17. Invitation

"That's it~ I want to raise one too." Jiang Le said with a disappointed face.

"Just you? In this world, do you think anyone can raise animals? What kind of animal can be raised? Jiang Ping couldn't get used to Jiang Le's unorthodox appearance, and he hated the way that iron could not become steel.

Jiang Le wasn't annoyed, he just scratched his head, "hehe" and smirked: "That's what I said!" ”

"Miss Xia, we are here this time mainly to apologize to you. Yesterday I didn't discipline my subordinates well. Compared to teaching his son a lesson and reprimanding his subordinates, Jiang Ping is not so kind.

As soon as Jiang Ping finished speaking, the patrol team leader who had been standing beside him and didn't dare to find a place to sit down, bowed 90 degrees to Xia Zhi in fear, and said earnestly: "Miss Xia, I apologize for my dereliction of duty yesterday." Please forgive me, this is a small apology, please accept it! ”

With that, he handed over an opaque, tightly wrapped pouch with both hands.

Speaking of yesterday, Xia Zhi fully understood the behavior of this squad leader. Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Although he didn't do it to the extreme, it was indeed a principle driven by interests.

Xia Zhi's understanding is understanding, which does not mean that he has to pay for his actions. If yesterday's person was not her, or without her ability, with Yao Haohong's character, this squad leader doesn't do things, who knows what the consequences will be?

However, since they have all apologized, the base commander is still watching from the side, and he is at most an accomplice. Even if he didn't come to apologize today, Xia Zhi would not deliberately find fault, at most he would encounter a well.

Therefore, it is natural for Xia Zhi to receive an "apology gift".

The little patrol leader saw Xia Zhi accept his "apology gift", and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. A light retreat.

The team leader apologized, as another party yesterday - Yao Haohong. Naturally, I can't help but take a stand.

"Miss Xia, I also apologize to you for my inappropriate words and deeds yesterday." Yao Haohong stood up gracefully, with a sincere face. As for what he thought in his heart, it is unknown.

"Hmm."

Xia Zhi's unexpected answer made Yao Haohong's face stiffen.

Well. Well?! Wouldn't most people politely say that I also have something wrong, and then the two reconciled and talked happily?

Xia Zhi said, I am not an ordinary person.

The atmosphere that had finally eased suddenly became stiff again.

It's still Jiang Ping, who is a thousand-year-old, oh no, it's old and serious, mature and steady.

I saw him smile heartily and said, "Miss Xia is really straightforward." I don't think Xiaoyou is a person who likes to go around, so I'll make it clear. Indeed, I have come here mainly to apologize and show my sincerity. After that, I really got up to the idea of inviting you to participate in a mission, and the remuneration must be not low! ”

Jiang Ping first found a reason for Xia Zhi's reaction, and at the same time secretly agreed with the matter of "Yao Haohong's words and deeds were wrong yesterday". Then he observed properly, directly picked out the reason, and indirectly praised Xia Zhi with humor. Finally, use profit as a lure.

This is an old fox who is different from the outside, which is completely inconsistent with his "artist" temperament. It seems that the rumors that he and Yao Haohong are not at odds are not rumors. Xia Zhi secretly slandered in his heart.

"What task?" Since he has made up his mind to "join the WTO", he has to go through the training, and he still has the task of "money" to get at the door, as long as it is smooth and reasonable, Xia Zhi does not mind doing it.

"About twenty kilometers away, there is a village - Fengshuo Village. It is also a village as its name suggests, and it is said to be a village, where the scale of land is equivalent to that of a town, and every year in the harvest season, it is a bumper harvest. A variety of food is abundant, and it is a large-scale food supply base.

Presumably Xia Xiaoyou also knows that food is precious and rare now, and seeing that winter is coming, it will definitely be more inconvenient to move at that time, and food will become a big problem, so he plans to transport some food back to at least survive this winter.

Before, Captain Yao led a team to the front and went to find out, only to encounter a third-order zombie. I heard that you are capable, and I wanted to ask you to help us. Of course, the remuneration certainly can't make you lose money.

Your own prey and harvest along the way will definitely be yours, that's fine. On the way, you will be sure that your food and fuel expenses are all included, three crystal nuclei of the second-order fire system, one hundred first-order crystal nuclei, twenty catties of rice and noodles, and five catties of vegetables and fruits. You see how it is. ”

Jiang Ping clarified the situation of the task one by one, and then looked at Xia Zhi earnestly.

Sure enough, it's an old fox, who talks about tasks and pays for them. I still have to play the emotional card, and it just makes people not only not disgusted, but also feel something.

You think I'll just promise you? Xia Zhi muttered quietly in his heart.

"I only paid a week's rent." The implication is that within this week, I will say yes.

"Definitely won't delay Xia Xiaoyou's time."

In this way, it can be regarded as a preliminary decision.

"I have two companions."

"If they are willing, they can naturally do it, but this reward can only be according to the same as everyone else, ten catties of rice noodles and 300 primary crystal nuclei. Of course, we definitely can't control our own gains. ”

"Okay." Xia Zhiying didn't say anything, just looked at the few people sitting on the sofa opposite with fixed eyes. As if to say it again, everything is said and done, then let's go.

When the matter is said and done, there is naturally no reason for the big guy to stay here anymore. A few people politely said a few words of "welcome to join", "see you next time", "how much to disturb", and got up to say goodbye.

A few people were sent away, and it was almost noon. Xiao Milk Qi has to eat the second meal, and the "glowing stone" of today's share can be eaten first.

Use 188 primary crystal nuclei to exchange things in the system mall, and hand them to Xiao Niqi, who has been staring at the palm of Xia Zhi's hand intently since the thing appeared in Xia Zhi's hand.

Xiao Niqi unceremoniously in a slightly bold posture relative to drinking milk, the four little jiojio held it and pushed it into their mouths, and the small mouths that had not yet grown teeth "tsk" ate with relish.

Xia Zhi didn't bother Xiao Niqi on the side, but took out the team leader's "apology gift" and opened it, and found that there were 100 primary-level crystal nuclei inside, as well as a speed system with one of the most common attributes, a second-order crystal nucleus.

This "apology" is not a small care now. It is clearly impossible to be the squad leader's own masterpiece.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, this base is not ordinary.

From this point of view, he allowed Yao Haohong to work with him, and even wanted to surpass him, either because he had other plans, or he didn't care at all.

Wait for Xia Zhi to put these white crystal nuclei into the space. The doorbell rang again, and before Xia Zhi could get up and open the door, the door opened by itself.

It seems that this time it is really Cheng Muhan and Mao Yuanliang who are back.

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

The first to speak turned out to be the cold royal sister who has always spoken little-Cheng Muhan.

"Boss, there's a mission wall at the base, and it's good to have a mission."

Mao Yuanliang followed closely and added: "This task is to go to a place called Fengshuo Village to transport grain, and the remuneration is very good for these few days." 300 primary crystal nuclei, ten catties of rice noodles.

This quest wall was built by the base. A team of at least five people can be registered in the base, and solo adventurers can also be registered. Those who register can get points in addition to the corresponding rewards for completing the tasks on the task wall.

This point can be redeemed for food, gas, metals, and more. However, it can only be used at this base. ”

As soon as Mao Yuanliang explained, when he heard the words "Fengshuo Village", Xia Zhi knew what was going on. There is a lot of brilliance in his eyes, this base is really fast!

"Not long after you went out, the base chief brought someone to invite me, and I was about to tell you. Since they all have the will, let's take it. As for registration, it's not necessary, we'll stay soon. ”

After Xia Zhi finished speaking with the surprised eyes of the two, he took out the apology gift he received, took out the second-order velocity system crystal nucleus inside and gave it to Mao Yuanliang, and handed half of the primary crystal nucleus to Cheng Muhan.

continued: "This is the 'apology' given by the squad leader yesterday, the primary crystal nucleus is divided into half for you, and then the second-order crystal nucleus inside is suitable for you, and it will be given to you." Let's see if we can break through to the second order in the next few days. ”

The two also knew that Xia Zhi was a person who said the same, and since they did so, there was naturally a reason. Although they feel that this "apology ceremony" should be called a "goodwill gift", it should all belong to Xia Zhi.

Being treated like this by Xia Zhi, Cheng Muhan and Mao Yuan's conscience warmed, and the gratitude and emotion in their hearts were even greater. made up his mind to redouble his efforts to be good to Xia Zhi and never betray her.

"Go make lunch, I'm hungry." Xia Zhi said that he was really hungry, so he was not shocked by their incomprehensible appearance. Hum~

"Yes!"

"Okay ~ Boss."

I was resting yesterday and didn't have the energy to get food. At noon today, the three of them decided to treat themselves to eating hot pot.

As a result, the residents on the same floor as them were miserable, and they were tempted by the smell of hot pot for an afternoon.

In the afternoon, the first thing to do is to solve the task so as not to have any accidents.

Xia Zhi first went to the task wall with the two of them and received the task. Then he took the two of them and searched for them according to the address left by Jiang Ping in the morning.

How else to say that there are many people? No, something happened again. But it's not Xia Zhi and the three, it's their tour guide yesterday - Mu Si.

On the five-meter-wide road, Mu Si, who was quite white yesterday, had a bruise on his face, his forehead hit somewhere, a hole was broken, and half of his face was bleeding, and he hadn't even coagulated yet, with a hideous expression.

Behind Mu Si was a woman half a head shorter than him, wearing a white skirt, a light green coat on the outside, long hair reaching her waist, and fair-skinned small jasper-type beauty. At this time, she held Mu Si's hand tightly, biting her white lip with a little fear.

Opposite them were four or five fierce men, surrounded the two of them angrily, raising their thick fists in demonstration, and their mouths were also unceremonious threatening words.

It's not that the three of them are kind-hearted and are preparing heroes to save the United States on the side. It's really, by coincidence, a group of them plus a group of people watching the excitement got it!

Nor can it be said that they are cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Let's not say what happened, they don't know, who is right and who is wrong, and a few people have only had a small half-day employment relationship. Xia Zhi and the three of them really had no obligation to help.

If you see people fighting and fighting, you judge people by their appearance, and help them regardless of right and wrong, then they can't control even the king of heaven. They are all from the mainland, and without the sea, they can't be so wide.

But just because they don't want to care doesn't mean they can just ignore it. No, the sharp-eyed Mu Si's eyes lit up the moment he saw Xia Zhi and the others.

Under the siege of several strong men, he pulled the woman behind him and forcibly broke into front of Xia Zhi, knelt down with "Puff", pulled Xia Zhi's trouser legs, and asked for help.

"Boy! Don't think you'll be able to escape if you find a helper! Your sister, whether you want to or not, you must come with us today! One of the strong men said to Mu Si in a vicious voice.

"Your sister and brother have received so many benefits, but you don't want to pay the price, will there be such a good thing in the world?" The other person accosted him.

"This lady, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, this is a matter between us."

After all, they didn't draw the fire to Xia Zhi and the others. Maybe that's what the rules of the way are?

"No, it's not! Don't talk nonsense! Mu Si was so anxious that his eyes were red and full of anger, and he waved his hand at a few people, trying to shoot the few people who were pressing towards his sister step by step.

His sister, who had been protected by him, had tears rolling in her eyes, strong enough not to let it fall, but she stood in place, motionless.

"Miss Xia, please help us, we will repay you! My sister is a stranger and can definitely help you! Mu Si's eyes lit up, and despair, pleading and hope were intertwined in his eyes, as if Xia Zhi's decision decided whether he would ascend to heaven or go to hell.
