Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Dark Descent (Part 19)

There are quite a few people bartering at the base, exchanging items; Chuzheng sweeps through, mostly food and supplies; people know luxury goods are useless.

Therefore, there aren’t any luxury goods on these stalls.

”What are you looking for?”

The stalls are filled with various items, and she seems to have found nothing she wants.

Ji Lin couldn’t help but ask.

What’s she looking for?

She seems to lack nothing...

Chuzheng: ”...”

I’m looking for luxury goods.

Chuzheng thought that if she said this, the Good Person Card might think she’s crazy, so she kept silent and headed towards the mission hall she just heard about.

The mission hall is near the base entrance, convenient for everyone to pick up and hand over missions.

Chuzheng steps through the base entrance, where numerous electronic screens hang on the walls; tasks are currently scrolling on the screens.

Tasks include searching for relatives, killing zombies, finding equipment, rescuing survivors, but they’re not limited to these, as Chuzheng sees there’s a task to find a dog, complete with a photo of the dog.

Chuzheng: ”...”

The post-apocalyptic people have quite some ideas.

Since someone’s looking for a dog, her quest for luxury goods doesn’t seem so bizarre.

Chuzheng felt comforted and headed straight to the receptionist.

”Accepting a task?” The receptionist glanced at her, initially just casually glancing, but then was left only with surprise.

The young girl before her looked very clean, quite out of place in the dirty and chaotic apocalypse.

Being so clean in the apocalypse; even the receptionist wasn’t this clean.

Chuzheng: ”Issuing a task.”

The receptionist’s attitude became cautious as she typed on her keyboard, asking, ”What task would you like to issue?”

Chuzheng took a deep breath: ”Ten luxury goods worth no less than 100,000 before the apocalypse.”

The receptionist’s typing on the keyboard stopped.

She looked up at Chuzheng, uncertainly asking, ”Sorry, what did you say?” She thought she might have misheard.

Having said it once, repeating it made Chuzheng look much calmer: ”Ten luxury goods worth no less than 100,000 before the apocalypse.”

Receptionist: ”...”

What’s the point of finding luxury goods now?!

Ji Lin also twitched at Chuzheng’s task, which didn’t fit any idea in his mind.

”Can’t make it happen?”

The receptionist was so shocked by Chuzheng’s task that she didn’t respond for quite a while, finally typing something on the keyboard—though she wasn’t sure what, she had to type something at that moment.

”I can, I can... What will you give as a reward?”

Chuzheng placed crystal cores on the table.

Receptionist: ”...”

The receptionist almost exploded on the spot.

With crystal cores in hand but looking for luxury goods now deemed worthless.

There’s something wrong with this person’s brain!

The receptionist carefully counted the crystal cores, finding her breath a bit hard.

How many zombies has she killed to have so many crystal cores?

Fifty pieces!

Since the base discovered the crystal cores, she had seen quite a few, but never this many at once.

Now...

She has seen them.

The receptionist, suppressing her complex and excited emotions, asked for detailed requirements, then completed the procedures for her.

Soon, the electronic screen in the hall displayed a new task.

—Find ten luxury goods, no brand or type restrictions, price no less than 100,000 before the apocalypse, must be completed by three p.m. tomorrow. [Reward: 50 crystal cores.]

Though the mission hall wasn’t crowded, the task immediately drew some people over, asking, ”Which silly roe deer issued this task? Everyone’s worrying about survival, and this silly roe deer still wants luxury goods, what’s the deal?”

Though what was said wasn’t pleasant, it was obvious there was excitement in the tone.

Fifty crystal cores!

Chuzheng, the silly roe deer: ”...”

The receptionist timidly glanced at Chuzheng, embarrassed.

Though she thought so too, could such words be spoken out loud? Especially in front of the person...

The receptionist felt like covering her face.

”Don’t issue this task to him,” Chuzheng spoke up.

Only then did he notice the person standing nearby, giving her a few odd glances: ”Who are you!? What makes you think you can say no?”

The task is easy, and the reward is sky-high; how could one just give it up?

Chuzheng: ”The silly roe deer you mentioned.”

The other person: ”...”

He opened his mouth but was at fault, reluctantly softening his attitude: ”I was just casually mentioning it, it’s my fault for talking too much. Don’t worry, I guarantee I can complete the task, can you let me take it?”

”No.”

”You...”

He seemed ready to make a move, but Ji Lin lazily came over, revealing the gun in his hand and smiling with three degrees of politeness, ”Is there a problem?”

Ji Lin had been a bit far from Chuzheng, so he appeared not to be with her.

This is the mission hall, with officials outside; causing trouble here is asking for trouble.

There was bitterness in his heart; curse his lousy mouth!

He left in a huff, probably to find someone else; Chuzheng only refused to let him take it, not others.

He just went out, and then several people came into the hall.

Chuzheng immediately spotted Gu He standing in the middle.

Gu He was also very clean, but not as leisurely as Chuzheng; at least her outfit was suitable for apocalyptic combat.

She even had Jiang Rushuang’s stuff with her...

Maybe she should be a Good Person and help Jiang Rushuang get them back.

Not sure if they can still be used... if not, they can be decoration for Jiang Rushuang.

”Gu He, check out this task.”

The group didn’t look around the hall, focusing on the screen.

These people weren’t the ones Chuzheng saw last time; apart from Qiu Feng and another guy, the others weren’t present.

”I’ll register,” Qiu Feng immediately approached the receptionist, pointing at Chuzheng’s task, ”We want to take that task.”

There were several receptionists in the hall, and Qiu Feng went to another side, not running into Chuzheng.

Chuzheng knocked on the table of her receptionist, ”Don’t issue the task to those people.”

Chuzheng, the one paying the reward, has the right to choose to whom the task should go.

The receptionist agreed and rushed over to tell the other receptionist.

”Why? Tasks are issued for people to take; why not issue it to us?”

Qiu Feng exploded upon hearing.

Gu He’s group was drawn in.

”What’s wrong?” Gu He inquired.

Qiu Feng pointed at the receptionist, ”They say this task won’t go to us.”

Gu He frowned, ”We followed the normal procedure to take the task, without violating anything; your task has no restriction on who can’t take it, so why can’t we take it?”

The receptionist said helplessly, ”Sorry, it’s the employer’s request.”

Gu He thought, clearly, Qiu Feng was about to register, but it’s only after this receptionist came over that it was not allowed, which means the employer is probably here too.
