Chapter 159 Investigate Intelligence and Awaken Elixir
The price of fruits and vegetables is relatively high, about five to ten times the price of grain, a typical luxury.
Some of the things of the mutant plant are outrageously expensive, such as the kernel of the man-eating tree, which is given to food by five thousand times its weight, or purchased for a long time, and it is obvious that this thing is not only useful, but also in short supply.
Some of the mutant beasts are also very expensive, no worse than the cannibal tree core I just saw.
However, Zhang Hao has no intention of selling things, on the contrary, he will only buy things, after all, the daily necessities over there in Daxia don't cost much money at all, and he can exchange a lot of things here.
At the same time, Zhang Hao found that staying in this hall had many benefits.
Countless people who handed in the task were talking in a whisper, what they said was almost not a secret, but it was the common sense that Zhang Hao needed the most, and then contact the items they handed in the task, and soon they could figure out what those items were used for and where they came from.
Zhang Hao simply returned to the corner where he was reading, and listened there with relish.
It wasn't until nightfall, when the hall began to thin out, that he left with the last wave of people.
After two or three hours, he got too much information, and even reconnoitred the hall, but found no monitoring equipment, and there were almost no electronic communication equipment in the entire gathering place.
Zhang Hao simply put down a few bugs in the four hidden places in the mission hall, and he didn't have to come to squat again tomorrow, he only needed to come and retrieve the recording once.
But he had only walked less than fifty meters before he found that his wireless receiver could not communicate with the eavesdroppers.
Zhang Hao: "...... What's going on? ”
Athena: "I don't know, I suspect that the environment of the other world has a great influence on radio waves. ”
Zhang Hao: "No wonder I rarely see electronic communication equipment here, and remote communication still uses communication birds." ”
Athena: "That's true, I'll try my best to analyze it, but I haven't seen this happen, don't get your hopes up." ”
Of course Zhang Hao didn't care, he didn't have anyone to contact, and Athena and Gary's consciousness link was not affected.
Found a mid-range hotel in the middle of the intelligence, Zhang Hao stayed in it, and the room rate was paid with twenty pounds of flour.
If you move to a lower-end hotel, you can stay for five pounds and ten pounds for one night, but there is no guarantee that someone will rush in in the middle of the night and surprise you.
The night was not peaceful.
Fortunately, this is a mid-range hotel, and the sound of couching from next door is only faint, Zhang Hao is listening to the neon area small movie hypnosis, but there are still gunshots and even screams outside the window from time to time, which is a bit annoying.
Zhang Hao finally brought earmuffs and told Athena to take them away if there was an alarm, so that he could sleep peacefully for half the night.
Zhang Hao didn't go out in the morning, he concentrated on finishing the homework that should be done in the room, and yesterday he rushed Luke to explore around, so he delayed almost a whole day and didn't practice.
Overall, he was satisfied with yesterday's harvest, but he was also disappointed.
The technology here seems to be decades better than that of Great Xia in some aspects, but many of the things people use are still those things, such as guns are still activated by gunpowder, and there are no laser-electromagnetic energy guns in the trading hall.
Technology also seems to have stagnated, many things are obviously assembled and reused from second-hand recycling, and many humans here don't seem to return to the modern jungle anymore, and when it comes to it, there are all kinds of fears, and many people have mentioned that only the powerful awakened can lead to survive in the modern jungle.
Even so, it was only an expedition, and I didn't hear anyone say that there was a gathering place on the other side of the modern jungle.
It's no wonder that although there are many things here, it is still very backward, because there is no one to rebuild civilization anymore, and everything has been lost to the legendary terrifying modern jungle.
Zhang Hao pondered whether the next teleportation would be to return to the original teleportation point, where no terrifying mutated creatures were found, and the experience of the Smith family also showed that close to the polar regions, the number of mutated creatures was extremely rare, and he could gradually advance south from there.
However, the reason for the establishment of this gathering place is that there is a nearby teleportation point back to modern society, which is said to be relatively less dangerous, and a lot of the technological items here are obtained from there.
Zhang Hao thought about it, maybe it was still the north outside, and the number of mutated creatures was not so large that it made people desperate.
And one of the benefits of the waypoint here is that it is opened more frequently, about once every three days.
Although the mutated creatures in the modern jungle are also allowed to break into here, there are many people in the gathering place, and the small number of mutant creatures that break in are completely delivered to the door.
Tomorrow is when the waypoint opens, and many teams in the gathering place will enter the modern jungle under the leadership of some awakened people to find supplies and hunt mutated creatures.
Zhang Hao felt that he could also follow, it was only the eleventh day that he came this time, and he could come back three days later after he passed.
After making up his mind, Zhang Hao washed up and went out to the animal shop owner.
After entering the door, Zhang Hao threw a pack of cigarettes to the boss as usual, and then said that he would have a few days to run errands, and the boss of those cats and dogs did not need to keep them.
Although the boss was a little regretful, he didn't do anything, so he collected three cigarettes, which was not a loss.
Zhang Hao simply took out two more bottles of beer, handed one bottle to the boss, opened the other bottle and drank it himself, the boss took a small sip vigilantly, and then was pleasantly surprised, it is difficult to drink beer here.
The boss sighed a few words, and touted that Zhang Hao must be a powerful awakener, otherwise he would not be able to get beer from the modern jungle, and his attitude towards Zhang Hao was much better after that.
People who can go to the modern jungle to obtain supplies are not simple, either this person is powerful, or this person's boss is powerful.
Zhang Hao sipped a beer while chatting with the boss, and asked about the mutant creatures by the way.
When talking about the incomparably expensive man-eating tree core, the boss suddenly said: "Yes, that's the main raw material of the awakening potion, it's no wonder if it's not expensive, who doesn't want to be an awakener?" ”
Zhang Hao's heart moved, and he pretended not to care and said: "What's the use of just having raw materials, hehe." ”
The boss didn't care too much, and said casually: "Yes, the recipes for the awakening potions are in the hands of several big forces in the gathering place, and ordinary people can only sell this kind of thing to them." Unless the quantity is large, you can only get one, and the ghost knows how many awakening potions are enough to make so many raw materials, five or ten? Who knows. ”
Zhang Hao knew in his heart, isn't this the same as the return of Great Xia, a building on the ground has changed from a bungalow to a high-rise building, and the returnee gets a set, and the extra is the profit of the real estate merchant, who will do it if the profit is low?
