Chapter 705: Unexpectedly, the summer harvest begins!
The pale red sunset covered the ground.
After the rain and the weather cleared up, the weather in the wasteland became extremely peaceful. The sun was shining brightly for several days, sending out billowing heat waves.
As soon as he opened the door to the workshop, the heat coming from the shop immediately woke Somo up.
We went all the way to Sun Quan’s workshop next door.
After whispering a few words, the latter almost jumped up with excitement after hearing the news that the energy stone tool was successfully developed.
Su Mo smiled vaguely, closed the door of the workroom with Sun Quan, left early and went straight to the canteen.
Although Sun Quan has not touched a computer again in eight years, as soon as the memories that have been dusty in his mind are activated, the speed of his recovery is completely in line with the intelligence he showed.
These days, after the main control program of the fully automatic harvester is handed over to Sun Quan to complete.
Sumo got extremely satisfactory results that even exceeded expectations.
Of course, although this program will still need to be upgraded and matched by the system before it can be used,
but at a time when survival points can only be consumed but not accumulated, it is definitely valuable to be able to save dozens or hundreds of points.
“Hey, Master Su is going to have dinner~”
“Master Su came really early today, did he not have a few bites at noon?”
“Haha, It’s not easy for a busy man like Master Su to see him at this time today”
"I don't accept anyone, but Master Su's professionalism!"
On the way to the canteen, workers passed by in groups. After seeing Su Mo, they all followed him. Greeted warmly.
And Sumo did not hesitate to smile, and responded cheerfully.
After Zhang Min left, as he became more familiar with Zhang Bowen, he would occasionally share some business tips during his breaks.
About how stores can increase profits and how to cultivate reserve talents.
There are tips on how to greet employees and how to protect yourself in the vicious competition.
When he was learning these things in the past, Mr. Zhang Da didn’t even understand them. Most of them were based on hard-earned experience. Zhang Bowen was often confused and confused, and naturally he didn’t show any talent.
But now, he is being trained by Sumo in a targeted manner.
Zhang Bowen listened carefully and actually tried it more than once.
Although due to unfamiliarity, the effect still did not meet Somo's previous expectations.
But compared with the previous days when Zizailiangfang was crowded, Liangfang has recently been able to maintain a rate of 30 to 50 workers joining every day.
It only took three days, and now there were more than 150 people in Liangfang, and it finally became a little lively.
“Brother Su, if you say that you are now the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang, my little grandson will believe it!”
“Go away, I saw you, my little grandson, and thought Will you be the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang?"
After patting Sun Quan on the shoulder and seeing the latter running away with a smile, Su Mo couldn't help but quicken his steps and felt happy.
Compared to the wasteland of one year at the end of the calendar, eight years later, let alone other territories.
In the Tianyuan territory he founded, Sumo felt so comfortable that he didn't want to leave.
There are even times when I look at the powerful territory, the strong guards, and all kinds of strange weapons and scientific research equipment.
Suma has an illusion.
Even without me, the territory will be more than 99% sure of surviving the zombie wave that will come in a year.
Even if there is a price to pay, it is definitely within the tolerance range.
Perhaps when other people come to the ruins, they have to run on the line of life and death every day, but when he comes in, it is as if he is on vacation, and it is extremely comfortable.
"Brother Su, I'm going to buy two bottles of soda. What do you want to drink?"
"Forget the soda, bring me some iced black tea"
"Okay Hey~" Walking to the door of the canteen, he knew that Sumo was going to talk to the new cook Pei Zhao.
Sun Quan wisely found an excuse, walked out of the back door of Liangfang, and headed for the canteen not far away.
With room to perform, Sumo was not polite and stepped directly into the kitchen of the cafeteria.
On a hot day, there is no air conditioner in the kitchen that can cool down in civilized times.
As soon as we entered, the temperature instantly rose by five or six degrees. People who felt so hot were so hot all over that they wanted to jump into a puddle and roll around.
However, in the white mist, Pei Shao transformed into a chef and his three apprentices.
But he is still serious.
Making soup, cooking stir-fry, steaming steamed buns, no matter who comes here, they won’t be able to find any clues!
"Hey, Teacher Su is here, are you hungry?"
"I have fried three dishes here. If you want to eat, I will get you two white steamed buns. , do you want to rest your belly first?"
Pei Shao, wearing a white chef's uniform, walked out of the kitchen carrying three large iron basins and placed them on the table outside one by one.
He first wiped the hot sweat on his head, then bent slightly and smiled.
After three or four days of contact, the two of them became somewhat familiar.
Pei Shao knew that he was from the Qingguo Territory. He was an ordinary person who suddenly got some luck, and then he collected enough points to buy his identity and joined the territory to make a living.
Su Mo knew that Pei Shao was also the head chef of a small territory nearby. He had no choice but to join Tianyuan Territory after the territory went bankrupt and he lost all the points he had accumulated.
In terms of identity, perhaps there are some loopholes in what Sumo said, and the anomalies can be found through traceability.
But Pei Shao's place is absolutely perfect. Even if Su Mo goes to investigate, he will really find such a person.
And this man's experience and the story that happened to him will definitely match what Pei Shao is telling him now, without any gaps.
In this case, I want to continue playing.
If there was no time limit, Sumo might continue to act stupid for a while and observe Pei Shao's changes in the past eight years.
But now.
"Master Pei, please stop working. I'm not hungry at all right now. I just want to ask you something."
"Oh? Teacher Su is so polite today. I'm the only one who can cook some food. Damn old man, how can I help you?"
Stunned for a moment, Pei Shao took off his chef hat and shook his head repeatedly.
In eight years, he has reached the age of forty. I don’t know whether it is because of the huge loss of energy from working all day long, or because of the incomparable suffering of the years in the wasteland.
In Sumo's memory, Pei Shao had aged more than five years, more than ten years.
In the real wasteland world, Pei Shao, who is in his early thirties, is as strong as a young man, with endless energy in his body.
But now, the corners of his eyes have begun to droop, and there are obvious furrows and wrinkles on his face.
Even his voice began to grow older, and one could only vaguely judge how many ups and downs the territory had gone through in the past eight years.
"That's it, Master Pei, I need to buy some things, but I feel that only you can get these things, so I want to discuss it with you in advance."
"Of course, if If you find it troublesome, just pretend I didn’t say anything today”
Sumo glanced at the food preparation area in the kitchen with a smile, and the meaning was self-evident.
I don’t know what he thought of, but Pei Shao surprisingly did not refuse. He just nodded with a slightly strange look in his eyes, stood up and walked inside first.
The two of them walked in tandem, and it was not until they entered the food preparation area that Pei Shao closed the door and sat opposite Somo.
"Teacher Su, there is no one here anymore. If you have something to hide, just say it."
"Don't worry, even though my bad old man is not very capable, he can still keep his mouth shut. , Don’t worry, no matter what you said today, I will pretend that I haven’t heard it!”
Touching his waist, a smile broke out on Pei Shao's oily face.
It is not difficult to see that now he has completely assumed the identity of a "kind old man", with almost no flaws visible.
But I knew the inside story when I looked at him like this.
Sumo could hardly hold back his inner laughter and almost laughed out loud.
After coughing lightly and knowing that there was no surveillance here and no one was eavesdropping, Sumo didn't mince words and spoke directly.
"Master Pei, you know, I have been doing a lot of experiments recently, and the materials have been wasted a lot."
"Some of these things can be purchased by the Zhang family for my use. But some other things require certain permissions to purchase."
"For example?" Pei Shao didn't understand what Su Mo meant, but his heart sank, but he looked calm.
“For example, the eighth-level deformation alloy, the seventh-level rigid alloy, the sixth-level hard plastic alloy, the sixth-level variable gear, and the sixth-level all-alloy track.”
A dozen of them were mentioned in succession. Different materials, Su Mo muttered, but his eyes were always fixed on Pei Shao's face.
Sure enough, when he heard that none of the materials were lower than Level 6, Pei Shao's expression finally changed slightly and he began to become indifferent.
"Teacher Su, do you know what this level six alloy means?"
"I know, but any scientific research product above Category 3 or above requires an alloy of level six or above. , to obtain the maximum material increase, so as to exert the maximum power." "No, what I'm saying is, do you know how many trading points are needed for a piece of level six alloy?" He shook his head and looked at Su Mo pretending to be dumbfounded. Pei Shao continued in a deep voice.
"Level 6 alloy, 10,000 contribution points per kilogram, requires D-level contribution to purchase. Level 7 alloy, 100,000 contribution points per kilogram, requires B-level contribution to purchase."
"In addition, if it involves mid-to-high-end models of alloys, the prices and contributions will gradually increase, specifically"
Jia Zhen recited the prices of various alloys, and Sumo had been waiting for Pei Shao to take the lead. Unable to resist, interrupt yourself.
But surprisingly, sitting across from him, Pei Shao calmed down after the initial restlessness, and even had an elusive meaning brewing in the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until he finished speaking that Pei Shao continued: "Teacher Su, are you sure I can buy these things?"
"I'm not sure, but I believe you have the qualifications. , right?”
Playing tricks on each other, Pei Shao is willing to be the "Riddler".
With all the restrictions of the game, Sumo did not try to expose them, but secretly continued to get stuck on the edge where his identity was exposed, and continued to test the bottom line of the game.
“Can I know what you want these alloys to be used for?”
Under the unequal information, even the old fox may fall into the hunter’s trap.
After hesitating for a long time and looking at Sumo who was still as steady as a rock, Pei Shao finally failed to calm down and let it out first.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell others what I want to do yet, but I can give you a guarantee"
"When the time is right, I will definitely tell you everything you want to know"
When he said the last words that were full of hints, Somo's spirit was completely tense and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
But fortunately, this faint voice-over was not noticed by the game.
Or because in the cognition of the game, according to Pei Shao's previous thinking and logic, he will never agree for these reasons now.
In short, even though Pei Shao showed a hint of surprise, the game interface still showed no intention of jumping out.
A long while.
It seems that a lot of psychological construction has been done, and the consequences of doing so have been fully considered.
Pei Shao thought about it for a while and then said slowly:
"Okay, since you think I can get these things, then I promise you, as long as you can get enough of the transaction for these materials Click, and I can help you by asking my old acquaintances"
"They may be qualified to purchase these materials"
"But the premise is that you cannot tell anyone about this illegal operation, remember, it is anyone!"
"This I understand, don’t worry, Master Pei, I, among other things, have a door that is as tight as yours.” Detonating the bottom line in Pei Shao's heart.
This will lead to unpredictable subsequent reactions.
After getting the result he was satisfied with, Sumo immediately stood up and took two steps forward to open the closed door.
The light shone in and shone on Pei Shao's face, making the wrinkles in his skin a little deeper.
But for some reason, looking at Somo's figure in the sunset, Pei Shao's eyes full of "traces of time" suddenly showed a trace of nostalgia.
"Master Pei, Master Pei?"
"The time is coming soon, do you want to take charge of the overall situation?"
He stretched out his hand and waved it in the light. The afterglow of the setting sun was naturally cut into several strips by his palm, and then quickly recovered.
It wasn't until three or five times later that Pei Shao, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly reacted and stood up suddenly at a speed that was not suitable for his age and body.
He paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and said repeatedly:
“It’s time to prepare, it’s time to prepare!”
“ Teacher Su, you should also prepare.”
Pointing in the direction of the canteen, the two looked at each other and both laughed.
But it was different from before, after an in-depth trial.
Sumo got what he wanted.
Pei Shao also seemed to have verified some of his ideas, and his attitude began to become slightly different.
Everything seems to have stayed the same, but also seems to have changed, stuck at a perfect balance point.
Tianyuan territory, Fishman City.
Living in a hotel with a height of seven floors, Zhang Min sat in a prime position on the fifth floor, looking directly at the direction of the castle.
Unknowingly, she had been waiting for four days in this fishy city.
Every morning at six o'clock, she would get up on time, sit on the balcony and look at the people coming in and out of the castle to see if there was the "Second Prince" Yu Chenghui she was following.
Until noon, until evening.
Even during meal time, Zhang Min always greeted the maid and sent her directly to the balcony, for fear of missing the opportunity to "bump into" Yu Chenghui.
However, God did not fulfill his wishes.
For four days, she still found nothing.
Even though she was familiar with the tall murloc guards at the door, she could not find out the specific time when the second prince Yu Chenghui would return.
Every time, the answer is the same.
Maybe a week, maybe tomorrow!
"Miss, why don't you go and rest for a while, and we will help you keep an eye on it"
Seeing that Zhang Min's eyes were filled with scary red bloodshot eyes, the two of them came over The maid couldn't help but worry and advised.
But unfortunately, Zhang Min, who was already obsessed with her words, turned a deaf ear to them and was completely immersed in his own world.
If you get close to her mouth, you can even hear her whispering:
"Come back quickly, come back quickly"
"Miss."
Flocculant City is located to the north, and the scorching heat of the sun is a bit more severe than that of Sangtian Town.
Sitting on the balcony from noon until the sun was about to set, Zhang Min's face was already covered with traces of sweat.
Looking at the last trace of twilight on the horizon, the castle still looked motionless.
For some reason, her vision suddenly went dark, and she suddenly fell onto the balcony railing.
This time, it was so hard and fast that her body was about to fly out of the guardrail and fall directly from the fifth floor.
But fortunately, one of the two little maids has not left completely.
The moment he heard the sound from behind, he quickly turned his head and almost caught Zhang Min, causing her to knock her head heavily on the railing.
Pfft.
External fire attacks the body, internal fire attacks the heart.
Although Zhang Min woke up after this collision, his throat suddenly felt sweet, and traces of bright red blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth.
Looking at this, it is obvious that his vitality has been damaged.
"Miss, you must rest today!"
Looking at Zhang Min's miserable appearance, the two maids were so frightened that they couldn't help crying.
At this time, the severe pain coming from his head gradually made Zhang Min wake up.
"I, I'm not okay, just take a rest."
After saying a few words intermittently, Zhang Min only felt that all his strength was disappearing quickly, as if he was seriously ill.
Even though she was being carried by two maids, she did not exert any strength and her whole body was limp.
One step.
step.
After guarding the balcony for several days, I began to retreat rapidly.
With the last trace of nostalgia, Zhang Min seemed to want to take one last look at the place where he had been staying for several days.
But just as she turned her head, she saw a flag suddenly raised from the castle not far away
She lived!
In the frightened eyes of the two maids, it was as if adrenaline was suddenly injected into Zhang Min, who was obviously very weak just now.
The next second, it fell directly to the ground and bounced up suddenly, as if dozens of windings had been added to the toy that had lost its power.
"Prince Yuyu Chenghui is back. Hurry, hurry up and dress me up."
"I want to see the second prince, I want to see him!"
