At the end of the day, Gu He drank half a cup of delicious wolfberry water, and the holy water increased a little, reaching 18%.
Da Bei Bei uses 5% to prepare food and has already gained 13%. The return on investment is really good.
The voice function is turned off, and there is nothing unusual except for the cup body vibrating from time to time.
But early the next morning, Gu He screamed in the room of Bantian's apartment, "It's sour!" The half cup of delicious wolfberry water that was not drunk had a faint smell of sourness, "Big cup, this?"
"Are you really a human? I heard that people are very smart. This is not a video game item that will last for a year. Except for wine, wolfberry water, milk tea and coffee, it is recommended that you drink them all on the same day." It replied.
"I really hope you can be so smart when facing Jianbao in the future." Gu He was quite depressed.
Well, 2.5% of the holy water cost was wasted, and today I started feeling depressed again.
He twisted the smart cup and left Itada's apartment. He had just walked out of the alley and was about to walk towards the fish pond.
But she saw a black off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road. Lorna was leaning on the vehicle, with her hands folded across her chest, looking towards the alley.
Pedestrians were walking on the street, and the early winter wind was blowing her medium-short black hair. She was wearing a red denim jacket, long legs, and black leather pants and boots. She was tall and had a beautiful face. She looked very dashing when she stood there.
"Lorna?" Gu He walked over. He saw her several times on the street yesterday and called her, but she didn't stop.
Are you here to see him this early in the morning? What's wrong?
He looked at the leather pants she was wearing today and saw that they were nothing special.
"Hey." Lorna also looked at him, "Have you asked Lao Cai to check your brain?"
Gu He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry that day. I may have offended you with some words, but I really didn't mean any harm."
"Oh..." Lorna rolled her light green eyes wide and said in a drawl without looking at him, "Then do you want to see my leather pants?"
"Yes." Gu He said immediately, his heart skipping a beat.
Despite the two tragedies of the death of the vinyl record treasure and the cup treasure being eaten by the big cup, as the so-called peak-end effect, the matter of activating strange objects is not over yet. If there is a good peak or a good ending, it can be done.
Happy.
"Then get in the car." Lorna turned around, opened the door, and got into the driver's seat.
"Where to go?" Gu He walked over and got into the passenger seat.
"Let's go to a place where there are not so many people. There is bread in the car. Let's eat it if we don't have breakfast." Lorna started the car and drove away.
As soon as Gu He got in the car, he couldn't wait to search inside the car. Sure enough, he saw several clothes bags on the back seat, including some folded trousers. There seemed to be some in the back compartment.
"You really have a lot of pants, where do you usually put them?" he couldn't help but ask.
"What girl has less clothes? I put some clothes with some sisters from the mercenary group who share an apartment." Lorna muttered, "Yesterday I took back all my leather pants like an idiot..."
"You're not stupid, this is useful." Gu He couldn't tell whether the pants were there or not. There were too many of them, which affected his senses.
Lorna turned on the car stereo and played a mariachi song, "Let's go to the bone and blood area, there's not enough people there."
What!? Gu He was stunned and turned to look at her, the bone and blood area? Isn't that nuclear contamination there?
My friend, this is not a good idea...
"Why, are you scared?" Lorna watched him from the corner of her eyes, "If you don't want to go, just get off the car. I'm going today."
"It's not about whether you're afraid or not, it's about whether you can." Gu He said carefully, "It's not like I haven't been to dangerous places with you, but danger is different from losing your life."
"The nuclear radiation there is not that big. The bodies of extraordinary people can still bear it. Usually there are extraordinary teams going in to hunt alien species. It's not a problem if you are a doll... Forget it, it's boring. It's not normal for you to want to go.
…”
Lorna stopped the car and said, "It's nothing. I don't usually go there myself. It's just impulsive. You can get out of the car and see you later."
Gu He was still sitting in the passenger seat and didn't move. She wanted to go back to the bone and blood area, which was actually very important.
The bodies of extraordinary beings are indeed different. If that's all right...
"I'm afraid of losing my hair, and I don't want to be bald," he said. "But it seems that Lao Cai can do hair transplantation, so I went there."
Lorna put her hands on the steering wheel and tapped lightly with her fingers. After a long while, she stepped on the accelerator again.
"Don't be afraid, the bone and blood area is a treasure." She said while driving, and gradually started to laugh: "There are many alien species, there are many natural settings for disaster movies, there are all kinds of houses where you can live casually, and there are also...
Garden."
Gu He picked up a bag of bread in the car and ate it, "Can one person live in a building?"
"How about if you are a bit promising, you can live in two buildings! They say you should go to the Walled Area to hide. I don't think it can compare to the Bone and Blood Area."
The off-road vehicle drove on the road, first exiting Jue Street, then leaving Kabukicho and heading to the southwest of the city, passing the Pharaoh District, and then continued to the south.
They still have a long way to go before reaching the bone and blood area.
…
[Warning, you will enter a nuclear contaminated area]
A tattered, rusty low street sign stood in front of him, covered with graffiti with rude words and symbols.
On the dilapidated and deserted road, there was only one heavily equipped off-road vehicle heading towards the road sign. The car suddenly accelerated and hit the road sign.
"Be careful!" Gu He exclaimed, "Don't crash the car!"
Bang bang! With a heavy sound, it was already on the verge of collapse, but the short road sign inserted in the mud on the roadside was knocked away.
The off-road vehicle also experienced a violent bump, and the front fender was shaken by the impact.
"Hahaha!" Lorna laughed, "I didn't like this thing last time I came in. Who are you trying to scare?"
Gu He exhaled, still feeling a little worried, and looked at the wasteland ahead through the car window. It was very quiet between heaven and earth. There were only a few bare trees and stubborn weeds on the depressing plain.
Lorna hummed along with the rock songs playing on the stereo, but she was obviously covering up her complicated emotions.
"Welcome to the bone and blood area, my sweet home." She said mockingly, "Don't be surprised when you see animal corpses and human corpses. Black rivers, broken buildings, and ruins are also the scenery here."
Gu He quickly saw what Lorna said.
There is not only nuclear radiation here, but also a pungent chemical acid smell that fills the air from time to time.
The desolation and weirdness here is different from the voodoo area, mud pond, freight area and other places.
Lorna gradually became calmer from the excitement she had just entered the bone and blood area. Although she would curse "fuck" because of what she saw, Gu He could see that her mood was constantly falling, and it would continue to fall...
Almost all the things she carried were here, and this desolate place was chosen one by one for her to see.
The off-road vehicle drove from the wilderness into the original urban area. Gu He saw more ruins. Some buildings on the side of the street were still there, and some collapsed. No one was cleaning them. Weeds were growing everywhere, and vines were spreading from the walls of the buildings.
.
"You see?" Lorna added, "Compared to the Bone and Blood District, the Hanging Garden District is nothing like a hanging garden."
Gu He was almost amused by her, but some buildings were covered with vines from high to the ground, giving them a ruined and spectacular look.
There was a period of chaos in the Bone and Blood District. Not only was the city bombed by a bank "by mistake", but during the initial chaos, it also became a paradise for gangsters and butchers. They looted things that people could not take away and beat the place to pieces.
Worse.
Nowadays, there is not a single person in this huge ruins.
They were not going to Bone and Blood Town, but by chance they could see clothes drying on the balcony of a building or eyes hidden in the dark.
There are too many people in this city. There are all kinds of refugees and lost people. There will always be some people who don’t care about nuclear radiation, materials, water and electricity. They live in the ruins of bones and blood, walk alone, and die alone in the decay.
.
Gu He had already inquired about the past events and conditions of the Bone and Blood Area, but now that he was seeing it with his own eyes, he still didn't know what to say.
Facing such a scene, no words can be said.
He just felt that he knew Lorna a little better.
If she wasn't driving an off-road vehicle, it would have been impossible to drive on such a broken road.
"Where are we going?" he asked Lorna. She had not spoken for a while and was just immersed in driving.
"The amusement park in the city center, go there... I haven't been back for many years actually. Well, I haven't been there since I left when I was a child, and I don't really know the way. I just look for it."
Lorna stared forward, then fell silent again.
Gu He didn't know her plan, so he looked around outside the car window to help her search.
There was no navigation, and she didn't know the way very well. It was really hard to find such a big place.
The off-road vehicle drove among the ruins for a long time, but seemed to have lost its way.
"I can't find it, maybe it's gone a long time ago..." Lorna became less and less hopeful, "It was blown up and demolished..."
But maybe she was lucky, maybe Lorna has always been a hunter extraordinary, and her memory still works on a subconscious level to help her find her target.
Gu He suddenly saw from one side of the car window that there was a vague corner of a Ferris wheel behind the gap in the building in the distance, and he quickly said: "Lorna, I found it, look at it!"
Lorna turned her head and looked around, her expression changed, "Yes, it should be... let's go take a look!"
She was a little impatient, and the car drove faster, but the road was particularly shabby, and it was even more difficult to drive over it.
When the off-road vehicle passed through the ruins of the streets, the front suddenly became clear. There were some abandoned old vehicles in the parking lot outside the amusement park, but they were also empty. The Ferris wheel stood inside.
"Come on, let's go down and play!" Lorna parked the car casually, opened the door and jumped out.
When Gu He got out of the car holding the thermos cup, he couldn't help but look at the leather pants in the car...
"Haha." Lorna was already running away over there, walking like a child, just like when she first went to the park, looking around, looking here and there, but she couldn't see enough.
As she walked along, she saw two scenes before her eyes.
The deserted environment, collapsed and tattered tents, rusty merry-go-rounds, and various dead amusement rides were all in a mess. People were walking in a hurry, and a stuffed bear was left on the ground to become moldy.
But this place used to be so lively, with crowds of people, laughter, merry-go-rounds constantly rotating, machines and equipment in bright and lively colors, and the tents and amusement houses had different mysteries and fun.
The ruins that had always existed in her memory appeared again, and she was in it again.
Lorna walked around here, jumped on one of the merry-go-round horses, and walked over there to play with the bumper cars.
When Gu He saw her smile and heard her laughter, he couldn't help but smile, feeling happy for her in his heart.
It turns out that this is Lorna's amusement park, it's very beautiful...
"Here, you idiot, come over here." At this time, Lorna walked to an open space paved with colorful bricks and stopped.
"Huh?" Gu He looked around. It seemed that this was originally a place for some business stalls, and there were also a few remaining retail trucks.
The retail trucks were all cute in appearance, but they were already hit by the strong wind and hit a guardrail, and they were all about to fall apart.
He saw Lorna looking down at a colored brick at her feet, wondering what it meant to her.
When he went over and took a look, he saw that the colored brick had some incisions, like some mysterious symbols.
Lorna was recalling something, and suddenly said with a smile: "That witch sister, I remember she used to set up a stall here to tell people tarot cards, and her calculations were very accurate, so the business was very good, and I would read it every time I came here to play.
She counts for a while."
"So that's it." Gu He understood and understood the meaning of leather pants better...
"I made these carvings. Sister Witch asked me to carve them. She said she would help me find this place in the future."
Lorna smiled and said, "Really? But as long as you come back, you can interpret this kind of thing any way you want. It's just a living thing."
"But these small stalls are really interesting." She looked at the stalls that no longer existed around her, and hazy memories emerged like candy, with a sweet color and the old taste that had never been lost.
She walked to another stall nearby, "I remember they sold balloons here. The balloons were very beautifully made and had different animal toys. Every child who walked by would buy one."
"What about you?" Gu He walked over and asked.
"I don't need to buy it, just take it." Lorna put her hands away, "The boss knows my parents, and he always gives us the most majestic one so that we can show off and be invincible in the entire park."
Gu He thought about that scene, "For example, a fucking bear?"
Lorna raised her head and smiled, "Yeah, fucking bears, fucking tigers, fucking elephants and so on."
She continued walking around these stalls with her long legs, "This is the one selling barbecue skewers, this is the one selling ring toss, and this is the one selling soda. It's not the kind of factory stuff, it's the boss's unique secret recipe."
"The taste was sweet and refreshing..." Lorna recalled, smiling and shaking her head: "I can't explain how I could explain clearly what I ate. Anyway, I haven't drunk such a good soda since then.
.”
When Gu He heard what she said, his saliva couldn't help but gulp. It was another delicious food. I really wanted to try it if I had the chance...
"I have an idea!" Lorna said suddenly and excitedly, "While I can recall it clearly now, you can feel it with me. I am thinking about this feeling in my mind, and you can also taste it more or less."
"Ah." Gu He then thought about it, maybe it really existed, and immediately released the blood thread to connect with Lorna.
Soon, he knew how tight the leather pants she was wearing were, and of course her mood.
It's juicy, and there's a sweetness in it, like soda.
"How is it, do you taste it?" Lorna asked, her voice a little soft, "Does it taste good?"
"With such a shared feeling, I want to taste the real thing..." Gu He was really eloquent.
Suddenly, a situation startled both of them. The thermos cup in his hand shook and twisted, and he made the sound of stainless steel being clanged: "You have to taste big cups, big cups are just for eating people.
I can make soda for you!”
Lorna's eyes widened, she was much more shocked than him, "What the hell is this?"
The sweetness of the soda disappeared, and the gas inside was boiling. There was a lot of gas and it was very strong.
"Uh..." Gu He scratched his head with a bloody thread, his eyes widening, "This is Da Bei Bei."
"I am Da Bei Bei." The thermos cup was twisting and turning, and the light of the flashlight shone on Lorna's chest, where the denim jacket was held up. "You are also Da Bei Bei, and we are all Da Bei Bei."
"You'd better explain to me." Lorna's voice was deep, "why your thermos can talk!"
"This thing has become a magical object." Gu He said bitterly, "Listen, my Holy Grail program can activate the magical object..."
He decided to tell Lorna and let her help keep it a secret, activate the function of the strange object, and the big cup was born.
Lorna's expression changed when she heard this. If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, this would definitely be the most ridiculous thing she had heard this year. It was even more ridiculous than whether her father was dead or not. It would win the Best Bullshit Award of the Year in Streamer City.
kind……
"Then you said you wanted to check my leather pants." Lorna asked again, "Is it because of this? Are there any 'pants treasures'?"
"Yes..." Gu He said, "I seem to have a mysterious feeling."
Lorna nodded silently and took a long breath.
She looked at the thermos cup again, "How do you want to eat people? Tell me?"
"Pass people to me and I can eat them!" Da Bei Bei said excitedly, "I am a strange thing, but I want to be a human. If I want to be a human, I have to eat people. Everyone is cannibal. If you eat
Human, I became human.”
"Lorna, this thing is a bit artificially retarded..." Gu He couldn't help but was embarrassed by it.
"Human flesh? Personality material?" Lorna asked casually, "I tell you, I don't know how fucking envious you are of not having to be a human being. Being a human being is all kinds of nonsense, that's all."
"Ingredients!" Da Bei Bei suddenly shouted, "Give me the ingredients for soda drinks, and I'll make them for you!"
Gu He's heart suddenly thought, something is wrong, Lorna seems to have hit the mark by accident...
Human ingredients refer to personality ingredients, right? He asked: "Da Bei Bei, are you passing on the personality ingredients of delicious food to you, so that you can add recipes after tasting them?"
"I want delicious food." Da Bei Bei said firmly, "I want Da Bei Bei's delicious food like hers."
Lorna's brows tightened, and Gu He quickly said: "What you mean is that food must be truly unforgettable, meaningful, and touching people's hearts in order to be considered delicious. In order for that kind of personality material to work, it doesn't just have to be delicious. It's
?”
"I mean, big cups," it squirmed, "just big cups."
"I'm telling you, you'd better make some fucking soda for me..." Lorna grinned at the thermos cup, "otherwise you'll have to turn from a rare item into a waste. It's just right for the Bone and Blood Zone."
She looked at Gu He, still maintaining sympathy, "I will give you the personality materials now, continue!"
Since Lorna was going to try this, Gu He became serious and switched the perspective to the neural network. Lorna was recalling the taste of the amusement park soda, which was filled with colorful data.
He had experience doing this kind of thing, so he dragged the data into the container and became a piece of personality raw material.
Then, disconnecting the empathy, he focused his blood thread and his mind on the big cup, trying to transfer this personality material data to it. The cup body suddenly flashed with various lights as if it was malfunctioning, and the wolfberry water in the cup
It was churning endlessly.
Because of this connection, he gained some new insights. The so-called "cannibalism" was indeed about eating related personality materials.
But Da Bei Bei doesn't eat all the ingredients. He is very picky, he listens all the time, and he also needs experience. He can't go to the Sanjiao area to buy some personality ingredients to make recipes for him. He can only give them to him when he asks.
And it only wants the "big cup" it likes at certain moments.
Suddenly, there was a clang, and Da Bei Bei said: "Your delicious soda is ready."
Only then did Gu He know that when entering a new recipe, the first meal preparation would be carried out, and there was no need to consume holy water.
"Well..." He unscrewed the thermos cup and looked at it. He saw that the original wolfberry water had turned into the color of cola and was still bubbling. Lorna came over and looked at it, "Give me a taste."
She was not afraid of danger. She took the thermos cup and poured a sip of soda into her mouth.
Gu He looked at her and saw Lorna smacking her lips, licking her red lips with her tongue, and suddenly smiled again.
She nodded to him, brought the thermos cup to his mouth, and poured him a sip. He drank it, and a refreshing and sweet taste suddenly flooded into his heart and spleen.
This taste is much clearer and more real than the one I could taste just by relying on memories and empathy.
It's like a hazy dream came true, all in this glass of soda.
"It tastes good." Gu He said, letting her take another sip, and Lorna poured another sip for herself.
The two of them just shared this, drinking this soda that has long since disappeared in this city.
Gu He looked at the deserted amusement park around him, and everything felt more real. It was like returning to the lively days here, the laughter and shouts of people playing, the divination words of the witch sister, the naughty running of the little girl...
All these scenes came to mind along with the taste of soda.
What is delicious is not soda, but these colors, these precious things in life.
[Holy water energy: 33%, ↑15%]
[Holy Grail, program level: Intermediate 10%, ↑10%]
Gu He noticed the prompt box in his mind and was happy, but he realized that this was a matter of course.
"It seems to be this flavor, it seems." Lorna smacked her lips and looked at the big cup in her hand with a smile, "Okay, okay, silly thing, you can continue to be a rare item, and we will open a drink shop with you later.
!”
"I don't want to be a strange thing, I want to be a human being!" Da Bei Bei said, "I can eat people. If I eat people, I will become a human being."
"Then you eat, what else can you do? I still have a lot of delicious food in my mind." Lorna rolled her eyes and thought, "Once I was in the wild and survived by drinking my own urine.
How about this?"
"Lorna, we can't take the initiative to add it. Dabeibei will trigger it on its own..." Gu He said and realized, "It's like this time, everything is right before it wants to eat. Besides, urine is not delicious!
"
"Didn't you just say that it needs to be meaningful? Do you think it would be meaningless to drink your own urine to survive!"
Lorna lost her temper and walked in the direction she came from, "Let's go and look at my pants."
Gu He caught the thermos cup she threw and quickly followed it, eager to try it. He was more anxious and curious than she was.
Not long after, the two returned to the same deserted parking lot outside the amusement park and walked to the heavily equipped off-road vehicle.
Lorna opened the rear door and said, "It's all inside, see for yourself."
Gu He took out a pair of tight leather pants from the top of his pocket and looked at it intently. Wasn't it...
Taking another one is no, taking another one is not either...
Only then did he truly realize that Lorna had so many leather pants. He could have opened a second-hand leather pants stall in the small flea area, selling various styles, including shiny ones, matte ones, tight ones, and others.
Not tight.
Some are worn out, and some are relatively new. Most of the trousers are black, but there are also red, gray, and colorful...
Gu He took a pair of leather pants and held them in his hands, feeling the leather attentively, calling out to their sleeping souls.
"Is it enough to just take a look?" Lorna once again leaned on the car with her hands folded across her chest, squinting at his operations, and was extremely speechless at this scene, "Don't smell it, just smell it or something?"
"Well, if you have rare items, they will shine..." Gu He responded, putting down another pair of leather pants.
"Go ahead and make it more nonsense." Lorna raised her eyes and said, "It will set a new level of nonsense in this city."
The leather pants that had been inspected and appraised were put to dry on the roof of the car. The off-road vehicle was covered with various leather pants. After the bags of leather pants in the back row were inspected, the bags of pants in the trunk were also taken out one by one.
Tasting.
When Gu He got a pair of worn black matte tight leather pants, he could tell they were different at first glance.
His heart was racing, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, as if he heard the music of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" playing.
"These leather pants..." Gu He looked at Lorna and asked.
"Which one?" Lorna looked at it, "I don't know, they are all worn like this, like the one worn by Sister Witch."
Gu He listened and looked at the black leather trousers again. He concentrated his attention suddenly. Suddenly, the leather trousers emitted a dazzling light and rushed straight away. There was also a prompt box in his mind. The rare item: Bronze!
He couldn't help but raise the black leather trousers with both hands. The cold wind blew through the trousers, making them shine.
"My child, you are the chosen one, you are the treasure."
"You're crazy..." Lorna burst out laughing. Seeing Gu He lifting up a little lion like a baboon, she even cursed herself: "What are you and I doing? You are really two idiots...
…”
"Lorna, your off-road vehicle and these leather pants are all made of bronze." Gu He said seriously, "You are really good. Even if you are an idiot, you are still a very good idiot."
"Isn't that awesome?" Lorna smiled even more uncontrollably.
Before coming to this ruins, she thought she would be in a bad mood, and she didn't feel very good along the way.
But now, she just wants to laugh, it's so damn funny.
"Wait a minute... these pants seem to be the ones I wore when I drank urine!" Lorna suddenly exclaimed.
Gu He was holding the leather pants with both hands and almost threw them out when he heard this...
Calm down, calm down. To accomplish such a feat, she must take off her leather pants. It has nothing to do with pants. Maybe the meaning of pants is to break away from the confinement and gain the freedom of being a pair of pants.
"I'm kidding, who would remember this kind of thing? Maybe it is, maybe it's not." Lorna laughed again.
"I knew that Pan Bao was innocent!"
"Okay, let's talk about it. When you have enough holy water, you can activate a magical item user for me first."
"Sure, it's up to you to decide whether you want to be a dirt bike or a pants person."
"I can tell you now, of course it's the car, and I'll leave the pants for you."
Lorna laughed loudly while watching the bastard continue to identify the remaining leather pants, "Maybe the pants are twins?" he said.
"Gu He, I find that you are quite capable of talking nonsense sometimes." Lorna said, and Gu He responded with a chuckle.
She also laughed, but the nonsense was quite interesting. She was different from others, she was a very special kind of idiot...
How long have they known each other? Four months, maybe. It’s not a long time, but it’s not a short time in Flowing Light City either.
What they had experienced in the past four months was enough to kill them many times.
I really don’t know what will happen next day or in the next four months.
Luo Xun thought about this and began to look around.
Gradually, she looked at the dilapidated Ferris wheel in the park, wondering if that thing could still spin, maybe.
"We will come here to play more in the future." Lorna said, "It's just the two of us, come and play more."
