Ninety percent off is already my final concession, and you actually want me to cut it down to fifty percent... Who do you think you’re looking down on?
But Cindy was persistent too, saying then you should pay in silver coins, we don’t accept Silver Notes.
"Not accepting Silver Notes... is disrespectful to Zhou Six," the old swindler added leisurely from the side. He was also from Zhou Six.
Flower Scorpion couldn’t stand it anymore, "Mr. Geng, you collected Energy Block Silver Notes just now, you can take them out."
Geng Shougong couldn’t help but roll his eyes, does she take me for a fool?
The true value of Zhou Six Silver Notes, let’s not dispute that for now; the key issue is that they can only circulate locally.
In other Gathering Areas, Zhou Six Silver Notes may not be unusable, but their value would certainly decrease significantly.
And Energy Block Silver Notes are accepted throughout the Zhou Character Residence Area, with no discount at all. That’s the real hard currency.
In Zhou Six Residence Area, it’s even more effective than the local silver coins, so why would Geng Shougong ever spend them elsewhere?
So he could only state that it’s ninety percent off, it won’t go any lower. If you don’t accept that, then I’ll have to call someone over to argue.
But Flower Scorpion was not inexperienced: if that’s the case, then we won’t sell you these Mutant Beasts.
Upon hearing this, Geng Shougong was truly fuming, "Are you people still renting books here or not?"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei finally became impatient with their quarrels—the audacity to ask if I’m renting books?
"Is this not over yet? From now on, if you want to do business with us, you can only transact using Energy Block Silver Notes."
"This is Zhou Six!" Geng Shougong was so angry that his nose was not nose, and his eyes were not eyes.
At that moment, he completely forgot the other party was someone he intended to win over, "You’re actually not recognizing the local currency here?"
"How rare," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I have always conducted transactions using Energy Block Silver Notes."
"If you use another currency to buy my things, who can stop me from not selling?"
Geng Shougong finally fell silent, strictly speaking, even silver coins are privately minted currency.
Meanwhile, Energy Block Silver Notes are directly anchored to the Energy Block, no wonder they’re so robust.
After a long while, he sighed, "Then let’s use silver coins?"
Qu Jianlei remained silent, but Flower Scorpion snorted, "Couldn’t you have said that earlier?"
The corpse of a B-level Mutant Beast was sold for thirteen hundred silver coins, repairing the vehicle cost over six hundred, and four hundred silver coins were used to replenish ammunition.
This time’s earnings weren’t much better than the last, and the profit was just enough for Qu Jianlei to rent books to read.
But there was no other choice; hunting is inherently , relying on luck to get by, and their own team wasn’t powerful enough.
Due to vehicle repairs, Qu Jianlei stayed at home for twenty days before starting the third hunting expedition.
This time, he set his sights directly on the A-level Mutant Beast, Snow Concealment Leopard.
Snow Concealment Leopard is very adept at concealing its tracks, moves rapidly and possesses extremely strong combat power, sometimes alone and sometimes with a partner.
Whether it has a partner depends on circumstances, but generally, there aren’t more than four Snow Concealment Leopards together.
Most importantly, the meat of this creature can be eaten—even if the taste is just decent—and its fur is expensive, with the bones being even more costly.
Upon hearing about the plan to hunt Snow Concealment Leopard, Spencer couldn’t hold back any longer, "I give up, or else just kill me now."
"You can give up, but Xue’Er has to come along," Flower Scorpion stated without hesitation, "It’s useful."
The combat capability and tier of a snow mastiff are much lower than that of a Snow Concealment Leopard.
But the good thing is that the intelligence of a snow mastiff is high, not easily suppressed by natural tier, able to detect Snow Concealment Leopards relatively easily.
So those large teams usually bring multiple snow mastiffs along.
Spencer couldn’t refuse either, he indeed has deep feelings for Xue’Er, but he hadn’t rented out Xue’Er earlier primarily due to fear it wouldn’t be returned.
Now that Flower Scorpion wants to borrow it, he has no reason not to agree—they provide food, drink, and accommodation, and he just happens to be staying in their den.
As for the possibility of Xue’Er encountering an accident, there’s really no need to worry about that.
Every life in the Wasteland is both tough and fragile, as long as it doesn’t die from a conspiracy, there’s nothing regrettable.
Then Qu Jianlei looked at Cindy, "It’s very dangerous, how about... you stay behind?"
Even though she’s a woman, she’s genuinely deserving of her self-proclaimed expert driver title. Her driving skills are so high that even Flower Scorpion might be inferior.
But Cindy shook her head, "Let’s go together. However, if we hunt down a Snow Concealment Leopard, I want half a share."
Her primary concern was her daughter. If Spencer and Xue’Er both stayed, she wouldn’t dare leave.
But with only Spencer staying, she believed Claire wouldn’t suffer.
Given this, she too wanted to gamble on an A-level Mutant Beast hunt, even suggesting a share split.
In fact, Panda Boss had never shortchanged her financially, but she still wanted to save some money.
She was risking her life, believing her terms weren’t excessive.
"Then let’s go," Qu Jianlei raised his chin, "There’s definitely a share split if you can personally make the kill, absolutely more than half."
The off-road truck drove away, and Claire turned to look at Spencer, drew the Laser Pistol from her waist, and pointed it at him.
"Go to your room... I’m counting to three!"
"Do you have to be ? I’m already quite old," Spencer said helplessly, "Be careful of misfire."
"Hmm?" Claire’s eyes shifted, she unlocked the safety latch, "Misfiring while killing... doesn’t count as murder?"
"Alright, I know you’re not yet fifteen," Spencer sighed helplessly, then turned and headed towards the room... Fresh chapters posted on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Qu Jianlei and the others drove through the wilderness for three days and nights, encountering a convoy made of three trucks.
Cindy has sharp eyes, "Boss, it’s the one who repairs mechanical arms, seems like he recognized us."
