Chapter 39: Kindness
"Map, map...... Well~! By the way, it seems that the supermarket shown on the map should be ...... It's this location. However, there is still a long way to go from the base city to the middle of the road! It's a bit ...... if you're in a hurry."
Wang Yang held the map in both hands, and kept looking around while walking in the direction of the city gate, hoping to find a means of transportation for him to take, otherwise if he really let him walk to the supermarket in the mission, he would not know that he would need to walk to the Year of the Monkey!
Soon, when he came to the city gate, Wang Yang found that the city gate was surrounded by rows of motorcycles, and many people took the keys from different motorcycle owners and turned on the accelerator directly and left outside the base city.
Wang Yang's eyes lit up~!
"Motorcycles! I really didn't expect to be able to see motorcycles here~! ”
For motorcycles, as long as a person who can ride a bicycle and has mastered the balance of power, it is extremely simple to ride a motorcycle, not to mention Wang Yang, who can already drive a motorcycle!
As a sling, although in his previous life, he watched those rich and handsome people drive all kinds of sports cars, but Wang Yang only had a dilapidated bicycle in the university, and sometimes he rode his own dilapidated bicycle when he needed to go out, and he could only say that he admired the deepest part of his heart for sports cars or something~! However, in his previous life, Wang Yang did not ride a bicycle in his hometown, but traveled by motorcycle, after all, the speed of a motorcycle is comparable to that of a bicycle, but after coming to this city to go to college, because of the implementation of the motorcycle restriction order, no motorcycles are allowed to drive on the road, so naturally Wang Yang does not have any opportunity to drive a motorcycle, otherwise Wang Yang would not want to ride his dilapidated bicycle!
Although, I haven't driven a motorcycle for three years, but in terms of technology~! If it's a skill that you have known for a long time, how can you forget it? At best, it's a little rusty, and you should be able to get back to the way you used to feel when you ride it for a while.
Wang Yang walked in front of an elderly man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old and asked, "Boss, are you renting a motorcycle here?" ”
"Yes, I wonder where you're going?"
Wang Yang took the map in his hand, pointed to the location of the supermarket shown on the map and asked, "I don't know how much it costs to get here." ”
"...... here," the old man muttered to himself after looking at Wang Yang with some hesitation.
"Young man, are you really sure you're going to this place?"
Wang Yang asked with some confusion: "Yes, what's wrong with the old man?" ”
The old man sighed and kindly persuaded, "Young man, you have taken the task of going there." However, I advise you not to go, it is a full 50 kilometers from the base city to get there, and you have to pass through this jungle during the process, and there are many high-level mutant beasts in it. I see you...... It's better not to go there. ”
Of course, Wang Yang knew that what the old man said to him was a kind persuasion, so he smiled on his face, and just when he wanted to say something, the middle-aged man on the side said directly to Wang Yang: "Little brother, don't listen to his nonsense, the jungle on the road is only level 1 or 2 mutant beasts, and there is no danger." Come to me to rent a car, it's very cheap, deposit 1 low grade blue crystal nucleus. The rent plus a full tank counts you as 1 high-grade white crystal nucleus, what do you think? ”
The old man on the side muttered and moved, as if he wanted to say something to Wang Yang, but he couldn't say anything just because of the middle-aged man on the side.
However, as soon as Wang Yang heard him say this, he immediately understood the meaning of the middle-aged man's words, and after combining what the old man said to him just now. Presumably, in his opinion, he may not have any strength, and when he dies, the blue crystal nucleus will be him, which is far more valuable than a motorcycle!
Of course, a shrewd person will always be careful about what he has to gain, and will not let go of the opportunity to make money and not make money.
However, after Wang Yang came out of the blacksmith shop, he passed through the bazaar, where he bought some wild necessities, and finally understood the value of the crystal nucleus.
So to speak...... A low-grade blue crystal nucleus is basically what they get paid for almost three months of work. Therefore, as long as he can't come back, he can earn three months of remuneration for nothing, what a good deal!
Besides, there is definitely a 100% possibility that the middle-aged man deliberately raised the price a lot, far from what he said~!
It's just that such a world, such a human heart......
However, people's hearts may not be like this, just like the old man in front of him, although it seems that business is a little cold, but he has a kind heart that ordinary people in this world have lost!
Wang Yang didn't pay attention to what the middle-aged man said, but looked at the old man with a smile on his face and asked, "The old man is fine, how much does it cost you to go back and forth here and there?" ”
The old man looked at Wang Yang with some hesitation and then at the middle-aged man, and said slowly: "Deposit 1 high-grade white crystal nucleus, rent 2 medium-white crystal nuclei, and pack the motorcycle with full oil!" ”
Really!
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Yang as if he was a newcomer, so he deliberately raised the price, anyway, he thought that Wang Yang would not be able to come back if he went there, so it was better to knock him hard, anyway, no one knew except the dead old man.
The middle-aged man knew that the matter had been revealed, and glared fiercely at the old man with cruelty in his eyes.
"Deal! Give ......"
After speaking, Wang Yang directly took out a low-grade cyan crystal nucleus from the package and handed it to the old man.
Suddenly, the old man took the low-grade cyan crystal nucleus that Wang Yang had placed in his hand with a shocked face, and looked at the crystal nucleus in his hand with disbelief in disbelief.
"This ...... This...... Young man, I, I ...... This,"
The old man had some speech dissonance, and he didn't know what to say.
Wang Yang looked at the old man with a smile on his face and said, "Old man, you can take it, you don't need to look for it." Just ...... Your kind reminder to me! ”
"This ......"
The old man looked at the huge wealth in his hand, and for a moment he hesitated and struggled in his heart. Finally, his eyes looked at Wang Yang affirmatively, and he handed the cyan crystal nucleus in his hand back to Wang Yang, and said, "No...... I can't take it, young man, it's as much as it is. You gave me such a huge sum of money, I really ...... You can't take it! ”
A surprised expression flashed in Wang Yang's eyes, but it was more of an expression of approval. After the incident that happened to 'Brother Snake' in the mall, Wang Yang can be said to have experienced the most profound change in his heart. Let him understand a truth: human nature is selfish!
Especially in such an apocalypse, there are no too many constraints, only survival! Everyone who survives wants to survive better, only to seek more benefits!
Even if it's killing, they're willing to do it, and it's all for the sake of survival!
Although no killings are allowed in the base city, it does not mean that people cannot commit fraud, abduction, and other illegal things in their previous lives.
After all...... Benefits! What else can't happen to the people of this world for the sake of profit? Just like the middle-aged uncle who deceived Wang Yang just now......
(It's just that the old man in front of him is ...... It's rare to still maintain that kind heart! )
Wang Yang sighed secretly in his heart.
In his opinion, although he is very wealthy for them, only he knows that the crystal nucleus required for the cultivation of Guangguang does not include the use of crystal nuclei for martial arts.
However, even if he really needed so much, Wang Yang was still willing to take out a cyan crystal nucleus and give it to this old man, no why! It's just that he still keeps that kind heart.
In his previous life, although Wang Yang was poor and had no money, he was different from other slings, he had a very kind heart, and he would prepare some change at any time.
Human nature is inherently good, not inherently evil! It's just that when the interests reach a certain time, who can resist the greed in their hearts and maintain a mirror of goodness. When once, twice, three times...... Many times later, after tasting the sweetness of benefits again and again, the good heart in my heart is far away from me step by step. At that time, although I said to myself again and again that it was wrong to do this, my actions betrayed me, and I walked step by step into the abyss of evil, just like the middle-aged man did to Wang Yang, and the purpose was only ...... Benefit!
However...... There is only one thing in the world that is most unpredictable, and that is the human heart!
……
(This old man is really nice!) A good heart! )
Wang Yang smiled, did not take the crystal nucleus that the old man gave him, but held his hand tightly with his hand, and said, "Take it, old man." Or this crystal nucleus...... It's just the cost of renting a car for me in the future, what do you think? ”
The old man was slightly stunned for a moment, and looked at the smiling young man in front of him in disbelief: "This ...... It's not good, you're still ......"
"That's it, besides, I only have this kind of low-grade cyan crystal nucleus on my body now, and there is really no white crystal nucleus. You just take it, I will come to rent a car often in the future, you just look at it, if it is not enough that day, you will tell me. Wang Yang looked at the old man with a sincere expression.
(Such an old man, I have to take good care of him no matter what)
"Okay......"
"Haha, thank you, old man~!"
"It's me who should say thank you, young man...... Still don't know your name? ”
"Wang Yang ......"
"Wang Yang, Wang Yang......" The old man kept reading Wang Yang's name.
"Wang Yang, then you must be extremely careful on the road, and you must pay attention to the jungle around the road. If you encounter a mutant beast, you can't be beaten, even if you lose your motorcycle, it doesn't matter, you must not lose your life! The old man handed over a brand-new motorcycle to Wang Yang, and kept chattering with Wang Yang, who was about to leave the city.
Wang Yang was not impatient at all, but looked at the old man with a smile on his face, listened carefully to his nagging, and couldn't help but think of the grandparents who had left him in his previous life.
Looking at the old man in front of me is like looking at a grandfather. Listening to his nagging is like listening to his grandfather's words to him, a voice that will never be heard......
At this time, Wang Yang only felt that the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and crystal tears slowly climbed up Wang Yang's eyes. Wang Yang got on the motorcycle and put on a helmet, but he didn't let the old man in front of him notice his tears.
After saying goodbye to him, he twisted the accelerator and the motorcycle sprang out of the city gate......
Soon disappeared from the old man's sight......
"Wang Yang, you must come back safely!" (PS: Exam for three consecutive weeks...... Review every day until vomiting blood, please forgive me, readers, it is expected that after the end of this test, there will be a month of crazy review IELTS preparation time, and after the IELTS has passed, it will be updated steadily every day from March~! )
