Chapter 25: Upheaval in Settlements (1)
Ye Feng believed that as long as Xiao Maruki's actual combat ability was raised, he would be able to reach the level of the so-called Holy Son and Holy Maiden in minutes. Because he found that since Xiao Maruko, after eating the Aoba Spirit Fruit, the recent cultivation has risen at a speed that is quite terrifying. However, it has only been a week, and she has already reached the peak of the first order. What kind of concept is this? In contrast, I don't know the genius list, but she has been in the past week, but other people's achievements in the past three years, if they are announced, I am afraid that my jaw will be shocked.
But for Xiao Maruki, the phenomenon of high scores and low energy, Ye Feng has sighed many times.
With her talent, Ye Feng estimated that it was only a matter of time before her strength caught up with her.
The only fly in the ointment is that this girl can't show two percent of her strength in actual combat.
What is this concept?
It means that although her level has reached the peak of a first-order awakener, the actual combat ability she shows can only be compared to a first-order primary awakener.
However, Ye Feng, who has always wanted to improve the strength of Xiao Maruko, after every teaching. When I wanted to scold, I saw her pitiful and stupid little girl, and I was dumbfounded, and I couldn't scold, so I had to sigh silently.
"But think about it, she's only nineteen years old, and it seems that she can still talk about it. Ye Feng comforted himself.
I had to take my time.
Now Ye Feng cares about a lot of things, in order to solve the food problem of the people who have been following him since the end of the world. Resources are scarce, and he already has his own business for this.
The benefits of end-time business are obvious.
Just like now, Ye Feng and Xiao Maruko are sitting in the truck, and if they have money in the last days, they can buy a lot of things.
This truck is now the asset of Ye Feng's driver, the army in the old days.
Dajun was an old acquaintance of Old Man Tian when he was working in a shopping mall before, and this pickup truck was favored by the civilian faction at that time, and it was about to be expropriated. The army is willing to do it, this car is his old days to transport goods back and forth, and the family eats and drinks all on it. Now the military wants to expropriate it without compensation, which is more painful than cutting his flesh.
Seeing this, the old man Tian used a bag of rice and 30 pieces of bread, so he took the truck off the military and asked the old driver, the army, to be the driver. The army itself is not very demanding, and it is not enough to get two meals a day for the only remaining family of three in the family.
Ye Feng's business is similar to that of a mercenary in the last days, but it is much freer than a mercenary.
The mercenary of the last days is a service industry that only exists after the end of the world.
The main business is to receive paid tasks given by private or official, the process is simple, understand the task, receive the task, complete the task, and hand over the task in detail, even if it is completed. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and it is often a seemingly simple process that contains great risks.
For example, Ye Feng was in the settlement, and in the official mission, he saw a second-order blood wolf crystal nucleus task, which was a sky-high task, but he was always shunned by the mercenaries in the settlement. Because it has only been about a week since the end of the world, unless there are cultivators or Immortal Gu people in the settlement who conceal their strength, otherwise, the official information on the powerhouses really does not see the information of the awakened people with second-order strength.
Seeing this task, and then looking at the high bonus, the task hall of the settlement at that time caused a miserable howl.
But in the end, I sighed and watched the excitement.
Blood wolves are a creature that is terrifying enough in the first order, let alone the second order. In addition, the blood wolf is a social animal, and if you want to hunt a blood wolf, you have to face at least a small wolf pack at the same time, which is still extremely lucky, and when the second-order blood wolf leaves the group, it is a treatment. Second-order blood wolves, plus a wolf pack, are enough to be prohibitive!
"Even if you are a second-order awakened person, you may not be able to defeat a second-order blood wolf alone, let alone face a pack of wolves at the same time?" someone shook his head and sighed.
Ye Feng's business is much better than that of mercenaries.
He has Tian Lao Man and Tian Tian, the granddaughter of Tian Lao Man who has been running a shopping mall with Tian Lao Man for many years.
Old man Tian is a business master who has been in the shopping mall for many years, when Ye Feng wanted to go to the sea to do business, the two of them were a good deal, and it was better to take tasks for others to work, it was better to be the boss himself, not to mention that the most important thing he lacked here was manpower.
So, Old Man Tian and his granddaughter, plus Tian Nan and Zhou Feng, these four people, in their own name, found a storefront not far from the place they rented in the settlement.
The idea is like this, since the group of them all took the Qingye Spirit Fruit, except for Zhou Feng, the physique of several other people has been greatly improved. From Ye Feng's point of view, these people, except for Zhou Feng, will inevitably become awakened in the future. What's more, they now have two quite powerful awakened people, Ye Feng and Xiao Maruko.
Ye Feng and Xiao Maruko often go out to hunt edible monsters with a few other people. Then put it in the store for sale, which is self-produced and self-sold, cutting out the middleman and making a profit. Whether it is for their own business or for the consumer experience, it has great advantages.
Just do it, a week after the end of the world, Ye Feng and his party started a business in the settlement.
However, this business is not easy to do, and the officials with bigger farts ask Tian's meat stall for meat to eat. It's purely the kind of thing that doesn't give money, this kind of thing, if you get too much, everyone is annoyed.
Now, Ye Feng and the others have encountered this incident.
"Lao Tian, how is the account book of our meat stall?" Ye Feng asked after carrying the mutant vultures and the sparrows, which had become nearly a hundred times larger, back to the butcher shop.
"It's hard to ...... the beginning"
"If you have something to say, you don't have to go around in circles. Ye Feng frowned, Old Man Tian is an old fritter in the shopping mall, and it is easy to make people dizzy.
"Alas, I heard that the temporary settlement where we are now is divided into two gears, one is the civil officials before the end of the world, and the other is the military attaché before the end of the world, one of them has money and resources, and the other has soldiers and horses......
The situation in the Nanzhou settlement is obvious to all.
First of all, the news obtained from the extranet of Nanzhou City from time to time is that Nanzhou City is one of the hardest-hit areas in China. It is unfortunate to be in the hardest-hit area, although the hardest-hit area has much more vitality than other safe areas, and can produce more supernatural beings. However, there are many supernatural people, but they are accompanied by a heinously high mortality rate, and this alone makes people in the hard-hit areas feel less than the slightest sense of superiority.
What's the use of having more Adepts? Isn't it the same precarious?
Moreover, the military and political affairs of Nanzhou are also extremely unoptimistic, because after the end of the world, it is very coincidental that most of the commanders of the military in Nanzhou did not escape from the disaster area; on the contrary, many bigwigs in the political circles escaped by luck. At present, most of the military in Nanzhou's military and political circles are young people who have taken up new posts. However, the civil officials are still the original old tycoons, young and old, and their political opinions seem to be born into an insurmountable moat, and Mao Dun followed.
What's more, there is no shortage of some of these officials who are taking advantage of the opportunity of the last days to plan how to make a fortune and stir up the storm.
"Now that the end of the world is coming, there are not many people who can do business, just a few, so as soon as they catch us, we ask for money, and if we don't have money, we want goods, and business is not good. "Tian Nan poured bitter water.
"This is the latest business document, and it requires us to pay the tax rate, and so on. ”
After Ye Feng finished reading the tax rate table, his face had sunk.
"It seems that it's better for us to participate in the Ability Brigade, if we continue to mix like this, sooner or later, it won't be enough for those grandchildren. Zhou Feng's words were very unconstructive, and he had recently become obsessed with the Strange Ability Brigade in the settlement.
Not only him, but also the ordinary people of the settlement, and the members of the Abnormal Ability Brigade are also praised as stars of the old era. Zhou Feng is also a pure star-chaser.
"Doing business in the last days, but also being exploited by those in power, it is expected......" Ye Feng muttered, things are more unreliable than imagined, opening a butcher shop by himself is a whim since the end of the world, first, you can have a little income, second, you won't go hungry, and third, you can refine the actual combat ability of Xiaomaru and others.
As a result, it backfired, and the current post-apocalyptic business was too difficult to do, and the output was far from being filled, and the taxes were forcibly levied by the military.
"How can it be so high?" Ye Feng sighed, producing five loaves of bread, and he had to give the top three as taxes.
"I heard that only our district has such a high tax rate, because we are just located, the middle area between civil officials and military generals, this is the civilian officials collect once, and then the army collects once, and the civil and military fight, we just happen to be caught in the middle. Old man Tian explained.
"It's a curse to the fish in the pond. Maruko sighed.
"Not only that, a few days ago, there was also a group of soldiers, in the name of the army, who had crossed the forcible expropriation, that was a forced robbery!" Tian Nan reported what he had learned.
"Join the army?" Zhou Feng suggested expectantly.
"What a blind idea, at present, everyone knows that in our temporary settlement in Nanzhou, the civil and military attaches are divided into two gears, and the people in both gears are accepting people, ready to fight to the death at any time, and now join the city guards, isn't that sending yourself to the muzzle?" Ye Feng rolled his eyes and scolded.
"So what should we do? We are weak ourselves, and we are bullied by one gear and come to another gear, which is not a business business. ”
"Well, I've already decided, starting tomorrow, we'll put up a sign and accept people!" Ye Feng touched his chin and said, as far as he knew, there are many forces in the settlement now, and after these people are united, if the military wants to move, first of all, they must weigh whether the opponent's fist is hard or not.
For example, a while ago, a certain military regiment exploited a powerful mercenary group in the last days too badly. Let the people in that area have no livelihood and no food, and they will be forcibly enslaved to open trenches and drive stakes.
As a result, the mercenary group in the last days raised its arms and entangled countless refugees. The two sides came to a big duel at midnight, and the result was that the regiment was killed half by the refugees led by the mercenary group who were not afraid of death, and countless were seriously injured, and the combat effectiveness of a regiment was abolished like that.
Although the mercenary group of the last days was finally wiped out.
But after this battle, there is now a lot of talk in the settlements, and the Tao says that a strong state apparatus is not omnipotent.
There is oppression, and there is resistance.
Therefore, the military does not dare to oppress the huge civilian organizations too much.
"Why are we taking people? We can't recruit any strangers. Zhou Feng questioned, as far as he knew, the conditions given by the military to recruit people with extraordinary abilities in the settlement were the best, and it was obviously impossible for them to give such conditions.
"There are a lot of people, there will always be a few with potential. ”
Ye Feng shrugged and said helplessly. He also knows that the military is now in the same situation, and now as long as there is a little strength in the city, he will be recruited into the military, and in terms of treatment, it can be compared to the military?
If you have money, you should be able to calm the field by levying more strong labor and matching it with some guns, which is also the general method of other forces.
However, Ye Feng had his own methods, and the cultivation of the blood clan stopped. But he developed one of the abilities of the Blood Clan, that is, the method of looking for qi. This is a blood clan, through the method of observing whether a person's blood is strong, you can see a person's cultivation potential and strength, this is one of Ye Feng's only hole cards.
