Chapter 1041 Taking the Hook
The woman looked at her steadily, but Jian Yan was unmoved and continued eating her own food.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of him. Jian Yan, who knew who it was, was silent for two seconds. He looked up at the skinny and pale woman in front of him, "Is there something wrong?"
“···”
The woman flinched under her emotionless gaze, struggling over whether to speak or not.
On Black Star, fighting for food with others was no different from taking their lives. If she told others, the biggest possibility would not be that she would get an extra chance to survive, but that she would die on the spot.
She didn't want to die, but she really couldn't hold on any longer.
The several children in the family also needed food.
Thinking of those children, the woman took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and decided to take a gamble.
"Miss, I have no food at home, and I have several children to support..."
Jian Yan looked up and said before she could finish, "Don't think about me. I don't have any extra food to give you."
"What are you talking about, miss? That's not what I meant."
The woman smiled widely and said in an almost pleading tone, "I just want to ask Miss if you can teach me how to make these mutated plants edible."
"Feel sorry."
Jian Yan shook his head and said indifferently, "Your mental strength is not up to par, I can't teach you."
The woman was desperate. She touched her clothes and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Jian Yan couldn't bear it and thought for a moment before saying, "I can help you, but not for free. I need a reward."
Several people looked ashen.
If they had money they wouldn't come out of town.
Apart from a shabby house, the only thing they have that is valuable is their life.
The only thing that can be exchanged is a life.
"You don't have anything to pay me?" Jian Yan asked knowingly, his voice cold and without any emotion.
Several people nodded.
"Think about it carefully. If it's anything you think is valuable or precious, you can show it to me. Maybe there's something I'm interested in."
Her hint was clear enough. If these people didn't take the bait, she would be helpless.
Fortunately, after staring at her for a few seconds, someone suddenly thought of something and stood up with his eyes lit up.
"Miss, as long as you can keep me from going hungry, I will be at your service." The handsome man with a pale face said in a deep voice.
Bingo, a fish finally took the bait.
Jian Yan was satisfied, but she looked at the man without pretending to be picky. "What ability do you have that is worth my efforts to support you?"
She smiled slightly and pointed out a fact coldly and cruelly, "You all know what kind of place Black Star is."
“Here, food is more important than life.”
"You want me to support you? Fine. Just show me the capital and chips to support me."
The man thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Does being well-informed count?"
Jian Yan became interested and smiled, "Tell me in detail what information you know."
There's hope.
As soon as she said this, not only the man, but also the eyes of the remaining few people lit up.
In the following time, Jian Yan finally understood the meaning of the saying "snakes have their ways, rats have their ways".
These people are indeed living at the bottom of society and can be bullied by anyone, but precisely because of this, in order to survive, they have experienced and visited far more places than most people in District 7.
The more places you go, the more low-level people you can meet, and the more gossip you can collect.
