Finally, Yun Jian made the decision, "Alright, since everyone agrees, I'll summon one and give it a try."
After saying that, she selected "Confirm" in the dialog box that popped up in the system.
Suddenly, a new announcement appeared out of nowhere.
[Attention all players! A surprise [airdrop] will be landing tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM. Interested players are welcome to go and claim it!]
Once this announcement was made, everyone forgot about Li Meng's matter.
"An airdrop? Is it the kind of airdrop I'm thinking of? The kind that contains weapons?"
"Probably? Anyway, why not grab this free resource if it's free!"
"Even if you're lucky enough to grab it, you have to be lucky enough to use it. The system is making such a blatant announcement, there will definitely be a lot of people trying to grab it. Who can guarantee that they won't become a victim of this struggle?"
"So what? If we don't go and steal it, are we going to wait for someone else to steal it and then kill us?"
"I'm not planning to rob it. I'll just go and take a look. Anyway, I can't possibly rob it."
"Don't say that, upstairs. You just want to stand around and see if you can find a bargain, right? People like you are the most dangerous. You might stab someone in the back."
They were having a great time discussing the airdrop in the public chat.
Yun Jian felt a pang of heartache looking at the upgrade button in the system shop.
Bai Yu leaned over for a look and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Your current shop level is 4, and it costs 1,000 points to upgrade to level 5? Isn't that robbery?"
Liang Song frowned. "I remember that upgrading the mall didn't cost points. As long as the points balance increased, it would automatically upgrade. Why does it suddenly require points again?"
The fourth brother shook his head and sighed, "The capitalists' claws have finally been revealed. Isn't it just a way to make money in disguise?"
Yun Jian pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Liang Song, "How many points do you have now?"
"After paying off my debts, I'll still have 556 points, including the commission from selling items."
Yun Jian recalled, "When you have 1,000 points, the shop will upgrade from level 2 to level 3. If I transfer some points to you, see if the shop upgrade prompts you for more points?"
Liang Song nodded.
Yun Jian transferred 444 points to him, rounding it up to a whole number.
Liang Song quickly opened the system panel, checked the store, and then shook his head.
"No, I was directly promoted to level 3 without any points being deducted."
Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
In this way, if you use points to upgrade the mall, the upgraded mall should be completely different, at least the quality of the products will be improved.
Anyway, having so many points is a hassle for her now...
Yun Jian waved his hand and clicked "upgrade".
Everyone stood guard in front of the system panel, waiting for the upgrade to complete.
"Okay, okay, let's see what's inside."
Bai Yu crouched down and squeezed to the very front.
Upon seeing the prices of those items, they immediately deflated. "The upgraded mall is indeed different. The average price is around 1,000 points. Without some wealth, I really can't afford it."
Xiao Zhen casually clicked on one and disagreed, saying, "But any one of these items is of intermediate quality, and each one has its own special attributes."
Suddenly, Bai Yu's eyes widened. Pointing at a product, he looked at Yun Jian and was so excited that it took him a long time to speak, "Buy this! Buy this! A three-story villa with built-in defenses. Who cares about explosives? With this, we don't have to be afraid."
Liang Song hesitated, "But we can build our own house, wouldn't it be a waste to buy this?"
Although that defense is really quite good.
Bai Yu's eyes widened as he argued, "Can you guarantee that your house can withstand explosives? Li Meng is finished, and their next target will definitely be us! In any case, we must prepare as soon as possible."
Liang Song looked at Yun Jian.
Yun Jian tapped her little hand and bought it directly.
Perhaps because these points were stolen from others, she wasn't too bothered. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the others: "What else do you want to buy?"
Xiao Zhen pointed to one of the round rings.
Yun Jian opened the instructions, and the corners of her mouth gradually turned up.
"Animal Language Simultaneous Translation Ring. Wearing this ring allows you to communicate with animals and there is a certain probability that you can command them to do things for you."
Yunjian bought it.
I can take this ring and try it out on the little wolf later.
She then looked at Liang Song and Xiao Si, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
Liang Song paused for a moment, then nodded. "I want this fly messenger. Each little fly is a hidden camera, perfect for gathering intelligence."
Yunjian also bought it.
After hesitating for a long time, the fourth child finally pointed out what he wanted: "Can I have this stun gun?"
"We have generators, why can't we?"
Seeing that she had bought things for them, Bai Yu asked with a touched expression, "What about you? Aren't you going to buy something for yourself?"
Yun Jian glanced at the product catalog, her eyelashes drooping slightly. "There's nothing I like right now."
Just as she was about to close the store, a limited-time item suddenly popped up in the lower right corner, immediately catching her attention.
Bai Yu noticed the change in her gaze, followed her eyes, and immediately clicked his tongue: "Three thousand points! This thing is so expensive? Ugh, and it's just a few disgusting bugs. You don't really want to buy this, do you?"
Although Bai Yu knew there must be a reason why these things were so expensive, he just couldn't stand their appearance.
I wish I could stay as far away as possible.
Liang Song stood quietly to the side, not saying anything more.
Yun Jian completely ignored Bai Yu's chatter and bought the insect directly.
The insects were icy cold to the touch. There were five of them, all curled up in a small ball and motionless. Yun Jian spread them out in his palm, weighed them in his hand, and the insects stretched out a little before curling up again, seemingly unwilling to be disturbed.
Suddenly, a small, cool thing touched the back of Yun Jian's hand.
She turned her head and saw Xiao Zhen staring at her blankly with the ring in her hand. Seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Zhen simply put the ring on her finger.
The moment the ring was put on, Yun Jian heard a few tiny voices in her mind, "Stop touching it, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."
She immediately looked at the few small insects in her hand, her face full of joy.
Bai Yu looked at the few small insects and found it hard to accept. He simply went outside, found a bamboo tube, and handed it to Yun Jian, saying, "It's not a solution to keep carrying them like this. Put them in here and take them out when you need them."
After saying that, she couldn't help but add a few more words, "Isn't everyone saying that girls are afraid of bugs? Why are you being so strange!"
Xiao Zhen, her eyes sparkling, chimed in, "No way! Girls who play with bugs are so cool, okay?"
Bai Yu scoffed at this.
He turned his head and looked Xiao Zhen up and down seriously. "Why are you always so protective of Yun Jian? Has she bewitched you?"
Xiao Zhen completely scoffed at his question. "Talking about me? Aren't you also quite special to Sister Yun? You say you dislike her for raising insects, but in the end, you still help her find a way to settle the insects. Aren't you the one who's been bewitched?"
The conversation between the two was instantly shrouded in an indescribable and ambiguous meaning.
