Chapter 175: Return to Heaven
After passing through the teleportation array that crossed the space, Hu Bin came to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
A large sign reading "Welcome to Paradise City" stood prominently across a building very close to the teleportation array, and Hu Bin found that the teleportation array area, which had been an open space, had been replaced by rows of houses of various styles. The neat streets are dotted with strange plants, adorned with fruits that look very strange and smell but are quite tempting, and the smell of fragrance invades the nose.
It seems that the space has gained well in the previous round of looting, and the originally chaotic space outside Paradise City has been expanded a lot, which has given the city more room for development and can accommodate more numberers.
But Hu Bin felt a faint sense of loneliness, the numberers who originally crowded the whole city were obviously much sparser, and the numberers wandering the streets also looked drunk and dreaming of death, and the paradise city that was originally intended for the numberers to relax was filled with a decadent atmosphere.
"Looks like something isn't right, and it looks like I'm going to need to get someone to ask about it." Hu Bin pinched his chin and walked towards the Angel Bar, and on the way he made an appointment with his old friend Howard.
Walking into the renovated gate, Hu Bin casually prepared to deal with the sudden temptation, but the expected temptation did not come, only a few drinkers glanced at him lazily and perfunctory.
Seeing that the bar, which was almost full, was now crowded, Hu Bin almost thought he had come to the wrong place. Hu Bin glanced at the bar and found that Howard's guy was indeed at the bar with his Xian Neizhu scissors on his back and came here to tease the barmaid. angrily pulled out Howard, who was about to be drunk, and Hu Bin ordered a cup of sobering soup for Howard.
"Uh, this decanting soup tastes so fucking bad!" Howard, who had regained his senses, gabbled and complained to Hu Bin, who saw a hint of darkness on his face.
"Why do you look like this, did you suffer a loss in the last world?" Hu Bin thought that Howard would immediately stand up and refute him, but he didn't expect that he was just silently sipping the super bad tasting decanting soup there.
"Last world!" After drinking all the sobering soup, Howard finally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not answer Hu Bin's question directly, but began to talk to himself: "There are about 5,000 of us who have entered a small intensity of the overhead world, where three countries are at war with each other. The level of warfare remains at the beginning of the Middle Ages, and it can be said that if the numberers are careful, they can be used in it. The main quest of the space also does not explicitly release the confrontational quest, and the difficulty of the main quest is not high, I was secretly happy for a while when I first entered this world, but then things developed beyond everyone's expectations! ”
"What's going on?" Hu Bin asked.
"Most of them died, only a few hundred numbered people, including me, completed the main quest and escaped, and that world has become purgatory." Howard seemed to think of some terrible scene, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
It was hard for Hu Bin to imagine what kind of scene could make a numbered person of Howard's strength level show such an expression, but this did not dispel Hu Bin's idea of continuing to ask.
"That world actually produces a very valuable mineral. Space gives high incentives for the acquisition of these minerals. Huge interests have driven the numberers of the three camps to rally to the source of the minerals. In the world of adversarial quests. There is also a reward for killing the numberers of the different factions, and while most numberers refrain from killing each other, conflicts are inevitable. The level of the conflict escalates with the casualties of the numbered ones, culminating in the ultimate war between the three nations. Almost all of the numberers were involved in the scuffle that decided the ownership of the mine. Howard opened his hands and looked straight at the lines on them. You know, at least a hundred numbered people died on these hands? Maybe one day, my sword will be pointed at someone I know well. ”
"Cut, don't pretend, hurry up and take out those ores and show me." Hu Bin said disapprehantly, while Howard asked with a dejected expression, "What are you talking about?" ”
"The devil believes that you will show a look of compassion for the lives of others, and I have seen through what kind of person you are from the previous world, right, Fanta." Hu Bin hit "Howard" on the head with a knife. And "Howard"'s face changed for a while, revealing his true face.
"Where the hell am I showing a flaw?" Fanta rubbed her head and asked unwillingly, while Hu Bin said with a look of disdain: "You actually used the illusion technique bestowed by the goddess of nature to deceive the goddess believers of a higher level, it seems that I overestimated your IQ." ”
"How come, I spent a lot of money to raise the level of believers to the level of ordinary believers in the last world, how can you receive more favor than me?" Fanta shouted exaggeratedly with a defeated expression.
"Guess for yourself. Say, that guy Howard ran over there, how could he let you come here and meet me. Hu Bin's face was calm, completely ignoring Fanta's hellish expression.
"That guy has tracheitis, and he probably doesn't have the time and energy to come to Heaven City these days." Fanta put away her exaggerated expression and said with a slight smile.
"Goddess Elune is above, may he come back alive from Queen Scissors." Hu Bin made a fake prayer, and then stared at Fanta's face and asked playfully, "How did you get in touch with Howard, I remember that guy didn't have a good relationship with you." ”
"It's very simple, the last time the two of us met in a small probability time, we were assigned to a mission world, compared to others, I at least know him, of course we did it together. Most of the words I said to you before are true, there are a lot of numbered people in that world, and there are small groups of gangs everywhere, and if you don't find a few suitable people to form an alliance, you won't know how to die when the time comes. That, this is the rare ore that was bought by Space in the last world, and Space didn't even give us the identification of ore in order to buy as many of these things as possible, but Howard and I didn't blindly sell them to Space, and this time I brought it to you to see what these things were. Fanta placed a translucent crystalline mineral on the table, and Hu Bin immediately showed the same hellish expression as Fanta before when he saw it.
"Smack!" Hu Bin slapped the mineral under his palm, then looked around and was relieved to find that no one had noticed his table. "You're still a believer in the goddess Elune, don't you feel the fluctuations of divine power in these ores?"
"Of course I know, many people have verified that there is indeed some divine power stored in these crystals. But the content is not high, and even the divine power supplement for those who do the number of the sacrificial profession is too cheap, so it is better to buy it for space. Fanta said disapprehantly.
"You don't have to act here, contact those sellers behind you, I'm willing to buy these ores at the price marked by the double space." Hu Bin saw through Fanta's careful thinking at a glance, and the people who made the last profit in the mission world couldn't see the value of these minerals, and they didn't want to sell them to the space like this.
"It's refreshing to do business with you, I'll contact those people to pick up the goods." Fanta couldn't help but show a hint of joy. If the numberer's transaction is done. You will also get a good pay.
"Reed. Tell me what these things are and how Space is willing to pay so much for them. While waiting for the seller to arrive, Fanta asked Hu Bin softly.
Hu Bin glanced at Fanta with a smile and said, "Equivalent exchange? ”
"What do you want to know?" Fanta also knew that this news was very valuable, looking at Hu Bin's nervous posture before. The value of these minerals may be greater than you anticipate.
Hu Bin didn't speak, but gestured to the empty seats in the bar hall.
"What's going on, they all died in the last round of missions. The last time the numberers entered the main quest world were mostly confrontational, and it is not unusual for our group of numberers who have just gained power to all die in cannibalism. A few days ago, there were more people in the bar, but these days I can't stand the comfortable days, and I went to the newly opened casino to find excitement. ”
Only then did Hu Bin remember that the space had carried out a large-scale transformation of Heaven City, and Su Jia had said before that he had been captured by his mother to help here, and he had planned to ask her about the situation here before coming. But after Hu Bin was busy with the initial space, he found that Su Jia didn't know where to go.
Fanta handed Mr. Hu a crumpled leaflet depicting a magnificent building with the word "gamble" blatantly painted on the sign. "Paradise City has opened several new functional buildings, and the casino is just one of them, and the others are open such as the Mercenary Quest Hall, the Workshop that can handle the business of forging and enchanting at the intermediate level, and the Career Promotion Consultation Center. In addition, the trading hall is also a lot more functional, and the placement of stalls in the city is also limited by geography, so you can finally say goodbye to those bastards who set up stalls and sell on the streets. Of course, the most popular ones are the casinos. ”
Hu Bin silently chewed on the deep meaning behind these messages, although he was not as well-informed as Fanta, a flamboyant guy, but he had mastered a lot of things that ordinary numberers could not touch. For example, this large-scale death of the numberer, Hu Bin does not believe that the space will discard these hard-earned numberers in the mission world to fend for themselves, it turns out that although the main mission released by the space is not simple, it has not forced the numberers to a dead end, if the numberers work hard to complete the task in peace, there is definitely a great chance to return safely. But Space underestimates the greed and aggressiveness of the numberers, and instead of dying under the difficulty of the mission world, a large number of numberers die in endless cannibalism. Space's hasty plundering of resources has also exacerbated the seriousness of the matter, and it is estimated that even Space did not expect that the loss of the numberer would be so much this time, and perhaps it is now struggling to calculate the gains and losses here.
In fact, the space has activated the emergency mechanism, and some mission worlds with serious losses to the numberers have finally taken measures to release the water from the main mission, just like the human faction numberers in the Lord of the Rings world who have not accumulated enough contributions, and most of them have returned to space safely in the end. However, such measures still failed to recover the large losses of the numberers, and two-thirds of the numberers fell in the previous round of the battlefield, which directly led to the current situation of the number of numberers.
Looking at the three-month vacation in the space prompt, Hu Bin knew that the loss caused by the decision-making mistake of the space was a bit nerve-wracking, but on the other hand, this mistake of the space also cultivated a group of self-numberers who were quite reliable. The numbered person who stood out in these confrontational tasks and survived to the end, the one who did not have the blood of his own kind on his hands, and the final harvest is believed to be not too low. In this case, the overall strength of the numberer may not only not decrease, but rather increase a lot.
"The space is about to undergo a second recruitment, and I've seen a lot of chicks on the street who have just experienced the novice world. It may not only be to compensate for the loss of personnel, but also to expand the number of numberers, and perhaps in the future, six-digit numberers will become veterans. Seeing that Hu Bin didn't react, Fanta reluctantly said the second news.
"Expected." Hu Bin said that he had long expected that the space would replenish its strength in the future, and it was possible that they would take a long vacation to concentrate on cultivating a group of novice numberers.
"Hey, I've got the news I know, Reed, you should tell me too." Fanta said a little impatiently.
"You'll know when the deal is done." Hu Bin sold a pass here.
Fanta was hooked by Hu Bin, and she could only hope that the sellers of those ores could complete the transaction quickly. The ones who were still numbering didn't keep the two of them waiting too long. Maybe it's a rush to make a move or something else. Fanta soon received a communication from one of the sellers. Later, I saw the group at the door.
"This is Mongo, our partner in the last world, this guy has amazing strength attributes, and can overturn the charging knight with one blow. The strength is quite reliable. This is the buyer I contacted, Reed, don't look like he's unsurprising, he's actually a big tyrant. The group of people who came was headed by a strong man who was two meters tall, and Hu Bin always felt that he had seen it there, while the others faintly took this strong man as the leader.
Hearing Fanta's introduction, Meng Ge just smiled faintly, then stretched out a hand and said, "As soon as I heard that the seller's name was Reed, I rushed over directly." Everyone knows that this batch of ore is worth a lot of money, and if anyone else says they will eat it in one go. I'm going to punch him twice, but I can trust your Reed's name. I'm not going to beat around the bush, there's half a ton of this mineral added up here, and if you can trade the ogre's stick, I can take out half of the ore and put it on the account. The remaining half of the space will be available for purchase. ”
The corner of Hu Bin's eyes jumped when he heard the "ogre's stick", and he didn't hold Mongo's outstretched hand. After seeing it, Meng Ge retracted his hand and touched his nose and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be surprised, I am Ta Dun's own brother, and thank you for taking care of him in the last mission world." He would have followed him this time, but this guy was inexplicably taken away by a girl on the side of the road, and his family was unfortunate, please Haihan. ”
Hu Bin's cold face flashed in his mind, and he smiled dumbly, no wonder Meng Ge looked familiar, it seems that the big body of the tower shield is a family heirloom, I hope his character of dying is not a family heirloom. He noticed that when Meng Ge made a request, the few numberers behind him didn't even react, thinking that they had discussed it before, but this also saved Hu Bin a lot of words. The conditions proposed by Meng Ge were very reasonable in Hu Bin's opinion, they did not know the use of ores, but they did not try to live in vain, but exchanged these things for real strength, it seems that this big man has a shrewdness and reason that does not match his body.
"No problem, did you bring the goods?" Even if there is no relationship between the tower and the shield, Hu Bin will accept this condition, that Meng Ge is obviously a power-type numberer, and the ogre's big stick is simply a violent weapon that this type of numberer dreams of.
"Of course, it's just here to trade, one hand for money and one for the goods, but how does this feel like drug traffickers are connecting." Mongo scratched his head, then pulled out a storage card. It is very difficult to carry large quantities of items, so numberers are generally willing to store the items in the exchange's warehouse and then use the deposit card to trade with others.
Hu Bin took the ogre's big stick out of the ring, the hideous appearance of the rare weapon made Menggo's heart burn, and then the large bag of gold coins that Hu Bin casually took out made the other numbered people behind him breathe harder.
"It is worthy of being a person who is full of praise from Ta Dun, it is really refreshing, and he can eat all the ore in one go, I hope that I will have the opportunity to cooperate with you next time." After seeing the properties of the weapon, Mungo was satisfied with the people and left, apparently to find a place to divide the spoils.
Here, Hu Bin unhurriedly received the deposit card into the ring, and then saw Fanta looking at him with a surprised face.
"Who else you don't know?" Fanta had a defeated expression on his face, except for a few introductory words in the opening of the transaction, he didn't interject again, and only reacted after seeing that the transaction was completed in three by five by two, and Mongo hadn't given him his share of the remuneration yet. However, Fanta is not in a hurry to ask for the honorarium at this time, and Reed owes him an explanation.
