Chapter 303: Tang Susu the Benchmark (Part 1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as the old man left, some of the normal people started discussing among themselves. After the novelty passed, they felt it wasn’t worth it.

“We can just find some place to stay. There’s no lack of a place to stay in such a big city, right?”

“Twenty crystal cores… Although there are zombies everywhere, we might not kill two every day just by ourselves. It would take us ten days to earn 20 crystal cores!”

However, they only dared to say these words in secret. After all, Tang Susu was the one who paid, not them.

As they traveled together with the Tang family, they could already see that to them, a T2 crystal core was like 50 cents during the pre-apocalypse. It was only slightly better than 10 cents.

Only a T3 crystal core could make them become interested.

Some people joked that a T3 crystal core was probably only worth ten or twenty yuan in the eyes of the Tang family.

Perhaps only a T4 crystal core would be like a hundred-yuan bill to them.

Duan Hongyu overheard their discussion and immediately ran over to Tang Susu and explained, “1 was the one who started that topic. While staying in such a hotel might seem meaningless, there is still value to it.”

Tang Susu was interested.

“I didn’t have time to ask much. I’ll ask again tomorrow and I’ll probably get some more information.”

The reason many people would spend crystal cores or resources to stay in such a hotel was because of this additional value.

People from the South and North passed by and often exchanged information.

In order to attract guests, the hotel staff would consciously inquire, collect, and share with the other guests.

Otherwise, how could they get more information in this world without electricity and communication? It still had to be passed on by word of mouth.

Over time, this became a convention. As for the genuineness of the information, there was basically no problem. After all, not everyone had bad intentions. Most people still hoped other humans could live well.

Some of them needed to be screened, however, especially some important information that involved their own interests. Duan Hongyu had just been misled not too long ago.

However, with more experience, he knew how to ask around and then summarize only the truly useful information!

Tang Susu understood what he meant. “This kind of hotel is like a courier station in the classical era or the know-it-all in martial arts novels. They have a certain amount of ‘information’?”

“It’s not that effective though, because there’s a lot of mobility in the post-apocalyptic world. Everyone has limited information, and it’s hard to tell if it’s real or fake. It’s difficult for us to get accurate information from anywhere, except for places where people gather, shelters, safe bases, and places similar to hotels.”

Duan Hongyu, who had been wandering outside for over two months without stopping, had a lot of say in this matter.

Tang Susu looked at him in a new light.

She knew the development of the plot, the structure of the world, the various settings, and even the fate of many people. She had absolute dominion over the information in this world.

However, there were many details that were not explained in detail in the game and she didn’t pay attention to them. Duan Hongyu was vividly showing how the small fries survived the apocalypse. To be exact, how 95% of the human race survived.

Even if they didn’t have any superpowers and weren’t very strong, they could still rely on other skills to get a chance to survive!

“These 20 crystal cores are worth it.” Tang Susu said in agreement.

Duan Hongyu didn’t think too much about it. When he heard her say that, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and took out five crystal cores that belonged to his party.

“There’s no need for that.” Tang Susu didn’t take it. Instead, she opened a big bag that Mr. Tang had packed and took out a carton of pure milk. She inserted a straw into it and started drinking.

Many people were drooling as they watched her. It was because water was rare and milk was even rarer.

Someone secretly sighed. “Milk is so hard to find now. We’ve searched so many places, but the milk has all been emptied.”

“Forget about milk. Water is not easy to find either. There are no fools around here. If they have the ability, they will definitely take and carry as much as they can!”

Tang Susu was completely oblivious to the envious gazes. After all, she wanted to drink something sweet and sour, like fruit juice instead of milk.

After quenching her thirst, she said to the group of people who were scattered around, “Everyone, eat something and go to rest soon. The women will stay in the room while the men will sleep on the floor outside. Be careful at night and don’t sleep too deeply.. Those who are on guard duty are still on duty!”
