Qiao Mu nodded emphatically. “Mhm.”


  Even so, Captain Gao only felt that the pouch of ten thousand mystic currency was burning his hands, and he stammered in embarrassment, “A-Actually, it’s also okay if you don’t give a down payment. Besides, Little Miss, the price you’re offering is truly too, too high……”


  “It’s fine! Just go and pick them. When we meet here again in a month, I’ll give you the rest of the mystic currency.”


  “Alright.” Captain Gao nodded vigorously before saying with a beaming smile, “Then Little Miss, we’ll first go and prepare herb-gathering tools and what not. I’ll take my leave now.”


  Qiao Mu nodded, but then she quickly called out after them with a flash of her eyes.

  “Captain!” The little fellow shouted crisply and trotted over to Captain Gao. She looked up at him and said, “In the future, don’t casually concede your position as captain to other people!”


  Perhaps this was Fan Qiuhe’s final goal.

  In her previous life, she had only just turned 16 years old when she joined Huge Bear Squad.

  In the three years since she joined, she looked on helplessly as the Huge Bear Squad members perished one by one. In the end, only she and Fan Qiuhe were left.

  After contemplating it over now, realization finally dawned on her. This probably wasn’t merely caused by the worsening environmental factors. Perhaps Fan Qiuhe’s non-interference played a hand in it.

  Qiao Mu subconsciously clenched her fists.

  Fan Qiuhe, this scum, wait until she returned to the capital. She was definitely going to make some time to drop in on him.

  After being startled by this request that was without rhyme or reason, Captain Gao scratched his head with a silly smile. “Okay! Other than the ardent passion coursing through my body, I don’t have anything else. My teammates are my family, so I will certainly lead them well.”


  “Captain.” The members of Huge Bear Squad also clamored jubilantly.

  “Sigh.” Qiao Mu pressed her small lips together before beckoning towards a 16 to 17-year-old young lady in the squad. “Sis Ge come over quickly, I have something good for you.”


  “Ah.”

  The young lady called Sis Ge impetuously walked up to Qiao Mu in puzzlement.

  Qiao Mu held her small, rough hand and directly handed a heavy cloth sack to her. “Sis Ge, it’s actually quite nice to eat yam every day. It’s just that it’s easy to get sick of it after eating too much. Go take this to eat! Have Captain buy some necessities with the down payment I gave you. Don’t treat yourselves too badly.”


  “Oh, that’s right.” Disregarding the young lady’s gawking look, Qiao Mu promptly fished out two boxes of medicinal cream from her pocket and stuffed them into Sis Ge’s hands, whispering, “I personally concocted these two boxes of beautifying cream, which can improve your complexion. It’s most suitable for people like us who are constantly on the move and exposed to the elements all day long. Remember to apply it to your skin every night, and your skin will become like mine in less than ten days.”


  “Really?” Sis Ge widened her eyes in shock as she reflexively touched her own dry skin.

  “Mhm, mhm. You don’t need to apply too much. A small spoonful every day is sufficient.”
