Qu Jianlei never thought that his words could scare a child like this.
In fact, even Sofia was frightened by his words. She looked over in shock, "What's wrong?"
This kind of reaction is not unfamiliar to Qu Jianlei - when he was at Blue Star, people often had similar reactions to him.
He sighed inwardly: He still underestimated the pressure that Class A puts on ordinary people!
He coughed lightly, "I mean, this supernatural rice should be old rice, not new rice... How many years has it been stored?"
When the child heard this, he let out a long breath. He was really frightened and thought that the other party was going to take it by force.
He didn't see anything like half a million spent on the second floor. He only knew that if the other party wanted to rob him, all he needed was an idea.
Just don't rob it! He timidly explained, "This rice... is four years old, but it should be well preserved."
Four years old Chen Mi? Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, "Are you really embarrassed to sell it at such a high price?"
The child's mouth moved, and finally he lowered his head, but he did not raise or lower the price.
"That's it," Qu Jianlei didn't bother to argue with the waiter, "Bring over the other bag and I'll give you another fifty."
"Another bag?" Sofia looked at him in surprise, then looked at the child.
The child's body immediately froze there without any reaction.
"I'll go with you," Sofia sighed and took out a fifty silver dollar card.
She didn't know how Panda knew this, but it was obvious that he was right. Could this be the magic of Class A?
Anyway, the place where the child hides things is not far away. If she follows him, she can dispel the little one's suspicion.
Half an hour later, she came back alone, holding a small bag in her hand. The child had disappeared.
The two of them walked along the river weir to the parking place, and Sophia told a child's story.
It’s not surprising to say that the child’s father was a military warrior with special abilities and died on the front line.
These supernatural rice were brought home quietly by the father, hoping that his two children could lay a solid foundation in advance.
After he died in battle, the military also paid a large amount of pension, but the child's grandparents got into accidents one after another, and a lot of money was spent.
Later, the child's mother also became ill. As a military relative, she was able to get some discounts on treatment, but it was far from enough.
Now that the family is in ruins, he can only sell some good things to help his mother treat her illness.
This supernatural warrior was born into an ordinary family. He improved his family conditions and achieved a class leap by virtue of his excellent qualifications.
If he didn't get into trouble so early, he could still earn a lot of wealth.
Coupled with the resources he left behind, he might be able to create another supernatural warrior - at least a modified warrior.
However, it is a pity now that the dream of the family's rise has been shattered. Without enough family support, it has declined very quickly.
The children who might have become reformed warriors could only make a cautious living on the black market.
Qu Jianlei had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, but in the end, he still sighed with emotion.
"If the comprehensive strength is not enough, the ability to resist risks will be poor, and ordinary people will easily fall back into poverty."
After returning to the rented villa, he opened the supernatural rice and studied it carefully, and found that the energy inside was indeed very mild.
However, the rice grains have already shed their shells. Although Qu Jianlei doesn't know how to farm, he can guess that it is probably impossible to plant.
In fact, even if it could be planted, he would not try it - there must be many ways inside.
If the military can control the production of supernatural rice, it must have a set of operational barriers.
Controlling rice seeds should be only one of them. Even if it is possible to germinate rice grains that have taken off their hulls, there must be other constraints.
Both the wood attribute and the water attribute have the ability to spawn plants, and the absolute number of warriors with these two attributes is very large.
Under such circumstances, the private sector cannot successfully grow supernatural rice, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Qu Jianlei has a high self-esteem, but he is not arrogant. He is not so stubborn that he does not believe in things that others cannot do.
At noon the next day, he used up a bag of supernatural rice and stewed a pot of rice.
The taste of rice is average and the feeling of fullness is good. The key is that when digesting, you can feel the gentle energy moisturizing the whole body.
He has not completely recovered from the hidden injuries he suffered on Planet Zarif, and is said to have to rest for three to five months.
Now he was surprised to find that the energy of the supernatural rice could vaguely help repair the damaged body!
No wonder this rice has become a forbidden product of the military. It can speed up physical recovery, which means that warriors with special powers can frequently fight!
However, the nourishing effect has not been maintained until the evening, and it has been exhausted.
Super rice is really a good thing, but it's a pity that it's not only expensive, but also not easy to buy, otherwise it would be very good to eat every meal.
After a day's break, Qu Jianlei simmered another pot of rice in the evening.
The supernatural rice is now used up, but it’s good to be able to repair the body. It’s already stale rice anyway, so is it possible to keep it stale?
Just as the rice was simmering, someone knocked on the door. Qu Jianlei took a look and found that it was Teng Wenli coming again.
As soon as Teng Wenli entered the room, his nose twitched and he asked in shock, "Superpower rice?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded with a smile, "It's better to arrive early than to arrive late. I'll buy you a set of tableware."
"That's too much trouble," Teng Wenli said without any intention of refusing, "Wait a minute, I'll go home and get a bottle of wine."
He ran away in a hurry. Qu Jianlei blinked: Such a person with real power is so rare to have supernatural powers?
Teng Wenli left quickly and came back quickly. He came back not long after, carrying not only a bottle of wine, but also a bag of dried meat.
After the two of them took their seats, Qu Jianlei first poured the other party some brewed tea.
Teng Wenli took a few sips and said in surprise, "The tea is good, where did you get it?"
"Of course I bought it," Qu Jianlei looked at him in surprise, "for two thousand silver dollars."
I bought five kilograms of it for two thousand silver dollars. It is already the best tea in the mall. As a gourmet, I must enjoy it if I can.
The corner of Teng Wenli's mouth twitched and he gave a thumbs up, "Rich!"
Although he is a small official with some real power, he usually only accepts gifts from favors and is not particularly rich.
He had occasionally received tea of this quality as gifts, but he had to spend his own money to buy it... Sorry, I couldn't bear to part with it!
After a pause, he asked again, "Where did you get those supernatural rice?"
"Papeng," Qu Jianlei looked at him in surprise, "there are some on the black market."
"Buying supernatural rice on the black market?" Teng Wenli was a little speechless. Not only are you rich, but you are also brave.
Then he sighed, "Oh, I also said that you can really get some serious stuff. You can help me get some for my daughter's birthday party."
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei waved his hand with a wry smile, "Four years of Chen rice is really not a good thing."
"Chen rice is also very good," Teng Wenli said in surprise, "add some ordinary rice, which is just right for children to lay the foundation."
Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and reacted, "It's true that ordinary people can't handle this supernatural rice."
"Who says it's not?" Teng Wenli smiled bitterly, "So a lot of the supernatural rice on the black market is mixed with ordinary rice."
Only then did Qu Jianlei realize that there was indeed a certain reason why he co-authored the sale of those adulterated supernatural rice.
However, after all, it’s not appropriate to sell fake goods at the price of real goods, right?
After chatting for a while, Teng Wenli finally started to talk about the topic, "I asked you about reading in the library..."
"The city library is not easy to access, but you can go to the library in the old city, which is the earliest library."
Star 2 is very prosperous now, but it was built step by step from the pioneer star.
The construction of this planet was still after the Hope Star, and because it is in the same star field, it was named No. 2.
When building Star 2, the Green Water Riverside was selected for the location of the central city, and the initial construction center was the Confidence Zone.
Later, with the expansion of the urban agglomeration, the old city gradually lost its vitality, and the Confidence District was renamed the old city.
After all, everything in the old city is bad, but when it comes to historical heritage, it really does exist.
The books in the Xinxin District Library were later moved to the new city library, but the most complete copies are still in the old library.
Qu Jianlei didn't care about this, "As long as you have a book to read, thank you Brother Wenli."
"You're welcome," Teng Wenli waved his hand, hesitated, and then spoke hesitantly, "But, a deposit is required..."
"Originally I was still hesitant, wondering if you were willing to pay for it. Now that I know you have the money, it's easier to handle."
"This is a legitimate request," Qu Jianlei was not surprised at all, "knowledge has a price."
When he borrowed books from Geng Shougong, he also required a deposit.
"And..." Teng Wenli's expression was still tangled, "According to the rules, you are not a warrior with supernatural powers and you are not qualified to read."
"So you can only read books in your free time. Your main job is... work!"
Qu Jianlei was a little curious, "Working?"
Teng Wenli took a deep breath and said, "To put it simply, I helped you find a job as a temporary administrator of the library."
"I am responsible for organizing books and checking people who borrow books. The work is not very heavy. Most of the time I am very free."
"In your free time, you can read books. This is a job benefit... I said, what is your expression?"
The corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched: I also want to control my expression, but I really can't.
Librarian...the most awesome profession in Blue Star's history, you actually introduced it to me?
After pondering for a while, he handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Wenli, for your kindness. I am really grateful."
Then he asked again, "Since I am a librarian... even if it is temporary, what deposit do I need?"
"Because you are a stranger," Teng Wenli saw that he did not resist and was completely relieved.
"The library may seem unpopular, but it's actually a place with a relatively high level of confidentiality... You are a temporary person and are not editing."
"Anyway, as long as nothing happens, whether you want to change your job to a regular job or resign, your deposit will be refunded."
