Chapter 70 Promise
"Make! Coarse cloth strips!" As soon as Li Jie got home, he immediately took out the hemp and plant roots from the mailbox. As for the confirmation form filled out when collecting taxes, he simply ignored it.

Beep...Testing...Beep...Ding...Ding...Ding...

The rough cloth strips were completed one by one, and Li Jie watched the production proficiency increase to 67...67...

"There is a crafting enhancement skill that can be learned, campfire making? Can you make campfires anytime and anywhere? What's the use of that? Never mind, let's learn it first." Li Jie now has no shortage of new coins, only gold bars.

Ding dong, you have learned how to make campfires and reached the full level.

"Congratulations, you have taken a big step forward. In this world, No.5 has been upgraded to a level 2 manor." Galar's voice came out.

"What? I'm the fifth one who worked so hard?" Li Jie thought he was the first to upgrade the manor, after all, he was full of liver.

"Hmph! If you didn't have those long-winded things, you wouldn't have upgraded so late." Galar was obviously referring to the detours that Li Jie took.

"Okay, okay, the fifth is already pretty good, ahhh... I'm sleepy too, and my energy is exhausted again." Li Jie climbed onto his bed and soon fell asleep...

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom!Loud knocking on the door...

"Who is it?" Li Jie opened his tired sleepy eyes, as if he hadn't slept for long.

"Li Jie! Li Jie, open the door! It's me! Something happened!" Rachel's urgent voice came from outside.

Li Jie lost all sleepiness when he heard this, and hurriedly got up from the bed, and came to the door with a Mondragon rifle in his hand.

Creak... The door was opened, revealing Rachel's anxious expression.

"Rachel! What's the matter? Is there a zombie attacking the camp? Come in!" Li Jie poked his head out to look around, and then pulled Rachel into the room.

Bang!The door was locked.

"You...what are you thinking?" Rachel clasped her hands on her chest, looking pitiful like a frightened rabbit.

"Didn't you say something happened? What happened?" Li Jie went up to the second floor, where the view was wider.

"Oh, it's Pepe, Pepe is lost, please help me find it." Rachel pouted and followed, almost crying.

"Don't worry, don't worry, what happened to Pepe? When did you disappear?" Li Jie quickly comforted her.

"I don't know, it disappeared as soon as I woke up. It may not be used to it just now, and it was scared away by the noise of the construction. Hurry up, look for it!" Rachel was very anxious. Khan, she searched all over the camp, but she couldn't find it.It was dark now, and the wild was so dangerous that Rachel didn't dare to go out, so she had to come to Li Jie for help.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find her back. What kind of clothes did she wear when she went out?" Li Jie asked her to sit on a chair and handed her another glass of water.

"Huh? Wearing clothes? What clothes? It just ran out like that."

"Running naked?" "Yes."

"Then what is she?" "It's a pet pig."

"You mean... tell me to find a pig?" Li Jie now understands that the co-author is not a person but a pig.What happened to me today?For a while, I asked myself to go to the young lady to take pictures, and for a while, I asked myself to go to the pig?

"What's wrong with looking for a pig! Pepe is so cute and smart, much better than some people! Are you going to look for it or not!" Rachel was annoyed, and secretly scolded Li Jie that he was not as stupid as a pig.

"Okay, okay, I'll look for it, can't I look for it? But...it's been so long..." Li Jie spread his hands helplessly. He had been running all day, so where could he find it?

"Woof!" Jin Hu on the side suddenly called out...

"You let it lead the way!" Rachel pointed at Jinhu.

"It?" Li Jie looked at Jin Hu suspiciously, and the latter stood up and bowed.

"Of course, it has been in contact with Pepe for a few days, so it should be able to find it by looking for the smell." Rachel has raised the golden tiger for a few days, and the two pets also have some communication.

"Jin Hu, can you do it?" It's been so long, Li Jie is afraid that the smell of piggy Peipei will disappear.

"Wow!" Jin Hu sniffed east and west, barking wildly in the direction of the autumn forest.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Rachel, you just stay in the camp and you're not allowed to go anywhere, it's dangerous outside." Li Jie packed up everything and was ready to go out.

"Be careful on the road! If you really can't find it...forget it..." Rachel began to worry about Li Jie now, feeling...

"Don't worry, I have defeated the giant infected people. Those little zombies in the wild are no match for me at all!" Li Jie patted his chest, raised his legs and walked out.

"Then go early and return early. Oh, yes, it's time to pay the Chamber of Commerce's taxes today, but Shire Town hasn't made a profit yet... So, I applied for a four-day grace period for you, but you have to pay an extension fee of 1600 gold bars." Rachel suddenly stopped Li Jie who was about to leave.

"What? There is no income in Shire Town? How could it be? Besides, the extension fee is too expensive, right? With 1% interest per day, the annualized interest rate is 365%!" Li Jie was like a cat whose tail was trampled on. It's all blown up, it's black, it's even blacker than usury!
"Hey...forget it." Li Jie looked at the wronged Rachel, and couldn't bear to complain anymore, knowing that she also followed the rules and couldn't make things difficult for the lovely Rachel.

"But...I don't have any money yet..." This is the key point, Li Jie only has 300 gold bars left.

"It's okay, I've already paid in advance for you." Rachel shook her head, this friendship moved Li Jie very much.

"Okay, I'll go first. When I get your pig back, I will hurry up to develop the camp's economy. If this continues, the camp will be disbanded in a few days. I will definitely take your money I'll give it back to you." Li Jie touched his dry pockets, it would be impossible if he didn't develop the economy, and the exiles seemed to have recharged money, but he could only rely on the tax revenue of the camp.

"No, I have confidence in you!" Rachel looked optimistic about you, which restored Li Jie's confidence.

"Wow!" Jin Hu yelled twice, leading the way.

Li Jie bid farewell to Rachel, embarked on the road of night, promised girls, men must do it!
