Chapter 1106: The thorn in the back, the harvest is huge!
"What is this and why does it smell so bad?"
"Stinky tofu, smells stinky and tastes delicious!"
"It smells bad and tastes delicious?"
In front of the cauldron of boiling oil, a trace of disgust appeared on Sid's face, and he looked at Special Forces Captain Sam.
The meaning is simply self-evident.
However, the latter had no idea of trying it, and his eyes automatically glanced at the face of the soldier next to him.
Finally, seeing the soldier's reluctance, Sam reminded him.
"This is an order."
Depend on!
This smells not much different from Shet, even more intense black lump.
The soldier stepped forward with a look of death on his face and bought a bowl for five iron coins.
Six dollars in total.
Because beans are not yet grown in large quantities, tofu is still quite valuable.
Covered with colorful juices, the soldier gently picked up a piece and swallowed it under the disgusted eyes of the people around him.
hiss.
The crispy fried tofu skin suddenly cracked in your mouth, and the mixed juices rushed to your taste buds.
The moist and tender interior is wrapped with a hint of spicy chili aroma, which goes directly from the nasal cavity to Tianling Gai.
What does this smell like?
Tears suddenly appeared in the soldier's eyes, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Of course, I was choked!
There is no such thing as chili in the nutritious meals at Sunny Harbor Shelter.
After all, we live in a tropical climate. If you still eat spicy food, it is inseparable from getting angry.
But this taste
After swallowing it gently, the soldier picked up another piece, closed his eyes and began to chew it carefully.
This time, he tasted a faint new flavor among the spicy and rich aroma.
That's the taste in memory.
When he was six years old, his father bought him a piece of Candy from the foundation's merchant ship.
But why does this stinky tofu have such a smell?
He opened his eyes and began to swallow the remaining tofu piece by piece with doubts, trying to find the secret.
However, until I ate the last piece, the aroma still lingered in my mind, making me unable to extricate myself.
"tasty?"
Sid and Sam looked at each other, confused.
When the soldiers had tears in their eyes at first, they were a little lucky that they didn't try it themselves.
But then, with this development, why did the food continue to grow faster and faster?
The two of them are not ordinary residents. They have been to many gathering places and shelters, and have never seen such strange food.
"It's delicious, very delicious. Can I buy another bowl?"
There was a trace of longing in the soldier's eyes, which made the cook behind the stinky tofu stall burst into laughter.
Just now, this person actually gave him one-thirtieth of his experience.
A lot, really a lot.
You must know that he is now at level six, and the experience gained from upgrading has increased several times.
Normally, you can only accumulate so much experience in a day, and it is basically impossible to improve your level.
But now as long as these people can come and try a bowl, it feels like they are not far from being upgraded!
"Buy ten bowls at a time, I'm having a discount, you only need four iron coins per bowl!"
"purchase!"
When Sid heard this, he waved his hand and gave everyone a bowl.
Including the soldier who had already eaten a bowl before, he was also given a new bowl of stinky tofu.
At this moment, the chefs at other stalls nearby stared with their eyes wide open and started talking about it.
"Fuck, these people look like they've never eaten anything in their lives. Aren't they all pretty good at pretending before?"
"It's bad. If they are full of stinky tofu, how can we earn experience?"
"Look at the leader. He was so disgusted before. Now he's squatting on the ground and eating like a starving ghost."
"Wait a minute, if they come to eat at our remaining stalls, everyone has to agree that each person can only buy once."
"Okay, anyway, it's just the first experience that will give you more experience!"
"No problem, hurry up and ask the fluttering moth to bring the person over."
The stinky tofu stall didn't even have a table, so a group of people just squatted on the ground and devoured it.
Many people choked and coughed, but they still couldn't help but take one mouthful after another, savoring the pleasure of the juice splashing in their mouths.
Is it that delicious?
Of course!
Sid had completely forgotten his previous dislike and ate faster than his assistant Pine next to him.
He even took a sip of the juice in the bowl, then stood up with his lips smacking.
"Boss, another bowl?"
"No more!"
"No more?"
Looking at the other stinky tofu still floating in the pot, Sid was a little confused about what the other party meant.
Still, the moth was beside him and explained in time: "If you finish buying, the others will have nothing to eat. There are many equally delicious snacks over there, why don't you go and try them?"
"So that's it!"
Sid suddenly realized.
Indeed, if there is no limit to such delicious stinky tofu, if one person buys it, he can hoard it and sell it again to earn the price difference.
Set a uniform price so that everyone can only buy one bowl.
The owner of this stall is quite nice. He is much more conscientious than the greedy owners in Qinggang New Town!
With the members of the mission who had finished eating the stinky tofu, Sid quickly walked to the next house.
This time it was small wontons, and each person still had a bowl.
A group of people sat on the open table of the stall and devoured their food. It only took less than three minutes for them to get up and walk to the next restaurant.
The purchasing power of a piece of gold is quite strong.
Even if you bring it to Sunny Harbor Shelter, you can still trade it for a lot of supplies.
However, in this Tianyuan territory, its purchasing power seems to have weakened.
When there was only the last copper coin left in his hand, Sid was shocked to find that he and others had already eaten from more than ten stalls.
Based on the average price of four iron coins, twelve people would have to pay five copper coins to eat from one stall.
Even though I have been able to eat until now, there are still some stalls that have given discounts to the envoy team, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.
"Are you full?"
"Have you eaten enough?"
Sam originally wanted to say something against his will, but after loosening his belt, he felt like he could do it right away.
The remaining soldiers licked their mouths, including Pine, with expressions of unfinished expression.
"But it's our money."
"It's okay. I also brought a piece of gold with me when I went out. Let's exchange it for it!"
Sam boldly took out a small gold nugget from his trouser pocket, which was just as big as the one Sid had before.
This was Edmund's secret instruction to him before he went out, to see if he could buy some weapons in Tianyuan Sanctuary to study, or buy some specialties here that were super weapons before they were decoded.
Now it is taken out and exchanged for money to eat.
No psychological pressure at all.
"This piece can be exchanged for seventy copper coins!"
The moth's eyes lit up.
Good guys, they are indeed a group of rich people. This piece of gold weighs at least 80 grams.
"Change, please Mr. Wang Yang!"
"No trouble, no trouble!"
The fluttering moth threw off his legs and ran towards the logistics office.
He felt that if he was one step slower, the cooks behind him who were waiting for experience would kill him with their eyes.
Taking advantage of this gap, the envoy team came to sit down at the stall where they had eaten before.
Although they enjoyed the meal, they did not forget the most important purpose of the trip.
Sam coughed lightly and quietly took out the communicator from his arms.
This is used to communicate with the industrial core. The closer the distance, the stronger the communication signal.
As we approached the western suburbs, the communication signal continued to rise.
At this time, we arrived at the Tianyuan territory.
"Well, why is it still this half-dead signal?"
Sid glanced at it and frowned.
It stands to reason that the further west you go, the stronger the signal grid should be.
But now there is still only one grid displayed on it, which means that everyone is not close to the core.
In other words, it is farther away from the core.
"Perhaps this Tianyuan Shelter did not take away our core, and the previous inferences were wrong."
"It's possible." Sam quickly clicked a few more times to confirm, nodded and said, "No response. It seems that the person who took the core was not the Tianyuan Shelter."
"That's just right. We have completed one of our tasks today."
As the highlight of this trip, since the core was confirmed not to be in the Tianyuan Refuge, they had no other way to investigate.
You can't go to the other party directly and say carelessly that we know the core is with you, so if you hand it over now, you can forget about it, right?
This method of blowing up the beard might have been feasible half a year ago, but now.
The disappearing wall of lightning is the best example.
If they dare to threaten, I'm afraid these lunatics will teach the remaining walls and even the shelter below the ground an unforgettable lesson tomorrow.
"Then the remaining tasks are to detect explosives and bring back some scarce commodities."
"Let's search for explosives first."
Taking back the device used to transmit signals to the industrial core, Sam took out the analyzer with explosive fragments stuck inside.
This is a traceability device made from the fragments of the explosion.
By irradiating the material of the internal fragments, the same wave can be generated if there is a homologous object nearby.
After receiving the same wave, based on the magnitude, you can infer how much inventory the other party has.
However, the accuracy cannot be perfect, but this is the limit that Sunny Harbor Shelter can achieve in just a few days.
This was the first time they had seen this strange substance, and they couldn't even analyze the principle of the explosion.
"Is there any?"
"No."
Sam shook his head in disappointment and stared blankly at the display marked '0' on the device.
In fact, it's not much of a problem. How could such a precious explosive be casually placed within the monitoring range?
As long as they consciously place it in the signal shielding room, this device will have no effect at all.
etc.
The numbers are starting to move!
In less than ten seconds, watching the number suddenly change from '0' to '1', Sam's face flashed with excitement.
I didn't expect that the other party really didn't care about this thing, so they could actually detect it.
Indeed, it is still impossible to find where the object of exploration is, but in the future, the same wave can always be located!
As long as we can bring back some samples from here, one day we will be able to decipher the principles of this substance.
You must not scare the snake away.
After detecting the number, the task is equivalent to completion.
But just when Sam was about to turn off the device and take it back into his arms, the numbers on it began to jump rapidly.
From 1 to 10, it only takes about a moment.
Then the number was like a rocket, and it exploded in less than ten seconds!
Explosive?
Damn it!
Looking at the four-digit number '9999', Sam was dumbfounded, and Sid next to him was also completely stunned.
What does this mean?
According to the calculations of the guys in the shelter's research room, it took about ten units of this material to blow up the lightning wall.
So doesn't the 9999 detected now mean that the other party is fully capable of taking Qinggang Shelter.
No, 9999 is not the final value, but the detected upper limit value.
Those same waves are still returning, but this device is no longer capable of receiving and analyzing them.
Could it be said that they have the ability to lead the entire city to self-destruct?
This discovery made the two people who knew about it suddenly feel thorns in their backs, as if there was a bomb sitting under their butts.
But for the other soldiers nearby who were still waiting to change money to continue eating, it didn't have any impact.
Soon, a familiar figure came into their eyes.
The moth rushed back with the money as fast as he could, with sweat still unwiped from his forehead.
"Keep eating, anyway."
"Eat, we can't affect the overall situation anyway."
The two looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
In less than half a day, two tasks have been completed, which should be a good thing.
But when they think about the other party's hidden strength, they can't be happy.
Who would have thought that a place called primitive man would still be brewing such a huge threat.
This is really not good news for Sunny Harbor Refuge.
The sun sets in the west.
After the heavy rain, the fiery red morning glow spread all over the sky, as if it was burning.
Standing on the observation deck at the top of the first floor of the shelter, I watched the envoy team get back on the carriage and leave.
Sumo couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"They've left?"
"Let's go. In fact, if we try to persuade them to stay, they will probably stay another night."
Chen Shen next to him was also smiling.
"That's not necessary. This group of people is not really here to talk about cooperation anyway."
Sumo shook his head and asked curiously: "How much gold did we receive in total today?"
"Three hundred and sixty grams!"
They really are a bunch of rich people.
Among the preparation materials for Adventurer Terminal, the most difficult to find is gold.
Although Pingtan Shelter and Giant City Shelter are two allies, they don't have much inventory in hand.
The territory used several tons of supplies to be able to trade for about two kilograms.
But now.
Just a team of emissaries from Sunny Harbor Sanctuary can produce more than 300 grams, which is enough to meet the needs of a thousand adventurer terminals.
"Let's try again next time. I feel like this won't be their first time here."
With the core of the nuclear power industry that can solve the urgent need, a little gold is no longer enough to make Somo excited again.
In order to prevent these people from detecting the signals emitted by the core during the day.
He also deliberately drove a motorcycle airship and took the core all the way to the west, just to deceive others.
Now.
With the group gone, it shouldn't be too abrupt to use the system to erase the signal transmission.
