Chapter 206: Small Medicine Bottle
The downside is that base fees must be paid every month, which is not low. People with insufficient abilities simply cannot afford it. Many people were expelled under this pretext.
Base fees can be paid with crystal cores, supplies found outside, or quests. Paying with quests is more disadvantageous. The first two are clearly marked with prices, so the loss is obvious. However, quests, on the other hand, have content and quantity determined by the base, and are usually significantly overpriced, leaving you speechless with the loss.
Furthermore, if there's a dangerous mission, the teams within the base are required to undertake it, no strings attached. In short, there's no autonomy; you're just cannon fodder, and you're expected to obey unconditionally. This is the biggest reason some capable teams refuse to be affiliated with any base.
Everything has its pros and cons, but most teams that don't have a base are made up of incompetent trash, just like the people in the small town. They don't dare to go out to kill monsters and corpses, so they can only do hard labor in the abandoned iron mines to turn over stones to find iron ore. Even if they don't gain anything at the end of the day, they won't be discouraged, because this is the only thing they can do.
Now, the abandoned iron mine has been destroyed, and their hope for survival has been destroyed, so they are deeply resentful, and the big team also understands why these people are so enthusiastic.
But there are still some puzzles. For example, now these people found iron ore but instead of exchanging it for food and daily necessities, they exchanged it for such a small bottle of potion. It is really hard to understand.
"So impressive," Zhang Yun sneered. It was impossible for her to say that she didn't care. Before she was ten years old, she also longed for her parents' love. At that time, she knew that she had a younger brother, and she also saw with her own eyes her parents' attitude towards her brother. That was something she had never experienced on herself. When she was a child, she envied, was jealous, and hated him, but gradually she became numb.
When the end of the world came, she thought she would never have the chance to see him again in this life, but she didn't expect that fate would come so suddenly and so ridiculously.
The two turned around, squinting their eyes for a long time before they realized that it was their adopted sister. They smiled and said, "Isn't this our dear sister? How did she become like this? Tsk tsk, so pitiful. How about you beg your brother and he will give you something to eat?"
Guo Zi rarely had a cold face. He protected Zhang Yun behind him and looked at the two of them coldly.
The two were so excited that they couldn't think straight. They had heard this sister joke since they were little, and thought she was dead. They didn't expect to meet her again. They didn't notice Guo Zi's eager hands. "Are you living such a low life now? You are indeed quite pretty, but you can only win over such a rough guy. How about I introduce you to some good ones?"
Guo Zi swung his fists left and right, sending the two flying backwards several meters. They landed on the ground for a long time, unable to recover, and several of their teeth were knocked out. "A dog can't spit out ivory, but your brain makes you spit out dog teeth."
Guo Zi was furious. He turned to look at Zhang Yun and looked helpless. "I, don't be sad, I..."
Zhang Yun smiled, "I'm not sad anymore, I'm just a little surprised. Don't worry, they are just strangers to me. We can all live our own lives in peace. If they seek death, we won't show any mercy."
Guo Zi nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Silly." Zhang Yun rolled her eyes and was in a good mood.
The friend was jealous and said, "You two, stop it."
Guo Zi chuckled foolishly, and Zhang Yun allowed the teasing without blushing at all. She directly handed a bottle of liquid to Duan Jianghe, "Aren't they going to help me, their older sister? Perfect, take it."
Duan Jianghe naturally wasn't polite, "One bottle seems too stingy," and picked up a dozen more bottles.
The people queuing behind were jealous, but they didn't dare to go against the two men. It seemed that they couldn't afford to offend the big team either, so they had been hiding far away since the action started.
Zhang Yun has two younger brothers, Zhang En and Xie Xiaochuan. Zhang En resembles Zhang Yun more, inheriting most of his facial features from his biological father, Zhang Weizhong, and a little from his biological mother, Shen Julian. His otherwise handsome features are marred by Shen Julian's genetically defined petiteness. Shen Julian isn't particularly attractive, but she's petite. So, while Zhang En's face might seem okay, his figure is as skinny as a withered tree, unattractive, even irritating, like a dried-up monkey.
Xie Xiaochuan inherited whatever flaws his parents had. Zhang Yun's biological mother, Xin Ningfang, had a nice face, but she was too big, even bigger than a burly man. Perhaps that was why Zhang Weizhong wanted to eat wild game; who could stand a wife bigger than himself? Xin Ningfang also looked down on Zhang Weizhong, so she also wanted to eat wild game. Xie Xiaochuan's biological father, Xie Ren, who was also Zhang Yun's stepfather, was her type. He had a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, which wasn't good-looking, but he had a good figure, a standard inverted triangle, and long legs. Compared to Zhang Weizhong's fat and pale body, he was much more attractive, but his face was too hard to describe.
Xie Xiaochuan inherited his father's face and his mother's figure. She was not tall but very burly, with a rough look all over her body. Her face was hard to describe, the kind that would scare ghosts to death if she went out at night.
Although looks and figures are given by parents, born and raised by nature, and should not be despised, Zhang Yun often still wonders if it is because they have done too many disgusting things that their descendants will suffer. If so, she is still quite lucky. Although she is not a beauty that can topple a country, at least she can be considered a beautiful girl from a small family. It is enough and she has not been harmed.
Zhang Enxie Xiaochuan recovered and vomited blood for a while. He was relieved to confirm that it was just blood from a tooth and the injury was not serious. He turned back angrily and said, "You bitches, if you have the guts, don't leave. Wait here and see how I kill you." He ran away, shouting a few words over his shoulder, "Wait for me, don't run away."
The big team pursed their lips, they are very busy, okay.
You said you would wait, but you just wait. How embarrassing.
"Let's go." Lan Shiruo waved, and the car drove away. Before leaving, Ao Chengyi set fire to Zhang and Xie's stalls. The people were not good, let alone the things.
The people around were jealous, angry, and regretful. They should have rushed up to grab it earlier. Now, everything is gone.
The big team saw something interesting, stopped the car, and pulled someone over. "Tell us what this thing is. If you can tell us well, we'll give you a bottle."
The man was so excited that he blurted out everything before anyone else could react. The people around him came to their senses and quickly gathered around him, telling him everything they knew, and then waited eagerly for the bottle to be given to them.
But the little friend narrowed his eyes, threw away the person in his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away, leaving behind dust and a group of cursing people.
In the car, Duan Jianghe was doing a simple test with a tense face. He was not an angel in white. He studied medicine not only for his own enjoyment, but also to make himself and his brothers live longer. However, he would never use anything to harm others for money or to kill people.
"What is this, quack? Why does your face look so sour?" Ding Jiajia leaned over.
Duan Jianghe rolled his eyes and said, "Stay away from me. You're too ugly. I don't like you."
Ding Jiajia gritted her teeth, "You're talking nonsense, I'm the best looking of all of you, even better looking than Big Brother."
Ao Chengyi huh, "Really?"
Ding Jiajia shrank her neck. "I'm only a little bit worse than Big Brother, and you still dare to say I'm ugly? You're ugly, and so is your whole family."
Han Qingquan stroked Spider Sister's eight legs and said in a cold tone, "Really?"
Ding Jiajia, damn, no one can afford to offend me now.
