Chapter 1418: Eight Digits in Savings!

"Alright, these four complete Yi Stones and six Use Yishi granules are mine; these two complete Yi Stones and four Use Yishi granules belong to the Queen and Handsome Wolf."

After distributing the highest-value supplies first, Xia Qing began dividing the remaining supplies. "Queen, Handsome Wolf, is there anything on this list you want? You pick first, then I'll pick."

Broken-Waist Wolf, who was unhappy about getting fewer Yi Stones, immediately pressed its big paw precisely on the "Medical Equipment" section of the list.

"These medical devices have already been taken to the human base, so we can't get them back, so these supplies can only be exchanged for points. Otherwise, it would expose that we killed that group, bringing danger to our territory." Xia Qing had long known Broken-Waist Wolf would choose this, and after explaining the reason, she comforted it. "Broken-Waist, the equipment in the cave was used by bad people, and it has the bad people's aura on it. If you need any of this equipment for your research, we'll use points to buy new ones, without the bad humans' aura. What do you think?"

Lost in thought, Broken-Waist Wolf grinned, revealing its little fang tips, indicating agreement.

The Head Wolf wasn't interested in human supplies, and Broken-Waist Wolf didn't want anything else either, so Xia Qing continued the distribution. "Alright, the Queen and Broken-Waist don't want anything else, so these 6 guns, 320 bullets, 9 knives, and 2 crossbows are mine. The points for these supplies are 231,200 points. The remaining potions, protective suits, etc., we'll take them to exchange for points…"

One person and two wolves gathered around the table and quickly calculated the result. "Excluding the Yi Stones, the total value of the supplies is 860,000 points, forty percent is 344,000 points. The Yi Stones I took extra are worth 120,000 points, so Handsome Wolf gets a total of 464,000 points. Handsome Wolf, do you see any problem?"

Why not show it to the Queen? These details don't need to trouble the Queen; she's already lying on the hammock chair nearby, continuing to watch the video Xia Qing recorded during her mission.

Broken-Waist Wolf used its big paw to pull the list in front of itself, took out a stylus pen and slipped it on its left paw, opened the calculator on its phone, recalculated, and only after confirming there was no problem did it raise its furry head and show its little fang tips to Xia Qing.

"Alright, no problem. Broken-Waist, look!" Xia Qing pulled a pink points card from her pocket. "This is the latest model points card. Isn't it pretty?"

The Head Wolf turned its rich-gold eyes, glanced once, and continued watching the video; Broken-Waist Wolf's expression was completely lit up by this pretty points card, and it immediately used its paw to pull Xia Qing's arm, urging her to give it the card quickly.

"Okay, I can give this points card to Handsome Wolf, but there's one condition." Xia Qing proposed a condition. "Handsome Wolf has to help me retrieve the Use Yishi necklaces worn around the necks of Blind-Eye Tiger, the Western Wolf King, and the Western Wolf Pack's Black Giant Wolf and Gray Giant Wolf."

After the Calamity Snow disaster ended, the Calamity element content in the atmosphere gradually decreased, and has now returned to normal levels, so the Use Yishi necklaces no longer need to be worn.

Xia Qing still has many things to do and no time to retrieve the necklaces. Besides, even if she had time, Xia Qing wouldn't go. Because she doesn't want to be robbed by Blind-Eye Tiger or howled at by the Western Wolf King.

Rent for the Use Yishi necklaces? No rush. Next spring when the flowers bloom and the grass grows, Xia Qing will go collect them in person.

After Broken-Waist Wolf grinned to indicate no problem, Xia Qing took out the card reader and transferred 464,000 points to Broken-Waist Wolf.

While Broken-Waist Wolf lay on the sofa staring at the points card with an obsessed expression, Xia Qing took the Yi Stones she had just divided upstairs, then took out her Use Yishi box and points card wallet, and beep-beep-beep calculated her own assets.

After recording the 150,000 points she earned from hunting three high-level speed-evolved fierce beasts during this Calamity Snow period, and the 164,800 points she shared with Broken-Waist Wolf from the mission, into the account book, her total points reached eight digits: 10.07 million.

Having lived in the territory for two years, she had not only saved over four hundred Yi Stones, but also accumulated a fortune of over ten million!

After recording today's points income in the thick account book, Xia Qing also recorded the Yi Stones she had obtained. Looking at the Yi Stones one by one and the points cards one by one, the joy and satisfaction in Xia Qing's heart were beyond words.

But after being happy for a while, she couldn't be happy anymore. Because she would soon have three large expenditures, and her points would quickly drop from eight digits to seven or even six digits.

The first is her idol's research funding. Her idol said he needs to purchase a batch of research equipment and potions this month. The R&D fees from the pharmaceutical factory have already been received by Xia Qing, but there's still a shortfall of over five million, which Xia Qing needs to make up.

The second is that she wants to build a house with a safety level one grade higher than Seeing Xin Yu's house, and with a larger area. Seeing Xin Yu's house was built two years ago, and now better building materials have been developed. Xia Qing wants to build a two-story small building, not only to meet her living needs, but also those of the sheep, wolves, monkeys, and squirrels. Seeing Xin Yu's lowest quote for building the house—1.23 million points!

The third is the helicopter inspection fee. Her helicopter's total flight hours have exceeded 300 hours, and it has just gone through a Calamity Burst. Before the end of the year, it must be sent to the safe zone, where a professional maintenance engineer holding a license for this aircraft model will conduct a scheduled inspection on the helicopter. If she can't get the inspection certificate, this helicopter will not only lose its safe zone access qualification, but flight safety also cannot be guaranteed.

Even if the helicopter's condition is good and no high-value parts need to be replaced, the cost of just basic inspections and maintenance such as in-depth inspection, system testing, and necessary lubrication, is 150,000 points.

These three sums of points, no matter how much it hurts, must be spent. But if she can avoid dipping into her own little treasury, it's better not to.

The first two items Xia Qing must pay for herself; the last one she can find someone to pay for her.

Xia Qing glanced at the time, found it wasn't too late yet, and decided to remind Yang Jin, lest he miss this expense.

In the brightly lit conference room of the Hui-3 Safe Zone administrative building, Deputy Base Commander Li Xuegang, who was seriously listening to the report, saw the phone next to him light up, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.

Yang Jin picked up his phone and admired for a second the photo of him and Xia Qing eating hot pot, then opened the message and found it was Xia Qing looking for him, and his expression softened even more.

When he signaled to Li Xuegang that he needed to step out to make a call, Li Xuegang couldn't help but want to lift his leg and kick him out.

Leaving the conference room and walking to the end of the corridor, Yang Jin looked at the rows of neat street lamps outside the window, and dialed Xia Qing's number.

After the call connected, Yang Jin spoke first. "I've finished my report, Captain An is reporting now. Get some rest early, the snow by the greenhouse can wait until I get back tomorrow to clear."

Yang Jin's tone inexplicably resembled the cheeky wolf downstairs that deserved a beating. Xia Qing got goosebumps all over hearing it, and before she could speak, she heard from the background noise the sound of someone falling hard and documents scattering all over the floor.

It seemed she wasn't the only one startled by Yang Jin's loud voice.

The background noise and Yang Jin's words gave Xia Qing enough information to know where Yang Jin was and what he was doing, and also to understand why Yang Jin had called her.

Steadying herself, Xia Qing also used as gentle a voice as possible to repeat the content of the message she had just sent. "Okay… Jin-ge, I've been too busy these past two days and just remembered something I forgot to tell you. On the day we executed the mission, when I was returning to the safe zone with five tons of supplies, I heard some strange noises from that helicopter during flight."

Yang Jin, who was quietly gazing at the myriad lights through the window, his expression shifted from gentle to serious. "Mm. Er Yong reported to me after returning. Preliminary inspection confirmed that helicopter was severely damaged in the Calamity Burst and needs a thorough inspection. I've already written this into the mission report."

A thorough inspection? Looks like she won't have to pay this portion of points herself. Yang Jin is really reliable!

Xia Qing felt pleased and her voice was gentle. "Okay. I don't have anything else. Jin-ge, continue with the meeting, and get back to rest early after it ends."
