CHAPTER XXIV
After getting the pass, Li Shou came to the instructor Shaxi.
"Instructor, I got my pass today, and I can go out."
"Hahaha, good boy, I've long seen that you're different. You're sure to have a chance to get past three missions! How's it going, are you going to hunt beasts now? ”
"I want to learn about the Encyclopedia of Beasts first, and by the way, I have not seen what Sealed Mushroom City looks like! Is it okay for me to ask the instructor to help me hunt beasts tomorrow? ”
"That's fine, after all, it's your own business to choose what beast genes to choose, and it's normal to study and study." As he spoke, Shaxi took out a thick booklet from his clothes and handed it to Li Shou, "Encyclopedia, it's been prepared for you a long time ago." ”
"Thank you, instructor."
Li Shou took the booklet and looked through it on the spot.
This was the first time he had seen the Beast Encyclopedia.
After all, everything in his dreams is vague, he only remembers general things, and details like the content of books are always in the clouds.
The full name of the encyclopedia is "Encyclopedia of the Broad Categories of Genetic Fusion Beasts near Sealed Mushroom City".
A long name with thousands of beasts in it.
Most of the beasts are brushed off because they are not very powerful.
If there is a detailed text introduction, it is at least a good ability.
There are pictures and text introductions, that is, there are at least two good abilities.
"The radiant beasts farther away from Sealed Mushroom City should have different varieties, right?"
"Of course it's different!" Sha Xi said with a smile: "There are more species in the 'Mushroom Domain' alone than you earth species, and the Sealed Mushroom City is just a small place, there must be more and more powerful beasts in other places." ”
"That ......"
"Don't be greedy, you kid, although some monsters are powerful, their characteristics are not necessarily strong. According to you earthlings, elephants are definitely more powerful than ants, but ants may have stronger traits. ”
"And even if there are beasts with better qualities outside, first, you can't go that far, and we guards can't go too far, it's too dangerous outside. Second, how many abilities of those things have to be tested repeatedly, and if there are too many abilities, the probability of getting powerful abilities is not high. Instead of being ambitious, it is better to look directly on the encyclopedia. ”
"Thank you, instructor, for teaching." Li Shou sincerely thanked.
Indeed, Shaxi is very right.
Although there are many beasts in the outside world, he has no hunting skills, and his biological abilities are not clear and clear, so it is better to pick the ones that are readily available in the encyclopedia.
There are thousands of beasts horizontally and vertically, enough to choose from.
"When you go out, don't go too far from the edge of the city, there are too many wild beasts and it's dangerous."
"Got it, instructor! I'll go first. ”
"Hmm."
After saying goodbye to Shaxi, Li Shou walked through the group of students who were still training and came to the gate of the training ground under the envious eyes of his classmates.
The large iron gate was still closed, and a few guards stood beside it.
Seeing the guards, Li Shou hurriedly took out the pass.
"I was given three days to go out...... This is the card given by Captain Iwaizumi. ”
"Hmm......" a guard walked over to check the card, then waved his hand to let him go, "the door opens." ”
With the "click" sound of the iron door sliding, Li Shou finally left this environment that had been closed for a long time.
Walking out the door, it was as if the air outside was fresher.
Walking on the streets of Doom, Li Shou looked at the people and buildings outside.
Outside the training ground was a semi-commercial street, and unlike Earth, most of the shops around it sold some equipment and supplements, and among the pedestrians who came and went, some of their faces were somewhat deformed due to radiation, and some of them had normal faces.
The atmosphere of the whole city exudes a sense of "balance and chaos".
When Li Shou looked at the street, some pedestrians also looked.
Seeing that Li Shou came out of the training camp and was not wearing the clothes of a guard, several people were staring at him at the moment.
"Do you want a guide, you're a traverser, right?"
"Look at the dress should be a newcomer."
"Take you around Sealed Mushroom City?"
"Need help hunting animals?"
"......" Li Shou looked at the people gathered around him and did not reply.
"There's no money, right? We don't want money, we just want our lives. Several people saw that Li Shou didn't speak, and took the initiative to talk.
"Lao Chai, why are you talking so scary? Let me explain it to him. A short man with unclear facial features stepped forward and explained slowly.
"Newcomers, the so-called money, the currency of the mushroom city, is the mushroom body. You have learned that mushrooms have too many uses, they can replenish physical strength, enhance physical fitness, and there are many other wonderful uses for large ones. The mushroom is the currency, and it can be exchanged for everything. ”
"The so-called terrible! There is another currency that you travelers have, and that is lifespan. Your lifespan trading rights can be exchanged for mushrooms, and we people can also use them, and lifespan is also a sought-after commodity. ”
"But don't worry, Sealed Mushroom City is balanced by chaos and chaos, under the rules, no one can rob you of your lifespan, and mushrooms don't allow people to do this at will. Do we trade fairly? ”
"I don't need a guide, but I want your clothes, now I'll give three hours of life, change a coat and some mushroom coins, the highest price will get it!"
"Okay, fair and reasonable."
"It's balanced!"
After several people discussed the deal, Li Shou finally made a deal with the thin man.
During the transaction, the man took out a piece of black and swarthy special mushroom and put it on Li Shou's wrist, after Li Shou silently recited the word "agree" in his heart, the countdown of his lifespan quickly decreased by three hours, and the mushroom body squirmed and devoured this part of his lifespan.
Then the short man took out two or three pieces of fungus the size of a fingernail from his bosom and gave them to Li Shou, and then took off his coat and gave it to him, and the two sides completed the transaction.
After sending them away, Li Shou changed into the clothes of the locals.
Although this dress is not very useful, it can save him a lot of trouble.
After changing, he bought a steel spear from a nearby weapons shop, and used the remaining mushroom coins to hire a car and go to the edge of the city, the school cemetery.
The school cemetery area is far away.
It already belongs to the periphery of the city.
It took a long time for the vehicle to arrive.
As soon as the car arrived, Li Shou saw some radiation beasts wandering in the distance - as on the first day of his arrival, it was not safe here.
"Look at what, give money quickly!"
The driver patted the door of the modified pickup truck full of serrated teeth, urging Li Shou, who was still looking.
"Don't give you money, Lao Tzu saws you to death!"
"Less nonsense." Li Shou, who retracted his gaze, took out a small fungus and pinched some off and gave it to the other party.
After the other party received the money and drove Li Shou out of the car, he directly opened the flamespray on the side of the door, rotated one hundred and eighty degrees in place, and left with a roar.
Hesitation absorbed too many fragments that destroyed the world, and the vehicles and people in Sealed Mushroom City all revealed a kind of apocalyptic aura.
"It's finally here."
Seeing the vehicle walking away, Li Shou picked up his spear and walked into the school cemetery.
