Chapter 12: The Way of the Rat Catcher (Part II)

Glancing at the bright red bounty order, it was no different from the news that Gu Xuan knew.

However, Gu Xuan still pretended to hear about it for the first time, took the reward order and looked at it a few times, and then made a very interested appearance, and said to the proprietress: "Impossible, right?" Can you still exchange money for catching gold rats this year? ”

"Hey, young man, you're alone, I'll tell you. In our Nanjiang Mansion, the famous Rat Catcher King is a multimillionaire by catching and eating gold rats! I went to work for a small amount of money, and I was tired from work. How can there be an easy, free, and fast way to catch gold rats! Auntie saw that you had eyes, so she kindly recommended you to go. ”

Seeing that Gu Xuan showed a look of interest, the proprietress suddenly became more energetic, as if as long as she went to catch the golden rat, she could become the next rat catcher and the next multimillionaire in minutes.

"Really, I just came to Nanjiang Mansion, don't lie to me."

"You young man, what am I lying to you about, tricking you into catching gold rats, can I get a commission? It's really ~"

"Auntie, I see! This chest is used to store the tail of the gold-eating rat, right? Auntie, how much does this box cost? ”

"Young man, it's a pity not to catch the golden rat for your cleverness. Young man, you must know that although the government will not backtrack and not exchange it for the tail of the gold-eating rat. However, if the tail of the gold-eating rat you give them is not fresh enough, or it is too damaged, the government will also find an excuse to refuse it. ”

"So, this box has its own refrigeration and preservation function, which is specially made to preserve the tail of the gold-eating rat. After all, we have an eye, I won't make money from this box, so I'll give you the price of the capital, and I'll charge you 300 yuan. ”

", there is such a saying, if you want to catch a gold-eating rat to make money, you have to buy a fresh-keeping refrigerator for the gold-eating rat's tail first. Auntie, I can buy this box, but Auntie, you have to teach me some common sense of rat hunting, at least so that I can earn back the cost of this box. ”

"Of course, Auntie can still make you suffer? Auntie told you that if you want to catch a golden mouse, it's best to go ......."

"Young man, come on, auntie is optimistic about you!"

After saying a word, the aunt accepted the money paid by Gu Xuan and encouraged Gu Xuan without sincerity.

And Gu Xuan carried the rat tail fresh-keeping box he had just bought behind him, waved his hand and went to the Hongxia community, which was the most seriously infested with rats nearby.

300 yuan to buy a box, plus dozens of yuan of snacks, in exchange for the aunt's bamboo tube pouring beans-like information, this is undoubtedly very worthwhile for Gu Xuan.

As for the aunt, just by accompanying Gu Xuan to do some rat catching, she can sell the rat tail fresh-keeping box that can't be sold, which is also very worthwhile.

You must know that this rat hunting bounty order is nothing new, since the Nanjiang government issued the first one three years ago, it has been issued almost every year.

In the first year, the mouse-catching bounty did make some people rich.

However, there are only a few who really make a fortune by catching rats, and they can be counted with a slap.

On the contrary, it is related to the manufacture of items and prop manufacturers that make a lot of money in the first year.

For example, this crisper box specially used to preserve rat tails, in the first year, in the city of Nanjiang Prefecture, three out of ten people on the street carried them on their backs, looking for gold rats all over the street.

With the area where it was easy to catch gold-eating rats, they were looted over and over again, and the gold-eating rats were scared to appear behind those areas again.

This craze for rat hunting naturally began to recede slowly.

After all, in addition to professional rat catchers, it is very difficult for ordinary awakened people to get a part-time job or something by catching rats, almost all of them are thankless, and the result is half the effort.

has the energy to catch the golden rat, and it is better to do anything, and the reward of 1 rat tail for 1 yuan comes more money.

That is, a guy like Gu Xuan, who came to Nanjiang Mansion for the first time and knew about the rat hunting reward order for the first time, will continue to try to catch rats in exchange for a reward.

And just like the gold-eating rat swarm in the sewers, the rat catchers in Nanjiang Province are also divided into several organizations, which are divided into their own rat catching areas.

It's a bit like before the revival of the aura, the beggars will also divide their own begging areas, not only to avoid vicious competition with each other, but also to jointly resist the invasion of foreign beggars.

In short, the most suitable areas for gold-eating rats have actually been chartered by those organizations, and a rookie like Gu Xuan can't go to those places to catch rats at all.

can only be like the Hongxia community that Gu Xuan is going to at the moment, picking up some corner areas, those organizations can't look down on, or the difficulty is too high and the cost performance is not high to catch mice.

"Red Summer Community"

After walking for about ten minutes, Gu Xuan came to the Hongxia community recommended to him by his aunt.

The old gate, the old security booth, the security guard who looks at least sixty years old...... Old buildings, rusty security nets, staircase handrails......

And this Hongxia community, as the aunt said, is old and dilapidated, and the sanitary state is also very poor, even if it has not yet entered the community.

Gu Xuan also saw at a glance that several garbage cans in the community were full of a large pile of domestic garbage.

That large pile of numbers and heights hasn't been cleaned for at least a few days.

With the hot autumn weather in October, if you don't clean it up for a few days, it's no wonder that there is always an indescribable strange smell in this red summer community.

However, Gu Xuan didn't come here for a vacation, and he didn't take this smell or anything to heart.

Passing directly by the security booth, the janitor didn't even glance at Gu Xuan, and Gu Xuan entered the Hongxia community.

After scanning the Hongxia community a few times, Gu Xuan went straight to the small flower bed in the center of the community.

This small flower bed is one of the cleaner areas in the public area of the community, and the ditch of this small flower bed is also connected to the sewer system.

After Gu Xuan put the box away, he controlled the swarm of 20,000 Gold Devouring Gu larvae and rushed into the sewer connected by the small flower bed ditch against the ground.

Just when the gold-devouring Gu larval swarm had just rushed into the sewer pipes, it was also rushing towards 1 large, 5 small, and 6 gold-eating rats.

Chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp squeak... Squeak Squeak......

After these 6 gold-eating rats collided with the gold-devouring Gu larvae, they didn't even see clearly what these tiny little black dots in front of them were, so they all screamed and rolled over.

After a scream of less than 2 seconds, the gold-devouring Gu larvae swarm devoured the 6 gold-eating rats.

"Devour the Golden Rat x6, increase the Worm Body Proficiency to 24%"

………………

"Devour the Gold-Eating Rat x31, increase Worm Proficiency to 26%"

………………

"Devour the Golden Rat x36, increase Worm Proficiency to 28%"

………………

"Devouring the Tier 1 Gold-Eating Rat, the Worm has evolved a new ability: a primary exoskeleton."

As soon as they came, the swarm of gold-devouring Gu larvae that got off to a good start soon began to disperse into the cobweb-like sewers under the community.

And the aunt of the small supermarket did not deceive Gu Xuan, the sewer system here is extremely narrow and complicated, and the number of gold-eating rats is also unexpectedly large for Gu Xuan.

However, in just 5 minutes, Gu Xuan's gold-devouring Gu larval swarm actually swept away more than a hundred gold-eating rats, and also caught a first-order gold-eating rat with a metalized whole body.
