The reason for birthday sounds like a cover.
When the big cat was born, the apocalypse did not come. Naturally, it would have no intelligence. How could it remember its own birthday.
Xiao Mao looked down at the red crystal in his hand, "Do you want me to use this as a birthday present for you?"
Yu Jiatang straightened his face: "How could it be. Dad likes whatever you give, but..."
"It's not easy for Dad to raise you, you have to be more thoughtful when choosing gifts."
"Father is a vulgar cat. I don't like the kind of politeness that emphasizes affection."
Xiaomao: "..."
"Then I'd better give you this red crystal. I have nothing else to give, so don't dislike it."
How could you dislike it! Bring it here!
Yu Jiatang: "You child, you are good at everything, even if you are too honest, you will get money for being filial to me. Forget it, I don't expect you to give me something good to move the cat. The red crystal is the red crystal, which is also your heart , Dad... Wait a minute, son, didn't you say that the red crystal was given to Dad?!"
How do you put it in your pocket!
Xiao Mao opened his eyes wide: "But you have no place to pretend, if you don't put it here, where should you put it?"
Yu Jiatang: "..."
As for the fact that he has space, Xiaomao knows that he bought Xiaomao's storage bag on the system, and this brat is clearly doing it on purpose when he says this now.
However, Yu Jiatang still had to swallow this mouthful of old blood.
Hehe, anyway, it was his in the end, so he couldn't run away.
Captain Xiaomao easily killed a second-level zombie, and the others had a new understanding of his strength.
Before everyone joined the team, they didn't think much of this person and cat, they came purely for the welfare of the team.
In the process of fighting side by side and getting along with each other, I had a preliminary understanding of their strength and behavior, and felt that this mercenary team was quite reliable.
But the leader is a mutant beast and a child, which makes others feel a little... uncomfortable.
Xiao Mao's domineering leak this time is a kind of encouragement and appeasement for others, making them confident in this task, and it is also a kind of deterrent, telling them that they should not treat the child in front of them as an ordinary person, and they want to fool the task even more. Don't even think about it.
"Red crystals are much more valuable than green crystals. I was worried that our delicious meal would make the team poor. I didn't expect Captain Xiaomao to hit a red crystal in a blink of an eye." Hong Qinggui returned to the car near the vehicle. After entering the safe area, the blood on his face did not slow down.
The base now mainly circulates transparent crystals, followed by green crystals, and second-level red crystals, which can only be obtained by second-level supernatural beings or dispatched troops. They are very rare in the base, and naturally they are more valuable.
However, as soon as a third-level mutant crystal appears, the second-level red crystal will naturally drop in price.
"That's right, and this time I probably scared Sister Hong enough, Team Cat, why don't you donate some of your dried fish and dried shrimp paste to scare Sister Hong?" Chen Jing started to act desperately again.
Yu Jiatang: "Sister Hong doesn't eat fish or spicy food, but I have small cakes, and sweets are more soothing..." The big cat got into the trunk and searched in the large and small fresh-keeping boxes inside with its buttocks pouted. After a while, I found the one with the small cake.
Hong Qinggui saw the big cat coming over with a cake box in its mouth and handed it to him, and recalled that in the critical moment before, the big cat protected her and confronted the second-level zombie outside the earthen wall, and his eyes turned red when he was moved for a moment.
Sometimes the caring behavior of animals can soothe and soften a person's heart more than words of comfort from others.
Especially in the harsh environment of the last days, the behavior of big cats is even more valuable. Hong Qinggui was completely fanned by the big cat at this moment.
Yu Jiatang saw that Sister Hong's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry, and she was so frightened that she wanted to stand up, so she quickly communicated with her: "If you don't eat, I can eat it myself, hurry up and take it, otherwise It won't be long before it goes bad."
Hong Qinggui: "..." I was about to cry, but when I heard what Big Cat said, I just smiled helplessly.
Because we killed zombies outside for a while this time, everyone's powers were completely consumed, and their physical strength couldn't support them, so they rested in the car for a while.
Chen Jing was originally a brawny man, and this meal was the sum of all the other people's meals.
Seeing that posture, Chen Jin felt a little embarrassed for her younger brother: "I said you can't eat less, is it because you don't usually eat enough?"
Chen Jing rubbed his head and smirked: "The main reason is that I'm too hungry this time."
Yu Jiatang was lying beside him, and Xiao Mao was feeding His Majesty small cakes spoon by spoon.
"It's okay, let him eat. Anyway, the food he ate the most is limited in supply, and the extra food must be paid at the market price."
Chen Jing: "..." What
Chen Jin slapped her thigh immediately: "Yes! I forgot about this!"
As he said that, he looked at his younger brother apologetically: "Ah Jing, I'm sorry, I forgot to remind you before. This is mentioned in the employment contract."
Chen Jing didn't have a high degree of education, and he couldn't bear to read the terms and conditions in those contracts, so when he and Chen Jin went on missions, Chen Jin would handle the contract-related matters, and he only needed to press his fingerprint on it.
"..." Chen Jing's hand to get the food froze in the air.
He looked at his elder brother in shock, but Chen Jin has already calculated the money he needs to pay the cat team in seconds with his super high computing power.
"3500 transparent crystals." Chen Jin continued, "If you eat any more, this task will be for nothing."
Chen Jing was frightened into an idiot.
Yu Jiatang was secretly refreshed, he had wanted to punish this idiot for a long time!
Seeing that Chen Jing's appetite changed from a big appetite to a loss of appetite, and he even showed "anorexic tendency", and when he was sluggish, Captain Xiao Mao came to sing a red face.
"Don't worry, the cat team is just scaring you. It was said before that three meals will be provided. Even if you alone are worth three other people plus one meal, the team will still provide meals."
"You are the main charge of the team, and the food limit clause is not valid for you. Eat at ease."
Big Cat and Xiao Mao sang bad faces while the other sang red faces, and there was Chen Jin, a black-bellied elder brother who was interested in cheating younger brothers, and Chen Jing was about to be played badly by them.
This break did not end until the afternoon. From the afternoon to the end of the evening, the efficiency of the entire team was very high, twice as much as in the morning.
When returning to the car at night, Xiao Mao suddenly said, "Change the battle time tomorrow."
"Everyone used to take a break for 40 minutes, but tomorrow it will be more than 80 minutes of free choice until the ability is exhausted."
After Yu Jiatang listened to it, he understood what this little brat meant.
Chen Jin saw that the other three people still half understood and half understood, so she explained: "Have you noticed that today's power consumption is too much, and when you replenish it again, it seems that you have replenished more than before?"
"Also, when everyone stopped fighting to rest in the afternoon, they weren't too exhausted. Even Uncle Sun still had energy to spare."
"You mean..." Hong Qinggui understood.
"Yes, the ability is completely consumed, and after it is recovered again, there will be a significant increase. It's just that I can't be sure how many times this obvious increase can last. Maybe it will only be a very weak increase later on."
Yu Jiatang finally concluded: "Yes, what Chen Jin said is what I want to express."
Team members: "..."
Seeing the eyes of the team members, Yu Jiatang licked his mouth and felt that as the team leader, he must establish an image full of wisdom in front of the team members.
He thought for a while and then communicated with others: "Since the power can grow in this way, it means that the way to improve the power is not only the use of mutated crystals, maybe through some kind of 'exercise'" to grow."
Chen Jing finally had a quick wit: "Team Cat, you mean the kind of practice similar to martial arts novels?"
"Not too bad."
Chen Jin said cautiously: "We can slowly explore the method of cultivating supernatural powers, but it's best not to try it out in a hurry."
"I understand this! Isn't that how the obsessions in martial arts dramas come about?" Chen Jing thought that the example he gave was perfect and couldn't be more appropriate.
However, his own brother didn't want to bully him, "Tomorrow we can try the method proposed by Captain Xiaomao. If it works, then the statement that the abilities proposed by the cat team can be improved through cultivation is very credible."
On the second day, the fighting time of all members was stretched from tens of minutes to more than an hour, and the abilities in their bodies were almost consumed.
At the same time, the task progress shown on the captain's nameplate has reached three-fifths, which means that less than half of the zombies on Jingxi Road are left.
And three-fifths of the area that was wiped out, most of them were killed by the long-legged mercenary team.
As long as they maintain this speed, the number one achievement of this mission will be theirs.
When everyone recovered their powers and physical strength in the afternoon, as expected, they were even more powerful than they fought yesterday.
They killed three or four thousand zombies that day.
The speed at which they eliminated the zombies frightened the mercenary teams next door, thinking that the display on the captain's nameplate was wrong!
New small groups of zombies join in every day on Jingxi Road, but the increase in the number of zombies is far behind the speed of being killed.
The mission, which could have been completed in at least half a month, changed from a long-term mission to a short-term mission with the presence of the long-legged mercenary team. In less than five days, Jingxi Road was completely cleaned up.
After returning to the mission hall, Chen Jin and others expressed their desire to sign a long-term employment contract with the cat team. In this way, the share of their task rewards and other benefits can also be higher.
Several people went to the management office together, and each spent a dozen transparent crystals to register as regular members of the mercenary team.
They took the first place in the mission this time, which attracted the attention of many bounty hunters. For a four-star mission like this, if you take the first place once, the contribution points of the mercenary team given by the mission hall can recover the cost of the team.
Contribution points can be exchanged for materials in the mission hall, including mutant crystals.
It can also be used to upgrade the level of the mercenary team. The higher the level of the mercenary team, the cheaper it will be to exchange supplies in the mission hall.
The contribution points are drawn directly to Yu Jiatang's captain's nameplate, which is directly kept by the cat team.
Suddenly changing from a poor cat to a wealthy cat, Yu Jiatang felt a little lost in himself, seeing all the things in the mission hall exchange shop, he wanted to buy them all.
"By the way, where's my red crystal?" Yu Jiatang had to meet her own red crystal every now and then, making it like a long-distance relationship.
