Chapter 20: Ransom
Yun Qi's scathing, but point-to-point words, said Cliff speechless.
That's right, after he abandoned his family honor, Spencer no longer had anything to do with him. Although in his original opinion, what kind of big family that has been inherited for a hundred years is far less resounding than the name of "New Human Pioneer".
One is just a slight splash in history, and the other is the pioneer of the man-made Grand Canal for the benefit of (at least Cliff thinks) for all eternity.
At this time, Cliff regretted a little that he shouldn't have torn his face with the elders of the clan in order to get the qualification to become "Wicks".
In the end, he still paid a huge price for his momentary youthfulness.
In fact, even if the family behind Cliff was still silently supporting him, Yun Qi wouldn't care at all.
In his opinion, unless you are the godson of the Lord God, he may also consider whether to sell some face.
However, Yun Qi was a little interested in the ransom offered by Cliff, and at the same time wanted to see what shocking words a nobleman with a chivalrous mind would say.
Seeing that things were still turning around, Cliff's pale face suddenly returned a little bloody.
"I have money, I have lots and lots of money!"
Cliff soon found that his words had not caused Yun Qi to look sideways, but his face had become even more gloomy.
Only then did he realize that in the last days, there was no difference between money and dung.
So, he immediately changed his previous tone: "Not only money, I can provide you with a large amount of food and water, enough for you to live for more than half a year." ”
Yun Qi and Neo glanced at each other, their eyes full of sneers.
"What's wrong?" Cliff didn't understand the meaning of the smile in the other man's eyes.
"You don't want to tell us that the huge castle has only stored half a year's worth of food reserves, do you?"
Cliff swallowed. hesitated for a moment, and finally after Yun Qi deliberately moved his finger to pull the trigger, he got rid of his luck.
It's a bunch of guys who can do anything.
"If it's all canned food for long-term storage, I can give you a vintage. No more, you've been wandering in the wilderness for a while, you should know the common price of food outside. ”
Neo is naturally well aware of the price of food.
Before the end times. A $9 worth of canned mushrooms can now be swapped for a star's overnight warm-up bed.
Of course, if you support a woman, then you will serve you indefinitely, and the service you enjoy will definitely make the emperor blush.
A big reason for this is that the Resident Evil outbreak node is really the hottest time.
When the workers at the power plant, like the rest of humans, were turned into the living dead, large swathes of America's power grid system quickly collapsed.
Without electricity, the freezer would not be able to function properly for only a few days. A large amount of food ferments and spoils in the heat.
Yun Qi and they were able to last for three months, in addition to Yun Qi's far-sighted selection of canned food with a long storage time, there was also a green and pollution-free mobile ice storage in the heraldic space.
In the face of Cliff's generosity, Yun Qipi said with a smile: "That's not how arithmetic is calculated. If I kill you, everything in the castle will not belong to me, including the food and water you promised. ”
When Cliff heard this, he was not shocked and laughed: "You think I'm dead." Will you be able to become the master of the castle? To tell you the truth, the entire castle's power supply system requires my unique electronic password. Without this electronic code, the castle would have literally become a medieval dead city. In addition, I might as well tell you that the password is 36 digits long, and it is composed of different languages and scripts in different countries, and the whole world, except for me. Nobody knows about it. And you don't have to think about using any hacker to crack it. It was the Spencer family's proprietary computer system, comparable to the U.S. government's military system. ”
"Oh, that's right!" Yun Qi just said lightly, as if he had no interest in Cliff's pride in the castle's brain system.
Yun Qi's attitude undoubtedly slapped Cliff's pride hard, and a sense of humiliation that he had never felt before hit his heart. It made him extremely sad.
But sad is sad, when his life is being held by others, what else can he do?
He re-emphasized: "If you enter the wrong password three times, then the self-destruct system in the castle will be triggered." I can assure you that you won't have time to escape the castle before you start self-destructing. ”
Cliff swore that he believed that Yunqi's composure was nothing more than the complacent complacency of the victors, nothing more than a pretense.
In fact, as he said, the intelligent brain system of the castle adopts the world's most advanced science and technology, and it is enough to stand out among the powerful countries with the high requirements of the national level.
Although he didn't know that Neo was a genius hacker, even if he did, he still wouldn't worry about the security of the Brain Firewall.
Because there's no need for that at all.
It's just that Yun Qi's expression and attitude are really intriguing.
"In that case, the price you used to buy yourself didn't attract much interest to me, so I'll give you another chance."
Yun Qi yawned with interest, looking at the meaning, if he really didn't give something to raise his interest, maybe the finger holding the trigger would be accidentally deducted because he was tired.
Cliff's eyelids twitched a few times, with a double hint of anger and fear.
Of course, he knows that the price of human life is that the other party sits on the ground without any scruples.
However, considering that there was more to his life than that, Cliff quickly lowered his noble head.
"I have something on me that I can give to you as my ransom. But it's in my shirt pocket, and I have to take it out for you, but you have to make sure you keep the muzzle out of the way so you don't hurt me by misunderstanding. ”
Yun Qi didn't mean to move Barrett, just gave Neo a look.
Neo crouched down and pulled a thumb-sized needle from Cliff's jacket pocket.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Qi's eyes.
It turned out to be a genetic evolution potion.
[Genetic Evolution Elixir (Incomplete Version): Non-identification item, cannot be taken out of this quest world. When injected into the body, you can gain 1 evolution point. There is a 50%-90% chance that genetic evolution fails, causing a genetic breakdown. Evaluation: Every time a creature evolves, it comes at a heavy price. 】
It's a good thing, but the 50%-90% gene collapse rate is really hard to swallow.
And if it can't be brought out of the mission world, its value itself has dropped to a full seventy percent. (To be continued.) )
