Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 273 Discussing Earning Contribution Points

If you calculate it that way, even if he can't exchange for those weapons, he won't have enough points.

It's still quite upsetting to see that some things can't be redeemed.

When Cui Yu'an returned to the apartment, Yu Fei and the other two were all there. Seeing him return, they first breathed a sigh of relief, then went to greet him.

"What happened? You went to fight?" He Junlin thoroughly checked Cui Yu'an, looking him over to see if he was injured. Finding nothing wrong, he asked suspiciously.

Cui Yu'an nodded. He wasn't really used to being touched, even if he knew the other person meant well. He subtly moved away from He Junlin and said...

"I was very fortunate to stand out in this war and was appreciated by the Grand Marshal of this base, who took me on as his apprentice."

Cui Yu'an then told him about his time in the army, as well as about the exchange mall and Yufei.

"I think it's fine to exchange the gene serum for yours first. We're both still short of it. Besides, I don't think the government is in a huge rush for the gene serum. You can take me back to Great Xia sometime to discuss this with Uncle Li."

I estimate they'll only exchange for one unit at most for their research; they probably won't need the rest for now. After all, aside from unlocking gene chains and evolving humans, which makes it easier for humans to operate mechs, the gene fluid...

There's still a risk of genetic damage, and the government certainly won't allow people to try it casually. I even suspect they don't want you to use gene serum easily.

"We can exchange some of the medical-related items for the government to use for research. If we can eventually produce them ourselves, it will benefit the people."

After listening to Cui Yu'an's ideas about the points mall, Yufei offered her suggestions. Of course, the final decision on how to redeem the points ultimately rested with Cui Yu'an.

Cui Yu'an nodded.

"We'll go find Minister Li after we finish dinner. I haven't had lunch in the army yet, and I'm starving."

After saying that, he rubbed his stomach, and his stomach rumbled in response.

"I'll cook. What do you want to eat?" Xie Yiren patted her chest, indicating that she would cook today. They continued their discussion.

"Hmm... let's have hot pot."

Cui Yu'an thought for a moment. It had been a long time since they had hot pot, and everyone was exhausted from the Zerg attack today, so they decided to have something simple and quick.

Xie Yiren nodded and went to prepare the materials.

Cui Yu'an and the others were still discussing what would happen next.

"We're almost on the right track to making money, and we can't let Yu'an do all the work of earning contribution points. Should we sneak out on our weekends and bring back some Zerg corpses for Yu'an to exchange for?"

Looking at the redemption interface with only 123 points, He Junlin felt that he hadn't accumulated enough points and asked Cui Yu'an...

"Let's hold off for now. Although the weekend training base doesn't restrict students' freedom of movement and only allows them to stay on campus, leaving the base isn't an easy task."

"Even if I leave the base and kill the Zerg, I can't prove the Zerg's origin when I exchange it, especially since this item has a kill record."

Cui Yu'an didn't quite agree with what He Junlin said.

"This is indeed a troublesome matter; earning points is so difficult for us."

Yufei scratched her head; the more advanced the information technology becomes, the harder it is to keep secrets.

They earn Alliance Coins primarily through consumer goods and services; if they want to get involved in military applications, they can only do so by earning points.

Cui Yu'an's efforts alone are insufficient, and Yu Fei doesn't want him to venture into too many dangerous places just to earn points.

Damn the age limit! If it weren't for the age restriction, even if they couldn't operate the mechs, they wouldn't be afraid of the Zerg.

"Actually, there are other ways to earn contribution points," Cui Yu'an had also thought about this.

I considered earning contribution points through other means, but that method was a bit risky.

"What method?" Yufei and He Junlin asked in unison.

"Regarding planting vegetables, I checked the points redemption section and found that some vegetables are redeemed for around 0.5 points each, but those are mostly common vegetables."

"If we can get some less common dishes, we can exchange them for points with those who have them."

Cui Yu'an said that after hearing Cui Yu'an talk about growing vegetables, Yufei and He Junlin understood the risks involved.

Unmutated plants are extremely rare in this world. Although mutated plants are edible, they are not so easy to obtain.

Basically, the price to pay for going to the forest where the mutated plants live is extremely high.

They not only have to deal with mutated plants, but also mutated animals, and many other potential dangers.

The plants brought back might not even be edible, making the cost too high for the people of this world. Therefore, few would risk such a thing for a meal.

Unless the task is initiated due to the need for a specific plant caused by death or disease.

Therefore, the only types of non-mutated plants they can currently eat are a few categories, used to supplement the body with certain vitamins or as materials for making nutrient solutions.

Forget about other types; they haven't discovered any yet.

Why "temporarily"? Actually, the few types of non-mutated plants they currently possess were discovered by chance in a forest of mutated plants.

Having gone through countless hardships to successfully cultivate and preserve them, the chances of them venturing back into the forest to find other unmutated plants are slim.

The reason has been mentioned before: the cost is too high, and there's no guarantee of finding one.

Even if they could find it, cultivating it would be a huge problem; the soil has been polluted by so many years of disasters and wars.

These unmutated plants would have a hard time surviving in this land. The fact that they discovered these few unmutated plant species back then was only because of the unique geographical conditions of that place, which minimized the pollution of the land.

According to the experts here, encountering such a piece of land is very difficult, which is another reason why the people at the base have stopped searching for unmutated plants.

"That's difficult too. Let's go back to Great Xia today and discuss the exchange with Uncle Li. We'll also dig up some soil to see what kind of pollution it has suffered."

Let's ask Uncle Li to get a small purifier from the wasteland and see if it can purify the soil.

Yufei followed Cui Yu'an's advice and considered the feasibility of the matter.

At 8:30 PM, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yufei casually started a live stream. She could stop anything else, but not the live stream; she needed to keep it running to earn money.

After finishing, Yufei took Cui Yu'an to the place where she planted the positioning seed and returned to the Great Xia Dynasty.

It was also 8:30 PM at Daxia, but there were staff on duty there. Seeing Cui Yu'an and Yufei come out, they quickly came to greet them.

Yufei explained the situation, and the staff on duty led them to the reception room and quickly ran to find Minister Li.

Minister Li arrived shortly after. After Cui Yu'an explained his purpose, just as Yufei had guessed, Minister Li consulted his superiors.

Tell Cui Yu'an that you'll mainly be exchanging for medicines, and for now, just exchange for one or two doses of Level 1 Gene Fluid.

The main concern is that one study might not yield any significant results, so I'm preparing an extra copy. Whether I need another copy will be decided later.
