The morning in the desert always comes very early, and the people of Huangsha Village get up early, and a new day begins. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiaohu, I'm going to the Hunters Guild today to submit an exploration report, and by the way, I will ask about some things, and you can help me prepare supplies, this is the list of supplies, and this is the money."

Red Star told Xiaohu that although Xiaohu is not good at arithmetic, there are no profiteers in this world, so Red Star doesn't have to worry about Xiaohu being deceived when he buys things.

“…… Woo meow, there's a lot to buy! Xiaohu showed a troubled expression, but in the next second, he revealed his intentions, "As a reward, can I go buy fresh fish to eat?" ”

"Huh! Of course, the money prepared for you, in addition to buying these supplies, is enough for you to eat a big meal today. Red Star smiled and patted Xiaohu's head.

"Meow, that's great! I'll go! Little Tiger's saliva was about to flow out, he meowed, and went straight in the direction of the market.

The red star, who watched Xiaohu leave, didn't linger here, and went directly to the Hunter Guild.

Walking into the Hunter's Guild, today's Hunter's Guild is still lively, early in the morning, there are more than a dozen hunters sitting here, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast specially prepared by the skilled chef Ailu Cat.

"Xiao Hongling, look, what is this~~~"

"This, it's actually a tropical strawberry!"

Tropical strawberry, a herbaceous fruit that grows in desert oases, has a very sweet taste and is known as the "king of fruits", and its fruit is generally eaten by nearby herbivores as soon as it is ripe, so it is relatively rare.

"Hehe, that's right, genuine tropical strawberries, I, but as soon as I found this, I even gave up the task and collected it directly and brought it back to Xiaohongling!"

Tropical strawberries can be kept fresh for about 15 days if they are properly stored.

"Woo, Uncle Beard, you're so good to me!"

"Haha, of course, you grew up with me, I'm not good to you, I'm good to anyone! Come on, try it! ”

“…… It's delicious! Uncle Beard, you can eat it too. ”

"Suck~~~ cough! Well, Uncle Beard, I don't like to eat such sweet things, so let's give it to Xiao Hongling! ”

Red Star, who walked into the Hunter's Guild, saw such a scene.

"Red Star, you're here!"

The sharp eyes of Hongling on the kanban platform over there saw the arrival of the red star at a glance, and hurriedly waved her hand to the red star.

"Well, good morning."

"Good morning! By the way, Red Star, do you want to try it, this is a tropical strawberry~~"

After the two said hello, they saw Hongxing coming to the counter, Hongling looked at Hongxing, then at the tropical strawberries placed on the counter, and asked enthusiastically.

"Ha, ha, I don't think so." Hongxing could feel a pair of self-killing eyes from Uncle Beard staring at him wantonly, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he laughed twice, and politely refused, "I don't like to eat sweet things very much." ”

"Huh?! You and Uncle Beard don't like sweets! It's a pity that I can only eat such delicious tropical strawberries alone. Where did the simple Hongling think of the curved road here, she sighed for a moment, so she didn't care, but suddenly smiled and said to Hongxing, "By the way, Hongxing, you made an appointment yesterday to tell me about your desert exploration experience, haven't you forgotten?" ”

"No," Red Star shook his head, "I'm not in a hurry for now, I'm going to report on this exploration mission first, and then I have a little more to inquire about." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take care of it for you right away."

Hongling, who dreamed of becoming a hunter, is still a conscientious Kanban girl, and when she heard Hongxing's words, she hurriedly returned to work.

"It's been dealt with, according to the progress of your exploration mission, the Hunter Guild will give you a reward of 4000Z, please take it." Hong Ling said as she pointed at the map submitted by Red Star, "In addition, you have found a large group of Yellow Speed Dragons led by the Yellow Speed Dragon King near this supply camp, this is quite important information, this is an additional intelligence reward of 1000Z. ”

"Hmm."

Generally speaking, 100Z is enough for the expenses of an ordinary family for a day, and for hunters, the cost of buying equipment, upgrading equipment, buying potions, buying props, buying supplies, etc., will only be greater.

"So, what do you want to consult?"

"Well, I want to know first that the exploration progress of the desert area development team is still 600-700 kilometers away from Huangsha Village?"

"Yes, in recent times, the exploration progress of the pioneer team has not progressed, and it has been unable to open up the situation for a long time."

"Is the root cause of the consumption and transportation of supplies?"

Red Star thought for a moment and asked.

"That's right, because of the desert climate and sandy land, it is difficult for the supply delivery team to make a difference, and although the practice of establishing a temporary supply camp in the desert is feasible, it is only suitable for short-distance and long-distance conditions, and the maintenance problem cannot be solved at all."

In ancient times, the problem of transportation, generally speaking, either to build a canal and rely on canal transportation, but the construction of a canal is too costly and manpower-intensive, and the example of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, must have heard a lot; Either build big ships and rely on sea transportation, but you must be careful of the wind and waves of the sea, as well as pirates; Either the road is built and the road is transported by land, and the cost of building the road is still not low.

Back to the dilemma faced by the desert area development team, as Hong Ling said, the climate of the desert, as well as the soft sand surface of the desert, are not suitable for transportation at all, not to mention the various monsters that infest the desert, which basically eliminates the feasibility of this road.

Then, land, sea, river, in the desert, if it doesn't work......

"Isn't there a hot air balloon? Has the guild considered relying on hot air balloon transportation? ”

Red Star subconsciously thought of air freight.

"It's a pity that the guild has tried to do this, but even a high-performance hot air balloon made by Jing Jing can't survive the ravages of sandstorms."

It seems that Red Star's idea has been implemented a long time ago, and the scholars of the Scholars Guild are not vegetarians.

"Is there no other way?"

Red Star looked disappointed, if he couldn't explore the desert more deeply, just like his exploration this time, he advanced to the farthest supply, and after finally replenishing it, he could only insist on ten more days of in-depth exploration, and only by going deeper into the desert, the higher the probability of him discovering the ruins!

"For now, yes. The scholars of the Scholars Guild are also looking for a feasible way to solve this problem. ”

“…… I see, I don't have any other questions. Hongxing sighed secretly in his heart, and said quietly on his face, "Then will I tell you about my desert exploration experience now?" ”

"That's great!"

Hongling regained her lively appearance, she happily clasped her hands and said.
