Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 89 I Want to Grow Up Quickly
"Settlement task."

Zhao Gang handed his points card to the staff.

The broadcast in the square has just announced that all mercenary missions have come to an end and points can be collected at the service desk.

The staff took the score card and asked Zhao Gang which team he belonged to, and then took back the bracelet representing his identity. After confirming that everything was correct, they asked:

"The total points are 11200 points. In addition, I got one point of contribution to Taoyuan Base. I hope to get 2 points of contribution to the base. Do you need to exchange for other supplies?"

Special reminder: "This is your last chance to enjoy the redemption discount. After you completely exit the task system list, you will redeem materials according to the normal points discount."

Zhao Gang remembered the news that Mo Shigui had told him two days ago and asked, "I want to exchange for a set of home solar power generation equipment, is that okay?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Of course you can. You have met the redemption conditions. One set of solar energy equipment will cost you 1 point of Hope Base Contribution Value, and 12600 Hope Base Points after a % discount."

The staff swiped Zhao Gang's points card again. Although they could not see the total balance, it showed that there was sufficient balance, so it could be redeemed.

"Would you like to exchange it now?"

Zhao Gang: "Yes, exchange it now."

The staff member confirmed again: "We can only approve it for you first. You can then take it to a supply station with stock to exchange it. Are you sure you want to spend some Hope Base contribution points and 12600 points to exchange for a set of solar power generation equipment now?"

"Confirmed," Zhao Gang replied. He already knew where the spot was.

After receiving a definite answer, the staff immediately deducted the points and contribution points and gave Zhao Gang a slip, reminding him to keep it well because it was not waterproof.

"Anything else?" the staff asked patiently.

Zhao Gang first put away the approval slip, then picked up Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was not even as tall as the table, and let her choose for herself if there was anything she needed.

After three days of searching the city, the official troops also found a lot of good things.

For example, various unopened home appliances that home appliance owners once stored in warehouses, which have a long shelf life and are not seriously damaged, are being sold at low prices.

As for food items such as compressed biscuits, dried vegetable packets, expired but still drinkable beverages, etc., the prices are also very reasonable.

It is time-consuming and laborious to bring these supplies back to the base, so it is better to dispose of them directly and recover a lot of points.

As the weather was getting colder, the official troops took out all the warm clothing, hot water bottles and other cold-proof supplies they had found.

But there are actually not many people who exchange supplies. These things can basically be found in the city, but the quality is not as good as those collected by the official.

What really makes mercenaries willing to spend a lot of money is the evolution potion.

I don't know where the rumor came from, but it was said that someone took the evolution potion for the second time and his evolutionary ability was greatly improved.

Therefore, when the contribution value was reached, the first place everyone rushed to was still the biological company.

Anyway, no matter whether it is useful or not, it is better to stock up as many as possible while the biological companies are shipping them generously.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes were unconsciously attracted to the medicine sales point. Zhao Gang asked her several times if she wanted several kinds of supplies, but got no response. Then he realized that his cub was looking around everywhere.

He felt helpless and a little depressed. She had clearly said many times that she didn't need those low-level things, but the cub still kept thinking about them.

"Forget it, I don't need other supplies for the time being." Zhao Gang took his points card back from the staff and gave up the last chance for a discount.

There are now 21810 points remaining on the points card.

The price of an evolution potion is 10000 points, and mercenaries can take advantage of the last 8000% discount and get it for points.

Zhao Gang is no longer the Zhao Gang of the past. He now knows that points are good things and should not be spent indiscriminately.

So he just carried the curious little cub to the medicine selling point to take a look, and then carried her away.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was expecting her father to buy her an evolution potion, but her excitement was cut off. "Dad?" The little girl looked dazed and didn't react.

Zhao Gang didn't rush to explain to her and returned to the temporary camp with the child.

The two mercenaries in charge of guarding the large truck carrying supplies nodded to Zhao Gang, and the two sides made the handover.

Zhao Gang is on duty tonight.

Everyone had a good harvest this time, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But this is under the premise of official suppression.

After completing the mission, they can leave Jiangcheng freely. However, mercenaries like them still need to remain vigilant tonight.

There were a total of 528 mercenaries in the 11 formation, including Zhao Xiaoxiu, and all the collected supplies were on the large truck.

Among these are supplies that are registered under Zhao Gang’s name but actually belong to Mo Shigui and others.

Bound by their own interests, eleven people formed a temporary team and agreed early on that Zhao Gang, the strongest person, would be on duty tonight.

Zhao Gang opened the glass window of the cab which had disappeared long ago, put Zhao Xiaoxiu in first, then he straddled his long legs and sat neatly in the driver's seat.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stood inside the cab, which had no glass windows, cracks all over the front windshield, and only metal frames left of the seats. He first took out the sleeping bag he brought from his backpack, then took great pains to pad the double seat on the co-pilot seat, and then sat down cross-legged with his shoes on.

She didn't say anything either, her eyes fixed on the brightly lit Government Square outside the window, which was flickering.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was very conflicted. She knew in her heart that even if she took the evolution potion, the result would not be any better than it was now.

But on the other hand, things obtained from others do not belong to oneself after all. What if one day all the abilities she has now disappear with the disappearance of her living father, then there will be nothing left.

But the points she earned through her own ability only added up to 7,000 points, and even the discounted evolution potion was not enough to pay for it.

She also noticed her father's disdain for evolution potions, and there was no way he would let her spend her points on them, so she was depressed alone.

After all, I still feel that the abilities I have now came too easily.

Easy come, easier lost.

Zhao Gang glanced at the cub beside him. He hadn't had a proper bath or wash his face for half a month since he went out. Now he was as dirty as a beggar. He curled up in a big sleeping bag with his knees hugged, looking even smaller.

Those eyes that were always bright and full of curiosity and joy now seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog, dim and lifeless.

The cub's emotions are so easy to capture. When it's happy, its whole body glows and beautiful bubbles bloom.

When you are unhappy, even the light will become dim.

Zhao Gang frowned. He didn't like the disappearance of the only color in his eyes, and he even felt scared about it.

He asked nervously, "Why?"

He knew that she was not sad because she failed to obtain the evolution potion.

Zhao Xiaoxiu slowly raised her head and turned to him, saying dejectedly, "I really want to grow up quickly."

When Zhao Gang heard this, he was obviously relieved.

"Then you can eat more." He said seriously.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Okay."

The sadness suddenly disappeared!
