Chapter 8 Wild Vegetables for Points

Su Xiao thought so too; they hadn't gained any resources, and Jiang Li and Li Lan probably had even less.

As the group approached the foot of the mountain, they expected to see Li Lan and the others, who were already waiting there, feeling disheartened. However, they were surprised to find that there was no one there.

"Strange, where are Li Lan and the others?"

Everyone looked around and confirmed that Li Lan had not yet come down the mountain.

Chen Feng glanced at the time.

There is still half an hour before the meeting time.

"Wait a minute, it's not time yet."

Wang Guihua said impatiently, "Why are you coming down the mountain later than us? What are you dawdling about?"

Some people worried, "Could it be that we've encountered a mutated beast?"

Chen Feng's heart sank.

Once we got here, we were no longer within the signal coverage area of ​​the field, so we couldn't contact them and could only wait.

"Wait a little longer. If we haven't come down the mountain by the appointed time, I'll go back and have the patrol team come and look for us!"

After a long wait, someone finally came down the mountain.

"Was it Li Lan and the others?"

"It looks like they've come down!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and realized that it was indeed Li Lan and her group.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it wasn't eaten by a mutated beast, that's fine."

"It's good that you're back."

"etc--!"

"What is that?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Because they could see Li Lan and her group of five from afar, carrying things on their shoulders, in their hands, and on their backs...

Everyone looks like they're carrying a lot of things!

"What did they bring down the mountain? Why are there so many?"

"What are you carrying?" someone called out from afar.

Li Lan smiled and said, "Wild vegetables!"

"What?!"

"Wild vegetables?"

"How is this possible? How can there be so many wild vegetables?"

The crowd could no longer sit still and quickly walked towards Li Lan and the others.

Take a closer look—

Good guy!

"Isn't this bracken?"

A whole basket full of bracken!

"Pea shoots...and houttuynia cordata!"

"Wait! What's this? A pheasant!"

A group of people immediately surrounded Li Lan and her group of five, especially when they saw the hen that was tied with a rope and had its eyes darting around. Their eyes widened in amazement.

"One, two, three, four... Good heavens! You caught seven!"

"So big and so fat!"

"Where did this pheasant come from? Is it edible? Has it mutated?"

"And these wild vegetables, how come there are so many? Didn't we already go to the east? There's no food available there at all."

Li Lan smiled and said, "These were all found behind that thicket of thorns."

"A thicket of thorns? Is it the mutated thicket of thorns we encountered before?"

No one had thought of searching behind the thorn bushes before, because they didn't know how big the area was and were afraid they wouldn't be able to find their way out.

Li Lan nodded, "It's all thanks to Jiang Li. It was Jiang Li who led us to search behind the thorn bushes. If it weren't for Jiang Li, we wouldn't have gone there to search."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Li.

It was Jiang Li's idea!

If only they had gone east with Jiang Li! Who knew there were so many resources in the east?

"I'm so lucky."

"So many wild vegetables, they should be worth a lot of points, right?"

Jiang Li not only had a full basket on her back, but also several bundles tied with straw rope in her hands!

Wang Guihua was green with envy.

Su Xiao clenched her fists.

How could this happen?

Originally, it was thought that Li Lan would go to the west with Jiang Li and end up with nothing, but she ended up with a full basket of edible wild vegetables and even caught a few chickens that hadn't mutated. It was heartwarming to see!

If only these resources were theirs! Why don't they have that kind of luck?

"Stop sighing and complaining," Chen Feng said. "Jiang Li deserves what she got. We've seen that thicket of thorns before, and nobody wanted to go in. Who's to blame?"

"Yeah, they're really brave to venture into such a dangerous thicket of thorns."

"That's really impressive!"

As they discussed it, the group started walking back.

Su Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim.

It all boils down to good luck, what's so great about that?

Back at bus stop number 13, Jiang Li saw an electric tricycle parked by the bus stop in the distance, surrounded by a crowd of people. It was quite lively, with some patrol soldiers also gathered there, seemingly engaged in some kind of transaction.

"What are they doing?" Jiang Li asked.

"Those are merchants who travel between the safe zone and the field zone."

Li Lan explained, "They come almost every day. If you have resources, you can give them to them to exchange for points. Of course, you can also use points to exchange for the resources they bring, such as staple food, vegetables, and seasonings."

Some people are trading with merchants, while others are still haggling.

"Captain Chen, how was the harvest today?"

Huang Youhua knew that these people regularly went to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables, so as soon as he saw Chen Feng and the others, he put down his things and eagerly came over to ask.

"I'm not some kind of team leader. We're just traveling together for mutual support," Chen Feng said. "I haven't had much success on my end, but a few people have had pretty good results. Why don't you ask them?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Youhua looked at Li Lan, Jiang Li, and the others, and his eyes widened in surprise!

"My goodness! So many wild vegetables! Did you dig up all the wild vegetables in the mountains?"

Li Lan took out a large bundle of bracken that she had prepared in advance, some of which were picked by Ye Qing and Ye Tong.

How do you harvest bracken?

"60 points per pound, will you sell?"

"Sell."

Huang Youhua used a large detector specifically designed for harvesting vegetables to inspect each bundle. If a mutated plant was found in a bundle, the detector would sound an alarm.

After a series of tests, everything passed safely!

"No problem! It weighs 16.8 jin (8.4 catties) in total, which is 1008 points. I've transferred it to you!"

When Sun Dayong saw that Li Lan had suddenly received more than a thousand points, his eyes widened in astonishment!

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

Look at his own resources, he only has enough for his family to eat two meals a day, where would he find the extra to exchange for points?

Li Lan: "I won't exchange the rest; I'm keeping them to make pickles."

This good luck doesn't come every day, so Li Lan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to stock up on more pickled vegetables so that she could have pickled vegetables with every meal for the next two weeks.

"Girl Jiang, how many vegetables do you have here? Let Huang Youhua weigh them for you, and you can take some out. Vegetables don't keep well and spoil easily."

Jiang Li unloaded the basket from her back and sorted the wild vegetables, handing them over to Huang Youhua to weigh.

Jiang Li was the one who had the most fruitful day.

Everyone gathered around curiously, wanting to see just how many wild vegetables Jiang Li had picked that day.

"Bracken fern - 15.1 jin (7.5 catties)"

"Pea shoots - 13.8 jin (approximately 6.4 catties)".

"Houttuynia cordata - 8.5 jin (4.25 catties)"

"A total of 37.4 jin!"

Upon hearing this number, everyone gasped in surprise:

"Thirty-seven pounds! That's like striking it rich!"

"Just one trip into the mountains and I brought back so many resources! There's no need to farm anymore; I might as well go up the mountain every day to dig for wild vegetables and exchange them for points!"

"Nonsense, the resources in these mountains aren't inexhaustible. They'll eventually run out. How can we go up the mountain to dig every day?"

As Jiang Li listened to everyone's conversation, a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

Complete digging?

It's endless, there's no way it can all be dug out...
