Chapter 113 The Hunger Game (Part 7)
The problem of water was solved, but after getting excited, my stomach started to growl again.
Xia Yu felt something was wrong when he touched his empty stomach. He ate a meal this morning, ate a meal at around 10 o'clock, and ate another meal at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It's not yet five o'clock, why are he hungry again?
He remembered that when he loaded the skill card, he said that although it cannot provide nutrition, it can provide energy.
Besides, the leader’s water-making technique can quench thirst, and there is no reason why his own food-making technique can’t help but be hungry.
He carefully recalled the details of the skills loaded.
I vaguely remember that there seemed to be a prompt - since you have not mastered the ‘magic’, your food creation technique cannot obtain magical special effects and consumes additional mental power when using it.
What does this 'magic special effect' mean? Can food transformed with magic power be hungry? Food without magic can only be considered a phantom? It won't be so pitiful.
No matter what the truth is, he has no other way now. He can only create a large steak and chew it. His stomach soon became full again. However, this time, he did not have the feeling of satisfaction before, and he only had a sense of crisis.
No, I have to find a way to get food quickly, and I don’t know what other people are doing or how to get food.
Why not just go to someone else's place to check the enemy situation? If you have the chance, it would be nice to exchange for some food.
When he wanted to do it, Xia Yu emptied his backpack and used the dining technique to turn a few candy pieces. He only brought a bottle of water and a serrated saber to the road, and walked towards the leader's shelter.
Yesterday, the leader mentioned the location of the shelter to him, and the fire spot observed last night made Xia Yu easily find it.
The leader's shelter was chosen in the lobby of a bank. The upper part of the bank building had collapsed, but the bottom floor was still intact. It was far away. I saw a lot of fishing lines around, and there were empty bottles and empty jars hanging on it. I even had an alarm system. It was very creative, so I had to make one if I turned around.
On the open space outside the bank, there was a flagpole with a worn white sheet tied to it, and a bottle was drawn in very abstract brushstrokes, with two words [Water Station] written next to it. Xia Yu was speechless, and this girl was still starting a business.
After crossing the cordon, he pushed open the bank door, and a canned bell hung on the door. As soon as he opened the door, it clattered. When Xia Yu walked in, he heard a quarrel.
"Damn, you are robbing money!" It was Ergouzi's voice.
The leader's voice also rang out, "If you like to change, my price is absolutely fair."
Xia Yu walked in and saw a broken carpet on the dirty counter in the bank hall, with more than a dozen bottles of magic spring water on it. The leader sat behind with a smile, looking like he opened the door to do business.
There were a lot of scrapped miscellaneous items piled up behind the counter. Xia Yu noticed that there were two dead rats. Although they were not as big as the one he had encountered before, they were as big as a rabbit. The doctor next to him was peeling a rat with a knife. He was extremely focused with glasses, as if he was undergoing an operation.
Xia Yu licked his lips, and felt a little envious.
In front of the counter, Ergouzi stood there angrily with a dead mouse.
Bai Ye was carrying a rag bag with some things like plant rhizomes, and frowned as they watched the two argue.
Several people heard the doorbell and turned their heads to look at Xia Yu.
"Hey, traveler, come and change the water too. How about it? Have you figured it out?"
Seeing the leader's pride, Xia Yu felt relieved, and took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and said pitifully, "This is my only one. Can we pay in installments? Change one candy to a bottle of water, once a day."
The leader shook his head, "Sorry, my price has increased now. Now a bottle of water costs three yuan. For the sake of old friends, these five yuan candies are counted as two bottles of water for your old friend."
Xia Yu pretended to be angry and said, "You are starting a price."
The leader smiled slightly, "There is no way, the supply and demand relationship has changed. The market price is always determined based on the supply and demand relationship. Now I am the only one who can produce clean fresh water. Of course, the price is a little more expensive. If you don't accept it, you can drink water from the lake, which is free."
Ergouzi gritted his teeth in anger, "Damn, don't be too proud. The mechanic said he could make a water purifier. We might as well go to his place to change the water. Bai Ye, let's go!"
Bai Ye shook his head, "I'm sure that guy, who knows if the water purifier he made is good or not, and I'm in a hurry to use water. If you don't change it, just move away."
As he said that, he opened the cloth bag, "There are eight potatoes here, and carbohydrates provide more calories than protein, so let's get a price."
Ergouzi didn't dare to leave when he heard this. He gritted his teeth, "A dead mouse, add another knife, and replace you with four bottles of water. How about it? I'll take care of your business more in the future."
The leader smiled slightly, "Okay, for my friend's sake, there are only four bottles. In fact, your knife is not worth anything at all, and this mouse is worth a little."
The leader said as he carried four bottles of magic spring water and handed it over, and picked up the dead mouse and a fruit knife.
"Doctor, go to the warehouse."
"What about you, the traveler, have you thought about it? Will you change it?"
Xia Yu shook his head. He was not short of water, so there was no need to exchange it. He wanted to change some meat to eat, but he couldn't say it easily. If you take out a lot of food to exchange, it would be not cost-effective, and it would be easy to see the flaws.
Looking at Xia Yu's departure back, the leader smiled proudly, and he didn't believe you and didn't submit. Sooner or later, the candy belongs to me.
He asked the doctor to discuss the transaction with Bai Ye, turned around and opened his backpack, preparing to break a small piece of the chocolate from yesterday to enjoy. However, after flipping through the bag, the chocolate disappeared.
"Doctor!" He shouted, and the doctor who was trading with Bai Ye hurriedly ran in. What's wrong with the leader?
"Did you touch my bag?"
The doctor shook his head, "No, why do you take care of me?"
"Why is the chocolate I exchanged for from the traveler yesterday gone? It's only me and you here, not what you took?"
The doctor's expression remained unchanged, and spread his hands and said, "I definitely didn't take it. We were together all day long. Can you find out if you took it? Could it be that the mouse stole it?"
"Can the mouse still zip it?"
The doctor thought for a while, "Will the traveler change into food like you? I remember there is a skill called phimosis in World of Warcraft. Could it be that chocolate changed by him, and then it disappeared as time came."
The leader immediately refuted, "It's impossible. The traveler was not a mage in the last game, and the chance of getting food production was almost negligible. Besides, food production can only make bread and snacks, and chocolate is no longer included. Besides, if he can really make food, he will definitely make a lot of things to exchange with me. How could he not even be willing to give up a few pieces of candy?"
The doctor spread his hands and said, "I didn't take it anyway." He stopped explaining anything, turned around and went to negotiate a deal with Bai Ye.
The leader was a little annoyed and looked at the doctor. He also felt that the doctor was not like the kind of person who steals things, but there were only two of them here. Who else could it be if he didn't steal it?
Humph, forget it, it's just a piece of chocolate. Anyway, there's a lot of rat meat now, enough.
