What is the nature of famine?

Qiu Xuan had been thinking about this question before, and the moment she left, a fly crashed into the inside of the clearance portal that had disappeared from the last second. The fly flew straight in the direction, and the next second it was about to collide, it suddenly turned into a silver coin with a little dirt.

A penny buys a liqu of wheat, and a penny buys three litacs of barley.

It turns out that the answer was foreshadowed long in the beginning.

Famine occurs if people deprive others of their wealth by changing the relationship between value and price.

Qiu Xuan held the silver in her palm and sealed it in the inner layer of the space, and it was not until she stood again at one of the random teleportation points, the main entrance of the desperate situation, that she was in a trance and withdrew her consciousness from the previous scene.

Pressing down on the mouth of her faintly aching heart, she stood still and paused for a few seconds, then she heard a timid voice next to her speak.

"That...... You, hello. ”

Retracting all his worries in an instant, Qiu Xuan turned his head and saw a young man squatting on the ground scratching his head. Seeing that he was looking over, he quickly stood up and patted the ashes on his body, and spoke in a somewhat cautious tone.

"Hello, I'm Ed, I'm just from a ...... A particularly bad place to come out. After coming out, I somehow walked through a glowing arch and came here, and I had no idea what was going on. What about you? Did you also escape from an abandoned school? ”

Newcomer.

Qiu Xuan knew it at a glance. Every newcomer who has just passed the first trial and has come to a desperate situation has only one main entrance, and she happened to come here randomly this time, so she was naturally able to meet the newcomer.

Qiu Xuan doesn't really want to be the sustenance of other people's fledgling plots, not to mention that her situation is not suitable to be a good leader. So she shook her head rather coldly, only kindly reminded, "You'll know when you cross that entrance." ”

Then he didn't look at it again, and strode into a desperate situation.

The young man was obviously very hesitant, but after observing from behind him for a long time, Qiuxuan walked into the entrance unharmed, as if there would be no problems. Thinking that it was not possible to sit down like this and wait any longer, she simply gritted her teeth and walked into the entrance with her footsteps.

The next second he stepped into his mouth on tiptoe, there was a tinkle in his head, and a very simple control panel that only he could see appeared in his mind.

"Welcome! Lucky players, by the time you reach the end of your journey through the first world, you'll already be able to become a qualified executioner! Please continue to ......"

The young man named Ed suddenly froze in place with wide eyes, and after Qiu Xuan took a few steps, he seemed to feel something and looked back, and found that he was stupidly trying to use his hands to catch something out of thin air.

This is an attempt to open up a personal basic accompanying space.

Everyone will go through that step when they first arrive in a desperate situation, which can be regarded as a reward for receiving a beginner level. At the same time, I also got the old ones, basic passcoins, basic daggers, pistols and other things.

Qiu Xuan glanced at it a few times and then turned around and continued walking, but she didn't expect that in the next second, two strange executioners strode straight in this direction.

At first, she thought that she was here to fool the newcomer, Edgar's Guild, but as soon as the idea came to her, one of the two executioners walked straight towards her.

Qiu Xuan suddenly became vigilant, she took a special look at the bounty list before coming in, and found that Xi Hanting had promised herself in the trial ground that she had really not broken her promise. Although I don't know how she did it, but now in the column where the Baoqin Guild is wanted for bounties, her name seems to have been removed.

So why did this person come to himself?

In just a few breaths, she had gone through the names of the enemies she had provoked in a desperate situation or directly or indirectly. At the moment when he was fully prepared in his heart and the knife was about to be unsheathed, Qiu Xuan heard the strange executioner say:

"Welcome to the Desperate Family!"

Qiu Xuan: "? ”

Not only was her bewilderment written on her face, but Ed, who had just checked all the basic equipment for the newcomers on the other end, was also stunned. The executioner standing in front of Ed didn't look so amiable, and hugged his arms and said coldly, "Newcomer, follow me." And he looked in their direction.

"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid!" The executioner in front of Qiu Xuan smiled with a mouthful of teeth, "I know that you must have a lot of questions in your heart now when you first came to the desperate family, but it doesn't matter, we have a lot of time, and we can slowly answer them for you!" ”

Qiu Xuan: What are you talking about?

She was speechless for a moment, and she understood what was going on. Maybe it's because she and Ed came in on the front and back feet, and the two of them obviously think of her as a newcomer.

Qiu Xuan: "You misunderstood, I'm not ......"

"You're not nervous, you're not afraid! I get it! Executioner A immediately nodded in understanding, and with an inexplicable look of relief, "It turns out that you are a strong girl, I misunderstood you before!" ”

Qiu Xuan: It's so earthy, please shut up.

"Friend, I don't know what you're up to, but I'm not new, I ......"

"Beep, a newcomer pass friendly coupon has been detected, beep!" Executioner A tilted his head and deliberately imitated the voice of the electronic machine, and laughed to himself after a while, "Okay, little sister, it's okay, we are just taking the money and being responsible for the newcomer's guide, you don't have to be so vigilant." What's more, you have a newcomer friendly pass on you, and no one can touch you in the short term. ”

It took Qiu Xuan almost half a minute to realize what the hell that "newcomer friendly pass" was. That thing did have one on his body, and it was also distributed with the newbie gift package when he first entered a desperate situation, but after studying it a few times and not getting the essentials, it was thrown into the pile of debris specially packed in the accompanying space.

Does that thing work?

Qiu Xuan originally wanted to turn around and leave, but now that she is in a desperate situation, she only needs a messenger to rush over and help her beat people. And just after she took a few steps reflexively, she felt an inexplicable restriction pressing on her body and couldn't move.

"I've bound your Newcomer Pass, and I'll be your guide for the next twenty-four hours. Don't worry, once the Friendship Ticket is active, you won't be exposed to life-threatening damage for 24 hours unless you take the initiative. ”

Qiu Xuan turned around expressionlessly, "How much time did you say?" ”

Executioner A bared his teeth at her again, "Twenty-four hours! ”

Qiu Xuan raised her hand and pinched herself for a few seconds.

"Alright, the time is almost up, twenty-four hours from now on." Executioner B, who had been standing beside Ed who was still dazed, finally spoke, and then A also nodded quickly, and pulled Qiu Xuan back and wanted to move forward.

Qiu Xuan avoided it silently, she tried a few more times secretly, and then found that a line in her consciousness space was marked with the words "Newcomer Friendly Pass Period" printed there, obviously indicating that the pass had begun to take effect.

"By the way, sister, you can call me Mr. A." The curly-haired executioner walked in front and suddenly turned around, and then the other executioner in charge of Ed also symbolically said, "I'm B." ”

This pseudonym level is probably comparable to that of redheads.

Thinking of the red hair, Qiu Xuan's mind suddenly flickered, and she quickly adjusted it again, and followed one step at a time.

She figured it out, and the peer A just said that they were responsible for being the leader of the newcomer with the money, and the standard for the "newcomer" should be to see if there is a newcomer friendly pass on the body.

When Qiu Xuan first arrived in a desperate situation, no one came over to try to test the pass on her body, one reason was that no one knew that her novice reward was reclaimed after passing through two worlds, and another reason was that Xi Hanting was with her at that time.

There was already such a high-ranking executioner by her side at that time, so naturally no one would come over to bring new people.

And this time, it can be said that at the same time as detecting the real newcomer Ed, he also put himself in.

Silently sighed in his heart, Qiu Xuan caught a glimpse of the newcomer named Ed looking at him with a slightly condemning look.

"You lied to me before that you weren't a newcomer!"

It seemed that he was finally afraid of the two executioners who walked in front, and the young man lowered his voice and whispered to Qiu Xuan, "I told you everything, but you have been lying to me!" ”

Qiu Xuan: "Oh, I'm sorry. ”

The young man's words were choked back into his throat, and he opened his mouth, and finally turned back with a snort.

"Friends, look to your left-hand position." Executioner A walked in front and suddenly opened his voice, and Ed suddenly reflexively swooped to the left, "We have come to the scope of the free trade line, look at these energetic toilers, it is really difficult to sigh, productivity is the ultimate determining force of social development!" ”

Ed's eyes lit up suddenly, not because of A's words that he had taken a perfect score, but because he saw a machine gun on display behind the counter of the free trading house.

"That's handsome, too!"

Ed stared intently at the location of the weapons display case, "There are so many of them that I've never seen before!" Can I own one of them too? ”

"As long as you have the money." Executioner B crossed his arms and said coldly, pausing when he caught a glimpse of him, and his tone slowed down a bit. "You should have received the novice equipment by now, don't worry, usually after adding the guild, there will be veterans in the second proving ground to take you, so the basic weapons are enough in most cases. But if you want to have a weapon of your own, you can come here and ask us to borrow more than 200 passes. ”

Ed wiped his saliva, "Thank you, big brother!" ”

"I didn't say I would lend you money." Executioner B glared at him, "It's enough for the newcomer to use a basic pistol, what more bike do you want?" ”

Ed:......?

Not to mention a basic pistol, even Ed, who had just received the newbie package, was richer than Qiu Xuan among the people present now. She glanced in the direction of the free trade house a few times from afar, and sighed silently, "Let's go, I don't plan to buy weapons for the time being." ”

"You're sane!" Executioner A took the opportunity to praise people again, "It's very good for a newcomer to have such a mentality, I have a hunch that you will have great achievements in the future!" ”

Just lick hard.

Qiu Xuan smirked back. Under Ed's reluctant gaze, the group returned to the road.

This time, they didn't go too far from the range of the free trader, but walked a few steps later into a giant open hood. Executioner A exchanged a few words with one of the executioners, and then the man took a small cable car directly from the inside.

"The deposit will be paid back in 24 hours."

"Thank you."

A first went up and drove the car out first. It is said that the cable car actually operates in a way that is more equivalent to a concentrated maglev, its low end is about ten centimeters above the ground, and it is driven out steadily, as if it is flying close to the ground.

"Get in the car!" Executioner A beckoned to them, "You can't keep up now, with your speed, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to get out of a desert area for twenty-four hours, so we will use this as a substitute." ”

Qiu Xuan accepted it better than the real and only newcomer in the crowd, Ed, at the moment, and since it had been confirmed that he couldn't do anything, he had to accept it. So after experiencing strong winds and waves and becoming a member of the old dogs, she silently got on this suspected newcomer sightseeing car without psychological pressure, and her mentality was very stable.

Ed was still hesitating, after all, his first world would be extremely dangerous to listen to his previous description. It's strange to just come out of that environment and be unalert in a completely unfamiliar environment.

"Stupid."

Executioner B impatiently knocked on the window of the sightseeing car, oh no, the electromagnetic cable car, and hesitated for a few seconds when he saw that Ed was still there, and immediately lowered the window with a cold face.

"Don't take him anymore, let's go."

"Calm down, brother," A tried to persuade him. "You just tied up with someone, and now you regret it, but you can't get a penny."

"Are you embarrassed?" B's face suddenly changed and he glared angrily, "If it weren't for your grandson's hand being quick to grab me, I would be so angry now?!" ”

"Please, it's just my luck."

"! Who wants to stare at a stinky boy twenty-four hours a day, you do it on purpose, dog thief! Hurry up and change with me! ”

The two began to quarrel and push in the front seat, Qiu Xuan took out his communicator from the space, pressed a few buttons and entered the message interface, and smiled bitterly, "I'm back, but now I have something to delay for a while, and I'll go back in a day." ”

As he spoke, he put away the communicator, looked at the three troubles with different expressions, turned around and rested his head on the transparent sightseeing glass and stopped talking.
