Chapter 300: The Unexpected (End of Volume 5)
On the streets of the big market, even though it was already early in the morning, there were still many people, as if there were several times more than during the day half a month ago.
Zhang Xiaowu walked down the street again, frowning. Now he has turned into an ordinary Chosen One, with a jacket, combat pants, and a gas mask over his face.
"What's going on? Why so many new faces. ”
He wondered not about anything else, but how there could be so many Chosen ones on this street. In the previous blood trial, it attracted almost the Chosen One of the entire planet, but it was only a thousand people.
But now, when nothing major happened, there were two or three thousand people according to a slight estimate. And it's constantly getting new people in and old people leaving. The streets are no longer long, but several, door to door, shadowy, I can't count how many. At the end of the street, closest to the gate of the Flood Wasteland, there were so many people that they were crowded.
"Quiet!"
"Huh? You are? ”
Zhang Xiaowu was in a relatively remote position in the street, and when he saw Liao Jing setting up a stall there, his complexion was not very good, and there were not many customers, which was very different from more than half a month ago.
Liao Jing didn't recognize him, but after he made a gesture, Liao Jing suddenly realized and looked at him in surprise.
"Brother Wu, what's going on? Where's your gear? Liao Jing looked at Zhang Xiaowu strangely and asked.
"It's nothing, but you, how did you go to such a remote place to do business? Why don't you go to those good locations? Also, why don't you rest at such a late hour? ”
"This ......"
Zhang Xiaowu's series of questions made Liao Jing not easy to answer, and he hesitated for a while before he said the cause and effect.
It turns out that more than half a month has passed since Zhang Xiaowu went to the Middle East, and it has been a long time for the Chosen One who is very fulfilling every day. For such a long time, the strength of many Heavenly Chosen has improved a lot. Of course, there are more people who have been selected by the lore system, and the number has continued to skyrocket, and in just half a month, it has increased by seven or eight times, reaching as many as seven or eight thousand. There are more people, the demand is large, and the business is getting easier and better, and of course, there will be more and more businessmen setting up stalls.
As the person with the best business on the street, Liao Jing can almost be described as making money every day. In ten days, assets have more than tripled.
But her business is good, so she naturally attracts jealousy, and there are more people looking for trouble. Especially five days ago, when the number of the Chosen One ushered in an explosive period again, a powerful merchant also appeared.
After this person arrived, he began to buy a large number of equipment at a high price, and then sold it at a low price, and the vicious competition that was almost unprofitable monopolized most of the acquisition channels in just two days.
Generally speaking, such vicious competition will inevitably attract the hostility of others. But when some merchants wanted to find trouble and find his theory, one after another merchants seemed to be frightened, and perhaps suffered a loss, not only did they not turn hostile to him, but they allied with him and began to squeeze other small traders.
Liao Jing, as the best stall owner on the street, has naturally been taken care of by them for a long time, there are threats and temptations, anyway, let her belong to their camp, or be suppressed by everyone.
Naturally, she would not agree that what those people said sounded good actually meant to squeeze and deceive, and finally to annex it. Besides, although she is running this stall, the actual owner is Zhang Xiaowu. When Zhang Xiaowu was no longer there, she was desperate to keep the store.
Then, the men began to threaten, preparing to find her in reality. Fortunately, she listened to Zhang Xiaowu's words very much, and she never revealed any information about herself in reality from the beginning, and she would not be found soon.
But she was also a little scared, after all, there were two stall owners who swore to die and hadn't appeared for a few days, and I was afraid that something happened in reality. So she began to keep a low profile and hid in the corner, even if the business was not good, it didn't matter, in order to wait for Zhang Xiaowu to appear.
But as soon as Zhang Xiaowu left, it was more than half a month, and there was no news at all, she couldn't see it in the big market, and she couldn't get through on the phone in reality, which made her worried.
"Brother Wu, this is the harvest of this time, if you take it away, I'm afraid this stall won't be able to do it. Besides, I'm also going to go to the Jedi Island Trials more often, and with Tang Zheng taking care of me, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Liao Jing opened the trading panel and traded the gold coins to Zhang Xiaowu, and the number on it was terrifying, it had reached seven figures.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at this number, stunned for a moment, and was shocked, how good this business is, how can there be so many gold coins. The previous liquidity was only 200,000, and the value of equipment items was only more than 400,000, but now it has more than tripled.
"Don't worry, what do you mean by Tang Zheng taking care of you?"
"Brother Wu, you don't know about this? Tang Zheng has also become the Chosen One, and it was a month ago. ”
"What? One month? He's not ......"
When Zhang Xiaowu heard this, he was indeed a little speechless. It's also that he doesn't care about his friends too much, and a month ago, he didn't leave, and he didn't know that his chosen twins had also become the chosen ones. But what he wondered was, didn't the twins all cooperate with them in the system? In order to ensure that the Chosen One is not discovered by the PUBG game system as a player. If he becomes the chosen one, who will cooperate with him? Is there another twin to work with him? Or simply a game account with yourself?
Liao Jing obviously didn't know much about the situation, but she just knew that the twins had already become the Chosen One, and even her twin Blood Dance had become the Chosen One yesterday, and of course there was another twin to cooperate with them. Anyway, it's just one drag, and it's constantly increasing.
"No wonder the number of the Chosen One is increasing so fast, it turns out to be multiplying."
"It's not just multiplied, it's multiplied."
Just as Zhang Xiaowu was muttering to himself, a voice reached his ears, and a slightly chubby, masked Chosen One approached.
"Tang Zheng?"
"Brother Wu?"
The person who came was Zhang Xiaowu's chosen twins, the anchor called Daguozi, Tang Zheng.
After the two chatted for a few words, Tang Zheng frowned and analyzed the situation he knew.
It turned out that in his understanding, not only the Chosen Twins had become the Chosen One, which doubled the total number of the Chosen One. There are also many people in the live broadcast room who have also become the Chosen One, and when the system selects the Chosen One, it seems that the policy has been relaxed, which has made the number of Chosen ones skyrocket several times.
Although I don't know what the system has in mind, Zhang Xiaowu feels that this is not a good thing through this information.
Not only him, Tang Zheng is a chosen twin after all, but also the most popular live broadcast room in the entire lore system, from the words of the barrage, and Liao Jing got information in the big market, he has already judged that something big will happen.
Because of this, he is also very hard-working, almost every day he will enter the Jedi Island trial to quickly improve his strength, and in the past two days, he has entered twice a day, allowing himself to enter the limit every day, and his strength is also advancing by leaps and bounds.
"Liao Jing, Tang Zheng, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. You need to improve your strength as soon as possible, and enter the desolate city as soon as possible. Remember, I am not alarmist, this is at stake for your life, and even for the fate of the entire human society. Only by entering the desolate city can we have a chance to survive and fight back. ”
Zhang Xiaowu frowned, looking through the bustling crowd at the huge door of light at the end of the street.
