Ch 18: The Greed Of Humanity

That night.

Ye Yun, Hook, and Rios were all resting at Clara’s house.

Clara’s house was quite nice, a two-story small house.

Ye Yun made several stir-fried dishes, and after eating with the two younger ones that night, he went to sleep.

Svarog, however, was still busy.

He issued a task to the wanderers in the Mechanical Settlement to collect Star Jades.

He allowed these people to exchange Star Jades for supplies from him.

These wanderers initially didn’t believe it. After all, this Star Jade thing was useless except for its appearance. How could it possibly be exchanged for precious grain?

Until someone successfully exchanged for supplies.

In the settlement’s tent area, a wanderer came from Svarog’s side, carrying a heavy bag of rice on his back.

“No way? You can really exchange for supplies?”

In an instant, all the wanderers in the settlement were unsettled.

My god! These Star Jades can actually be exchanged for supplies from Boss Svarog!

All the wanderers in the settlement swarmed into the outdoors to search for Star Jades.

Everyone scrambled, fearing that they would be too late to exchange for supplies.

“Don’t grab! I found this!”

“What’s yours is mine once it’s in my hands!”

“Hey! Do you want to fight?”

“Come on! Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

The wanderers quickly caused a great deal of chaos.

It proved that under absolute interests, people cannot control their behavior.

Gradually, this chaos evolved from cursing and arguing to bloody brawls.

There were even casualties.

Star Jades had been revered as hope by the wanderers in the Mechanical Settlement.

If anyone wants to cut off my hope of survival, then you shouldn’t live either!

After learning about this, Svarog immediately dispatched Mechanized Soldiers to maintain order.

Anyone who fought was violently suppressed.

Only then did these wanderers settle down.

The commotion caused by this farce was very loud, waking Hook, Clara, and Ye Yun from their sleep. They were now sitting in the living room, eating instant noodles.

Ye Yun slurped his noodles and glanced at Svarog standing outdoors.

“Svarog, what’s wrong with you? I see you’ve been spacing out.”

Svarog looked at Ye Yun.

“Nothing, I just don’t understand why these people would fight over a Star Jade. It’s something that can be obtained by diligently searching for supplies.”

“I’m wondering if they wouldn’t have rioted if I hadn’t issued the order to exchange Star Jades for supplies in the first place.”

Ye Yun took a sip of the noodle soup.

“You did nothing wrong; the method was wrong.”

“If I were you, I would choose a work-for-relief method.”

“This way, you can efficiently manage these people and build some infrastructure.”

“Such as houses, look at the people in your settlement, they all live in tents.”

Upon hearing this, Svarog’s computer in his mind rapidly processed.

“I understand.”

Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right, you don’t need to rush the exchange of supplies; you can have the Mechanized Soldiers collect supplies.”

“If you want to exchange supplies, have Clara contact me. You should know about mobile phones, right?”

Svarog nodded.

“It’s in the database.”

Ye Yun threw the empty instant noodle cup into the trash can and patted Svarog.

“I’m going to rest now, you continue working.”

After saying that, Ye Yun went to rest with Hook and Clara.

Svarog pondered for a moment and chose to adopt Ye Yun’s method.

This method is indeed very suitable for the Mechanical Settlement. It can not only efficiently manage this group of wanderers but also improve the surrounding facilities and equipment.

So.

Svarog directly issued an order to remove the supply exchange point and change it to a reward distribution point.

The wanderers in the Mechanical Settlement who hadn’t had time to exchange supplies instantly felt like the sky was falling.

“What! Star Jades can’t be exchanged for supplies anymore?”

“No, you guys are so fast? Usually, you all look listless, but when it comes to grabbing supplies, you’re all so energetic?”

“Damn it! Someone must have angered Boss Svarog! Otherwise, why wouldn’t he let us exchange? Look, there are still so many supplies over there!”

The crowd looked towards the nearby supply storage point, filled to the brim with supplies.

Someone still wanted to ask if they could exchange, and ran to stop a “Traffic Light.”

“There are still supplies here? Why don’t you let us exchange?”

The Traffic Light stopped and looked at the person blocking the way.

“Latest order: Stop exchanging supplies, switch to work-for-relief. If you want supplies later, gather here tomorrow to receive work. After work is completed, you can receive supplies.”

After speaking, the Traffic Light continued to transport supplies with its short legs.

Seeing that they couldn’t exchange supplies, the wanderers could only dejectedly return to their tents to rest.

Inside Pan-Yan Town.

Natasha was treating March 7th, Dan Heng, Star, and Bronya.

Soon, Natasha concluded that the four had only been knocked unconscious by a sleeping drug, and would be fine after resting.

So, Natasha arranged for the four to rest in a room.

Closing the door, Natasha looked at Sampo waiting beside her.

“Tell me, what’s the background of these people.”

Sampo chuckled.

“They are the people from our Lower City. I found them in a mine pile. Old Sambo, I am a kind person. How can I stand by and watch them die?”

Natasha didn’t speak, she just stared at Sampo, with an expression of “I’m watching you continue to act.”

Seeing this, Sampo could only truthfully tell them the identities of the four.

Upon learning their identities, Natasha frowned.

Especially Bronya’s identity, the heir to the Great Guardian!

If this is not handled well, the Lower City might face a devastating disaster.

Star, March 7th, and Dan Heng were not particularly troublesome, although they were wanted criminals from the Upper City.

However, the Silver Mane Iron Guards wouldn’t come here to arrest people.

There were still many wanted criminals in the Lower City, all under the surveillance of Heavenly Fire.

“I understand, you can go back. I’ll take care of these people.”

Sampo bowed deeply.

“Thank you, Big Sister. Old Sambo will take his leave.”

After Sampo left, Natasha called a few nurses.

“Take good care of these people, there must be no accidents.”

After the nurses agreed, Natasha returned to her Office.

Unlike this morning, there was a large burlap sack in the corner.

Natasha walked over and opened it, filled with Star Jades.

Natasha picked one up and looked at it, opening her record book.

【Current Star Jade count: 1365 pieces】

These are all the Star Jades Heavenly Fire can currently collect.

After today’s order, all members of Heavenly Fire went out to search, and every area under Heavenly Fire’s control was turned upside down.

At this time, Herrscher pushed open the door and entered, holding a small pouch in her hand.

“Natasha, I’m back. These are the Star Jades I found in Riveting Town.”
