According to the system, food, clean water, and medicine are all in short supply. But in fact, it only lists the most basic daily necessities, and the shelter lacks everything.
If there is a large amount of diesel for sale at a low price, residents will be able to drive and travel, greatly improving their own safety.
On the other hand, diesel is flammable, and its vapor will burn and explode when it encounters fire at 60 or 70 degrees Celsius. If used properly, its power is no less than that of dynamite.
Su Han accidentally overthought. But after thinking about it again, she was speechless. It was not certain whether it was diesel, what if it was beer? Or something else.
At this time, the little girl had calmed down, said "I'm leaving", and then blended into the crowd and quickly disappeared.
Su Han wanted to call him back, but he was no longer in her sight. She couldn't help but mutter, "He's short and skinny, but he runs pretty fast."
Shaking her head, she was just thinking about whether to go back to the tent when she heard a surprised shout, "I found the crystal!!"
Su Han was stunned and almost blurted out, How is it possible? !
"Where is the guy who said that crystal stones can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice? Come out quickly." The man shouted excitedly.
The residents around were confused by this sudden incident. They all stopped talking and gathered around to watch.
The man didn't care about the many eyes focused on him, and just kept shouting, "Where is the person who collected the crystals? Why don't you come out! Are you going back on your word and deliberately trying to trick me?"
Just as the crowd began to get suspicious, a man wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a researcher, came out. He looked indifferent and asked nonchalantly, "Where's the crystal?"
"Here, here." As he spoke, the man trotted closer.
"Let me take a look." The man in the white coat requested.
The man looked hesitant.
The man in the white coat took a quick glance and said calmly, "You can stand aside and wait for the results of the appraisal. Don't worry, it won't take too long."
The person who got the crystal was reluctant to give it away.
Su Han stood alone in the corner, looking from afar, and inexplicably felt that the so-called crystal stone was similar to the small white stones picked up from the ground.
The man in the white coat took the crystal and examined it carefully. After a minute, he nodded and concluded, "This is the crystal I want."
"Well...you see..." The man who offered the crystal stone laughed and rubbed his hands, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I said that one crystal stone can be exchanged for one hundred kilograms of rice. I keep my word." The man in the white coat waved his hand, and immediately several people carrying rice bags brought one hundred kilograms of rice to him.
"I'm rich!" The guy who got a hundred kilograms of grain jumped three feet high, grinning from ear to ear, and almost went crazy with joy.
The man in the white coat reminded slowly, "One crystal can make three bottles of potion. Since you are the first person to make the exchange, I can give you one bottle."
Lucky shook his head like a rattle. "The ingredients are taken from zombies' brains. Is this potion drinkable? Don't give it to me. Give it to someone else in need!"
After saying that, he waved his hands, called two people he knew to come over to help, then picked up the rice, turned around and ran.
The white coat said in a clear voice, "The potion will be ready tomorrow at noon. If anyone wants to try it, they can sign up."
Who would want to drink that stuff... The onlookers were secretly complaining.
But thinking of the bags of rice, their hearts were burning with excitement, and their hands and feet were almost shaking with excitement. A full 100 kilograms of rice! How long would it take to finish it?
Half a day ago, someone heard the white coat say that he wanted to buy crystals at a high price, and one crystal could be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice. As long as you can produce crystals, you can exchange as many as you want. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea. Why not, he also try it?
Everyone was excited, but Su Han's face showed no emotion at all. Instead, he was secretly frightened.
She originally thought that the other party was just telling a clumsy little lie to deliberately lure the residents into the fight, and would lure as many as possible. But judging from the current situation, the other party actually had a back-up plan!
She had enough food and drink, so her emotions were stable and she could easily see through the flaws.
Since they were sure that what they had obtained was the crystal, why didn't they find a room to talk privately afterwards, but instead discussed it in public in front of everyone?
If he was really lucky and got a hundred kilograms of rice, wouldn't he be afraid of becoming rich overnight or being robbed? How dare he leave with several bags of rice?
As for the unknown virus mentioned by the system, Su Han learned the antidote formula on the first day of the White Coat Game and was able to make the potion at noon on the second day. He was too lazy to complain.
The signs of a show are quite obvious. If you calm down and think about it, you can find something wrong. However, the people living outside the shelter are almost starving to death.
All they had in their minds was, “One hundred kilograms of rice, a full one hundred kilograms of rice!” Apart from that, they had no other thoughts.
After thinking for a long time, Su Han suddenly had an idea and finally realized what the man in the white coat was going to do.
Crystals can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice. In order to obtain food, many residents will spontaneously go hunting zombies.
After the zombies died, they turned into white light, and naturally nothing was left. This was a normal phenomenon, but the residents would only think that they were unlucky and did not find a zombie with a crystal in its head.
In order to get good luck and earn 100 kilograms of food, the residents will try their best to continue hunting zombies. In this way, their enthusiasm is greatly improved and the hunting efficiency is greatly improved.
However, this was just a scam. There were no crystals in the zombies' heads. In other words, the residents' bloody battles against the enemies would be in vain. They were being used and gained nothing.
The group in white coats can fool people by just paying a hundred kilograms of rice.
"Maybe even a hundred kilograms of rice is not needed." Su Han muttered to himself. If the so-called lucky person is also a player, and puts the rice bag into the portable warehouse after leaving the sight of everyone, then the white coat group does not have to pay anything and the show is over.
At some point, Zhong Rui appeared beside him and reminded him in a low voice, "The other party is planning more than this. Think about the potion that will be ready tomorrow at noon."
Su Han was very puzzled, "The play is already performed, why add unnecessary details and leave a mess?" It is impossible for these people to have the antidote for the unknown virus, so why would they deliberately dig a hole for themselves?
But the next second, her pupils shrank and she whispered a few words, "Medical talent, vitality agent."
At the same time, Zhong Rui also said, "Vitality agent, inner circle caravan."
The two looked at each other and immediately understood each other.
Vitality agent: light blue liquid, plum juice flavor. After taking it, the three attributes are restored to full value, and all negative states of the player are removed.
The residents only knew that if the white coat accepted the crystal today, he would be able to make a potion tomorrow and successfully cure the unknown virus. On the surface, it seemed that the white coat had mastered the relevant technology and saved people from danger.
However, in fact, the crystal is a fictitious item, and the potion taken out has nothing to do with the crystal. But the NPCs will never know all this.
Zhong Rui further analyzed, "If the 100 kilograms of food is aimed at the residents in the outer circle, then the medicine is aimed at the upper echelons in the inner circle."
“No matter when and where, there will always be a small group of people at the top of the pyramid. They have enough necessities, but they cherish their lives very much and worry that they will die in an accident one day. If an antidote appears, they will definitely try their best to obtain a collection.”
"This way, all 5,000 NPCs on the entire server will be trapped."
Finally, Zhong Rui sighed, "This is going to drag everyone down with it."
"Those who don't understand charge forward to kill the enemy, while those who do can just stand by and watch." Su Han muttered, "The difficulty of the dungeon has dropped sharply, and the chance of clearing it has increased significantly, but why do I feel so unhappy?"
"Because it's a scam, it's not well-intentioned." Zhong Rui said calmly, "The trouble is, if you stand aside after discovering the scam, you will immediately become a beneficiary, so you will have mixed feelings."
On the one hand, the other party is full of malice and ill intentions, and it looks like they deserve to be dealt with. But on the other hand, seeing through the scam can benefit you, and it will be much easier to get through. Most people who see through the scam will remain silent, because the smoother the scam goes, the more they can benefit.
The air suddenly became quiet and the two of them didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Zhong Rui broke the silence and raised doubts, "Will you run to expose the lies?"
Su Han replied without hesitation, "I won't do it."
"Oh?" Zhong Rui raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, "So decisive?"
Su Han shrugged. "It's a survival competition, isn't that what it's all about? Eliminate the unfit ones, leaving the elite ones to have fun. Those who are not smart should have been eliminated early."
Then, she looked at her friend and said seriously, "Think about it carefully. They set up the game with their own abilities, we break it with our own abilities, and others get out of it with their own abilities. There is nothing wrong with that." It even sounds quite reasonable. Everyone is relying on their own abilities!
Zhong Rui laughed.
Su Han continued to explain, "Besides, it's not that easy to be a good person."
"If you expose the scam and damage the interests of others, you will be regarded as an enemy by those with vested interests. Those who can see through the scam are definitely the elites in the server. If you offend a group of people, why bother?"
"Besides, I'm naive to think that if I explain the situation to the NPC, they will choose to believe me. The patient recovered after drinking the potion, and the effect is visible to the naked eye. Without any evidence, how can I prove that the white coat gang has bad intentions and has other intentions? If the evidence is insufficient, I might even get into trouble and be labeled as 'jealous', 'envious', 'malicious slander', etc."
"If I have a high IQ and am rational enough, I will be able to see that there is a problem without anyone reminding me. But if I have a low IQ and am losing my rationality, and my emotions have already fallen into a frenzy, then even if I talk a lot of nonsense, no one will listen to me! Why should I ask for trouble?"
"The stupidest thing in the world is not being able to save the person, but getting yourself into trouble. So after comprehensive consideration, I think telling the truth is a losing business and should never be done."
Su Han spoke the last sentence in a sonorous and decisive voice.
Zhong Rui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied nonchalantly, "Well, then let's not do it. Let's wait and see what happens."
The author has something to say: It is not that if you say you are a good person and are saving people, the people you save will choose to believe you.
