Chapter 16 The Role of Wenle
Wen Le and his team had originally planned to return home. Since their mission for the day had already been completed and it was getting late, they could call it a day. However, they luckily encountered a gray squirrel out hunting on their way back, which naturally became the lucky catch for the four-man team.
Even Captain Li Er was surprised and said, "Today is really weird. I actually encountered two lone gray rats."
You should know that gray rats are social animals. Although they will separate and act individually to hunt, they will not be too far away from the tribe. There are even special sentinels around them, and they will quickly gather together once there is any movement.
No one expected that today would be so smooth. Not only did they complete today's task, but they also gained a gray squirrel skin, as well as so much rat meat and blood tofu.
Although they don’t know how to eat this thing yet, their mouths are watering just by listening to Wen Le’s description.
And they didn't doubt it at all. After all, Wen Le came from another planet, so it was normal for him to have eaten things they had never eaten.
That's right, they have already understood Wen Le's situation clearly in the past two days. They know that he fell on the abandoned planet in an accident. They were a little hesitant about this at first, but when they saw the personal terminal on Wen Le's wrist, their doubts were completely dispelled.
…
Having gained something, everyone no longer lingered and quickly returned to the safe zone.
After hearing Wen Le's description of how to make Maoxuewang, Aowei said, "I've actually heard of this before. Other places make dishes out of animal blood like pig's blood, and they're said to taste delicious."
He was also curious about how the blood tofu would taste, so he donated some seasonings and a handful of dried chilies. Because agriculture on the Abandoned Planet was underdeveloped, these seasonings were rare, and it was a huge expense for Aowei to come up with these.
The dishes prepared by Bu Wenle did not disappoint everyone. Everyone was reluctant to put down their chopsticks even though their foreheads were sweating.
Actually, Wen Le felt that this dish was not good enough. The smell of gray squirrel blood was too strong, and there was no onion, ginger, or garlic to remove the fishy smell, so it didn't taste very good. However, seeing that everyone was eating so happily, Wen Le didn't say anything for fear of spoiling everyone's mood.
After dinner, it was completely dark outside and the energy storm started again. It was difficult for everyone to go out, so they simply stayed in Wen Le's tent to discuss the future development of the safe zone.
It was at this time that Wen Le realized that the safe zone could be upgraded. For example, the B zone they had visited before was upgraded from a safe zone without any level. As long as the conditions were met, they could apply for an upgrade.
This upgrade condition is neither difficult nor easy.
The first is that the energy shield’s safety level must reach D and must cover a certain area. The number of people must reach a certain upper limit, and it must also have its own specialties.
For example, the area B that Wen Le and his friends went to was because it had a well and its energy shield had been upgraded to level D.
Once the energy shield is upgraded, the safety of personnel can be guaranteed, and the population in the safe zone will naturally grow. The benefit of population growth is that it can create more wealth and resources, which can be used to further upgrade the energy shield to make the safe zone safer. This is a virtuous cycle.
Unlike these ungraded safe zones, if you insist, they're like the shanty townspeople of early Earth, so poor they couldn't even afford a place to live. Even food and clothing were a problem, so how could they have the resources to upgrade their safe zones? So, things get worse and worse, a vicious cycle.
As the de facto leader of the entire safe zone, Ovi naturally had his own ambitions. Who wouldn't want to become stronger and stronger? As leaders, he naturally wanted to be on equal footing with the other leaders.
That's why Ovi gave that death order.
On the one hand, the energy shield really needs to be repaired, and on the other hand, he wants to accumulate strength in preparation for upgrading.
However, Ovi also knew that blindly exploiting people was not a long-term solution. People in the safe zone were killed almost every day in order to survive. Life was already difficult enough. If they were pushed too hard, they might riot.
Although he was a third-level psychic, two fists could not defeat four hands. If he was not careful, he would really capsize in the ditch. He absolutely could not let this happen.
That's why Ovi took the opportunity tonight to organize a dinner party, just to hear the suggestions of his subordinates.
No one had any good suggestions, other than catching more gray rats or digging more red rocks to exchange for credits. After all, their safe zone had very few resources to utilize. There was no sought-after water source, and unlike other zones, it wasn't near a garbage dump where you could find useful items to exchange for resources.
All they have is a gray squirrel and a volcano that could erupt at any moment. The ore inside isn't mineable by everyone, and trying to mine it without specialized mining equipment is a recipe for disaster. But specialized mining equipment isn't cheap, and few can afford it.
So the mining option was directly passed.
After much discussion, no one could come up with a solution. Ovi couldn't help but say, "Who said we don't have resources?" He looked at Wen Le and said, "We have a unique therapist."
When his name was called, Wen Le immediately stuttered. It was not that he underestimated himself, but his current healing skills that could only stop bleeding from wounds were really not very good. What's more, he was only level four now, and could only use the healing skills four times at most each time. There was really nothing attractive about him.
Ovi seemed to understand Wen Le's concerns, so he smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about. Setting aside the treatment level and effectiveness, you can purchase the medicine privately."
After a pause, Ovi continued, "Besides, you're only ten years old now. You can't stay at level one forever. And when you learn how to make medicine, more people will come to you for medicine, which will increase our income."
People who come from far away always have needs, such as food and water, which can generate income for the safe zone.
Wen Le was silent. He had forgotten about this. Because of his special status, there was no limit on the quantity of potions a therapist could buy. At least that was the rule on the Abandoned Star as long as you could buy them.
Of course, whether or not they are willing to sell is another matter.
Wen Le thought about it and felt that this matter would not do him any harm. He just had to go out and buy some medicine and use the name of a pharmacist to bring people over. There was no loss.
What's more, he can also make some extra money by helping people with treatment, and in this way he can practice healing techniques and increase his proficiency.
Because of the presence of Ovi and the others, Wen Le now has no one to practice with, and people in the district don't dare to come to him for treatment. It is harder than climbing to the sky for him to practice his skills and increase his proficiency.
Thinking of this, Wen Le nodded and agreed: "I agree with the captain's proposal, and later on, after I learn how to make potions, I can let them exchange things for them." As for this "thing", it must be used in the safe zone.
Hearing Wen Le's words, a look of satisfaction flashed across Ovi's face: "Then it's settled."
