"Material collector?" Sha Lian smiled noncommittally, "Peripheral staff. Do you think I have nothing to do here, specializing in collecting the blood of various sea beasts and buying those potions?"
Shu Xingbei suddenly understood, "It turns out that Uncle Sha is also a peripheral member."
Sha Lian nodded, "Peripheral personnel do not enjoy any treatment as formal members. Where possible, the organization can give priority to providing help. That's all."
Priority in providing help means giving priority when help can be provided.
"It's cruel, isn't it?" Sha Lian asked.
Shu Xingbei didn't say a word, he pursed his lips tightly.
"The more cruel it is, the more reasonable it is. Only capable people can work together to save themselves, and only then can they help others. There are too many people in the houseboat area who need help. Is it possible to save them all?" Sha Lian asked.
Shu Xingbei suddenly felt that all the confusion in front of him was suddenly solved. Yes, you must first have the ability to save yourself before you can save others.
He has never been able to protect himself, so how can he save Nie Lan?
"Here's the sign for you, please keep it in mind," Sha Lian threw the sign over again.
"Uncle Sha, let's try again," Shu Xingbei's blood suddenly surged.
Sha Lian looked at Shu Xingbei playfully, then squatted beside the bed and raised his arms.
"One, two, three, start," Shu Xingbei exerted his strength and pressed Sha Lian's arm heavily on the edge of the bed.
Sha Lian was so shocked that he immediately stood up and said, "You kid, you can do it."
Sha Lian's unusual excitement did not affect Shu Xingbei. He didn't feel excited at all.
The reason why he was arm wrestling with Sha Lian just now was because he just wanted Sha Lian to know that Sha Lian's accumulation and attempts over the years were not useless at all.
At least those mixed potions showed their effects on Shu Xingbei.
Please comfort Sha Lian.
"Tell me, how did you do it?" Sha Lian urged.
"I saw the way you exerted force, and then I concentrated my efforts in that way," Shu Xingbei explained.
"Imitation?" Sha Lian was disappointed again. Imitation is not an ability and does not need to be stimulated at all.
Seeing birds flying in the sky, humans also want to get wings; seeing non-powerful animals building nests and living in them, humans also build houses, and even learn how to burrow like a rabbit. There are countless similar imitations, and how can they be considered as awakening of abilities?
Shu Xingbei was just like him, an ordinary person. Sha Lian couldn't say whether he was helpless or annoyed. He was only a peripheral member of the Illuminati. Even if he was a core member, he couldn't recommend Shu Xingbei to join the group.
Shu Xingbei did not tell Sha Lian that he could actually see clearly the synergy of Sha Lian's bones and strength when he exerted force, and he was not imitating, but copying.
Very good copying ability. If you see what others can do, you can follow it yourself.
Isn’t this ability awesome? As for what this ability is called and what type it belongs to, Shu Xingbei doesn’t care.
No matter what ability you have, if it can enhance your strength and save your life at critical moments, it is an incredible ability.
Since Sha Lian thinks he is just imitating, then forget it.
Ability is for survival, not for showing off.
Just when Sha Lian was dejected and disheartened, Shu Xingbei left.
After Sha Lian left Shuxingbei, he remembered that he had not brought him some food. He was always slow in doing things.
It was late at night when Shu Xingbei returned to his houseboat. In the darkness, he stood

Outside the cabin door, someone suddenly stopped.
There was someone in the room. The sound of slight breathing could not escape Shu Xingbei's ears.
He listened for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on his face. Then, he opened the door and walked in. He touched the headlamp on the bedside cabinet and turned it on. One body tightened under the quilt on the bed, and then another
The head was exposed.
"Brother Shu, you, are you still alive?" The boy lying on the bed is a child from the next door family, named Tong Ziyun.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right away," Tong Ziyun Yigulu climbed out of bed and started to get dressed.
"Forget it, if you don't mind the crowd, you can sleep here at night," Shu Xingyun shook his head.
"Then, I'll stay here," Tong Ziyun blinked.
The child didn't laugh. Shu Xingbei didn't laugh either. No one in the boathouse area ever laughed.
"Your parents said I was dead?" Shu Xingbei asked. He also took off his clothes and got under the quilt.
The thin cotton wool was pulled open, barely able to cover Shu Xingyun's body. After all, there was one more person.
"You have been comatose for three days, and when you woke up, you were asked to go hunting for animals. My parents said that you will never come back. The rental period of the houseboat has not expired, so why not come and stay for a few days," Tong Ziyun hurriedly said.
explain.
He then swore again, "I didn't touch anything in the house. I didn't touch anything. My parents didn't let me touch it. I don't want to move either. I feel that you are still alive. Good people will live a long, long life."
Shu Xingbei's heart softened, but he said: "Stop talking. Go to sleep."
The reason why he didn't have an attack was because the water and food in the house had not been touched. Tong Ziyun's parents, including Tong Ziyun, still had a bottom line.
At least they know that they will only take their belongings after confirming their death.
Shu Xingbei got up very late the next day. Tong Ziyun didn't sleep well at night and ran away at dawn. Not long after, Tong's father came over and apologized to Shu Xingbei.
Shu Xingbei waved his hand, but he didn't take it to heart.
"You have to be careful about that bald man named Manzi. Someone saw him and two other people coming back in a mess last night," the boy's father reminded.
The other three people in the trapping team were not dead? Shu Xingbei was stunned. Thinking about it, the orca later ran to him, and it was normal for those three guys to save their lives.
"Thank you. If nothing happens, let Tong Ziyun come over to play," Shu Xingbei said politely.
"Okay, okay. Ziyun has always admired you, saying that you are so powerful that you can support yourself at the age of fifteen," the boy's father said, and left knowingly.
Shu Xingbei felt the cruelty of this world more and more. If he had really died yesterday, no one would be sad, and there would be no shortage of people who would immediately think of taking his things.
Shu Xingbei thought about his future path very thoroughly. He settled his life first and tried to find out where the slaves from Spear Company were sent and what they were doing.
It would be great if the items salvaged from the ruins could be exchanged.
Since people can be sold, they can also be repurchased.
Shu Xingbei thought about it, packed up, inserted the knife into his trouser leg, and went straight to the mission office of Spear Company.
There were as many bounty hunters in the room as ever. There were more than 30 people waiting to receive the mission, including a dozen familiar faces.
Seeing Shu Xingbei, not only the bounty hunter was stunned, but also the female deputy manager who handed out the tasks was stunned. She pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at Shu Xingbei twice.
one
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The guy who was injured by the sea beast can get up now and come out to take on the mission?
The surprise was short-lived, and there was actually no pause in between.
The tasks were sent out one by one, and Shu Xingbei watched quietly. He did not speak from the beginning to the end.
The ruins that Nie Lan went to are not included in today's mission.
The bounty hunters in the houseboat accepted the mission to collect the tools. After they left one by one, Shu Xingbei and the female deputy manager were the only ones left in the house.
"Aren't you here to take over the task?" the female deputy manager asked, "What's the matter?"
"Can the slave be bought back?" Shu Xingbei looked at the female deputy manager.
"Oh, you mean that woman?" Nie Lan sold himself out to find a doctor for Shu Xingbei, which was handled by the female deputy manager herself.
When she heard Shu Xingbei's question, she immediately thought of Nie Lan.
Shu Xingbei said nothing, waiting for the female deputy manager to say more.
The female deputy manager sat there and knocked on the table with the pen in her hand in embarrassment, "It is indeed possible to redeem them. But I may not be able to find out their whereabouts. Slaves whose whereabouts cannot be redeemed cannot be redeemed.
Unless otherwise agreed in advance."
I was so desperate that I sold myself, and I agreed to redeem it in advance. This is something that only a crazy person can think of.
"Just now, I said just now, if you can find out the whereabouts, what price will it cost to redeem it?" Shu Xingbei was silent for a moment and then asked.
The female assistant manager stopped knocking on the table and instead played with the pen in her hand, turning it upside down and upside down. "It also depends on the situation."
Shu Xingbei's eyes were filled with coldness.
"You know, whether you are buying or selling, there is a valuation process. For example, when the woman who helped you sold herself, she was valued by the company. If she wants to redeem it later, she still has to go through a valuation process," the woman said
The deputy manager explained patiently.
"The redemption price is higher than the original price, right?" Shu Xingbei asked word for word. The anger accumulated deep in his heart made him want to rush to the headquarters of Spear Company immediately.
What kind of company is this that can be so shameless?
"Yes, it can be understood that way. After all, when they join the company, the company has to spend manpower and material resources to train them. After redemption, the company's initial training investment will be in vain," the female deputy manager maintained the company's image and worked hard.
Let what you say bring glory to the company.
By being able to answer so many questions, she gave Shu Xingbei some face.
A poor boy wants to redeem his slaves, what should he use to redeem them?
Just as the female deputy manager secretly sneered, Shu Xingbei spoke, "I want to redeem someone. Her name is Nie Lan. She was sold into slavery a few days ago. Can you find out the specific time?"
Shu Xingbei was in a coma. He really didn't know when Nie Lan sold her to him.
The female deputy manager checked the record sheet and told Shu Xingbei, "The woman named Nie Lan signed the agreement on December 17th."
"Okay," Shu Xingbei cherished the words like gold.
"I have to apply for her whereabouts and get it sent back from above. As for the ransom price, I still have to wait for instructions from above." "How many days will it take for the result to be announced?" Shu Xingbei asked.
"Five days at the fastest. If their exact whereabouts are given above. Note that if there is a whereabouts, if the whereabouts can be given, it usually means that they can be redeemed. If there is no whereabouts, it is confidential and cannot be redeemed.
," the female deputy manager leaned on the chair and crossed her legs.
