Chapter 61

The transaction is over.

After leaving the wetland park.

The angry sun Shiqi finally couldn't help complaining loudly.

"It's incredible!"

"I've never seen such a stingy blue coat. What about the modesty of civilized people? What about the good reciprocity? These greedy gophers!"

"I shouldn't have fantasies about them!"

In the tavern in the trading center of Honghe Town, four of the ten stories most talked about are related to the blue coat.

Some people once received big and small bags of good things from those blue coats because of a few words of flattery. Others went in with a pile of colorful paper to cheat food and drink. When they were blown out, they still carried a big bag of "survival materials" prepared for him.

These blue coats have almost become synonymous with people's silly money. Their stories are often inseparable from the word "get rich overnight".

Sun Shiqi didn't think he could pry open the treasure of the shelter with one mouth, as rumored in the market. It seems that normal business is also a good choice.

However

The reaction of these people was beyond his expectation.

He couldn't help wondering whether these guys would be disguised by a group of refugees.

Will there really be a blue coat to build a house on the ground?

Besides, in the end, he didn't see where the shelter was

The gunman walking in front looked back at him, then looked at the bulging package on the back of the double headed cow, and asked.

"So the deal lost money?"

He has worked as a bodyguard for many years and has dealt with many businessmen. He has rarely seen them lose money.

"It's not a loss," Sun Shiqi said angrily, "but I could have made more!"

“……”

The gunman was speechless, took his attention away from him and continued to look around to guard.

Sun Shiqi pulled out the account book from his pocket with a painful expression on his face.

10 kilograms of salt was only changed to 30 kilograms of bacon.

If he hadn't planned to go to Stonehenge on this trip, even if someone pointed a gun at his head, he would never accept such a harsh price!

But unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

It is impossible for him to really drag the salt to boulder to exchange it for daily necessities and electrical appliances, exchange it for grain at the farm, and then exchange the grain from the farm for meat.

This time, at least he had to toss him for at least four days, or even a week!

The road in the city is much more difficult than outside, not to mention the coming winter. Both people and aliens are frantically preparing for the coming winter.

On the waste soil, this time node is more dangerous than ever.

No matter the time cost or the risk, he can't take that detour.

The man, obviously, saw this.

Not only the 10 kilos of salt, but also the ten wheeled rifles and two bags of bullets he carried with him, were also undervalued by the guy for various reasons.

Arms may not be valuable in Boulder City, but no survivor stronghold will refuse to hoard such weapons that are easy to maintain, durable and cheap. It is more than enough to exchange the bodies of three to four mutant hyenas. You can kill 60 or 70 kilograms of meat by hiring a butcher at will.

That's 70 kilograms of meat!

Isn't it too much to change 30 kilograms of air dried meat? It's really not good. 20 kilograms is not a loss!

However, the man was only willing to give him 10 kilograms of pickled bacon for each gun!

As he tried his best, the man nodded for the sake of friendship and asked him to take an extra kilogram of smoked fish.

This damn groundhog!

"I don't quite understand, but don't you just make money?" said the gunman as if nothing had happened. "Contentment is always happy. I always hear people say that."

"Hehe, what can you understand? Contentment can't make a lot of money."

Sun Shiqi didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just waved his pen impatiently, buried himself in the road and continued to calculate the account book while muttering.

"... at least 60kg of crude salt must be exchanged for these dried meat. No, at least 80kg is not a wasted trip. I have to think about which mine to do this business with."

The gunman glanced at him, then at the goods on the back of the double headed cow, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Then you should be pious and grateful."

"At least I'm happy to accompany you here."

……

130 kilograms of bacon and 10 kilograms of smoked fish were replaced by 10 kilograms of crude salt, 10 runner rifles and two large bags.

Chu Guang himself is very satisfied with this transaction.

Of course, the timing is also opportune.

Near the cold winter, whoever has food is his father. In addition, the prey has gone to hibernate. Occasionally, game can be saved by throwing it in the snow, but salt is not so important.

But when spring comes next year, it will be another situation.

After all, it's a bit whimsical to make air-dried meat in spring and summer and want to save it in winter without any salt.

But then again, at that time, do outposts still need to make money by buying food?

Chu Guang doesn't think so.

In short, for Chu Guang, the production cost of 130 kg of bacon and 10 kg of smoked fish is only 60 ~ 80 silver coins.

Even according to the purchase price of the granary, it is only 140 silver coins.

However, at present, players sell their prey directly to the granary. For the time being, they don't slaughter their prey and smoke dried meat, so it's more appropriate to calculate the production cost directly.

In fact, no matter which price is used, it doesn't matter.

After all, Chu Guang now has 500 kilograms of the same game currency.

"Money" is really just a number for him as a manager

……

Alone, he dragged these coins into the shelter and put them in an empty room without anyone. Looking at these glittering coins, Chu Guang couldn't help smiling happily on his face.

If only we could exchange them all for chips.

Let alone power armor, is it enough to buy an aircraft?

If someone sells

Money that does not enter the market does not make any sense.

Chu Guang just appreciated his masterpiece for a while, then turned away from the shelter, returned to the surface, and began to ponder the glass jar he got from the merchant surnamed sun.

The ants with big fists huddled in the glass jar, flapping their legs and tentacles, looking for the exit.

One of the iron backed ants with an outward face is the most energetic. It is knocking on the inner wall of the glass jar with its pliers.

However, the inner arc surface of the glass can is too slippery to find the force point for biting. No matter how strong the biting force is, it won't help. We can only worry about the transparent "wall".

Chu Guang is not interested in insects, but he wants to know how this little thing becomes the natural enemy of the mutant leech.

You know, even the cubs of mutant leeches are much larger than their size.

So Chu Guang went to the fishermen by the lake and borrowed a cub of a mutant leech. Then he picked a strong and energetic iron backed ant and put them in the same bottle.

Something interesting happened.

The mutant leech did not attack the prey immediately, but tentatively stretched its mouthparts forward.

Seeing that the edge of the mouthpiece was close to the iron backed ant, the mutant leech suddenly retracted like touching the switch, then twisted its fat and round body and arched the other side of the bottle, as if hiding something.

The ant was also very interesting. It seemed to realize that there was a great big guy near him.

However, it did not panic at all. It neither attacked immediately nor turned around to escape. Instead, it circled around the inside of the bottle and shook the tentacles on its head.

What are you doing?

Is it

Chu Guang, who squatted on the ground to observe, touched his chin and suddenly floated a flash on his face.

"I see..."

"It should be looking for companions."

He seems to have guessed the reason why this ant can resist the mutant leech.

While Chu Guang was preparing to further verify his conjecture, players not far away were watching and whispering here.

"What are managers doing?"

"I don't know. It seems to be playing with ants."

"I think he got a leech cub from the fishermen. Does he want to see ants fight with leeches?"

"Gan, why do you have such a strange hobby?!"

The crow holding the mushroom to the granary happened to hear the conversation of nearby players. It was cold behind his back and couldn't help shivering.

Water, leech?

How could anyone play with such a disgusting thing?!

It's terrible

……

After repeated control experiments, Chu Guang finally verified his conjecture.

First, leeches have no eyes and mainly rely on smell to search for prey. Mutant leeches are the same, and they are quite sensitive to smell because they have a more sensitive sense of smell.

After discovering its prey, the iron backed ant does not choose to attack at the first time, but, like other ants, immediately releases pheromones to tell nearby companions that there is a fat sheep here. Let's come together.

Although the digestive juice of the mutant leech can corrode most of its prey, it is almost ineffective for the iron backed ant. Even if it is swallowed as a whole, it can't digest at all, but will be bitten from the inside.

Therefore, this fear of natural enemies has almost been written into the genes of mutant leeches, so that when they smell the pheromone released by iron backed ants, they almost instinctively run away and dare not return.

"... the case has been solved."

"It's really because of this."

Looking at the translucent colloidal material the size of the nail plate in his hand, Chu Guang gently pinched it, a bit like deteriorated similo.

This thing is the pheromone gland of iron backed ant, which grows under its ass and can be pulled down without much effort.

After removing the pheromone gland of the big ant, Chu Guang threw it back into the bottle and shared a room with the mutant leech.

This time, the mutant leech is much braver.

After several tests, it probably felt that the smell of this thing was not very similar to its natural enemies, so it finally summoned up its courage, swallowed the prey, and then squirmed like a wave.

About five or six minutes have passed.

The mutant leech cub, which was still crawling, suddenly stopped moving.

Chu Guang poured it out of the bottle and cut open his stomach with a knife.

I saw that the ant inside had been suffocated, but there was still a piece of meat in his mouth, probably torn from a part of the body of the mutant leech cub.

This small injury is not enough to kill the leech. The real fatal may be the formic acid injected into the leech or something.

"It's unrealistic to kill the leech in the nest."

"But if you can smear the pheromone gland extract on your body and pretend to be the natural enemy of the mutant leech... Can you pass through the nest of the mutant leech without injury?!"

Realizing this, Chu Guang's face was filled with excitement, and his eyes looked at the glass jar aside changed.

I'm rich!

20 kilograms of blue umbrella pants can change 2000 chips. If you can pick 200 kilograms

Of course, 200 kilograms may be exaggerated.

But a hundred kilograms should still be no problem?

Unfortunately, these iron backed ants are worker ants. There is no queen who can reproduce, otherwise they can collect the wool of the mutant leech nest every day!

"... you have to find a player with high acquisition skill proficiency to do this job."

Chu Guang's eyes began to cruise in the outpost, looking for the lucky man.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a player not far from the granary.

Crow!

Seeing the little player, Chu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up.

that was close.

I almost forgot her!

If you remember correctly, the player named crow has a talent of "toxin intuition", and the blue umbrella mushrooms are green!

When others enter the hole, they have to look for it with a light. When this guy enters the hole, he simply brings his own night navigation. He'll finish staring at the green light. Don't you easily get hundreds of kilograms out?

Feeling the sight from the manager, the crow who has just handed in the punishment task is full of excitement.

The intuition of perception made her predict the danger in advance.

However, just as she was about to grease her feet, Chu Guang predicted her prediction and stepped forward to trigger the plot.

"How's your punishment task finished?"

Hearing the voice behind him, crow turned carefully and looked at the manager trembling.

"Finished, finished... Just finished, has handed in enough 100kg."

Chu Guang nodded.

"It's just finished. From now on, your status level will be restored to resident. In addition, I have a glorious and arduous task to give you."

If it is normal, the crow will certainly be happy. Next, straighten out his chest and offer loyalty. After all, who doesn't love the hidden task?

Maybe you can increase the popularity of NPC!

However, from the beginning, her right eye couldn't help jumping and told her that there might be a big pit waiting in front of her.

"I may not be able to finish it. Why don't you find someone else -"

"Believe in yourself, you can do it, and this task can only be completed by you!"

There was no chance for crow to refuse. Chu Guang seriously interrupted her little beep, paused for two seconds, and continued.

"I'll give you a bottle of special powder and you can apply it to your body."

"It can ensure that you can enter the nest of the mutant leech safely. All you have to do is collect the green mushrooms inside."

The crows were anxious to cry, especially after hearing the six words "mutant leech nest", they almost dropped the line on the spot.

"Then, can I come out safely?"

Chu Guang said in a positive tone.

"Theoretically, it can."

Crow: "??"

theoretically?!

Chu Guang didn't give her a chance to protest, continued.

"The theory is just for preciseness. Rest assured, the success rate is more than 90%. Even if you fail, you die in a special task, and there will be no punishment other than resurrection CD."

There's still punishment!

The most painful thing is the resurrection CD, okay!

The crow said pitifully, "can you also avoid the resurrection CD?"

Chu Guang paused for two seconds and selectively ignored her sentence.

"The content of the task is very simple. You have 10 minutes of absolute safety time and 20 minutes of relative safety time."

"After entering the nest, don't worry about anything. Avoid those leeches and collect the green blue mushrooms you can see."

"Before the end of time, how much can be collected."

"Blue umbrella mushroom per catty -"

"I will count you 4 copper coins and 5 contributions!"
