Chapter 563 Wasteland Scavenging Chronicle (7)
Wangyou's statement is just speculation; if these people are really that unlucky, they might even have trouble making ends meet.
"No way, it's survived all these years of ups and downs." The fat man said with a smile after studying the bracelet for a while.
“Very few of the beasts in the winter beast tide have high radiation levels; if they do, they are one in ten thousand,” Wangyou suddenly said with a smile.
The fat man's smile froze on his face, and the others didn't look too good either.
"Although the bracelet is the most basic one, it can still be used to learn about world information. If you accumulate points in the future, you can go to the recycling station to exchange it for a higher-level one."
"Understood, we'll consider it later," Wu Xie said with a smile.
"Alright, once we get back, Fatty, make the noodles you promised me as soon as possible, and then you guys move out as soon as possible." Having said what she needed to say, Wangyou was ready to kick them out.
"That's right, is this rental property also located at the recycling station?"
"No, it's at the housing management office, right next to the recycling station."
Back home, Fatty didn't try anything funny and quickly started making instant noodles and preparing the broth. After the purchasing station was built, the group rented a house and moved out of Wangyou's little courtyard.
After living alone for two days, the group of people who had moved out learned that there was no rice, flour, or cooking oil for sale in this wasteland. They could only exchange it for nutrient solutions. Not only that, they also had to brave the cold to go out and find supplies or hunt strange beasts, otherwise they might face the risk of starving to death.
"Suddenly, I don't feel that Sister Wangyou is heartless at all," the fat man said, having tasted a bottle of nutrient solution without any appetite.
“In a place like this, ruthlessness is the norm. I’m glad that she didn’t kill us with a brick when she saw us.”
"That's because we live too close to her house. If we were to freeze to death at this time of year, we would probably become someone's food."
"Forget it, instead of saying all this, we should kill more alien beasts. Our luck is exceptionally bad. It's been so many days, and we haven't even gotten a single beast core or a medium- or low-radiation alien beast."
"If I go to Wangyou's house to cook, could you give me some carbs in return?" the fat man tentatively suggested.
"It's worth a try, Fatty. Whether we brothers can avoid starving to death depends on you," Wu Xie said with a smile.
After sending the person away, Wangyou stopped thinking about it, because she was busy dissecting the corpses of the strange beasts one by one and didn't have much time to think about food. Recently, she had been eating nutrient solutions.
While Wangyou was dissecting a bison, she heard a knock on the door.
"Forget-Me-Not Sister, are you busy?"
"What do you want?"
"Well, it's like this, if I cook for you, could you give me some rice or noodles in return?" The fat man shamelessly asked.
Wangyou glanced at the fat man, who was no longer fat; he had lost a lot of weight. "You guys didn't really starve yourselves to death, did you?"
"Hehe." Could he tell him that they only get one vial of nutrient solution every two days and have to be careful with how much they drink?
"Okay, it depends on how much you make. The more you make, the more I'll give you."
"Okay, I'll make extra fried rice today. You can store it in your spatial storage."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
"Can I call the blind man in to help me?"
"Okay." Wangyou nodded; the two of them should be able to move faster.
Fatty quickly called everyone in and went into the kitchen to get busy. Zhang Qilin and Xie Yuchen decided to try their luck in the wild. Wu Xie, given his terrible luck, shamelessly came in and offered to help Wangyou dissect the strange beast, but Wangyou dismissed him, saying she didn't need it.
After successfully completing the test, Wangyou took out the beast core and then carried the two hind legs to the kitchen. "Help me process them, and I'll give you a piece of meat when you're done."
"Okay, boss." The fat man gave a professional fake smile.
Look at their luck! The whole cow was low-radiation, while they caught the high-radiation, inedible kind.
The fat man and the blind man resigned themselves to their fate and worked for two days, making a lot for Wangyou. It would be enough for her to eat for a month. Wangyou didn't treat them badly either, giving them two bags of flour, two bags of rice, and a bucket of cooking oil. The group also went to the purchasing station to exchange points for some salt, which was quite good.
After that, Wangyou continued to dissect corpses, keeping him busy all winter. By the time he finished, it was already spring.
Spring is a season of renewal, and the number of people going out to forage for wild vegetables increases significantly.
Wangyou looked at the meat that had been sorted and processed in her space and planned to sell some of it, but she didn't plan to sell it at the purchasing station because the price there was too cheap and it wasn't worth it.
So, Wangyou sent a message on her bracelet: "Selling 3,000 catties of low-radiation meat. Those who need it can come to my house to exchange. Be prepared with your points."
This message was naturally seen by many people, but after seeing who the IP address was, they quickly dismissed the idea that had just arisen in their minds, and then prepared to use their points to exchange for low-radiation meat.
You should know that at the purchasing station, a pound of low-radioactive meat is bought for 15 points, but sold for a full 100 points. However, many people do not have the financial means and can only choose to sell to the purchasing station.
Moreover, it's practically impossible to buy low-radiation meat in Zone D; it's all monopolized by people from Zones A and B. The best they can get is medium-radiation meat, which costs fifty points per pound.
Therefore, as soon as Wangyou posted the message, many people saw it, prepared their points, and rushed to Wangyou's side.
The five poor, unlucky guys decided to buy some meat too, just to change things up. They hadn't eaten meat for months. They pooled their money and figured they could probably afford two pounds.
The purchasing station naturally saw it too, but there was nothing they could do but watch helplessly.
The meat sold by Wangyou is not cheap, costing eighty points per pound, which is only twenty points cheaper than at the purchasing station, but it's still a lot. You should know that to earn twenty points, you would have to dig up at least ten or eight baskets of wild vegetables, and those would have to be low-radiation leaves.
Many people buy it, but most only buy a pound to taste it themselves. They can't protect more than that. Wangyou isn't in a hurry, after all, she just doesn't want to dig for wild vegetables for the time being.
Moreover, there's too much meat, so she has to clear some out to prepare for this year's beast tide.
The five fat men didn't exchange much, only three jin (1.5 kg). It wasn't that they didn't have enough fighting strength, but rather that they didn't have enough points. However, they still had to carefully calculate how much meat it would take for five grown men to eat.
Wangyou was speechless when she saw these five people. She had heard about their reputation as unlucky people several times. Except for the weakling in the middle, they were all hovering on the edge of hunger.
They weren't unaware that meat was expensive, but they had learned that eating the meat of the exotic beasts here would make them stronger. Eating nutrient solution all the time would be too slow, so they were saving up points to buy meat.
Three thousand catties of meat seemed like a lot, but it sold out quickly. As for the Forget-Worry Space, there were still thirty thousand catties left, which was more than enough for her to eat by herself.
