Just before Ian was about to take action, the wizard's keen intuition allowed him to sense a sneaky figure in the grass opposite.

"fainted"

There is no "Harry Potter" novel in this world, so Ian will not be secretive when releasing magic, so there is no hesitation and the magic is activated instantly.

However, he did not choose to hit the target, but deliberately deviated two meters and hit a tree nearby.

The reason for doing this is that he has already known through the opponent's gait and movement trajectory that the opponent is not a parasite.

"There are actually survivors here!"

This thought flashed through Ian's mind instantly. Under the influence of his good nature, his spell was deliberately deflected so that it did not hit the figure who he thought was well hidden.

"Come out, stranger, and explain your purpose."

Ian is not a brainless virgin, and his kind thoughts only prevented him from letting the spell hit the opponent in the first place.

If it is confirmed that the other party is not a threat and has good intentions, he does not mind sharing some supplies. After all, in this world, survival and supplies are no longer a problem for him.

If you have bad intentions, it would be even simpler. Although there is phosphate fertilizer from plant ash in the vegetable field, it still lacks more organic fertilizer.

"I don't mean any harm, it's just that there was a fire here yesterday, so I came here to check it out today. I'm leaving now!"

said a clear and soft voice from the bushes.

Irene was still speaking with lingering fear at this moment, after all, the sudden attack frightened her.

Although he didn't know what kind of weapon the opponent's small stick was, the fist-sized deep hole it hit on the tree trunk already showed that its power was no worse than a standard-caliber pistol.

Ian looked at the survivor who walked out slowly in front of him. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a very beautiful woman, with a tall and slender figure, delicate facial features, and straight and slender legs.

With her towering and protruding chest and her soft face that fits an oriental woman, she is probably of mixed Chinese and Western descent, which makes her look soft and delicate overall.

Although the other party was a little embarrassed at the moment, the long black shawl hair that had been neglected was also slightly dry, and the skin was haggard and dull due to lack of daily care due to lack of daily care.

But Ian, who had watched countless people in short videos in his previous life, still discovered the hidden good looks of the other person.

With such a bare-faced and slovenly appearance, her appearance is still not ruined, and she can definitely be called a natural beauty.

The most important thing is that the other person's eyes have no evil intentions, they are clean and bright.

Ian deliberately looked at each other for a few seconds. The other person's eyes did not dodge, and they looked at each other candidly.

"You don't need to be afraid. I'm just wary of strangers who appear suddenly and need to confirm their purpose.

After all, in an era when the law is like waste paper, everyone is responsible for their own lives, and negligence is tantamount to death.

By the way, my name is Ian, and as you can see, I'm a magician. "

Maybe it was the harmless eyes of the other party that made Ian feel compassionate, or maybe it was the long black hair that made him feel kind.

In short, after he put down the wand pointed at the other party, his tone became much more tactful, and he also rarely explained a few words about his behavior just now.

"Okay, Ian, you are right. In this bad world, you must be more cautious. You can call me Erin."

Eileen also looked in agreement, maybe feeling Ian's kindness, and then said quickly:

"Actually, I came here for a purpose, to find my companions and collect survival supplies together. To be honest, my food reserves have already been exhausted."

"I'm sorry, I have enough supplies and I have no idea of ​​going out for the time being."

This was Ian's deliberate answer, while not forgetting to pay attention to the other person's expression.

I found only loss and sadness, as well as indescribable pity, but the most valuable thing is that there is no greed or resentment at all.

In this post-apocalyptic world of cannibalism, it is very rare to be able to maintain such kindness.

Therefore, Ian also planned to help the other party and help this woman who still remained kind in the apocalypse, so he changed the subject and continued:

"But I can give you a chance in exchange for food..."

Before Ian could finish his words, he saw the other party suddenly put a hand on his waist, and then looked at him warily. It was obvious that he had misunderstood something.

"...You can get paid by working. Obviously I plan to grow food and vegetables here, and I really need someone who can help me complete the farming work."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the woman in front of him with amusement, who looked like a frightened rabbit. The other woman obviously realized that he was overthinking, and smiled awkwardly.

Without waiting for the other party to explain anything, Ian continued:

"If you agree, the tools are over there. Use a shovel to dig all the land to a depth of one foot, break up the hard soil and mix it evenly with the plant ash."

After a pause, Ian added: "I hope you can complete these tasks within three days. This bag of potatoes will be your reward. Oh, by the way, I can provide you with two meals a day during work."

After Ian said this, he did not forget to point to the potatoes he had taken out of his backpack to use as seeds. The full bag weighed about 10 kilograms.

This was his deliberate approach, because no one, anywhere, can get something for nothing. Even if you give charity to the other party for a short time, what about the future? Countless times of charity?

This is the stupidest thing to do, because if you don't give charity once, you will make an enemy for him. As the old saying goes - 'a friend's favor is worth a pound's worth' - Ian still understands this principle.

In fact, the reason why Ian chose this way was firstly to sympathize with him, and secondly to appreciate the other person's kind qualities.

That's why he planned to let her work in exchange for payment from the beginning, so that they would be comfortable getting along with each other and not have any grudges.

And it can also help the other party in the long term, which is a kind of feedback for their kindness.

The cost was just a little bit of food, and it was just a matter of his words at Hogwarts.

"Oh, oh, I agree, that's fair, I'll do it now."

Erin quickly agreed. In her opinion, this was the best and safest way to obtain supplies.

Ignoring this woman who looked a little dazed, Ian shouldered his infinitely extendable backpack.

Then he started to look around, looking for suitable trees, and started building his fence.
