Actually, Qu Jianlei has been hesitating about how to talk to Cindy about the little leopard producing Crystal.

After all, the other party only asked for fifty silver coins and gave up all other possible gains.

Qu Jianlei doesn't mind exploiting people, but for those who trust him, he truly can't do it.

It was only this time, after encountering those two strong individuals, he finally decided to temporarily conceal this matter.

After returning to his residence, he sold the fur, claws, and bones of the five Snow Concealment Leopards, earning just over eight hundred silver coins.

Mainly because he kept the meat of the five Snow Concealment Leopards, otherwise exceeding two thousand wouldn't be a problem.

Half of the eight hundred silver coins supplemented ammunition and oil, the rest, Qu Jianlei spent two hundred on book rentals.

With the remaining two hundred, he gave Cindy one hundred and fifty, Flower Scorpion forty, and Spencer ten silver coins.

The hunt went for nothing; to know this involved five Snow Concealment Leopards, which could be considered quite lucky.

The main portion went to Qu Jianlei, Flower Scorpion took the biggest loss.

However, he has already promised her that he would teach her Tai Chi Thirteen Sabers.

Flower Scorpion didn't mind; she has some savings and isn't short of money for the time being.

Black Heaven's yield was high, but he managed everyone's food, accommodation, oil, ammunition, and Energy Blocks.

Therefore, some accounts don't need to be calculated so clearly; his willingness to teach Saber Technique shows great sincerity.

Then Qu Jianlei comfortably focused on cultivation, not planning to leave the house anytime soon.

The injury on his left arm needs rest, but this isn't the main point—he truly does not want to encounter those two strong individuals again.

However, despite cultivating, thinking of this harvest inevitably depresses him.

Though solving some meat supply problems, it seems difficult to get rich from this.

The more difficult is: Geng Shougong proposed that since you're reading books so quickly, you could consider renting more.

Previously, this news would have made Qu Jianlei quite happy, but now... he finds it a bit troublesome.

Ultimately, it's still about not having money.

He has to consider continuing to repair machinery; though this is not a wealthy job, it can at least compensate for the short-term deficits.

Upon learning this news, Claire cheerfully went to take on jobs.

Winter in Wasteland isn't friendly to children, but if they can eat and drink well and stay warm, they can really endure the cold.

Claire works highly efficiently; she found two jobs in two days, and according to her, these were her picks.

The repair is quite difficult, but Qu Jianlei knows he doesn't have a choice now; as long as the other party accepts the quote, he'll do it.

Finally, he negotiated one job, charging a hundred seventy silver coins, yet it took him a full four days.

Finding repairs like last time with fees up to four hundred is indeed hard; this time the money earned is purely labor expense.

Qu Jianlei gave Claire ten silver coins as commission and rented another one hundred books, leaving him with only sixty.

Actually, his ability to earn money would rank among the top outside the city; others endure the winter, but he has conditions to cultivate.

This also shows that if anyone wants to improve, they must indeed work much harder than others.

After repairing this component, Claire quickly introduced him to another business opportunity.

This business is not small, but sadly it involves refined work, consuming a lot of time.

Qu Jianlei was hesitating when Spencer brought good news; he found out who ambushed them last time.

It's a faction called "Violent Bear," essentially a loose Alliance, with a core team called "Red Snow."

Red Snow's core members number nearly a hundred and possess two armored vehicles, with about five to six hundred people on the outskirts.

Teams under the Violent Bear faction total more than twenty, and the entire faction has nearly three thousand people.

Spencer earned ten silver coins this time and is delighted, actively gathering information while hanging out in bars.

Then he heard that the Black Wind team under Violent Bear tried to extort people, forcibly robbing Mutant Beasts, and was counterattacked.

A machine gunner from the ambush was hit, lost half an arm, and might have to amputate his leg.

This considered him lucky; being wounded in the wild during winter and surviving is already fortunate.

But this isn't the highlight; the point is—the ambushed group fought back fiercely!

"Violent Bear" has always been in the Mutant Beast market; their team members are numerous but can't monopolize the entire market.

So what they constantly pursue is expanding some market share, and their private robberies make them quite notorious.

Hunters usually don't have good tempers, but faced with unpredictable situations, decisively resisting isn't common.

Generally, retaliate a bit if appropriate, then leave some Mutated Beast Meat and walk away.

This both shows that oneself is not easily bullied and gives face to the other... in Blue Star, this is called Jianghu.

Black Wind has twenty or so members, annoying many, but since they joined Violent Bear, not many dare to retaliate.

This time they were unfortunate, and someone spread the news, possibly wanting to vent.

Of course, a shooter being hit isn't a big deal; human lives in Wasteland aren't valued, encountering counterattacks might naturally lead to casualties.

What's discussed is that the Hunters fought back isn't surprising; the surprise is that the other side kept suppressing them with fire!

Not precise shooting, just during sustained suppression, the shooter was wounded by the opponents.
