Chapter 276: Old Fang
After losing his mind for a moment, at the urging of the middle-aged stall owner, Lin Cheng came back to his senses, and after glancing at the giant salmon behind him, he suddenly said: "I can buy the whole fish of yours, but before that, you have to answer me two questions first......
"If my brother has any questions, just ask, as long as my boss knows, he will definitely tell you!"
Seeing that Lin Cheng suddenly decided to buy his salmon, which was almost smashed into his hand, Lao Fang's face suddenly burst into ecstasy, and he hurriedly said.
Seeing the impatient look on Lao Fang's face, Lin Cheng nodded, "First, is there a place near here that can be discounted?" Second, where is the registration office for the First Fleet? ”
Hearing this, Lao Fang couldn't help but be a little stunned, and after reacting, he asked with a strange expression: "This...... Brother, could it be that you just arrived at the Blue Ocean Base? ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Lao Fang instantly guessed that he was a newcomer, Lin Cheng was not surprised, the two questions he asked were obviously only asked by Xiaobai, although Lao Fang was just a fish seller, but as soon as he looked at him, he knew that this guy was definitely an old fritter in the base.
"Nothing ......"
Looking at Lin Cheng with a calm face, the old man smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and said, "But since you are a newcomer, you shouldn't have many blue ocean tickets in your hand, right?" There is indeed an exchange office nearby, but if you don't have anything valuable, I'm afraid you won't be able to exchange a few blue ocean tickets at all......"
"Really?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng chuckled, took out a whole box of Tianye cigarettes from his pocket and shook it in front of the old man's face, "What about this?" ”
Looking at Tianye dangling in front of him, the old man's eyes suddenly straightened, seeing this, Lin Cheng didn't bother to tease him anymore, and directly threw this pack of very expensive cigarettes into his hand, and asked: "I don't have anything else, there are a lot of this thing, although the blue ocean base is very rich, I'm afraid this thing is also in short supply, right?" ”
"That's a must!"
Clutching the Tianye cigarette in his hand tightly, Lao Fang resisted the urge to immediately open it and smoke it, and said excitedly: "Brother, you are going to send it!" There may be no shortage of other things in the blue ocean base, but cigarettes are often out of stock, and even when they are available, they are not what ordinary people like us are qualified to enjoy! If you have two cigarettes of this grade on your body and trade them on the black market, it is estimated that you can exchange at least 40,000 or 50,000 blue ocean tickets! ”
"Damn! Really? ”
Hearing Lao Fang say that this thing was so valuable in the Blue Ocean Base, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel very surprised, "Also, what's going on with the black market?" ”
"Uh......"
Seeing Lin Cheng's curious look, the old man, who knew that he was speechless, quickly closed his mouth, and after being silent for a moment, he suddenly said: "The exchange office is at the southwest corner of the second intersection on the left in front, if you want to buy my fish, it is almost enough to exchange one or two packs of cigarettes for it......"
Seeing that Lao Fang forcibly diverted the topic, Lin Cheng didn't intend to let him go at all, "It's all said and done, brother, isn't it a bit unauthentic for you to suddenly play this with me?" So be it......"
As he spoke, Lin Cheng took out two packs of Tianye from his pocket and threw them to Lao Fang, saying, "That bag just now is the money to buy your salmon, what about these two packs...... Even if it's buying the information in your mouth! Don't worry, I'm a very strict person, and I'm a newcomer, I can't afford to provoke you old fritters from the base......"
Seeing that Lin Cheng took out two packs of cigarettes without blinking, the old man was also a little stunned by this 'trench' young man for a while, and after holding the two packs of cigarettes in his hand tightly and quickly calculating the gains and losses in his mind, he finally made up his mind!
"Wait for me!"
After standing up quickly, the old man quickly spread his small fish to the tricycle on the side, and then with the help of Lin Cheng, he also lifted the fish tank containing salmon, and then beckoned to Lin Cheng, "Little brother, come with me!" ”
As he spoke, he pedaled the tricycle through the crowd.
After following Lao Fang's tricycle, the two of them squeezed in this crowded commercial street for a while, and finally arrived at a shantytown not far from the Blue Ocean Base, and after walking through the muddy and difficult paths of the shantytown for a few minutes, they finally stopped in front of a small dilapidated bungalow.
"Come in, little brother!"
After jumping off the tricycle, the old man first parked the tricycle with the goods in a simple 'garage' next to the bungalow, locked the door and waved to Lin Cheng, and then took the lead in opening the door of the bungalow and walked in.
"Let's quench our thirst with a glass of water."
After Lin Cheng entered the house, the old man poured a cup of hot water very enthusiastically and handed it to Lin Cheng and said.
took the hot water casually, but Lin Cheng didn't drink it, but looked up and looked around the room.
Although it looks a little shabby on the outside, the interior of this small bungalow is actually quite cozy, although the furniture looks obviously second-hand, but it is all cleaned up, except for a slight peeling of paint, it does not look much different from new.
After observing for a while, Lin Cheng took a sip of hot water and asked, "Where is this?" ”
Hearing this, Lao Fang tore open a pack of cigarettes that had not had time to be warmed, and after giving one to Lin Cheng, he explained: "There are a total of eight residential areas and two slums in the Blue Ocean Base, and this is the No. 7 residential area. ”
"Residential area?"
Hearing Lao Fang's explanation, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I thought it was a slum......
"Haha!"
Seeing the surprise on Lin Cheng's face, Lao Fang suddenly laughed a few times, "It's very unexpected, right?" In fact, you only have to go to the real slums to see it, compared to the kind of places where there are not even a few houses, this is already a paradise! ”
"Okay......"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng shook his head a little speechlessly, "Forget it, let's not mention this for now, let's hurry up and talk about the situation in the black market!" ”
Hearing Lin Cheng ask about the situation of the black market again, the smile on the old man's face gradually fell, "Regarding the situation of the black market, if I hadn't seen cigarettes for a long time and was a little excited, in fact, I was not qualified to take the initiative to reveal it......"
"There was no black market in the Blue Ocean Base before, because there was no need for this kind of place to exist before, and all items could be traded through the official, which was convenient and safe for buyers and sellers, and if it was not necessary, basically no one would trade privately! But two months ago, the appearance of a mysterious object suddenly upset the balance......"
"Mystery items?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's heart suddenly moved, "It sounds like it is very powerful, what is it?" ”
Hearing this, Lao Fang's face suddenly showed a burst of fanatical desire, "That is a drug that can quickly improve the evolution of the ability, I heard from others, the official name of this drug is 'Strengthening Liquid'!" ”
