How difficult was it for the refugees to get into the stronghold? According to Wang Fugui, he had only seen four people get into the stronghold successfully in his forty years of being alive. All of them were the ”distant relatives” of certain important people in the stronghold.

Many of these people came to the stronghold to seek refuge with their relatives but were turned away by the stronghold. So they had to settle down in town and slowly wait for an opportunity to come.

If it was already so difficult for the relatives of important people to get into the stronghold, would Luo Xinyu's claims of giving away three spots even be possible? If you were really that influential, you wouldn't have had to make a deal with the soldiers to go to Stronghold 112. Shouldn't you have gotten them to escort you there directly?

Stupid people think others are stupid.

Ren Xiaosu felt that Luo Xinyu was going through too much trouble to achieve her objective. Even though he was a refugee, he did not lack judgment. If someone else were the guide, they might just believe her claims. However, Ren Xiaosu did not.

If Ren Xiaosu accepted her terms, how would he find Luo Xinyu once she got back to the stronghold? What would prevent her from jumping ship?

Besides, honestly speaking, Ren Xiaosu did not have a good impression of Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu at all.

Everyone was parched after having pork for lunch. However, all of their bottled water and food had been left behind in the pickup, or rather, most of their bottled water and food had been destroyed when Xu Xianchu and the others mercilessly shot at the provisions.

Xu Xianchu looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked, ”How can we find a source of water out here?”

At this moment, the palace assigned a quest. ”Quest: Teach everyone how to locate a source of water.”

”You can only search for a river or collect dew from leaves.” Ren Xiaosu did not hide information from them. ”But I don't recommend you go to the riverbank. Based on my estimates, the nearest river is still quite a distance away. Just bear with it for now. You won't die of thirst yet. We'll collect dew tomorrow morning.”

Xu Xianchu nodded and said, ”Thank you.”

”Gratitude received from Xu Xianchu, +1!”

Ren Xiaosu waited for quite a while before asking in his mind, ”Where's my reward?”

However, the palace ignored him. Ren Xiaosu wondered what was going on.

It was as though this was the first time the palace had witnessed Ren Xiaosu completing a quest without resorting to unconventional methods. Thus, the palace had some trouble making a decision on the outcome!

After a long time, the voice from the palace in Ren Xiaosu's mind finally said, ”Quest complete. Awarded 1.0 Strength.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Although the quest had been completed, it was not what he had expected. Why was he given additional strength again?

Ren Xiaosu had been wondering if the palace would increase his Strength and Dexterity attributes in an even manner. But in the end, his Dexterity still remained at 4.1 while his Strength had already reached 7.5.

With a few more quests, Ren Xiaosu's Strength would probably hit three times that of what a normal adult had.

Right now, Ren Xiaosu still had the two bottles of water he had traded half a fish for. It was not possible to hide them. After all, his jacket's pockets were only so big.

Suddenly, Liu Bu came to Ren Xiaosu and said, ”Sell me a bottle for 1,000 yuan.”

Ren Xiaosu gave him a look. ”I'm not selling.”

”2,000 yuan!” Liu Bu said eagerly, ”Will you sell it to me for 2,000 yuan? I'm really thirsty!”
