Chapter 453 Knowledge Transaction

[There is no free lunch in the world. If you need water, you have to exchange it, right?]

[Exchange it with knowledge, I can give you everything you want, water, food, weapons, beauties, and even supernatural powers]

People looked at the well vigilantly, and Bray's eyes were cold: "Don't believe it, supernatural creatures are born evil, especially this kind of thing with unknown origin - who knows what it wants to do by bewitching you?"

[You don't believe me? I'm here to help you, what a ruthless child]

The well said so, and it seemed that only Bray could hear what it said now.

However, Bray's words were still quite convincing to everyone. In times of crisis, people always subconsciously entrust their lives to the strong. Now Bray is the only supernatural here, so he naturally becomes their reliance.

What's more, Bray was right. The lack of water resources was caused by this well. Now people who believe its words because of its few words are simply stupid.

The people around looked cautious. They agreed with Bray that such a well of unknown origin could not be trusted, and naturally could not make any waves.

Bray looked at everyone: "Let's find out who has food at home first. We will count the food, save it, and avoid greater disasters. When the mayor gets in touch with the outside world, we will be saved."

"Will he really not run away?"

"Don't worry, the guard is ours."

Bray has a unique connection with people who have bought things in his store. He is sure that the guard will keep an eye on the mayor to prevent him from leaving the town and running around.

People were relieved.

Now, they just need to wait patiently for the mayor to return. The steam car is very fast, and the mayor should be back in less than a day.

Everyone started to laugh with such expectations, and the well began to laugh. It laughed at them for being too naive.

[You will come to beg me]

This is an affirmative sentence.

"Because you have monopolized the market?"

Bray's expression was definitely not good. He stared at his fingers nonchalantly and looked into the eyes above him: "Monopolize all the things people need. When people need them, they must get them from you, otherwise they will die. Is that your plan?"

"You have already done this, why don't you do something more extreme, such as directly draining the water from people's bodies to kill them completely? If you continue like this, a town will soon be slaughtered. Why don't you do this?"

"Because he needs us alive, this thing has other plans."

A townsman replied: "The price of the exchange is knowledge. I have lived for so many years and have never heard of such an outrageous exchange."

"Just blow up this well to avoid more trouble."

"I agree. If we blow it up, maybe our town can return to normal."

The townspeople talked about it and finally unanimously passed the proposal to blow up the well. The executors of the proposal were handed over to several older-looking, bearded miners. They had professional explosives, although they didn't need to blow up a mountain to deal with a well.

"I have some explosives here, too. Use these."

Bray was worried that his grocery store would be blown up when the well was blown up, so he took the initiative to provide explosives, and the well just stayed there quietly without any movement.

[You better think about it. If you destroy me, the lost things will not come back. Your behavior is undoubtedly seeking your own death.]

"Hey, I have never been threatened like this. The more you say it, the more excited I am!"

The miners placed explosives around the well. Just when they were about to light the fuse, Bligh stopped them.

"What the well said makes sense. We can't gamble on the consequences of destroying it. The most urgent thing is to wait for the mayor to come back. If there is really no other way out, it won't be too late to blow it up."

"I have a way to block it."

So people gave up destroying the well. Many people waited around the well, and their thirst became stronger and stronger, but the person they were waiting for did not come back.

Seeing this, the well began to bewitch again. Some people were shaken in their hearts, but out of caution, they still did not trade with it.

We still need to wait.

One hour, two hours, three hours passed... The sky was bright and dark, and lights were lit in the dark.

Finally, just when people were about to give up, the guards came back.

People were very surprised and asked him what the result was, but the guard was just shaking, shaking all over, and walking in a very strange posture.

His face was pale and his lips were cracked. The moment he saw the well, he rushed over and hugged it tightly.

"Water, give me water!!!"

"Are you crazy?"

People wanted to stop him, but he glared back fiercely. Now this man was only thinking about the water source in the well.

As soon as he said that, those dark tentacles suddenly emerged from the well.

[I like to trade with smart people]

"How can I get water!?"

[Don't worry, just treat the trading process as a simple game. I will ask you a question next, and you can also ask me a question. We must answer each other's questions. If anyone can't answer, we must give the other everything they want]

"Can you give me water?"

[Yes, but it must be after you answer my question]

[This is already a question. Now it's my turn to ask a question... Don't worry, I'm quite kind. Whether you answer it or not, I will give you what you want.]

With a few "gurgles", the tentacles began to wriggle more. They slowly stretched out to the guard on the ground and entangled him intimately, as if they were the sweetest couple.

[There is a creature that has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and only three legs at night. What is this creature?]

"Human, it's a human!!!" The guard's eyes lit up. He had seen this kind of question in a book before, so he could easily answer the correct answer. At this moment, the tentacles slowly loosened.

[You answered correctly. The answer is human]

[Humans crawl on all fours when they are born, use two legs after learning to walk, and use crutches in old age because of inconvenience in their legs and feet.]

Bray looked at his cane and felt a little offended.

The deal was done. As a reward, the guard received a bowl of water. He quickly took the bowl and drank the spring water in big gulps, feeling the coolness in his mouth and throat. He had never felt that water was so delicious as today.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the well would just ask such a simple question and then give them what they wanted. From this point of view, maybe it wasn't a very bad supernatural creature...
