Chapter 167: Parting Ways
Kony looked at the background of the supernatural merchant's departure for a long time, and tears fell silently, wetting a small piece of his shirt on his chest.
Shu Yungui watched silently for a while, he had to admit that not being able to buy what he wanted was really uncomfortable for children, but accepting the unattainability of manpower is also part of growing up.
What's more, he is already sixteen years old, Cheng Sikong and Fang Yu have already been specially recruited into the army at the age of sixteen, and tears are the last thing that should appear for a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Since you don't have enough to get ready to exchange for a pass, then go back and come out when you're ready, as I said."
Shu Yungui put on his backpack and waved at him: "I have sent you to the Divine Power Merchant as agreed, and now that our agreement has been terminated, I am going to do my own thing, so I will see you again."
Leaving Kony, Shu Yungui began to explore this place alone, he had seen the appearance of the inner city roughly when he was in mid-air, there was an arc-shaped city wall on the periphery, the height could not be determined, but since it was used to distinguish classes, it would definitely not be low.
He used a tactical dagger to cut through the cobweb-like parasitic plants, and walked knee-deep and shallow in the bushes.
The blue light flashed on his fingertips, and he couldn't even use the most basic first-order mutation ability "Coordinate Rewriting", Shu Yungui could feel that the mutation energy in his body was empty, which made him nervous.
He couldn't be sure of the reason for the disappearance of the mutation ability, probably because the mutation ability came from the queen worm core, he and Lin Ai existed at the same time on Wright, the queen worm core was intact, and now that he was alone and 77 billion light-years away from the Hope star field, the worm core in Lin Ai's body could no longer resonate with him.
The disappearance of his mutant ability is still a trivial matter, after all, this is a feudal country with backward technology, even if he does not use his mutant ability, he can survive, but the important thing is that after he leaves, will the total mutant of the Hope Star Field suffer the same impact as himself.
If the loss of half of his worm core caused the collective ability of the deviants in the Hope Star Field to disappear, wouldn't Cheng Sikong be able to come over in this life?
Thinking of this, Cheng Sikong's footsteps froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but think about the possibility of developing technology to build a spaceship on this planet, and then travel 77 billion light years back to Lite, and suddenly felt that he might need to cultivate an immortal body before he could see that day.
It's really difficult to go out and do things outside, I knew that this was the case, and I really should have let Cheng Sikong come over.
Shu Yungui grabbed his hair, and after thinking about it, forget it, his noble son arrived in this place where there was not even a smart bathroom device, and he was afraid that he would die suddenly of cleanliness.
He tossed the severed vine aside and walked in the direction he remembered, only to feel the back of his coat swing as he bent over.
He thought it was hooked to a branch, and subconsciously backhanded it, but he didn't expect to grab an arm.
Shu Yungui suddenly turned around and saw Kony crouching behind the bushes, reaching out to steal his gun.
It is worthy that all cultural classes are used to practice martial arts, this kid's stealth ability is really good, and he almost succeeded him.
"Didn't you break your leg? Isn't it neat when tracking? Do you dare to steal something, do you want me to break your arm?"
Kony's face turned pale with fright, and he could see that it was the first time he had done such a thing, and he was ashamed and afraid, but he stubbornly said, "I'll redeem it for you!" When I'm done and go back to the inner city, I'll give you lots of valuable things!"
Shu Yungui grabbed his arm and said condescendingly, "It's a pity, I'm not rare with those things of yours."
"Please, I really need an Outtown Pass."
Kony pleaded, "I know you're a good man, so you can help me!"
Shu Yungui was unmoved: "Then you can look away, I am very bad, and I never pity children."
He let go of his hand and said, "Go back, the gun is impossible for you, this is a gift from a very important person, even if I am penniless, it is impossible to sell this gun, not to mention that we just met in the water, and now, immediately, and about to part ways."
Kony
Rubbing his wrists and sitting on the ground, seeing that Shu Yungui was leaving, he immediately pounced, hugged his legs tightly, and shouted, "Aren't you going to the inner city? I'll take you! I'll show you to the king!"
The conditions were right, Shu Yungui took half a step back, bent down and asked, "Really?"
"Really! Really!"
Kony swore an oath, "As long as you help me get the pass to the outer city, I will take you into the inner city when I come back from my errands, I swear, I swear to the gods!" If you break your oath, let me ...... Just let me ...... Let me die in the flames of war!"
"Alright, well, children, don't swear poison at every turn."
Shu Yungui helped him up, touched the pistol on his tactical belt and said, "I can help you get a pass, but this gun must not be sold."
Kony asked with a sad face, "Do you have anything else you can sell to the Avatar?"
"Why do you have to sell your own things?"
Shu Yungui taught Kony: "Sometimes the white wolf with empty gloves is also a strategic method."
Kony didn't understand and asked him, "What is a white wolf with empty gloves?" You're not going to rob it, are you? I told you that the Avatar Merchant is not alone, they are organized, and you should be careful that you will not survive on the Ninth Star in the future."
Shu Yungui thought to himself that I didn't plan to live long in the ninth star, besides, no matter how powerful the supernatural merchant is, can he still be as powerful as the interstellar poachers with countless warship mechas?
"What robbery? Don't you even take language classes? Why are the words so loose?"
Shu Yungui showed a harmless smile and said, "This is called outwitting."
He followed Kony back along the road, and the Avatar Merchant was uncertain, and for a short time he didn't know where he had gone, so they could only follow the trail by the stream.
"You are a half-old child, you have to go to the outer city to do something, didn't the supernatural merchant say, the people in the outer city live in dire straits, far less comfortable than the inner city."
Kony stopped talking several times, and finally let down his guard for Shu Yungui's sake of helping him get a pass, and said, "Actually, I'm not going to the outer city, but to the wilderness."
"Wildland?"
Shu Yungui wondered in his heart, isn't that the place where the Ninth Star is used to exile prisoners? Kony was so scared when he heard that he was going to send him to the wilderness, why did he take the initiative to go there?
"What's in the field? You, a nobleman in the inner city, run to the wilderness, can you survive?"
Kony clenched the hilt of his sword, obviously scared, but he still said firmly, "My family has fallen into a very important thing in the field, and I must get it back."
"But the fields are full of exiled prisoners, they dig and turn over the ground every day, I'm afraid your family's things have already been turned out by them, right?"
"No, it won't!" Kony said seriously, "No! The wilderness is huge, and there are many places that no one has set foot in."
It sounds like Borderlands Taks, where humans only live in a tiny part of the area, and the rest of the area is no man's land.
"Since no one has set foot in it, how can your family leave something important there?"
Shu Yungui stopped and looked at Kony: "So, what kind of place is the 'wild land'? I hope that our future cooperation will be based on good mutual trust, so please don't hide it and tell me the truth, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
Kony pursed his lips, lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, and said after a while: "'Wild Land' is a synonym for no man's land, but no man's land has always been uninhabited, only more than twenty years ago, the ninth star was still a beautiful and rich land with a large population."
"At that time, there were towns everywhere, people raised livestock, grew food and vegetables, there were factories and schools, there were even high-speed trains on the road, and of course, there were no inner and outer cities, no matter what the class, everyone lived under the same sky, and life was very happy and harmonious."
"But suddenly one day, everything started to go bad, and there was a creature called the orcs in the town, and they attacked the people, and they were so ferocious that the people retreated and retreated in order to avoid the attack, until the outer city and the inner city were established, and the orcs were isolated from the outside.
Call that outside a "wild place."
As soon as he heard the word "orc", Shu Yungui suddenly became vigilant, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, the malignant transformation was caused by the human-insect gene fusion experiment, which caused the human body to carry the Zerg gene.
Ninth Star technology is not developed, and biomedical technology may not have been systematically developed, and it is impossible to conduct large-scale gene fusion experiments, let alone malignant transformation.
But what kind of creatures are orcs? Could it be that the ninth-star distress signal they received was sent because of the orc attack?
It seems that if you want to find out what happened to the Ninth Star, you may have to go to the outer city and the wilderness.
Fortunately, he had enough time to do these things, Shu Yungui was thinking about the plan of action in his heart, and Kony had already discovered the whereabouts of the supernatural merchant.
When they met again, the attitude of the Avatar was still very good, and he kissed Kony again, and asked with a smile, "So what valuable things did the two friends bring this time?"
Without waiting for Kony to speak, Shu Yungui stepped forward and said, "Two passes, I'll help you go to the outer city to get what you want."
He stared into the other's eyes and emphasized, "Anything."
The Divine Merchant was the most shrewd and calculating person on the Ninth Star, and he looked Shu Yungui up and down and asked, "Are you sure it's anything?"
Facing the questioning eyes, Shu Yungui remained motionless, and said firmly: "As long as it can be found in the outer city, anything."
The Avatar grinned, "Deal."
He took out a transparent bottle made of crystals and handed it to Shu Yungui, telling him, "My friend, there is a Colosseum in the outer city, and the orcs inside are extremely strong, I need you to get a bottle of orc blood for me, and I will sell it to the nobles in the inner city to make medicine."
"Orc's blood as medicine?"
Shu Yungui asked, "Can this have medicinal value?"
The Avatar shook his head, "It doesn't matter if it's valuable or not, as long as the people who are willing to pay for it say it's valuable."
"Okay, I'll retrieve the orc blood as you requested, where will it be handed over then?"
"In thirty days I will enter the outer city, and I will meet at the gates of the city when the time comes."
The Avatar Merchant beckoned to them, "Now, let me bring my two friends into the inner city."
Shu Yungui didn't move, hugged his arms and asked, "Aren't you giving a pass?"
The Avatar merchant squinted his eyes and smiled, "The pass is too expensive, and a vial of orc blood is far from enough."
Seeing that Shu Yungui was about to get angry, he hurriedly said, "But I have other ways to take you in, just follow me, we supernatural merchants never deceive people."
Shu Yungui and Kony glanced at each other, and followed far behind the supernatural merchant.
"Orcs are dangerous, you shouldn't have agreed to his request."
Shu Yungui shrugged and said, "Isn't this to help you enter the outer city?"
"But aren't you going to the inner city? Why did you come with me to the outer city?"
"Just wait for me in the forbidden place, and I'll find a way to get orc blood for him."
Shu Yungui glanced him up and down, thinking that you might not be enough for orcs to stuff their teeth, but he decided not to say so, so as not to hurt the exuberant self-esteem of adolescent boys.
So he said shyly: "I'm afraid that you will run away, from now on, your every move must be carried out under my surveillance, otherwise let your kid slip away, wouldn't I lose my wife and lose my soldiers."
Kony scratched his head stupidly and asked, "Lost Madame?" Are you married?"
Shu Yungui rolled his eyes, yes, the word culture is completely inapplicable in the ninth star.
