Chapter 920: Prosperous small market, second cornerstone point!
"Get ready, we should go back."
Looking at the large map mapped out on the adventurer's terminal, Sumo was very satisfied.
According to this progress, it may not take a few days to complete the perimeter detection and call in the hungry scavengers in the village to come over and sweep.
It’s not just the small items that have no “value” that are valuable here, but also the concrete, steel bars, and worn-out furniture that are extremely difficult to move. They all have a lot of value.
As for the high-rise area further inside...
Sumo is not stupid and clearly knows the fighting power of the village.
In the future wasteland, it was the battle at the end of the year that forced the village's militia to undergo a qualitative change in their combat effectiveness. They gained experience in blood and tears, and finally achieved a feat in battle that was famous throughout the wasteland.
Now the updated version of the game has postponed the war, but with Qinggang City as an alternative, it can be gradually improved in a more gentle way.
No rush.
Don't be in a hurry.
"Director, I always feel that there is something spying on us." Feng Long stepped out from a corner, shook the plaster on his hands, and scanned the surrounding fog vigilantly. asked.
The helmet popped open, revealing Somo's face and answered casually.
"Maybe they are the aboriginal people around here."
"Aboriginal people? Then why don't we chase after them?"
"Catch up? Fight them to the death in this strange environment?" Sumo laughed: "This is not the Blue Star of the Butterfly Universe, and Qinggang City will not grow another leg and run away."
“I won’t run away.”
Feng Long closed his mouth and stopped talking as if he didn’t understand.
He had a headache just now. He was just afraid that these people were not like the aborigines trapped and dead upstairs in the fifth floor area. They ran away from the fog and it would be difficult to find them.
But now he suddenly turned around and understood the underlying meaning of Somo's words.
This Qinggang City is not a "Fifth Floor District". These people follow the city and appear here. Is it possible that they can escape?
Secretly remembering the feeling of being spied on just now, the Longming team quickly gathered and returned along the original road.
The fog behind them closed up, quickly burying the traces left behind by everyone.
Only a few black shadows occasionally ran across the footprints left on the ground, screaming, as if condemning these uninvited guests.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon.
The Dihu, bringing with it a billowing smoke, quickly approached from a distance and stopped in front of Tianyuan Military Camp.
The goods received from this trip to Qinggang City are still very generous even without counting the peripheral maps. Dihu’s trunk has been filled with all kinds of small items, including two gold rings weighing 5g. !
This is a good thing, one step closer to creating the first adventurer terminal.
Instructing Feng Long to send some of the items with repair value to the underground shelter, Sumo took a few steps toward the village, and his attention was attracted by the square in front of the village wrapped in thick fog.
Compared with the desolation before, the current bustling of the small square is simply exaggerated.
Thousands of people crowded into this open space, and stalls of various sizes were scattered in a scattered manner.
Except for some people watching the excitement, most of the stalls were scavengers, selling materials found in the ruins of buildings and charging them at low prices or not at all.
“I giao, no one needs such a good safe, decorate it with something and keep it safe so no one can steal it!”
“Two pieces of floral cloth, do you need any clothes? Ahem, do you have any? The man who is passionately in love gave his wife a gift to propose marriage.”
“Six big crickets, what? You don’t care why they have such big fists. This thing is high-quality protein. You can just say whether you want to eat it or not.” It’s over.”
"A tire, only exchange for Tianyuan coins, nothing else."
"Is there anyone from the South 49th direction who will set out at 7:30 tomorrow to form a team and find a reliable reserve soldier?"< br>
"Liu Meng, what are you talking about? Don't let me run away. You cheated me of two iron coins today. I have to take you to the Public Security Department!"
"."
< br>The outermost market was in chaos. Even though there were many militiamen responsible for maintaining order, their voices were suppressed by the continuous shouting.
These villagers who chose the scavenger route already fully understood the purchasing power of Tianyuan Iron Coins after the first day.
In order not to go hungry, even buy better equipment.
They urgently need to sell what they have to ensure that their exploration progress is always at the forefront.
Those other routes working in or around the village also have idle Tianyuan iron coins in their hands and need to exchange materials to improve their lives.
The demand of the two came together, and the market size increased more than ten times in just one day.
Going inward along the only passable road, there were many people setting up stalls and "performing" along the way.
Most people put in front of them a discarded brick that they found somewhere, with specialties and routes written on it in black charcoal.
A complete team of scavengers, except for the scavengers whose physical strength depletes very slowly and can constantly rummage through the ruins.
At least two strong construction apprentices are required to remove the debris blocking the road and carry the picked-up items.
In addition, it is best to have a reserve soldier to protect against possible dangers during exploration and further ensure the efficiency of the team.
Now that the main channel can only chat on the public screen but not privately, this kind of showmanship is indeed a good way.
However, these stalls on the periphery are far different from those near the village.
Looking closely through the fog, Somo was a little stunned.
Before, he thought that the flow of people blocked at the entrance of the village was caused by people queuing up to go to the village and stopping to chat on the way.
Looking now, wherever the crowd is blocked, there are obviously several long lines.
Those brightly lit stalls were all selling food, and business was booming.
"Hey, ramen juice. He opened the ramen stall to the village gate?"
Sumo was softly surprised.
He did not expect that the person with the largest number of people in line would be Ma Haoge, who was the first to pass the route test and successfully choose the chef apprentice route.
Before, Chen Shen said that this person wanted to go out and work alone and break away from the village canteen system.
Looking at it now, his choice was indeed the right one.
Even if one person only earns 0.1 iron coins when doing business here, the nearly 100 people in line alone can provide a day's income for ordinary route users.
If the profits were higher, the number of people would be larger.
Dozens of iron coins a day
Good guy.
Food is the most important thing for the people, this is the real craftsman!
At this rate of collecting money, Su Mo fully believed that Ma Haoge was going to open the first small store in the village that did not rely on loans.
“No, there are so many people, I’m going to have a taste too.”
Arriving at the ramen stall and standing behind the queue, Somo looked left and right, feeling strange. .
I don’t know where the geniuses in the village who have chosen to be chef apprentices find their seasonings and kitchen utensils.
Except for the ramen stalls around.
There is also no shortage of people queuing up in front of stalls such as multigrain pancakes, stone-ground rice rolls, wild vegetable fried rice, dry steamed flatbreads, etc.
Compared with the prices in the canteen, there is no need to pay rent for the stalls, which can naturally further reduce costs.
Especially the dry steamed pancake. You can buy a palm-sized pancake for just one iron coin.
Even though the taste may be average, it is perfect for satisfying hunger or as dry food.
"It seems that I was negligent. At this stage, the canteen is purely a luxury consumption. Not only the villagers have to spend an extra sum, but the people who contract the windows also have to pay an extra sum."
"Stall economy. ”
For everything that happened before him, Sumo quickly figured out the negligence in the reform process. Again, it’s the relationship between demand and market.
In his initial thoughts, he never expected that these people would move their stalls to such a place so quickly to achieve scale.
Now that I think about it, the poor and destitute villagers would like to break every penny in half and spend it, and save whatever they can.
Under such huge demand, it is also the public's wish to set up street stalls quickly to save costs.
If public buildings in the village are to be developed in the future, or those who open shops will not be stumped by the pressure of rent.
Either introduce restrictive policies to suppress these stalls and charge fees similar to those in buildings.
Or increase the attractiveness of the building, at least have the benefits that can be clearly seen.
"Upgrade the building?"
Thinking in his heart, Sumo continued to follow the queue and came to Ma Haoge's stall.
"Hello, there are dry ramen and vegetarian ramen now, may I ask."
Subconsciously reporting the only menu, Ma Haoge raised his head and was so frightened that he almost pulled the noodles in his hand. Throw it out.
Holy shit.
Is Su Shen here?
Why did the lord come to visit my ramen stall on the first day it opened?
Is it because he opened it here without any formalities and took away the canteen’s business? Lord, don’t you? Satisfied?
"Lord, are you here to eat noodles?"
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Ma Haoge's forehead, and the smile on his face froze.
But what surprised him was that the lord, who seemed to be thinking about the problem with a frown, didn't say much.
He reached into his pocket and found five iron coins in Somo's hand.
"One for each."
"Okay!!!"
Looking at the lord sitting on the small table he had set up, he immediately All the singers swung out phantoms.
Crack!
Pop!
The crunching sound of the noodles hitting the chopping board made people salivate, and the hot iron pot next to them was steaming with steam.
A unique noodle flavor surges out along with the hot air, seeming to merge with the noodles flying in the mist.
At this moment, Ma Haoge's attention reached an unprecedented level of concentration.
All he could see was the flying noodles and the rhythmic beating of the chopping board.
One points two, two points four, four points eight!
Knead again!
As the noodles are pulled and slapped, more and more force is transferred in and fused with the gluten.
Wow!
After kneading the noodles six times and sweating heavily on his head, Ma Haoge dropped the noodles into the pot accurately with a flick of his hand.
But it was at this moment that all the villagers in Tianyuan’s territory saw three prompts on the game panel.
[Record]: Congratulations to Tianyuan Territory player "Ramen Juicing" for successfully completing the hidden route mission.
[Record]: The player's "Ramen Juicing" level is increased by lv1 and he gets "1" free attribute point.
[Record]: Congratulations to Tianyuan Territory player "Ramen Juice" for being the seventh player to successfully complete the hidden route mission, and automatically receive +1 free route point
"What the hell, the boss of the noodle stall at the door has completed the hidden route mission?"
"What the hell, there are also hidden missions, what is the task of the scavengers? Isn't this a scam?"
>
"Quick, quick, hurry up and go find him and ask him what the hidden mission is. See if we can complete it and move up a level!"
"Damn, the Europeans are so damned."
"The lord is eating noodles at the noodle stall where ramen juice is squeezed. I'm afraid it's not needed to complete the hidden route mission. Ahem, I mean you need the lord's help?"
"Wow, don't squeeze me, are you crazy?"
"."
Some villagers who were still resting in the village saw someone appear in the territorial group chat channel The new news suddenly exploded.
? ? ?
Hidden tasks?
Is this thing that drags everyone to the wasteland really crazy? Does it really need to be regulated according to the game on earth?
Now that no one has figured out how to improve their level, Ma Haoge has taken the lead in setting an example.
Hidden missions, directly to the first level, and there are also rarer free route points.
Seeing the villagers lining up behind shouting and rushing forward, Ma Haoge reacted and quickly closed the game panel.
He coughed lightly, picked up the pot and spoon, knocked it on the chopping board calmly, and said loudly:
"Ahem, they are all crowded, yes, yes, I am talking about you, a bunch of beasts, don't collapse my stall."
"This is a reward given to me by the lord, you are crowding me." The noodles are in soup.”
The forefoot soma has just arrived.
He completed the hiding mission with his back foot.
It is said that this is a reward from the lord, so there is no problem at all.
In addition, he himself was confused when completing this hidden mission, and the game didn't tell him what he had accomplished at all.
Seeing the calm smile on Somo's face at the table, Ma Haoge paused and made a deeper judgment in his heart.
However, what he didn't know was.
Under this smiling face, how much ecstasy Somo suppressed.
In addition to the three items distributed to all players on the public game screen, there are two additional items on the territory management panel!
[Record]: Congratulations to the first self-promoted player in Tianyuan Territory, achievement: upgraded (entry; achieved)
[Record]: Congratulations to the player "Ma Haoge" for becoming the first "Chef Apprentice" route in the game Players who complete the hidden mission will be rewarded with territory route-cornerstone action points (chef apprentice route)*1 in the game.
Achievements + Points.
Two bowls of noodles actually brought such a surprise.
Looking at the villagers swarming in, Sumo picked up a large, clean pottery bowl and simply put two bowls of noodles in it.
"I'll have someone bring it back to you after eating."
Leaving a message, Somo left in a hurry along the path maintained by the guards.
Whether this bowl of noodles is fragrant or not, it doesn’t matter what it tastes like now.
The second time I obtained this action point, it was still specifically limited to the points for a specific chef apprentice route.
Sumo was extremely curious about what new effects it could bring to this route by adding more points.
In addition, what is the hidden mission Ma Haoge just completed must be investigated as soon as possible.
“It seems that I must choose a route as soon as possible. If I can complete the hidden tasks, whether it is to increase the level or gain points, I will always be at the forefront of the version.”
Sitting on the first floor of the shelter, I slurped down a large bowl of noodles, looking at the shelter below me, and then at the Hope Village hidden in the mist in the distance.
Sumo has made a decision.
Seven routes, three routes with distinct advantages and disadvantages: scavengers, reserve soldiers, and farmers, are naturally eliminated.
The remaining chef apprentices need to make a lot of food to gain experience, which is a waste of time and has no choice.
Only among the last three remaining, handicraft enthusiasts, mechanical apprentices, and construction apprentices.
“Start the game and choose the cornerstone of the route!”
