Chapter 209(2/3)
This is not as good as Qu Jianlei helping someone repair a robotic arm. If the average cost per person is 50 silver dollars.
In fact, with this amount of income in one and a half months, the other three people can be satisfied, even Flower Scorpion is no exception.
As for Xue'er... she eats and drinks well every day, has grown twenty centimeters in length, and her fur is even more shiny.
In any case, the harvested things have to be processed back. Many of them are useless, but they cannot be processed in the wild.
Back outside the city, it took three days just to process the prey.
You must keep what is useful to you, and sell what you can.
Some goods will not be sold for the time being because the shipment volume is large and the purchase price is lower. Anyway, the yard is big enough and the weather is cold enough.
Three days later, they still had not set off. One and a half months of outdoor life had made them physically and mentally exhausted.
This is also the rhythm that most hunting teams should follow. As long as there is a harvest after a trip, ten days and a half of rest is a must.
Even taking a month's rest is normal, as long as the harvest can guarantee the expenditure and it can last for a while.
Of course, there are also those who come here specifically to make a fortune during the hunting season.
The goals of these people are relatively clear, and they will not give up until they can catch enough prey.
However, even so, after a long hunt, they still had to relax for ten or eight days.
Geng Shougong had been sending people to keep an eye on Qu Jianlei's small courtyard. After hearing that they went hunting, he actually didn't understand.
The job of a maintenance engineer is so secure. I have to go hunting...can it be worth the fuel expenses?
"But it's good to come back. I have to ask them if they want to go out again."

Chapter 86 Hongyuan (Second update to congratulate Brother Bangzi 4/10)
The four of them, Qu Jianlei, were exhausted physically and mentally during the month and a half they were outside, even if he himself could recover through practice.
Sleeping is a problem in the ice and snow, and warnings must be issued at night. After all, the hunting grounds are really heavily engulfed.
The key is that there are also potential hidden dangers within this small team of four people.
There is basically a lot of trust between Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi.
Even if Hua Xingzi doesn't know that he is a silly song, he doesn't know what Hua Xingzi's real name is.
Cindy's words... can generally be trusted, but the old man Spencer is unreasonable, let alone he has a dog.
So except for Spencer and Cher, the other three people were having a hard time.
They plan to rest for five to ten days before setting off - the date cannot be determined because it depends on the weather.
While in the wild, they encountered at least two cold waves. They managed to survive the cold wave, but the experience was not pleasant.
No one is stupid enough to go against the weather. If you encounter something in the wild, there is nothing you can do. Now that you have the conditions, you should naturally hide if you can.
At this moment, someone actually came to the door and asked Qu Jianlei if he could help repair some equipment.
Qu Jianlei refused directly, saying that he would not do any maintenance during the winter.
In cold weather, it is not convenient to repair equipment, but there is a hunting ground here in Zhouliu, so the need for repairs in winter is even greater.
However, that was a matter for a regular repair shop. Qu Jianlei's house was very small and larger parts could not be repaired.
He made such a statement to cut off other people's thoughts - don't count on me in winter.
If he behaves well and talks well from the beginning, he can easily lead to problems.
Geng Shougong heard that Qu Jianlei didn't plan to take action, but he didn't feel much surprised. He just wanted to give it a try.
But one day later, someone sent word that the man wanted to rent two hundred books in exchange, which surprised him.
After careful calculation, it has only been forty days since the other party borrowed the books, and he has actually finished reading two hundred books?
In order to verify his guess, Geng Shougong made another trip to the city.
Qu Jianlei received the other party politely, saying that he had indeed finished reading it, and also gave him a pair of Xinyue Bear's bear bile as a gift.
A pair of bear bile is not cheap. It is worth twenty or thirty silver dollars. This is the market price during Zhou Liu's winter hunting.
If you really get the total settlement point, there is no problem if the price goes up two more times.
However, this kind of gift can only be said to be expensive, and it is not considered a bribe. Geng Shougong rarely went out to receive it.
He asked very curiously, "You have read through two hundred books and journals in such a short time?"
Qu Jianlei answered frankly, "When I go hunting, I take some with me to pass the time when I have nothing to do."
Geng Shougong's face looked a little ugly, "You're really not afraid of losing it!"
"I paid a deposit," Qu Jianlei replied sternly, "Unless something happens to me... But if something happens to me, there's no need to worry about the deposit."
Having said that, Geng Shougong still felt that the other party's behavior was a bit reckless - this kind of knowledge is priceless.
However, he had just accepted the gift from the other party, so it was not easy to scold him. Who asked him to accept the deposit?
So he could only ask, "Have you read all these books?"
Qu Jianlei had already thought about how to answer, "I have mastered some knowledge before, and I can pick it up very quickly."
Geng Shougong actually thought so, so he asked again, "Where did you come into contact with mechanical knowledge?"
Qu Jianlei smiled and didn't answer - I spent money to read books and you got the income, so why bother asking about the origin?
Geng Shougong didn't want to offend the other party. After all, he was really capable. "How long have you been studying mechanical knowledge?"
"More than twenty years," Qu Jianlei replied without thinking. This was really not bragging, it just added Blue Star's time.
Instead, he asked curiously, "Why do you think of asking this? Are you worried that I will spread the knowledge?"
"Knowledge is for learning," Geng Shougong actually said such a sentence, which is really surprising.
However, he then said, "But there are too few malleable talents, and internal strife is severe, so we imposed restrictions."
This is the first time Qu Jianlei has heard that there are not many wasteland maintenance engineers. Is it because of the involution?
"Ordinary people are not worthy of mastering this knowledge," Geng Shougong said calmly, "I ask you because there is a wanted order..."
He didn't want Qu Jianlei to misunderstand, but he wouldn't explain too much, "There is a very vicious guy who knows a little bit about mechanical maintenance."
Qu Jianlei was startled when he heard this, and Hua Xiezi not far away also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
But Spencer asked curiously, "Has that person come to Zhou Liu? He won't attack the maintenance technician, will he?"
He was a little worried that Qu Jianlei would be targeted, so this winter might not be peaceful anymore.
"There is a notice in the settlement," Geng Shougong also looked down on these unidentified people, "There is a wanted notice from the headquarters."
Spencer was obviously relieved when he heard this, "Headquarters? That's really serious... It's not just a matter of making sure Zhou Liu comes."
Qu Jianlei nodded calmly, "The two hundred books this time... I'll leave it to you."
Geng Shougong put down the two hundred books, took away the last two hundred books, and finally took away the rent of two hundred silver dollars.
Qu Jianlei picked up the book and went back to his room to study.
However, Hua Xiezi found Cindy and whispered, asking her to go to the city to find out who the wanted person was.
In this winter, Cindy has not been to the settlement since she came back from hunting, and now she can only brave the severe cold for a trip.
She went to inquire about it and brought back the latest news - indeed, a strongman was wanted.
She has no idea about "Silly Qu's" mechanical maintenance ability, so she should have no interaction with the "Panda" boss.
What Cindy cares about is, "A reward of one thousand silver dollars is really rare. The key is... that person also has a mecha."
However, neither Qu Jianlei nor Hua Xiezi had any reaction.
After being silent for a while, Hua Xingzi even said, "We don't want to mess with such a strong man, and we don't need that little money."
"Okay," Cindy agreed simply. She was actually a little jealous of that set of mechas.
But now the confidence of the small team comes from those two people. Since people don't like it... then forget it.
When there was no one around, Hua Xiezi asked Qu Jianlei with a half-smile, "Co-author...are you still stupid?"
"I have many identities," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "Do you think my boxing skills and sword skills fell from the sky?"
Hua Xiezi was immediately speechless. She knew very well that Krishna's meditation skills were definitely something even more remarkable.
After a while, she tentatively asked, "Are you big enough?"
Qu Jianlei didn't answer the question, "You should know that I still have plans for revenge... I won't force you to participate."
"Why don't you participate?" Hua Scorpion is indeed cautious in his actions, but he is not someone who dares not take risks.
There are not many adventurers in the wasteland who are timid, but they all have different understandings of the cost of adventure.
She has been coveting Kuritian's meditation stuff for a long time. As long as she can become stronger, why wouldn't she dare to gamble?
And she knew very well that although Krishna sometimes went berserk, he was not the impulsive and brainless type.
Especially in terms of restraining Gu Zhanwang, she felt that Krishna was stronger than herself.
After resting for ten days, they entered the wasteland again, but this time, the team headed to the Red Plains.
To be continued...
