Chapter 403: Chapter 35 Super Mission and Rewards_2

"Gao Yu, go rent two cave dwellings for these kids to live in." Tang Zheng tossed a handful of bottle caps to Gao Yu, it was not something he lacked now.

The delight on the young soldiers’ faces intensified, making them even more willing to die for Tang Zheng. As for those who died, it was just their bad luck.

"Tang Zheng, come with me, I have a secret." Pang Meiqin, seeing the little loli still in the room, quickly grabbed Tang Zheng, pulling him and made a run for it. Six young soldiers immediately split up to follow.

"Shoo, you all are not needed here." After taking several turns to ensure that no one would be able to catch up, Pang Meiqin tried to drive away the more than just an eyesore young soldiers, but they remained unmoved.

"Go back." Tang Zheng dismissed the young soldiers. As they turned around, Pang Meiqin could not wait to throw herself into Tang Zheng’s arms, kissing him on the lips.

Feeling the chill on his lips, Tang Zheng frowned, pushing Pang Meiqin away. It was a narrow alley. Even though he didn’t need to worry about being discovered, he certainly didn’t want to freeze here.

"I really do have a secret." Pang Meiqin stomped her foot in annoyance, "Am I that repulsive?"

"Get to the point." Despite being embraced, the clothes were too thick, so it was impossible to feel her womanly curves.

"I found an extra mission, come on." Pang Meiqin took Tang Zheng’s hand and led him through several more streets to a quiet bookstore. There weren’t many shelves, but they were all filled with pre-war books. An old lady was sitting in a corner with a crude ore radio in her arms.

The speaker only produced crackling sounds of radio waves, with music playing occasionally, but it would quickly cut off.

"Hey, I’m here to take on a mission." Noticing that the old woman was asleep, Pang Meiqin gave her a nudge with her gun.

"Be polite." Tang Zheng frowned. Pang Meiqin stuck out her tongue and gave the old woman a pat on the shoulder.

"Oh, it’s you, are you here to accept a mission?" The old lady said with a smile, not seeming to mind Pang Meiqin’s rudeness.

"Not me, it’s our group leader." Pang Meiqin moved aside, pulling Tang Zheng to front.

"Oh, the notice board with missions is on the wall, have a look yourself." The old lady pointed at the wall and closed her eyes, ignoring Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng found the notice board tucked behind several shelves in the corner.

Mission one, bring back seven hundred thousand bottle caps to receive a Wasteland Strengthening Elixir. Upon use, it can enhance all seven qualities of a human’s physical abilities by one fold. Reminder, it can be used only once.

Mission two, bring back one hundred and fifty thousand bottle caps to exchange for any kind of Quality Enhancement Elixir. It will enhance one quality by one-fold. Reminder, each type can only be consumed once.

Mission three, exchange bottle caps for Seeds. Black Iron Seed costs five thousand, Bronze Seed ten thousand, Silver Seed thirty thousand, Golden Seed one hundred thousand, Star Seed two hundred thousand.

Mission four, fifty thousand bottle caps can be exchanged for a first generation Iron Tyrant. A hundred thousand for a second generation Iron Tyrant. Reminder, these cannot be repaired once damaged and are single-use items.

"How about that? This secret is pretty good, right?" Pang Meiqin, taking Tang Zheng’s hand, boasted with pride, "I’m not sitting around doing nothing, I’m much better than those other women."

"Have you activated your Seed Ability yet?" Tang Zheng abruptly changed the subject, leaving Pang Meiqin slightly disoriented.

"No, after failing to activate my first Seed, I didn’t dare to waste anymore. Aside from keeping fifty points for emergencies, I used the rest." Pang Meiqin looked somewhat gloomy, but soon she regained her pride. She was confident in her expenditures, as every point was helpful for survival.

"Once we’re back, I’ll ask Lu Fan for a Silver Seed to give to you." Tang Zheng gave Pang Meiqin a reward as he scanned through the contents on the notice board.

"Thank you." Pang Meiqin wasn’t pretentious and didn’t reject the offer. After all, Tang Zheng already knew what kind of woman she was. Hugging Tang Zheng from behind, she whispered, "I haven’t told anyone about this secret."

"Well, it seems that even if I’m unwilling, I’ll have to clash with the Steel Council." Only by controlling the gathering place could so many bottle caps be collected. No matter what, it was worth risking his life for the Wasteland Strengthening Elixir. An evil plan immediately flashed through Tang Zheng’s mind, but he rejected it immediately. No, that would cost too many lives.

"Indeed, one bottle of potion strengthens seven categories. That’s seven thousand points. Coupled with mission exchanges and the points for surviving, getting through this would be equivalent to reaping the benefits of six or seven tasks for an ordinary guy like me who always gets two thousand points." Pang Meiqin was extremely envious. She knew that with her ability, she could not possibly get any of the rewards. The bottle caps required were too many; she would certainly choose to return to the Trojan Room after collecting ten thousand.

"There’s more to it. Aside from the third mission to exchange seeds, which is a bit lousy, the rest are all top-notch. However, exchanging a potion that only strengthens one quality is a sheer loss."

"Apart from you and that pervert Yin Shangwu, who else is capable of getting seven hundred thousand bottle caps?" Pang Meiqin gave Tang Zheng a glare. Then she tiptoed to look at the door ten meters away and the old woman, to ensure no one would disturb them. She then embraced Tang Zheng, and one of her hands went to remove his clothes.

"The fourth mission is also pretty good. If the Iron Tyrants to be exchanged are all of the kind I encountered yesterday, it’s worth getting some for reserve." Tang Zheng brushed off Pang Meiqin’s hand. He was in no mood to have a fling with this woman, especially in someone else’s bookstore.

"Even though they’re disposable, with your Alice apron, you can carry a hundred of them. They can burst mechas out at sea and directly level all opponents." Pang Meiqin continued to pester.

"Stop messing around." Tang Zheng thought Meiqin made some good points.

"Let’s go. I still have a lot of questions to ask the old lady."

Tang Zheng changed the topic, picked up the rifle and passed the bookshelf. There was actually a Playboy magazine, but it was completely ignored. In the Wasteland World, where ** was so cheap that they couldn’t even support themselves and had to salvage for their living.

"Young man, what would you like to buy?" The old woman was awakened by Tang Zheng and asked with a beaming smile.

"Can I take the missions on the notice board repeatedly?" Tang Zheng surveyed the environment in the bookstore. It was warm. This old woman actually could afford to light up a fireplace.

"Yes, you can." The old woman fiddled with the Ore Radio, selecting channels. It seemed that the static noise was the most beautiful music to her.

"Has anyone else taken these missions?" Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are these missions open only to survivors like us?"

"Yes, a pair of brothers and a young man and a middle-aged man." The old woman glanced at Tang Zheng but didn’t answer the latter question.

"Is there a time limit?" After receiving a ’no-bound’ reply, Tang Zheng took out five cans of beef from his wristwatch and put them on the table.

"Ma’am, I won’t disturb you any longer, remember to hide the food. Don’t let it be stolen." Tang Zheng and Pang Meiqin reached the door when suddenly they heard the old woman call out.

"Wait, I’ll give you a discount. My husband was killed by a ghoul, so I hate them. One ghoul leader’s head can be deducted by a hundred thousand bottle caps." The old woman’s gaze was fixed on the cans of beef, very satisfied.

"Do ghoul leaders have any weaknesses?" Tang Zheng quickly pulled out five more cans of beef and put them in front of the old lady. Indeed, food could make people talk.

"Shoot their bellies where there are red spots." The old lady spoke, then closed her eyes, no longer paying any attention to them.

"Tang Zheng, the ones who probably know about the missions are the An Ping brothers and Liu Heng. I haven’t seen them in the gathering place these days." Pang Meiqin, who was relying on her status as a Parliament Soldier, wasn’t afraid of acting recklessly in the gathering place. "The middle-aged man might be Zhang Bingcheng, who has managed to gather a lot of followers with his glib tongue."

"You should return to Yin Shangwu. We are going hunting tomorrow, its unsafe." Tang Zheng waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Tang Zheng, stop caring about whether those female models live or die. We don’t have extra bottle caps to give to them, it’s better to exchange for seeds and potions." Pang Meiqin thought Tang Zheng should be tougher. Apart from teammates, let the newbies die.

"Keep your mouth in check, and be sure to tell Yin Shangwu this secret." Tang Zheng gave this overconfident woman a glare. He no longer paid her any mind. He was actually in a dilemma too. If the bottle caps weren’t useful, he wouldn’t mind sharing some with the newbies. But now, they could be used to exchange for props, and the secret had been discovered by others. If he wouldn’t talk, his character would be questioned.

"Forget it, I must make sure that every member including Qin Yan and Lu Fan are strengthened at least once, then we can consider others." Tang Zheng left some for Pang Meiqin as well. No matter what, this woman was a half-qualified subordinate.
