Chapter 78: Chapter 75: Spoils

If Cindy hadn’t chimed in, the price definitely wouldn’t have been so favorable.

In any case, by the end of this battle, the cost for the two of them was nearly five hundred silver coins, mainly due to excessive ammunition consumption.

The largest chunk of this cost was the final sweep with the vehicle-mounted machine gun, which devoured bullets at an alarming rate.

And the profit from this battle was roughly around ten thousand silver coins, which can really be considered a windfall.

However, the faction that bought the Wolf King’s corpse said they couldn’t produce that many silver coins now and would complete the transaction at the Zhou Three Settlement.

The Flower Scorpion, having earned such a considerable sum, decisively gave Cindy a hundred-currency silver note as a reward.

Others were a bit puzzled watching this—since when did they get so chummy?

Early the next morning, everyone began to clean up the battlefield.

The Flower Scorpion rented a suite, letting Qu Jianlei sleep soundly in the inner room while she kept watch while napping in the outer room.

Generally speaking, the supply station was relatively safe, and Qu Jianlei slept for a whole day and night.

He woke up at dawn, feeling refreshed, and after a great meal, was ready to hit the road.

Cindy had already asked for leave from the supply station.

Though her income wasn’t high, with the care of her late husband’s comrades, she lived relatively freely at the supply station.

Qu Jianlei, however, confirmed with her again—”You already have a hundred silver coins; are you sure you still want to adventure with us?”

But Cindy saw it quite clearly—a hundred silver coins could help us for a while, but surely not a lifetime?

The reality was that she couldn’t accompany her daughter long-term, and she also worried about her daughter’s growth.

The Flower Scorpion quietly told Qu Jianlei, ”This is where her partner perished and their livelihood was taken... ”

”In such a heartbreaking place, would any woman want to stay?”

Qu Jianlei formally accepted Cindy into the group.

The journey lasted a day and a night, eventually bringing them to the Zhou Three Settlement, where outside the city, they met Cindy’s daughter, Claire.

She was a short, stout girl, twelve years old, standing just over 1.4 meters, but she looked particularly sturdy.

The girl’s eyes shone with a defiant glint, seeming very opinionated.

Her attitude towards her mother was alright, but she was quite cold towards Qu Jianlei and the Flower Scorpion.

However, upon seeing the massive Wolf King’s carcass, her demeanor towards Qu Jianlei shifted, and she became much friendlier to the Flower Scorpion as well.

To be an adventurer who could slay a Wolf King, and to have done it with a blade, fulfilled all a little girl’s fantasies of strength.

The mother-daughter duo’s settlement status was still intact, so bringing Qu Jianlei and the other inside wasn’t an issue.

However, right at the city gates, the trucks carrying the Wolf King were immediately surrounded.

These were well-informed factions, aware that the night before last, a supply station had been besieged by a wolf pack.

Everyone knew that a deal for the big Wolf King had been struck, but... wasn’t there another smaller one?

Luckily, Cindy had lived in Zhou Three Settlement for quite some time and decisively declared, ”We want to enter the settlement to sell.”

In the Wasteland, strong power is the best protection. Without Qu Jianlei and the Flower Scorpion, Cindy wouldn’t dare say such things.

Now, everyone gathering around knew that it was these two who killed the two Wolf Kings and allowed the supply station’s people to escape with their lives.

Faced with such powerful beings, who would dare to chatter?

The guards at the city gates didn’t even ask them to remove their veils, nor did they check their identity; they let them in directly.

In their words, these were the heroes who saved many survivors, and identities didn’t matter.

If it weren’t for them killing the Wolf King and routing the Frost Wolf pack at the supply station, the surrounding wild outposts would also be in trouble.

Without the leadership of the wolves, the pack wouldn’t maintain such a large group, and once dispersed, the wild outposts would be much easier to defend.

The people in the settlement looked down on the wild outpost folks, but after all, weren’t they all human?

Without the outside adventurers, the settlement’s safety and supplies couldn’t be guaranteed.

So the guards’ attitude was quite understandable; even vehicles with weapons and ammo could enter the city.

They were even quite courteous to Cindy.

After entering the city, Cindy took the two to a cold storage, rented a compartment to store the Wolf King, then went to collect another payment for the Wolf King.

There were no pretentious comeuppance scenes; who would risk provoking those who had slain a Frost Wolf King?

Then Cindy found an agent, expressing that they would auction off the Wolf King the next day—Wasteland also had similar rules to maximize profit.

Then she took the two on a big shopping spree, but what irked Qu Jianlei a bit was that energy blocks here were sold at very high prices.

When he was at Hongwu Settlement, purchasing energy blocks cost about seventy silver coins apiece, but here it was actually a hundred and ten silver coins.

Even at this price, the Energy Block Store stated: it’s a discount because you killed the Wolf King!

——————

Chapter 76 The Treatment of Experts (fourth update celebrating Silver Fan Brother 3/5)

Qu Jianlei was quite dissatisfied with the price of energy blocks; this time, he planned to buy fifty energy blocks.

That’s five thousand five hundred silver coins gone at once, did that mean the Wolf King was slain for nothing?

If they were bought at Hongwu, three thousand five hundred silver coins would’ve sufficed, this difference... two thousand silver coins?

Indeed, when he bought them at Hongwu Settlement, he used gold, but the price difference was still too vast, wasn’t it?

He glanced at the Flower Scorpion, who couldn’t help but comment, ”Shouldn’t energy blocks be a hundred silver coins?”
