Chapter 376: Chapter 204 Mall_3

Eighteen resource packs, including six building material packs and twelve food packs.

In addition, there were a large amount of miscellaneous junk items such as watches, dolls, glasses, jewelry, and cash. A large amount of cash? They had never seen an ATM machine before, but after breaking one open, they obtained a large sum of banknotes. Since they had torn it open anyway, they brought back the banknotes, which could at least be used to start a fire.

An immense variety of snacks, including chips, prunes, sunflower seeds, and the like, too numerous to count.

An immense variety of dolls, including pillow dolls that could be placed on the bed and cute dolls that could be hung on backpacks.

Additionally, there were various types of alcohol, glassware, porcelain, and other goods.

Here, I must praise the system backpack; anything that could be stuffed into the backpack didn’t count by volume but by weight. As long as it wasn’t overweight, an infinite number of items could be accommodated.

Everyone gathered around the campfire, discussing the goals for tomorrow. The enthusiasm for shopping kept them tirelessly happy. Considering they had opened the second exit of Sewer No. 99 and obtained a resource point, the work content for tomorrow needed to be readjusted.

Maya, holding a wine glass, said, "We still have two tasks at hand. The first task is to find the sewage drain entrance."

Shana reminded, "There’s a sewer near Warehouse No. 88." It was discovered last time while moving furniture and contained a blueprint.

Maya nodded, "For the mission of Left County Hotel, we need to open an underground passage to Bounty Hunter Hall. This task must be entrusted to you, Shana. The zombies in the sewers are weak, so you can choose two teammates to explore the sewers with you."

Shana looked at everyone and said, "Lin Wu..."

Maya interrupted, "Lin Wu is heading to the Blood Mist area through the aerial corridor tomorrow. His job is to farm Serum and strive to stockpile high-value goods before the next merchant’s visit." Red wine, snacks, and the like are considered junk by the merchants. Even piling up a merchant’s 200-kilogram cargo might not exchange for even one resource pack.

Shana didn’t object and asked, "Who wants to take the risk with me?"

Everyone raised their hands. Although the work in the sewers wasn’t as appealing as shopping in the mall, everyone was willing to take on some work that others were reluctant to do. That’s cohesion.

Peanut had exploration skills, suitable for scavenging tasks. Maya was to lead the team. Emerald Feather, as a doctor, couldn’t go too far. Someone might need medical attention at any time. After ruling out Lin Wu, only Hun Dan brothers and Little Knife were left. Shana said, "Little Knife and Horse Soul."

Little Knife bumped fists with Shana and then with Horse Soul. Snow Egg frowned unhappily, but she was just deliberately performing. It’s normal survival instinct for a boy to appear heartbroken when parting from a potential girlfriend.

Maya said, "Lin Wu, you choose a partner."

Lin Wu said, "Peanut."

Maya said, "Peanut’s exploration skills are a great help in scavenging."

Lin Wu replied, "I know." It’s also a great help in Corpse Looting. Peanut had a Corpse Looting speed skill, which he himself lacked, so naturally, Peanut had to handle all the Corpse Looting work. More work for the capable!

Maya wanted to say something, but Lin Wu interrupted, "Serum is valuable!"

Maya nodded, "Okay. Snow Egg, Emerald Feather, and I will be in charge of scavenging supplies."

Shana, with a light gesture, said, "I don’t quite agree with splitting into three groups simultaneously. The mall team would face too much pressure." In theory, Maya’s Repeating Crossbow could clear the area. However, theory needs to account for objective circumstances and allow for a margin of error.

Stone said, "Maya, I understand your eagerness to build an advantage quickly. I also don’t agree with splitting into three groups at the same time."

Maya had assessed the combat strength; she believed that she, along with Snow Egg and Emerald Feather, could withstand the Night Demon. Hearing Stone say this, she immediately realized her mistake; she had not thought of setting prices too high.

When partnered with Lin Wu, if we assume Lin Wu’s combat power is 1 and hers is 0.8, they usually accomplish tasks requiring a 2.5 effort. Although it was always dangerous, they did it tirelessly. In the Blue Star operation, the team’s combat power is 3, and she would certainly arrange for training not less than 3, because only then can the team progress.

With Snow Egg at 0.6, Emerald Feather at 0.5, and herself at 0.8, their 1.9 combat power could handle a Night Demon around 1.5. But players aren’t soldiers; they can’t be assessed and measured numerically—there must be an overwhelming advantage to lower the risk factor. To handle a Night Demon of 1.5, it’s best to have a combat power of 2.5, or even 3.0.
