In the impermanent world, under the bridge across the river.
A thick layer of ice formed on the river surface. Wei Xuan and Nie Yu squatted on the ice, using a liquid crystal core knife to cut through the ice layer, waiting for the mutant fish to come up for air.
Someone nearby also wanted to dig a hole in the ice, but didn't have the right tools. When he saw the knife in Wei Xuan's hand, his eyes lit up, "Can I borrow your knife?"
Wei Xuan stood up, "Sure, a blue crystal core."
In the impermanent days, this kind of exchange is very common.
A blue crystal core is not expensive, and it is much more convenient than digging an ice hole yourself. The man took out the crystal core and handed it over.
Nie Yu collected the crystal cores, and Wei Xuan held up a knife, "Where do you want to make a hole?"
The man pointed out a good location, and Wei Xuan walked over and cut a few holes with the knife, making a small hole, and then returned to her own ice cave.
During the cold wave, heavy snow fell every night.
The ice cave opened the day before was frozen solid again the next morning.
If someone wanted to open an ice cave, they would find Wei Xuan and Nie Yu and pay a blue crystal core.
During this period, the two girls earned a lot of crystal cores by opening ice caves and hunting mutant fish.
On weekdays, they spent some money to redeem food blind boxes and ordinary crystal core blind boxes, and they could still save a lot.
After squatting for another day, they could get a whole box of winter limited series crystal cores. The two were very energetic.
Xi Tingran also took Xi Ruiyang to dig a hole in the ice, with a small bucket of crystal cores next to it.
When the mutated aquatic creature emerged, Xi Ruiyang used his supernatural power to shake it out of the water, and then used tools to take out the crystal core.
This cold wave was actually much colder than before, but the blind box store sold food blind boxes and crystal core series blind boxes.
The residents of the base had hope and took the initiative to go out hunting mutants in exchange for survival supplies.
Xi Tingran's burden was much lighter, and he even had time to accompany Xi Ruiyang to practice his supernatural powers.
Compared with mutated animals and plants, human supernatural powers evolve very slowly, and to a greater extent they strengthen the basic abilities of the body and improve immunity.
A blue big-mouthed fish emerged from the water. Chong Ruiyang quickly shook it out of the water, raised his small axe, chopped off the fish head accurately, and took out a blue crystal core.
He has been particularly active recently, hunting mutants with his own hands, obtaining crystal cores, and then spending them in blind box stores, which makes him feel very satisfied.
The rare sound of machinery broke the tranquility on the river. The people who "waited for fish in the cave" heard a "whine" coming from a distance, scaring away the fish that had just emerged. They couldn't help but stand up angrily and look into the distance.
Someone who has awakened the supernatural power of "Clairvoyance" saw the snowmobile flying from a distance and was startled: "Fuck! It seems like someone is driving a motorcycle over here!"
Lu Yao took Chi Jin and circled the river surface. He stopped to take off his helmet and prepared to go down to take a look.
Chi Jin got off the car first and stamped his feet to shake off the snow foam on his body.
Xi Tingran recognized Lu Yao and stood up and walked over, "Shopkeeper, why are you here?"
"There is a European emperor who opened a winter series hidden treasure. He doesn't know how to ride it, so I took him out for a ride." Lu Yao was in a very good mood and pointed to the young man in sunglasses beside him.
Xi Tingran nodded to Chi Jin as a greeting, and looked at the snowmobile parked on the ice: "Is this thing opened from a blind box?"
"Yes." Lu Yao nodded.
Xi Tingran couldn't move. It was outrageous that this thing could actually come out of the blind box.
He had ridden a motorcycle when he was a child, and there were still many motorized tools in the Impermanence World a few years ago. He learned to ride a motorcycle and could drive a car.
But in recent years, gasoline has been unavailable, and the cars in the base can't be driven.
"Can I try this car?" Xi Tingran asked.
Lu Yao: "You ask him."
Chi Jin hesitated for a second and nodded slightly.
"Thank you!" Xi Tingran thanked sincerely, walked quickly to the snowmobile, and touched the handlebars excitedly.
Lu Yao explained the precautions to him.
Xi Tingran had the foundation of driving a motorcycle, so learning to ride a snowmobile was almost not difficult.
He turned around on the ice for a few times, and after he got used to it, he took Shi Ruiyang for two more turns, and reluctantly returned the car.
"Second uncle, let's go to the blind box store to buy some boxes. Let's also get a snowmobile." Looking at the owner and Chi Jin riding away, Shi Ruiyang pulled Shi Tingran's arm and said.
This was the first time he had ridden in a car since he was a child.
Although they only turned around twice and the wind was like a knife that made his face hurt, Shi Ruiyang still held Shi Tingran's clothes tightly, and his mouth corners were about to crack to the back of his ears with joy.
It was too exciting.
Shi Tingran looked deeply at the distant car, his face solemn.
Under the pressure of survival, they have always deliberately ignored the sources of various goods in the blind box store and did not delve into it.
But his curiosity was still full at this moment, and he wanted to ask the store owner where the brand new snowmobile came from.
Rong Tingran knew that Lu Yao's origin was unusual, and he had been testing her intentions implicitly.
But she really didn't seem to have any special purpose, just wanted to run the store here well.
The new researchers in the base were a little strange, and Rong Tingran couldn't help thinking that if the store owner was willing to cooperate, it would make people feel more at ease than any researcher.
The problem is that there is no suitable bargaining chip that can be exchanged with the store owner on an equal basis.
Luo Huian walked forward in the snow breathlessly.
He hoped that the people at the base would see that he was unfamiliar and because he was fat, they would subconsciously want to get rid of him.
He is not very old, only about 10 years old, and walks like a chubby bun, moving slowly.
In the days of impermanence, food is scarce, and people are starving everywhere. A little fat man like Luo Hui'an is very rare, which easily makes people have some bad associations.
Passersby look at him with disgust and vigilance.
Luo Hui'an has only one goal in his mind-the blind box store.
He followed others for a long way, but was later left behind. Following the footprints, he still found the legendary blind box store.
Frozen, hungry and tired, Luo Hui'an leaned against the door of the blind box store and slowed down for a long time.
He propped himself up and slowly walked into the store. He felt warm and looked around. He saw the crystal core blind box machine at a glance and squeezed over to look at it for a long time.
When others saw that he did not redeem the blind box, they watched others draw boxes and became wary. They turned their backs and did not want him to watch anymore. They drew the blind box and left quickly.
Luo Hoian had seen enough of the blind box machine, so he quietly moved to the lobby and stood by the table to watch others open the boxes.
Others thought he coveted the things in the blind box and drove him away impatiently.
If he had not been put on the blacklist for fighting in the store, Luo Hoian would have been driven out long ago.
He stood in the corner, took out a few crystal cores from his pocket, counted them, and ran to redeem the blind box coins.
After observing the blind box coins for a long time, he finally stepped up to the blind box machine, intending to redeem a blind box.
When passing by the food blind box machine, his stomach made a rumbling sound.
Someone was eating instant noodles in the lobby, and a strange aroma filled the entire space.
Luo Hui'an swallowed his saliva. The blind box coins in his hand were only enough to exchange for one crystal core blind box.
If he exchanged the food first, there would be no extra blind box coins to exchange for the crystal core blind box.
At first, he actually came to the blind box store for the medicine blind box. He didn't expect that there were so many products driven by crystal core energy in the store, and he was very interested in every one of them.
After hesitating for a few seconds at the instant noodle blind box, Luo Hui'an still walked towards the crystal core blind box machine and exchanged for a crystal core blind box.
He was excited and prepared to open it.
At this time, the sound of a strange machine starting came from outside, and Luo Hui'an ran out and squeezed to the front of the crowd.
A snowmobile was parked outside the store. Two people jumped off the vehicle one after another, and people around were talking about it.
Luo Hui'an blinked and walked forward, "Is this also a machine driven by crystal core energy?" Lu
Yao put down his helmet and was tidying up his flattened hair. He looked up and saw a little fat boy squatting in front of the snowmobile with curious eyes.
No wonder she noticed the other person's figure at first glance. It is rare to meet such a plump child in this world, and even fewer adults.
She nodded and squatted down to look at the other person, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The little fat boy's cheeks were abnormally flushed. Staying outside in the cold weather, his forehead was sweating, and his lips were dry and pale, without blood color.
Luo Hui'an looked at her in surprise. Apart from his parents, this was the first person who saw him without showing disgust.
Although he himself doesn't care much about other people's opinions, he still feels happy when he occasionally meets a different person.
He pursed his lips, took two steps towards her with difficulty, and whispered: "It's okay, just a minor problem. Where did you get this car? I didn't expect the outside world to develop so fast, and there are even cars driven by crystal core energy."
Lu Yao felt that this child spoke very maturely. Seeing that he was still holding a crystal core energy blind box in his arms, he said directly: "This car was also taken out of the blind box."
She stood up and looked at Chi Jin: "What are you going to do? Learn here, or let me help you send this car to the base first."
Chi Jin said without hesitation: "Put the car here, come and learn every day."
"Okay, I've said everything I should say, you should get familiar with it first." After Lu Yao finished speaking, he turned and went back to the store.
Chi Jin: "..."
Luo Hoian listened for a while, and then caught up with Lu Yao, "Are you the owner of this store?"
"Yeah." Lu Yao kept walking, it was a bit cold outside.
Luo Hoian: "Do you know magic?" Lu
Yao stopped: "Why do you ask?"
Luo Hoian blinked, a little excited: "The existence of this store is like magic."
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes, I know magic."
Luo Hoian was slightly stunned.
When he came back to his senses, Lu Yao had already entered the office.
He stood at the door for a while at a loss, turned around and found a seat to sit down, intending to open the blind box first.
Luo Hoian was lucky and opened a filtered and heated water cup.
After reading the instructions for the cup, he immediately ran outside the store to fill a cup of snow.
The snow water melted and seeped down along the filter liquid.
More than ten minutes later, Luo Hui'an held the cup and drank the boiled water in small sips, feeling a little surprised.
This water really doesn't have a strange taste.
He raised the cup again and carefully observed the transparent filtered liquid in the cup.
Without research equipment, it is impossible to tell what it is with the naked eye.
The crystal core energy liquid used for heating at the bottom also surprised him. It was completely the purest state after refining, but he couldn't figure out how to do this.
Luo Hui'an turned his head to look at the door of the office and wanted to ask her.
The door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the owner came out.
Luo Hui'an nervously lowered his head and pretended to drink hot water, not daring to speak.
She is so amazing and has developed crystal core energy to the extreme.
If he ran over to ask questions, she would definitely think he was boring.
Luo Hui'an's parents were both researchers. They had been researching two areas: one was drugs that could treat his condition, and the other was the development of crystal core energy.
He had been exposed to the blind box store since he was a child, and he knew very well how amazing the things in the blind box store were. He
automatically added a thick filter to the store owner in his heart, so he didn't dare to approach easily.
When he mustered up the courage to look up and wanted to talk, the store owner had already gone out.
Lu Yao went to the snack bar and got the payment for the black ring that he traded at the amusement park last time.
She has been busy with the blind box store recently and has not asked about it.
The captain of the guard has delivered the money to the snack bar. After Lu Yao counted it, and the system automatically reported the tax, there was still 4 million left.
She clicked on the store owner's status bar.
Shop owner: Lu Yao
Age: 22
Shops: 3
Employees: 18
Popularity: 1103500
Assets: 905W
Wish progress: 6%
Warehouse grid: 40
(Commercial Street Map)
The money from the two recent sales of the black ring was not deposited into the bank.
She upgraded a safe in the snack bar, and kept nearly 8 million in cash here for easy access.
After dealing with the payment, she posted a black ring on the forum.
Yanguang City, Xicheng Hotel.
Lin Yan and others packed their bags and prepared to return to Yuheng City.
They had been squatting in Yanguang City for nearly half a month, but did not catch the tail of the abnormal energy point.
Originally, they thought that the abnormal energy point might appear during the black ring transaction.
On the day of the ring transaction, Lin Yan still did not give up entering the paradise world.
For safety reasons, Qi Jue also asked Zhuang Liang to accompany him.
But the door that opened to Qi Jue and Zhuang Liang did not accept Lin Yan.
She, Tang Qi and Xiao Zhou couldn't even see the black door that appeared in the room. They just watched the two grown men disappear into thin air.
The detection equipment placed in the room failed to detect any abnormal energy points.
After Qi Jue and Zhuang Liang went in, they soon came back with a black ring.
When the two came out of the door, their faces were pale, their backs were soaked with sweat, and they looked like they had survived a disaster.
This time, it was not Lu Yao who came to trade with them, but an NPC they had never seen before.
The NPC was not very big, but he exuded a chilling evil spirit.
The NPC pushed the ring over, Qi Jue picked up the ring, and Zhuang Liang immediately pushed the box of money over.
The whole transaction process was silent.
Zhuang Liang returned to his residence and inevitably fell ill again.
In the following days, Lin Yan's team had been waiting for news from various banks, but no suspicious person had appeared with a large amount of cash for nearly half a month.
The news of tax payment came soon, but they still could not find the specific information of that person.
They stayed in Zhaoguang City for too long, and gained nothing from this business trip, so it was time to return to the headquarters.
The tickets had been booked, and Lin Yan and Xiao Zhou were pushing their suitcases, preparing to meet Tang Qi at the elevator entrance, when their cell phone suddenly rang.
She stopped and answered the phone: "Hello."
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's me, Ji Feiming."
Lin Yan's expression frightened, "Boss, we are preparing to return to the headquarters. Is there a new case that needs to be taken over?"
A few minutes later, Lin Yan hung up the phone and canceled the return ticket.
Xiao Zhou was confused, "Director, what did the boss say?"
Lin Yan thought for a few seconds, "Call Tang Qi over first."
Ji Feiming called and said only one important thing - the 955 special department had been issued a cancellation document, which would be officially implemented in three days.
This news was too sudden for Tang Qi and Xiao Zhou.
After a business trip and returning home a few days late, the company was gone.
Lin Yan knew some inside information a long time ago.
Starting about half a year ago, the strange phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by science have gradually become difficult to observe.
In recent months, many phenomena have even disappeared.
Now, the only project that is still worth observing is the "Paradise".
The higher-ups believe that over time, even the existence of the "Paradise" will slowly disappear.
According to recent observation reports, the number of black rings has decreased significantly, and the "paradise" is indeed disappearing.
There are no more strange phenomena in this world, and the 955 special department has lost its value of existence.
Tang Qi was at a loss. His greatest pleasure was to observe the extraordinary phenomena in the everyday world and explore the meaning of their existence.
"Director Lin, what should we do in the future?"
Should we prepare and submit our resume again?
Lin Yan pondered for a moment, "The boss said he would come here in person to take over the 'Paradise' project. Now that the higher-ups are no longer concerned about these matters, he will continue to investigate in a private capacity. If you two are willing to talk to him, wait for him to come and tell him yourself."
"The boss... is that the one? Someone from the Ji family?" Tang Qi had worked at 955 for several years, and had only heard of the Ji family's reputation, but had never seen this legendary top boss.
It is rumored that members of the Ji family occasionally have Yin-Yang eyes, and can distinguish evil spirits and dead souls with the naked eye without the help of any instruments.
The original boss of the 955 special department, Ji Feiming, was born with Yin-Yang eyes.
