Chapter 30 Settling down
Everyone's harvest, including armor, weapons, gems, etc., was exchanged for a total of 240 Origin Stones from Butler Neil.
According to Situ Lei, the price given was quite reasonable.
Funny to say.
Among them, most of the most valuable things came from the three Aarons.
Especially the cloak and whip.
On the contrary, the weapons and armor that they thought were valuable and valuable were not sold for much money.
The so-called source stone is a real stone.
A thumb-sized piece of crystal, shaped like a rhombus, was carefully polished. It originally looked like a dusty stone.
More than two hundred pieces of Origin Stone, a heavy cloth bag.
Fatty Han first divided out nearly half, and then looked at everyone:
"Zhou Jia is the biggest reason why we can survive this time, so he accounts for most of the profits. Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objection." Zhao Gang said directly.
The others looked at each other and nodded one after another.
Even the two of them didn't have any objections, and the others were almost sold as goods by Gao Libing, so naturally they didn't have any objections either.
"Gather it together, one hundred Origin Stones." Fatty Han put the separated Origin Stones into a bag and handed it to Zhou Jia:
"Others have to live their lives a little bit, so don't be too little."
Zhou Jia shook his head and reached out to take it.
"Zhao Gang and I are thirty each, and the others are each a dozen." Fatty Han separated the source stones again and looked at everyone:
"Don't be too little. One Origin Stone can be exchanged for a thousand Origin Money. If you save some money, you can live here for a long time."
"Yes."
Everyone responded and stepped forward one after another to take away a part of themselves.
Dai Lei helped Cheng Qi take it away and sat down in the corner. From time to time he looked at the heavy bag in Zhou Jia's hand, his eyes thoughtful.
"The wind is blowing!"
Someone spoke.
Everyone looked outside when they heard the sound, but they heard the sound of "woo woo" wind, and then wisps of white ribbons appeared in the mountain col.
Baimaofeng?
"Close the door!" Fatty Han said in his voice and hurriedly closed the tree house door.
Through the gap, you can see that with the rapid sound of the wind, more and more white ribbons appear outside, gradually forming a wave.
The waves rise and fall, like a giant bird flapping its wings.
According to Situ Lei.
This kind of wind has the ability to destroy all things. Even heavy armor made of fine iron will decay if it is blown by it for a long time.
Only the trees in the col were unaffected for some unknown reason.
Outside the tree house, the wind howled.
In the tree house, everyone with huge fluctuations in energy fell into deep sleep one after another. Only Fatty Han and Zhou Jia took turns to watch.
Gradually, everyone became quiet.
…………
The second day.
Not far from the original tree house, Zhou Jia found another giant parasol tree.
This tree was no smaller than the previous one. Someone had cut open the east side and dug two meters inward, but for some reason they did not continue.
"Duh!"
"Duh duh!"
Zhou Jia swung his ax and slashed inward along the path of his predecessors.
The trunk of the giant sycamore tree is hard, but with the blessing of the fifth-grade giant power, it is still as powerful as a bamboo, and from time to time it cuts out a pile of broken wood and transports it out.
I don’t know when, Dai Lei appeared behind me. She changed into a piece of close-fitting clothes that she didn’t know where she got it from. She hugged her chest and Yishu looked at it:
"You want to come out and live?"
"Yeah." Zhou Jia was sweating on the tip of his nose and nodded while swinging his ax:
“It’s not convenient for so many people to live together.”
"Indeed." Dai Lei nodded. Seeing Zhou Jia looking over, he naturally stretched his muscles and bones, showing off his graceful figure:
"There are so many people, both men and women. It's just a squeeze if you have no choice but to stay there for a long time."
"Yes." Zhou Jia made a movement on his hand:
"I thought so too."
"What a pity." Dai Lei's beautiful eyes flashed and she looked at Zhou Jia with a hint:
"I am too weak to build a treehouse by myself."
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Jia looked back with a serious look on his face:
"I'm pretty strong. I'll open one for you after I build my own tree house. Brother Han and the others will probably find another place, and it will be much easier then."
"...Yes" Dai Lei twitched the corners of her mouth, turned her eyes and said:
"Zhou Jia, if you live alone in the tree house, it won't be safe if no one is watching you at night. How about I come over and keep watch for you?"
"This..." Zhou Jia hesitated:
"Isn't it good?"
There is not a white-haired wind every night in the mountain col. When there is no wind, monsters will occasionally appear, and there may be more than just monsters.
People are equally dangerous.
Safety issues must also be ensured.
Zhou Jia's plan is to buy some traps and traps from the market, but this must come after the tree house is excavated.
Until then, it would be nice to have someone to help with the vigil.
But it doesn’t sound good to be alone with a man and a woman alone.
He has a girlfriend.
"I'll help you keep watch, and you can help me open the tree house. That's just right." Dai Lei seemed unaware and couldn't help but smile when she saw the change in Zhou Jia's expression:
"You're not afraid of me, are you?"
"That's not true." Zhou Jia shook his head.
"Actually..." Dai Lei sighed softly and said:
"I don't want to continue living there. That monkey guy... has been pestering me more and more recently. I said I didn't like him."
"Keeping watch for you will keep you away from him."
The monkey's name is Sun Chengliu. He is good-looking and one of the seven people picked out by Gao Libing. He has always had thoughts about Dai Lei.
I heard that he dropped out of school early and made a living by chatting up ladies in bars based on his looks.
Sun Chengliu was not ashamed of this, but rather proud of it. He often talked about his experiences with others on the road.
Men may be envious after hearing this kind of thing.
woman.
Nine times out of ten, you won't like it.
"Okay then." Zhou Jia thought for a while and nodded in agreement:
"I will open a treehouse for you as soon as possible."
"It doesn't matter." Dai Lei swept the long hair from the corner of her eyes and smiled:
"Don't be so anxious."
She originally disliked Zhou Jia.
His appearance is average, his temperament is a bit boring, and his figure is okay. You can tell at a glance that he is not the kind of person who can be chic and romantic.
But today is different from the past. This place is not an urban society anymore. It is far away from the past life. What she needs most now is safety.
Zhou Jia is a fifth-grade Yi Jin, and is the strongest among everyone.
As for personality...
Being honest and honest was a shortcoming in the past, but in a place like this, it is the greatest advantage. As long as you can win him down, you will have something to rely on.
As for whether it can be won?
Dai Lei had never thought that a shy boy could escape his battle-hardened Wuzhishan?
Smiling, she stepped closer, her eyes fell on Zhou Jia's face, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
This person doesn't look like much, but his eyes are quite good-looking.
Profound!
It has connotation!
Is it because of your literature major?
"Duh!"
"Duh duh!"
Ignoring Dai Lei, Zhou Jia held his breath and concentrated, waving the ax constantly, while trying to use his power-generating skills to increase his power experience.
His movements were meticulous and oblivious.
"Zhou Jia." Dai Lei's face was slightly red, she quietly looked away and asked curiously:
"Why do I feel that you are so energetic today?"
"Really?" Zhou Jia kept moving:
"Maybe you have hope in your heart?"
"Hope?" Dai Lei's face turned red even more. She didn't know what she was thinking of, and her voice was slightly trembling:
"What hope?"
Don't you want to live with yourself?
"Since some people came here more than ten years ago, there will definitely be more in the future, and I can say that I might be able to go back." Zhou Jia wiped the sweat off his face, his eyes shining:
"As long as you live, there is hope. Isn't this hope?"
"..." Dai Lei was startled and nodded awkwardly:
"That's right." (End of Chapter)
