Chapter 38 The news about the strange trash can going to the supermarket to buy condiments quickly spread.
The news about the garbage can monster going to the supermarket to buy seasonings spread quickly. This was the first time that humans and monsters lived in peace without the intervention of external forces.
The reason why the trash can weirdness doesn't count as a courier is because humans all know that if there were no salvation game on top of it, these trash can weirdnesses would definitely not be as harmless as they are now.
Of course, it cannot be said to be completely harmless.
Although the people of Xia are still very cautious about weirdness in recent days, there are always some people abroad who love to commit suicide or seek attention. After discovering that the weird trash cans will not actively attack humans, they can't help but start to commit suicide.
One way to commit suicide is to take advantage of the fact that the lid of the trash can is strangely open when receiving the goods, throw live poultry such as rabbits into the trash can, and then take pictures.
Seeing that the trash can just swallowed all of them without any other reaction, this suicidal behavior became more and more bold and exciting. Finally, on the last time, I don’t know if it was a mistake or what, I stretched out my hand a step too slow, and half of my palm was swallowed by the trash can.
No, it can't be considered swallowing, because soon, that half of the palm was thrown out of the trash can like garbage.
But this half of the palm was completely necrotic and could not be reattached.
Therefore, No. 1666's actions are particularly eye-catching. Most importantly, No. 1666 has also demonstrated that he can communicate peacefully with humans, which is very rare.
Therefore, even though this was just a small matter, the news was quickly delivered to Zhao Changyan, director of the Shuguang Bureau.
When Zhao Changyan first received the news, he was a little bit unbelieving, thinking it was a misunderstanding caused by the strange delivery of the trash can, but after carefully watching the whole incident, he was a little shocked.
If we remove the weird identity of the trash can, it would be just an ordinary shopping incident, but this is weird. Can weirdness be so peaceful?
Soon, Zhao Changyan came back to his senses from the shock and realized the possible benefits hidden in this matter.
If trash cans can communicate with each other and even buy products from humans, is it possible to do some transactions with them?
For example, like the old building ghost crisis, summon the trash can ghost, and then use roasted dried fish as bait to let the trash can ghost swallow the dangerous ghost.
Once this idea came up, he couldn't stop it. Zhao Changyan immediately found some experts who specialized in studying weird psychology, told them his guess, and asked them to think about how to make the trash can weird and useful to humans.
…
No. 1666 was unaware of the ideas he had brought to mankind. When he was about to send the seasonings back to the farm after buying them, he received another express delivery task and had to deliver it first.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, 1666 stopped working temporarily and opened the Yuegou app. He remembered that the grilled dried fish was on the shelves at this time.
1666 looked at the 300 Gui coins in his hand, hesitated for a while, and decided to recharge the app with 10 Gui coins first.
Not only because he didn't trust the Yuegou app and was worried that the other party would run away with the money, 1666 was still a little confused about how to deal with the money he spent less. Of course he could just keep the money, after all, if he went to Hongxing Supermarket to buy oil, salt and seasonings, the money would have been almost used up.
But it only cost him ten Gui coins to buy these seasonings on Blue Star. Shouldn't he make some money by running away?
Time passed by minute by minute, and the release date of the grilled dried fish was approaching. 1666 put the matter aside for the time being and clicked on it excitedly, ready to try online shopping for the first time in his life.
However, the word "Sold Out" was slapped right in his face.
“Ahhhhhhh, I didn’t get it.” A howl came from not far away, and 1666 almost thought it was himself who shouted it out.
"I don't have it either. Why is it so difficult? Didn't it take four or five seconds yesterday? Why is it so fast today?" Another voice sounded, also full of frustration.
"Isn't it possible that someone cheated? I didn't get it either." Painful Voice +1
"Well, I think I got it." A companion next to him said weakly.
"Did you get it?" The three of them looked at their companions in unison, their eyes burning.
"After paying, I should have gotten it." The companion thought for a while and said uncertainly. It was her first time to get it.
"Just check the order page to see if there is one."
The four people gathered together to look at their phones, and after confirming that the order had been successfully placed, they cheered loudly.
No. 1666 looked at the humans in the distance, feeling envy and jealousy, and a dark emotion rose from the bottom of his heart.
If he can't buy it, then he might as well rob humans.
But as soon as this thought came to mind, 1666 remembered the contract they had signed with the big monster, which stated that they could not actively harm humans. After all, if there was no contract, it would be very dangerous to let the garbage can monster come to Blue Planet.
If you violate the contract, one of the punishments, not to mention other punishments, is that you will never be able to go to Blue Star again.
1666 knew very well that Ying Yuanxing asked him to help run errands because he was currently busy. When he was free, he might go shopping on his own. So what was his advantage? It must be the lower prices on Blue Star. If he could not come to Blue Star, he would easily be replaced by other weirdos.
Thinking of this, 1666 calmed down all of a sudden, and there was less greed in his eyes when he looked at humans.
Although he was still envious, 1666 felt that it was just because he didn't understand this time. He would definitely be able to get it next time.
1666 strengthened his belief and was about to leave when he heard the human who had exclaimed just now speak again, and this time it seemed to be talking about grilled dried fish.
1666 subconsciously stopped and prepared to listen again.
Several girls talked one after another and let 1666 know that the Dawn Bureau had just released the detailed information of the grilled dried fish, which caused a sensation on the entire Internet.
…
During these few days, the Dawn Bureau spent several pieces of dried fish on research and finally figured out the specific effects of roasting dried fish.
Attracting weirdness is only one of the effects of roasted dried fish. It can also slightly improve physical health, or have therapeutic functions.
The reason why it is said to improve physical health is that most of the humans on Blue Star are in a sub-healthy state. They are not full of blood to begin with. After eating grilled dried fish, they look healthier after adding blood.
After the research results came out, the Dawn Bureau had a long discussion on whether or not to announce the news. After all, if they didn't announce the news, although they couldn't buy all of it, there would always be people rushing to buy the grilled dried fish, but they would still be able to buy most of it.
If this were to be announced, the country would most likely find it difficult to directly purchase Ying Yuanxing's products, and would have to purchase them from Volkswagen.
During the discussion, one sentence silenced all those who held opposing opinions.
"This dried fish is useful, but the country can buy more similar products, but the money in people's pockets means they can only choose this dried fish."
And in the final analysis, even if the country buys all the grilled dried fish, one hundred servings a day will not be a big help. But if ordinary people are allowed to buy them, even one hundred servings will be very few for the whole country, but it is still a hope.
Everyone is desperate now. Although these emotions are suppressed in their hearts, the strange things are happening more and more frequently, which is enough to prove that there is something wrong with people's emotions. We still have to find some hope.
After the discussion, the Dawn Bureau announced the news, and the reaction of the entire network was as they expected, with surprise and excitement. At the testing points in various places, it was found that Xia Guo’s positive emotional energy value had actually risen by one point.
Although it was just a sudden surge and slowly fell off after a while, it was enough to prove the uplifting effect of the news.
It’s no wonder that those who knew the news were excited and happy. The truth is that before the news was announced, it was basically impossible for ordinary people to buy strange objects and food that could be helpful to themselves.
Before the Yuegou app, there was no purchasing channel, let alone strange coins. But after the Yuegou app, when I saw the prices of those strange things and foods in the online store, I knew I couldn’t afford them.
Although if a big family pools together, you spend three or four hundred a month, I spend three or four hundred a month, and after several months we may be able to buy some strange items, but the effect is actually not that good. It is better to exchange it for Xia country currency.
Now the official exchange rate is 20 to 1, which is not a small amount of money. At least you can live comfortably before encountering something strange. As for encountering something strange, you can save yourself if you can. If you can't save yourself, wait for the rescue of the Dawn Bureau. If that doesn't work, you will die.
Even though they say they don't care, those who have survived the four years since the weirdness came still don't want to die, but there is no other way. Now there is a way, although the chances are slim, only one hundred a day, and you have to compete with people from all over the country, but it is still a chance after all.
When Zhang Cheng saw the message, he was stunned for a moment. He was also a viewer of Ying Yuanxing's live broadcast room and had been watching the live broadcast for quite a long time. So when Ying Yuanxing's grilled fish was put up for sale and he exchanged it for strange coins, Zhang Cheng bought it immediately. However, he couldn't bear to eat it at that time, so he kept it.
Zhang Cheng found the dried fish and looked at it with excitement. This roasted dried fish was not just dried fish, it was clearly a life.
Just seeing the other effect of grilled dried fish, Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, not knowing which one to choose. If he chose to improve physical health, he would have to eat it directly, but after eating it, it would not be able to be used as bait to help escape. If he could choose the latter, the former also made him tempted.
After much hesitation, Zhang Cheng finally decided to use dried fish as bait.
"Qiqi, take this dried fish with you when you go out. Don't forget it." Zhang Cheng handed the dried fish to Zhang Qi and reminded her, "Put it away carefully. Don't let anyone see it."
This kind of thing can save lives, and no one knows if anyone will be tempted to use it when the danger comes.
"Dad, what about you?" Although Zhang Qi is still young, in this apocalyptic era, most children are sensible.
After all, when you encounter something weird, the other party won’t care whether you are an adult or a child, and if you make a mistake you will die.
"Dad, grab the dried fish next time, and then we'll each have one." Although he said this, the situation was clear to him. He had only bought this good thing once before, and it was considered extremely lucky.
Now that the Dawn Bureau has released the news, those who can grab it at this time must be extremely lucky or have very good hand speeds. He doesn’t know when the next time will be.
However, Zhang Cheng felt that he had a stronger ability to save himself. Even if he encountered something strange, he might be able to escape without the dried fish. But Zhang Qi was a child, and having the grilled dried fish would give him more security.
Zhang Qi looked at her father with big eyes. Zhang Cheng felt embarrassed that his lie was seen through by his daughter. He coughed twice, picked up his phone and changed the subject, saying, "Qi Qi, let's see if there is any new news from the Shuguang Bureau."
However, there was some big news just now, and Zhang Cheng didn't think that the Shuguang Bureau would send out news again immediately. It was just a trick to divert his daughter's attention.
Zhang Qi blinked his eyes, but finally did not see through Zhang Cheng's trick, and looked at his cell phone.
Just the update of the charter actually brought out some news.
"How to extend the effect of dried fish bait?" Zhang Cheng looked at the title in confusion, but his hand clicked on it automatically.
This is a video. If it weren't for the title, Zhang Cheng would even think it was some kind of cooking video. The dried fish was ground into powder, then mixed with another kind of dried fish powder, and then added with another substance. It was processed using high temperature and high pressure, and then it became ten new dried fish with reduced size.
Although the method seems ordinary, the experimental video played later made Zhang Cheng take it seriously.
He only knew that dried fish could be used as bait to delay Guiyi's actions, but he didn't expect that ten grams of dried fish could delay for ten seconds. After this mixing process, ten grams of dried fish turned into small dried fish with fish bones, and their size increased, so Guiyi had to eat slower and more attentively, thus delaying the time to twenty-five seconds.
In other words, a dried fish can delay for four minutes, which is enough time for a person to hold on until the people from the Dawn Bureau come to rescue him.
Even if we use it sparingly and manage our time well, we can save two people.
However, this method made Zhang Cheng pull the progress bar back. The dried fish powder was easy to find, but he couldn't recognize the other thing, and his family didn't have the conditions for the high temperature and high pressure production method.
Seeing a barrage of comments sliding by, Zhang Cheng immediately scrolled to the end and saw the news released by the Dawn Bureau.
"Since the method of delaying the effect of roasted dried fish is relatively complicated, if the general public has a need, they can send the dried fish to the Shuguang Bureau branch. After inspection and confirmation, 10 grams of roasted dried fish can help make an advanced small dried fish, and the production cost is two yuan per piece."
In fact, the Dawn Bureau really doesn't lack the labor costs. Just researching the effects of dried fish has cost a lot of money. It's just that they can't start completely free of charge to avoid some trouble.
But as soon as the news was broadcast, some discordant remarks appeared in the barrage. Some believed that this was an investigation by the Shuguang Bureau, and maybe those who had dried fish would be forced to donate some money after going there.
Or maybe there is something fishy about the production process, and in fact more dried fish can be produced, but it was kept secret by the Dawn Bureau. People who have dried fish are best to make it at home, or make it themselves after figuring out the production method, so they won't lose out.
Some even said that they completely understood the operation of the Shuguang Bureau and that there was a problem with the formula ratio. If you use their factory to make it, one dried fish can produce twenty advanced small dried fish. The only difference is that the processing fee is a bit higher, at twenty yuan per piece. Although it is expensive, the output is greater.
Zhang Cheng looked at the comments and quickly clicked the report button. Many people did the same as him. The platform immediately detected the problem and blocked those comments that were randomly smearing and malicious, and also banned the following accounts.
After reporting, Zhang Cheng continued to read on, and sure enough, the Shuguang Bureau had also guessed the possible chaos.
"In addition, if you need to sell dried fish, please download the Shuyu app, an official certification platform. Each strange item must be authenticated by the Shuguang Bureau before it is sold to ensure its authenticity and effectiveness. Here is a stern warning: strange item transactions involve human lives. Do not try to get involved. If you do, you will die."
The trading platform behind this was also set up urgently by the Dawn Bureau. In the past, when exchanging strange objects, both parties generally had experience, so even if they were cheated, they would not lose their lives just because of a problem with an item.
But ordinary people don’t know so much. The Dawn Bureau is sure that once the dried fish becomes effective, many people will want to buy some, and there will be people who will take advantage of the situation.
Once the strange objects are used and something goes wrong, it basically means the loss of a life, or even more than one life, and the country must take responsibility.
What's more, with the existence of the Yuegou app, there will definitely be more transactions like this. It is better to control them strictly from the beginning than to make up for it later.
"Let's go to the Dawn Bureau and turn this dried fish into ten pieces." After watching the video, Zhang Cheng did not dare to delay for a moment. Who knows when he will encounter something strange? If he is delayed, the dried fish that could have blocked the strangeness for 250 seconds would only take 100 seconds. Just thinking about it makes him heartbroken.
Many people who bought dried fish made the same choice after watching the video. They believed in the country more than those comments of unknown origin.
…
The four people standing next to No. 1666 also watched the video released by the Dawn Bureau, and the other three were silent for a moment.
They bought grilled dried fish together, actually they just wanted to try what the dried fish in this strange world tasted like and what was different about the strange food. At that time they agreed that whoever bought it would share it, but now this dried fish has such an effect, what should they do.
Logically, they shouldn't ask for more, but considering the effect of dried fish, they couldn't help but care. But if they asked for it, it would also be bad for their companions...
"Come on, you guys go to my house, and then go to the Shuguang Bureau when the express arrives. We'll each get two and a half pieces then." said the girl who grabbed the dried fish.
The other three were shocked and felt a little guilty about their thoughts just now, but they couldn't say no. After all, a dried fish could be regarded as a life.
only……
"Let's have two each, and you can take the remaining four." They were already getting a good deal by taking two dried fish, so the extra one and a half would be most appropriate for each other.
At the same time, the three of them promised that if they grabbed some dried fish later, they would definitely give two to the girl.
The girl did not refuse their promise, and the four of them left together, without noticing that 1666 was looking at them thoughtfully.
After hearing the news released by the Dawn Bureau, 1666 no longer had any hope of successfully selling grilled dried fish. It was not that he was not confident in himself, but there were too many humans. With a hundred orders a day, he was not sure he could be faster than the others.
But after listening to the conversation between the four people, 1666 suddenly thought that if he wanted to eat grilled dried fish, it was not just about buying a channel. If he could become friends with Ying Yuanxing, just like Yuan Xiu or Xuan Ying, wouldn't he be able to eat for free?
That means you can eat much more than you buy.
Even if that doesn't work, he has a good relationship with Ying Yuanxing, so maybe he can use the back door to buy some dried fish.
1666 was thinking and looking at a restaurant next door. The boss looked helplessly at the regular customer who insisted on squeezing in. After letting him sit down, he squeezed out a little share for the other party. This is the treatment for acquaintances.
1666 suddenly felt that it was not bad to come to Blue Star. Although the humans were a little weak and some were even as fragile as blood bags that would break if poked lightly, they were still quite powerful in other areas.
1666 quickly arrived at the farm with a bunch of oil, salt and seasonings. Ying Yuanxing had gone to the fishing tackle shop to sell grass and was not at home.
And No. 1888 in...
"What are you doing?" 1666 asked in confusion, looking at the scraps of paper placed in the bucket by 1888.
"Brother!" 1888 was almost confused. He didn't want to study before, so he didn't think learning was difficult. But now that he is self-taught, he knows how difficult it is to study. The words don't recognize him, and he doesn't recognize the words.
"I'm not your eldest brother." 1666 frowned. The relationship among the trash can weird clan is different from that of other weird clans. They call those with smaller numbers than themselves "brother" and those with larger numbers "brother".
But big brother is still different, it is a kind of exclusive title, which means the relationship between the two parties is better than others, and generally speaking, there is only one big brother.
1888 was tortured by learning to read, and remembering that he had wanted to be Ying Yuanxing's pet before, he decided to hug 1666's thigh.
In his opinion, 1666 is still very smart, at least much smarter than the average trash can monster. The other party can read and is connected with Ying Yuanxing. If he doesn't recognize the other party as his big brother sooner or later, he will be overtaken by other monsters.
After all, although the trash can weird clan can only recognize one big brother, the big brother can recognize many younger brothers, and the fighting between the younger brothers is also very fierce.
"Brother, I really think we are a good match. You see, we both started from the same beginning. You have three sixes, and I have three eights. Isn't this fate..." 1888 was pestering him, while 1666 had to wait here for Ying Yuanxing to come, so he really couldn't avoid it.
In the end, he had no choice but to acknowledge 1888. After all, he had to acknowledge only one younger brother. By the way, while waiting for Ying Yuanxing to come, he also taught 1888 to recognize words. After all, since he had acknowledged a younger brother, this younger brother had to be able to do some work.
This is what 1888 is aiming for, and with 1666's teaching, he feels that studying has become a lot easier, and he feels more and more that it is not in vain that he has been recognized as the elder brother.
Seeing Ying Yuanxing coming back from afar, 1666 suddenly became nervous. He originally wanted to stay and meet Ying Yuanxing in person, but now he felt a little uneasy. What if Ying Yuanxing didn't have a good impression of him?
After hesitating for a while, 1666 just left the note, ghost coins and seasonings, and then hid.
Xuanying glanced at the place where 1666 was hiding, and saw that it was a strange trash can for receiving express deliveries, so he didn't look at it again.
When Ying Yuanxing saw the express box, he remembered that he had forgotten to rummage through the trash can today, so he hurried over to rummage through it. As soon as he opened the lid of the trash can, he found a lot of things piled inside.
Was it the seasoning he asked the courier to buy, and it was delivered so quickly?
Ying Yuanxing was a little surprised, but more delighted. After all, who doesn't like to run errands and get things delivered quickly?
Ying Yuanxing took out the oil, salt and seasonings, and saw the note and the remaining strange coins. He didn't think much about it at first, until he finished reading the note and looked at the remaining strange coins, he was stunned.
He remembered that he gave the courier 310 Gui coins, which left 290 Gui coins. According to the note, 10 were his errand fees, and 10 were for the seasonings.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the seasonings and fell into deep thought. Where else could the prices be so low that he could buy such a large amount of seasonings for only ten yuan?
He clearly remembered that the price level in this world was not low.
Even if we add two ten dollars together, it would still be twenty dollars...
Ying Yuanxing suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that these oils, salts and other things were robbed or stolen by the other party?
Every world has its own background color. In Ying Yuanxing's opinion, the background color of this world is gray and black. So it seems normal for the other party to choose to steal or rob after receiving his order.
So, what he was holding were stolen goods!
Ying Yuanxing's hand trembled, and he suddenly felt something extremely heavy in his hand. Although he understood the darkness of this world and had beaten the human traffickers severely and even tied them to a tree last time, when the human traffickers were gone the next day, Ying Yuanxing knew that he would most likely have to do something extraordinary.
But the fact that buying things turned into robbing and stealing was a little beyond Ying Yuanxing's expectations.
He felt that he should be a person who was both good and evil, punishing evil and promoting good, but now, he has been inexplicably downgraded.
However, when he thought that the government of this world did not care much, Ying Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief. Realizing what he was thinking, Ying Yuanxing sighed. He finally understood why this world was so gloomy. If the government did not care, the crime rate would rise rapidly.
Even an honest man like him has become bolder now.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the seasonings and put them back. Although he wanted to take advantage, he still had to maintain his bottom line.
Seeing Xuanying looking at him in confusion, Ying Yuanxing began to explain, and at the same time felt fortunate that he did this in front of Xuanying, otherwise Xuanying would learn bad things.
"But, the prices of these things are like this." Xuanying glanced at the oil, salt and seasonings. In his memory, the prices of these human products were very low. Because to the weird, these things were not very useful. Although they could taste good, there were similar products in the weird world.
It’s just that in recent years, no one has made similar products because the need for such weird things is becoming less and less.
"Is this the price?" Ying Yuanxing froze, put down the oil drum, turned on his phone, and found the price list of Hongxing Supermarket. "But I saw it before and it was clearly..."
"It's just very expensive here, and many people won't buy here." Xuanying shook his head when he saw the logo of Hongxing Supermarket and opened another small website for Ying Yuanxing. Some human products popped up on the website, some were fresh, and some were expired, and the prices were very low.
These things are basically items from the human world, and they accidentally came to the strange world through the cracks in the world barrier. No one in the strange world wants these, so more and more of them are stockpiled, and they cannot be sold at any low price.
Ying Yuanxing coughed twice awkwardly and carried the things into the kitchen silently. Xuanying stared at Ying Yuanxing's slightly hot cheeks and followed him unconsciously.
As for No. 1666, he was extremely grateful. If Xuanying had not told him, he would not have known about this. If he had embezzled the money and Ying Yuanxing knew about it, he would have missed the opportunity to make friends with Ying Yuanxing.
Now, No. 1666 was really grateful to humans. If he had not stayed in the human world for a while longer, earning two hundred strange coins would probably be his final result.
So, when he met a human looking for him later, 1666 didn't hesitate and went over.
