Of course, the panda and the cold wind can't eat all the roasted whole camels—they are full after they have eaten the fish, the goose, and the sheep, and the camel doesn't move at all—and that's because the panda is a pot-bellied man, and his appetite is extraordinary, and if there is only cold wind, maybe he won't even be able to eat the goose.

After they were satisfied, the two wrapped the camel, and the cold wind did not swallow it alone, but shared it equally with the panda. It's a bit unreasonable to eat alone with a huge camel.

From the "Iron Wolf Hotel" located in the golden section of the golden city to the grocery store that has almost reached the edge of the city, it feels like walking from prosperity to desolation, and when you reach the grocery store, you can already see the yellow sand in the distance.

"You're poor enough. The panda looked at the yellow sand in the distance that was separated by trees such as sand dates, and couldn't help but sigh, "If the wind blows, will the house be full of sand?"

"Pretty much, just get used to it. Hanfeng said nonchalantly, "Anyway, for me, the grocery store is just a decoration, and the important thing is the research institute in the back." ”

"What have you been working on lately? I've heard people say that you're tired of prairie creatures and want to study aquatic products - why did you come to the desert?"

"There's a lot to study on this side of the desert as well. "Before the crossing, I lived in a coastal city and had never seen a desert in my life. So I'm going to live here for two years, enjoy the desert scenery, and study a few special monsters here. ”

"What special monster?"

"Sandworms and desert slimes, the former has the ability to turn dirt into sand, and I want to see if I can analyze it and adjust it so that it can turn wasteland into fertile soil relatively quickly, and the latter is the most drought-resistant of all slimes, and I want to see what kind of methods this colloidal creature uses to ensure that the water in the body is not lost. Speaking of his most important research project, Han Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, "A creature like a slime has many advantages, such as excellent blunt attack resistance, the ability to transform freely to a certain extent, and strong digestion...... But its shortcomings are also significant, fear of water and drought, the gelatinous body will dissolve after soaking in water for a long time, and it will become dehydrated if it is drought for too long, which is its fatal injury. ”

"Desert slimes have a strong ability to resist drought, and I hope to find out the key reasons for this ability through its research, and then introduce this ability into other slimes to create a more powerful and comprehensive slime. ”

The panda asked curiously, "What's the point of that? no matter how powerful a slime is, it's just a slime after all." Do you want to artificially create King Slime?"

"King Slime?" Coldwind smiled disdainfully, "It's just scrap wood with boss templates hanging on! What I'm going to create is a creature with full resistance, a free body, and a fairly intelligent one." In my plan, they will be used as external biological armor, as long as you get one of these slimes, even ordinary people can be transformed into brave warriors, enough to fight against elite soldiers. ”

The panda was taken aback, he didn't expect his goal to be so ambitious, and couldn't help but ask, "Then how far have you studied?"

“...... It's still early. Cold Wind smiled bitterly, "I've only made a little progress in the 'transformation' of the slime now, and the rest of the aspects are basically blank." Scientific research is a very difficult thing, and a little achievement requires a long time and a lot of manpower and material resources. The problem of money may be easy to handle, but the problem of time is beyond anyone's control. ”

"You're not going to find some helpers?"

Han Feng shook his head: "Ordinary people, I don't trust. Fellow Guild Members...... You also know that my research style is not very compatible with everyone. So I can only study it slowly, no way. ”

The panda sighed, the cold wind was reasonable, and he couldn't think of any solution.

While speaking, the cold wind had already opened the locked door, and the two were about to enter the door, but they saw a group of people coming not far away. The man at the head had a bear's back and a hideous scar on his face, which looked vicious. If you look at the fact that almost all of them are wearing weapons, you can see that they are definitely not good men and women.

"Boss Walter, you haven't paid the protection fee this month!" A fat man with a loud voice shouted in the distance, "You have the money to go to the Iron Wolf Hotel to eat, but you don't have the money to pay the protection fee, do you understand the rules of the rivers and lakes!"

The panda was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be a little amused - the traversers were all powerful, and the cold wind was not the weakest among them, if not the most powerful ones. But he didn't expect him to be mixed up to the point of being begged for protection money by a few gangsters at the bottom of the rivers and lakes.

Knowing today, I wonder if he will regret leaving the castle?

But the panda didn't notice that although Han Feng had a wry smile on his face, there was a cold cold light flashing in his eyes.

After a while, the group of people walked in front of them, and it was still the fat man with a loud voice who spoke: "Boss Walter, you have been opening this store for almost a month, and according to the rules, you will have to pay the protection fee after three days of opening, you have been in arrears for too long!"

"I am running a small business, and I haven't been able to make money for the time being, so please be sure to give me a few days. Hanfeng squeezed out some smiles and said in as polite a tone as possible. It's just that he was born with a cold face, no matter how much he smiled, he didn't smile, and he didn't look kind at all, but a little gloomy.

"Boss Vought, you're too unauthentic. Don't say that your shop is an adventurer's business, and it's lucrative. Even if you really don't make much profit...... You can go to the Iron Wolf Restaurant to eat, and you really can't afford to pay even a little protection fee for the big dish of roasted whole camels?" the fat man sneered and said, "A shop like yours, we only charge ten gold coins a month for a shop in the Sand Camel Gang, and if you pay it for a year at a time, one hundred gold coins is enough." If you eat a roasted whole camel, you can calculate how many years of protection money you can pay? I'm afraid that it will be no problem if your son grows up and takes over. ”

Cold Wind frowned and didn't say anything.

"What is the basis for you to collect protection money?" asked the panda, "You can't just draw a circle, you can collect as much as you want." ”

In the face of the panda, the fat man obviously did not dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "We collect protection money, mainly to rescue injured adventurers and sweep away road dust. The standards for our territory and protection fees were also approved by the 14 gangs and 26 chambers of commerce in the city after joint discussions, and of course it was not our empty words. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from his bosom, on which the sphere of influence of the Sand Camel Gang was written, as well as the protection fee fee standard and related social responsibilities. At the end of the parchment, it is the signature and seal of the "Federation of the Golden City", and the seal has a faint magical light on it, which is clearly genuine.

In this way, Panda was a little embarrassed, he never thought that this low-level gang, which seemed to be not worth mentioning, was still a formal "official organization", and the fees were actually according to the standard.

Hanfeng's ideals are so ambitious, but the reality is ...... He was so poor that he had to fight to deny even the protection fee of ten gold coins.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's really a penny to kill a hero!
