Chapter 15: The Bounty
The two stepped into the house. Xiao Lei was relieved to see his food. Then he and the fat man came to Wu Yun's side and sat down with a smile. The fat man spoke first: "You are really not simple. Why didn't you say you had such a skill when I asked you before? ”
Wu Yun smiled bitterly. How can I say that I am just an ordinary otaku office worker. First, he can't fight, he can't shoot, and third, he can't drive a chariot. There is basically no way out of this inexplicable world. If it weren't for your food force, Z would have almost vomited to death. I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to find a way to dig out this "talent"... Of course, this is what he thinks in his heart. Not a word was spoken.
"By the way, it's true that you didn't take advantage of the knife you said before?" Kasan remembered what Wu Yun had said earlier at the bar. Hurriedly asked.
"That's it. What kind of knife are you going to use? Xiao Lei interjected curiously. I can go to the weapons shop and find it for you. ”
"Not really." Wu Yun hurriedly stopped him, if he could find a thick-backed kitchen knife in a weapon shop in a border village in this apocalyptic world. He might as well expect to dig directly under his feet and dig up a Freedom Gundam, which is much more likely. "My knife is special. I don't think you can find it here. Xiao Lei didn't say anything after listening. But apparently not too dead.
Aside from digging Gundam, it's still reliable to do something in front of you. "Kassan, are there any sour melons or fruits nearby?" Wu Yun originally wanted to ask the fat man this question, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to ask the girl this question.
"There's a lot of fruit out there." But I'm not quite good at saying what you're talking about. Kasan hesitated. looks like he wants to speak and stops.
"You really are. Let's just go out and look for it together tomorrow. The fat man looked disapproving when he saw Kashan's troubled look, and now he became the most active supporter of meeting Wu Yun's needs.
"yes, I didn't expect it to be so simple." Kasan patted her head a little frustrated.
Wu Yun was also curious about what the outside world looked like. The previous trip out of the village was convenient. Didn't pay attention to anything at all.
So he readily agreed to the offer. Fat Thunder and Kashan were all smiling, and it seemed that everyone was very happy with this decision
"You two fools, you're very fast." Just as several people were happily gathered around to discuss preparations for tomorrow, Kanu's cold voice came from outside the door. Xiao Lei and the fat man invariably shrunk their necks. All eyes were on the door. Kanu was walking in, his face a little cold, but also a little flushed. Wu Yun took a closer look, and there was indeed a red mark on his forehead that had been smashed by some hard object. It seems that what Xiao Lei said is true.
"Uncle Kanu, are you alright?" Apparently Kasan noticed that, too. Kanu didn't answer, touching her forehead and shaking her head.
"Did you make this breadfruit?" Kanu went straight to the table, picked up the breadfruit that Xiao Lei hadn't eaten before, and looked at Wu Yun. Wu Yun nodded. He glanced at him. saw the expressions of the two people sitting next to him very different: Xiao Lei cried with a sad face and a look of regret. And the fat man's gloating expression. It makes you want to go up and smoke him.
"Those guys are so fast. I didn't eat any of them. Kanu said as she shoved breadfruit into her mouth. Wu Yun wanted to stop it, but it was too late. I saw a breadfruit disappear in front of everyone.
"Anything else?" He smashed his mouth and couldn't finish it. Wu Yun saw Suo Lu slowly reach out and pick up the two of his to hand them out. In the spirit of respecting the old man, he hurriedly sent the remaining one of his own who did not move. Kanu noticed his move. I didn't say anything and took it. He started munching again.
Anyway, there is still a bunch of breadfruit in the box, just bake some more when you are hungry, after all, the melon sauce is just a half-finished thing for Wu Yun. The difference between having stuffing and not stuffing is not very big. After all, he has survived on this for the past two days. I still like the taste of this thing.
"What do you think of this thing?" The village chief of Solu waited for Kanuri to kill Wu Yun's one. He asked as he handed him a glass of water.
"Good stuff! Ordinary breadfruit sells for 3 gold, and no one asks. With this double, there are still people to rob it. Kanu took another big sip of water. I thought everyone was joining in the fun. I found out after eating it. That's a good thing. ”
"Is it really made of melon, sugar, and branches?" Kanu suddenly thought of something and asked a little anxiously.
Twig? Who has such a big brain? Wu Yun was a little puzzled. However, seeing Xiao Lei's weak heart, he probably knew it in his heart. "Just with sugar and ghost melons." He explained.
"How much sugar was used? How many were done. "Kanu is a businessman, and it's clear that the cost is being calculated. Kasan hurriedly pulled out the sugar jar from the kitchen.
"Twenty-three were done. That's probably it. Kashan gestured with her hand.
"Hehe, I'll just say that I won't lose anything." Kanu smiled happily. "Sugar is not cheap though. But at this dosage. It's a great deal. ”
"Uncle Kanu, we just said we were going out to find some more materials." Xiao Lei looked like he couldn't hide his secret.
"Oh, that's for the best." As he spoke, Kanu dropped something on the table. The crisp sound of metal striking startled everyone. When you look closely, it's a gray cloth bag. Inside was apparently a bunch of coins or something.
Could this be the culprit? Wu Yun couldn't help but look at the scar on Kanu's forehead again. He looked at Xiao Lei, and sure enough, this was right.
"This is breadfruit money, Wu Yun went out for the first time, it's better to buy some equipment or something." Kanu looked like an experienced man. The rest of the people all looked at Wu Yun. Wait for him to put the money bag away.
Wu Yun didn't stretch out his hand. After all, I have only come to this world, and I have no concept of money here. He thought about it for a moment. Asked the trio. "How do you usually distribute the money when you get it?"
Xiao Lei was a little panicked though. But as always, the mouth is fast. "The prey that we go out with is generally quartile in quarters. But there are not many opportunities to get money. ”
"Then add me one. After fifths. That's how the money is divided. "The way people used to treat him as their own made him feel very warm. So he really wants to be part of the collective.
"That's not good, you still have to buy equipment." Kashan objected first. "And it's basically all your work." The fat man and Xiao Lei also echoed the voice.
"First of all, sugar and breadfruit are things in the house. The melon was brought by a fat man. Wu Yun gradually found that it was very easy to deal with the people here with his mouth. One word. Kasan blushed. And the fat man and Xiao Lei looked like they wanted to open their mouths but couldn't speak, which made people laugh very much.
"This time, I'm going to buy equipment first. The rest is divided. "Solu, who has been watching for a long time, finally made a decision." Kassan, you put the money away. You go together to help Wu Yun see what he needs to buy. When everyone heard this, they all acquiesced in this decision.
Kasan opened the bag. Dumping the money in the bag on the table, several young people rarely saw so much money, and they all came over to help count it. Wu Yun picked up a coin. Keep an eye on it. The shiny yellow coin of this feels very rough to make. There is no pattern on the surface, and various scratches on it indicate that the material is very soft. It's hardly always what we call a coin. Because it can only be considered an approximate circle at best. The edges are all potholed. There are also no obvious pros and cons. It gives people the feeling that it is simply flattened by a person who takes a hammer and smashes it flat.
"Oops" just when Wu Yun wanted to try to bite it to see if it was gold. An exclamation came.
"It's not the right number. That's almost 80G. Kasan turned her head to look at Kanu. We only took the past 7. One 6g. Then it should be ... How much should it be? Wu Yun glanced at the girl curiously. Her math skills seem to be poor. When he saw the expressions of Xiao Lei and the fat man in a blink of an eye, Wu Yun immediately changed the subject of this sentence to them (them).
"It should be 42." Kanu seems to have become accustomed to everyone's bad math. "The rest is a bounty."
"Bounty? You're kidding. The shocked appearance of the three made Wu Yun very curious about this word. The fat man became his living dictionary again. After the fat man explained for a long time, Wu Yun got a general idea. Bounties are found, hired, and hunted notices issued by third parties. A process in which the bounty is then paid based on whether it is completed or not. Due to the fact that the bounty is paid in advance. Generally, people with prestige or industry are found as third parties, and the third party will also appropriately take fees. In Mado Village, due to Solu's advanced age, Kanu basically does this thing. This is also an important reason why his bar business has been good. But this time there is a bounty for a few baobabs, not to mention Mado, something that I haven't heard of anywhere. So it's not surprising that everyone is so surprised.
"Don't call you weird. It's the first time I've been running a bar for so many years that I've encountered something like this. Kanu shook her head. At first, I thought Claire was joking, so I ignored her. As a result, he immediately hit her. He touched his forehead again. I realized that she was very serious. ”
"But it's because this is the bounty that I gave you the money beforehand. This mission shouldn't fail, right? Kanu looked at Wu Yun. Oh, by the way, I told them three days. However, it should be possible to grace for a few days. Kanu was still a little uneasy when he saw Wu Yun's calm face, and he hurriedly talked about the deadline. However, he was not too worried about this, and there were very few bounties that were actually completed within the deadline. Besides, looking at the woman's appearance, I guess it's okay to wait.
"This? Task? Is it to make jam? How did this thing fail? When I'm an idiot? Take 10,000 steps back. If it's really bad, if you can't do it again, it's over. Wu Yun was very puzzled.
Seeing that everyone was worried. Wu Yun hurriedly made a guarantee before they might say something very calm, but indeed hurtful.
"It's not too early. Kashan, you take Wu Yun to buy equipment, and Ledo will be closed later. Soru reminded the crowd.
A few people woke up from a dream. Kasan hurriedly put away her purse and walked out. Xiao Lei rushed out of the hall first. And the fat man pulled up Wu Yun and followed.
"Alright, Kanu, you have something to say." Chief Soru looked at Kanu, who was sitting across from him. This stout man, who had always been calm, had a happy face, and it was obvious that he had something important to discuss with him.
