Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1147 Divide the Meat
Lu Tianxue's scheme ultimately failed because the three not-so-shrewd people, Liu, Dai, and Cheng, finally showed their shrewdness.

The cause was Dai Yuxuan.

Looking at the seven mustard seed bags of purified beast meat piled together, Dai Yuxuan suddenly had an idea. He cautiously looked at Shi Jia, "Shi Jia, I, could I...?"

"What?" Shi Jia was drawing design drafts again. Since the Qinglan team's training camp had ended, he could finally relax.

"Could I bring some purified beast meat for my family?" Dai Yuxuan blushed and quickly added, "I'll pay for it; I'll pay whatever it costs outside!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia smiled and said, "Of course, there is no problem at all."

"Thank you." Dai Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Tianxue had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next second everyone else chimed in, "I want to buy one too! I want to buy one too!"

"No, no!" Lu Tianxue said anxiously.

Everyone looked over, puzzled. "Captain, why?"

"Ah? This... if you buy it, you won't make any money." Lu Tianxue said anxiously, then nodded vigorously. That's right.

“No, we’ll buy at market price.” They looked at Shi Jia, “Junior, we won’t let you suffer a loss.”

Shi Jia glanced at Lu Tianxue, somewhat puzzled, but nodded, "It's okay, I can give you a 20% discount."

After all, they were teammates.

The group exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with delight. "Thank you, junior!"

"My family has five members, and I'm buying 200 jin (100 kg)."

"I'll buy more, a thousand catties, I guess." Liu Zhan counted on his fingers.

"Why are you buying so much? We're coming to the Black Zone again in a few days," Huang Qi asked, puzzled.

“Not many. I was thinking of giving some to my uncle and aunt’s families. Besides, judging from the size of the beasts we hunt, a cow weighs three thousand catties. But I think I’ll take three of the bigger beasts, one for each family.” Liu Zhan quickly changed his mind. “Anyway, we have a refrigerator, so we’re not worried about them spoiling.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Qi immediately felt that his request of two hundred catties was too stingy, and quickly said, "I want two sheep, one cow, and one pig. I also want ten rabbits."

Others echoed.

Lu Tianxue, who had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Huang Qi only wanted 200 jin of meat, widened her eyes.

"Sister Xue, how much do you want?" Cheng Zi asked Tian Xue enthusiastically.

Lu Tianxue's face stiffened. "I'll take the rest." She had to act quickly!

"Huh? Captain, what do you need so much purified beast meat for? Can your family finish it all?" Chen Yinong, who was driving, asked in confusion.

“I can eat it, I have a lot of family!” Lu Tianxue said.

"Wait, Captain, I just called home. My dad said he needs another 20 cows, 30 sheep, and 30 pigs," Liu Zhan said quickly.

Lu Tianxue secretly thought how close she had come to disaster, "No, I've already taken them all this time. If you want them, you'll have to wait until next time!"

Liu Zhan felt like he'd been struck by lightning. "Boss, you can't do this! If we don't buy it, my dad will beat me to death."

Lu Tianxue completely ignored him. The quantity he wanted was almost half of all the prey. If she gave it to him, how could she gain merit in the family?

Liu Zhan looked at Shi Jia, "Junior, don't give all the prey to Sister Xue. How about this, I don't want a discount. You give me half of the prey."

“I don’t need a discount,” Lu Tianxue said immediately.

Liu Zhan glared at her.

Shi Jia said helplessly, "Ahem, you guys can decide how to distribute the purified meat yourselves. I don't care. I'm only in charge of collecting the money."

Lu Tianxue smiled, while Liu Zhan glared at him.

"Cough cough, Zhan, just say you didn't get it, your dad definitely won't hit you," Lu Tianxue suggested.

Liu Zhan was powerless to struggle; he was simply no match for Lu Tianxue. He looked at Shi Jia, "Junior, then at least half of the prey from the next hunt will be sold to me!"

"No way!" Huang Qi, Chen Yinong, and Cheng Zi immediately objected.

"Why? It's not like I don't spend money!" Liu Zhan had a bad feeling.

"We want prey too." The group argued amongst themselves, their gazes finally settling on Shi Jia.

Shi Jia, who was drawing a design draft, rolled her eyes. "I'm not getting involved."

Dai Yuxuan suddenly said, "How about this, whoever hunts the prey next time gets to keep it? Of course, Shi Jia can't be left out."

“Okay!” Lu Tianxue immediately agreed. With her damage output, she could kill the most turbid beasts each time she hunted them. Although she hadn’t calculated it, she thought confidently.

"No way!" Cheng Zi and Liu Zhan stared wide-eyed. Their attacks were average, so their prey was naturally not as good as those of the Spirit Martial Masters.

"How about we vote?"

Cheng Zi and Liu Zhan were completely defeated.

"Huang Qi, how could you agree to this too?!" Huang Qi is also a spirit painter!

"There's nothing I can do; I'm just a nobody." Huang Qi said, feigning nonchalance.

In the end, only Cheng Zi and Liu Zhan were fuming.

Shi Jia, who had been silently observing, chuckled and said, "Here, Orange, what do you think of this design? If there are no problems, I'll start calculating the placement of the array."

Cheng Zi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Oh right, and the whip! Junior Brother Shi Jia, could you draw me a powerful attack formation?" Hehe, let's see if they dare to bully me then!

"Um, I'll try my best to arrange it."

"That's great, thank you, junior."

"Junior Shi Jia, I remember Chengzi already paid me the customization fee, right? Doesn't she need to pay more for these last-minute conditions?" Huang Qi said with ill intent.

Shi Jia was speechless, not expecting that the flames of war would still spread to him. "Fortunately, the formation has not yet been designed, so changing the requirements at this time will not have a big impact."

"If I've already designed it and they want to change the plan, I'll refuse."

"Oh, is that so? Junior is really easy to talk to," Huang Qi said regretfully.

Cheng Zi glared at him, "Huang Qi is no ordinary person! Once I get the whip, you'll see if you dare to challenge me!"

"There's no time like the present, let's duel today. If you lose, you can give me all the purified meat you bought, how about that?" Huang Qi said with great interest.

"Dream on!" Orange huffed. This person was absolutely wicked!

Amidst laughter and banter, the group arrived at the security gate. It wasn't in Zone 8, but in Zone 1, because the airport was located in Zone 1, and they had taken a vehicle directly into the Black Zone after disembarking.

"Please enter the testing room to test for polluted air!"

"The turbidity level is zero, you can proceed!"

"Please open the mustard seed bag for testing!"

"The turbidity level is zero, you can proceed!"

"Huh? This is the meat of a turbid beast?" The guard in charge of the inspection was somewhat surprised, as these turbid beasts did not have any turbid energy at all!
"Do you have a Spirit Cleanser?" the guard asked. Not every team is equipped with a Spirit Cleanser, but teams with Spirit Cleansers are definitely top-tier. They're either blue-rank or purple-rank or higher, making them the top teams from various academies.

"Yes." Lu Tianxue nodded.

"Great!" the guards cheered.

Lu Tianxue frowned. "Excuse me, we've passed. Can we leave now?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my rudeness," the guard quickly said. "You may leave now, but... but, could you please have a purifier help purify someone?"

He adopted a very humble posture, as if he were pleading.

Lu Tianxue frowned, considering what excuse to use to refuse, but then she looked at Shi Jia. "Junior, what do you think?"

"Is it because the people in the quarantine area are breathing in foul air?"

"No, no, there is no isolation zone at Gate 1. It's our captain," the guard said. "A week ago, a small tide of turbid beasts broke out. Our captain took on the attack of a blue-rank turbid beast all by himself to save us."

The guard's eyes reddened.

“Okay, I agree. Where is he?” Shi Jia asked.

"What? You agreed? No conditions? Ah, no, we'll pay you." The guard was at a loss.
