Chapter 138: Rumors of Ping'an Lane
"Two S-class mutant scorpions, with a recovery price of 2,000 Aurora Coins."
The shopkeeper, who looked like a monkey spirit, stroked his goatee, pouted, shook his head, and evaluated the mutant scorpion in front of him.
Li Yiyi frowned, what?! These are two S-class mutant scorpions, not to mention selling them before, even if you see them, you may not be able to see them, why are they now S-level, just, are they so worthless?
What can you do with 2000 Aurora coins now, the old lady of the mahjong parlor next door has more than this, why is Aurora City so inflated now? S-class ones can't even look down on!
"Boss, the S-level ones are not worth much, so what level do they have to be valuable?"
It's a good habit to ask if you don't understand.
When the thin monkey boss saw the little girl's water spirit sign, he didn't embarrass her too much, but said with some obscenity on his face:
"Hey, little girl, look at you, you should be a newcomer, oops...... It's not that I said, if you want to make money, it's not profitable to just hunt S-class mutant creatures, I'm happy to be a boss today, so I'll give you a few words. ”
As he spoke, the thin monkey boss pretended to pick up the teapot and took a sip of tea into the spout.
"Do you have a team?"
Li Yiyi shook his head.
"Oh...... If you don't have a team, then I advise you, it's better not to hunt, and find a decent job in the city, which will make more money than if you work hard and risk hunting.
Those who are still hunting outside the city, which one is not an outlaw who has no tomorrow today, even the Aurora City is difficult to restrain them, when the time comes, you don't want to catch the prey, but it is planted in the hands of those outlaws first, and then it will really be better to live than to die~"
After that, the thin monkey boss didn't know what bad things he remembered, so he sat there alone drinking tea and shook his head and sighed.
Li Yiyi put the money bag into his backpack and put a low-grade spirit stone on the table without a trace, which was regarded as a good reward from the thin monkey boss.
It seems that this aurora city also has corners that can't be illuminated...... Forget it, don't care so much about him, since it's too dangerous outside the city, let's think about it in the city, just make money, and a fool will fight with his life.
Over the next few days, Li Yiyi became a shriveled old man and began to walk back and forth in the streets of the city, which were particularly profitable.
So half a month later, Li finally decided that she was going to open a weapons shop!
After all, in the last days, weapons have already become the second largest demand after firewood, rice, oil and salt, so there are countless weapons shops of all kinds in the city, and after years of research and development, whether it is the quality or type of weapons, it has long been incomparable to the old era.
But even so, there is only one weapon, but it is beginning to fade out of the sight of mankind, and is gradually becoming an obsolete product of the times, that is, thermal weapons.
Of course, it's not that thermal weapons are not easy to use, you see that the previous North 3rd District also developed nuclear weapons.
At the beginning of the establishment of Aurora City, many talented people were invited to jointly develop thermal weapons that could deal with new mutant creatures.
It is said that several high-powered thermal weapons were really developed at that time, and after testing, they can indeed inflict fatal blows on high-level monsters, but unfortunately, the mobility of new thermal weapons is too poor.
If you encounter a monster that is agile, or has the ability to be invisible and fly, it is almost like a chicken rib.
Since low-IQ monsters can dodge the attack of hot weapons, it is even more of a chicken rib for humans with higher intelligence, shoot a shot, hit, and the guy on the other side is wearing defensive armor, and the bullet hits it, not even a mark, and it is not as good as the traceable slingshot in the child's hand.
Later, researchers also developed a new type of positioning system, but they ignored that this era is no longer an era to measure everything with science and technology, and some things, even if you want to work hard to keep it, will eventually not be able to resist the torrent of the development of the times.
In this way, the project to develop a new type of thermal weapon was put on hold, and as people became more accustomed to more mobile cold weapons, thermal weapons gradually became museum exhibits.
"Hehe, thank you for your unpopularity, thank you for the price of a hot weapon that is not as valuable as a roast chicken."
So in the following days, Li began to make money desperately for her weapon shop, so outside the city, whether it was an S-level or a higher-level monster, as long as it was touched by Li who was short of money, the end would be death, and there was no room for even a return.
In this way, two months later, Li Yiyi finally saved enough money to buy a three-story building in an extremely deserted commercial street in the inner city at a very low price.
In the Aurora City, where every inch of land is valuable, there should not be such a deserted place, but thinking of the accident that happened here many years ago, I feel that it is reasonable.
This street was actually originally used as a place for the city of Aurora to concentrate on accepting ordinary people from outside, although these people did not have any possibility of becoming Aurora people even if they took the pill, but it could also play a role in strengthening the body, the body's resistance was enhanced, and the epidemic did not threaten these ordinary people, and then these ordinary people settled here, and later they also gave this place a name, called Ping'an Lane.
Until three years later, on a very ordinary night, the entire Ping'an Alley suddenly broke out in a fire, and the fire was also a strange one, even the strongest water system aurora mage in the city was dispatched, but it still could not be extinguished, fortunately, Ping'an Alley is located in the middle of nowhere, and because the alley is still very empty, this has not affected other places.
In the end, human beings really had nothing to do, so they could only watch powerlessly as the fire burned the entire Ping'an Alley to ashes, until there was nothing left to use as a combustion, and then it extinguished itself.
Because it was winter and the Spring Festival was approaching, almost everyone in Ping'an Lane was at home and preparing for the Spring Festival, but unfortunately a fire destroyed everything, even if people wanted to collect their bodies, they couldn't do it.
After another two years, a wealthy merchant took a fancy to this land and built it into a commercial street, which was very lively at first, although they knew what had happened here before, but so what, the hearts of those who can survive in the last days have long been cold.
But the good days of these people have only been half a year, and the merchants began to move out one after another, no, it should be said that they are fleeing, others asked them what was going on, but the merchants just turned white and didn't say anything, and the rich businessman, I heard that before the Spring Festival that year, died inexplicably at home.
Later, this street gradually became the most famous ghost street in the city, and even the most ruthless ruffian leaders in the city did not dare to take this opportunity to occupy it.
