Chapter 4 Go Home
"Kong Yun, it"s your turn. Did you bring anything good this time?" Old Man Sun smiled and looked at Kong Yun.
Kong Yun placed the parts he had stripped off the zombie"s body on the table one by one. They were all trash that the mercenaries didn"t like. The eyeb.a.l.l.s, nails, bones of the zombies were very troublesome to collect. Furthermore, they weren"t worth much. The mercenaries were too lazy to make a move, so they were cheap scavengers.
Old Man Sun"s counting speed was very fast. When Kong Yun placed the last item on the table, Old Man Sun had already finished counting the value of these items.
"A total of 993 points of survival." Old Man Sun gave a number.
Kong Yun nodded his head. This number was similar to what he had thought. Old Man Sun did not deduct it.
"Do you still want to take a month"s worth of nutrients this time?" Old Man Sun asked.
"Mm, take something of better quality. The last time you gave it to me, it was almost moldy. It smelled like a coffin." Kong Yun said.
"You should be satisfied. Other than me, there"s no such cheap nutrient here for you. A month"s worth of it is only a survival point. It"s a good product that can"t be found even with a lantern." Old Man Sun snorted.
"Do you accept this?" Kong Yun placed the syringe on the table.
Old Man Sun"s eyes flashed. He could tell at a glance that this was the marrow fluid of a zombie. However, the marrow fluid of a zombie actually carried a trace of gold. This was not the marrow fluid of an ordinary zombie.
"Where did you get it?" Old Man Sun wanted to pick up the syringe, but Kong Yun pressed it down.
"Twenty thousand points of t.i.tan Zombie"s marrow. One hand is paid, the other hand is delivered." Kong Yun said.
Old Man Sun"s eyes flashed, "Are you sure this is the t.i.tan zombie"s marrow?"
Kong Yun smiled faintly, "Even if I had ten guts, I wouldn"t dare to lie to you. If I used the marrow fluid of an ordinary zombie to trick you, I"m afraid I won"t be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Old Man Sun chuckled, "I naturally have a way to test if it"s the marrow fluid of the t.i.tan zombie. Give me a drop. I"ll give you an answer in ten minutes."
Kong Yun nodded and pushed the needle. A drop of zombie marrow fell into the gla.s.sware. Old Man Sun held the gla.s.sware and quickly entered the backyard.
The backyard of the Wild Gra.s.s Courtyard had always been a forbidden area. Those who dared to enter turned into ice-cold corpses. Kong Yun did not have that much curiosity because he knew that curiosity could kill people.
"Deal. Twenty thousand survival points. This is a bank card. You can extract survival points from any city in the Huaxia Alliance." Old Man Sun handed Kong Yun a black card.
Kong Yun nodded, put his backpack on, and left the weed courtyard.
After Kong Yun left, the smile on Old Man Sun"s face also disappeared. "A scavenger can actually get the marrow fluid of a t.i.tan zombie."
"Do you want me to follow him?" A black shadow appeared in the darkness.
"Forget it, it"s just a scavenger." Old Man Sun shook his head.
Just a single syringe of the t.i.tan zombie"s marrow fluid allowed Kong Yun to earn 20,000 survival points. This was a sum that he could only earn in two to three years. This could be considered to be an overnight fortune.
Looking at the snack stall on the street, Kong Yun felt that it was fine to indulge himself occasionally. He had more than 20,000 survival points on him, so it was not too much to eat a good meal. It could be considered as a reward for escaping death.
"Eat the kebabs!" Kong Yun walked towards the barbecue skewer stall heroically.
"Boss, give me ten roasted steamed buns." Kong Yun casually sat down.
"Alright, ten roasted steamed buns." The boss ignored Kong Yun"s orders and swiftly stabbed the buns with iron sticks. Soon, the golden roasted buns were served.
The alluring fragrance made Kong Yun"s index finger tremble. Normally, all he ate was nutrients, and his mouth was about to fade out of the bird"s mouth. Finally, he had eaten the real food.
Although these ten steamed buns only needed one survival point, for Kong Yun, who only used one survival point a month, this meal was already considered a rare feast.
However, Kong Yun discovered a problem after eating ten steamed buns. Where was the iron tag? Why was the iron tag missing? Could it be that he had eaten so much iron?
Kong Yun looked left and right without noticing where the iron tag had gone. Could it be that the iron tag could still fly?
Suddenly, Kong Yun caught a glimpse of his palm, and a piece of iron swab actually entered his palm.
However, Kong Yun did not feel any pain, and this iron tag was still slowly entering his body.
Kong Yun glanced at his surroundings and found that no one noticed his abnormality. He threw a survival spot on the table and hurriedly left.
"Who is it? You"re so wicked that you even took away the iron tag!" Hearing the abuse of the boss behind him, Kong Yun ran even faster.
There seemed to be something wrong with his body. Steel could actually enter his body.
Kong Yun saw a water pipe on the roadside. He walked up and held it with his right hand. Sure enough, he saw that the water pipe was melting bit by bit, turning into liquid metal that was absorbed by his body.
However, what surprised Kong Yun was that not only did his body not feel any discomfort, it also felt very comfortable. His body seemed to be thirsting for steel!
Kong Yun suddenly woke up and hurriedly let go of his palm. It was still the same potion. It must be the same potion.
Thinking about the changes in his body, Kong Yun was anxious. His body was obviously abnormal, but he didn"t have anyone familiar with him in Zhan Long City. He didn"t dare to casually tell others about his situation.
"Go home, yes, I want to go home. It"s summer vacation now. My sister has already gone home. She is a student of Huaxia Academy. She must know." The thought of returning home couldn"t be suppressed. Kong Yun spent two survival points to buy a train ticket for the first time. In the past, he had used it to save money.
The reason why Kong Yun wanted to go home so urgently was because he wanted to ask his sister what was wrong with his body, and because he was afraid that his body would have problems or even die.
It only took him half an hour to get off the train on dozens of miles. When Kong Yun got off the train with his backpack on his back and looked at the familiar surroundings, he couldn"t help but let out a sigh of relief.
It had been almost two months since he came home. I wonder if his father"s health is better, if his mother is still working so hard, and if his little sister is more beautiful. There must be many perverts in the school who would disturb her, right?
"Kong Yun is back?" The uncles and aunts in the village greeted Kong Yun warmly when they saw him.
Everyone in the village didn"t know that Kong Yun was doing big business in the city. Every month, he would send back one or two thousand survival points. The expenses of his family were borne by Kong Yun alone!
One or two thousand survival points was enough for a rural family to work for several years.
Kong Yun only smiled at the villagers" misunderstanding. Even his parents didn"t know about him being a scavenger. They only knew that he was doing business in the city. This naturally became their capital to boast about.
After spared a few paths in the village, the somewhat dilapidated house on the hillside was Kong Yun"s home. There was a girl at the door who was carrying water.
"Little sister!" Kong Yun smiled.
"Brother, you"re back!" The girl stroked her hair and revealed a bright smile.
"Where are my parents? Aren"t they at home? Why are you doing all this housework? You have to study hard during the summer vacation. If you can"t keep up with your studies, it"ll be troublesome. Our family depends on you!" Kong Yun took over the courage on Kong Jiashi"s shoulder!
"Hmph! Brother, underestimate me! I"ve always been the top student in my cla.s.s. Theoretically, mechanically, and practically, I"m one of the best. I"m not the kind of delicate and weak woman. I"m going to join the army in the future. My neurons are 78. Even my teacher said that I have a chance to break through the threshold of 80!" Kong Jiashi said proudly.
She was also born to the same parents, but her talent was different from the heavens. If Kong Yun was the mud underground, then Kong Jiashi was the clouds in the sky!
"Yes, yes, yes. My sister is the most powerful. Where did my parents go?" Kong Yun chuckled.
"They went to Uncle w.a.n.g"s house behind the village. Dad"s not feeling well recently. Go get some medicine." Kong Jiashi said.
Kong Yun frowned slightly, "Didn"t I send the money back? Why is Dad still not well? Didn"t he go to the hospital for treatment?"
"I told Dad to go, but Dad said that he wouldn"t go because of some minor illness. I want to save money for your brother to get a wife!" Kong Jiashi said helplessly.
Kong Yun didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. Seeking a wife, his father was thinking too far!
However, since the two elders weren"t around, it would be good if they told their sister about their own matters. The top students of the Huaxia Academy should know a bit.
Kong Yun pulled his sister"s hand into his room, closed the doors and windows, and even pulled up the curtains.
Kong Jiashi was stunned by her brother"s mysterious appearance, "Brother, we are siblings!"
"Scram, what are you thinking? Brother is not that kind of person!" Kong Yun snorted.
"Then what are you doing, brother?" Kong Jiashi looked at Kong Yun curiously.
Kong Yun took a deep breath and said, "You mustn"t scream later!"
Kong Jiashi covered her chest with both hands. "You really don"t want to do that to me, do you?"
"I hope you"ll be in the mood to make such a joke later!" Kong Yun chuckled as his mind moved, and his body instantly turned metallic.
Kong Jiashi exclaimed, "Brother …!"
