Chapter 78: Extremely Hot on the Eve of Battle
The 307th day of doomsday.
Qiao Xinghe drew an insect repellent spray, and all of Qiao Qiao’s blind box cards these days are N-level cards.
The house is guarded by Yueying, Xiaoqiao and Qiaoman. After spraying the system-produced insect repellent spray once a day in addition to ordinary insecticides, not even a mosquito can enter.
Although she stayed at home all the time, she checked the messages in the chat channel every day.
The federal government has no way to deal with mosquitoes. Ordinary insecticides can only repel mosquitoes temporarily but cannot eliminate them permanently.
Even after repeated use, mosquitoes have now become resistant to the pesticide.
If the federal government is like this, the people are suffering even more.
Currently, there are only two proven most effective methods. The first is to use mutant creatures to drive away mosquitoes, but this method is more dangerous than mosquito invasion. After all, mutant creatures can hardly be tamed unless there is help from cards.
The second method is to use various insect repellent cards produced by the system, such as insect repellent spray, insect repellent pills, insect repellent powder, etc. Unfortunately, they are not enough for your own use, let alone trading.
Although there are problems within the Federation, it is really the only thing ordinary people can rely on in times of crisis.
Qiao Qiao contacted Tang Mingli in advance. She often shared survival tips in the chat channel before, and the two of them had already added each other as friends. "I want to make a deal with the Federation."
Tang Mingli had just returned to the Federation and took off the fire suit he had received from the fire department. "What deal?"
"I have an R-level card insect repellent spray and an R-level card water purification pill in my hand."
Tang Mingli paused.
The people around him asked, "Captain Tang, what's wrong?"
She waved her hand, left the crowd, and returned to the house before continuing to reply: "What do you want?"
"Contribution points, and you must ensure that these two cards are handed over to the research institute instead of being taken away by some people for their own enjoyment."
Tang Mingli thought that he had made the right choice. "Okay, if the research results come out, I'll give you a few copies first."
"I need to ask the director for the specific number of contribution points. Each card should be around 100. Because these two cards are consumable, so it will be..."
Qiao Qiao: “Okay.”
She trusted Tang Mingli's character, so she traded the cards to him first.
After receiving the card, Tang Mingli immediately went to the director's office.
When the director saw her, he waved and handed her a document. "Mingli, you've come at the right time. Here is a new discovery about the insect plague."
Tang Mingli took it and put it aside. "We'll talk about the other things later. Director, take a look at this first."
"R-level cards?" The director took it nonchalantly. When he saw the words on it, his calm expression lost control. "Where did you get these two cards?"
Tang Mingli did not reveal Qiao Qiao's identity. Since she did not trade directly with the Federation but found him instead, it meant that she did not want to deal with the authorities.
"It's a friend. She doesn't want to reveal her identity, so don't ask."
The director nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank her for me." Then he immediately calmed down. "Does she have any requests?"
Tang Mingli did not hide anything and directly told the other party what Qiao Qiao wanted.
The director's expression changed after hearing this, and a hint of admiration flashed across his calm face. "That's right, give her a total of 300 contribution points."
Then he pointed at the folder on the table. "Take a look at this report. The Vanguard Squad has discovered a B-level mission at the Central Subway Station, hunting down a mutant animal worm queen in its growth stage. So far, this is the first time a B-level mission has been discovered in the Northeast. The difficulty is self-evident. The Federation is preparing to form a special team to clear it out. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Tang Mingli quickly glanced at the content, "I think the God of Food can provide remote assistance. I suggest that Xia Momo should not leave the bureau until she solves her problem of being afraid of heat. Although the madman is not mentally stable, his strength is obvious to all, so he can be considered..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued, "There's another person I know who's very suitable, but I need to ask her opinion. I'll give you an answer tonight."
"good."
Northeastern Institute.
The old director stood in front of the stage and gave a passionate encouragement speech, "Children, in the past, everyone always complained that all the major projects were occupied by the capital area, and we could only borrow some of the scraps they didn't want for research.
Now, we have obtained an important experimental sample, and we have been given a week to research and produce a replica. Can we do it?"
"able!"
The researchers below responded one after another, and each of them was full of fighting spirit as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
In the afternoon, Qiao Qiao received 300 contribution points transferred from Tang Mingli, and her savings increased to 552.
"So, do you want to join this mission? The reward is generous, 100 contribution points and two months of vacation."
Qiao Qiao looked at Xiao Qiao who was sitting beside her, with one tail wrapped around her front paws and the other sweeping behind her, looking elegant and charming.
[Add a tail to C-level tasks (only once) Add a tail to B-level tasks (only three times)]
C-level tasks are useless for Xiao Qiao, only B can allow her to add a tail.
She had never carried out a B-level mission before, although with Yueying and Qiao Man, she should be able to complete it. But just in case, it would be a good idea to test the waters with the official this time.
"Okay, when do we leave?"
Tang Mingli finally let go of her worries. She didn't know why the madman refused this mission. It would be hard to succeed if she and the auxiliary God of Cookery were the only ones to help. With the help of Qiao Qiao, who was also an SR-level card drawer, there should be no problem.
"The number of insects at the mission location is hundreds of times that of other places. We will set out as soon as the research institute invents insect repellent."
"no problem."
The 314th day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao and Qiao Huizhou each accumulated enough opportunities to draw ten cards in a row.
Qiao Qiao drew an R-rated card, [Cooling Spray Card]
Qiao Huizhou drew two R-rated cards, [Sunscreen Card] and [Seismograph]
[Seismograph: can predict all earthquakes within 100 kilometers 5 minutes in advance]
Qiao Huizhou asked: "Qiao Qiao, will there be an earthquake in the future?"
She nodded. "Yes, although it only flashed by in the dream, the whole city is in ruins."
Qiao Xinghe frowned, "In this case, we need to prepare in advance. It's okay to put all the things in the house into the system backpack."
The seismograph is very small, somewhat like an hourglass, but it is not filled with sand, but a small Si Nan rotating in a bottle.
In the past few days, Qiao Qiao's blind box cards have changed series three times, and finally drew 2 R-level cards, both of which are from the Summer Vacation series.
[Air Conditioning Card] and [Ice Mist Cooling Parasol]
[Ice mist cooling parasol: There is a special refrigerator box built into the umbrella handle. After the refrigerator box sprays ice mist, it automatically absorbs the heat from the surrounding environment, keeping the temperature under the umbrella at 25℃, 3 hours each time, 20/20]
During this period, Qiao Qiao would put a batch of supplies on the trading mall every three days.
[Trade a set of 10 anti-heat medicines for any N-level card] *2000
[10 anthelmintics for any N-level card] *2000
Before I knew it, the number of N-level cards in my hand had exceeded 10,000.
Even though many of the cards are useless to other people, there are still quite a few that can be used by Qiao Qiao.
Such as two sets of classic suspense novels, a set of legendary martial arts novels, a set of beautiful romance novels, etc., which are perfect for killing time in your spare time.
After lunch that day, Qiao Qiao received a message from Tang Mingli.
“Insect repellent spray has been developed!”
