Chapter 30 A Gift from Lord Rat
After being attacked by mosquitoes the size of fists once again, Jin Xiaoman shook the empty bottle of mosquito repellent spray, somewhat annoyed.
She could tolerate the continuous rain and the damp air throughout the rainy season, but she really couldn't stand the endless stream of insects.
After all, anyone would get a headache seeing a mosquito the size of a fist with a mouthpart as thick as a syringe trying to suck blood.
After collecting all the nearby green raincoat grass, Jin Xiaoman reluctantly asked a few people in the group chat for help: "Everyone, do you have any extra mosquito repellent spray?"
Item No. 2775: [Only one bottle left, here you go.]
Player 2775 gifted Player Money Full of Mosquito Repellent Spray*1.
The bighorn bull puffed out its chest and charged forward: "Boss, if you've lost everything, then I've lost even more."
Big Horn Bull, chest puffed out, charged forward and tagged ID 2775: "Brother, can I have a bottle too?"
Loves wearing princess dresses: [You're so shameless!]
Jin Xiaoman turned back: "No need, I'll go check the store."
However, despite saying that, Jin Xiaoman still took a detour and first searched the public chat channel to see if there were any people selling sprays at a discount.
She contacted a player who was selling for 30 game coins via private message, but the other party suddenly changed their mind and asked for 60 game coins.
Jin Xiaoman asked why the price had been raised at the last minute.
The reply from the other side was somewhat sarcastic: "[You're already a top player on the wealth leaderboard, and you're still trying to take advantage of us ordinary players? Aren't you ashamed?]"
Jin Xiaoman found it baffling. The item in the store only cost fifty, but this person wanted it for sixty, and then turned around and accused her of trying to take advantage of him.
Money Flowing Abundant: [Has your brain been flooded by the rain these past two days?]
After reading this, the other party quickly blocked Jin Xiaoman, preventing Jin Xiaoman from venting her anger.
She instantly lost interest in searching in the public chat channel and bought four bottles directly from the store.
After sharing the incident in a small group, Jin Xiaoman realized that this was not an isolated case.
Of the five, the old woman's situation was the most serious, with a punch that could deliver 300 tons of force.
She does nothing every day, yet many people come to her door to cause trouble, and many others deliberately make things difficult for her.
Jin Xiaoman sighed. She seemed to understand why number 2775 had been telling her to develop quietly and not cause trouble.
After spraying the mist, Jin Xiaoman rushed to the wild vegetable patch she had previously chosen.
Halfway there, a familiar voice came from above.
"Squeak squeak".
Jin Xiaoman looked up in surprise: "What a coincidence, Rat Master! Are you planning to trade the treasure chest for food? Why don't you come back to the safe house with me tonight?"
The squirrel wiped the rain off its head with its two front paws: "Squeak squeak."
Jin Xiaoman chuckled twice: "What's wrong?"
In Jin Xiaoman's world, the squirrel's squeak sound is not much different, and except for the time with the ghoul, she has never guessed it right.
The squirrel turned around, jumped down from the tree, and ran off in one direction.
It turned around, saw that Jin Xiaoman hadn't followed, and squeaked twice more.
The meaning is now quite clear: she needs to follow.
The squirrel led the way, and Jin Xiaoman followed behind for about two kilometers until they arrived at a place that Jin Xiaoman had never been before.
The squirrel darted up the tall tree in a few quick movements and disappeared among the branches and leaves.
Jin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment: "Hello, Master Rat?"
The squirrel didn't respond; I don't know if it left.
Jin Xiaoman turned around in place, and belatedly realized that there seemed to be no mosquitoes in this area.
Clumps of fresh, green plants covered the ground, their leaves small and round with fine teeth along the edges.
[Beep beep, Level 2 radiation plant detected. Consumption recommended.]
Jin Xiaoman leaned closer and took a sniff.
In this humid air, a crisp, cool, and refreshing scent of herbs and plants wafts into the nostrils, cleansing and invigorating.
It's mint.
Jin Xiaoman picked a cluster of them. According to the store's description, whether she wore it on her body or boiled it into water and sprayed it all over her body, it could repel mosquitoes.
It was only the second day of the rainy season, and she was already annoyed by the mosquitoes, not to mention the other players.
A thought flashed through Jin Xiaoman's mind: if she took this back and sold it with brown sugar ginger water, it would definitely be a huge hit (✧◡✧).
She raised her arm and glanced at her watch. It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and she had one hour left before reaching the threshold of twenty mental points.
We need to act quickly.
She took out a pickaxe and began digging at the edge of the mint field, gradually working her way towards the center.
Avoid the rootstock and main stem, and try not to damage the integrity of the mint.
As the soft, damp soil was turned over, clumps of fresh mint were put into backpacks to repel mosquitoes.
Time passed by, and Jin Xiaoman bought a large sack from the store, put everything inside, and threw it into her spatial storage. She planned to keep these to make tea.
The watch beeped urgently, reminding Jin Xiaoman that it was time to return.
She turned to look at the mint that was still mostly left and couldn't be taken away, and felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
For plants like mint, whose radiation levels are not affected, she can only gain an early advantage by selling them.
After today, other players will know that mint has this effect, and then more people will sell mint.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
After setting an anchor point in the mint field, Jin Xiaoman decided to return.
On the way, she scanned the surrounding plants with her watch as usual.
When you come across any level 1 or 2 plants, regardless of what they are or whether they are edible, take them all with you. If there are a lot of them, leave an anchor point and come back later.
When she returned to the safe house, her space and backpack were overflowing, and she was even tied up with vines with a bunch of things hanging around her.
She went under the eaves, changed into a pair of clean shoes, and hung her raincoat on the hooks she had just pasted up that morning.
Unlike the damp cold outside, the safe house is warm and comfortable inside.
Because it was getting dark, the luminous pearl emitted a faint light, illuminating the room just right.
There was some food on the table, which Jin Xiaoman prepared because she was afraid that the squirrels would return to their safe house and she wouldn't be able to find anything to eat before she returned.
She picked up a piece of cake, paired it with a cup of hot bubble tea, and nestled into the beanbag chair covered with a soft blanket for a good rest.
After recovering five points of mental energy, Jin Xiaoman tied a green stalk of grass around her waist and walked out of the safe house.
This time, facing the ghouls, she didn't plan to use explosive damage items again, and would only use hidden blades.
Therefore, you should be prepared to run away if you can't win.
Less than a minute later, a blue-faced, fanged ghoul was drawn by the green hyacinth and emerged from the depths of the forest.
It was still moving slowly, but Jin Xiaoman felt that it was moving faster than the one from yesterday.
Jin Xiaoman raised her hidden arrow and fired three arrows at the ghoul's right chest.
The three arrows landed in different locations, mostly in the right chest.
The ghouls slowed down, but continued to approach.
Jin Xiaoman raised his hand and fired in quick succession until all twenty arrows had been released.
One of them landed precisely on the tail of the arrow that had already struck the ghoul.
The impact of the arrow knocked the Heart of Purification away.
The ghouls disappeared.
Jin Xiaoman stepped forward and picked up the Heart of Purification and the arrow that had fallen to the ground.
Then they stood still and waited.
Sure enough, not long after, the ghouls reappeared, but this time there were two of them.
Jin Xiaoman looked serious, but instead of retreating back into the safe house, she decisively raised her arm and aimed at one of them.
This time my accuracy improved, and I took one down in thirteen shots.
The other one continued to wobble as it walked towards Jin Xiaoman.
After Jin Xiaoman fired all seven arrows, she calculated the speed difference between herself and the ghoul, and while kiting the ghoul, she picked up the arrows she had fired earlier.
The ghoul got annoyed from being led around and howled, while Jin Xiaoman still had the leisure to throw two lumps of mud at it.
