Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

Chapter 266 Paying debt with work

“I can help you with treatment, but let’s set the rules first.

I have the final say on where the treatment takes place.

In addition, I will put them into the space props."

Hearing this condition, the old toad hesitated.

If it were outside, it would not be able to care about the life and death of these Jade Toad people.

After thinking for a moment, it nodded.

“Okay, our tribe plans to select one hundred jade toads and send them to you for treatment.

I don’t know the price…”

“It takes a lot to eliminate the evil moon energy.

so......

Below the ultimate level, for every hundred jade toads, there is one ultimate level attribute essence.

Ultimate grade jade toad, one by one.

As for you, my senior, I will bear the pain and suffer a little loss, because it’s because we hit it off right from the start!

It can be considered as one of your attribute essences."

The old toad looked at Zhang Chi, who had a painful expression on his face, and said hesitantly.

“Is this price negotiable?

Or is it possible to change the trading method?

Not to mention my Yuchan clan, even if the attribute essence of the entire area is added together, it is not enough to heal all of my clan members."

“Oh, whatever.

Seeing the Yuchan tribe being polluted and tortured, I feel heartbroken. It's a loss at best.

But we have no shortage of other resources.

Let me think…”

As he said this, Zhang Chi shook his head in pain and fell into thought.

After a long time, when the old toad could no longer sit still, he spoke.

"Well, we're all friends.

I can promise to let the nobleman pay off his debt with work."

Hearing the unfamiliar term, the old toad was a little puzzled.

“What is debt repayment through work?”

Zhang Chi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and explained patiently in a gentle voice.

“It’s very simple. I just need to let the treated Yuchan work for me in my shelter for a period of time.

I will provide food, lodging and daily supplies, but all the value they generate during this period will belong to me.”

In fact, Zhang Chi never thought from the beginning that the Yuchan clan could produce so many attribute essences.

His real purpose is to make the Yuchan tribe pay off their debts with work.

Admittedly, he did need a lot of other materials.

But these can be obtained through medicine, food, and trade with the Jade Toad Clan.

In comparison, the Jade Toad, who possesses the gift of the moon, is more precious.

The Yuchan clan has a long heritage and a long lifespan, so their concept of time must be different from mine.

The debt is equivalent to the essence of attributes, so I have to work for him for at least a year to pay it off, right?

All he had to do was to trick the jade toads into his shelter and let them settle down peacefully for a while.

He has plenty of ways to make them happy and unwilling to leave.

If he could win over a sufficient proportion of Yuchan, then he would have the final say on whether the Yuchan clan should have the surname Yu or Zhang.

It’s okay even if you fail.

After all, those Yuchans really have to work when they come to him.

The value they can create may not be worse than purchasing materials directly.

The old toad thought about it for a long time, and finally did not nod directly.

“I need to discuss this matter with the children in the tribe.

How about we trade the attribute essence first, and discuss the debt-for-work arrangement later?"

"of course can.

This is just a suggestion I give to the nobles.

In comparison, I still prefer attribute essence. "

Zhang Chi knew that this matter could not be rushed, as the old toad had limited trust in him now.

There was no way the old toad would agree until he saw definite results of the treatment.

But it’s not a big problem, after all, it can really cure it and the effect is excellent.

Once it sees the healing effects of its own people and the Jade Toad Clan's attribute essence is used up, it will agree to its proposal.

"Then I wonder how long this treatment will take?"

"Early tomorrow morning, I will come to the Jade Toad Clan to pick up the toad in person."

The old toad nodded.

"Alright.

Come to Chan, and get the corresponding supplies according to the prices on this list."

After a while, the old toad handed a space prop to Zhang Chi.

"Dear guest, here are the materials for our transaction.

In addition, three attribute essences and two hundred laurel trees are also inside.

As for the heads of various industries...”

As he spoke, the old toad glanced at the several jade toads waiting outside.

“I would include them in the first list for treatment.

After the treatment is finished, how about these animals staying with you for a while?"

"Alright.

Now that the matter has been settled, I won't bother you anymore.

By the way, before I leave, I want to ask you something."

"Excuse me, distinguished guest."

"I wonder why there is no white fog in the New Moon area, and no fog ghosts?"

“It’s not that there isn’t any, but it’s on the edge of the area.”

......

After leaving, Zhang Chi frowned.

According to the old toad, the white fog and fog ghosts are at the edge of the area, blocking the entire crescent area.

Any creature that tries to escape from the crescent area will be killed by the fog ghost.

As for the reason, the old toad doesn't know either.

It's really evil.

There was nothing wrong with Bai Wu and Xie Yue colluding, he had already guessed it.

But what does it mean to block off the crescent area?

We can't sacrifice the entire crescent area, right?

Zhang Chi shuddered after taking a look at the evil moon in the sky that looked like an eye.

It's not impossible.

First pollute the creatures with the evil moonlight, and then sacrifice them to the evil moon?

Xie Yue is now at least a legend. If he can go one step further...

Zhang Chi teleported to the shelter with Long Aotian, handed the clone puppet to it, and then handed over some ultimate-grade Qingshui and a few Xuyang Pills.

“What these things do is…

Try to see what talent will be awakened after taking it first, and then use it on the main body.

Don't rush to upgrade your new talent to a higher level for now. Once you have used up your talent reset scroll, you can upgrade your talent level."

Looking at the several precious props in front of him, Long Aotian was extremely excited.

This dragon will also have dual or even triple talents!

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely awaken an extremely powerful talent."

Hearing this, Zhang Chi smiled and nodded.

“You are too big, go experiment outside.

If you need anything, ask the Monkey King for it."

After saying that, he teleported to the first floor and transferred the resources that he had just traded from the Yuchan Clan to the storage room.

Clicking on the interface of the affiliated shelters, he found the excellent five-element shelters and upgraded them one by one.

In an instant, 15 level 3 buildings in the shelter were covered in white light and upgraded to level 4.

Originally, because the area expanded too much, the strength dropped to the level of the initial entry into the Excellence Five Elements Array, and instantly returned to the peak of the Excellence level.

Not only that, the Five Elements Array's absorption and transformation of the surrounding free Five Elements energy has also become much faster.

The energy concentration in the crescent area is already very high, and it is even more outrageous within the Five Elements Array.

In the one square kilometer shelter, the energy concentration almost reaches the extreme level.

Well, this trip was not in vain.

With one more transaction, the shelter will have 45 excellent-level five-element affiliated shelters.

By then, even without an ultimate-level array center, with the support of the white jade array plate, the array's defensive capabilities should be able to reach the ultimate level.

Let Sun Shouqing arrange for the monkey to plant the laurel tree. He teleported back to his room and took out the attribute essence sent by the Jade Toad Clan.
