Make up for it (Chapter 108)
Although Ye Sheng still wanted to know more details, unfortunately, Gu Luo refused on the grounds that the scene was too bloody.
Ye Sheng sighed silently with regret, knowing that no matter how curious she was, she couldn't ask any more questions.
Fortunately, last night's 'alarm' was only a flash in the pan and did not have much impact on the base.
They were still able to hide!
To be honest, ever since Ye Sheng came to the apocalyptic wasteland world, she always felt that it was going to be the end.
She was worried that she would encounter a bad ending, such as being surrounded by polluted creatures, the base being "blown up," or humanity going extinct... When she heard Gu Luoyu mention the S+ level polluted creatures deep in the wilderness, her mind instantly reached a peak of anxiety!
Therefore, Ye Sheng hoped that the base could hold on a little longer, and it would be best if nothing happened before she died of old age!
o(╥﹏╥)o
"Are we going out for lunch, or are we having lunch at home?"
Hearing Gu Luoyu's question, Ye Sheng looked at her in surprise, then glanced at the sun outside the window.
She quickly turned on her watch screen and realized it was already 10:50.
How had she slept for so long!!!
"Let's go out and eat. We still have more than 10,000 points on our card. Let's take a good rest for a few days and then continue to make money~"
Ye Sheng thought seriously for three seconds and soon gave her answer with a smile.
Although she had bought a lot of low-radiation ingredients yesterday, cooking was too tiring.
They had just returned from the wilderness, so they should take good care of themselves!
Anyway, the ingredients were vacuum-sealed and stored in the refrigerator, so they wouldn't go bad even if left for a while.
Let’s eat out for a few days first!
(*^▽^*)
As for where to go?
When Gu Luoyu said it was up to Ye Sheng to decide, she thought about it and immediately remembered the 'Never Forget' tavern... Yes, it was the special tavern that the mercenary Ah Mu had taken her to.
The food there was still delicious.
Of course, in addition to delicious food, you could also buy or sell news there.
It was also because of this that Ye Sheng had met the information dealer, Mo Lin.
"Never Forget Tavern... Ye Sheng, do you still want to know what happened last night? Are you planning to spend points to buy the news?"
Clearly, Gu Luoyu also knew about this place.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows as she spoke.
There was a hint of suspicion in her red eyes.
She didn't really believe that Ye Sheng, who was so "calculating," would do such a thing.
"I won't waste my money! This is what I want to do. I want to invite a friend to dine with me. Gu Luoyu, would you object?"
"...It’s Mo Lin."
"Uh-huh."
When Gu Luoyu heard Mo Lin's name from Ye Sheng, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
She knew Ye Sheng wouldn’t spend points to buy information.
Instead, she planned to exchange more information over lunch.
What a thrifty and frugal person!
Then she looked at Ye Sheng's sparkling black eyes, blinking as if afraid that she would refuse.
Ye Sheng reached out, grabbed her sleeve, and gently pulled it, moving closer to her.
With her black hair loose, she looked like a fluffy kitten, wanting to crawl into her arms and act coquettishly.
When you get closer, you can catch the sweet aroma wafting towards you, softening your heart a little.
Gu Luoyu silently raised her hand and touched the top of Ye Sheng's head, thinking that they could discuss it further, "Don't overthink it. If you really want to know, I can tell you everything."
However, Ye Sheng quickly shook her head, her black eyes flickering.
"I'm not particularly curious about what happened last night. I just want to meet up with a friend for dinner and chat afterward."
Although Ye Sheng felt a little hesitant when she heard Gu Luoyu give in, she decisively chose the latter between a single choice and multiple options!
(•ᴗ•)
Mo Lin knows more news and gossip~
Ye Sheng wasn’t interested in confidential information because she knew she would have to pay a price to get it.
She only wanted to know the latest news and gossip in the safe zone… and she needed to discuss more about going to the black market tomorrow.
Seeing that Ye Sheng had made a decision, Gu Luoyu naturally didn’t let her down and nodded, agreeing to have one more person join them for lunch.
…
"Sister Ye, over here!"
After Ye Sheng contacted Mo Lin on the Super Intelligence Network, she immediately received a positive reply.
It turned out that Mo Lin was already at the Never Forget Tavern and had reserved a seat for Ye Sheng in advance.
When Ye Sheng received the message that Mo Lin had saved her a seat, she was still confused.
When she had followed Ah Mu to the tavern that day, there had been many empty seats around...
Then, when she arrived at the tavern, she was stunned to see how crowded it was!
Why is the pub business so good?
"Hey, Sister Ye, are you wondering why the tavern is so packed?"
After Ye Sheng pulled Gu Luoyu to sit down, Mo Lin couldn't help but chuckle.
Without keeping them in suspense, he explained the reason directly, "Did you hear the commotion last night? It was polluted creatures attacking the city wall. The patrolling mercenaries sent out a distress signal. A group of A-level polluted creatures attacking the city is a very serious matter, so people can't sit still and are seeking information from various channels."
“…”
Ye Sheng couldn't help but twitch her lips, realizing that this was the reason.
As a news dealer with connections, Mo Lin knew more, but this was a very precious "resource," so he didn’t reveal everything.
Instead, he carefully selected the news he could share.
"Originally, the official promotion of the base's transformation potion was blocked, but suddenly, a high-level polluted creature attacked the city, solving the urgent problem. Some people who were afraid of death stopped protesting the mortality rate of low-grade potion and began requesting injections."
Listening to Mo Lin talk about the latest news was exactly what Ye Sheng wanted to know.
Because she was "connected" with the transformation potion, Ye Sheng paid close attention to it... After the incident of polluted creatures attacking the base last night, she wondered whether this event would impact the distribution of the transformation potion.
"However, the base officials have taken the initiative to stop issuing transformation potions, saying they are currently holding a meeting to discuss whether to raise the potion's grade to medium or high and issue matching potions according to the residents' status."
"It is said that mercenaries can obtain high-grade transformation potions, while civilians can obtain medium-grade potions."
"This is a huge loss for the base officials! After spreading low-grade transformation potions on the black market with a very high mortality rate, I thought the officials would stick to it and insist on distributing low-grade potions!"
When it came to ordinary news and gossip, Mo Lin talked nonstop.
During the conversation, she expressed confusion about the sudden change in the quality of the potions in the base.
It was surprising that both the base and the residents went from being at odds with each other to being on good terms and able to discuss things calmly.
Gu Luoyu, who had been silent, chuckled and said, "Last night's attack by polluted creatures scared not only ordinary people but probably the base officials as well!"
Originally, the base officials didn’t care about the loss rate of the transformation potion.
Even if many people died, they were just those who "failed to evolve."
They were of no use.
However, last night's attack by Class A contaminated organisms made the base realize that more cannon fodder was needed.
So the death toll had to be controlled...
As for upgrading the quality of the potion, would it result in a huge financial loss?
Not really.
Because they could make up for it elsewhere.
For example, super-grade transformation potions on the black market would be snapped up by panicked people and sold at sky-high prices.
Maybe some desperate individuals would even take risks and rob the thieves...
Tsk.
Tomorrow's trip to the black market is full of uncertainties!
It’s really exciting!
