Chapter 444: Chapter 444

Furthermore, by turning in unneeded resources they would acquire next, everyone could be allocated a considerable amount of Contribution Value. With this, not only did Jing Shu have to transport these miscellaneous goods back, but she could also rake in a significant amount of Contribution Value. Jing Shu felt an indescribable joy blooming in her heart. Her teammates, too, had all reaped substantial rewards.

It was the same beautiful flight attendant, smiling as she assisted everyone with boarding. However, after several months of trials and tribulations, the once-strangers had become well-acquainted. Naturally, returning came at a price. Three teammates were carried onto the plane; one was unconscious, their life uncertain. From another team, everyone perished except for a priest who survived. Who would have thought this mission would be so ghastly?

There was no Monk to carry luggage this time; his hands were gone. Severe burns had left him unconscious to this day. If not for Jing Shu’s medicine keeping him alive, he would have long since passed away.

Everyone carried the various materials they had salvaged from the United States onto the plane. During their first meeting, Jing Shu and a few others were in the front cabin, while Zhen Nantian and his people were in the back. This time, the three injured were settled in the back to rest, and the others gathered in the front cabin.

Of course, as a Doctor, Jing Shu had to administer medicine to the three injured. Their conditions weren’t great, and specific treatments would need to be evaluated back at the Imperial Capital.

The luxury plane finally took off, and Jing Shu and company quickly embarked on their journey back to Huaxia. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to stay in the United States. It was that they didn’t dare to stay any longer.

Yang Yang took out his notebook to calculate the grand total and summarize. "The materials from the first mission, including dozens of shiploads of goods, have already reached Huaxia and have been successfully delivered. These materials can allow tens of millions of Huaxia’s citizens to have enough to eat and survive. The authorities decided to award an additional 3,000 Contribution Value to each person."

Jing Shu rested her chin in her hand and opened the Magic Cube Space’s Second Form, organizing the materials gained from the first mission.

For the mercenary mission to advance in the Underground Black Market, I stealthily acquired many Diamond Mines. The output from these Diamond Mines can be commissioned for secondary processing when I return home or saved for a better price when New Energy is introduced.

Using the Fat Chicken Arena’s victory market, I made several hundred thousand Black Market Coins. These were all exchanged for apocalypse necessities, which have already been shipped back to Huaxia. I confirmed with Mom and Dad a few days earlier that the materials are at Li Yuetian’s place with the Second Team; they’ll be mine to claim once I’m back. Although I spent a lot of Contribution Value, these materials were all obtained through official channels, convenient to use without having to skulk around.

Then, during the smuggling mission, I killed Pei Qi. From this, I acquired her two massive snakes, her private treasure trove, wines, various food delicacies, a large pile of firearms, and more. I’ve already sorted the firearms and plan to distribute some to my family upon my return.

Pei Qi’s firearms later played no small role; at least the RPGs took down an armed helicopter, and the rest proved to be very useful.

Oh, and during the time on the luxury boat, I couldn’t resist nabbing many of the United States’ specialties. In the ship’s cold storage, I snatched various American olive oils, goose liver paste, ghee, cheeses, and expensive caviar. I took tons of tuna, world-class Iberian ham, boxes of longan, premium Kobe beef, and turkeys. Boxes of ice cream, thousand-layer cakes, puddings, desserts, and more also filled my space, taking up more than 30 cubic meters. These all expanded my inventory, and there are so many items I haven’t even tasted before!

I can’t resist such untried delicacies! Each country truly has its own unique specialties. Now, I want to go to Turkey for some roast meat!

COUGH. COUGH. Latest content publıshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Later, when passing through the breeding area, I encountered super large Boston lobsters, precious sea urchins, king crabs, and so on. I feel that the biggest gain was these living creatures. Because they can be bred indefinitely in my space, and in the apocalypse, these creatures are slowly going extinct. I’m collecting as many different species as possible; after all, eating just one type would become tiresome.

One regret is that when the Slave Master later flew over in a gunship, I didn’t have the space to secretly keep the downed multi-million-dollar armed helicopter. In the future, I definitely want to get an armed helicopter as my vehicle!

Jing Shu swiftly added the plan to her to-do list.

Later, in the mountains, the dead tree that almost caused everyone’s death produced a red liquid, of which I collected a lot. This time, I found a small dead tree in Job Sibus’s manor and don’t know if it’s the same dead tree from the fourth dimension. I plan to try cultivating it to see; I’m very curious about things from the fourth dimension.

Also, I acquired a Sulfur Ant Queen in the mountains and named it Number 3, officially promoting it as my new pet. Along with it, I gained the allegiance of hundreds of thousands of Sulfuric Acid Ants, which greatly increased my armed forces. Its value is enormous as well, as it will bring me a steady stream of benefits in the upcoming apocalypse. The sulfuric acid it produces could become an industrial chain and even a money-printing machine. Sadly, some were killed in the explosion at Rhein Manor.

"The second mission was also very successful. Qian Duoduo successfully obtained the equipment, and we received some extra oil coupons," Yang Yang said, holding a notebook and tallying the Contribution Value spent on transactions by everyone during that period.

Jing Shu also started sorting out the gains from the second mission.

This mission was Qian Duoduo’s private mission to obtain vegetable dehydration technology and was completed in Austin City. I partnered with Dr. B to swindle a huge amount of supplies. Considering radiation issues, everyone only took away the rare ores, and I received just 100 tons. However, it’s still quite impressive. Firstly, these were obtained through legitimate channels, and secondly, rare ores will become increasingly scarce and valuable without mining technology in the apocalypse. With this batch of ore, I can do a lot of things.

At the same time, I obtained coffee Seeds from the Austin Castle and planted them in the Magic Cube Space. After some time, they are about to mature. This is the most expensive Gesha coffee tree in the world. Its beans produce a brew with notes of lemon, tangerine, and strawberry, tasting more like fruit juice than coffee. These flavors intermingle, leaving a floral aftertaste.

Of course, I didn’t plant six cubic meters of coffee trees just because I was craving it. Definitely not! It was certainly because it could resist the spread of a new zombie virus expected in two years, help suppress the growth of rotting flesh, and prove very effective against certain organisms. That was why I planted it. HUMPH.

The biggest gain from the second mission was 400,000 Seeds. This is my private property. I’ve divided them into three parts: one part to exchange for Contribution Value with the nation, one part for Wu City (though the price isn’t yet negotiated), and one part to keep for myself. Similarly, these were obtained through legitimate channels and are very precious.

At the same time, I also realized that Zhen Nantian’s ability might be related to dimensions.

Jing Shu promptly jotted this down.
