Li Wei shifted his focus back to the spoils of war.
These boxes in the storage room, at a rough glance, were filled mostly with white crystals, with a small number of blue crystals. Of course, these were not paper money, but genuine energy crystals, a mineral that had become the most important source of energy in this era, even to the extent that currency was pegged to it.
Inside the storage room, there were five stacks of boxes. Each box probably contained around ten thousand crystals.
At a rough estimation, the total value of these items should be around fifty thousand white crystals, equivalent to five hundred blue crystals, or five purple crystals.
This was already considered a relatively substantial sum of money. Li Wei looked for a rope, tied them together tightly, and then tugged at the bundle, only to find that it wouldn't budge.
Feeling depressed, Li Wei had no choice but to painfully throw away several boxes filled with white crystals, leaving only three boxes. This roughly left about thirty-five thousand.
"Wait a minute!" After silently observing Yasha for a while, he suddenly spoke.
"What for?"
"I can help you take all the money away, but you must do me a favor. Aren't you a bounty hunter? This is a mission I'm posting. Look, you can only take away about thirty thousand yuan's worth of items, but with my help, you will have an additional income of twenty thousand yuan. As you said, the police might come at any time, and you might not have a chance to come back for this money. Consider this as a commission."
Li Wei finally began to take this girl seriously.
He pondered for a moment and realized that he indeed found it very difficult to immediately come up with any good solutions to minimize the losses. At the same time, he couldn't think of any methods that this young girl could employ to solve the issue. However, if she could manage to pull it off and the task she required of him was not too outrageous, and was roughly equivalent in value to the commission of ten to twenty thousand, then Li Wei wouldn't mind taking on such a job.
Anyway, he is a bounty hunter.
Yasha said, "Can you take me to Wahu Town?"
"Impossible." Li Wei outright rejected Yasha's request.
Wahu Town is a satellite city outside the city of Westrum. Once you leave the gates of Westrum and travel sixty kilometers, you would arrive there.
However, sixty kilometers, which is just a one or two-hour drive during peacetime, has become an undeniable path of death in this era.
Nestled against a high wall, Westrum City is considered a safe haven in this post-apocalyptic era. However, outside the city, there are far too many demonic creatures. In addition, deadly radiation, spreading unknown bacteria, and viruses are also extremely lethal.
A couple of amethysts and they want Li Wei to risk his life and leave the city? He's not about to do that.
Yasha's gaze dimmed for a moment, but she quickly picked herself up again. She said, "Well, you can take me to the nearest underground branch as well."
Now, the requirements have been significantly lowered.
Li Wei thought about it, and it seemed that Erin's place could also be considered a branch of the underground.
Overall, he was going there to hand in missions, and there was nothing wrong with taking a little girl along the way.
He nodded and agreed to the girl's request.
Yasha walked up to the pile of boxes that Levi had tied up and stretched out her hands, closing her eyes as she stroked them for a moment.
Levi thought he saw the light and shadow on those boxes distort for just an instant, so brief that he couldn't even be sure if he was hallucinating or not.
The girl let go and, looking a bit weary, said, "All done."
"All done?" Levi skeptically picked up the rope and dragged it, only to be astonished to find that the combined boxes were much lighter by several times! He could now easily move these things!
Is this an ability of Essential Potentiality after unlocking the genetic lock?
No, absolutely not. It's an ability, but it can't be a genuine Essential Potentiality. If this girl is a master of essentials, she could defeat a hundred vampires all by herself without any problem, so how could she need to be rescued by Levi?
It seems that in this world, there are still many things that are hard to understand. According to common sense, humans can only manifest supernatural powers when they activate the genetic lock and delve deeper into its chains. This is known as elemental power.
And this young girl, in every way, is just an ordinary person. It is also impossible for her to have powers like Li Wei, who possesses the Book of All Laws, such as reducing the weight of objects, which already belongs to the realm of the supernatural?
Yasha explained, "This is innate ability, a natural talent."
Seeing that Li Wei still looked puzzled, she did not intend to explain further and urged, "I have already paid the reward, let's hurry up and leave."
...
After leaving Zhang Xi's residence, Li Wei first dragged five boxes back home and put the things away, then immediately brought Yasha to the "Wilderness Delicacy" tavern.
Before they even entered, a burst of noise came out, forming a sharp contrast to the tranquility there had been during Li Wei's previous visits.
Yasha looked at Li Wei with doubt.
Li Wei said with a hint of embarrassment: "The Lower District's 17th district's Hunter's Guild branch is located in this tavern."
Yasha didn't speak further. She had seen many Hunter's Guild branches in Westbum City, especially in the Upper District, and which one wasn't built splendidly and grandly? She had never seen a branch housed in a small tavern like this one.
Following behind Li Wei, they entered the tavern. A scent of sweat and alcohol filled the air, overwhelming their noses. Yasha wrinkled her nose, clearly not accustomed to this smell.
She was even less comfortable with the gazes from the bounty hunters one by one.
Inside the tavern, many people were seated. When the door of the tavern was opened, the attention of many people was drawn, particularly after a young girl, quite rare in "Savage Delicious," appeared here, piquing the interest of many.
Compared to the gangsters, bounty hunters may not have a much better average quality. In fact, the bounty hunters, who are accustomed to freedom, might be worse than gangsters in some aspects.
Those unrestrained, lewd glances made Yasha feel disgusted.
She felt deep malice, especially from a bald, middle-aged, fat man whose drool was flowing between the gaps of his dirty, yellow-stained teeth.
Yasha felt somewhat scared. Even when kidnapped by vampires, she has never been this scared. Although she is not yet 14 years old this year, she still knows very well what these people's gazes represent - how disgusting it is.
A figure blocked the way between her and those people.
"Old bald dog, drink your wine properly. If you dare to look around again, I believe I'll gouge out your eyes."
Li Wei's indifferent voice rang out.
