Chapter 208

It doesn't sound like a legitimate organization; it's probably some kind of mafia.

Although Song Xiaozhu felt that every organization in this world was "dark" and "shady".

"To trigger Growth Quest 9, please select:"

"Task A: Kill 500 'Intruders', Reward: 1000 Quantum Coin, 500 Repair Points."

"Task B: Protect 3000 'Base' members, Reward: 500 Quantum Coin, 1000 Repair Points."

The Growth Quest this time are still clearly defined.

Task A is significantly easier; you only need to kill the "intruders" and you'll also receive a whopping 1,000 Quantum Coin.

Task B is not on the same level of difficulty as Task A, but it only rewards 500 Quantum Coin. Fortunately, the Repair Points is very high.

Song Xiaozhu couldn't help but recall the first mission. Mission A back then was to kill one "intruder," but now it's 500... It seems that's the number of invading members from the Three Kills Gang.

Song Xiaozhu asked, "The 'base' isn't finished yet, can we choose Mission B?"

Her Growth Quest 8 is not yet complete. Although the progress bar is a bit bleak, as long as the Trade Value is sorted out, the rest will be easy. It just needs some time.

Xiao He: "If the 'base' is not completed before the mission ends, the mission will be considered a failure."

Song Xiaozhu: "During the mission"

What is the space?

Xiao He: "7 days."

Song Xiaozhu opened the task panel and glanced at the progress of the "base".

The warehouse needs Quantum Coin -- and Tian Man can also bring back Leadership Value.

Construction requires mobilizing the villagers' resources—we need to get some high-quality pickaxes, and timber and stone are the best building materials.

For defense, we can't rely solely on Xiao Yunjie's traps. Once the yellow [Medicinal Raw Material] arrive, we need to mass-produce gunpowder and grenades. This will not only increase our defense but also provide the village with a strong fighting force when the Three Kills Gang attack.

Shops and public support are not difficult to obtain. Song Xiaozhu can not only open shops in Liu Family Village, but also has a community that is "eagerly waiting for help." She can open 30 shops in an instant, not just 3.

As for public support, there's still a lot of Polluted Beast left. We can give a portion to every resident of Deer Town and the community. This will not only boost public support but also increase Leadership Value —a win-win situation.

While keeping an eye on the task progress and the recipe, Song Xiaozhu made a rough estimate.

First, there is an urgent shortage of yellow [Medicinal Raw Material].

Secondly, the demand for Energy Fragment is also very large.

Then there's the option of exchanging Leadership Value for Quantum Coin.

Yellow [Medicinal Raw Material] and Energy Fragment can be collected together; just add more exploration teams. The community can also organize some exploration teams. These tasks can be handled by Luo Liuzi and Xiao Yunjie.

The Leadership Value requires Tian Man to run back and forth, which also allows him to transport more building materials and gunpowder to the community, thus boosting both construction and defense values.

After writing for a long time with paper and pen, Song Xiaozhu basically had a plan. She said to herself, "Choose task B."

The toughest bones taste the best; it's better to actively seek out hardship than to passively endure it.

Song Xiaozhu always remembered that saying: Every gift of fate comes with a hidden price.

Moreover, choosing task B does not mean she will let the intruders go.

Song Xiaozhu knew very well that the Slaughter Value on the ranking of the God-Favored was not based on how many people the God-Favored themselves had killed, but rather included indirect kills, such as those they had triggered (breaking the isolation zone), or those killed by their friends or subordinates.

Logically speaking, Song Xiaozhu also has a life on her hands.

The Shang Bao that turned into "fertilizer" back then.

The Slaughter Value in this ranking of those God-Favored is based on the value after the Testing Ground were opened, so Song Xiaozhu is zero.

Faced with the invasion of the Three Kills Gang, Song Xiaozhu could not avoid incurring Slaughter Value.

'Hold on without killing'

base'.

It's like cutting off your own arm before fighting to the death; that's Hunter in a very difficult position.

So what if she's exposed? Song Xiaozhu has never been a coward.

Song Xiaozhu didn't rush to contact Lu Xiaofang. She was busy all day the next day. First, she discussed the deployment of the Guard Team with Liu Xuangang, then she discussed the construction and defense of the village with Xiao Yunjie. Finally, she also comforted the villagers and lumberjacks of Deer Town, earning 30,000 Leadership Value and exchanging them for 150 Quantum Coin.

With the Quantum Coin, Song Xiaozhu first upgraded two old formulas, namely--

Recipe Name: Advanced Animal Trap

Recipe Level: 3.

Required materials: 10 bear traps + 1 Energy Fragment.

Success rate: 60%.

Recipe Name: Advanced Pickaxe

Recipe Level: 3.

Required materials: 1 professional pickaxe + 1 Energy Fragment.

Success rate: 60%.

Song Xiaozhu sighed softly, "We need Energy Fragment no matter what..."

This thing is almost as important as Quantum Coin.

Are there enough Polluted Beast outside to kill?

Song Xiaozhu felt inexplicably worried.

She upgraded the bear traps in order to synthesize a "warehouse". The recipe for this "warehouse" requires 150 Quantum Coin for 3 Sturdy Storage Box, and 100 Energy Fragment for the remaining 100 advanced bear traps.

Song Xiaozhu took stock of the inventory and once again felt what it meant to be so poor that she was struggling to make ends meet.

Three warehouses require 450 Quantum Coin plus 300 Energy Fragment.

Sigh, with a large family and a big business, expenses are high.

That evening, Tian Man and Luo Liuzi returned home one after the other.

Luo Liuzi's expedition went very smoothly. He had only explored about ten meters outside the isolation zone when he discovered a considerable amount of yellow [Medicinal Raw Material]. He gestured as he explained, "These things grow in clusters! Like rocks. Luckily, I listened to Miss and brought a pickaxe, otherwise it would have been difficult to collect them."

Song Xiaozhu nodded and asked, "How many did you bring back?"

Luo Liuzi exclaimed excitedly, "Full warehouse!"

Song Xiaozhu didn't hold back her praise, "Very good, let's continue tomorrow, this [Raw Material] is very important."

Luo Liuzi: "Alright!"

Song Xiaozhu inquired about the situation outside the isolation zone, and Xiao Tong, who had come along, quickly explained it to her. Overall, nothing unusual was found; the area outside was empty after the beast tide receded.
