Chapter 9: Big Eater
If only I had money!
"Run, the big eater is coming."
She was still lamenting the lack of money when she suddenly heard someone shouting in front of her. The crowd scattered like birds and beasts upon hearing this and ran towards the door of the business hall.
Yu Mu didn't know why.
But she instinctively thought that something was wrong, and quickly followed the crowd out of the business hall. When she reached the door, she saw what the big food monster that people were talking about looked like.
This is a monster with black mist all over its body. Its specific appearance cannot be seen clearly. It is two or three meters tall and has horns on its head. From a distance, it looks like a big devil and is extremely scary. Anyone who is close to it accidentally touches the black mist on its body and immediately screams in pain, and quickly crawls away from it.
Yu Mu was horrified when he saw this.
I didn't dare stay in the store for too long, as I had already bought everything I needed. It was just that there were too many people, and the entrance to the store was very small, so I was stuck there and couldn't get out. I could only leave little by little.
And the big eater happened to be not far from the entrance.
Yu Mu took the opportunity to see the appearance of the giant monster clearly.
It has donkey ears, an ox nose, big eyes, iron arms, a bear waist, and legs as thick as an elephant. Its entire body is wrapped in black fog. The black fog is corrosive, and wherever it passes, there are corroded potholes. Even the road surface is not spared, and it is covered with smoking potholes.
"Can you kill it?"
Yu Mu heard someone ask from behind.
"No, it's hard to hurt it with ordinary weapons, and do you have the heart to hurt it?"
"If we can't bear it, then we can only let it wreak havoc here and no one will do anything about it?" the man said angrily.
"Then you take care of it!"
The companion responded unhappily.
"Where are the city guards? They're supposed to stop the giant gorillas from entering the city."
"They, haha."
Yu Muting was worried. Even the city guards couldn't control this monster. If he was killed by it, he would have no way to seek justice after his death.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was suddenly a noise over there. A young man took a huge sword and chopped at the giant monster. There was a loud sound like metal collision, and the black mist on the giant monster's body was cut into two pieces, revealing the true appearance inside.
The black mist was dispersed and splashed onto the crowd on both sides. People immediately screamed and ran away from the scene. The scene was in chaos for a while. At the same time, the giant monster seemed to have a metal body and was not damaged at all. Instead, it aroused its ferocity and picked up the stall next to it and smashed it at the man.
The man jumped back to avoid it.
"Don't attack the giant monster!"
"Notice!"
At this moment, a uniformed staff member at the business hall held a loud speaker and anxiously shouted at the man, "Please do not attack the giant monster. If you don't attack it, it will not attack you. If you provoke its ferocity, the consequences will be disastrous. Please stay away, please stay away, please stay away now!"
But the man acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued attacking.
His action also caused complaints from the crowd. Someone who was corrupted by the black energy from the giant monster shouted angrily: "If you want to attack it, can't you find a place with fewer people? Why attack it here and implicate us?"
Yu Mu was stunned.
At this time, the people in front of her had almost evacuated, so she took the opportunity to leave the business hall, but the battle was still going on when she left.
Yu Mu was puzzled.
What exactly is a giant food monster?
It looked like a human but not a human, and no one knew where it came from. The original owner didn't find such a monster in his memory.
Like the passive monsters in the game, they will not attack humans unless you provoke them.
As she was thinking this, she heard a pair of young women walking ahead of her discussing the glutton. The more portly of the two said, "This glutton has an astonishing appetite. I think it's going after the granary again this time. I don't know how much food it will steal. I heard it ate hundreds of kilograms of rice from the Wei family last time."
"Is this true?"
The thin woman exclaimed: "How much money must the Wei family have lost!"
"Haha, why do you care how much he lost? The Wei family is rich anyway, so they don't care about those few hundred kilograms of rice. They have thousands of miles of fertile farmland on Tianzi Star, and those few hundred kilograms of rice are nothing to them."
Tianzi Star: It is rich in resources, has vast fertile farmland, a lot of energy, high-quality metals, etc. It is a new planet discovered by mankind in the past hundred years. Now 50% of the people have immigrated to Tianzi Star, leaving only some poor people or specific people left on the mother planet.
Interstellar migration costs a huge amount of money.
A middle-class family would often need to spend all their property to immigrate from the maternal Sky Blue Star to the Sky Purple Star, so going there would mean starting over again, but more people would not be able to raise enough money to immigrate.
"Why don't you care?"
Yu Mu was thinking about it when he heard the fat woman in front of him say: "The grain from Tian Zixing cannot be transported here. You know how much effort it takes to produce hundreds of kilograms of rice in the mother's body. And even if his Wei family can
The shipping fee for Tian Zixing to ship rice is sky-high. No matter how you calculate it, the cost is huge. I think the Wei family still cares about it very much."
"Oh! I won't say anymore."
"Why should we, poor people like you, bother with the rich? We can't even afford natural food. I wish all the natural food in the Wei family was eaten by the gluttons!"
The two of them burst into laughter.
The implication of gloating is very obvious.
Yu Mu was filled with emotion after hearing this. In the past, rice was the most common food in her eyes. She even refused to eat rice at one point in order to lose weight. Whenever the cafeteria aunt gave her too much rice, she would throw it away.
Who would have thought that one day she would want to eat rice?
But luckily she has space!
As long as she works hard, she will be able to grow large areas of food again one day, which is also a kind of comfort.
Yu Mu had a good harvest today. Carrying the spoils, she returned to her residence and looked at the dilapidated house in the apartment. She couldn't help but frowned. In her opinion, the house was damp, dark and dilapidated, but in the eyes of others it was clean.
Whose eyes are at fault?
Because there were so many small animals, Yu Mu walked carefully along the way. Unexpectedly, he saw the little green snake again at the door of his house. It was entering Feng Li's room from the black hole. Was it going to steal Feng Li's nutrient solution?
Yu Mu stood in front of Fengli's door, holding something and waiting.
I'm going to wait for the little green snake to come out and take back the nutrient solution it took away. Feng Li is so kind, how can I let her lose money!
hiss!
After waiting for about five minutes, I saw the little green snake swimming out of the black hole with its tongue sticking out.
As expected, there was something wrapped around its tail, but it was not nutrient solution, but a cloth bag. The cloth bag was as big as a palm, off-white, and looked a bit heavy. The little green snake swam crookedly, and it was obvious that it was very difficult for it to swim with the cloth bag.
It seems that she can get it back.
"hey-hey."
Yu Mu jumped and easily snatched the cloth bag from the little green snake's tail.
The little green snake was angry.
It stood up, stuck out its tongue, and swam towards Yu Mu. When its vertical pupils stared at Yu Mu, all the hair on her body stood up nervously.
