Chapter 39 A conversation that only a few people in the Dawn Bureau knew about began. After discovering 1...
A conversation that only a very few people in the Dawn Bureau knew about began.
After discovering that No. 1666 could communicate, the Dawn Bureau thought about connecting with the other party online and having a chat.
After all, in the past, the weirdo could not communicate, and they could only fight head-on. But now that the other party can communicate, maybe they can coexist peacefully. As long as the weirdo does not eat people, there is still room for negotiation.
Of course, this is the best possibility, but no matter how bad it is, it's just one try. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you can find the next weird person suitable for conversation.
As soon as the conversation began, the information revealed by No. 1666 silenced the top management of the Dawn Bureau.
In the past, they only knew that the weirdos would eat people, and eating people would make them stronger, but they didn't expect that if the weirdos didn't eat people they would slowly starve to death. They ate people not only for evil, but also for survival.
They could see that No. 1666 was telling the truth, but it was the truth that made them feel even more depressed.
"Mr. 1666, do you also eat people?" The assistant at the side looked at the leader's expression and asked tentatively.
No. 1666 could sense that everyone present had their heartbeats quickened for a moment after hearing this question. It was obvious that this question was very important.
1666 could also lie, but he disdains to lie. Of course, he also doesn't want to lie because of the portion of fodder that the Dawn Bureau gave him.
"I won't eat humans for the time being." 1666 said. This temporarily made everyone present look ugly for a moment. After all, the strange number of trash cans was the largest among all the strange things humans had ever seen.
Although I’m not sure whether every trash can is as powerful as No. 1666, there are too many of them, which is very troublesome.
The staff of the Dawn Bureau simply couldn't bear to think about how terrible the scene would be if these garbage can monsters appeared on Blue Star without the suppression of the salvation game.
"Why... don't you eat humans for the time being?" Although the assistant was very averse to this matter, he still asked it again. After all, this reason was too important to them.
"I can survive by devouring garbage. As long as there is enough garbage, I won't starve to death." 1666 said calmly, even with a hint of pride in his tone.
Although swallowing garbage seems ugly, not all monsters have this ability. They want to eat it but can't. After all, there is very little weird energy in the garbage and a lot of impurities. If the garbage bin monsters were not powerful, they would have been poisoned by the impurities long ago.
It can be said that in the entire weird world, among the bottom-level weirdness, the trash can weirdness is the one that can last the longest.
Of course, when they can no longer hold on, Blue Star will also be in danger, at least it will not be as peaceful as it is now.
Yes, although he had only been to Blue Planet a few times, and humans were also talking about the turmoil and chaos caused by the weirdness, but in 1666's opinion, the human world was still quite peaceful. At least there would be someone to take care of it if something happened. But it was different in the weird world.
Everyone present understood the subtext of 1666. Thinking about the strange number of trash cans, they were even glad that the trash cans had this ability, otherwise the current situation would only be worse.
Just thinking about the fact that Guiyi has to rely on eating humans to survive, even if he doesn't eat now, he will have to eat later, makes everyone present feel particularly heavy.
Although from a weird perspective, it seems understandable that they eat humans in order to survive, but they are human beings, and naturally they are unwilling to become each other's food, so there will inevitably be a fight between the two sides.
No, this may not be a battle, but a war between two worlds.
Everyone present inexplicably came to a realization that there were only two possible outcomes. One was that humans would be defeated and might be raised as livestock by the monsters, since monsters also needed food. The other was that humans would drive the monsters back to the weird world, or even kill enough monsters so that they no longer had to eat humans and could survive in the weird world.
There is no other choice.
Since it was a war, they needed to know more information, and the conversation continued.
The people from the Dawn Bureau also learned that the monsters that are coming now are still the weaker ones. Because of their weak strength, they are more able to pass through the gap between the two worlds. The powerful monsters cannot come through for the time being.
This news made everyone present feel complicated. Although there had been speculations a long time ago, speculation and actual confirmation are different. Who knows when the gap will widen again?
You have to know that the Dawn Bureau has already exhausted all its efforts to maintain the current relatively safe situation. If some powerful and strange things happen again, the thought of that scene will make everyone present feel even more calm.
After talking for a while, No. 1666 received a new express delivery requirement and had to leave.
Since they had almost understood everything, the people from the Shuguang Bureau did not try to persuade him to stay, but just gave him two more packages of grilled dried fish, No. 1666. Although this was not a lot of grilled dried fish, it was squeezed out of the Shuguang Bureau's stock.
After all, people from all over the country are competing for 100 packages of grilled dried fish. Sometimes the Dawn Bureau can grab a package in a day, which is considered because they have fast hands and good luck.
"You don't have to worry too much. Humans can also become weird. Things are not that bad." No. 1666 remembered some things he knew before and told the people from the Dawn Bureau directly for the sake of the roasted dried fish.
In his opinion, humans may just be afraid of death, and if they knew this news, they might feel better.
When the people present heard the news, their faces changed again. This news was almost as important as the previous two pieces of news, but before they could speak, No. 1666 had disappeared.
"Chief, this..." The person who spoke was a little moved.
I used to think it was weird and I couldn't communicate, but now after communicating with 1666, I feel that he also has his own thoughts. If it is like this after becoming weird, then it doesn't seem to be much different from being alive, and it can even be said to be better. It's just that the problem of eating is not easy to solve.
"Not to mention whether what he said is true or not, even if it is true, can everyone become weird? Or only a few people can do it?" Zhao Changyan looked at the others coldly.
If only a few people become weird, will these people really act according to their will as humans instead of falling?
Zhao Changyan didn't know whether other people had noticed that the way No. 1666 thought was actually very similar to that of humans. He didn't know if he was transformed from humans, but he no longer considered himself a human being. Although he hadn't eaten humans yet, he wasn't very averse to it. This situation was very scary.
"The current situation is clear. There is no shortcut. If we want to defeat the weirdness, we can only fight it head-on." Zhao Changyan said in a deep voice.
The others fell silent. They knew the truth, but in just one hour, they had learned too much information and the pressure in their hearts was increasing, so they came up with some other ideas.
But after calming down, I realized that this method was unreliable. Besides, even if omnipotent could turn into a weirdo, the weirdo itself would starve to death. Some weirdos in the weird world eat other weirdos, while the weaker ones have to wait until Blue Star comes to eat people.
After they become monsters, if no one eats them, they can only eat other monsters.
The final result may be worse than their struggle, because humans can survive and reproduce, but the expansion of the species seems to be more troublesome than humans, and may even die out faster.
What's more, they still have the salvation game, so the situation may not be that bad.
After sending the others away, the assistant followed behind Zhao Changyan and couldn't help asking, "Director, is there really no solution to the situation between humans and this weird situation?"
Zhao Changyan was silent for a moment. He also knew his assistant's confusion. Although humans had the courage and determination to face the weirdness, based on some information they had learned, the probability of humans winning the confrontation with the weirdness was not high.
"I don't know either. We can only try our best to do what we should do." Zhao Changyan feels that if humans and monsters want to find a third way, they have to find a way to prevent monsters from eating humans to survive. This may be the top priority of future research.
Not many people knew about this conversation. After the upper echelons of the Xia State learned the news, they kept the information within a very small circle and did not inform anyone else.
After all, the pressure brought by this conversation was too great. They felt a little breathless after knowing it, let alone ordinary people.
Besides, the current situation doesn't seem that bad. Dropping such a bomb directly will only mess up the current relatively good situation. It is better to keep it secret.
…
Ying Yuanxing's live broadcast room has been unusually busy recently, and the reason is the news released by the Shuguang Bureau about grilled dried fish.
When the Yuegou app came out, some people abroad were unhappy when they saw that the first online store was registered by a player from Xiaguo. So when they saw Ying Yuanxing selling forage grass and dried fish, they said that Ying Yuanxing was selling all kinds of things, wasting the express delivery resources provided by the Savior game.
But the criticism had only lasted for a few days. As soon as the news from the Dawn Bureau was released, some people abroad continued to criticize it, but they did not stop placing orders.
After all, strange food is rare, and they may not be able to buy the same products as their own players even if they save up enough money for several months. Moreover, it is hard to say how effective the products are. After all, their country has not tested them, so who knows whether the strange things they put up are useful.
This is not just their random guess, but a real case.
There was a contestant who seemed to be ready to give up everything on Blue Star, so he put up a lot of strange things and food at relatively low prices, so many people were tempted.
Although some people wondered how this contestant, who looked nothing special, could get so many weird things, the price was so low and the excuse he gave seemed quite real, so many people still chose to buy.
Then problems arose with this purchase. The contestant's monster was fake, and it shouldn't have been discovered so early. After all, such a rare monster should of course be treated as a treasure and kept away.
But after someone bought it, he was unlucky and encountered a monster. The buyer wanted to run away, but because the monster was too weak, the buyer remembered that he had an attacking monster, so he started a live broadcast to show off how he killed the monster.
The result is predictable. Instead of killing the weirdo through live streaming, he broadcast his own death live.
Thanks to this live broadcast, otherwise we wouldn’t have discovered so quickly that someone was selling fake monsters.
Others wanted to return the product, only to find that the contestant had already turned off the return option, and the product details were extremely vague about the function of the item, which clearly showed that he was intentionally selling fakes.
Now everyone is in danger and they are checking the quality of the strange things and food they bought. Those that can be used continuously are fine, but those that are disposable are difficult to deal with.
Even if you have verified the effect after using it, the thing is gone. If you don't test it again, what if it turns out to be a fake? You might lose your life like that unlucky guy. It's only been a few days, and some weird thing inspection shops have opened up.
Although no problems were detected with the strange items sold by other contestants, due to this contestant's fraudulent operation, other contestants found that the sales of their products slowed down, but they could not find the reason. They just thought that the product was not attractive enough, or that other people did not have enough strange coins, and they had no idea that they were affected.
However, Ying Yuanxing has the endorsement of the Xia Kingdom. After all, the Xia Kingdom's Dawn Bureau dares to announce such news, which means that the grilled dried fish is genuine and not mixed with real or fake ones.
Moreover, the price of the grilled dried fish sold by Ying Yuanxing is really cheap, so many people plan to buy it and then sell it at a high price.
However, Ying Yuanxing had already set up a policy where the products were only sold domestically and not exported. People from foreign countries did not even have the qualifications to compete with the Xia people. This put many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation off guard.
Now he started to go crazy on Xia Guo’s social media platforms, and Ying Yuanxing’s live broadcast room was naturally not left out.
However, with the announcement of the news from the Dawn Bureau, the number of viewers in Ying Yuanxing's live broadcast room skyrocketed. These people would be scolded if they criticized Ying Yuanxing in other places, but when they arrived at Ying Yuanxing's base camp, they were directly beaten and became clowns to entertain other viewers.
…
'Do you want to spend 100,000 to unlock the land?'
Ying Yuanxing nodded yes without hesitation. The space in front of him flashed. Ying Yuanxing stretched out his hand tentatively and found that the air wall that had existed before was gone, and the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, revealing a large area of land inside.
This is the most expensive piece of land that Ying Yuanxing has unlocked, but it is also the largest piece of land. After opening this piece of land, all the land in the entire farm will be unlocked, which means he doesn't have to work so hard to ship the goods in the past few days.
In order to save up 100,000 yuan as soon as possible, Ying Yuanxing even harvested some extra grass and put it up for sale online. The speed at which the grass sold also shocked Ying Yuanxing.
As soon as the products are put on the shelves, they are sold out. He sells out as many as he can, as if he is facing a market that is extremely eager for his products.
Seeing this situation, Ying Yuanxing even wanted to raise the price a bit, but after thinking about it, Ying Yuanxing was still embarrassed to do so. Moreover, although raising the price arbitrarily might gain temporary benefits, it would damage the reputation of the online store over a long period of time. Ying Yuanxing did not intend to make a quick buck and run away.
[Wow, the host finally unlocked another piece of land. The amount of grass and roasted dried fish can be increased again. I’m excited.]
[I feel that the amount of forage can be increased, but the amount of fish cannot. With more fields, it takes more time to manage them, and there will be no time for fishing.]
[Indeed, why doesn’t the anchor hire someone…wait, it seems there is no suitable candidate]
[The weird world can only invite weird people. Although this is slower, we still don’t want too many weird people to come around the anchor. The risk is too great.]
[The farm is just too big. Seeing the anchor working so hard, I feel tired for him.]
[It's been so long, and no player has been able to come to Taoxi Village? It would be great if someone could help the anchor.]
[Although, sometimes people can be more dangerous than weird things]
【How do you say it? 】
[Anchor: Although this farm only sells grass and looks inconspicuous, we all know how valuable this farm is. If someone came to Taoxi Village, would they really not want to take the farm away? ]
[No one can be so vicious]
[Emmmm, have you forgotten that some players pitted each other in order to compete for strange objects? Even though they knew they would be condemned for this after returning to Blue Star, in the strange world, if they really encountered good things, they would not care so much]
[The anchor seems to be only good at farming, has some strength and some luck. I still hope that the anchor will not meet other players, otherwise it will be too dangerous.]
[It’s better not to say it, don’t provide inspiration to others]
The barrage section was worried about Ying Yuanxing for a moment, and this topic did make people think about it, but it was a bit troublesome for the contestants to enter Taoxi Village, so they couldn't act immediately.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the land in front of him. The ground was full of shrubs, dead trees and stones. Unlocking the land was only the first step. If he wanted to use the land, he needed to reclaim it first.
Ying Yuanxing called Xuanying and handed him an axe. Xuanying was responsible for the wood and he was responsible for the stones. They worked together and tried to tidy up the land today.
After Ying Yuanxing gave the instructions, he concentrated on chiseling the stone. After a while, he heard the rhythmic sound of logging behind him.
After clearing a lot of the stones in front of him, Ying Yuanxing turned his head to look at Xuanying, wanting to see how much he had done, and found that Xuanying's movements were a bit small, so that the logging speed dropped sharply.
"Xuanying?" Ying Yuanxing called out in confusion, and saw Xuanying turned his head away with his whole body tense, as if he didn't dare to look at him.
"What's wrong with you?" Ying Yuanxing walked over quickly, and Xuanying turned his head to him only when he was almost beside him.
Ying Yuanxing frowned unconsciously and scanned Xuanying's face several times. The facial features were clearly very familiar, but he always felt something was odd.
"Did the cold wind cause your face to become paralyzed?" Ying Yuanxing thought for a long time and finally figured out what was wrong. Xuanying was clearly smiling, but it looked as if he was not smiling from the inside.
"No..." Xuanying hesitated and said, "It doesn't count. Otherwise, I'll go find a doctor."
"Go quickly. Don't work today. Wait until you feel better." Ying Yuanxing waved his hand and told Xuanying to go see a doctor immediately. He would do the rest of the work. It's not that he couldn't finish it. At most, he would just need to eat more food to increase his strength.
If you really can't afford it, you can also go to the back mountain to soak in the hot springs, but you have to run there on foot, and the round trip takes too much time.
When this was mentioned, Ying Yuanxing looked at the large piece of land in front of him, turned his head to look in other directions of the farm, estimated the area of the farm, and then calculated his walking speed, his expression became solemn.
It’s time to buy a means of transportation, otherwise it will be a waste of time just walking around the farm on foot.
In fact, making some food that increases speed is also a good choice, but compared to the trouble of making food, it is easier to buy transportation. After all, Ying Yuanxing has still collected coffee seeds, which is the simplest ingredient to increase speed. Collecting other foods is more troublesome.
Ying Yuanxing did what he said and went straight to Yuan Qing, wanting him to build a stable.
When Yuan Xiu came back, he saw Yuan Qing with a bitter face.
"Ying Yuanxing has been here?" Yuan Xiu immediately sensed a familiar smell and raised his eyebrows, "What kind of problem did he give you?"
"He asked me to build a stable." Yuan Qing said.
Repair the stable?
Yuan Xiu was just about to say that this was not difficult and Yuan Qing should be very good at this, but suddenly he remembered the kitchen that Yuan Qing had built for Ying Yuanxing, so this stable was probably different from an ordinary stable.
"What should be put in the stable?" Yuan Xiu asked. He thought that Yuan Qing would not be surprised no matter what he said, but he still underestimated Ying Yuanxing.
"Horse." Yuan Qing said.
When the contract came out, Yuan Qing was dumbfounded. She thought the last kitchen contract was outrageous, but she didn't expect it to be even more outrageous this time.
The monsters in the weird world are basically intelligent. Even if their original form is a horse, it is unlikely that they will serve as mounts for people. It is too difficult to find a horse for Ying Yuanxing.
"Have you signed the contract?" Yuan Xiu asked.
Yuan Qing nodded.
"Let me see the contract." Yuan Xiu stretched out his hand and Yuan Qing handed him the contract. After reading the contract carefully, Yuan Xiu found that Yuan Qing was not telling the truth. What Ying Yuanxing asked for was a tool to increase the speed of movement.
However, seeing that it said that the tractor could plant, harvest, chop wood and chisel stones, Yuan Xiu suddenly felt that finding a horse was not that difficult, because the former was obviously more difficult.
But how could anyone be willing to be Ying Yuanxing’s mount?
Yuan Xiu stared at the contract in a daze, and inexplicably thought of the little black cat on the farm. If he didn't know that it was Xuan Ying's clone, Yuan Xiu would have thought it was just a cat.
So, there really is a choice.
Xuanying was in a heavy mood at the moment. He had just asked a doctor, and he was told that this body of his would not last long, at most a week, and it might be completely scrapped.
Of course, if he didn't care about the damage on the surface, he could still hold on for a while, but how could he dare to show it in front of Ying Yuanxing.
Because he discovered that Ying Yuanxing seemed to be a human being. Even though he was of the same kind as himself, he was also a human being.
Xuanying has no likes or dislikes towards humans. At most, he knows that the energy contained in human flesh and blood is not as much as that of monsters. Devouring a hundred humans may not be as good as devouring one monster.
As humans are relatively fragile, they are prey to many small monsters.
In the past, there were not many humans in the strange world. Only occasionally would a human appear, and it was quite rare. But in the past two years, more humans have appeared.
Although some humans have strange auras when they appear, humans are too fragile. What are merely superficial wounds to a ghost may be fatal to humans.
These are the only impressions Xuanying has of humans.
But after discovering that Ying Yuanxing might be a human, Xuanying went to see what other monsters knew about humans and found that humans are actually very afraid of monsters. They only feel disgust when facing monsters and either want to escape or kill them.
From Xuanying's observation, Ying Yuanxing seemed to think that he was a human, or perhaps he mistakenly thought that they were all humans, so he did not show any fear. This was also the reason why Xuanying did not dare to expose himself.
He would rather give up this identity than let Ying Yuanxing discover the truth.
However, Xuanying was still a little confused about what identity to use to approach Ying Yuanxing after his identity was abandoned.
The strange skins he had swallowed before were still there, but they didn't look good, and if they were damaged once, they might be damaged a second time. If they were damaged again, he would have to start all over again.
Secondly, Xuanying was worried that Ying Yuanxing still remembered these strange faces, and it would be even more troublesome if he found that the dead people suddenly reappeared.
Thirdly, Xuanying wanted to use his own face to meet Ying Yuanxing. He had been practicing transformation every night recently and now he could take on a human form, but he still needed to be more refined and be able to maintain a stable transformation 24 hours a day.
Xuan Ying originally wanted to hold on for a while longer, and then use his current identity to introduce his true form to Ying Yuanxing, so as to avoid Ying Yuanxing's vigilance, but now it seems he has to give up.
Xuanying frowned and was thinking about something. When he saw Yuanxiu appear, his face darkened. Even though he knew Yuanxiu didn't mean it, he still didn't like him.
"Your skin is broken. Have you ever thought about how to get close to Ying Yuanxing again?" Yuan Xiu spoke, causing Xuan Ying to stop subconsciously.
"Do you want to be the introducer?" Xuanying was puzzled, but he always felt that Yuan Xiu was not so kind.
Yuan Xiu curled the corner of his mouth, thinking that Xuanying’s idea was too beautiful.
"Ying Yuanxing asked Yuan Qing to repair the stable, and he needs a horse." Yuan Xiu said, and Xuanying immediately understood what he meant. The other party wanted him to be a horse for Ying Yuanxing in his next identity.
But in this way, even if his true body comes out, he still won't be able to get close to Ying Yuanxing.
Yuan Xiu has already felt the difference between becoming a human and approaching Ying Yuanxing, and becoming an animal. Pets are certainly favored, but Ying Yuanxing will not have too much communication with pets, so the human form is still best.
Yuan Xiu thought that Xuanying would agree as soon as he finished speaking, but he didn't expect the other party to hesitate for a moment and then listen to Xuanying's question.
"I can help. Tell the owner that the horse already has one, but since I don't have time to take care of it, I've left it on a farm. That way, when you can transform into a human form, you can find it." Yuan Xiu quickly thought of a solution.
"Other than this, what do you want to do?" Yuan Xiu asked back when he saw Xuanying was still considering.
Xuan Ying was silent. Apart from Yuan Xiu's method, there were really not many other solutions. After all, after he turned into a horse, many things were difficult to explain. He could only ask Yuan Xiu for help.
So, when Ying Yuanxing saw Xuanying and Yuanxiu coming, Yuanxiu was leading a black horse.
"What is this?" Although Ying Yuanxing had some guesses, he felt that it came a little too fast.
"This is a horse that a friend of mine asked me to foster. It just can't move around in the mountains. You're building a stable and need a horse for it. Could you please take care of it and let it exercise a bit?" Yuan Xiu asked, patting the horse's body.
It turned out it wasn't for him.
Ying Yuanxing was disappointed for a moment, but he could understand it. After all, building a stable and giving away a horse seemed like too much of a loss. But now, at least he had the right to use the horse, which was not bad.
Ying Yuanxing stepped forward, stretched out his hand tentatively, and gently touched the horse's forehead, and found that the horse was quite docile.
Ying Yuanxing wanted to ride a horse, but this was reality after all. Ying Yuanxing took out some grass, put it close to the horse's mouth and fed it. After making sure that the horse was well behaved, Ying Yuanxing thought about getting on the horse and sat on it.
Riding around the farm on horseback, Ying Yuanxing felt a little regretful that he had not mentioned the construction of the stable earlier. If he had said so earlier, who knows how much time he could have saved.
Yuan Xiu looked at the big black horse, then looked at Xuan Ying, and asked, "How are you going to exit?"
Xuanying was a little slow to react, and after a while he said, "I will create another clone, saying that I am a relative, and then take me away."
Xuanying's technique in controlling his clone has actually improved a lot compared to before, but this skin is too damaged, and most of his energy is focused on keeping the skin intact, so his reaction is a little slow.
Seeing that Xuanying had made all the arrangements, Yuan Xiu did not ask any questions. After all, it was such a simple matter and there would not be any accidents.
