Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 98: Wild Leek Seeds, Bronze Quality Insider Card

Loris's ambition didn't surprise Yu Yuan much.

After all, those who could survive in the wasteland world until now were never lacking in ambition and the pursuit of power.

Loris was like this, and Yu Yuan was the same.

Yu Yuan also saw an unfamiliar name on the whiteboard—Luo Mei.

This name was completely unfamiliar, but combined with the Nightingale intelligence on the whiteboard, Yu Yuan recalled someone Qingqing had mentioned.

Fries's lover at Nightingale—Sister Mei.

Fries couldn't have stayed at Nightingale all the time, so the most likely person to provide these photos and intelligence to the Loris brothers was this Sister Mei.

"She might know some hidden information about Lilith!"

Making a mental note of this thought, Yu Yuan put away the notebook.

Although the intelligence gathered this time wasn't directly related to Yu Yuan, it gave him a clearer understanding of the relationships between the Black Shield Police Department, Nightingale, and the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.Loris's secret investigations and analytical guesses provided Yu Yuan with many ideas and helped him connect many clues.

Yu Yuan still didn't understand the situation in other districts of Green Forest City.

But as far as the eastern city was concerned, the real boss wasn't the so-called Black Shield Police Department, but the inconspicuous Aurora Animal Assistance Association.

They were the true rulers of the eastern city.

The Black Shield Police Department and Nightingale were merely the violent machinery and wealth accumulation tools that the Aurora Animal Assistance Association placed in the open.

The most terrifying thing was that most people, even high-ranking members, in both the Black Shield Police Department and Nightingale didn't know this truth.

Only the leaders of the two organizations truly understood the situation—Police Chief Hogg and Lilith.

Powerful yet knowing how to hide, not only possessing strong research capabilities but also consciously controlling the numbers of scavengers, wasteland wanderers, and survivors in the district.

Through Nightingale's pleasure den, they imperceptibly absorbed scattered resources from the entire city.

"Aurora Animal Assistance Association... What kind of organization is this? Unfathomable, completely unfathomable!"

Every time Yu Yuan thought he understood the true strength of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, he quickly discovered that what he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg.

Thinking about the Thug Prison and Burning Fortress preparing to attack the Black Shield Police Department, a thought flashed through Yu Yuan's mind.

"Do they know the true situation of the Black Shield Police Department?"

This remained unknown for now, but Yu Yuan was considering how to notify the Thug Prison about this information.

His goal was singular—to create chaos. Only through chaos, by drawing out the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, could he see more of what they were hiding.

Of course, the premise for doing all this was not exposing himself.

Temporarily without any leads, Yu Yuan set this idea aside for now and stopped thinking about it.

Checking the time, he had been busy since returning—upgrading the warehouse, organizing shelves—and it was already 7:30 in the morning.

Even with the 'Abundant Kidney Qi' buff enhancement, he felt slight fatigue.

"It's already the fifteenth day in the wasteland world, half a month has actually passed!"

Thinking this, Yu Yuan looked toward the safe placed in the corner of the room, his gaze burning with intensity.

This was the final item from this operation.

The lock on this safe couldn't be easily opened even with the Excellent-level [Lock Picking] skill.

The outcome was already clear—this lock was of Rare quality.

It was also the highest-level lock Yu Yuan had encountered.

With his previous experience of picking locks above his skill level, Yu Yuan understood that opening this lock would likely require preparation for a prolonged battle.

"I wonder what high-value supplies I can get from this? Big reds, big golds?" Yu Yuan was full of anticipation.

But soon he looked away. Although he wanted to start lock picking immediately, his current condition wasn't suitable for such mentally and concentration-intensive work.

He needed rest to recover his energy.

But before resting, he still needed to complete his daily essential routines.

First, he went to the Resource Recycling Trash Can to check today's refreshed supplies.

"What? Where are my supplies?"

Yu Yuan looked at the empty trash can, somewhat surprised.

It wasn't until he crouched down and carefully examined the trash can by lifting it up that he noticed supplies had indeed refreshed.

It was just that this time's supplies were somewhat special, covering only a thin layer at the bottom of the can, which was why he hadn't seen them.

[Wild Chive Seeds]

Quality: Ordinary

Introduction: These are wild chive seeds growing in the wilderness. Perhaps you can harvest some good food by planting them.

"Seeds! They're actually seeds!"

Yu Yuan's tired spirit perked up immediately.

He quickly realized that what he had put in the trash can yesterday was Mie Mie's sheep dung, meaning these seeds were converted from the sheep dung.

"These were carried in the green grass, or the green grass was mixed with wild chives, which is why seeds appeared."

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

Yu Yuan carefully stored the seeds, then packed the remaining sheep dung from Mie Mie into a bag and placed it in the Resource Recycling Trash Can.

"I hope plant seeds continue to appear tomorrow!"

After disposing of the trash, Yu Yuan treated these wild chive seeds as precious treasures.

Even though he knew nothing about planting, he knew that chives would grow back after being cut.

This meant that once these chives sprouted, he could eat fresh chives.

Moreover, he could eat them for a long time.

"Now the planting trough and seeds are all ready, all we need is soil!"

He had searched on Taotao Hole too, but the soil being sold was basically [Natural Soil]. He still planned to look for specialized planting humus soil for cultivation.

"I'll search on my own first. If that doesn't work, I can consult Dale next time I visit him."

Yu Yuan already had a plan in mind.

Then Yu Yuan walked toward the Magazine Display Stand. As he approached, he could already see a card glowing with green light appearing on the display stand.

"A card?"

Yu Yuan quickened his pace and picked up the card.

[Consume 2500 survival points to purchase this intelligence item?]

2500 survival points—Yu Yuan's eyes lit up.

[Yes]

As the survival points were deducted, information about the card in his hand appeared.

[Intelligence Card—Inside Information]

Quality: Bronze-level

Function: Using this card will grant you inside information related to a designated event.

The card then disappeared and appeared in the card slot of the Book of Fate.

Looking at this green-glowing card, Yu Yuan took a deep breath.

"Bronze-level Inside Information Card! Perfect timing!"

Yu Yuan was quite clear about the effects of the Inside Information Card, and he understood that this card's value couldn't be compared to mere 2500 survival points.

Closing the Virtual Light Screen, Yu Yuan looked at the two newspapers refreshed today.
