Chapter 1255: A Penny Can Make a Hero Fail

Lin Jia and Li Jiayu were walking on the street, and everything they saw felt new. However, this street was indeed one of the busiest streets in Yong City. People were coming and going, and there were many inheritors with extraordinary strength. Passing by here, and since a little order has been restored, there are still people selling clothes, armor, weapons, and even some vendors selling delicious food on the streets.

Although the current situation in Yongcheng is not good, in this prosperous area, there are still some people who are in a state of dissipation and wealth. That's it. Once some people are enjoying themselves, they will not care about the life and death of others. A typical wealthy family The wine and meat stink, and the roads are frozen to death.

In the poor areas of Yongcheng, people are still starving to death and dying of illness. Regardless of the current security conditions in Yongcheng, there is still dark violence, but it is more hidden...

"Insect meat barbecued pork, insect meat barbecued pork, it's absolutely delicious. It's delicious and you won't go back. Once you taste it, you'll know it. It's 100% cheap, and one piece only requires one brain core!"

A small vendor on the street was shouting loudly, advertising to the powerful inheritors passing by.

However, this "Insect Meat Barbecued Pork" is indeed a delicacy that has never been seen before. I don't know what kind of insect meat and what spices are used, but it can actually make the meat roasted into golden brown, shiny and greasy, and the meat is soft. Just looking at it makes people move their index fingers. , combined with the extremely rich fragrance, it almost makes people's mouth water.

Li Jiayu couldn't stand the temptation of delicious food. She looked at the worm meat barbecued pork eagerly and silently bit her lower lip. When Lin Jia saw this, she immediately coughed and walked over to the stall owner and asked:

"Boss, this worm-meat barbecued pork..."

"Hey, brother, do you want a piece? This is the meat of a first-class high-level red-capped beetle. If ordinary people eat more of it, it can activate qi and blood, strengthen physical fitness, clear the liver and improve eyesight. There are many benefits, but the most important thing is that this The extraordinary taste of the worm meat barbecued pork is the most delicious among delicacies. Once you take one bite, you will never forget it..."

The stall owner is a young man in a suit, and he is really handsome when he smiles. In fact, he is a person who has been strengthened by insect crystals. He has fused twenty or thirty first-level insect crystals, and now he has a first-level high-level He has great strength, but he has no fighting talent. When a fight breaks out, he is in a hurry to keep it safe, so he did not join the military team, but settled down to be a gourmet restaurant owner.

"Uh, what is a red-capped beetle?" Lin Jia asked casually.

"Are you looking for fun? How could the red-capped beetle not know this? Little brother, let's not talk much. For a fixed price, one brain core can give you a pound of insect meat and barbecued pork!"

"Well, what is a brain core? I really don't have one, but I have RMB in my pocket... I think I still have seven or eight hundred yuan, you see..."

As he said this, Lin Jia took out a few red photos of Mao Zedong from his butt pocket and shook them like a big brother, like a gambling saint who killed everyone!

When the boss saw this, an angry look suddenly appeared on his face, and he scolded: "Brother, you are really here to cause trouble, aren't you! Who still uses banknotes for transactions these days? What's more, yours is obviously a fake banknote!"

After saying that, the boss took out a blue-white crystal the size of a peanut from the counter and said in a rough voice:

"Look, this is the common currency brain core now. Do you understand the brain core of insects? I think you must understand it, so whoever doesn't bloom first - pretend to be garlic, and those who can't afford insect meat and barbecued pork should get out. Don’t get in the way of my business!”

"Uh, haha, sorry..."

Lin Jia returned angrily, walked up to Li Jiayu, and said melancholy:

"No, the RMB in my world is not accepted here.

Hey, I don’t know what the brain core he is talking about is. Is it difficult to get it? It’s a pity that there is no bank that exchanges money here. I can’t exchange RMB for a brain core. Gee, it’s really inconvenient... Hey, Sister Dalu, why are you looking at those insect-meat barbecued pork with your eyes open? As I said before, you must not mess around. Using your force to rob in this world may lead to death. After all, The streets are full of masters..."

The apocalypse has lasted for two years, and now Yongcheng has already issued new currency under a relatively stable government.

Currency is of course no longer the paper money and coins of the past. Those are worthless and no longer authoritative.

The new currencies are things like insect crystals and brain cores.

Luxury goods like insect crystals are only for inheritors, and ordinary people cannot afford them. After all, insect crystals can be used to strengthen the body, improve quality, and make people embark on the road to becoming strong.

Ordinary people use brain cores.

What are brain nuclei?

Brain cores are small crystals produced in the heads of first- and intermediate-level bugs. They are usually not very useful. They can only be used to detoxify, treat wounds, and activate qi and blood. But even so, brain cores are also useful to ordinary people. It is equivalent to a life-saving medicine.

When the apocalypse first came, a female classmate named Hua Xiaolu in Li Jiayu's class was bitten by a poisonous spider and almost died. Fortunately, Li Jiayu got a brain core and gave it to Hua Xiaolu. Detoxified.

However, not all brain cores have market value. The brain cores that can be used as currency are all marked by the Yongcheng government. Moreover, ordinary currencies are only as big as soybeans and are ordinary bugs. The brain nucleus is as big as an egg yolk.

In other words, one brain core can be conquered and made into hundreds of brain core coins.

The purchasing power of one brain core coin is roughly equivalent to twenty yuan in peacetime, which can buy seven or eight kilograms of rice.

Nowadays, the situation in Yongcheng is not good, and crops are becoming less and less abundant, making it difficult to be self-sufficient. Some areas have fallen into the dilemma of having no rice to cook, so food is becoming more and more expensive...

"But I'm hungry, you have to get me something to eat, right?" Li Jiayu snorted.

"My dear sister, if you are hungry, let's go eat some vegetarian food. The vegetarian food will definitely be cheaper, and the worm meat barbecued pork will be expensive at a glance. Hmm, it's not good. Now let's think about what to do. Once we have the money, we should not let the two of us starve to death on the streets..."

"Who wants to be a vegetarian? I just want to eat meat. If you can't figure it out, I'll go meet the boss. Although he looks quite strong, his steps are weak and his face is swollen. He may not be my opponent!" Li Jiayu's There was a somewhat militant look in his eyes.

"My sister-in-law, please don't go eat the King's meal. After all, this is a bustling street, and there are many masters on the road. So what if you can beat the boss? Can you beat the people on the whole street? If you want to eat For Overlord Dinner, you should find a place where there are no experts..."

Li Jiayu pouted, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable, so she nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll let that boss go for the time being. When one day I'm strong enough, I'll come back to eat his domineering meal!"

"...When you are strong enough, you will have a lot of money, so there is no need to eat the King's meal!"

Lin Jia rolled his eyes and sighed, to be honest, even though everything is new when he comes to this world, it is really difficult to move forward if he is not familiar with the place.

If you don’t understand the history and geography of this world, nor the cultivation system of this world, and you don’t have any relatives or friends, it will be very difficult even if you want to integrate into this world...

What's even more difficult is that there is a girl with violent tendencies around her. Maybe she is very strong, but the problem is that she can't show off her fighting spirit. Unlike the members of the demon hunting group who are fighting on the street, one by one When fighting, fighting spirit and internal energy surge out, just like the energy explosion of a Super Saiyan. You can tell at a glance that he is a master among masters. If anyone is given the earth, he can defeat an army on his own. Team.

"Sister Dalu, where should we go next?"

"Looking for something to eat!"

"Where can I find food? You are a big eater with twenty times the amount of food..."

"How about going hunting?"

"Hunting? That's not possible. You have also seen that there are many large-scale riding pets in this world. God knows if there are any monsters outside. If we encounter a ferocious monster, we will never return. "In my opinion, let's go to a bar or something to see if there are any mercenary missions we can take. Isn't it like this in novels? The first step for a strong man is to go to the mercenary union to do missions."

"But, are there any bars in this city?"

"There must be, you just follow me..."

Just when Lin Jia was about to take Li Jiayu to find a bar, suddenly, there was a big commotion in the crowd in front of him, and it turned out to be a robbery!

But I saw a thin man in his thirties with a monkey face, holding a small cloth bag in his hand, running rampant, knocking many pedestrians off their feet, and some small stalls were also knocked over. There were two people behind him. The young man was chasing after him desperately, and at the same time he shouted:

"Catch him quickly, that guy is a thief and stole our insect crystals!"

For a moment, the pedestrians on the road became interested and blocked the way. However, the thief was no ordinary person. He moved quickly, ran quickly, and even knew some Qinggong footwork - he was clearly a second-level low-level Qigong practitioner. division!

Because he is good at light kung fu and has a short stature, even a second-level high-level warrior may not be able to stop him.

Soon, the thief rushed to Li Jiayu's side. Just when the thief was about to pass by Li Jiayu, Li Jiayu stretched out her calf with lightning speed, quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. Just hooked the thief's ankle!

The thief was caught off guard and lost his balance on the spot. He tripped and fell to the ground. Moreover, because he ran too fast before, he slid along the ground with inertia for seven or eight meters after falling, and finally hit a stone monument. On the spot, he suffered a head injury and fell into a coma! (To be continued. [This text is provided by the Dawn Update Team x-on:fan丶乐].
