Chapter 1106: A Thorn in the Side, but a Great Harvest!

"What is this, why is it so smelly?"

"Stinky tofu, smells bad, but tastes good!"

"Smells bad, tastes good?"

In front of the big pot with boiling oil, Sid's face showed a trace of disgust, and his eyes looked at the special forces captain Sam.

The meaning was self-evident.

However, the latter did not have the slightest idea of ​​trying, and his eyes automatically swept to the face of the soldier next to him.

At the end, seeing the soldier's reluctant face, Sam reminded him.

"This is an order."

Damn!

The smell of this black block is not much different from Shet, and even more pungent.

The soldier stepped forward with a face ready to die, and spent five iron coins to buy a bowl.

A total of six pieces.

Because beans have not yet been grown in large quantities, tofu is still quite valuable now.

Sticking with colorful juice, the soldier gently picked up a piece and swallowed it in the disgusted eyes of the people next to him.

Hiss.

The crispy fried tofu skin suddenly cracked in the mouth, and the mixed juice rushed to the taste buds.

The tender inside was wrapped with a hint of spicy pepper, which went directly from the nose to the top of the head.

What is this smell?

A tear suddenly appeared in the soldier's eyes, and the whole person trembled slightly.

Of course, it was choked!

There is no such thing as pepper in the nutritious meals of the Qinggang Shelter.

After all, it is located in a tropical climate. If you still eat spicy food, it is simply inseparable from getting angry.

But this taste

Swallowed gently, the soldier picked up another piece, closed his eyes and began to chew carefully.

This time, in the spicy and rich aroma, he tasted a faint new taste.

That is the taste in memory.

It was a piece of crispy candy that his father exchanged for him from the merchant ship of the foundation when he was six years old.

But how can this stinky tofu have such a taste?

He opened his eyes and began to swallow the remaining tofu piece by piece with doubts, trying to find the secret.

However, until the last piece was eaten, the fragrance still lingered in his mind, making people unable to extricate themselves.

"Delicious?"

Sid and Sam looked at each other, confused.

At the beginning, when the soldier's eyes were filled with tears, they were somewhat glad that they did not try it themselves.

But then this development, why did he eat faster and faster?

They are not ordinary residents. They have been to many gathering places and shelters and have never seen such strange food.

"Delicious, very delicious, can I buy another bowl?"

There was a trace of desire in the soldier's eyes, and the chef behind the stinky tofu stall smiled.

Just now, this person actually gave him a full 1/30 of experience.

Not a small amount, really a large amount.

You know, he is now level 6, and the experience of upgrading has skyrocketed several times.

Only this little experience can be accumulated in a day, and it is basically a long way to go to upgrade.

And now as long as these people can come and try a bowl, it feels that they are not far from upgrading!

"Buy ten bowls at a time, I'm giving a discount, only four iron coins per bowl!"

"Buy!"

Hearing this, Sid waved his hand and simply gave everyone a bowl.

Including the soldier who had already eaten a bowl before, he was also given another bowl of stinky tofu.

At this moment, the eyes of the cooks at other stalls nearby were wide open and they all started to talk.

"Fuck, this group of people seem to have never eaten in their lives. Weren't they all so pretentious before?"

"It's bad, if they eat their fill of stinky tofu, how can we earn experience?"

"Look at the leader, he was so disgusted before, but now he's squatting on the ground eating like a starving ghost."

"Wait, if they come to eat at our remaining stalls, everyone has to make an agreement that each person can only buy once."

"Okay, anyway, the first time will give more experience!"

"No problem, let Fluttermoth bring people over."

The stinky tofu stall didn't have a table, and a group of people just squatted on the ground and ate voraciously.

Many people coughed repeatedly due to choking, but they still couldn't help but take one mouthful after another, savoring the pleasure brought by the juice splashing in their mouths.

Is it that delicious?

Of course it is!

Sid had completely forgotten his previous disdain and ate faster than his assistant Pine next to him.

He even drank a mouthful of the juice in the bowl and stood up with a smack of his lips.

"Boss, another bowl?"

"No more!"

"No more?"

Looking at the other stinky tofu still floating in the pot, Sid didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

It was still Fluttering Moth who explained in time: "If you buy all, others will have nothing to eat. There are many equally delicious snacks over there. Why don't you try them?"

"So that's it!"

Sid suddenly realized.

Indeed, if such delicious stinky tofu is not limited, it can be hoarded and sold again to make a profit if it is bought by one person.

Set a unified price, and everyone can only buy one bowl.

The owner of this stall is quite nice, and he is much more conscientious than those greedy bosses in Sunny Harbor New City!

Sid quickly walked to the next store with the members of the delegation who had finished eating the stinky tofu.

This time it was wontons, and everyone still had a bowl.

A group of people sat on the table at the stall and ate voraciously. It took less than three minutes for them to get up and walk to the next store.

The purchasing power of a piece of gold is still quite strong.

Even if you take them to Qinggang Shelter, you can still trade 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 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 completely wiped out.

"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 warriors 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 Shelter to study, or buy some super weapons that were specialties here 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 cockroach'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 took 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 their 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 over 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, then nodded and said, "There was no response. It seems that the person who took the core was not the Tianyuan Sanctuary."

"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 not now.

The disappearing wall of lightning is the perfect example.

If they dare to threaten, I'm afraid these madmen will teach the remaining walls and even the shelter below the ground a lesson they will never forget 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 in it.

This is a traceability device made from the fragments of the explosion.

By irradiating the material of the internal debris, the same wave can be generated if a homologous object is nearby.

After receiving the same wave, based on the magnitude, you can infer how much inventory the other party has.

However, the accuracy is definitely not very good, 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.

"Do you have?"

"No."

Sam shook his head in disappointment and stared blankly at the display marked '0' on the device.

In fact, it's not a big 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, and 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 act in a hurry to alert the snake.

After detecting the number, the task is equivalent to completion.

But just as Sam was about to turn off the device and take it back into his arms, the numbers on it began to beat 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.

Then the 9999 detected now, doesn't it mean that the other party is fully capable of destroying the Qinggang Shelter?

No, 9999 is not the final value, but the upper limit value detected.

Those same waves are still returning, but this device is no longer able to receive and analyze them.

Could it be that they are capable of self-destructing the entire city?

This discovery made the two people who knew about it feel a little bit uneasy, as if a bomb was sitting under their buttocks.

But for the other soldiers who were still waiting to exchange money to continue eating, it had no effect.

Soon, a familiar figure came into their eyes.

Fluttering Moth rushed back with the money at almost a running speed, with sweat on his forehead.

"Continue eating, or"

"Eat, anyway, we can't affect the overall situation."

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 thought of the hidden strength of the other party, they couldn't be happy at all.

Who would have thought that a place called primitive people would actually be brewing such a huge threat.

This is not good news for the Qinggang Shelter.

The sun sets in the west.

After the rainstorm, the fiery red morning glow spread across the sky, as if it was burning.

Standing on the observation deck at the top of the first floor of the shelter, looking at the delegation team that got back on the carriage and left.

Su Mo couldn't help but smile.

"Have they left?"

"Gone? In fact, if we keep them, they will probably stay another night."

Chen Shen next to him also smiled.

"There's no need. Anyway, this group of people are not really here to discuss cooperation."

Su Mo shook his head and asked curiously, "How much gold did we receive today?"

"Three hundred and sixty grams!"

They are really a group of local tyrants.

Among the materials for preparing the adventurer terminal, the most difficult one to find is gold.

Even the two allies, Pingtan Shelter and Giant City Shelter, don't have much stock.

The territory spent several tons of supplies to trade for about two kilograms.

But now

Just a group of envoys from the Qinggang Shelter can take out more than 300 grams, enough for less than a thousand adventurer terminals.

"Let's get it next time. I feel that this will definitely not be their first time."

With the nuclear power industrial core that can solve the urgent problem, a little gold is not enough to make Su Mo excited again.

In the daytime, in order to prevent these people from having special means to detect the signal emitted by the core.

He also deliberately drove a motor airship and took the core all the way to the west, just to cover up.

Now.

With this group of people leaving, it should not be abrupt to use the system to erase the signal transmission.

"Let Lu Kuan come to me and tell him"

"There is a big surprise!"
