Chapter 196 Half a Crystal (23)
The word "easy to store" is really perfect.
I really don't know how Brother Zhang could say such words in such a calm tone.
But it must be said that the weapons Brother Zhang recommended to the three of them, both in terms of grade and practicality, are very suitable for their own characteristics.
Huang Jinghe decided this was the one without much hesitation.
But when it came to Lao Gao, after looking for a while, he still felt that the wooden barrel was the most suitable for him, and there was a wooden barrel on the counter that was particularly suitable for him.
This wooden gun is called Cang Yan. It does not require a sub-bow when used. When combined with fire abilities, it can launch fire-type sub-bows with extremely strong lethality. It is a second-level weapon and requires 20,000 contribution points. The reason why this wooden gun is expensive is its material. Anyway, it is quite practical.
But, can these things really be produced by the people of Blue Star?
Lan Jin always felt that it was a little unrealistic.
"Brother Zhang, why don't you tell us honestly? In fact, our Blue Planet has long been occupied by alien creatures. In fact, we can accept such an outcome."
"That's right. We know we're limited, but this is beyond our comprehension. I always feel it's a little unreal."
"Who isn't? Brother Zhang, just tell the truth. We can accept it."
Seeing their genuine expressions, Brother Zhang couldn't help but laugh. "I really am... This is truly a product of our Blue Planet. There's no doubt about it. These weapons are all infused with high-tech elements. I can't tell you the details, but it's definitely something we can produce with our current technology."
"But, this is too unreal. We know we are not very knowledgeable, but we didn't expect to be so ignorant." Lan Jin still couldn't believe it.
Brother Zhang sighed and said, "Well, it's normal that some things are out of reach for ordinary people, so it's normal that you can't understand them. But the base is so big and it's official, so they definitely won't cheat you."
Lao Gao said, "May I ask you a question? Where did the crystal on this ring come from? Before the apocalypse, there shouldn't have been any crystals like this on our Blue Planet."
"You don't really think the apocalypse will come suddenly and we're unprepared, do you?" Brother Zhang said, interrupting, "These are confidential. With my authority, I can't reveal more to you. But we've already discovered and used crystals with powerful energy like this before the apocalypse. And besides, we're leaving the day after tomorrow. Can you tell me the answer by tomorrow?"
The four of them were silent.
The main reason is that they know too little, so their curiosity naturally grows.
Right now.
It is really uncomfortable to know a little bit and then feel that your curiosity is hanging in the balance.
But no matter how painful it is, you can't risk your life to block it.
The four of them glanced at each other and replied, "Again, let's think about it. This is such a dangerous matter, it concerns our lives, we can't agree to it so easily."
"Okay, now that we've chosen our weapons, why not go check out?"
Lan Jin had enough contribution points in his residence permit, so he could pay it directly. Brother Zhang was not surprised that Lan Jin could come up with so many contribution points. Only capable people can survive to this day. Since he has the ability, how could he not come up with a mere 50,000 contribution points?
Otherwise, would he be so humble to "discuss" this matter with them?
After paying the bills one by one, they returned to the first floor again, and the mutant snakes had already been counted.
The staff member said to Brother Zhang, "There are 504 crystals in total, so there are 504 snakes in total. However, some were broken in the battle. For fear of infection from the toxins, these poisonous ones were removed. A total of 437 snakes are edible, and all the crystals are well preserved."
After that, the staff member asked, "How are these mutant snakes distributed?"
Brother Zhang didn't hesitate and said to the staff, "These four people killed all these snakes. The contribution points they earned can be divided equally among the four of them."
The staff member was originally working on the first floor and had naturally witnessed what had just happened. She nodded and then said to the four of them, "Since these mutant snakes are extremely thin and have little meat, we are calculating them by the snake itself. Each snake is worth 10 contribution points. Those that are damaged and inedible are not counted. So the total is 437 snakes, which is a total of 4370 contribution points. However, the crystals are all intact..."
Speaking of crystals, the staff member looked in Zhang's direction again, and then Zhang explained to her, "Because the place where you killed the snakes is at the entrance of the base, the base also provides a certain degree of protection, so forget about the snakes, but the base will take half of the crystals, and the other half belongs to you. It depends on whether you want to take it all or exchange it for contribution points with the base."
After saying this, he worried that the four of them might not understand or might feel uncomfortable after hearing it, so Brother Zhang tried to explain, "Because this is at the entrance of the base, they're taking this kind of cut. Actually, half of the snake meat should also be taken. But if you get crystals or other things outside and then bring them to the base to exchange, the base won't take this kind of cut. It's what it is."
They understood what I heard. If all bases were the same, they could understand. But if only this base was like this...
Brother Zhang said helplessly, "It's all the same, all the same. At least the official bases are all the same. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, our people have been holding out for a while, and we also spread a lot of realgar to isolate the snakes. The final cleanup work was also done by us, so..."
Well, this is my first time experiencing everything, and I don’t know what emotions I should have for a moment, but Brother Zhang’s explanation seems to make sense.
But even if it's not justifiable, they can still fight or something.
However, the rabbits were not divided equally like this before. I think this is the first time it happens. Brother Zhang should just forgive them.
I have to say, if it weren't for the invasion of mutant snakes, they might have known the rules a long time ago.
After dividing half of the 504 crystals, there are 252 left. Lao Gao did not hesitate to keep them all. After all, they are fire crystals, so whether they are taken or not is up to Lao Gao.
After taking down the crystal, the backpacks of the four of them came in handy again. Each of them carried a little bit in their backpack, so they didn't get tired.
Seeing that their business had come to an end, Brother Zhang asked again, "Why don't you go make a phone call first? After that, we can have dinner together."
After Brother Zhang finished speaking, he pointed to the time behind them and said, "Although it's dinner time now, it's also when the busiest people are. If your parents are at the base, they should be able to be contacted quickly."
