The Daily Life of the Zombie

Chapter 72: Rich Woman



"...Cough!"

Gu Chen coughed a little embarrassedly when he saw Xiao Xiao discovered this unreasonable place, and then explained a little to make up for it: "Didn't you just come back here? Anyway, if something happens, if you contact me directly, it will be easier to deal with."

Xiao Xiao didn't notice Gu Chen's small thoughts, she just mentioned it casually, and didn't care much when she heard Gu Chen's explanation, but confronted her hands. She kept looking at the small card over and over again.

"Well...it doesn't feel special...Huh? This is..."

Xiao Xiao wanted to throw it into the space after groping for the most part, but at this moment she touched an uneven place, and felt that there were lines carved on it. Similar to the above.

"That's the number."

Gu Chen saw that Xiao Xiao was very interested in those photo cards, so he had to briefly introduce them first.

"That is a new type of alloy made from the alpha element extracted from the bones of mutant beasts. It can resist abilities below level 6. This thing has to thank you for your information, otherwise it would be impossible for the old schoolboys in the research institute have this kind of creativity."

Xiao Xiao's question was answered from Gu Chen's mouth - she just said, how could it be so good, this identity certificate is exactly the same as in her memory, it turned out to be a replica!

"The one you have is for fighters. With this special degree of protection, it can fully function as a heart guard, so don't lose it."

Gu Chen used his power for personal gain. In fact, the degree of protection of this kind of small card depends on the level of the ability user to distribute, but Xiao Xiao got the sixth-level card without verifying his identity - of course, Xiao Xiao is really qualified to get it, but Gu Chen didn't know!

When Gu Chen saw that Xiao Xiao had finally finished studying the small card, he asked aloud, "What's your next plan?"

Returning to the defense line does not mean that you will be safe and secure from now on. The defense line is not a charitable organization. Each resident has to perform his or her own duties in order to have a meal, that at least have to do the logistics work!

Gu Chen's meaning is very clear, Xiao Xiao has just returned to the defense line, then she must choose at least one job to do, the defense line does not support idlers!

"Plan?"

Hearing Gu Chen's question, Xiao Xiao didn't react. What's the plan?

"Now the currency in the defense line is a point system. No matter what you do, you have to use points, and the small card in your hand is where the points are stored."

"In case of emergency, I have given you 1,000 points first. You can use it, but you still have to find a normal source of income so that you won't be sitting idle."

Xiao Xiao understood at this time, he wanted to ask her which job she wanted to do?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Xiao asked suspiciously: "How much are the unpurified crystal cores and the purified ones cost?"

After hearing Xiao Xiao's question, Gu Chen mistakenly thought that she wanted to continue to work hard outside the defense line. So he want to use another way to dispel her idea... Just kidding, now that someone has finally returned, and now she is running out again, where will he go to find someone when the time comes?

"Now the first and second-tier crystal cores have only 1.2 points, and after purification, it is only less than 5 points. Unless the team is dispatched, it will be more profitable. Although the crystal cores of supernatural zombies are more valuable, the risks are also high. I don't think it's good suggestion..."

Gu Chen said at this moment, and was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Xiao's actions.

Seeing that Gu Chen had misunderstood her meaning, Xiao Xiao didn't do much nonsense, but directly grabbed a handful of level five or six supernatural zombie crystal cores from the space—the purified one!

"These are enough for me to exchange a lot of points?"

Xiao Xiao's big move made Gu Chen speechless.

This large amount of crystal nuclei is the result of Xiao Xiao's hard work in the past six months of running around day and night, and after being shot through the system, all of them are high-quality products that have been purified and can be used directly by ability users at any time!

"...You..." Gu Chen looked at the crystal core at this time, and then looked at Xiao Xiao's indifferent expression, and only then did he realize how big the gap between the two was.

Gu Chen is only at the sixth-order, perhaps close to the seventh-order critical point. In his perception, in the crystal core in Xiao Xiao's hand, there are many existences comparable to him with the energy intensity left behind. Judging from Xiao Xiao's indifferent expression, there are probably more nuclei of this kind in her space.

"Why, can't I change it?" Xiao Xiao looked at Gu Chen a little strangely. The low-level energy can be exchanged, and the high-level can't be exchanged for no reason!

"...Yes!" At this moment, Gu Chen seemed to be back when Xiao Xiao took out a bunch of crystals. The unspeakable powerlessness made him very helpless.

Gu Chen motioned Xiao Xiao to put the pile of crystal cores on the table, and then directly picked up his communicator and pointed it at the pile to start scanning.

"Beep! The fourth-level fire-type crystal core has been purified, worth 12,800 points!"

"Beep! The fourth-level water-type crystal core has been purified, worth 9,600 points!"

"Beep! The fifth-level gold-type crystal core has been purified, worth 42,000 points!"

"Beep! The sixth-level wind-type crystal core has been purified, worth 163,800 points!"

...

"Beep! The sixth-level soil-type crystal core has been purified, worth 130,000 points!"

(Note: The fourth-level unpurified core is worth 5,000 points, after purification 10,000 points for the 5-level unpurified crystal core, 40,000 points for the purified crystal core, 80,000 points for the sixth-level unpurified core, and 160,000 points for the purified crystal core.

Will purified nuclei be twice as large as unpurified?

To illustrate this point, we have to mention mutant plants.

The highest rank of the artificially cultivated mutant plants is only the fourth rank. It is not that they cannot be cultivated, but they cannot be suppressed, so the fourth rank is the top.

The fifth and sixth-order crystal nuclei must be immersed in several times the fourth-order plant extract to complete the purification, which has basically approached the cost price.

If according to Xiao Xiao’s memory, the heroes are divided and govern themselves, then the price of the extract of the mutant plants will naturally be controlled by them. If the ability user wants to go further, he has to accept the exploitation of the base, or join it, no The third possibility.

This is also one of the reasons why the small warlords in various places have gradually formed, but now that the defense line has been successfully established, these will not happen again. The whole is only the struggle between humans and mutant beasts and zombies, and there is no human-to-human conflict. Infighting is a blessing in misfortune!

...

After all the crystal cores Xiao Xiao grabbed were scanned, Gu Chen was completely speechless.

In this way, he will take out more than two million points in a single grab. If Xiao Xiao takes out a little more to exchange, then the whole point system will not be far from collapse...

What can Gu Chen say? He can only be thankful at the moment, now Xiao Xiao has not been let out to make a mess, but is within his sight?

"How, how much can I exchange?"

Unlike Gu Chen's speechless, Xiao Xiao was very excited when she heard the series of beeps.

"Two million points."

Gu Chen took away the pile of hills, and then said to Xiao Xiao expressionlessly:

"I will give you two million points directly, and the rest will be given later. If you have any questions or want to exchange crystal cores, you'd better find me directly, and Xiao Zhao will give you your communication device, which will have my communication number on it."

Seeing that Xiao Xiao heard the three keywords of two million, he was already a little reluctant to think about it. Gu Chen had to increase his voice and said seriously: "Xiao Xiao, what I said is very important!"

"You should understand that before the end of the world, there was a thing called the stock market, right? The stock market is a balance point that is ultimately achieved under the influence of various interests. If the crystal core in your hand flows out, the entire points system will be destroyed in one fell swoop, just like the stock market crash. The civilization that has been painstakingly built will return to the time before liberation... So if possible, it is best to contact me directly if you need anything."

Gu Chen's words are not alarmist.

The points system is a collection of results developed by a large group of elites according to the situation of the apocalypse. It will automatically adjust all prices to suitable prices over time, and if Xiao Xiao directly intervenes, it is natural to collapse instantly.

Under the current point system, ordinary people spend about 20~50 points a day, and the daily income from labor is about 100 points. If you go out hunting, the low-level ability person will harvest about 500~1000 points per trip, and high-level or squad missions are more.

And if Xiao Xiao wants to flow out these crystal nuclei, the points will lose their value in an instant - in the simplest way, as long as Xiao Xiao buys all the 2 million for food, it will cause a large area of ​​​​​food shortages will be followed by inflation, deteriorating law and order, and finally the destruction of civilization and chaos.

"I see!" Xiao Xiao heard this and quickly expressed her attitude. She is not a demon girl who will bring disaster to the country and the people. She just wanted to live her own life. Now that she has money in her hand, she will naturally not panic!

Seeing Xiao Xiao understand the importance of the matter, Gu Chen nodded gratified. Anyway, according to Xiao Xiao's usual behavior, she is definitely a good person worthy of the name, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Just understand! By the way, why do you have so many purified crystal nuclei?"

Gu Chen is very curious about this, because according to Xiao Xiao's ability, he wouldn't be surprised if she could kill so many corpses, but the purification step requires mutant plants, and Xiao Xiao doesn't seem like the plant controller!

At this time, Xiao Xiao realized that as long as it was a question raised by Gu Chen, she would not be able to answer it...because everything about her involves the 'system', and the kind of temptation that just crossed the line was her limit. Now that her IQ has returned, she still doesn't dare to sell the system again.

Gu Chen saw that Xiao Xiao didn't answer again, and immediately understood that it was probably related to that 'it', so he just nodded clearly and did not force Xiao Xiao to answer.

Seriously speaking, Xiao Xiao's silence is the best answer. Gu Chen now understands why Xiao Xiao always seems to be assertive, but not assertive.

Looking back now, some things are not what Xiao Xiao wants to do, but 'it' gives Xiao Xiao an order, instruction or task for Xiao Xiao to complete.

At this moment, Gu Chen is also wary of the 'it' in Xiao Xiao's mouth. What he said to Xiao Xiao just now is not to worry too much, but to comfort her. If there is such an existence in him, he will definitely use it. It is extremely destroying it - how can you allow others to sleep beside the couch?

However, judging from Xiao Xiao's current attitude towards 'It' and what 'It' asked Xiao Xiao to do, Gu Chen believes that 'It' did not deceive Xiao Xiao, and even devoted all its heart to achieving the so-called goal— End the apocalypse!

This is the reason why Gu Chen is not eager to solve this trouble for Xiao Xiao. At least Xiao Xiao is currently the beneficiary. Maybe she will eventually leave according to what 'It' said, and 'It' will leave naturally when the time comes. Now it is not beautiful to grow branches outside the festival.

"Okay, so you're not going to find a job, are you?"

Gu Chen saw that the matter of the crystal nucleus had come to an end, and he returned to the topic that he had not finished talking about before.

"I must have a job?" Xiao Xiao didn't quite understand at this time. She already had money, so why would she still have a job?

"...It's better to have it, if you act different, others will notice soon... Otherwise, I'll directly arrange you to be my assistant, as long as you have time or not, you can come here for a drink, or not?"

At that time, Gu Chen showed his wolf tail... For more than half a year, he didn't look for Xiao Xiao. Now that the person has reappeared in front of him, the so-called patience is not necessary. Does she still not understand?

And now Gu Chen is a real marshal, he believes that with his ability, as long as he wants, no one can stop him, then the tragedy in Xiao Xiao's dream will naturally not come true.

Xiao Xiao was noncommittal about Gu Chen's suggestion. Anyway, she wanted to be by Gu Chen's side to see if there was anything she needed to help, even if Gu Chen was protected.

"Okay! But you don't need an assistant, just install a guard. I'm fine anyway, and it's not bad to stay here normally."

Xiao Xiao didn't realize his secret intentions. In her thoughts, Gu Chen has helped her so much, so it's okay for her to give back.

"Then it's settled!"

Shortly after the two finished talking, Xiao Zhao also delivered Xiao Xiao's communication device. It was a watch-like thing, a bit similar to the thing Xiao Yan got back then. But in essence it is very different - because in this watch, there is a small screen.

Gu Chen took the communication device and let Xiao Zhao left first, and then he took Xiao Xiao's communication device and returned to his office.

"Well, this is the communication device, just wear it directly on your hand."

This communication device is not the same as the one that just gave Xiao Xiao a card. It really needs to be subdivided. There is a special version with additional functions, and Xiao Xiao have the version used by ordinary people.

With Gu Chen's explanation, Xiao Xiao quickly understood the operation function of this thing. It is really similar to those tablets in her space, and there are not too many difficulties in operation. What is more special is some similar scanning cores function only.

After a bit of manipulation, Gu Chen let her explore by herself. He has a lot of things to do right now. Anyway, the communication device is enough for Xiao Xiao to study for a while, so that he doesn't have to pay attention to her all the time.
