The next morning.
After resting through the night, the caravan was packing up and preparing to set out.
According to Lister's plan, his caravan would continue toward Red River Town, while a small, lightly equipped team would return to Boulder City.
Of course, the team returning to Boulder City would not be going back entirely empty-handed.
According to the contract between him and Chu Guang.
That team would bring back 100 kilograms of spirit leaves and ten bolts of devil silk cloth.
A bolt of cloth was a roll, roughly thirteen meters long and weighing a little over ten kilograms. Most of it was excess inventory that had been sitting in storage.
As for the spirit leaves, they were a specialty of the greenhouse ruins.
Some wastelanders liked using them to make spirit water for a pick-me-up, or mixing them with tobacco and rolling them into cigarettes. However, the stuff was mildly addictive, and heavy use could easily lead to dependence.
Before the caravan set off, Chu Guang found Canyon Escapee Mole and Fang Chang.
These two old hands were the players who understood him best among all the players—or rather, they had the strongest grasp of the current version.
He needed them to handle something for him.
Only the two of them were suited for this task.
"I have two important missions for you."
When they heard those words, the two players froze for a moment before excitement spread across their faces.
A hidden quest!
And an important one at that!
At the thought, Mole was so excited that he trembled all over. Straightening his back, he said,
"I am at your service, esteemed Administrator!"
Sure enough, this game had an affinity system!
All his diligent efforts had not been in vain!
Fang Chang, standing beside him, was dumbfounded.
