Chapter 144 Is there any need for everyone to be so surprised?

Wang Yu strolled around the Haiyuan base, pretending to be a newcomer curious about everything.

Of course, he was indeed a newcomer, but he still had to put on an act.

For example, at this moment, he stood at a street corner, acting as a bystander, curiously watching two groups of people confront each other.

It should be said that a woman in a white T-shirt was confronting a group of people.

It seemed the woman had accidentally bumped into one of them, and was now being held back and not allowed to leave.

"Let me go quickly, or I'll call the enforcement team!" the woman in the white T-shirt shouted, clearly trying to sound brave but lacking conviction.

"Heh, go ahead. Anyway, I already said earlier that you injured me and have to pay for my medical expenses."

A woman wearing a blue denim jacket was holding the white T-shirt woman's wrist, a clear look of mockery and satisfaction on her face.

Just now, this woman in the white T-shirt had been walking with her head down and accidentally bumped into her. Her mood had already been bad today.

Seeing that the woman in the white T-shirt was also beautiful, jealousy arose in her heart.

So, she decided to detain her and deliberately make things difficult for her.

The woman in the white T-shirt said indignantly, "You're talking nonsense! I was just distracted and accidentally touched you, how could I have injured you!"

The woman in the denim jacket raised an eyebrow and snorted, "I have an injury on my chest. Wouldn't it be possible for your bump to make the injury relapse?"

"You!"

The woman in the white T-shirt was clearly very angry, but anger wouldn't solve the problem. The others present were watching, but they clearly sided with their own.

So, she could only say aggrievedly, "Look at me, I don't have anything valuable on me. Please let me go..."

"That won't do. Even if you're poor and shabby, you still have to pay me. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I paid for my own medical expenses? Besides, you know how expensive medicine is now."

The woman in the denim jacket refused to back down. The woman in the white T-shirt was so wronged that she was almost in tears, "But I, I really have no money. What do you want..."

She was indeed very wronged. She couldn't even afford to eat, so how could she have money to pay for medical expenses?

Seeing the other woman's appearance, the woman in the denim jacket realized she was indeed very poor. Her face was cleaner than her pockets, and the white T-shirt and trousers she wore looked like cheap, unwanted goods.

In the apocalypse, clothes were the least valuable items. You could enter an empty house and find no food or water, but you would definitely find many clothes.

On the official item exchange list, ten sets of new clothes could be exchanged for one point.

Old clothes were not even accepted because the Haiyuan town had restored its water supply system, using safe groundwater, so there was no shortage of water for washing clothes.

The woman in the denim jacket, while thinking about how the other party should compensate her, stared at the woman's full figure and examined her carefully.

Then, she squinted and smiled at the woman in the white T-shirt, "Since you have no money, how about I suggest a solution?"

"Wh-what solution?" The woman in the white T-shirt felt a sense of unease at the other party's malicious look.

The woman in the denim jacket turned around and said to her teammates, "Brothers, you all work hard outside and spend money on women for entertainment when you come back. Today, your sister has found you someone for free. What do you say?!"

"Great! Sister Mei really cares about us!"

"I love Sister Mei! Sister Mei, you're amazing!"

"Sister Mei, you're truly my sister!"

These male teammates naturally clapped their hands in approval. Women like the one in the white T-shirt, who were of excellent beauty, were not something they could afford at normal times.

They went out to fight not just to earn points and have fun with women, but more importantly, to obtain bug crystals and improve their strength.

And most importantly, the woman in the white T-shirt looked like a respectable woman, completely different from those who came out specifically to sell themselves.

Therefore, such a woman, who they couldn't have even with points, and who was free, was truly amazing!

After all, everyone knew that getting something for free was the most satisfying!

Seeing the robust men's wolf-like gazes, their eyes practically glowing green, the woman in the white T-shirt was terrified.

"No! You can't force me. This is a public violation of the base's rules!" the woman in the white T-shirt cried out.

"Heh, I'm not forcing you," the woman in the denim jacket said, holding her wrist with one hand and extending the other, "Since you're unwilling to repay with your body, then pay with money!"

"I, I..."

The woman in the white T-shirt stammered, completely unable to produce a single cent.

The woman in the denim jacket watched her with a smile, not urging her. The more embarrassed the other party became, the more satisfied she felt.

Women's jealousy and revenge were often unreasonable like this.

The woman in the denim jacket knew this principle, but she couldn't change it, nor did she want to.

Now it was the apocalypse, and she had strength. The stronger her fist, the more she could bully those women who were prettier but lacked her strength.

This made her feel like she had recovered the dignity she had lost before the apocalypse.

"How much do you want?"

A sudden male voice broke the woman in the denim jacket's escalating sense of pleasure.

Huh?

She turned her head and saw a tall man with delicate features and an extraordinary demeanor walking over slowly.

She couldn't help but examine him carefully. Hmm... His clothes were also shabby, and the worn-out clothes everywhere suggested that his strength and financial status were probably not good.

Her gaze returned to the woman in the white T-shirt, and the woman in the denim jacket couldn't help but sneer, "You're really lucky. Your man came to save you so quickly. I just don't know if his money is enough!"

The woman in the denim jacket sneered outwardly, but inwardly, she felt inexplicably sour and jealous.

It was enough that the woman in the white T-shirt was beautiful, but she also found a tall, handsome, and extraordinary man. It was really... hard not to be jealous!

Seeing Wang Yu walk over, the woman in the white T-shirt was both surprised and confused. She didn't know him, so why was he helping her out?

"Tell me, how much do I need to pay you to let her go."

Wang Yu walked up to them with a calm expression and said lightly.

The woman in the denim jacket raised her eyebrows, "My injury is not helped by ordinary medicine. I need bug crystals to heal. So... you have to pay me 10 bug crystals!"

"Alright."

Saying that, Wang Yu took out 10 Level 1 bug crystals from his pocket. "Here you go."

"Ah?"

The woman in the denim jacket and everyone around were stunned. Ten bug crystals at once? Was that too generous?

Everyone looked at Wang Yu with a strange gaze. A rich person who could casually produce ten bug crystals, yet wore a faded old outfit?

This was like a rich person in the pre-apocalypse wearing beggar's clothes!

Even the woman in the white T-shirt was dumbfounded. Ten bug crystals were enough to turn an ordinary person into an evolver!

Exchanging them for points with the officials would be worth 100 points, and they were hard to come by.

This was because there was a huge shortage of Level 1 bug crystals. Almost everyone needed them, except for people like Wang Yu who were already Level 3.

Therefore, 100 points usually couldn't buy ten bug crystals. The bug crystals sold by the officials every day were basically reserved by the major evolver teams.

Others who wanted to buy bug crystals could only buy them at a high price from private individuals.

So, the woman in the denim jacket asked for 10 bug crystals deliberately to make things difficult for Wang Yu. She thought that he might have points or could find a way to get them, but he definitely wouldn't be able to produce bug crystals.

But she didn't expect him to casually take out 10 bug crystals without hesitation!

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Wang Yu couldn't help but wonder:

It's just 10 of the lowest-level bug crystals. Why are you all so surprised?
