105: Chapter 105 It's so good!

The temperature in the wasteland plummeted to minus forty degrees within just half an hour.

Although the combat uniforms worn by most students had some cold-resistant functions, they were still a drop in the bucket in such extreme low temperatures.

They had to huddle together in groups of three or five, relying on each other's body heat to fight off the bitter cold that was enough to freeze blood.

Under a wind-sheltered rock wall.

Tang Si was surrounded by purple lightning.

The leaping lightning emitted a high temperature that barely dispersed the surrounding chill.

But he was still frozen until his face turned blue.

Although using spiritual energy to protect the body could insulate against the cold, it consumed a massive amount of energy.

At this rate, his spiritual energy would be exhausted before dawn.

Damn it!

Tang Si cursed, squeezing a puff of white air from between his teeth.

This isn't an assessment; this is clearly murder!

The surrounding lackeys were shivering so violently they couldn't even speak, and could only look at the lightning on Tang Si with longing eyes, trying to get closer.

Just then.

An incredibly overbearing aroma drifted with the wind and entered everyone's nostrils.

It was the smell of beef tallow bubbling at high temperatures.

It was the spiciness created by the collision of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers.

It was the rich fragrance of cumin combined with lamb.

Gurgle.

It was unknown who swallowed their saliva first.

In this hungry and freezing deep night, this scent was even more lethal than the most potent aphrodisiac.

It's hot pot!

Someone exclaimed.

Over there!

Everyone looked in the direction of the scent.

They saw that on a flat piece of ground a hundred meters away, a huge military windproof tent had been set up at some point.

The tent flap was half-open.

Warm yellow light spilled out from inside, appearing exceptionally glaring in the pitch-black wasteland.

Through the curtain, one could clearly see a steaming copper pot placed on a stove.

Red oil bubbled, and the aroma of meat overflowed.

Beside the copper pot, Lin Fan was wearing a thick down jacket, holding a pair of long chopsticks, and swishing a slice of red and white marbled beef roll into the pot.

He dipped it seven times up and eight times down.

He fished it out.

Dipped it in sesame sauce.

Put it in his mouth.

That satisfied expression on his face made the stomachs of the people in the distance cramp violently.

Damn!

Tang Si couldn't take it anymore.

He dispersed the lightning around him and rushed over with a group of people.

Even if they couldn't eat meat, just mooching off the warmth would be good.

However.

When they rushed to within ten meters of the tent, they had to stop.

Because a huge wooden sign was blocking the middle of the road.

A few lines of large characters were written on the wooden sign with a fluorescent pen, shining in the night.

[Myriad Treasures Pavilion Wasteland Branch · Cold Protection Zone]

[Today's Special: Red Oil Hot Pot Set]

[Price List:]

[1. A bowl of hot soup (includes two slices of meat): 50 points]

[2. Rent a military overcoat (one hour): 100 points]

[3. Tent admission ticket (includes all-you-can-eat hot pot): 500 points]

[4. Deluxe Supreme Set (overnight stay + hot pot + massage chair): 2000 points]

[No credit, collateral accepted!]

Looking at this outrageous price list, the corners of Tang Si's eyes twitched wildly.

500 points?

You have to know, hunting an E-rank exotic beast only gives 10 points!

This is practically robbery!

Lin Fan!

Tang Si roared, pointing at Lin Fan, who was eating with grease all over his mouth.

Do you have any shame!

We are all classmates; in this desperate situation, you are actually thinking about making a fortune?

You have supplies but don't share them, and you're charging points?

These words immediately resonated with the surrounding students.

Exactly! That's too much!

We are all from the Tianjiao Camp; we should help each other!

Lin Fan, you are causing division!

Facing the accusations, Lin Fan slowly swallowed the beef in his mouth.

He picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, then picked up the hot tea beside him and took a sip.

Are you done?

Lin Fan raised his eyelids and scanned the indignant crowd.

First, I brought the supplies in based on my own ability.

Second, this is the Death Wasteland, not a charity.

Third...

Lin Fan pointed to the meat slices bubbling in the pot.

This meat is top-grade marbled beef; I bought it from the best butcher shop in Jianghai.

Think it's expensive? Then go drink the northwest wind; that's free.

After saying this, he picked up another piece of tripe and swished it in the pot.

Crispy and chewy.

Lin Fan exclaimed while eating.

This scene was a double torture of mind and body for the starving and freezing crowd.

Tang Si stared fixedly at that pot.

His stomach was protesting, and his body was craving that heat.

Reason told him not to let this Shrewd Merchant, Lin Fan, succeed.

But his body was very honest.

Give me a 500-point set!

Tang Si suddenly took out his points card and slammed it onto the table.

But I'm warning you, if the meat isn't fresh, I'll tear down your shop!

The whole place was in an uproar.

Young Master Tang, who had just led the condemnation of Lin Fan, actually defected first?

Lin Fan immediately put on a smiling face.

Young Master Tang is generous!

Please come in! Add a set of bowls and chopsticks for Young Master Tang!

Tang Si walked into the tent with a dark face.

A warm current instantly enveloped his whole body.

He plopped down next to the stove, took the bowls and chopsticks handed by Lin Fan, picked up a large chopstick-full of lamb, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The scalding meat juice exploded in his mouth.

In that instant.

Tang Si felt his soul had been sublimated.

All the cold and all the anger vanished in the face of this bite of meat.

It's delicious.

Tang Si mumbled indistinctly.

With Tang Si taking the lead, the psychological defenses of the other students completely collapsed.

I want some too! Give me a bowl of soup!

I want to rent an overcoat! I'm freezing to death!

I have exotic beast materials; can I use them as collateral?

For a time, a long line formed in front of the tent.

Lin Fan sat at the entrance collecting money, listening to the notification sound of points arriving, smiling from ear to ear.

This is no survival in the wasteland.

This is clearly a wasteland resort.

Just when business was at its peak.

Awooo!

A mournful wolf howl suddenly came from the darkness in all directions.

Immediately after.

Countless green eyes lit up in the night.

Dense, like ghost fires.

It's Bloodthirsty Hyenas!

Someone shouted in terror.

My God! So many! At least several hundred!

These are E-rank pack exotic beasts! They smelled the meat and came!

The students who were just immersed in the delicious hot pot instantly fell into chaos.

Although Bloodthirsty Hyenas are not strong individually, they are extremely ferocious and large in number.

Once surrounded, even a Martial Master would lose a layer of skin.

Run!

Stop eating! Life is more important!

A few timid students dropped their bowls and chopsticks and were about to flee.

What are you running for?

A calm voice sounded.

Lin Fan stood up, still holding that megaphone in his hand.

He looked at the drooling hyenas approaching, with no fear in his eyes.

Instead, they flashed with a light of seeing 'walking banknotes'.

Attention, customers.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion is temporarily issuing an emergency bounty mission.

Lin Fan pointed at the hyenas.

These are not exotic beasts; these are walking ingredients, excellent raw materials for blind boxes!

Anyone who kills a hyena and hands over the corpse will be rewarded with one hot pot meat coupon!

Those who kill ten or more will be gifted a Myriad Treasures Pavilion VIP membership card, giving 10% off everything in the future!

If you don't want to be eaten, go turn them into points!

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly injected into everyone's veins.

The original fear, driven by profit, quickly turned into greed.

Meat coupon?

Tang Si, who was eating enthusiastically, suddenly stood up.

He wiped the red oil from the corner of his mouth, and lightning erupted in his eyes.

Lin Fan, you said it!

I'll take this whole pot of meat!

Boom!

Tang Si flashed and rushed directly into the hyena pack.

Purple lightning raged like a mad dragon.

Kill! For the hot pot!

That's my meat! Don't fight me for it!

Kill them to exchange for points!

The students who were shivering just now were now acting as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

They waved the weapons in their hands (or the brick they just bought), screaming and rushing towards the beast herd.

The originally ferocious Bloodthirsty Hyena pack was completely confused by this group of lunatics.

The script is wrong!

They were clearly the hunters, so why did this group of humans look hungrier than them?

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage.

Lin Fan did not make a move.

He stood at the tent entrance, directing the Type-D temporary worker to carry the corpses while silently reciting in his heart.

[System, recycle corpses.]

[Produce E-rank survival blind box.]

As one hyena corpse after another disappeared.

A few dusty little boxes appeared in Lin Fan's hands.

Half an hour later.

The battle ended.

Several hundred Bloodthirsty Hyenas, not even the bone dregs remained.

The students sat panting on the ground; although they suffered some minor injuries, their faces were all beaming with excitement.

Lin Fan! Fulfill your promise!

Tang Si dragged over a dozen hyena corpses, looking arrogant.

No problem.

Lin Fan readily exchanged the meat coupons.

Then.

He placed the batch of blind boxes he had just made on the counter.

Thank you for your hard work, everyone.
