Chapter 139: Business
He turned his attention to the system space and was stunned when he saw the balance of bonus points.
After the end of the Jewel City Offensive and Defensive Battle, the reward points increased to 13955, and it cost 5000+ to exchange for 5-4 armored combat suits, although there are more than 3000 reward points in the defense of Maxim's Cannery, but most of the CMC300 power armor and exchange machine guns are spent, and it stands to reason that the remaining reward points should be less than 9000.
However, the reality is that the current reward point balance is 14566, which not only rises back, but also goes further.
He looked confused, he didn't know how the more than 5,000 increments came about, he obviously didn't do anything after he came to Toshima, even if the bald head was killed by Tan Zhen The incident can be exchanged for the dissatisfaction of the local residents, at most there are dozens of them.
Reward points earned by promising to provide regeneration potions to the allies?
No, Qiaoqiao and Nanmu haven't left yet. Even if they have delivered the medicine to their destination, it will take a lot of time for their reputation to circulate in the army, just like beans on the vegetable picking rack, harvesting reward points is a gradual process, and it is absolutely impossible to have more than 5,000 reward points in one or two days.
Not the people of Gem City, not the soldiers of the Confederates, not the fishermen of Toshima, where did the more than 5,000 reward points come from?
"Will it be ......?"
He suddenly thought of a possibility, Kite City!
At that time, the soldiers of Yuancheng who did not completely annihilate and forcibly occupy the Maxim's Canning Factory just wanted to leave a small tail, which might bring them additional gains.
It's just that he didn't expect that 5,000 reward points would come in.
You must know that the number of residents of Kite City is not as large as the number of residents of Gem City, and the population is only seven or eight thousand. Like the expeditionary force was defeated by the Panda Man Legion, the news of the hasty escape back also attracted dissatisfaction with the level, compared to Luo Zuoming's use of eyeball robots to promote his evil deeds everywhere, at most 3000-4000 reward points into the account, I didn't expect it to be more than 5000, close to 6000,.
Seemingly...... The choice of the Kite City side was to make the defeat of the expeditionary force public, which stimulated and incited 75% of the people of Gundam Kite City to become dissatisfied with him.
What do those people want to do? Do you want to fight to the death?
Tang Yan didn't think deeply about the motives of the city lord of Kite City and the others who chose to completely tear their faces with him after knowing the military strength they had, because the story of the ship boss was finished.
Although most of his attention was on the system space, he still figured out the relationship between the Ship Boss and Shinrikyo.
About 26 years ago, several groups of marauders who had been routed by the Allies came to Toshima from the interior, and with the help of traitors, they eliminated the armed forces on the island, killing the old man and the man, leaving only the woman and the little girl, and taking over the island by force and becoming the new residents of Toshima.
Although the raiders had elaborate plans for the attack and slaughter, some escaped, including the ship boss.
He had always wanted to take revenge, kill the marauders, and retake Toshima.
This is not an easy task.
He approached the Allied forces for help, but unfortunately the Allied forces were under fierce attack by mutants at that time, coupled with the intensifying internal divisions, it was impossible to draw some troops into the peninsula area to recover Toshima, and the slave trader group that had just gained power in Jeseong was very taboo about the Allied army's behavior of penetrating its tentacles into Qidi and even the peninsula.
The Captain of the Boat thus realizes the cruel fact that the high-ranking men of Jeseong can tolerate the burning and looting of marauders everywhere, but they cannot tolerate the righteous behavior of the Allied forces. Because the marauders are the beings who spread fear and death, the more the countrymen are bullied and ravaged, the more they will rely on the protection of the big city. In short, it is the relationship between the police and the wicked, if there is no villain, the police will lose the meaning of existence and will not be eligible to collect protection money.
The justice and bravery of the Allied forces will inspire the people of the peninsula to think, compare, and then awaken, so that they can unite in the face of many difficulties around them.
It is a very simple truth that the team with scattered hearts is not easy to lead, and the races with scattered hearts are easy to enslave.
Unable to rely on the power of the allies who have principles, a sense of justice, and a will to protect, an organization that is growing extremely fast enters his field of vision------ Shinrikyo!
Compared with the allies, Shinrikyo pursues unscrupulous and senseless principles. The creed of the organization is that no matter how many sacrifices and dark means are, it must ride the east wind of the wasteland, which can also be said to be the great catastrophe caused by the evil of human nature in the old era (like the flood of destruction recorded in the Bible), leading human civilization to open a new page.
The boat boss's idea is good, but the reality is very harsh. The 20-year expansion plan set by the priests of Shinrikyo was to focus on spiritual infiltration, supplemented by physical conquest, and radiate influence from the Central Plains to the surrounding areas.
In the years that followed, the Allied forces and the Truth Society quickly came to a confrontation due to the conflict of ideas, and the expansion of Shinrikyo was curbed, and it was unable to break through the Central Plains and enter the peninsula region.
In the blink of an eye, 10 years later, seeing that the hope of revenge with the help of Shinrikyo was getting slimmer and worse, and his physical fitness was getting worse and worse due to the long immersion in the high-radiation environment, he decided to change his strategy.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and in order to win the confrontation with the Allied forces, the Shinrikyo often obtains information from the marauders of the wilderness.
Having blended into the middle of the organization, he used his position to contact the wilderness raider groups suppressed by the Allied forces, and through the process of temptation, heart-to-heart, and co-optation, he painted a beautiful picture for those wicked people who were trying to survive in the cracks.
Eight years ago, a civil strife broke out in Shinrikyo.
The Ship Boss takes the opportunity to break away from the Order, leading the wilderness raiders who believe in him to steal Shinrikyo military supplies, rescue a ghoul (Tan Zhen) who has been the subject of research, and blame the Allies for absconding to the peninsula.
After that, use the parts of the Shinrikyo military supplies to repair a military frigate, and then start a war of revenge against the invaders of their homeland.
The process is not exhaustive, and the result is naturally that the boat boss wins.
Twenty-six years ago, the inhabitants of Toshima invaded with wilderness raiders and killed all the islanders.
Seventeen years later, the inhabitants of Toshima, who had escaped with their lives, took revenge on the wilderness raiders.
The captain of the ship won the battle, only to find that his sister and niece had become the invader's woman and gave birth to offspring.
What was once a wilderness raider has become a real fisherman in Toshima, and there is a next generation.
How does he choose? If the invaders are allowed to pay for their blood debts as they did in the oath they made back then, how will they face the women who survived?
It's a story that's ironic and full of dark humor.
In the end, the ship boss chose to compromise with reality, and did not kill all the people who invaded and occupied Toshima, but only executed the leaders who tortured and killed the islanders the most that year.
In this way, the old wilderness raiders and the new wilderness raiders make their home on an island.
It looks like a happy ending, but it just looks like it......
In the past few years, the two groups of people were able to get along, but as the body of the ship boss decayed day by day due to the radiation poisoning he received during the Shinrikyo period, the confrontation between the two groups of people became more and more intense. Just like Tan Zhen stabbed his bald head to death on the street before, it is just a clear expression of this opposite.
Tang Yan flipped through the timeline, and after a glass of wine, the boss of the boat said a word and talked about a person.
A person's name, to be exact.
Merlin!
A celebrity in Gem City, the leader of a group of black mercenary groups.
The chopsticks that the boat boss was holding were put down, and the chopsticks on the left were not in a good position, so they rolled to the edge of the table and fell to the ground.
Tan Zhen left the lobby and went to the kitchen to get him new chopsticks.
"I've heard people outside say that you have an extreme and flamboyant personality, and now it seems that the rumors are not credible, and you are more thoughtful than I expected."
The story of the boat boss is a bit long, and things are very dramatic.
The Toshima traitor who was in league with the Marauders was brushed off by him, but Tang Yan still captured this important story element.
"Xia Xin regarded the conditions you offered as deliberately making things difficult, I don't think so." Tang Yan looked at his face and said, "Especially after listening to the above story. ”
Previously, the ship boss made a condition, as long as he killed all the people of the Black Hand Mercenary Group, he would sell the sea fish to him at the price given to Huang Lei.
"You guessed it right, Merlin is the traitor to Toshima who eats inside and out."
Tan Zhen came back and put a pair of brand-new chopsticks in front of the boat boss.
At this time, Zang Feng said: "Why did he betray you? ”
"Because he thinks we killed his parents." "Twenty-nine years ago, his parents were captured by the islanders of the Langya settlement on their way south to fish, so as to blackmail the people of Toshima to give enough food to ransom them. At that time, the year was not good, and many farmlands on the mainland were out of harvest, not to mention the islanders who made a living from marine fishing. ”
"A few days later, a small boat came to the sea with two bodies in it."
Needless to say, whose corpse is.
Zang Feng: "......"
Tang Yan: "......"
The topic is a bit heavy.
Tang Yan raised his glass and toasted the boat boss with a glass of wine: "The story is almost over, let's talk about business." ”
Wow......
The boat boss grinned and swallowed the wine in the glass, did not pick up the vegetables, looked at him and said, "I heard that you are going to restart the production line of Maxim's Canning Factory?" ”
Tang Yan nodded: "Yes." ”
"Is there any interest in developing a high-quality canned marine fish?"
"Please be clear."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a low knock on the door outside.
The boat boss frowned and motioned for Tan Zhen to open the door.
When the sunlight spilled down the crack in the door and fell on the floor, Gao Kai walked in and shook his head in frustration at Tang Yan.
It is clear that the search for a salvage ship failed.
"Let's sit down and eat first." Zang Feng beckoned to sit down.
The hunter with the carved head of Moxican saw the dishes on the table with a green glow in his eyes, like an old wolf who had been hungry for several winters and saw a newborn lamb, and couldn't wait to pull over the chair by the window and sit down, pinched a piece of Ankang monster meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, smashed it and chewed it a few bites, showing an expression of enjoyment.
With the material conditions of the current wasteland world, the dishes used by the ship boss to entertain Tang Yan are definitely worthy of the standard of a state banquet.
Tang Yan didn't care about Gao Kai's hungry ghost eating appearance, and his eyes fell on the person who walked in behind.
The man appeared to be in his forties, with deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, a thin face, a gray coat, and a Type 54 pistol strapped to his waist.
"Lao Xing, don't go, sit down and have lunch together." The ship's boss spoke in a calm voice, and it was evident that he was very close to the man.
Tan Zhen lowered his voice and said a word when he passed by Tang Yan's side, and he understood the relationship between Lao Xing and the ship boss.
The person who sent Gao Kai to the Shell Tower was the man of Lao Xing's niece, and he was also the marauder who invaded Toshima in the first place.
The enemy who should have met with swords and soldiers has now become a relative and friend who eats at the dinner table.
"......" Tang Yan didn't speak, just nodded to the man.
After two more glasses of wine, the boat boss continued the conversation he had just had.
"Have you ever thought about putting luminescent fungi together with marine fish to process them into new canned marine fish and put them on the market?"
"Luminescent fungi combined with marine fish?"
"Yes," said the boat boss: "I know that the Academy of Sciences is now in the hands of Xia Gongzi, and the Maxim's Canning Factory does not have to worry about the supply of washing solutions for removing radioactive substances from marine fish, but even so, there is no way to perfectly solve the problem of radioactivity in fish meat. What do you think of this proposal? ”
"You...... Able to provide a large number of luminescent fungi? After listening to the boat boss's story, Tang Yan was really taken aback, for the food industry in the peninsula region, luminous fungi are a luxury, which can be seen from the fact that the price of blue dolphin jerky smeared with luminescent fungal body fluids in the fish market is higher than that of mutated double-headed beef.
The so-called scarcity is expensive, precisely because the luminescent fungus is difficult to cultivate artificially, and the picking process is accompanied by great risks, so it has become a sought-after commodity in the wasteland continent.
The captain of the ship nodded very slowly: "Do you think that the civil strife of Shinrikyo 8 years ago was just a simple struggle for power?" ”
Tang Yan's eyebrows first flew, then slowly fell, and finally frowned and said, "You mean...... Will the truth have a way to cultivate luminescent fungi in abundance? ”
The boat boss said: "The so-called hope is often just a tool used by some people to realize their own interests, when hope comes true and salvation comes, will you still struggle?" Will you still try? And for the sake of good promises...... Lies, to dedicate blood, sweat and even souls? ”
"The purpose of Shinrikyo is to bring about the new humanity, the elimination of the old, and the new chapter of humanity and its civilization. Rather than finding a place of refuge in the wasteland where endangered species can survive. ”
Tang Yan said: "To put it simply, there is a dispute of ideas within the Shinrikyo because of the cultivation technology of luminescent fungi. A large part of the population pursues their own evolution to overcome the harsh environment, rather than using science and technology to transform the environment? ”
The captain of the ship glanced at him with a somewhat surprised gaze, as if he was surprised that Tang Yan had such a coherent mind.
"After the civil strife that affected the entire Shinrikyo religion, the artificial cultivation of luminescent fungi evaporated from the world, and no one mentioned it."
Tang Yan looked at the boat boss with blazing eyes.
He didn't say anything, and he didn't have to say anything.
PS: The first order came out less than 400, which is really miserable for a boutique author, from 3000+ to 300 average bookings, well, I had insomnia last night for most of the night.
However, if you push the 1000+ first-order books on the list, there are not as many readers above the disciple level as this book, which shows that I have a lot of diehards.
You guys, if it weren't for the desperate reward, I must have a reason to convince myself to end this book in a hurry.
However, just like what was said in the testimonials on the shelf, I must also write down carefully for the support of you people, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy~
Getting back to the point, I will change it every day in the future, 4000 words per update, upload it at 8 o'clock in the morning, and occasionally add more.
Today's update is 4000 words, and there is no more at night, so there is no need to wait, that is, to restore the update rhythm of "With the Stars".
