Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei followed the shadows cast by the buildings on the street, and carefully reached the range of 500 meters.

When they saw the text on the ground that said "From this line is a safe area, please be conscious" and a dotted line drawn with red paint, both of them felt a sense of relief. The person who drew this dividing line was very responsible, and even painted dotted lines on the walls of the buildings on the roadside, dividing many buildings in two.

Although on the top floor of the office building, the two of them had been observing for a whole morning, but when the first player passed by them, their muscles tensed up. The player only kept his gaze on Bai Siyi's body for a second, then lowered his head without interest, and continued to fiddle with his hand as he walked. When the player reached the demarcation line, he immediately found a building that had been split in half by the dotted line, got into it and disappeared

Bai Siyi's gaze followed behind the player until the man disappeared. Then she frowned and thought about it, thinking that even if she could successfully buy the ingredients, how to take the ingredients away safely was a difficult problem, and she didn't know how the previous buyers did it.

Bai Si tilted his head and looked around at the buildings in the safe zone, and the traces of human activity were even more obvious when he got closer.

Some buildings have half-dried clothes hanging outside the windows, some buildings will hear the sound of music, and some buildings have slogans written with various colors of spray paint.

Bai Siyi looked up at the advertisement written on the white floor.

"Safe Zone Apartment, different room types, reasonable price, contact Room 101, No. 32."

It all seems like this safe zone is a small town separate from the dungeon. It seems that the significance of this vegetable market for this dungeon is definitely not just a place for players to circulate ingredients.

So, how does this safe zone keep players safe?

Bai Si looked around, thinking that she would find groups of heavily armed soldiers and the like, patrolling back and forth to maintain order. However, she looked through the streets for a long time, until she reached the foot of the red building, and found no resemblance to the vigilantes.

It was only when they walked under the red irregular building that the two of them felt the grandeur of the building. The building was at least thirty or forty stories tall and covered a very large area, and the entrance to which the two men came was only one of the many entrances to the building marked with English letters.

This vegetable market is really lofty. Bai Siyi's eyes swept over the floor plan of the venue at the entrance of the building, and found a few words blacked out on the instruction map, and two words in it vaguely showed the shape of "World Expo".

The entrance to the building, marked "D", was wide enough for a dozen people to pass through, but now, most of the entrance is blocked by railings, leaving only a gap for two people to pass through at the same time.

Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei followed the waiting passage planned by the rope and came to the entrance. Behind the barricaded gap in the entrance, which was now only accessible to two people, lay a dilapidated wooden table with an open notebook and a ballpoint pen, and a man with a towel covering his face sat on a chair behind the table.

Bai Siyi felt that this person's sitting posture was a match for Ji Aimu.

The man was lying limply on the back of his chair, his arms swaying and hanging at his sides, his belly round and bulging, and his breathing almost bursting the buttons of his shirt. The man wears an armband on his left arm, which has a circular pattern of red and blue halves.

Hearing the footsteps of the two, the man didn't even take off the towel on his face, so he sat on the chair and said angrily: "Sign the notebook, and then go in by yourself, you know the rules, right?" ”

Bai Siyi glanced at the notebook spread out on the table, the notebook had been left here for an unknown amount of time, and even the pages were wrinkled. There are only a few lines of text written on it. Bai Si glanced at it, and only saw four words, "Watermelon is too poor", which may be a name, and the others are meaningless garbled characters.

Bai Siyi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have to write a name?" I don't think anyone else has written their names, huh? ”

"Then you can write whatever you want." The man in the chair replied impatiently, "The people nowadays, all of them are monkey spirits. ”

Bai Si thought about it, picked up the ballpoint pen on the table, wrote the five numbers "12345" in the blank space on the notebook, and handed the ballpoint pen to Lin Feifei on the side. Lin Feifei looked at the words left by Bai Siyi in the notebook, smiled very mischievously, and the little tiger teeth at the corners of his mouth were exposed.

"I'm a Little Tiger"

After Lin Feifei finished writing these words, he threw the ballpoint pen back on the table.

The random names written by the two of them did not elicit any reaction at all from the person in the chair, who was still lying on his back in the chair with a towel over his face. It's like an old man who is cool in the shade of a tree in the afternoon, so comfortable and lazy that he doesn't want to pay attention to anyone at all.

When the two of them walked past this person, Bai Siyi stopped, hesitated, and asked, "What if...... I'm just using an analogy, what if I kill someone in a safe zone, or rob a vegetable market? ”

The man in the chair listened to the question, seemed to come to his senses, stretched out a large, fleshy hand, and took the towel off his face. "Newbie? It's not easy to find the vegetable market alive. While he was talking, a flat meatloaf face with no hair and eyebrows appeared in front of Bai Siyi.

Before Bai Siyi could express his opinion on this very characteristic face, this person had already seen Bai Siyi clearly, and was suddenly startled by such an impactful shape, and even the chair under him let out a "crunch" moan.

The man without a trace of hair on his face coughed to hide his gaffe just now, and then answered Bai Siyi's question seriously, "There is no mandatory punishment, we are not those official guys, we can put people in prison, that is, several large player organizations refuse to provide services to unruly people, and there is a chance to hunt down and kill them by the way." The man grinned, his eyes turned on Bai Siyi's body again, and he encouraged Bai Siyi to try it, "You can still play this game as a stand-alone machine in the future." ”

The man tapped on the notebook on the table, "Even if we don't know the name, we have a hundred ways to find the person we are looking for." ”

Bai Siyi suddenly remembered Xiao Yui, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead—the war correspondent who could report information about his abilities just by looking at the abilities used by others—and knew that they were indeed capable of doing this.

Bai Siyi glanced at the hairless man deeply, said thank you, didn't ask any more, and pulled Lin Feifei towards the inside of the venue.

When he really saw the vegetable market, Bai Siyi said that he was not disappointed. The building looks magnificent from the outside and covers a large area, but the actual wet market area only occupies less than a tenth of the area in the center of the building, and that's not counting the stalls that players spread out on the ground. There are not many people who come to the vegetable market to buy ingredients, only a few people walk around the vegetable market, and they are all in a hurry, and they all seem to have a clear goal.

The market is broadly divided into four areas: fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat and dry goods. In each area, there are a few neatly stocked shops with badges representing the organization's name. Among these badges, Bai Si knows two of them, one is the red and blue logo of Pepsi Happy, and the other is the logo of a small hamster that represents a cat's boogie chain restaurant. Others, such as an open book with a long knife next to a heavy machine gun, she didn't recognize.

The stores set up by these organizations not only sell the corresponding goods, but also put up signs that "buy ingredients and enter the store to discuss in detail".

Bai Siyi first came to the fruit and vegetable area and walked into a Pepsi store opened by Bad Luck. This shop sells vegetables, and when I looked around, I found that there were almost all kinds of vegetables that could be used as ingredients. However, there are only one or two of each kind of vegetables, not a small pile like the vegetable market outside the game. Moreover, the ingredients sold here are priced according to one piece or one, not by weight.

After a little thought, Bai Si figured out the reason, after all, these ingredients were turned into by players, and each player is estimated to only drop a single ingredient, and these ingredients are different in size and weight, so they can only be sold according to a single one.

Bai Si knocked out Lin Feifei's hands that wanted to pinch the tomatoes one by one, Lin Feifei lowered his head with a aggrieved face, and Bai Si explained in a low voice, "It's all dead people, don't touch it." ”

The grievance on Lin Feifei's face immediately turned into horror, and he hid behind Bai Siyi, eager to stay away from those vegetables, as if he was afraid that those vegetables would suddenly jump up and bite him.

Bai Siyi looked at the boy with some amusement, patted him gently as if comfortingly, then turned his head, pointed to the potatoes, and asked the sleepy female clerk in the store, "Boss, how do you sell these potatoes?" ”

The middle-aged woman who was pointing up and down like a chicken pecking rice, heard that business came to the door, quickly wiped her face with her hand, got up from the chair, and enthusiastically introduced Bai Siyi: "Two hundred and one, the same price, refuse to bargain." There are only three left, how many do I want? ”

Bai Si blinked, and the green light in his eyes flashed slyly: "You heard me wrong, I mean I'm going to sell potatoes, what price?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked Bai Si up and down anxiously, and seemed to think that her appearance was not bad, and she should be the one who could get the potatoes, so she replied, "One hundred and twenty-one." If you have more than three, I'll give you the number. The middle-aged woman compared one hand to one and five to the other.

Bai Siyi raised his eyebrows: "Then I might as well set up a stall to sell it by myself." ”

The middle-aged woman shrugged her shoulders indifferently and replied, "Then you can try your luck, potatoes are still quite popular with many people, you wait for two or three days, and it is estimated that they will be sold." ”

Bai Siyi pointed to the cauliflower in the corner again and asked, "What about this?" What is the buying and selling price? ”

The middle-aged woman didn't know how many players she had dealt with to buy and sell ingredients, and immediately understood, Bai Siyi just wanted to inquire about the price, and it was estimated that she didn't mean to buy and sell ingredients at all, so she immediately became listless again, and sat back on the chair, "There are few people who want this, 140 for sale, and the purchase price is 60." ”

Bai Siyi asked the price of several vegetables again, and the middle-aged woman replied more and more powerlessly, but there may be any rules and regulations, she can only answer all questions, and in the end she simply took out a form from the package and threw it to Bai Siyi for her to see, and continued to peck at the rice.

Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei, who came over, carefully read the table with the selling price of vegetables and the purchase price. Bai Siyi's first discovery was that the purchase price here was about 60% of the sale price. The second finding is that this is the opposite of the real world, where the more versatile and inexpensive ingredients are, the more expensive the dungeon becomes, and the more scarce and rare the rare ingredients in the real world, the cheaper they are.

Satisfied, Bai Si put the form back on the countertop of the store. The middle-aged woman had stopped the chick pecking at the rice because she was already asleep.

Bai Siyi had a bold idea, if now she secretly took two potatoes, or tomatoes, and hid them in her chest...... No one should find out, right?

The temptation of this idea was too great, and Bai Si stared at the two potatoes viciously for a long time before he made up his mind and pulled Lin Feifei towards the next area.

The middle-aged woman, who was sleeping soundly, was already tilted to the side, and her mouth was making a small dream noise.

"It's okay, not stupid."

Bai Siyi pulled Lin Feifei and walked around this small vegetable market, and the biggest gain was to know many kinds of ingredients that he couldn't think of before.

What kind of rat meat in the meat section, locusts. What sea urchins and starfish in aquatic areas. It turns out that these things are all edible.

Lin Feifei looked at these ingredients along the way, his eyes shining. If it weren't for the fact that these were all corpses, Bai Siyi thought he could rush up and take a bite of each one and taste it. Especially in the place where fruit was sold, Lin Feifei wanted to reach out and touch those strange fruits several times, and Bai Siyi could almost hear the sound of fear and gluttony fighting back and forth in his heart.

The two of them looked at the players' stalls one by one. The ingredients sold by these players are not systematic. As long as you don't need it, you will pile it all together and wait for someone to pick it up. Most of the ingredients sold by players are off-the-beaten-path, and there are very few sought-after items such as eggs and meat. However, the selling price is cheaper than the price in those stores.

Bai Si pulled Lin Feifei to an uninhabited corner, and the two of them bowed their heads and discussed.

"Actually, we can use the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of the store to buy ingredients from other players at a higher price than the store, and then sell them at a lower price than the store. As long as we are patient, even if it takes a long time, we can make up a set of ingredients for the two of us. Bai Siyi tugged at his clothes with a sad face. It's just that we don't know if we're going to break any of the rules of the safe zone, after all, I don't think it's just the two of us who have thought of such a simple solution. If it is because of such a few ingredients, you can only play a single machine in the future, and it will be more than worth the loss.

Bai Siyi's brows became tighter and tighter: "What's more, we don't have start-up capital. Both of us were forcibly teleported, and now the points are still negative. ”

Lin Feifei grabbed his hair, looking like he wanted to say something.

Bai Si didn't wait for Lin Feifei to speak, and he sternly rejected his proposal that he hadn't opened yet, "No." ”

Lin Feifei lowered his head, the toes of one foot rubbed around on the ground and drew circles, and objected in a low voice: "Anyway, it won't hurt." Sister, as long as we sell a piece of meat, we will ......"

Bai Siyi once again interrupted Lin Feifei's words in a stern tone: "I said no, we can think of other ways." ”

After saying this, Bai Si looked at the aggrieved expression on Lin Feifei's face, and his heart was immediately filled with pity, only to feel that it was too much for him to talk to Lin Feifei so harshly, so he pulled up Lin Feifei's severed left forearm, and said softly: "Look, it has grown a lot, and it will be able to rise to the wrist in a few days." With my sister here, how can I make you lose your arm again. ”

Lin Feifei looked up at Bai Siyi's eyes, and his eyes were immediately full of tears. A little choked up and called "Sister......

Bai Siyi rubbed Lin Feifei's soft hair with his other hand, and Lin Feifei hurriedly shrank his head to avoid Bai Siyi's claws.

"Why do boys cry all the time?" Bai Siyi said very irresponsibly.

Lin Feifei turned his head sideways and didn't look at Bai Siyi, wiped away his tears with his right hand, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's my sister's eyes, it's too scary."
