Chapter 43: The Energy Stone of the Isle of Light
After entering Guangming Island, Jin Rui immediately looked for a suitable place to live, and after shopping for a few hours, Jin Rui finally decided to settle down in a remote hotel, the price of Guangming Island is very expensive, and there are either people living in it or ordinary laborers, and even such a remote small hotel has to pay 460 smart points a month. Jin Rui took the energy card and touched the sensor on the watch, and after a drip, the watch showed the number '76535'
After getting dark and busy with the residence, Jin Rui took Tanya and Boris to wander around the street, before it was completely night, the streets were already brightly lit, and the cars were weaving like shuttles, as if the end of the world had never come. Jin Rui, who was still thinking about what to do next, suddenly protested at this time, and there was a large shop at the corner of the street, and the sign of the store said - Xiaomo Bar. After looking at the halal beef noodles next to him, Jin Rui decided to go to the bar and sit down.
As soon as he opened the door of the store, Jin Rui felt the smell of wine coming to his face, Jin Rui took a closer look around the store, except for the three tables closest to the bar counter, no one sits, the other positions were full of people, and there were a few shirtless sweaters standing in the corner with large glass wine glasses, and only after Jin Rui sat down and prepared to order food did he know that the seats here were specially reserved for the rich to sit, and they needed to spend more than 1000 smart points to sit down.
Jin Rui frowned after opening the menu, not to mention that the dishes were basically vegetarian, and the wine was only mead and coconut wine. There is also the proportion of water mixed with high and low prices are not the same, after raising his head, Jin Rui found that almost all the seats present were filled with kelp, shredded potatoes and other vegetarian dishes, and the helpless Jin Rui had to order two plates of cold tofu shredded, mixed cucumber, fried ham, and fried chestnuts with sugar. I ordered mead, which was not watery, and the main dish was brown bread and a bowl of kelp soup.
Jin Rui felt that his teeth were about to be knocked out after taking a bite of the black bread, and there were also starchy sticky teeth in the ham. Helpless, Jin Rui had no choice but to take out four cans of meat from his backpack and dismantle them for snack.
Jin Rui picked up a chestnut and asked Tanya and Boris, "Have you ever eaten this thing?" ”
Tanya looked at the small black sphere in front of her curiously and said, "I haven't eaten it!" ”
Boris picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "It's kind of like meat, but I don't have it in my home country." ”
Jin Rui sighed and said, "It seems that this thing can still be eaten tonight, let's eat the canned food we brought, so as not to have diarrhea later." ”
At this time, a dark-skinned man shouted dissatisfiedly: "Boss, is your soup unsalted, and it doesn't taste at all." And why is this wine mixed with so much water today? ”
The boss turned around impatiently and said: "You poor can pay a few dollars, and you are still picky all day long, and when you are drunk, hurry up and get out of me, ask for so much!" Defect. ”
"What! Lao Tzu dug that broken energy mine just to drink for a day, and you even want to adulterate to see if I don't clean you up. As soon as he finished speaking, the man stood up and prepared to fight with the boss, and the people around him also took the opportunity to coax, some persuaded the fight, and some followed to find trouble.
Just when everyone thought the show was about to begin, the man in the VIP seat stood up and shouted
Jin Rui: "Brothers, don't fight first, my name is Jin Elephant, I arrived here at the beginning of today, if you are willing to sell me a face, how about I have all the wine money tonight?" ”
"Golden Elephant, Golden Elephant...."Hearing that someone invited someone to drink, everyone raised their glasses and shouted Jin Rui's name.
Jin Rui said to the dark-skinned man: "Since the fight can't be done, brother, why don't you come and sit down and have a drink together?" ”
The man immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Jin, the little one's name is Zhang Lin, I really laughed just now." After sitting down, Zhang Lin took a big sip of wine and said, "Ah, I haven't drunk such a strong wine for a long time, it's delicious." I don't know if Mr. Jin needs me to do something for you? I'm very familiar with this scene, especially those good-looking girls. ”
Jin Rui smiled and said: "No need to call the master, I'm still very young, I just want to ask your job, where do you work, is the energy mine you just said this thing?" After speaking, Jin Rui handed a blue nuclear crystal to Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin glanced at it and said: "Then call you Brother Jin, Brother Jin, this thing is an energy stone, the energy mine is unprocessed, this is a finished product in your hand, I work in the energy mine on the north coast, and I have to dig this energy mine every day, on average, there is a tide every two nights, and the rocks on the coast will be covered with such energy mines after the tide goes out. All the power-hungry items on the island of light need energy from this thing, and some of them are processed and sold as batteries, and when the energy is used up, it will become a pile of powder. ”
Jin Rui filtered the useful information and said, "There are no good dishes, let's eat some canned meat that I brought!" ”
Zhang Lin's eyes stared at the canned meat that was opened in front of him and said: "Brother Jin, you are really rich, it is really rare to have a rich and no shelf like you these days, if this thing is sold on the black market, it can sell at least twenty times the price of meat!" Can I really eat it? ”
Jin Rui: "It's okay to eat, if it's not enough, I still have it, but the condition is that you have to tell me about the black market." ”
Zhang Lin took a piece of pork belly covered with sauce and put it in his mouth for a long time before saying: "Black market, so I can tell you everything I know, there is a large corner field in the west direction of the tower, and the black market is just behind the corner field, where everything is sold and rich people go." ”
Jin Rui continued to ask: "There are all the gladiatorial arenas, has it been timed back in time to the Roman era here?" ”
Zhang Lin swallowed another sip of wine and said: "It's all the crooked thoughts that rich people come up with, they just think that there are few entertainment items, and they use duels to gamble money, and sometimes it's not a duel between people, there are zombies, and some animals that are many times larger than usual and crazy duels." ”
"Oh, I see!" Jin Rui thought for a while and then said, "Brother Zhang, what is the color of the energy stones you dug up?" ”
Zhang Lin: "White, blue is the majority, sometimes there are purple ones in individual rocks, and a small piece of golden energy stone was found last month!" ”
Jin Rui: "Golden? ”
Zhang Lin: "Yes, it's golden, but I've encountered it once." ”
Jin Rui thought for a while, took out a box of unopened canned meat from his backpack and said: "I gave you this box of canned food, so next time you dig up a purple or golden stone, I will give it to me at a high price, how about I charge it at a high price?" ”
Zhang Lin hesitantly glanced at the can and whispered: "Brother Jin, it would be a capital crime to carry ore without permission if it was discovered, but for the sake of Brother Jin's affection and righteousness, I am willing to steal a small piece from you." ”
Jin Rui took out his watch and said, "Really? Thank you so much, what is your ID, I'll use this to contact you then. ”
Zhang Lin said with a smile: "Brother Jin, you can only use this thing if you are rich, we ordinary laborers don't have this watch, I drink here every night, one day you think of me and come to me, maybe I have the goods in my hand, what do you think?" ”
Jin Rui patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, brother, you sit here and continue to eat, I've already paid the bill, I'll go back and rest first." ”
Zhang Lin: "Okay, Brother Jin, go slowly!"
Jin Rui lay in bed all night tossing and turning, every time he closed his eyes, he remembered the strange black market and the arena, and for the first time since the end of the world, he hoped that the next day would come earlier.
