Chapter 9: The Newcomer
The morning sun shines from the east, and through the dense trees, it is refracted into pillars of light of different lengths, and there is an inexplicable sense of mystery. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The dew dripped on Zhang Xing's face, and he had a clear sense of taste, and at this time he and Wang Biao were dissecting the White Bear Lord. The pungent fishy smell couldn't stop the excited expressions of the two, and the White Bear Lord was now only a skeleton left.
After packing up the skeleton, Zhang Xing and Wang Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief, the continuous physical exertion made the two of them feel tired at this time, and their stomachs were already hungry, so Zhang Xing decided to have a roast white bear meat to eat.
While Wang Biao was lighting a fire, Zhang Xingcai had time to take a look at the fish pattern knife attribute that he had stolen from the White Bear Lord.
"Boom!" I don't know if I don't look at it, I was startled when I saw it, at this time, Zhang Xing finally knew why the white bear lord's violent state suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, he was afraid for a while!
Fish Blade (Silver): Lasts 120 Attack Damage: 5-30 Hit targets have a 20% chance to weaken the target, and reduce Attack Speed and Attack Power by 20%. Comes with skill, Roar, increases attack by %20 after use, duration, five minutes, cooldown, one hour.
"Wow! Big brother, silver level! Your weapon is undoubtedly an artifact at this stage, and it won't be sold for any amount of money! Hearing Zhang Xing's exclamation, Wang Biao immediately came over, and he was extremely fanatical about equipment or something. Looking at the attributes, his voice was more exaggerated than Zhang Xing's, and his saliva was about to flow down.
At the same time, Zhang Xing was extremely happy, fortunately he stole this weapon in time. There is no weakness attribute, and the designated group is extinguished.
Eating bear meat, Zhang Xing feels similar to gnawing on pig's trotters, mainly because there are no condiments, and it tastes like chewing wax, and naturally there is no taste at all.
Outside the novice village, Zhang Xing put a layer of mud on his face, and swaggered into the village with Wang Biao along the way. For Zhang Xing's actions, Wang Biao felt a little inexplicable, he had been alone before, and he was trying to figure out how to upgrade, but he only knew that there was an alchemist in the novice village, but he had not seen who it was.
"Huh! How do you feel that the number of people in the novice village has suddenly increased? Looking at the dense crowd and many fresh faces, Zhang Xing asked puzzled.
"That's natural, and there are three main reasons." Wang Biao said without thinking about it.
"Oh, which three?" Zhang Xing came interested. The increase in the number of people means that his potions can sell more, which are all potential customers for him.
"First, because virtual helmets have been in short supply, there are still many people in China waiting to enter the game. Second... It's because of Document No. 9. But! The most important thing is the third reason...... "Speaking of this, Wang Biao deliberately stopped.
"Gross... The best part? Zhang Xing couldn't think of any reason other than the above two reasons, which were more important than the above two.
Seeing that it really whetted Zhang Xing's appetite, Wang Biao said with a smile: "The most important thing is the unemployed." ā
"Unemployed? Fuck, can you make it clear all at once. Zhang Xing gave him a blank look and scolded fiercely.
"Ahem" Wang Biao coughed dryly twice, his appetite was too much, and he immediately said with a smile: "Because of the war and the financial turmoil that the United States has swept the world, many countries have gone bankrupt. For example, although Huaxia has survived for the time being, the domestic unemployment rate remains high, and the entire country's economy is sluggish. ā
"According to statistics, more than 1 in 10 people in Huaxia have no fixed income, and those people can't even afford to eat! The connection caused riots several times, but they were all bloodily suppressed. Later, after the country introduced the stars, it was said that they could find money and get jobs in it, how could they not go crazy. This time, Wang Biao finished speaking in one breath.
Zhang Xing nodded, he was well aware of the power of the economic crisis, if it weren't for the fact that his two uncles were all soldiers, and his parents were building railways abroad all the year round, he might not be able to afford to go to college.
Thinking of his parents, Zhang Xing remembered that his parents seemed to have had an accident, and he didn't have time to handle the funeral, and his heart ached.
He almost fell, but fortunately he was held up by Wang Biao in time.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Is it tired of staying up late. Wang Biao asked worriedly.
Zhang Xing shook his head, looking fine on the surface, but his heart was full of gloom.
Was it all an accident, or was it a haze? That's what Zhang Xing is thinking about now. It was a coincidence that there was an accident with my parents, and then I was myself.
"Could it be you?" Zhang Xing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he vaguely remembered that he once said to himself: "You lowly race, every time I see you, it reminds me of the past between you and Liu Yueqin, and I can't help but want to kill you, remember!" Stay away from her, stay away from me, or I'll kill you and your whole family like playing. ā
Looking at Zhang Xing's gloomy appearance, Wang Biao subconsciously shrunk his neck, not knowing where to provoke him, and he didn't dare to speak.
All the way to the square, there are more people here, almost full of people, and the noise is one after another.
The noise woke up the pensive Zhang Xing, and he took a deep breath, since it can't be solved now, and it can't be investigated, and it won't help if he thinks about it again. He could only forcibly suppress the haze in his heart.
"Why is it so noisy!" Seeing a group of people in the distance, desperately pulling their necks and shouting, Zhang Xing couldn't help but wonder.
Haven't we seen each other for a while, and everyone has learned life skills? All run the square to buy materials. What the hell is this? He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"I..., I am strong, I want to join the team, I only receive twenty copper coins a day, and I have forty copper coins out of the novice village......"
"I..., beg the boss to take me in, I'm not afraid of death, I can do anything......"
"I ......"
"What's going on!" Zhang Xing was shocked when he heard their shouts, and he also sold his own.
Compared with Zhang Xing, who doesn't like to read the forum, Wang Biao is different, as a senior hardcore player, he knows the important role of intelligence, so he likes to go to the forum when he has nothing to do and pay attention to some related information. Listening to Zhang Xing's words, he said calmly: "These are those unemployed people, they can't afford to eat now, if someone can accept them, of course they will work hard." ā
"Some people have a large group of families to support, and they have no choice, but fortunately, the virtual helmet sales point set up by the government can be paid in installments, and you can get the helmet with zero down payment, otherwise how would they get in." Speaking of this, Wang Biao was also a little embarrassed.
"Zero down payment! It seems that the government is also afraid of their riots and gives them a glimmer of hope. Zhang Xing was startled at first, but then said suddenly.
Wang Biao nodded and continued: "But after all, there are too many people, and it is impossible for those consortiums and enterprises to take in so many people, and in the end, they will only take in a small part. Moreover, most of the conglomerates take in men, and almost no one wants women except for those who are good-looking. ā
Zhang Xing looked at the hoarse shouts of those people in the distance, in order to express himself, rows of thirty or forty-year-old uncles took off their clothes and compared their muscles with each other, even if they were a little bigger than the people next to them, they couldn't help shouting excitedly.
But Zhang Xing can see that they have been malnourished for a long time, and judging from their skinny bodies, there is a trace of strength there.
Their faces full of despair were full of exhaustion, and they kept recommending themselves to others, and their numb eyes longed for someone to save them.
"Let's take a look." Zhang Xing was already a little moved, although he had encountered too many realistic things in the face of society before, and even thought that he had become numb for a while, but when he saw these people in their thirties and forties who practiced themselves for life, it made him think of his parents. They didn't give everything for themselves, fortunately they still had a place to give up for him, but these people could only wait for the verdict of fate. Especially the women at the back of the crowd.
As if seeing Zhang Xing's thoughts, Wang Biao immediately asked, "Big brother, how many people do you plan to accept." ā
Zhang Xing thought about it, sighed, and said in an astonishing voice: "Take it all!" ā
Wang Biao was shocked, with his two abilities, even if he fought monsters very quickly, but to support so many people, not all of them were consumed in their wages, so he immediately persuaded: "Big brother, now we have quickly upgraded to the novice village, there are many poor people in this world, and the government is powerless, and we can't manage it." Let's face it, big brother, sympathy will ruin you! ā
Zhang Xing glanced at him and teased: "What you said is good, hey!" I shouldn't have sympathized with you and taken you in the first place? ā
"I ......" Wang Biao's face turned red when he was blocked by a sentence, but in order to rise, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Big brother, you have to think about your own ability, how much ability you have to pick up how much burden, these hundreds of people are not counting the next few days, can you take care of them?" Even if you can take care of it, don't you have to develop yourself? So what should I do when I get out of the novice village......"
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Zhang Xing interrupted Wang Biao's chatter and said in a tough tone, so that Wang Biao had to be silent and lamented.
"Boss, take me, take me...... My three children haven't eaten for three days, please save them. ā
"Boss, I can do anything, please take me......"
Zhang Xing just walked over, although this person's face was full of mud, so that everyone couldn't see his appearance clearly, but seeing that he was dressed well, a large number of people immediately surrounded him.
Zhang Xing didn't rush to make a statement, but walked around the crowd, everyone had seen it, on the surface, they were basically honest people, most of them were in their thirties and forties, and a small number of them were young people in their twenties, of course! There are also as young as fourteen or fifteen years old, and Zhang Xing, who is fifty or sixty years older, has also seen a few.
However, if you still come out to fight at such an old age, then you must have a reason as a last resort, Zhang Xing didn't think about refusing them.
Then Zhang Xing came to the women's side, and when they saw someone patronizing them, they suddenly came to their senses, shouting that they could do anything to fight monsters and kill people. There were even women who stuck on him, touching him for a while, making him red-faced.
At this moment, Zhang Xing noticed that there were two women who were slightly different from the others.
