Chapter 64 This man is too stingy!
Uncle Wu said the courtyard he arranged could be vacated within two months, but nothing is absolute. It's better to check out several places to be prepared. Next time I go to District 48, I can check out the official real estate agency.
And most importantly, there are savings reserves.
Having seen many billionaires from his previous life, Zuo Shan would never consider a savings of a few hundred thousand yuan as a huge sum, unlike a local scavenger.
Especially after buying two things for Modiland Shield, I realized how quickly money disappears.
So the most urgent task is still to make money!
When she thought of money, she first thought of the vacuum-packed liver of a second-tier mutated argali sheep that she had left over from yesterday. The taste of this dish wasn't bad when she made it, and if she sold it to Wu Qiong, it should be worth at least more than the cost price.
What's more, someone has already paid for the costs, so this is practically a risk-free business, hehehe!
I searched everywhere but couldn't find the vacuum-packed lamb liver. I asked Mao Li and found out that he had taken it with him when he left.
"Ugh! I'm so angry! How can this man be so stingy! Isn't he supposed to be a big shot? Isn't he supposed to demand a hundredfold repayment? In the end, he even wants to take a piece of lamb liver!" Zuo Shan pounded her chest and stomped her feet, cursing him in circles!
A thousand miles away on a supersonic fighter jet, Modilan suddenly sneezed. His assistant, Matt, widened his eyes: "Sir, is this a heatstroke?"
This incident involving the adults is all his fault for not thinking things through.
First, the adult's personal guard suffered a defeat in the annual Central District Grand Tournament, and in a fit of anger, the adult banished them to the Devil's Forest for training. There were countless high-level beasts there, making it the harshest training ground for the scions of great families.
Then, his personal assistant's younger brother got into a fight at school and injured his liver, putting his life in danger, which is why he took leave to go to the hospital.
In the end, the adult took on the seemingly simple task of exterminating rats alone, in place of his cousin.
If there had been a guard team or his assistant by the master's side at the time, the master certainly wouldn't have been so easily ambushed.
After the incident, he immediately realized that this was a trap set in advance by the mastermind behind the scenes, in order to isolate and leave the adults helpless.
He sent people everywhere to search for the adults, while also finding someone to investigate the whole story.
It turned out that the low-altitude aircraft the adult was riding in flew directly to a desert thousands of miles away after the accident, and both the man and the aircraft disappeared without a trace.
The adult's wristwatch is of the highest level, with a hidden satellite positioning function. As long as he refuses to communicate or actively turns it off, no one can contact him.
When Matt couldn't find any trace of the adults, he was so desperate that he even considered committing suicide to atone for his sins.
What worries him even more is that all of the adult's daily necessities are stored in his personal space. Without him by his side, the adult will not only lack the medicine and medical equipment needed after being injured, but also will not have a change of clothes or food.
Matt's hair has turned several strands white from worry. It's a pity he's only twenty-five years old, just turned 18, and in the prime of his youth.
Fortunately, the master finally contacted him, so he immediately led the master's close guard team, piloting the fastest fighter jet, to the designated location to meet the master.
However, when Matt first saw the adult, he couldn't help but burst into tears. The adult was actually wearing a tattered sack and standing next to a dirty bamboo rat's nest!
Have you been living like this these past few days, enduring wind and rain, surviving by hunting low-level mutated beasts like bamboo rats?
Waaaaah! My lord has suffered so much!
The adult was seriously injured this time, so much so that even as an ice-attribute ability user, he couldn't withstand the high temperature of the extremely hot weather and caught a heatstroke.
Poor adults!
Feeling the strange look in his assistant's eyes, Moriland couldn't help but frown. It had been years since he had sneezed, so it was no wonder Matt didn't understand.
Then he remembered the lamb liver he had put in his spatial storage, and his brows furrowed even more. He had made a point of taking it with him when he left.
Given the woman's gluttony, he had no doubt that she would share the lamb liver with her iron-eating beast cub after he left.
Eating two pills won't cause any problems, but eating too many will definitely cause her to explode and die. So he's not being stingy; he's saving her life!
All things considered, this was the third time he had saved her life (twice with lamb liver, once with Boss Tong), and she had repaid his life-saving grace twice over.
Completely relieved of his psychological burden, the man sighed and continued to close his eyes to rest.
**
Although the lamb liver was taken away, the first-aid kit was left behind. It contained common household medicines and suture tools for external injuries, so it was still a bargain.
Zuo Shan was no longer angry. She thought she would rest for a day and continue scavenging tomorrow. However, she dared not go to the bamboo forest alone again. It would be safer to scavenge with the group.
Just as she was thinking about scavenging, her wristwatch suddenly lit up. She looked up and saw that it was Jia Yiming calling. More than a month had passed since he and Jiang Sha helped her make furniture, and she didn't expect him to contact her suddenly.
"Hello! Brother Jia!"
"Hello! I have a spot for a field trip. It doesn't pay much, but it's safe. I don't take a cut, so you keep all the earnings. Do you want to go?" Jia Yiming asked directly.
"Go, of course we'll go! I'm just wondering where to scavenge tomorrow. Even if the gathering missions organized by your mercenary group don't pay much, they'll still yield more than what we lone wolves can manage by messing around in the wild." Zuo Shan grinned from ear to ear.
"Go if you want to. This time, the task is to collect the flowers of the small moonflower. It has anti-radiation properties, but only when fresh; it's useless once dried."
This task was assigned by higher-ups. Collect enough small moonflower flowers and send them to the processing plant. After adding special materials, they can be used to make radiation-proof fabric.
However, the small moonflower itself contains a small amount of toxins and cannot be eaten. The task of collecting it is not difficult, so the reward is not high.
Most of the mercenary team's families felt that doing this mission was not worthwhile; it was tiring and there wasn't much profit to be made. I was even worried that I wouldn't be able to sell this spot.
Don't worry, if you work hard all day, you should be able to earn 50 to 80 silver coins, and this time there's no fare.
Jia Yiming spoke very frankly. Last time, she made such a sumptuous lunch for him and Jiang Sha, and he thought she was a good person and planned to cooperate with her long-term.
Unfortunately, the mercenary group has been out hunting mutated beasts lately and hasn't taken on any gathering missions. When they finally get a turn, it's one with no reward.
Zuo Shan didn't care much about the few dozen silver coins; what interested her was the Little Moon Sunflower, a species she had never seen before, and she wanted to go and broaden her horizons.
