Chapter 15 Blood Tofu
Everything was settled and everything was bought. Ovi didn't dare to delay and took Wen Le back to the station where they came from.
The car had not arrived yet, but the area around the station was already full of people, and while Wen Le and the others were waiting for the car, some people were rushing over carrying bags.
Ovi told Wen Le that he would rather wait here a little longer than miss the bus back, otherwise he would have to stay here for a week.
People coming from the slums are not welcome here. If you have extra money, you can stay in a hotel or be taken in by local people you know. If you don't have these conditions, you will be caught by the patrol and forced to mine. You will not be released until you have mined for a month.
Although they say they will release them, very few actually do. They always find excuses not to release them. Anyway, these people are undocumented and undocumented, so even if they are missing, no one would know.
Wen Le's scalp tingled at what he heard. Although Ovi had downplayed the situation, he could still imagine how dark things were. Mining was hard work, and even miners with IDs didn't necessarily receive good treatment, let alone these undocumented individuals on the Abandoned Planet.
Wen Le shrank his neck, and Jin Cancan, who was hiding in his arms, meowed and huddled back into Wen Le's clothes. Someone nearby heard the meow and glanced over, then calmly looked away.
This is the station. No quarrels or private fights are allowed. Otherwise, you will be blocked and don't even think about coming to Area B next time.
So even though they knew Wen Le had a pet, they wanted to take it away immediately, but they had to hold back. Moreover, Ao Wei's unique aura as a third-level psychic also made these people afraid to act rashly.
Ovi took it all in, glanced at the little thing hiding in Wen Le's arms, and seemed to be thinking about something.
But Wen Le was unaware of all this.
…
After returning to the safe zone, Wen Le said hello to Aowei and ran back to his tent impatiently. He excitedly turned on the light computer and started to connect to the star network. However, after waiting for a long time, the reply he got was that the connection could not be made and there was no star network coverage nearby.
It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Wen Le's head, chilling him to the bone. He had originally planned to learn the association's pharmaceutical methods first, so that even if he didn't reach the required system level, he could still learn how to make medicine and sell it for credits. But he hadn't expected to be unable to even log into the Star Network.
What is the difference between an optical computer that cannot log in to the Star Network and a stand-alone computer? It is just like the existence of a bank card, but it still cannot connect to the Internet.
The system popped up and said, "There is no future in taking shortcuts. Please practice healing techniques diligently to increase your proficiency and strive to upgrade as soon as possible."
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Wen Le always felt that there was a hint of pride in the electronic sound of the system tablet.
Wen Le was a little skeptical. "System, you're the one who can't access the Star Network, are you?" He truly suspected the system had secretly blocked the Star Network, preventing him from logging in. Otherwise, why had he been able to log in with his computer at the Therapist Association, but not after returning? It was only a three-hour drive, not that far.
And this isn’t the Earth of thousands of years ago, where there’s no internet due to equipment and other issues.
Now the star network is managed by the main brain. It can connect to the Internet across the entire galaxy. It is impossible that there is no network at such a close distance, right?
This is truly a wish system. It stopped playing dead and defended itself: "Everyone here is an illegal immigrant and can't access the Star Network. Is that my fault? You were able to access the Star Network because the Healer Association applied for it. You don't even have the qualifications to apply here, so why do you blame me?"
Wen Le was left speechless by the system's furious attack. He had no choice but to shamelessly apologize to the system, but the system replied with a snort and ignored him, no matter how much Wen Le tried to persuade it to ignore him.
Wen Le touched his nose awkwardly.
Now that there is no shortcut, I can only improve my proficiency as quickly as possible.
So Wen Le simply packed up his things and left the tent to meet up with his teammates.
His teammates were still the same people as last time, Li Erjiamu and the two hunters were all there, but the wood-attributed mutant was missing.
Li Er, the team leader, told Wen Le that the other party had left their team since escaping danger last time and led his own team.
However, his approach was understood by everyone. After all, before Wen Le awakened, everyone in the team was a team leader leading the team alone. Now they have become bodyguards of a little kid in disguise. It is normal that they cannot accept it.
However, although everyone understood, they couldn't accept his approach in their hearts. Everyone knew that leading a team alone had many advantages, but they could accept such an arrangement, but the other party couldn't?
Li Er felt that the other party was too narrow-minded, only focusing on the short-term benefits. Following a healer was much more promising than being a squad leader. Even if they were just bodyguards now, Wen Le would eventually grow up unless something unexpected happened. Those of them who had followed him since childhood could be considered his direct descendants. Even if they couldn't eat meat, at least they could have soup, right?
But everyone has their own aspirations, and he can't interfere with other people's choices. He just hopes they won't regret it later.
Wen Le came back just in time. The energy storm had just passed and they still had a few hours to go out.
To save time, everyone gathered and left the safe zone to start hunting gray rats. This time, they were lucky. Not long after they started walking, they encountered a lone gray rat. Li Er and Jia Mu worked together to entangle the gray rat and prevent it from escaping. The other two hunters quickly stepped forward and cut the rat's neck.
Wen Le took the basin he had prepared in advance to collect the gray rat's blood.
If the meat is edible, then the blood must be edible, right? After all, I've never heard of anyone dying from poisoning after eating gray rat blood. So Wen Le brought a basin with him as a backup. Even if he couldn't find a gray rat, he could still dig up a basin of sandworms. These dried things can be eaten like beef jerky.
Not only can you save it as food reserves, but you can also use it as a food for your little one to sharpen his teeth. Next time, you can go to Area B to get some seasonings and marinate it. Maybe it will taste better than the beef jerky sold in the supermarket.
Wen Le held the basin and recalled the delicious food he had eaten before, and especially pulled out the Maoxuewang from his memory to savor it again, he was so greedy that he was drooling.
Li Er looked at Wen Le holding the basin of gray rat blood with shining eyes, and couldn't help feeling a chill on the back of his neck. He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, scratched his head and asked: "What's the use of collecting this blood?" If you don't drink it while it's hot, it will solidify into lumps later.
Yes, that's right, Lear also drank the blood of a gray squirrel. It should be said that almost everyone in the safe zone has drunk it, except for the old and weak who have no hunting ability.
Gray squirrel blood can relieve dehydration symptoms and replenish trace amounts of salt. Based on the principle of not wasting, most people drink the blood after hunting gray squirrels. Last time, I didn't drink the blood of the gray squirrel because I was afraid of scaring Wen Le. Who knew this kid was even more ferocious than them and directly used the basin to wait.
Wen Le said mysteriously: "These can be made into blood tofu, a very delicious food."
