Everyone's Improvement

These words deeply moved the soldiers.

"Lady Ye Qian, for us, even sacrificing our lives for you would be a very happy thing," the leader said sincerely.

"Call."

Miss World No. 11's feelings also became complicated.

She realized that many of her subordinates were actually more loyal to her than she had imagined.

Such warriors are not to be used as mere tools. Although death is inevitable, it would be ideal if I could acquire some abilities related to souls and memories, just like when these soldiers were first summoned, and summon them again.

"Keep up the good work, everyone. I'll be watching you from behind."

"Yes!"

The warriors left, but before departing, they made contact with Amia and assured her that they could obtain Goblin jerky at any time.

Miss World No. 11 finally stood up and stretched.

"These Colored Bubble in the dream are indistinguishable from the real world. The more carefully I feel them now, the less I can tell whether they are real or not. If they are real, then why are they floating in this illusory dream?"

Dreams are things created by the human brain; they are undoubtedly fantasies.

After discussing it, the soldiers decided to send the four people away from the camp to the village behind the camp to sell them and then sacrifice them to Miss World No. 11.

Only one person remained to sell dried meat locally.

"Take a walk and have a look. There's some delicious dried meat here, sold cheaply."

With a bow on his back, weapons hanging at his waist, and a bag of dried meat in his hand, this strong soldier, who looked like a tough guy, even deliberately showed off his well-developed muscles.

Trying to steal the meat?

Let's talk after you can beat me.

In addition, since this camp is located on the front line and security is strictly enforced, there is no one looking for trouble in public.

After all, most of them are just ordinary adventure groups.

Chapter 155 The Improvement of the Group

The archer wandered around for a while, but no one paid him any attention.

Ten minutes later, just as he was starting to doubt whether anyone was really interested in meat, three soldiers chatting by the roadside noticed him.

Then one of them, who had a hairstyle similar to a pompadour, walked over and asked with interest, "Brother, can I see some jerky?"

The archer unabashedly put down his large bag and opened it.

The three people's expressions changed abruptly.

So much?

Without a doubt, these three words perfectly encapsulate the thoughts of the three people at this moment.

Meat is something that is really difficult for ordinary people to afford. Even the warriors who go out to fight the enemy have to save money in order to accumulate enough Origin Coin to improve their strength.

There's no way around it, this thing is just too expensive.

In an era where even regular armies could only rely on simple coarse grains for food, ordinary adventurers were considered to be doing quite well if they could eat their fill.

"What... what's the price?" The man on the plane lowered his voice slightly, while carefully glancing around.

He genuinely thought the soldier in front of him was awesome.

They openly advertise selling meat, and what they're actually selling is genuine.

"One Origin Coin per kilogram, no bargaining," the archer said haughtily, raising his head.

"What!!!"

The other side was stunned on the spot.

It wasn't the price of the meat that shocked me, but rather how cheap it seemed... too cheap.

Yes, one kilogram is equivalent to 100 coins, which is the same as 100 yuan in my previous life. It's really, really cheap. It's probably only one-third to one-quarter of the price of normal meat, and that's for the kind of meat that doesn't taste good.

The meat in front of me looks good, but the price is so low that it makes me suspect it might be poisoned.

Seemingly worried that the other party wouldn't dare to buy, the archer suddenly bent down, took out a piece of meat, took a big bite, and chewed it right in front of these people.

"I have special sourcing channels. The dried meat is genuine and of the highest quality, and I won't cheat you. You won't lose out, and I guarantee you'll want to eat it again and again after you've tried it once."

As he spoke, he made smacking noises, causing the three of them to swallow hard.

They turned around and saw that other interested people had gathered around, so the guy with the airplane hair simply took out 10 coins from his pocket.

"Try this little bit first. If it's good, I'll buy more."

"Okay."

Without much thought, the elite Magic-Equipped Archer nimbly took out the scale from his waist, made a sharp cut, and the remaining part was exactly 2 liang (approximately 100 grams).

He took the meat, swallowed hard, and put it in his mouth to bite.

"Holy shit."

"What's wrong?" the onlookers asked nervously.

"Delicious! This meat is excellent, much better than the rotten meat you find in the market," the man with the pompadour exclaimed excitedly.

"Damn, you're not kidding us, are you?"

"Really? It's so cheap, and you still say it's delicious? Are you a shill?"

Ignoring their discussion, the man with the airplane head pulled out five Origin Coin and said, "5 kilograms."

Since a kilogram had already been cut into pieces, the archer simply laughed and took out the corresponding amount from the bag.

"It's exactly five kilograms. If you don't believe me, you can weigh it yourself."

"No, no, no, I believe you. This meat is such a good deal."

At this point, others couldn't resist either and started buying.

Soon, the archer sold all 100 kilograms of meat he was carrying. Even some poor adventurers would try to squeeze out a few coins when faced with such cheap and good stuff.

The last 100 Origin Coin were instantly teleported to Miss World Number 11.

"Good."

Shaking the money pouch in her hand, Miss World 11 hung it in the exchange area, which was only open to Dusk members who were carrying out missions in this world.

At this moment, on the front line, where Miss Ye Jing and the members of the Dusk Squad are located, a new Abyss monster has barely fallen.

"We really can't just go any further. The further we go, the stronger the monsters become. Our current level is too low."

Lan Bowen sat down on the ground, panting. He glanced at Miss Ye Jing not far away, blushed slightly, and quickly looked away.

"This kid is 20 years old and still so innocent, he blushes when he sees a pretty girl." Ye Jing sensed Han Yu's thoughts through the Mystic Thread.

That's right, Han Yu was a little jealous of Ye Jing's beauty, and felt a tiny bit annoyed.

Of course, she actually had a good impression of Ye Jing, mainly because the girl was really cute.

"Hey, I just noticed that new Origin Coin has been added to the shelves." Pretending to have just noticed, Ye Jing said to her teammates.

"What?"

When everyone looked, they found that it really existed.

100 pieces.

"If I remember correctly, it takes exactly 20 coins to upgrade from LV2 to LV3. That's a really good calculation."

After several battles, everyone realized how difficult it was to make money by selling monsters. Not to mention the repeated battles, the risks involved were no joke.

"It seems there's a new function in the exchange area that allows you to sacrifice a corpse. This way, the system only needs to take 20% of the selling price to remotely obtain the Origin Coin."

Miss Ye Jing read out the new features very carefully.

Everyone got excited.

"That makes things easier. Just keep killing monsters and earning points. Since we don't have enough Origin Coin, we can exchange them with points, 5 points per coin."

"But isn't the pumping rate a bit high?"

"What's so high about it? The higher-ups said that teleportation costs are high in this world, and even with this kind of exploitation, it's still profitable for us. Do you really want to carry around corpses?"

After this discussion, everyone basically accepted it.

Seeing that these people's fighting spirit had been rekindled, Miss Ye Jing smiled slightly.

"Looks like everything went smoothly."

Compared to the constant soul-transmigration and death in the Holy Church World, which is a lot more grueling process, these guys can at least play a game of leveling up by fighting monsters, which is much easier.

Of course, the risks of the real body descending are enormous; once you die, you really die in reality, so it's hard to say which is better or worse.

"Then everyone, let's sell the corpses. The system will distribute them based on our kill count."

"Good."

All the corpses were sacrificed.

In fact, the pumping inside is the cost of the sacrifice itself.

Normally, you wouldn't need to draw that many, but the cost of living in this world is high. Ye Qian didn't want to suffer any losses for no reason, so she could only ask the Dusk members to contribute a little more.

"Then, shall we all go back and level up first, and then come back to kill monsters?"

"Good."

Everyone has temporarily returned to normalcy.

Upon arriving at the Adventurers' Association, everyone except Miss Ye Jing had been upgraded to LV3.

The male staff member in charge of all these operations seemed a little surprised by the speed of these people, after all, they had only been gone for a short time, and they had all come to upgrade.

It seems they are not only powerful, but also genuinely wealthy.

Returning to the wasteland, this time, due to their increased levels, everyone was bolder and dared to venture further afield.

The further you go, the stronger the Abyss monsters you encounter tend to be.

This doesn't mean the world is like a monster spawn point in some games, but rather that Abyss monsters prefer environments with a strong Abyss aura. Such environments are close to the rear, but are often occupied by high-level monsters; it would be very dangerous for weaker monsters to rashly attempt to steal from them.

Sometimes, in order to survive, the weakest monsters have no choice but to move to the sidelines.

The more these monsters gather, the closer they get to human territory, and the more the Abyss Pollution seeps towards humanity.

This is the origin of the current monster distribution situation.

"Gentlemen, according to the intelligence we gathered earlier, if we venture further into the wasteland to fight, we're likely to encounter even more dangerous creatures. And if we go as far as 20 kilometers away, some high-level units might appear among the enemy. These creatures often guard an area, commanding most of the lower-level units. Their status is similar to that of the leaders of monsters, well... in our words, BOSS." Wang Quanxiang explained his understanding after some analysis.

"6, now that you mention it, it really does sound like it." Lan Bowen with admiration.

"Fighting bosses, huh? That's true. Because the monsters' territories are generally fixed, it's like a boss is specifically guarding a certain area. But occasionally, for food or something, they will invade human territory, which... is a bit like a monster siege." Ye Jing added with a smile.

"So you've played similar games before?" Lan Bowen asked excitedly.

"Of course, isn't that normal?"

Miss Ye Jing sat on the rock, her tone very relaxed.

"When it comes to leveling up, we should take it easy," Lei Hu said, frowning gravely. "Even if it's like a game, it can't be treated like one. In reality, you only have one life; once you die, it's over. You guys have lost plenty of games by playing recklessly, haven't you?"

"Um."

"Once everyone reaches level 5, we'll go a little deeper. At least to level 10 before facing the boss. It's okay if leveling up is slower; stability is the priority."

The subsequent battles took place through repeated encounters with Abyss monsters.

Miss Ye Jing obtained Life Energy by killing the monster herself.

These Dusk members are points.

Points can be exchanged for Origin Coin or fragments, and also for unknown energy in this world.

That's very efficient.
