Chapter 572: Free Labor
Qin Yi put the huge knife back into her Origin Space and spoke plainly, “Sorry. It was an accident.”
Yang Jindi wanted to jump up and swear, but this smelly liquid was all over her body and the moment she opened her mouth, some of the liquid would get inside, just like snot.
She vomited at that moment and things became worse after that. She was covered in both filth and liquid, which made her even smellier.
However, that was none of Qin Yi’s business.
Many people could tell that this youth did it on purpose, but nobody blamed her. After all, they had tolerated Yang Jindi for a very long time, and it was her fault that the ant had woken up in the first place.
If not for Qin Yi and the other two people, they probably wouldn’t even be alive.
Not only were these people grateful for Qin Yi’s help, but they also respected and feared her even more.
Qin Yi used her mental strength to wrap her own hand, then pulled out a crystal core from the ant’s head—it was dark green in color.
Qin Yi simply kept the crystal core for herself. She was poor ah, and the betrothal gift was cheated out of Lin Qing. She didn’t have many crystal cores left and there were quite a few mouths she had to feed in the Origin Space.
Everyone was quite envious when they saw that crystal core, as they originally came to this place for the crystal cores. However, there wasn’t a single zombie in M-City right now.
Perhaps… Perhaps they could kill these mutated ants.
At that thought, everyone started to become restless.
Qin Yi could tell that the rank of these mutated ants wasn’t very high, and a few people could work together to get rid of it.
After all, it was easier to get rid of them after knowing their weak spot.
“Village chief, there aren’t any zombies here. Why don’t we kill these mutated ants instead?” someone suggested.
“This…” Gu Cheng was a little hesitant, wondering, “There are thousands of them here. Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”
He was tempted as well, but what was the point if they lost their lives over it?
“What’s there to be afraid of, village chief? They aren’t awake yet anyway, we can just deal with them one by one. There will be thousands of crystal cores, ah. With that amount, we wouldn’t have to worry for months. Also, we have Qin Yi around,” one of the men immediately suggested.
Qin Yi scoffed—did they think that she was that generous?
“That’s right, that’s right! With Qin Yi around, we don’t have to be afraid,” someone chimed in, as if with Qin Y around, they didn’t have to be afraid of anything.
They didn’t ask for Qin Yi’s opinion on the matter, not even intending to give her anything in return.
At that moment, Huang Ying spoke up timidly, “We should give Qin Yi some crystal cores, then.”
Huang Ying’s voice wasn’t loud, but the second she finished speaking, there was complete silence.
Those few men who had previously spoken up didn’t really want to part with the crystal cores. If they gave some crystal cores to Qin Yi, that would mean that they would have less of them to split.
Nobody wanted that.
One crystal core alone could last them a number of days.
Nobody spoke, causing Huang Ying to become anxious. She knew that the one who had the final say here was Gu Cheng, so she quickly said to him, “Village chief, they aren’t from our village and aren’t obliged to do this for us. We should pay them.”
Huang Ying had lived in this village for quite a few years, and naturally knew how ugly some of the people here were. Qin Yi was so nice to them and she didn’t want her to be taken advantage of.
“Huang Ying, what nonsense are you spouting? It is exactly because they don’t belong to our village that we shouldn’t give them anything. Our village would only have a few crystal cores left if we gave some to them,” someone disagreed.
