Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi..

Chapter 59: Chapter 59 A Private Task (1)

“I used a grenade gun; the moment I saw a Bloodthirsty Vine wrap around someone, I’d shoot, and with one shot, I’d break off a section of the vine, never missing. How come my scores with a handgun are like this?”

“Damn, your talent is kinda interesting.”

“Have you seen it before?”

“I’ve seen it. Handgun scores on stationary targets aren’t impressive, but once you switch to moving targets, you’re amazing. It’s a kind of vision talent. You might belong to this type.”

“Can I switch to moving targets?”

“First, get your handgun stationary target scores up. Once you’ve racked up enough points, you can switch to moving targets.”

...

“Alright, coach, watch me.”

Ye Nai suddenly felt energized. She changed to a new target paper, loaded her magazine, aimed her gun, and fired.

A week passed, and a new session of the emergency medical course began. Classes were held every day for half the day, and if there was something not understood and one wished to review, it was possible to sit in on other classes until the material was understood and the certificate was earned.

Under such lenient conditions, the tuition was a bit higher, and each session had relatively fewer new students, allowing for small-class teaching, where the teacher could pay attention to everyone from theory to hands-on practice.

Of course, the total course duration was longer, five days per week. If one attended seriously, it could take half a year, but everyone who came to class, including Ye Nai, knew well that if they could get certified in more than half a year but within a year, it would be considered a smooth learning process.

On the first day of class, two textbooks were handed out, and there was homework to do after class. Ye Nai, who had just received her high school diploma on July 1st, suddenly felt like she was back in the classroom, her attitude towards studying extremely correct, and she bought a big pile of items mentioned in the textbooks online.

Since her Space could hold it, she’d rather buy things and keep them even if it meant wasting money than not have them when needed.

This time, in addition to medical supplies, she also bought civilian nuclear batteries for use with electric scooters. They were a uniform model and could be used even when she got a license and bought an electric motorcycle later on.

An electric motorcycle capable of off-roading in the Secret Realm started at over thirty thousand yuan for a basic model, and the battery was as expensive as the bike itself.

There were even pricier ones, used for electric cars. The teams in the neighborhood that drove off-road vehicles all used this kind of battery.

Buying an electric car was also in her plans, but since getting a motorcycle license was easier, Ye Nai naturally started with the easiest option.

The thought of buying nuclear batteries was inspired by those delivery runners. Although a battery was expensive, it could be used for several years. When the vehicle got old, but the battery was still fine, one could just get a new frame and attach the battery to keep it running.

Selling the frame and battery separately was the current sales approach.

The small electric scooter Ye Nai was currently riding used a rechargeable battery, which cost just over one thousand yuan. At that time, she only thought about commuting in this dangerous area, and charging every two days didn’t matter. Now her thinking had changed.

Most importantly, she wasn’t short on money anymore. They were just everyday household items. Couldn’t she afford them?

Money is the courage of humans, regardless of gender.

Of course, for ordinary people with a monthly income of thousands of yuan, rechargeable batteries were the real everyday items.

After three lessons of the emergency medical course, the Awakener software listed a new mission: on the 6th, the dangerous area hired her to deliver supplies to the Secret Realm.

The team size was the same as the last time in the 7th danger zone; five vehicles and fifty-one people in total, including her. The round trip took a total of ten days, and they returned smoothly without any incidents.

This time they took a new route. Since she did not feel any traces of fungus, Ye Nai took the opportunity to sprinkle spores out through the vehicle’s ventilation grille.

She was very confident about her idea of letting her fungus cover the entire Secret Realm. No matter how large the Secret Realm, there had to be a boundary. Given a few years, she could have the fungus spread throughout the entire realm. At that time, without any effort, she’d become the secret ruler of East Ridge City’s Secret Realm. Hehehe.

First thing when she got back was to pick up her deliveries; the items she ordered online had just hit the road when she departed for the mission. Fortunately, the express delivery collection point in her community could store them for a fee per day.

“”

After a day of rest, taking care of household chores, and organizing her things, especially trying out the new battery, Ye Nai’s ride was perfect. She was still speed limited, and despite buying such a high-end battery, it didn’t enable her electric bike to perform like a motorcycle.

The next day she continued with her classes.

Just two days later, Ye Nai received another employment message. A private battle team in Hazard Zone 7 wanted to hire her for ten days at a rate of fifty yuan a day to retrieve something from the Secret Realm.

1000*50*10=500,000, the payment looked quite good.

Ye Nai declined immediately.

Her employment conditions were clearly stated: limited strength, only official business accepted.

But the party wanting to hire her was evidently very patient, repeatedly sending employment requests, and a private message, stating they were willing to pay in full first, according to Secret Realm Laborer rules, just pleading for her to agree to this one trip.

Seeing the new message, Ye Nai immediately searched the key term online and quickly understood what it meant.

Secret Realm Laborers, often composed of low-tier Awakeners and Ordinary people, would follow a battle team into the Secret Realm. They’d sell their labor to the team for a daily wage of one thousand yuan, getting paid first before doing the work, and only accepting full payment.

Given the dangers of the Secret Realm, this payment was essentially life insurance for the laborers, because if danger arose, even the battle team might not be able to protect themselves, let alone the lower ranks of laborers.

Ye Nai suddenly became interested—what mission could make this private battle team so willing to pay in full to have her run the trip.

After pondering briefly, Ye Nai accepted the task, and within a few minutes, the full payment was in her account.

But the time given to her was urgent, they were setting off tomorrow.

Ye Nai arranged to meet them at the entrance to Hazard Zone 5.

When they met, the other party had brought two armored off-road vehicles, and Ye Nai boarded the second one.

Inside the vehicle, the four men were fully armed, wearing sunglasses with sturdy arms, exuding a strong presence. The empty-handed Ye Nai looked like a chick whose neck could be easily twisted off in comparison to them.

She sat in the middle of the back seat, and no one spoke during the journey into the Secret Realm.

After driving past Town 2 and following the road all day, passing through two small towns that were relatively close and bustling with people, they arrived in the wilderness to camp for the night.

When getting off the vehicle, Ye Nai had just moved to the door when someone yanked her down, nearly making her stumble.

“Ouch!”

“Hahahaha!”

Laughter surrounded her, triggering Ye Nai’s instinctual response.

Being the eldest of four children in the family, she grew up doing chores and taking care of her siblings. She had long developed a survival technique, with a keen intuition for others’ emotions.

She instantly detected malice in these men’s laughter.

It seemed there was something wrong with this task.

Well then, she had no intention of spitting out that payment of fifty thousand yuan.

Unperturbed, she steadied herself and observed the people present. Aside from her, there were a total of nine men, meaning both vehicles were full.

With a flick of her fingers, she scattered a large amount of spores, which the wind carried into the bodies of these nine men. The spores grew and multiplied in their respiratory tracts and lungs, bringing all nine to their knees within seconds.
