Chapter 130 Magicule Electrolytes
Chapter 130 Magicule Electrolytes
After the fake enthusiasm, Shi Tian gradually returned to the field to collect the remaining Moles\' corpses. And it was as if he couldn\'t receive any more terrible luck, none of the other corpses had Source Crystal in them.
Doing a manual calculation, Shi Tian could easily tell that the profits they earned were in the negative zone.
Even with all these corpses and the few Source Crystals they got, it couldn\'t surpass the value of their Claymore mines and stun grenades.
The Claymore mines and stun grenades that they used are of high quality and superior to what the current market sold.
After all, these Claymore mines were capable enough to blast through the tough skin of the Moles and the stun grenades could even immobilize the Moles\' movement temporarily, showcasing clear evidence to prove how effective the traps were.
"Sigh, the work that we did to subjugate them was a complete loss." He muttered, feeling the difficulty of actually becoming a mercenary.
If a mercenary team couldn\'t earn enough profit from the monsters they hunted using their equipment, then it would have been a great loss to them.
Not only does their equipment need repair, but they might also be wasting a lot of disposable grenades, which causes a lot of money.
A mercenary might seem bright and strong on the surface, but the pressure they faced each time they ventured to the wilderness to hunt is immense.
\'If the traps and equipment weren\'t provided by Master Isaac and Mary, then I\'d probably lost a lot of money. And possibly my life as well, considering that I didn\'t know about the Night Intruders and their hideous conduct.\' Shi Tian thought to himself, feeling blessed and lucky to encounter such people in the sea of evil.
He honestly never had a great impression of people, especially after the experience of being forcefully kidnapped for an experiment.
And then meeting scum-like people such as Xavier, Hugo, Benmos, and the few from Hush\'s Workshop after his awakening.
"Nathan, what are you idling around for? You are wasting a lot of valuable time." Mary suddenly shouted from within Iron Sentinel, urging him to hasten his action.
"I\'ll be finished soon." Shi Tian snapped out of his thoughts and replied swiftly.
He then proceeded to collect the remaining corpse and the remnant of the Claymore mines. Just like Mary had stated, these Claymore mines could be rebuilt and repaired as long as one had the skills to do it.
And who was he?
An apprentice of Master Isaac and someone walking the path of a Mechanic.
It would be a disgrace and shameful thing if he can\'t even repair a trap as an upcoming Mechanic.
Sometime later, Shi Tian finished collecting everything and glanced at the aftermath field one last time. The field was beyond recognizable when they first arrived, but it didn\'t matter.
Such sceneries are way too common in the wilderness, and no one would be dumb enough to come and criticize them for leaving such damage.
Returning to the Iron Sentinel, Shi Tian subsequently took off his gas mask and made his way toward the passenger\'s seat.
Once he sat down, he saw Mary sipping on some drink, acting in a leisurely behavior.
"Do I get some too?" Shi Tian asked without an ounce of hesitation.
It would be a lie to say he wasn\'t exhausted from walking all around the fissured field and collecting the corpses, plus the remnants of the Claymore mines.
"Your drink is in your storage compartment already. I\'m not that heartless to not let you quench your thirst." Mary moved more to the side and pointed at the storage compartment by his side.
Although a bit suspicious of her behavior, Shi Tian opened his storage compartment and indeed found a drink stored there.
However, when he took the drink out and compared it to Mary, the size between them was clearly visible.
Mary\'s drink was at least twice the size of the drink he got, and Shi Tian was truly on the verge of a meltdown.
\'Was this supposed to be the carrot from the carrot and stick methodology?\' He twitched his mouth in disbelief. If this was the case, then the carrot was truly one unsweetened reward.
Staring at Mary quietly, she cleverly avoided eye contact and kept her distance.
No wonder why she tilted to the side and even acted so suspiciously.
"Sigh, working all day and this is my reward. I sure enjoy this training." Shi Tian opened the drink and said calmly.
"I\'m not treating you harshly on purpose, Nathan. But these drinks aren\'t simple and contain quite the Magicule to restore stamina. If you drink beyond your capacity, then you would experience nausea, migraine, and possibly other side effects." Mary warned.
"Is that so?" Shi Tian narrowed his eyes and moved closer to her.
"If it was supposed to be my well-being, then why are you acting so suspiciously? It\'s like you\'re guilty of something." He added, interrogating her further.
"Ahem, that\'s because I didn\'t want you to feel bad that I could handle such a size whereas you can\'t. Anyway, this drink is called Magicule Electrolytes or Magel in short." She revealed her drink and explained, pointing at the label of the bottle.
"Magel huh? So this is the replacement of the electrolyte drinks in the past that were meant to regulate nerve and muscle function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure, and help rebuild damaged tissue." He then enquired, speaking a bunch of facts.
Meanwhile, Mary looked at him with a ghastly expression, almost as if she was seeing a ghost and not a human.
"How the hell do you know all those functions and effects?" She asked in confusion. "Are you a doctor that studies these?"
Shi Tian, however, flashed a bitter smile and shook his head.
"In the past, there was someone that I took care of and her health wasn\'t the greatest. Hence, I needed to check up on each drink and food product before I could buy it for them." He said, opening his bottle and drinking the Magel.
