The pale red sunset covered the ground.
After the rain and the weather cleared up, the weather in the wasteland became extremely peaceful. The sun was shining brightly for several days, sending out billowing heat waves.
As soon as he opened the door to the workshop, the heat coming from the shop immediately woke Somo up.
I dropped in all the way to Sun Quan's workshop next door.
After whispering a few words, the latter almost jumped up with excitement after hearing the news that the energy stone tool was successfully developed.
Su Mo smiled vaguely, closed the door of the workroom with Sun Quan, left early and went straight to the cafeteria.
Although Sun Quan has not touched a computer for eight years, as soon as the dust-laden memories in his brain are activated, the speed of his recovery is completely in line with the intelligence he displayed.
These days, after handing over the main control program of the fully automatic harvester to Sun Quan to complete.
Soma got extremely satisfactory results, which even exceeded expectations.
Of course, although this subsequent program will continue to undergo system upgrades and matching before it can be used,
But at a time when survival points can only be consumed but not accumulated, it is definitely valuable to be able to save dozens or hundreds of points.
"Hey, Master Su is going to have dinner~"
"Master Su came here very early today. Didn't he have a few bites at noon?"
"Haha, it's not easy for a busy man like Master Su to see you at this time today."
"I don't accept anyone, but I accept Master Su's professionalism!"
On the way to the canteen, workers passed by in small and large groups. After seeing Somo, they all came up to him and greeted him warmly.
And Sumo didn't hesitate to smile, and responded cheerfully.
After Zhang Min left, as he became more familiar with Zhang Bowen, he would occasionally share some business tips during breaks.
There are questions about how stores can increase profits and how to cultivate reserve talents.
There are tips on how to greet employees and how to protect yourself in the vicious competition.
When he was learning these things in the past, Mr. Zhang Da didn't even understand them himself. Most of them were gained through trial and error, which often left Zhang Bowen confused and he naturally didn't show any talent.
But now, he is being trained by Sumo in a targeted manner.
Zhang Bowen listened carefully and tried it more than once.
Although due to unfamiliarity, the effect still did not meet Somo's previous expectations.
But compared with the previous days when Zizai Liangfang was crowded, Liangfang has recently been able to maintain a rate of 30 to 50 workers joining every day.
In just three days, there were now more than 150 people in Liangfang, and it finally became a little lively.
"Brother Su, if you say that you are now the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang, my little grandson will believe it!"
"Go away, I think you, my little grandson, want to be the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang, right?"
After patting Sun Quan on the shoulder and seeing the latter running away with a smile, Su Mo couldn't help but quicken his steps and felt relieved.
Compared to the wasteland in the last calendar year, eight years later, let’s not talk about other territories.
In the Tianyuan territory he founded, Sumo felt so comfortable that he didn't want to leave.
There are even times when I look at the powerful territory, the powerful escorts, and all kinds of strange weapons and scientific research equipment.
Soma has an illusion.
Even without him, the territory will be more than 99% sure that it can survive the zombie wave that will come in a year's time.
Even if you have to pay some price, it is definitely within the tolerance range.
Maybe when other people come to the ruins, they have to run on the line of life and death every day, but when he comes in, it's as if he's on vacation, and it's extremely comfortable.
"Brother Su, I'm going to buy two bottles of soda. What do you want to drink?"
"Forget about the soda, bring me some iced tea."
"Okay~" Walking to the door of the canteen, he knew that Sumo was going to talk to the new cook Pei Zhao.
Sun Quan very wisely found an excuse, walked out of the back door of Liangfang, and walked all the way to the canteen not far away.
With room to perform, Sumo was not polite and stepped directly into the kitchen of the cafeteria.
On a hot day, there is no air conditioner in the kitchen that can cool down in civilized times.
As soon as we entered, the temperature instantly rose by five to six degrees. People who felt so hot were so hot that they wanted to jump into a puddle and roll around.
However, in the white mist, Pei Shao transformed into a chef and his three apprentices.
But he is still serious.
Make soup, stir-fry vegetables, and steam buns. Anyone who comes here will not be able to find any clues!
"Hey, Teacher Su is here, are you hungry?"
"I've cooked three dishes here. If you want to eat, I'll get you two white steamed buns. Do you want to fill your stomach first?"
Pei Shao, who was carrying three large iron basins and wearing a white chef's uniform, walked out of the back kitchen and placed them on the table outside in turn.
He first wiped the hot sweat from his head, then bent slightly and smiled.
After three or four days of contact, the two of them became somewhat familiar.
Pei Shao knew that he was from the Qingguo Territory. He was an ordinary person who suddenly got some luck, and then he collected enough points to buy his identity and joined the territory to make a living.
Su Mo knew that Pei Shao was also the head chef of a small territory nearby. He had no choice but to join Tianyuan Territory after the territory went bankrupt and he lost all the points he had accumulated.
In terms of identity, perhaps there are some loopholes in what Sumo said, and the anomalies can be found through traceability.
But here in Pei Shao, everything is perfect. Even if Su Mo goes to investigate, he will really find such a person.
Moreover, this man's experience and the story that happened to him will definitely match up with what Pei Shao is saying now, and there won't be any gaps.
In this case, I want to continue playing.
If there was no time limit, Sumo might continue to act stupid for a while and observe Pei Shao's changes in the past eight years.
but now.
"Master Pei, please stop working. I'm not hungry at all. I just want to ask you something."
"Oh? Teacher Su is so polite today. I'm just a bad old man who can cook some food. How can I help you?"
After being stunned for a moment, Pei Shao took off his chef's hat and shook his head repeatedly.
In eight years, he has reached the age of forty. I don't know whether it is because of the huge loss of energy from working all day long, or because of the incomparable suffering of the years in the wasteland.
In Sumo's memory, Pei Shao had aged more than five years, more than ten years.
In the real wasteland world, Pei Shao, who is in his early thirties, is as strong as a young man, with endless energy in his body.
But now, the corners of his eyes have begun to droop, and there are obvious grooves and wrinkles on his face.
Even his voice began to look older, and one could only vaguely judge how many ups and downs the territory had gone through in the past eight years.
"It's like this, Master Pei, I need to buy something, but I feel that only you can get these things, so I want to discuss it with you in advance."
"Of course, if you find it troublesome, just pretend I didn't say anything today."
Sumo glanced at the food preparation area in the kitchen with a smile, and the meaning was self-evident.
I don't know what he thought of, but Pei Shao surprisingly didn't refuse. He just nodded with a slightly strange look in his eyes, stood up and walked inside first.
The two of them walked one behind the other until they entered the food preparation area. Pei Shao closed the door and sat opposite Somo.
"Teacher Su, there is no one here. If you have anything to hide, just say it."
"Don't worry, I'm a bad old man, even though I'm not very capable, but I'm pretty good at talking about it. Don't worry, no matter what you said today, I'll pretend I've never heard it!"
Touching his waist, Pei Shao's oily face broke out into a smile.
It is not difficult to see that now he has completely assumed the identity of a "kind old man", with almost no flaws visible.
But I know the inside story, when I look at his appearance.
However, Sumo could hardly hold back the laughter in his heart and almost laughed out loud.
After coughing lightly and knowing that there was no surveillance here and no one was eavesdropping, Sumo didn't mince words and spoke directly.
"Master Pei, you know, I have been doing a lot of experiments recently, and the materials have been wasted a lot."
"Some of these things can be purchased by the Zhang family for my use, but other things require certain permissions to purchase."
"For example?" Not understanding what Su Mo meant, Pei Shao's heart sank, but he looked calm.
"For example, level 8 deformed alloy, level 7 rigid alloy, level 6 hard plastic alloy, level 6 variable gears, and level 6 all-alloy tracks."
After talking about more than a dozen different materials in succession, Su Mo muttered while keeping his eyes on Pei Shao's face.
Sure enough, when he heard that none of the materials were lower than Level 6, Pei Shao's expression finally changed slightly and he began to become indifferent.
"Teacher Su, do you know what this level six alloy means?"
"I know, but any scientific research product above Category 3 requires level 6 or above alloys to obtain the maximum material increase, so that it can exert its maximum power."
"No, what I'm talking about is, do you know how many trading points are needed for a piece of this sixth-grade alloy?" Pei Shao shook his head and watched Su Mo pretending to be dumbfounded, and continued in a deep voice.
"Level 6 alloy, 10,000 contribution points per kilogram, requires D-level contribution to purchase. Level 7 alloy, 100,000 contribution points per kilogram, requires B-level contribution to purchase."
"In addition, if it involves high-end models of alloy types, the price and contribution will gradually increase, specifically"
Sumo recited the prices of various alloys in detail, and Sumo was waiting for Pei Shao to take the first step and interrupt him.
But surprisingly, sitting across from him, Pei Shao calmed down after the initial restlessness, and even had an elusive meaning brewing in the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until he finished speaking that Pei Shao continued: "Teacher Su, are you sure I can buy these things?"
"I'm not sure, but I believe you have the qualifications, right?"
Playing tricks on each other, Pei Shao is willing to be the "Riddler".
With all the restrictions of the game, Sumo did not try to expose them, but secretly continued to get stuck on the edge of exposing his identity, and continued to test the bottom line of the game.
"May I know what you want these alloys to be used for?"
Under information asymmetry, even an old fox may fall into a hunter's trap.
After hesitating for a long time, looking at Sumo who was still as steady as a rock, Pei Shao finally couldn't hold back his breath and let it out first.
"Sorry, I can't tell others what I want to do yet, but I can guarantee you"
"When the time is right, I will definitely tell you everything you want to know."
When Somo said the last words full of hints, his spirit was completely tense and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
But fortunately, this faint voice-over was not noticed by the game.
Or because in the cognition of the game, based on Pei Shao's previous thinking and logic, he would never agree for these reasons now.
In short, even though Pei Shao showed a hint of surprise, the game interface still showed no intention of jumping out.
Half a moment.
It's like I've done a lot of mental construction, and I've fully considered the consequences of doing so.
Pei Shao thought about it for a while and then said slowly:
"Okay, since you think I can get these things, then I promise you, as long as you can gather enough trading points for these materials, I can help you by asking some of my old acquaintances."
"They may be qualified to purchase these materials."
"But the premise is that you can't tell anyone about this illegal operation. Remember, it's anyone!"
"I understand this. Don't worry, Master Pei. If nothing else, I have a door that is as tight as yours."
He gave up when he was ready, for fear that his behavior would be close to "turning the table" and completely detonate the bottom line in Pei Shao's heart.
This will lead to unpredictable subsequent reactions.
After getting the result he was satisfied with, Sumo immediately stood up and took two steps forward to open the closed door.
The light shone in and shone on Pei Shao's face, making the wrinkles in his skin a little deeper.
But for some reason, looking at Somo's figure in the sunset, a trace of nostalgia suddenly appeared in Pei Shao's eyes full of "traces of time".
"Master Pei, Master Pei?"
"The time is coming soon. Do you want to take charge of the overall situation?"
He stretched out his hand and waved it in the light. The afterglow of the setting sun was naturally cut into several strips by his palm, and then quickly recovered.
It wasn't until three or five times that Pei Shao, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly reacted and stood up suddenly at a speed that was not suitable for his age and body.
He paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and said continuously:
"It's time to prepare, it's time to prepare!"
"Teacher Su, it's time for you to prepare."
Pointing in the direction of the canteen, the two looked at each other and both laughed.
But unlike before, after an in-depth trial.
Soma got what he wanted.
Pei Shao also seemed to have verified some of his ideas, and his attitude began to change slightly.
Everything seems to have stayed the same, but also seems to have changed, stuck at a perfect balance point.
Tianyuan Territory, Fishman City.
Living in a hotel with a height of seven floors, Zhang Min sat in a prime position on the fifth floor, looking directly at the direction of the castle.
Unknowingly, she had been waiting for four days in this fishy city.
Every morning at six o'clock, she would get up on time, sit on the balcony and look at the people coming in and out of the castle to see if there was the "Second Prince" Yu Chenghui she was following.
Until noon, until evening.
Even during meal time, Zhang Min would greet the maid and take her directly to the balcony, for fear of missing the opportunity to "bump into" Yu Chenghui.
However, God did not fulfill people's wishes.
Four days later, she still found nothing.
Even though she was familiar with the tall murloc guards at the door, she was unable to find out the specific time when the second prince Yu Chenghui would return.
Every time, the answer I got was the same.
Maybe a week, maybe tomorrow!
"Miss, why don't you go and take a rest, and we'll help you keep an eye on it."
Seeing that Zhang Min's eyes were filled with frightening red bloodshot eyes, the two maids who were brought over couldn't help but worried and advised him.
But unfortunately, Zhang Min, who was already obsessed with her words, turned a deaf ear to them and was completely immersed in his own world.
If you get close to her mouth, you can even hear her whispering:
"Come back quickly, come back quickly"
"Miss."
Fishman City is located to the north, and the scorching heat of the sun is a bit more severe than that of Sangtian Town.
Sitting on the balcony from noon until the sun was about to set, Zhang Min's face was already covered with traces of sweat.
Watching the last ray of light on the horizon about to set, the castle still looked motionless.
For some reason, her vision suddenly went dark, and she suddenly fell onto the balcony railing.
This time, it was so hard and fast that her body was about to fly out of the guardrail and fall directly from the fifth floor.
But fortunately, one of the two little maids has not left completely.
The moment he heard the sound from behind, he quickly turned his head and almost caught Zhang Min, causing her to knock her head heavily on the railing.
Pfft.
External fire attacks the body, internal fire attacks the heart.
Although Zhang Min woke up after this collision, his throat suddenly felt sweet, and traces of bright red blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Looking at this look, it is obvious that his vitality has been damaged.
"Miss, you must rest today!"
Seeing Zhang Min's miserable appearance, the two maids were so frightened that they couldn't help crying.
At this time, the severe pain coming from his head gradually made Zhang Min wake up.
"I'm not okay, just take a rest."
After speaking a few words intermittently, Zhang Min felt that all his strength was rapidly disappearing, as if he was a terminally ill person.
Even though she was being carried by two maids, she didn't have any strength at all and her whole body was limp.
step.
step.
After guarding the balcony for several days, it began to retreat rapidly.
With the last trace of nostalgia, Zhang Min seemed to want to take one last look at the place where she had been staying for several days.
But just when I turned my head, I saw a flag suddenly raised from the castle not far away.
She is alive!
In the frightened eyes of the two maids, it was like Zhang Min was suddenly injected with adrenaline. It was clear that Zhang Min was extremely weak just now.
The next second, it fell directly to the ground and bounced up suddenly, as if dozens of windings had been added to the toy that had lost its power.
"Prince Yuyu Chenghui is back. Come on, come and dress me up quickly."
"I want to see the second prince, I want to see him!"
