Chapter 6: Golden Legend, a great harvest!
Conveyor belt No. 7.
Western prosecutor Garcia roared angrily, slamming the table.
"You're a poor family, you don't have this, you don't have that. Happy City is not a place to take in beggars. You're a bunch of parasites who came here for the welfare. Damn it, you should go to hell soon!"
A trace of embarrassment and anger flashed across the face of the man standing in the isolation cage.
The woman behind him pulled the child, who looked about five or six years old, into her arms.
The Happy City they heard about on the radio did not require any "entry fee".
But now, Garcia has repeatedly pointed out that a family of three needs to bring something valuable before entering, otherwise they will be kicked out directly and will never be eligible to enter the checkpoint again.
"Sir, please give me a moment..."
After a few seconds of silence, the man licked the blood from his cracked lips. "We will never be parasites. I am strong and can move bricks and unload goods. The city entrance fee... we will pay it immediately after we make money."
"Right away, right away every time. How many times do you think I have to hear these two words every day?"
Garcia sneered, "Am I that easy to fool? Either hand over one valuable item each, or take your 'immediately' and go to the ruins to feed the infected."
Is the Western faction's face so disgusting?
Happiness City is now developing rapidly, how come it has evolved to the end of the dynasty, where inspectors are needed to stand at the door and collect head fees?
Cheng Ye, who was listening attentively, was shocked and concluded that his father Cheng Long, whom he had never met, was definitely the core figure of the East School.
Otherwise, the balance between the East and the West would not have been destroyed to this extent after his death.
"Want to make a bet?"
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze roaming back and forth in the iron cage, secretly sizing up the family.
Hmm, I feel like...it's no wonder Garcia insisted.
The man was tall, at least 185cm tall. Under his torn coarse cloth shirt, his biceps bulged like rocks, the veins on his forearms bulged into knotted lines, and his knuckles were covered with old calluses. It was obvious that he had good fighting ability, which was not comparable to those refugees who escaped by luck.
The woman was a little thin, but her eyes were surprisingly bright, like flickering flames. The muscles in her arms around the child were tense. Although she must be feeling complicated, her body did not tremble unnecessarily, proving that she had a strong mental strength.
As for the child...his gray face doesn't look healthy, but it's not easy for him to survive in the wasteland at such a young age.
Bet on it!
"You two go out and wait at the gate first. I need to deal with some conflicts. Don't worry."
Cheng Ye stood up and first arranged for the man and woman who had just been transferred in to return to the gate and wait.
Then take two steps at a time and reach conveyor belt No. 7.
"Garcia, 3 contribution points. I want this whole family."
"you want?"
Garcia had actually noticed it when Cheng Ye arranged for people to leave.
Now hearing him say this, the narrow eyes revealed by the mask suddenly flashed with an intriguing look.
"It sounds like... you can squeeze more than three contribution points out of this poor guy?"
Oh, you still want to raise the price?
Cheng Ye sneered and knocked on the table.
"Listen, don't try to play that on me. You like to embarrass Dongren. After get off work, I'll ask Big B to play with you."
"Are you trying to scare me with Big B?"
Garcia sneered and stretched out his right hand, "Five contribution points, they are yours."
"make a deal!"
Cheng Ye was too lazy to argue here.
If he had Liu Bi's ability, he would definitely catch this grandson and give him a good beating after work to vent his anger, but he used other people's abilities to bully others, so he had better stop while he was ahead.
In addition, since he was about to go on a field mission, he didn't have much to spend money on except purchasing necessary equipment.
After verifying the number of issues with yesterday's Deathrattle Tentacles, I was able to get about 20 points, and spending 5 points was completely acceptable.
"Okay, I'll return it. Let them go with you."
With the unexpected income, Garcia's attitude improved a lot, and he no longer cared how much money Cheng Ye could squeeze out of this family.
Collecting a city entrance fee was not a pleasant thing to do after all. Cheng Ye mistakenly thought that he was making things difficult for the Dong people, which gave him a way out. Otherwise, if this matter got to the ears of the top management of Hope City, someone would inevitably be in trouble.
"When you get out, get on my conveyor belt number 8 and I'll check your identification."
Cheng Ye gave some instructions and returned to his quarantine station to wait.
The old conveyor belt made a harsh squeaking sound, and the tracks slowly turned, and in less than a minute, the family was delivered.
Perhaps the nameless anger in my heart has not been extinguished, or perhaps I have waited too long to become stronger.
Cheng Ye felt a little dry in the mouth and became nervous for no reason.
"Listen carefully. Everyone in this world does everything for a purpose. I'm not saving you out of mercy. I have my own purpose as well."
"There's no entrance fee. All I need is for you to cooperate with me and answer my questions. Do you understand?"
Cheng Ye spoke first, taking the initiative.
The man nodded heavily with mixed emotions, his eyes flickering as he looked at Cheng Ye.
Although he had just arrived, he felt like he was being caught in a whirlpool. However, there was no way. In order to survive, he had to enter Happy City.
"Name! Think of it! I need to hear your real name!"
"Chu Yunfeng, Yu Qinghui."
"Where's the child?"
"Chu Xuan."
As expected, he was the person he picked. Cheng Ye looked at the panel and found that after answering the name, Chu Yunfeng's cooperation rate was only a pitiful 9%. The other two were even lower, one was 5% and the other was 0%.
No one knew what the kid had been taught, but he had no intention of cooperating with him as the prosecutor.
Fortunately, his target was only Chu Yunfeng, so it didn't matter how much cooperation the other two had.
"gender?"
"Um?"
Chu Yunfeng was stunned. "Is there any other gender in Happiness City?"
"I ask, you answer, you need to obey, don't try to ask me back, understand?"
Cheng Ye repeated the last three words again, his tone a little more emphasized.
"Male, female, male."
"Very good. Age?"
"34, 33, 6."
"Where are you from?"
"Red Grass City."
"where?"
Cheng Ye took out a map and flipped through it for a while before finding it. "Don't play tricks on me. Red Grass City is nearly 20,000 kilometers away from Xingfu City. Are you playing Monopoly in the wasteland?"
"Sir, this is indeed a long story..."
Chu Yunfeng's face turned bitter, as if he had expected the inspector to ask this question, and he answered honestly.
"My wife and I were sailors on the Red Grass City ocean-going fleet. We originally planned to travel to Hope City for trade, but while sailing, we encountered a unique infection we had never seen before. The result was heavy casualties among the crew, and the fleet lost its way in the panic, drifting at sea for nearly a year..."
When mentioning that dark time, Chu Yunfeng's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (Chuan).
"It wasn't until last month that we landed on the coast near Yangcheng. We heard that Xingfu City could accept refugees, so we rushed all the way here with all our might."
Oh my god, are you kidding me?
Cheng Ye shook his head secretly. Modern ocean-going ships have abundant supplies, and it is not certain that anyone can maintain a figure like Chu Yunfeng during a long voyage.
This kind of rhetoric can only fool those ignorant inspectors in small places.
However, we can see that the degree of coordination on the panel is still increasing and has reached 31%.
Cheng Ye said these are minor problems.
As long as you are willing to cooperate with this prosecutor, what does it matter if you tell a little lie?
"Okay, stop your story and pick up the measuring instrument on the table and tell me the number. You should be able to use these things, right?"
"meeting!"
Chu Yunfeng nodded decisively, instantly realizing that Cheng Ye didn't care about what he had just said.
This added a bit of new anxiety to his mind, which was already full of doubts.
Measure and count.
Cheng Ye lowered his head and pretended to take notes, but in fact he was staring at the changes in the numbers on the panel.
It wasn't until Chu Yunfeng's cooperation finally reached 50.1% that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, with the inspector's skin on, it was not difficult to gather 50% of the foreign survivors.
"grown ups?"
"Wait in the cage for a moment. I need to think carefully about your story."
Cheng Ye replied while using his mind to press the 'search' button for the first time in his life.
【Retriever: Chu Yunfeng】
[Current coordination rate: 51.8%]
[Currently searchable scope: Intelligence, Items, Skills]
[Search target confirmed: Skill (lv.1)]
【Searching....】
Lines of text flashed before my eyes.
It took about five seconds for a luxurious panel to pop up slowly, which made Cheng Ye's eyes widen.
【Chu Yunfeng】
[Level 1 Skills]: Water Skill, Beast Intuition, Night Vision, Basic Mechanical Repair, Quick Draw, Basic Strength, Basic Perception, Simple Medical Treatment, Basic Trap Making, Iron Foot, Basic Wilderness Survival, Basic Carpentry, Basic Camouflage
[lv.2 Skill]: Lock
[lv.3 Skill]: Lock
[lv.4 skill]: Lock
"Do, Do, Young Master?"
Cheng Ye almost thought he had seen it wrong, until he counted it again, and then he dared to confirm that Chu Yunfeng actually had thirteen first-level skills.
What's even more exaggerated is that this guy also possesses lv2, lv3, and even lv4 skills that are currently unsearchable.
Just these things shown are ten times more awesome than the invincible Joel in The Last of Us.
No, buddy, are you here to be the protagonist in Happiness City?
Cheng Ye felt a little embarrassed when his luck exploded and he reached the Golden Legend, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
Thirteen skills, what a happy trouble, which one should I choose?
Water skills, night vision, mechanical repair, medical care, traps, iron feet, wilderness survival, carpentry, camouflage, etc., which are obviously not combat-oriented, are excluded first. They will not bring much benefits in the short term and will have limited help in field work.
Cheng Ye hesitated for a moment before focusing on the remaining beast instincts, basic strength, basic perception, and quick gun drawing, then focused his control of thoughts.
The panel flashed, followed by an exciting success prompt.
【Search successful】
[Civilization Collector has successfully recorded: Basic Strength (lv.1)]
"It's done!"
A 50% success rate for the first try made Cheng Ye uncontrollably excited.
There will be another chance right after that, control your mind and click again.
The panel flickered.
Failed?
No!
【Search successful】
[Civilization Collector has successfully recorded: Beast Intuition (lv.1)]
"I won twice in a row. Today's wait was worth it. My luck has exploded!"
What changes will it bring if a blank board with no skills has two more skills, both of which are useful skills?
Cheng Ye's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to equip the skills right away.
Stay calm, you must stay calm, now is not the time to show up!
"Okay, you can go to the back to get your residency certificate."
I pressed the button to open the isolation cage, and the door creaked open from the inside out.
"ah?"
Chu Yunfeng was stunned. He never expected that it would be so easy to pass.
But he reacted quickly. After realizing that Cheng Ye was not joking, he immediately nodded, thanked him, and left with his wife and children.
"Hey, we'll definitely have a chance to meet again in the future."
Watching Chu Yunfeng's figure disappear from his sight, Cheng Ye turned his head and his smile became increasingly intense.
These 5 points are a great deal.
With the current search level, there is no way to deal with Chu Yunfeng.
But sooner or later, one day, he will be able to collect all the skills. When the time comes, when he equips three level 4 skills, won’t he hang Garcia up and beat him hard?
