of the factory was covered in messy colorful graffiti, which looked like a gathering place for bad boys. Gu Nian looked at it for a long time before he recognized the abstract words covering the top, which read "Action Group 2".
She walked over and knocked on the door.
A boy in his early twenties came out of the factory. His hair was messy and sticking up. He looked handsome, but his face was covered with oil marks. He was wearing a tattered work suit with a lot of tools in his pockets. "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Yu Ziqiu, is she there?"
"Looking for big sister? I see, you are Gu Nian? Big sister has told you to come here to sell three wild boars." said the boy.
"Yes, that's me." Gu Nian replied.
"My name is Jiang Yang. I'm in charge of logistics for Operations Team 2. I do maintenance and am also responsible for collecting things. In short, I do everything except going out on the field." The boy named Jiang Yang scratched his head and said, "Where is the goods you brought?"
Gu Nian pointed to the three large wooden boxes on the luggage rack of the car.
Jiang Yang exclaimed: "Fuck, it's really big! Wait a minute."
Jiang Yang took out a cart and unloading tools from the inner room, and the two of them worked together to push the three large wooden boxes into the factory.
Gu Nian then looked around the factory. The huge five-meter-high factory was divided into three areas. The innermost area was a simple martial arts arena, with sandbags, wooden stakes, dumbbells and other fitness equipment, and even a boxing ring. The outermost area was a maintenance workshop, with various tools placed on several large tables, and various tools hanging on the walls, and several fuel tanks next to them. In the middle was a messy rest area, with sofas, chairs, dining tables, refrigerators, and a wine cabinet.
Jiang Yang took out a wooden basket and swept all the tools on the workbench into the basket. Then he opened a wooden box, exerted force with both hands, exhaled and made a sound, his face flushed, and lifted one of the wild boars straight up and placed it on the workbench!
At this time, an electronic screen next to the workbench also displayed the number: 2 20kg, which was exactly the weight of the wild boar.
Gu Nian immediately looked at Jiang Yang with new eyes. She didn't expect Jiang Yang to have such outstanding explosive power! You know, this wild boar weighs more than 400 kilograms!
Jiang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his arms a few times before he pulled out a palm-sized instrument from his trouser pocket. It looked very much like a scanner. He pressed a few buttons and the instrument made a beeping sound, as if a switch was turned on.
Jiang Yang put on a pair of sleeveless gloves and moved the instrument close to the wild boar's skin. When it reached a certain part of the wild boar's abdomen, the instrument started beeping. Jiang Yang took out a knife from the pocket of his work clothes and stabbed it hard.
The knife was wide and deep, and when it stabbed in, a bloody hole was left. He pulled out the knife, reached in and felt around, and when he took his hand out again, there were two spirit crystals in his hand.
It turned out that the instrument was actually a scanner that could detect spirit crystals! Gu Nian suddenly realized.
Jiang Yang continued to use the scanner to check the wild boar. Whenever the scanner beeped, he would stab it with a knife and take out the spiritual crystal. After he finished searching a wild boar, he would lift it up and put it back into the wooden box, and then move on to another wild boar.
Finally, the three wild boars were cleaned, and there were three spirit crystals on the table. Jiang Yang took a handful of the spirit crystals, put them into an iron basin, and rinsed them under the sink. His posture was very skillful, just like he was washing dishes. He even added some detergent.
After washing, the spirit crystals were as beautiful as diamonds. Jiang Yang took out a small wooden bag from the drawer, filled it with spirit crystals and handed it to Gu Nian: "Here, all the spirit crystals are here. Usually we charge for helping people get spirit crystals. It's not easy to find these small stones when encountering large animals like wild boars. But the eldest sister said that these three pigs were sold to us, so there is no charge for taking spirit crystals. These three mutant wild boars are 2,250 catties in total. I will give you 25 credit points per catty, a total of 23,250 credit points, but you also want 200 catties of clean meat. The clean meat will be deducted at 30 credit points per catty, and the remaining credit points for you are 22,250. If you think this price is okay, the 22,250 credit points will be transferred to your account this afternoon."
This price is fair. After all, the meat yield of a wild boar is only 30% after cleaning it up, including the bones, and the losses have to be taken into account. Gu Nian nodded: "Okay, then when can I come to pick up the 200 kilograms of clean meat?"
"You can come here to pick it up three days later, or we can deliver it to your home." Jiang Yang said.
Gu Nian did not intend to reveal her address, so she said, "I'll come and pick it up myself in three days." Seeing that everything had been settled, she picked up the small cloth bag containing the spirit crystals, said hello to Jiang Yang, and drove home.
Gu Nian drove all the way back to his villa, parked the car in the garage, went upstairs and saw a notification message on his mobile phone.
Yu Ziqiu transferred 22250 credit points to her.
I didn't expect it to be so fast. Gu Nian clicked to collect the money and felt very happy. With this credit point, she could buy more things!
Now that she had a large amount of credit points in her account, Gu Nian considered quitting her job as an electrician in the winterization warehouse. She planned to spend more time practicing physical fitness and exploring the farm.
She called Captain Chen. "Hello, Captain Chen? This is Gu Nian. I've been thinking about this job, and I want to..."
"Hello, Xiao Gu, you're just in time. Have you heard that the cold fog is coming? The whole city must ensure power supply. Everyone is busy. Come back to work as soon as you finish your vacation!" A noisy voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm here in the cold storage to check the new line. Let's not talk for now. Send a message if you have anything."
The phone was hung up and there was a beep.
Gu Nian opened his phone and saw that there was a message popping up in the work group on his phone.
"@Everyone, please receive a message from the city's meteorological bureau. Cold fog is coming. Cold fog is coming. It is expected that the temperature in Jiangcheng may drop to minus 100 degrees at any time! All electricians must assemble urgently. The circuits in the city must be inspected and strengthened one by one! The following are the areas that each electrician team is responsible for..."
