87 Encounter - 88 Awake (two in one chapter)(2/3)
"Knowledge is something that you always pick up faster and faster," Qu Jianlei smiled.
This hunting was very tiring, but his reading speed improved a lot.
Geng Shoufong accepts this explanation. In fact, there are many repeated knowledge points in most books.
When he saw the other party taking out a banknote to pay the rent, he was a little surprised, "Do you need a banknote now?"
Then he looked at the mutated beast's body again and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you don't care about the maintenance engineer's work."
"It's harmful, don't mention it," Qu Jianlei said, feeling a little depressed, "I often encounter some unhappy things."
Geng Shougong was not surprised at all by his words. He smiled and asked, "Then why do you take such a risk?"
"This is life," Qu Jianlei replied calmly.
Well, Geng Shougong didn't bother to argue with him, "Are these mutant beasts for sale?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cindy, her daughter, and Spencer came back from purchasing materials.
Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "You can talk to them, I'm not interested in such trivial matters."
Geng Shougong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: You are doing big things, but I am only qualified to talk about small things?
He is responsible for the maintenance engineer assessment of the entire Zhouliu settlement, and is one of the most important figures in the settlement.
However, although he has great power, he is not rich in money, so he publishes books to subsidize the funds.
Of course, this is also the amazing potential shown by Qu Jianlei, otherwise he would not break this example.
In any case, such a large number of mutated beasts are not suitable for people under the skin to negotiate prices, and they are worthy of his calculation.
It seems that there are many hunters in Zeulu, but a considerable part of the prey will not stay in Zeulu.
Chapter 88: Alert (fourth update)
When Geng Shougong was bargaining with Cindy, there were some twists and turns.
Cindy thought that the price offered by the other party was good. After all, he was from the city and had considerable status.
But when it came to the transaction, there were differences, and Geng Shougong actually wanted to pay with a banknote issued by Zhou Liu.
Cindy simply refused. Not only were the banknotes issued in the settlement not very versatile, they would also be discounted when converting them.
She said that if you insist on using this kind of banknote to settle the bill, you can only calculate the price at a 50% discount.
Geng Shougong couldn't bear it when he heard this. He said that he would give you a discount of 10% at most, and there would never be any further reduction.
Each settlement in Zhouzi District will issue its own banknotes, and the actual purchasing power will be discounted, but the discount rate is different.
For example, the silver notes issued by Zhou San where Cindy is located are calculated at a 30% discount on silver dollars around settlements.
Zhou Liu also has these problems, but Geng Shougong is also proud to be a Zhou Liu person, saying that our banknotes are valuable.
10% off is already my last level of tolerance, and you actually want to give me 50% off... Who are you looking down on?
But Cindy is also very persistent, so just pay in silver dollars, we don't accept cash checks.
"Not accepting cash...is disrespectful to Zhou Liu," the old liar added leisurely beside him. He was also from Zhou Liu.
Hua Scorpion couldn't stand it anymore, "Mr. Geng, you can take out the energy block banknote you just collected."
Geng Shougong couldn't help but roll his eyes. Do you think I'm stupid?
The real value of the Zhouliu silver note is not a matter of debate for the time being. The key is that it can only be circulated locally.
In other residential areas, Zhou Liu's bank notes may not be unusable, but their value will definitely be greatly reduced.
The energy block banknotes are universal in the entire Zhouzi settlement area, and there is no discount at all. This is the real hard currency.
In the Zhouliu settlement area, it was more useful than the local silver coins. How could Geng Shougong spend it again?
So he can only say that it is 10% off and it will not get any lower. If you don’t agree with it, then I will have to find someone to come and argue.
But Hua Scorpion is not new to the world: If you are like this, then we will not sell these mutated beasts to you.
Geng Shougong was really furious when he heard this, "Do you still want to rent this book?"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei finally became impatient with their noise and asked me if I wanted to rent a book?
"Isn't this over yet? Let's keep it this way from now on. Those who want to do business with us can only do so with energy block silver notes."
"This is Zhou Liu!" Geng Shougong was so angry that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
At this moment, he had long forgotten that the other party was the person he wanted to win over, "You actually don't recognize the currency here?"
"How rare, I have always used energy block banknotes to trade," Qu Jianlei answered casually.
"If you use other currencies to buy my things, who can control whether I sell them or not?"
Geng Shougong finally fell silent. Strictly speaking, even the silver coins were privately minted currencies of each family.
The energy block banknote directly anchors the energy block, no wonder it is so strong.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Then use silver dollars?"
Qu Jianlei said nothing, but Hua Xiezi snorted, "Wouldn't it be over if I said this earlier?"
The corpse of the B-class mutant beast was sold for 1,300 silver dollars, and it cost more than 600 before and after repairing the car, and replenished the ammunition with 400 silver dollars.
This time's income is not much better than last time, and the profit is only enough for Qu Jianlei to read books.
But there's nothing I can do about it. Hunting is like this, it depends on luck, and your team isn't strong enough.
Because he had to repair his car, Qu Jianlei stayed at home for twenty days before starting his third hunt.
During this hunt, he directly targeted the A-level mutant beast Snow Hidden Leopard.
The Snow Leopard is very good at concealing its whereabouts, its movements are extremely fast and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, either alone or with others.
The companionship depends on the situation. Anyway, usually, there will be no more than four Snow Leopards traveling together.
The most important thing is that this guy's meat is edible even though the taste is mediocre, and the fur is very expensive and the bones are even more expensive.
When he heard that he was going to hunt the Snow Leopard, Spencer couldn't bear it anymore, "I give up, or you can kill me now."
"You can give up, Xue'er has to follow," Hua Xiezi said without hesitation, "It works."
The Snow Mastiff's combat power and group level are much lower than the Snow Leopard's.
But the good thing is that the Snow Mastiff has a very high IQ and is not too suppressed by nature's rank, so it can easily spot the Snow Leopard.
So when large groups go out, they usually bring multiple snow mastiffs with them.
Spencer couldn't refuse. He and Cher did have a deep relationship, but he didn't rent Cher out before, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to repay the loan.
Now that Hua Xiezi wants to borrow the money, there is no reason for him not to agree to take care of food, drink, and housing, since he is still in his home.
As for Xueer's possible accident, there is really no need to worry about it.
Every life in the wasteland is both strong and fragile. As long as it doesn't die due to conspiracy, there is nothing to regret.
Then Qu Jianlei looked at Cindy, "The danger is great, how about... you stay?"
Although she is a woman, she really deserves to be called an experienced driver, and her driving skills are so high that they are probably even worse than those of a scorpion.
But Cindy shook her head and said, "Let's go together, but if we hunt the Snow Leopard, I will take half of it."
What she is most worried about is her daughter. If Spencer and Xueer both stay, she will not dare to leave.
But if only Spencer was here, she believed Claire would not suffer any loss.
In this case, she also wanted to fight against the A-level mutant beasts, and even asked for a share.
In fact, the panda boss has never treated her badly when it comes to spending money, but she still wants to save some money.
This was a gamble with her life, and she didn't think her conditions were excessive.
"Then let's go," Qu Jianlei raised his chin, "There will definitely be a share. If you can hunt with your own hands, it will definitely be more than half."
As the off-road truck drove away, Claire turned to look at Spencer, pulled out the laser pistol from her waist and pointed it at him.
"Go into your room...I'll count to three!"
"Why don't you do this? I'm already old," Spencer said with helplessness on his face, "Be careful of misfires."
"Huh?" Claire rolled her eyes and turned on the safety, "Killing people by accident...it doesn't seem like killing someone?"
"Okay, I know you are less than fifteen years old," Spencer sighed helplessly, turned and walked towards the room...
Qu Jianlei and the others drove in the wilderness for three days and three nights when they came across a convoy of three cars.
Cindy has good eyes, "Boss, it's the one who repairs the robotic arm. He seems to have recognized us."
"Ignore him," Qu Jianlei replied disapprovingly, "I have repaired it and he has paid for it, so what else is there to do with him?"
Mainly because that woman was really annoying. He didn't want to care about her, but he couldn't let go of her completely.
The vehicle continued to move forward, but it never occurred to me that three cars on the opposite side turned around and chased after me, honking their horns non-stop.
Cindy slowed down and Qu Jianlei directly fired the machine gun behind the truck.
Hua Xingzi picked up the individual machine gun and fired a burst into the sky.
The meaning is already obvious: enough is enough, otherwise you will suffer the consequences.
To be continued...
