Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 128 Card Rating
“Yes, that’s fair.” Wang Jun nodded.

Yuan Ming agreed, "No problem, I'll listen to you, Captain."

He felt the atmosphere in the new team was great; even though he had just fainted, the other members of the team hadn't given up on him.

Li Yue chuckled, "I'll listen to you, brother."

Deng Guang had no objections. He always believed that he was just an ordinary person who had survived peacefully to this day, largely because he had latched onto a powerful figure.

There are many people in the community who are more capable than him, but now that he has a card and has dozens of kilograms of cured meat stored at home, he has surpassed 80% of the people in the community!

Sometimes, choice is more important than effort.

Qin Ziwen said, "Okay, then I'll keep these cards for now. When we get back, we'll discuss them together and assess their value."

He then looked at the giant toad carcass next to him.

Deng Guang looked at the enormous corpse and swallowed hard. "If you can eat bullfrogs, you should be able to eat this giant toad too, right?"

Li Yue leaned closer, took a sniff, and noticed the air still smelled of gasoline and a strong burnt odor. He hesitated and said, "With so much gasoline poured on it, it's probably already soaked in the smell. Is it still edible?"

Wang Jun frowned. "After gasoline burns, toxic substances will seep into the corpse. Moreover, toads themselves are poisonous. The most poisonous toad on Earth is the cane toad of South America, which has an average body length of only twelve centimeters, but its toxins can directly kill a crocodile."

Furthermore, although a toad's venom glands are only located on its back, if it is stimulated to secrete a large amount of venom before death, the toxins may seep into its muscles or internal organs.

Li Yue found a stick, walked to the corpse, and poked at a poison gland on its back.

"Plop~"

The charred venom gland was easily punctured and burst.

A thick, yellowish-brown viscous liquid burst out.

Li Yue reacted quickly, taking half a step back to dodge.

But the tip of the stick in its hand was smoky.
Qin Ziwen thought for a moment, "Let's cut some meat from its leg. Don't eat it when we get back. We can feed it to the crocodiles in the river."

The crowd dispersed and painstakingly cut two large chunks of flesh from the giant toad's legs.

"I don't know if it's because they were burned, but the muscles on my legs were as hard as rocks. I had to slowly grind them down with a knife," Qin Ziwu complained.

The group extinguished the remaining fires and then began their return journey.

Two hours later, we walked through the dense forest and returned to the outside of the community.

The neighborhood is quite lively tonight.

Even though it was already eight o'clock, there were still quite a few people setting up stalls in the open space in the center.

The infectious disease has been gradually brought under control in the community recently. Those infected individuals with weaker immune systems have mostly died.

Those with strong immune systems have also gradually recovered.

With the giant toad gone, the dark cloud hanging over the heads of many neighbors has dissipated. In the past few days, many people have been on tenterhooks, worried that the giant toad by the river might suddenly go berserk and attack the building.

Residents, especially those living on lower floors, are particularly worried.

They used to think that living on a lower floor had its advantages, as they wouldn't have to climb stairs every day.

It now appears that the safety issues on lower floors are actually more serious.

Some residents nailed wooden boards to the outside of their windows, sealing them off completely.

Qin Ziwen and the others passed through the building and went directly back to the eighth floor.

After going upstairs, I arrived at room 502.

This was Wang Jun's first visit to Qin Ziwen's home.

Upon entering the living room, the first thing that catches the eye is the spectacular Sky Arrow Corridor on the balcony.

He opened his mouth, turning his head to look at Qin Ziwen in disbelief. "No, buddy, I know you're amazing, but isn't this building a bit too much? Are you even open for business?"

Wang Jun opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally gave a wry smile, "I'm truly convinced."

Yuan Ming, the boisterous, chubby man, sat down somewhat awkwardly, and after a long while, he finally uttered, "No wonder you're the captain."

Qin Ziwen said, "This is an advanced building, the Heavenly Star Arrow Corridor. You can practice archery inside. It's faster to practice archery inside than outside. In the future, members of our team who are recognized can come here to practice in their spare time."

Yuan Ming asked curiously, "Captain, what does it mean to gain recognition?"

Wang Jun shook his head and smiled wryly. This simpleton, he really wondered if his head had been hit by a tree and gone mad. "The captain is willing to bring you to his house, so do you think he approves of you?"

Yuan Ming: \(T.T)/
Upon hearing the purpose of the building, Yang Cunshen's eyes flashed with a strange light. "With this building, wouldn't it be possible to quickly train a group of skilled archers?"

Qin Ziwen said, "Our team is small. I discovered a problem during today's hunt. This time we used Molotov cocktails, but next time, the gasoline will eventually run out. When hunting wild animals, having a reliable ranged attack method is very important. I don't expect everyone to become a sharpshooter, but being proficient with a bow and arrow should not be a problem, right?"

“No problem, Brother Qin. I’ve always felt like I might be an undiscovered archery genius, and now I finally have a chance to prove myself! From now on, you can call me Little Yang Youji,” Li Yue said excitedly.

Yuan Ming coughed and said, "I also think 'Little Li Guang' sounds better."

Qin Ziwen reminded them, "By the way, Dr. Wang, Brother Yuan, there's something I forgot to tell you. The next map is the Gobi Desert. These next few days, please collect as much water as possible, as well as some tools for storing water."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jun's expression turned serious. "Understood, Captain."

The group then discussed the contribution points required to exchange for these six cards.

Although the argument got heated, the overall atmosphere was still quite good.

"Since the next map is the Gobi Desert, the value of this spring will definitely increase, and it can't be calculated as a regular resource card."

"What if the map after that is an island?"

"This isn't about the next map; let's focus on surviving in the next map first."

"Then this Healing Spring, judging from its name, is also a spring. Perhaps the water here can not only heal injuries, but also quench thirst."

"The carpentry hut is great. Huang Tao has been making a lot of money from it lately."

"Have you ever thought that carpenters' cabins aren't given away to carpenters? Just like wife cakes aren't given away to wives."

"But if managed well, it should be able to make a lot of money."

"It's not that easy. First of all, a skilled carpenter is hard to find. Secondly, if you use a carpentry shed as a business, you're competing with Huang Tao for business. The neighborhood is only so big, and there are only so many users. High-end business battles often use the most practical methods. Others might wait until you get off work and send people to poach your carpenters."

"Does the orchard card come with a huge orchard inside? This is an amazing card!"

"I don't think so. It should be like farmland, just an area where you can plant fruit trees, and the fruit trees will grow faster."

"My God, I have to go find the fruit trees myself. This card is such a rip-off. It seems that not all cards are useful."

The group discussed the matter intensely for nearly half an hour.

Finally, an exchange rate was determined.

Furthermore, it was decided that this exchange value is limited to the current batch of cards. If the map changes in the future, or if everyone's survival situation improves, the exchange price of newly acquired cards will need to be reassessed, but the exchange prices of cards that have already been determined will not be changed.

First, the Level 1 Orchard [Building Card] is considered the most worthless card at present, requiring only 3 contribution points.

[Building Card] The Level 1 Carpentry Hut is relatively more valuable, but it requires you to manage it yourself, and there is already a similar building in the community, so there is a risk of competition. It is set at 5 contribution points.

[Expansion Card] Blank Expansion Card (Small) is an essential prerequisite card for buildings that require high ground area. The additional 400 square meters of area is very attractive. It is worth it just for storage space, so it is set at 8 contribution points.

[Resource Card] Level 1 springs are extremely valuable in the next new map and are considered high-value resource cards. However, the output of Level 1 springs is extremely limited, only enough to supply one's own drinking water, making it difficult to trade resources. Therefore, it is rated as 6 contribution points.

[Advanced Resource Card] The Level 1 Healing Spring, while seemingly possessing the function of a spring, also has a healing effect. In addition, as it is an advanced card, it is a high-value god card that can be used throughout the entire map and is set at 25 contribution points.

The [Building Enhancement Card] can randomly grant a building a special effect. Theoretically, its value is no less than that of the Advanced Building Card. However, the randomness and instability cast a shadow on its value. If it randomly gets a useless special effect, it will be a waste. Therefore, its value is greatly reduced and it is set at 8 contribution points.
