Chapter 79: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 79 Brainstorming
If Chen Xue and the others really built a city in the Southern Barbarian, or even established a country, the court might not sit idly by, or they might just observe the situation.
After all, the Southern Barbarian Region was home to countless different ethnic groups. If someone were to build a city there, it would practically be drawing fire for the court.
When they saw a city, how could they not have the intention to plunder? And when the Southern Barbarian ethnic groups wanted to plunder, the people who built the city would naturally resist. So they would have to resist.
In this way, the court wouldn't take action against them, and might even support them. Of course, this was based on the premise that they only established a city and did not establish a country.
Of course, Chen Xue didn't actually have such grand ambitions; she just wanted to build a powerful force to protect her family.
If one day her space was exposed, without strength, how could she protect and hold onto the space?
Because once the space was exposed, the entire court would take action against them, making enemies with everyone. With just her petite figure, how could she withstand it?
However, these things were still too far away.
What she needed to do now was to collect as many contribution points as possible for future needs.
After all, the system had all kinds of things.
"These are smoke bombs, incendiary bombs!"
Chen Xue listed out the things that could be exchanged in the system for her parents to refer to because one person's wisdom was limited, but together they could come up with more ideas.
And considering the recent dangers they had encountered, Chen Xue listed out the weapons first.
"Smoke bombs, when thrown, will fill the surrounding area with smoke, obscuring everyone's vision."
"But then wouldn't we also be unable to see?" Madam Chen was puzzled; this sounded like sacrificing eight hundred to kill one thousand.
Helplessly, Chen Xue said, "Actually, these smoke bombs work better when paired with infrared goggles, but they're too expensive..."
Anyway, with her current contribution points, she couldn't afford them.
"But, we can exchange for a crossbow!" Chen Xue thought for a moment. Weapons like daggers and swords didn't seem practical to her as a modern person.
So, ranged weapons and modern weapons were the preferred options.
But modern weapons were too expensive.
After thinking about it, only crossbows were relatively cheaper. But the system was very shrewd; it only provided ten arrows per crossbow, and if they wanted more, they had to buy them at one contribution point per arrow.
"We can have this!" Chen's father nodded decisively upon hearing this. "I'll learn how to use the crossbow in the space tonight, so I can protect you!"
"By the way!" Chen Yuan suddenly paused, seeming to remember something. "Xiao Xue, do we have sleeve arrows?"
Crossbows were a bit too big, and they couldn't be carried around casually, making it easy to expose.
And from the miscellaneous books he had read before, he had seen a kind of hidden weapon used by the Jianghu, sleeve arrows.
Chen Xue was startled, "Let me check!"
She immediately closed her eyes and accessed the system list, indeed finding sleeve arrows, but they were expensive, costing fifteen thousand contribution points.
Although expensive, this thing was very practical.
Bound to the hand, it could be launched at any time without worrying about exposure. It was definitely a must-have for home travel... uh, I mean, essential for going out.
"It's still too short of contribution points..."
Chen Xue couldn't help sighing.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but speak up, "What's this contribution point you're talking about? Can we help?"
Chen Xue couldn't tell them about the system, and it was also difficult for the people of this era to understand such things.
She had explained before that she could trade with the God of Wealth, so she simply explained that contribution points were the currency she used to trade with the God of Wealth.
As for how to obtain them, it was just by collecting some resources.
"Right, System, we used to get points when buying things before. Shouldn't we have some points as well?"
Chen Xue suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but tentatively ask, but didn't hold much hope.
"Host didn't spend 100 contribution points, so I can return 1 contribution point."
"So few!" Chen Xue widened her eyes, "Such a swindler!"
"Wait a minute!" She suddenly realized, "I spent ten thousand points before, why didn't my contribution points increase?"
"Host didn't activate this function!"
"You didn't say!"
Chen Xue was both angry and speechless.
"You didn't ask!"
"I..."
"Well, now I'm asking you, what other functions are there?"
"None!"
"............"
Chen Xue opened her eyes angrily and heard her father's sudden realization, "No wonder you wanted to pull up the grass before!"
"Wait!" Madam Chen was puzzled, "Didn't you say the other party is the God of Wealth? How could the God of Wealth want grass?"
What kind of God of Wealth was this? He had never seen grass before?
"Uh..."
Chen Xue sweated profusely, suddenly regretting making up this reason; one lie had to be covered with thousands of lies.
"Maybe the God of Wealth is from heaven, so he hasn't seen grass on earth!"
"Makes sense!"
"So, as long as we collect enough resources, we can get enough contribution points, and then we can exchange for more resources?"
Chen Yuan began to contemplate. Although the words sounded a bit convoluted, they quickly understood.
"That's right."
Chen Yuan nodded, and then said, "So when you asked captain Sun to cooperate before, to do business with medicinal herbs, was it to earn contribution points?"
"Yes!" Chen Xue nodded. She hadn't revealed the fact that she could exchange things yet, so she hadn't said it, and her father hadn't asked.
"So, our focus now is how to get contribution points?" After Chen's father finished speaking, he furrowed his brows.
Chen Xue sighed, "I'm also worried about this. The value of those medicinal herbs is high the first time they're collected, but afterwards, they're very cheap."
Chen Yuan began to ponder, "You said before that as long as we collect valuable resources, it's fine. Is there any specific requirement?"
Chen Xue shook her head. In fact, the system didn't have any restrictions because this world was a completely new world for the system.
Upon hearing this, Chen's father's eyes lit up, "Then it's easy!"
"If there are no restrictions, then we have many options." Chen Yuan smiled, "There are plenty of valuable resources, whether it's so-called medicinal herbs, minerals, flowers, trees, birds, beasts..."
"And there's also gold, silver, jewelry, even handmade products, artworks, various technologies... and so on..."
Chen Xue's eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this. Yes, why didn't I think of that? I was too narrow-minded before.
Being reminded by her father, she suddenly realized that there were countless ways and channels to increase contribution points.
With contribution points, they could exchange for more things. If they established a force, they could not only exchange for weapons, but also for some strategic supplies.
Like refined sugar, fine salt.
These things were very cheap in her past life, but very expensive here. And many of the materials in the system were priced according to the prices of her past life, so one contribution point could exchange for a pound of salt.
And it was fine salt, which, if taken out, could definitely make a lot of people work for them.
