The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 765 Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 32
For Su Yu, who had borrowed money to buy all the supplies, this was a significant source of income.

Lin Yue, who was carefully prying the shell with the tip of her knife, looked up when she heard this, waved her hand, and said in a relaxed tone with a hint of disgust: "No need, no need! You can dig them all out if you need them! That stuff is sticky and disgusting to look at, and it's a huge hassle to deal with."

She meant it sincerely.

Fifty mirror coins might be important to Su Yu, but for someone from the Lin family, it might not even be enough for her to have a meal.

If Lin Yue weren't afraid that saying "I'll give it all to you" would make Su Yu feel like she was giving her charity or looking down on her, she would have even let Su Yu take those thankless beast cores as well.

She dug out a beast core and then lost interest.

These one-star beast cores were of limited value to her, but for Su Yu, they were not something she could easily give up.

Zhou Ming grinned and said, "Yeah, Su Yu, you're so skillful, you do it! We're all clumsy, we don't want to puncture those glands and waste things!"

He values ​​the thrill of battle more and has little interest in these delicate tasks.

Wang Jingnan had a good understanding of the personalities and backgrounds of the students in his class. After a little thought, he came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

He looked at Su Yu and suggested sincerely, "Su Yu, since you are good at handling this and so efficient, let Zhou Ming, Ding Yan, Zhu Rao, Ren Miao, Bai Wei and I hand over all the Red-Eyed Grasshoppers we hunted to you for processing! Consider the spitting glands as your labor fee, you just need to dig out the beast cores completely for us."

His suggestion was ingenious.

Using the spittoon sacs, which others might not value but Su Yu needs, as payment would allow Su Yu to gain more practical benefits, while also saving time for those who had lost interest in or found the process of mining beast cores troublesome. It sounded like a fair deal.

Of course, he could only represent himself and the small group funded by the Wang family; he had no say in the spoils of war of others.

"Great! Su Yu, thank you for your help!" Zhou Ming was the first to respond enthusiastically. He couldn't wait for someone to help him with these tasks, so that he could free up some time to dig some more traps around the camp.

"Su Yu, please!" Chen Xingye immediately chimed in. He was trying to take advantage of the time to observe the changes in the sky and try to deduce how long spring would last in the Giant Toe Meadow. He really didn't want to waste time on repetitive work.

Zhao Wuchen didn't speak, but he moved the insect corpses he had killed over there, and also moved two unclaimed ones next to him, which were probably killed by multiple people, to Su Yu's vicinity. The meaning was clear - these are all yours to deal with, and you can decide how to divide the spoils.

Moran killed the most insect corpses. Seeing this, she walked over to Su Yu, pointed out her spoils, and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble."

She wanted to wander around the camp to see if there were any other opportunities to fight; she hadn't had enough of the fighting just now!

Lin Yue had originally intended to give it to Su Yu, so she had no objections. The other classmates also expressed their agreement with this "deal".

Su Yu looked at her classmates' reactions and remained silent for a moment.

She wasn't stupid; she understood that this arrangement was partly intended to help her family's financial situation. However, the "transaction" proposed by Wang Jingnan, and the reasons others gave for finding it troublesome, seemed perfectly reasonable and protected her self-esteem to the greatest extent possible. She wasn't pretentious; she understood the realities of survival and the preciousness of opportunity.

She needed to use her skills to acquire more resources.

“…Okay.” She responded softly, saying nothing more, but immediately lowered her head and began wielding the dagger in her hand again, this time even faster than before, as if she wanted to integrate her gratitude into her efficient work.

She first quickly gathered the insect corpses on the ground, precisely extracted the beast cores, wiped them clean, and handed them to the others before starting to process the spittoon sacs inside the insect corpses as "rewards".

After processing all the valuable materials, only the scattered remains of more than twenty Red-Eyed Grasshoppers remained on the ground. The green sap and residual slime began to emit an increasingly strong stench, which was not only unpleasant to smell but also likely to attract other Mirror Beasts that were fond of carrion or had a keen sense of smell.

Wang Jingnan frowned slightly and took out an exquisite glass bottle from his storage mirror. Half of the bottle contained a grayish-green liquid.

"Zhou Ming, you guys spread this 'highly effective corpse-dissolving liquid' evenly on the insect corpses, clean them up thoroughly, and don't leave any smell or contamination."

He spoke casually, as if this were just routine procedure.

Su Yu, who was standing next to her, was about to take out her usual deodorizing powder when she heard the name "powerful purifying solution." Her hand, which was reaching for her backpack, froze, and her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

She recognized it, or rather, had heard of it.

The high-end product from the apothecary workshop is said to be able to quickly decompose organic matter and neutralize most of the residual energy and odors. Its effects are indeed outstanding, but the price is extremely expensive. This small bottle is worth more than all the materials on this pile of red-eyed grasshoppers on the ground!

In the low-star mirror space, no one would use such a thing to dispose of corpses; it's too uneconomical.

This is... outrageously extravagant!

She couldn't help but speak, her voice slightly hoarse: "Um... Wang Jingnan, there's really no need to use this. The deodorizing powder is enough. We just need to dig a deep pit, bury these insect corpses, and then sprinkle a thick layer of deodorizing powder on top, which will block out most of the odor."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingnan readily agreed, readily putting away the expensive bottle of medicine and nodding in approval.
"You're right, I didn't think it through. Let's do it your way, saving money is very important. Zhou Ming, Xiang Yufan, dig the pit! Ding Yan, Zhu Rao, help move the insect corpses!"

Su Yu just breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had finally made up for the unnecessary waste. Just as she was about to take out her deodorizing powder, she saw Wang Jingnan looking down and rummaging through his storage equipment again, and soon took out another more gorgeous gold bottle.

“Since the smell might cause trouble, simply covering it up isn’t enough.” He shook the small golden bottle in his hand. “This is ‘Three-Star Beast Repellent Potion.’ It’s extracted from the scent of three-star mirror beasts and can effectively repel one-star and some two-star mirror beasts, preventing them from easily approaching the sprayed area. Spray it around the protective fence and traps we just built in our camp, and there shouldn’t be any foolish mirror beasts disturbing our rest.”

Su Yu: "..."

She had never heard of this potion before, but she knew from the bottle that it was valuable, especially since it was a "three-star" potion, its price far exceeding that of the "corpse-dissolving water" beast-repelling potion she had just seen.
