Xia Luoxue said, "Gene enhancement potions are very expensive. Even the lowest grade costs 50 energy points. My bracelet is worth 2 energy points."
"What? 50 energy points is only 25 bags of potato chips? Is that considered expensive? And this bracelet of yours, so high-tech, only costs 2 energy points? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ji Xian complained.
"You're not wrong!"
Xia Luoxue said very seriously, "Isn't this many energy points enough?"
It's important to understand that energy points aren't produced by every mutated creature. Only mutated creatures that absorb enough abnormal energy from nature can produce them.
Mutated creatures that produce energy crystals will have very high physical strength and defense.
Like the giant wolf we just saw, it could withstand ordinary bullets, but it only produced 1.5 energy points. Killing such a mutated creature would be extremely risky; a slight mistake could mean certain death.
Xia Luoxue had no choice but to fight the giant wolf just now; she usually doesn't want to provoke these mutated creatures.
It's not that we can't defeat mutated creatures, but if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
One mistake, and you're dead.
So, earning energy points isn't that easy.
Only someone like Ji Xian would think that energy points are cheap.
Moreover, is there anyone who measures energy points by the deliciousness of food?
Xia Luoxue thought to herself, and gently bit her lip.
Who exactly is this guy? He's way too arrogant!
Xia Luoxue wished she could kidnap Ji Xian again.
But in the end, it was just a thought.
Ultimately, Xia Luoxue was much kinder than the others in the apocalypse.
The kidnapping of Ji Xian was merely a momentary act of greed.
In this dog-eat-dog world, what Xia Luoxue did is nothing special.
However, now that she realizes Ji Xian is different from the others in the apocalypse, Xia Luoxue is unwilling to take action against him, feeling guilty about doing so.
Yes, it's guilt.
In this kind of world, there is something that should never exist.
Ji Xian, unaware of Xia Luoxue's thoughts, pointed to the giant wolf carcass on the ground and asked, "What are you going to do with this thing?"
Xia Luoxue snapped out of her daze and said, "Just leave it here, don't worry about it."
Ji Xian asked hesitantly, "Can't we eat meat?"
Xia Luoxue looked at Ji Xian as if he were an idiot, but then patiently told him some information about this world.
Mutant organisms are not edible. If you want to eat them, you can only do so by turning them into a nutrient solution using a machine.
Ji Xian then asked, "Can't we sell this big guy's carcass to a company that extracts nutrient solution?"
Xia Luoxue: "That's fine, but the company that extracts the nutrient solution is too far from here. They probably won't arrive until tomorrow. We'll have to guard this corpse, and it will attract a lot of nocturnal creatures at night. We won't be able to hold it off."
"Oh." Ji Xian understood why Xia Luoxue was leaving such a large corpse unattended.
In the modern world, meat from such a large animal could be grilled, stir-fried, steamed, braised, deep-fried...
Since he couldn't eat meat, Ji Xian lost interest.
"Let's go, let's go to the house we were at before."
As Ji Xian spoke, he walked forward.
Before, Ji Xian didn't know how dangerous this world was, so he dared to roam around. Now that he knows, he thinks it's better to find a safe place first.
Xia Luoxue followed behind Ji Xian.
Watching Ji Xian's unguarded back, Xia Luoxue reached out her hand, then withdrew it, then reached out again, then withdrew it again.
I really want to tie him up!
They forced information out of him about the supplies!
But what if he doesn't tell me?
well.
Xia Luoxue hesitated several times, but decided against it.
Since she had already injected a nano-tracker into Ji Xian's body, there was no need for her to offend him openly again.
Enter the house we were in before.
Ji Xian discovered that the place had been completely renovated and showed obvious signs of habitation.
Ji Xian still remembered how dirty the house had been before.
I couldn't help but praise, "You cleaned this place so well!"
Xia Luoxue blushed, turned her face away, and said awkwardly, "I didn't know when you would appear, and I didn't know how long I would have to wait here, so I just tidied up a bit."
Xia Luoxue seemed to really enjoy being praised, which surprised Ji Xian.
"You waited here specifically for me?" Ji Xian asked, puzzled.
Xia Luoxue suddenly realized that she had let something slip and revealed some more information.
Since she had already traded the fact that she injected a nano tracker into Ji Xian's body for the price of a bag of potato chips, what information couldn't she tell him?
Xia Luoxue held up one finger: "Add a bag of potato chips, and I'll tell you everything."
“Hey,” Ji Xian couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This girl is too cute. “Okay, I’ll give you another bag of potato chips later. Tell me everything you should and shouldn’t tell me.”
Xia Luoxue revealed her plans targeting Ji Xian and what would follow.
To be honest, Ji Xian was quite surprised when he heard this.
"These things should be kept secret. You shouldn't have told me, but you just blurted them out like that?"
Ji Xian could hardly believe it.
Xia Luoxue said seriously, "Secrets are secrets, and deals are deals. These are secrets to me, but once I use these secrets as a condition of a deal, I must tell you the truth."
"Well……"
Ji Xian still couldn't understand.
Overall, Xia Luoxue is an honest child.
Xia Luoxue continued, "Perhaps you don't understand, but these are my principles and bottom lines as a human being. There are some principles and bottom lines that I must abide by. Once I lose these, I feel that I am no different from those bullies, bandits, and cannibals. I am afraid that one day I will lose my humanity and become like those people."
