Chapter 931 Critical Hit! Critical Hit! Art Is Power!

Outside the fishman camp, the "New River" construction site.

Smoke and dust were everywhere, and white mist and dust were flying together.

The sound of hoes and shovels hitting the ground was endless.

Compared with the desolation of the past few days, the place is now bustling with excitement.

These villagers who came from Hope Village seemed to have endless energy and enthusiasm. They squatted in the three-meter-wide and two-meter-deep ditch and dug frantically. In just five days, they opened up a distance of 1,500 meters, which was even faster than the speed of digging the Grand Canal back then.

The villagers standing on the ditch were not idle either. They pushed their homemade two-wheeled transport carts to send the excavated soil to the accumulation area. In the future, these soils will be transported to the planned planting area by the only truck in the territory to fill the low-lying areas.

Due to the long distance between the two places, the village currently only has three round-trip buses, which are concentrated in the morning, noon and evening hours, using a long trailer to pull the responsible personnel to and from. So at noon, after most people climbed out of the deep pit, they would not choose to waste time going back to the village, but would save energy and rest on the spot.

Naturally, the small carts that had set up stalls at the entrance of the market also smelled this big wave of business opportunities, and hurriedly brought the stalls to the front of the fishmen camp to form a simple market, and the smoke was connected at mealtime.

Ignoring other factors, this place is like a newborn tribe, full of vitality.

Standing in front of the window of the high-rise building in the camp, watching the little fishmen in the tribe rushing into the market to consume, the fishmen chief Yu Chenghai couldn't help but sigh.

After a long period of changes in living habits, as the fishmen left their original seawater living environment and went to land, their diet structure gradually changed from the initial carnivorous to omnivorous while their body structure changed.

They can eat everything and love to eat everything.

At first, the fishmen tribe was very excited about this change.

But as time went on, they found that this change was not all positive. The most obvious point was that the original food expenses increased by more than ten times.

In other words, the fishmen were the first marine creatures to like "delicious food".

When they first arrived in this strange world a few days ago, facing the food produced by Hope Village, the fishmen could still restrain their inner impulse. At most, they just felt that the food tasted better than the usual food.

Even though the two sides temporarily cancelled the trade due to the disaster, the fishmen tribe did not discuss the food of Hope Village.

But now

Yu Chenghai has never seen or heard of a kind of food that can make fishmen eat it once. It's like being poisoned. If you don't eat it for a day, you will roll on the ground and feel uncomfortable.

So that every night, the camp is full of discussions about the food of Hope Village.

Reflected in reality.

Those little fishmen who used to dig ditches and do hard work will enter a depressed state every night.

But now, as long as they think about eating delicious food after working the next day, their efficiency during the day has doubled, which surprised the clan leader.

And those old fishmen in charge of scientific research, who originally seemed lifeless every day because of the lack of water source environment, have recently rejuvenated themselves after eating the delicious food in the market, and have preliminarily analyzed the first scientific research task assigned by the lord.

Of course, judging from the changes in the fishmen in the camp, the appearance of delicious food is undoubtedly a good thing.

But as the clan leader

Yu Chenghai sighed again.

It has only been a few days since the stock of materials in the camp was spent by the fishmen, and 90% of it was spent on the usual food stalls.

He wanted to talk to Chen Shen, the village chief of Hope Village, to see if he could rent out some fishmen as labor and make some money to make up for the camp expenses.

But every time he thought of Chen Shen sending people to help build the waterway, not only did he not charge money, but he also subsidized a lot of materials for the fishmen camp to complete the subsequent supporting construction.

This face made him embarrassed, and he couldn't open his mouth.

"Is it that fragrant?"

Hearing Yu Chenghai's mumbling, the dozing high priest Yu Haichao opened his eyelids, and a thick blue light flashed in his lifeless eyes, which was much stronger than before.

"Why don't you try it?"

"No, if I get addicted, then this camp will be ruined, and I will be left with nothing after spending all my money."

Yu Chenghai swallowed his saliva and forcibly suppressed the idea that had just been instigated.

To be honest, the smell that came into the camp every day was very strange.

That fragrance should not be the smell of human food at all, but more like the treasure fish with a strong fishy smell that appeared in the shallow sea.

"Haha, don't worry, Village Chief Chen Shen will be here soon."

Yu Chenghai, who was about to swallow his saliva again, was stunned.

"Village Chief Chen is here?"

Dongdong.

There was a knock on the door from behind.

The guard fishman said in a low voice: "Chief, high priest, Village Chief Chen Shen is here."

"Respected Village Chief Chen Shen, please come in."

As soon as a trace of joy flashed across Yu Chenghai's smooth fish face, the high priest next to him had already raised his left hand.

He waved lightly, and the door opened naturally inward, revealing Chen Shen standing in front of the door.

A wrapped red carpet was also spread out from the window to the door.

Walking on the street stall, Chen Shen looked around curiously, and finally focused his eyes on Yu Haichao's left index finger, which was still emitting a hint of blue light, and said in surprise:

"I haven't seen you for a few days. The high priest's power has recovered well. This method is becoming more and more amazing."

"A little trick, just a trivial little trick."

The high priest stood up, with a smile on his rich face, looking like a kind elder.

"Thanks to the cultivation of the lord, I can reach this day where I can cross over to another stage."

"Thank you Lord Lord."

Placing his right hand on his heart, the high priest became more pious.

However, Yu Chenghai next to him was not so coy and quickly stepped forward to hold Chen Shen's hand.

"Village Chief Chen, you finally came here today. If it were a few days later, I'm afraid the latter would have the shame to come to you on his own initiative."

"Chief Yu, you are so polite. I wonder why you invited me here?" Chen Shen asked straightforwardly with his smile still on.

After dealing with these fishmen a lot, he has gradually gotten the hang of it.

The human way of twisting and turning is not suitable. On the contrary, it is more convenient and comfortable to go straight.

"It's like this. Our fish-man tribe has encountered a little trouble recently. Don't worry, Village Chief Chen. I'm not referring to conflicts between our two tribes. I can guarantee you this. , I will strictly restrain those little fish people, so that they will always maintain royal respect for the villagers of Hope Village, and will never go beyond the rules set by the lord."

"This trouble is a bit hard to explain. You know, the village recently sent so many people to help our fish-man tribe build river ditches. This is a kindness we have never thought of. If I were..."

As he spoke, Yu Chenghai's originally light white fish face became increasingly red.

It was obvious that he had not learned the euphemism of humans and had forgotten the straightforwardness of fish people.

Even Chen Shen was a little puzzled as he hesitated: "Chief Yu, just say it straight. We are all soldiers under the lord. There is no need for our two tribes to be so hostile, right?"

"It's because we shouldn't be born." Yu Chenghai shook his head and explained quickly.

But this time, before he could continue, the high priest next to him coughed slightly as he finished his prayer.

"Village Chief Chen, the market has opened in the past two days, and the patriarch always wants to take me to have a taste. How about we eat and talk?"

"Taste it?"

Chen Shen laughed: "Of course, let's go, I'm treating you today!"

In an instant, he realized what Yu Chenghai wanted to say.

It's not difficult to guess this. After all, the "foreign exchange reserves" earned from the fish-men tribe every day are not covered. Every transaction must be signed by him personally before it can be stored in the treasury.

But it's only been a few days, and the fish-men tribe can't hold on anymore?

Looking at the green smoke outside the window, Chen Shen sniffed and suddenly understood the lethality of this small market.

It seems that I will have to use my identity as village chief to talk to these chef apprentices more in the future. If this business can be expanded to other places outside the territory, the foreign exchange reserves will

The three of them walked out of the gate of the fish-man tribe one after another. It was lunch time, and the small market was full of people.

Among the people waiting in line, there were quite a few little fish-men with wrinkled skin.

Faced with these foreign ethnic groups, the villagers did not discriminate. Instead, they happily leaned down and chatted.

Some old fish people also received enough respect and were humbly allowed to go to the front to eat first.

This kind of harmony is nothing like the fusion of two strange races.

Even the three people who walked out had seen it more than once, and they were still a little surprised at this time.

"Eat some noodles, cakes, or soup?"

"Eat noodles!" Yu Chenghai responded immediately, then realized his eagerness and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, then let's eat noodles."

The queue in front of Ma Hao Ge Noodle Stall was so thick that it was impossible to see the end of it.

Seeing the village chief and the leader of the fishman tribe, the high priest walked over together, and the villagers and fishmen who were lining up in front of the noodle stall took the initiative to give up their seats.

This is not because they are intimidated by power, but because there is an unwritten rule in the village. Whoever makes a greater contribution is qualified to enjoy privileges.

The village is developing so well now, and everyone has hope. It is necessary to make room for the village chief. His time is precious.

"Haoge, three bowls of beef noodles, you made them yourself."

Taking into account the increasing number of people, Ma Haoge also hired three apprentices who transferred to the chef apprenticeship route to help, and offered the first floating salary in the territory.

That is, the more you sell, the higher the salary will be settled on that day.

However, compared to Ma Haoge, a master ramen chef, the noodles produced by the three apprentices are quite different, and the price is also slightly lower than that of normal ramen.

"Okay, village chief, please wait a moment."

Glancing at the two fishmen beside Chen Shen, Ma Haoge's eyes flashed with excitement.

In the past two days, he has been collecting information about chef apprentices on the World Channel and got a lot of useful intelligence.

Unlike traditional route upgrades, you only need to repeat a task frequently to gain experience points.

In addition to experience points and hidden tasks, the chef apprentice's upgrade also has another hidden special progress.

Word of mouth value!

Of course, the real name may not be this, but the conveyed meaning is the same.

As long as more people can taste the food and praise it in their hearts, the game will give a certain reputation value.

If the word-of-mouth value reaches the standard, you can directly skip the experience value upgrade.

Moreover, the higher the level of the players who taste it, or the more noble their status, the reputation value will also increase to a certain extent.

"We must capture the fish-men clan leader and high priest!"

With this idea in mind, Ma Haoge devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of ramen.

Not long after, three bowls of ramen came out of the pot.

Seeing the fishman clan leader pouring the noodles into his mouth and chewing them like crazy, regardless of how hot they were, he purred with satisfaction and mumbled praises about how delicious it was.

Then he looked at the high priest of the fishman tribe, with a happy and pious expression on his face, as if he was performing some noble ritual.

Ma Haoge smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Shen also laughed, laughing unscrupulously.

Although some talents are not written on the game board, they are engraved in the bones of every human being.

Just give them the right platform and they can create a miracle.

The route fully unleashes this talent.

It allows everyone to see their abilities more concretely and to know their future direction more clearly.

After Yu Chenghai had finished three bowls with satisfaction, Chen Shen reminded him with a smile:

"Chief Yu, there are a lot of food stalls behind you. Why don't you save some to try?"

"No more, no more, this noodle shop has the taste of my grandma's cooking." Yu Chenghai shook his head and praised, his eyes full of reminiscence: "This smell is just like the treasure fish she made secretly. A taste.”

"Treasure fish?"

Ma Haoge listened carefully and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

A bowl of ordinary ramen, of course he didn't put any secret sauce, after all, the cost is here.

As for the smell that Yu Chenghai tasted, based on the tests over the past few days, it was most likely caused by those special abilities that increased the aroma of food by 25%.

It does not simply increase the original flavor of the food, but attaches the best thing the taster has ever eaten to it, taking a quarter of that flavor and adding it on top.

It sounds weird, but it works great.

Almost everyone who comes here praises the ramen.

"Okay, high priest, do you want it?"

Chen Shen looked at Yu Haichao, who was waiting quietly after eating a bowl of noodles.

But before he could finish speaking, the latter stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the construction site.

"how?"

"Village Chief Chen, where should we go?"

"Where?" Chen Shen turned his head and found that there seemed to be a commotion in the direction of the high priest's finger.

Many people who had finished their meal had already gathered there. It was unclear whether they were watching the fun or participating in the commotion.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look."

The three of them stood up and walked straight through the crowd towards the gathering place.

Along the way, villagers kept giving way, and soon they were squeezed into the front position where the commotion broke out.

However, it was at this point that a faint voice came from the crowd.

"vigorously!"

"vigorously!"

"Art is power!"

"Don't miss it if you're passing by. The second generation of powerful agricultural tools is out. Brothers and sisters in need, hurry up and take a look!"

"A farm tool that can hit critically, yes, it's the critical hit you imagined!"

"Pre-order the latest product from Lianmeng Steel Factory now. The price is favorable. You can't suffer a loss or be cheated!"
