Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 267 Buying a Bow
It is the tenth day of the hunting convention, and there are less than three days left before the end of the first stage of the competition. Currently, there are about 120 people left in the first stage. About 30% of the psychics have entered the danger zone, and the rest are still lingering in the safe zone.
Affected by the hunting conference, the atmosphere in the base tended to become more and more lively. Even if you walked on the street at two or three in the morning, you could still hear cheers. The usually quiet and dark streets were now brightly lit by incandescent lights because the shops along the street were open all day.
It's not just so lively in the inner circle, even in the outer circle, people will find ways to go to nearby shops to watch the game.
The hunting competition can be said to be the largest-scale competition that attracts national attention, and everyone is looking forward to their relatives and friends advancing to the final round.
In just ten days, Gu Tongwan had sold all the high-level crystal cores he had obtained to his contacts in the black market, earning nearly 100,000 points at once. He also took some low-level crystal cores and animal skins to the trading center, which quickly earned him another 30,000 to 40,000 points.
After getting the points, she did not spend them recklessly. She went to the land center and paid off part of the remaining money for the house purchase in advance, so that the average monthly payment would be less.
Yu Liang was surprised. In just less than two weeks, she had paid back one third of the remaining amount. Although he didn't know where she got such a large sum of money, he was more and more certain that Gu Tongwan was a hidden rich person.
On her way back, she made a special trip to the new house. At this time, the second floor had been almost completed, and the speed was much faster than she had imagined.
Liu Jinde said that it was mainly because of the good weather. Everyone worked hard in the neither too cold nor too hot weather. In addition, they could eat a full meal at noon every day. Gu Tongwan was very generous to them. Not only was lunch provided for the workers, but they even had a combination of meat and vegetables. This treatment was unimaginable even for the government projects at the base. Their lunch was at most hot potatoes and some mutated cabbage, which did not taste oily at all and could only be said to be barely enough to fill their stomachs. Even so, many people still scrambled to sign up for government projects. After all, they could get meals and work to do.
Gu Tongwan looked at the building and yard that had begun to take shape, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. In half a month, he should be able to move in. He finally had a home.
On the way back, he deliberately went to an outer circle armory. He saw a lot of improved weapons here last time. Gu Tongwan planned to buy some more handy weapons this time.
When I arrived, I saw the boss was wiping a bow that I had never seen before. It was a recurve bow with a poundage of about 45, which was more suitable for men to use.
Seeing her standing at the door without coming in, the boss said calmly: "You can come in and take a look. Do you want to buy tableware or a bucket? If it's a washbasin, it's just sold out today. You have to wait another two days to make it."
Gu Tongwan's eyes were fixed on the bow and arrow and he couldn't move them away.
The recurve bow was indeed very beautiful, in aqua blue color. The entire bow and arrow were brand new, and it looked like the owner took great care of it.
The boss probably noticed her overly focused gaze, so he understood and said, "Eight thousand points, don't bargain, but don't think it's expensive. I risked my life to find this thing at an archery range outside the base, but I almost lost my life, so of course I have to sell it at a higher price, otherwise it would be unfair to my hard work. Besides, there are many people selling bows and arrows in this entire weapons shop, but there are not many such finely crafted ones, and they are made before the end of the world. If I take it to the black market for auction, I can at least get tens of thousands of dollars."
Gu Tongwan knew that the boss was not lying. Weapons before the end of the world were indeed rare. Even the most ordinary Swiss Army knife would be sold for at least two thousand points in a weapons store.
"Can I try it?" Gu Tongwan asked.
The boss originally wanted to refuse. Normally, he cherished this bow and arrow the most, and seldom let anyone touch it. Even his family members had to get his permission if they wanted to touch it. But this time, for some reason, the girl's clear voice and bright eyes made him unable to refuse.
He still snorted in displeasure, but still said, "You better be careful and don't break it. I'm afraid you can't afford the compensation."
Facing a boss with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Gu Tongwan could only smile, and then took the recurve bow that weighed twelve or thirteen kilograms in his hand, thinking that if it were before the end of the world, he might not be able to pull it, but now...
Thinking of this, he pulled the bow with skillful movements, and managed to draw a full arc with the recurve bow that only strong adult men could pull.
The boss was so surprised that he stood there in a daze. After he came to his senses, he said, "Are you a power-type mutant?"
In the boss's opinion, even if it was a female mutant, unless she was born with great strength, she could only be a power-type person and pull the bow so easily.
Gu Tongwan didn't answer, but asked: "I want this bow, do you have arrows?"
The boss seemed to be frightened, with surprise and suspicion on his face. The main reason was that many people had looked at the bow in the past two days, but no one really wanted to buy it. Otherwise, there were some people who tried to bargain it down to an outrageous price and then resell it, but he rejected them all with a firm attitude.
After coming to his senses, the boss replied dryly, “We don’t have the original ones, only the ones we made later. There are only ten of them, and each one is 100 points. And the price of each one is not included in the price of the bow and arrow.
As he spoke, the boss pointed to something in a bamboo basket in the corner. There were ten homemade arrows, all made from bamboo strips. These bamboo strips were taken from mutant bamboo, so they were much tougher than ordinary bamboo. The arrowheads were made of melted iron and installed on them. The whole arrow was not too light when held in the hand.
However, Gu Tongwan has a way to make these ten arrows useful. The small robot in her space can modify these arrows, at least making the tip of the arrows sharper.
Gu Tongwan pulled out ten arrows, then took out his score card and said directly: "Please pack them all for me."
The muscles on the boss's face twitched. He couldn't believe that someone would spend such a huge amount of money to buy a bow and arrow, which was not very popular among cold weapons.
You have to know that bows and arrows are fine as long-range weapons, but in close combat they are far less useful than a machete, a stick, or even a frying pan.
But Gu Tongwan had already taken out the card and handed it to him, and only then did the boss really believe that someone really had a crush on this bow.
Ten minutes later, after spending 9,000 points in the store, the owner even gave her a dust bag for the bow and arrow.
I don’t know if this can be considered an impulse purchase. After all, there are now only four-digit points left on the card.
It was evening when they returned to the guesthouse. The restaurant was almost full. Lan Qin and Xiao Li were busy serving meals. The air was filled with the smell of stewed meat. The proprietress was willing to use some spices, so the smell of the stewed mutant meat was not bad.
Everyone in the restaurant was staring frantically at the projection screen in front of them, which was broadcasting a live broadcast of a fight between a B-level mutant and a mutant cheetah.
"Xiao Li, table number 35 still has a serving of fried potatoes. When you go into the kitchen, remember to remind Lan Qin number 49 to clean it up."
"Hey, I got it."
Several people were busy in a group. Even when they saw Gu Tongwan coming back, they could only smile and nod, and then hurried to the kitchen.
Yesterday I heard from the boss lady that the business has increased several times recently. The main reason is that the network here is good, so there is no freezing problem when watching the live broadcast.
Although other places also provide hall live broadcast, the Internet speed cannot keep up. After all, broadband fees of a few hundred points a month cannot be compared with broadband fees of thousands of points.
The boss lady privately felt lucky that she had made the right choice of expensive broadband.
After the restaurant's business picked up, other people in the guesthouse also became busy, especially Uncle Zhang in the kitchen, who was so busy that the guesthouse even hired a few short-term workers, who could earn 50 points a day, but had to work at least sixteen hours a day.
Although it was very hard work, many people still came for the interview. In the end, the boss lady only kept two young people with kitchen experience to help Uncle Zhang.
"After tonight, there are still two days until the end of the first stage. The second stage will be full of masters. I'm so looking forward to it. Otherwise, it would be boring to watch these noobs fighting monsters every day.
"Come on, you're the loudest in the whole restaurant, and there are high-level psychics in there. I think those at too high a level are too far away from us, so it's better to watch the low-level ones, and you can learn a little bit from them. Let's go to the safe zone and play a few games some other day."
"You are an idiot. Do you want to die or do you think your life is too long? Do you really think it is safe just because it is called a safe zone? That is the big forest in the north. Didn't you see that a B-level mutant beast appeared in the safe zone before?"
"Hey, that was just an accident. Under normal circumstances, you won't encounter Grade B." The man was still being stubborn.
The man who confronted him sneered: "What if you are the unlucky one?"
At this time, someone came out to smooth things over, and said with a smile, "Come on, what's there to argue about? Let's just watch the game. Do you think that person can beat the mutant cheetah? That's a cheetah, it's too fast."
"It should be possible. Didn't Zhang Heng from the Dawn Union kill one this morning?"
"Heh, his one looks like it was injured. Zhang Heng just took advantage of it."
"But I think he has already obtained the artificial crystal core specified for the mission, and has hunted down a lot of mutant animals in the past few days. I guess he has achieved good results in the end."
"If we talk about the group with the best performance, it should be the 'Ultra Dark Mercenary Corps', right? They not only hunt mutant animals, but also plunder the crystal cores of other psychics."
"They are a gang of robbers. Whoever runs into them will be in trouble. Their boss is an A-level psychic. What's more hateful is that they didn't rob you openly. They beat you half to death in a place without drones. Moreover, they used the psychic challenge as an excuse. Since the victim agreed to the competition, it's difficult for the guards to stop it."
Just as a few people were chatting enthusiastically, the scene suddenly changed and someone exclaimed, "Oh my god, isn't this Zhang Heng's team? He successfully hunted down the special demon species? What did I miss?"
