All 3.4 million credits and two strange coins were exchanged for beast meat.
And all of them are level three ferocious beast meat.
But the result of the transaction seemed strange. It took a total of 3.4 million credits from the No. 17 security zone in exchange for 5 pounds, 2 taels, and three-level ferocious beast meat, and it was of average quality among the three-level ferocious beast meat, because according to the shop owner, three-level ferocious beast meat was of average quality. The best quality of level 4 ferocious beast meat is the heart, and you can charge money according to the level of level 4 ferocious beast meat.
Then the meat of the limbs is not bad, the worst is usually the corner meat, such as the neck, scalp meat, anyway, some insignificant places.
However, this is not absolute. Except for heart muscle and limb meat, the change of meat quality still depends on the characteristics of the ferocious beast.
Well, even if the quality of more than 5 kilograms of Level 3 ferocious beast meat is average, it would still be Level 3 ferocious beast meat, if it weren't for the fact that Su Yao's badge level reached the second-class VIP level, and he also took out those two strange coins. , these 3.4 million credit points cannot be exchanged for ferocious beast meat under any circumstances.
However, 3.4 million to 2, which seems to be a very different value, is exactly what those two strange coins exchanged for eight pounds of level three ferocious beast meat.
And they were all limb meat of excellent quality. Even so, the fat shop owner looked a little happy. He inexplicably put together a small piece of bright red dried meat, saying it was heart muscle, and gave it to Su Yao.
Since the muscles of level three ferocious beasts are very tight, when the shop owner wrapped the ferocious beast meat and sent Su Yao and the two out, it seemed that Su Yao and Tang Ling were only carrying a very small bag.
A little more than 13 kilograms of dried meat, which is about the size of three or four palms, but the portion is very heavy.
The two of them walked all the way back to the bar they entered before without staying at Madam's Black Market.
Su Yao seemed to have something to say to Tang Ling. When he arrived at the bar, he didn't rush back. Instead, he asked the strange owner of the bar to mix two glasses of sweet leaf wine, and sat opposite Tang Ling in the same corner as last time.
Tang Ling remained silent all the way, his hands trembling slightly as he sipped the sweet leaf wine that was slightly sweet in the mouth but bitter in the throat.
He wanted to ask Su Yao to borrow 100,000 points of credit, but he didn't expect that Su Yao would spend so much money to buy himself the meat of a vicious beast.
He had no idea about money, especially credit points, because the crystallization gained from the last hunt and the mission in the warehouse area was also exchanged for 5 pounds of second-level ferocious beast meat.
Yu didn't tell him the value of these points when converted into credits.
It turns out that ferocious beast meat requires so many credits? It turns out that even if you have credits, you may not be able to get ferocious beast meat, right
Did he drain all Uncle Su Yao's savings? And he was also allowed to use the privileges of a second-level VIP? It’s not easy to accumulate such permissions, right
Especially those two precious coins, even Tang Ling didn't know what they were from beginning to end? But its preciousness is unquestionable.
With so many moving emotions piling up in his heart, Tang Ling, who had turned into a 'little scoundrel' on weekdays, couldn't say anything.
He could only admit it in his own heart, decide it, and decide that even if the hatred in his future life was resolved, there was no need to be confused because he now had an extra family member, a family member who was as important as his mother-in-law and sister - Su Yao.
This decision seems too plain, without any moving words, and the excitement of expressing feelings and remembering gratitude.
But for Tang Ling, this was the most solemn and profound way.
"What are you thinking about? Boy." Su Yao took a few sips of wine, seemed to relax a little, and slapped Tang Ling on the back.
"Did I spend a lot of money on you?" Tang Ling looked up.
"A lot? Of course! Those 3.4 million credits are all my credits. But" Su Yao put down his wine glass, took out two cigarettes he got from Madam's black market, gave one to Tang Ling and said, "Yes Who cares about the credits of Security Zone 17? Are there any professionals of great value here? How much do you think its currency is worth? It’s just a poor little corner.”
"I just earned these 3.4 million credits casually." Su Yao said it very lightly, but there was a hint of sadness between his brows, but Tang Ling didn't know where this sadness came from.
"But those two coins?" Tang Ling asked again.
"Yes, that's the key. Those two 'Zhengjing coins' cost almost two-thirds of my savings." As Su Yao spoke, he took it out of his arms, and another identical coin appeared. In his hands.
It still looks like that, a small transparent round coin with a green jade inlaid in the middle.
"This is also left for you. With this Zhengjing coin. When you need to leave the No. 17 safe zone one day, you don't have to worry about running out of money." Su Yao held a cigarette in his mouth and squinted his eyes. This was his most important thing. With a common expression of thinking, he put the Zhengjing coin, which still had his body temperature, into Tang Ling's hand.
Tang Ling didn't answer.
Su Yao forced it into his hand, but quickly took it back: "I won't give it to you now, I just want you to feel what real money feels like."
Tang Lingling was happy, this is how he looks like the real Su Yao.
But he was still worried. He asked: "I have exchanged the money for resources. Uncle, will you have no money to use? Don't you want to practice? It will consume a lot of resources, right?"
"Me? In Safe Zone No. 17, I can live freely however I want. Whether it's credit points or even hope points, if I want them, I will spend them all today and have a lot tomorrow. Besides, I I won't leave some behind." Su Yao seemed unwilling to answer Tang Ling's question about his own cultivation, but talked about something else, and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket as he spoke.
He opened the rope of the bag, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured out a small pile of coins, about forty or fifty, from inside.
Tang Ling looked at the same thing. Most of these coins were different, and he didn't know where they were from.
In short, Tang Ling didn't know him.
Su Yao picked up the wine glass and drank the sweet leaf wine in it. Then he took a long breath and said, "I told you, this world is very big. These coins are the coins of various power organizations. Of course, they It’s not as hard to pass as Zhengjing coins, but any one of them needs to be exchanged for credits in the No. 17 security zone, which is at least 500,000 credits, so not many people are willing to exchange it.”
"You, don't worry that I don't have money." Su Yao blinked, looking very proud.
"Then give me two or three?" Tang Ling smiled playfully.
As a result, Su Yao kicked the stool away and fell to the ground again.
The two bickered for a while before they became quiet again. Su Yao collected the coins on the table one by one, and then solemnly took the Zhengjing coin in his hand.
"This is a Zhengjing coin with a face value of 100 Zhengjing points. Do you know why it is a hard currency? It is a hard currency wherever you go in the world." Holding the coin, Su Yao suddenly asked Tang Ling.
"Perhaps this place called Zhengjing is very powerful?" This is a simple principle of currency, because currency itself has no value, or it has little value.
It only represents a kind of credit. In this troubled world, the currency that can be hard-coupled must be currency issued by an extremely powerful force, because it represents the credit of that powerful force.
It was a very simple truth that Tang Ling could easily think of.
"Yes, very powerful. The capital city is said to be invincible." Su Yao stretched his body and put his feet on the table, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
And Tang Ling looked at the window of the bar, the small piece of sky exposed in the window, and Ziyue who happened to be there, with longing in his eyes - Zhengjing, what kind of place is it? Can it be said that Zhengjing City will not fall? In this precarious era, with animal tides, insect plagues, and even inexplicable natural disasters emerging one after another, how can we not fall
Just like Safe Zone No. 17, they concentrated most of their efforts on the Barrier of Hope, but they still struggled in the ruins of the battlefield for so long, with no sign of relief at all.
Tang Ling wanted to visit Zhengjing City in his lifetime.
Tossing the Zhengjing Coin in his hand again, Su Yao continued: "What you said before is correct. It is the main reason why the Zhengjing Coin is hard to pass. But there is also a secondary reason. Do you know what it is?"
Su Yao's finger traced the crystal clear outer ring of the Zhengjing coin.
Tang Ling shook his head.
"Silly, this is a crystal. A good crystal! Are you asking if there are no purple threads? Because in this era, people have discovered a strange thing, that is, jade can gather energy. Maybe for other energies, it is negligible. But for the most important purple energy from heaven and earth, its concentration effect is particularly obvious." Su Yao took a puff of cigarette and said a few words to Tang Ling.
Tang Ling immediately said: "Are you saying that the purple silk in the good crystal is the purple energy, and then it is gathered on it by the jade inlaid in the middle of the Zhengjing coin?"
"Yes! The better the quality of the jade, the higher the energy-gathering effect. This Zhengjing coin with a face value of 100 uses high-quality crystals on the outer edge, and the jade inlaid in the middle is of high quality. Nowadays, jade is also a strategic resource, understand. So, the Zhengjing coin itself is also very valuable, and it is definitely not cost-effective to imitate it.”
"At a critical moment, crushing the jade in the middle can also absorb the energy in it. The energy transformed by the jade will become gentle. Of course, you are not even a first-order Purple Moon warrior now. For you, this energy, There is no way to absorb it.”
"Besides, absorbing energy is a last resort. It's more cost-effective to spend it as money."
Su Yao only told Tang Ling about the Zhengjing coins as an anecdote, but such anecdotes were the most exciting things.
It stimulates people to yearn for this world even more.
Tang Ling looked at Zhengjing Coin with eager eyes. This was not greed for money, but greed for the world. He really wanted to get out of the No. 17 Safe Zone and take a look.
Seeing Tang Ling's eyes like this, the trace of sadness in Su Yaomei's eyes became more solemn.
He ordered another glass of sweet leaf wine, drank it in one gulp, and suddenly said to Tang Ling in a rare emotional tone: "Boy, my ability is really not strong. In fact, every step you take is very difficult. You are still fighting for the meat of some ferocious beasts, and you are still in danger at any time. You are very smart, and you understand that your surroundings are not peaceful."
"If I were stronger, these injustices would be much less common. Because I can make you more thoughtful."
"But, I will also comfort myself to suffer some hardships. Growing up in a crisis may be a good thing? But I don't know if this kind of comfort is right."
"When you look back one day, I just want you to understand that I was trying my best."
While talking, Su Yao took a long puff of cigarette and looked at Tang Ling.
I don't know why, but these words of Su Yao made Tang Ling feel severe pain in his heart, and he even felt a little angry. He looked at Su Yao and said, "Uncle, why do you say these stupid things?"
"This is really stupid, you know? Don't take the things that I care about most and regard them as something else? I mean the meat of ferocious beasts, dangers and the like, I don't care ." Tang Ling's inability to express himself became apparent at this time.
He was incoherent. He just wanted to say that in his opinion, Su Yao gave him friendship, which was more important than anything else.
"I don't need to understand it later, I understand it now." Tang Ling clenched his fists and his face turned red. He really didn't know what to say.
With a 'pop' sound, Su Yao kicked Tang Ling's stool away again, and cursed with a vicious face: "You brat, the courage Liang Jingru gave you, do you dare to call me stupid?"
Tang Ling fell to the ground and was obviously in pain, but he smiled at this moment. He got up, pulled back the stool and sat down again, and asked, "Who is Liang Jingru?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it's a popular saying in pre-civilization." Su Yao always talks like this, just say it without explanation.
But at the end, he suddenly explained: "Actually, I was just sighing with emotion, you don't need to pay attention."
"After all, this world is too unfair. You see, this Zhengjing coin that I value is very precious. Maybe, I just mean maybe, in the hands of some people who are only one or two years older than you, you can take it at any time Come and reward others.”
"For example, someone opened the car door for him on the street. In fact, in my opinion, such a boy is not better than you. You will be very strong. Even if the conditions we face can only be like this ." Su Yao rambled, speaking vaguely.
Tang Ling raised his eyebrows: "Of course he's not better than me. But, where is this young man? I want to hold the car door for him."
"MD, can you still be promising?" Su Yao had veins pulsing on his forehead.
**
Lorna loved moments like this.
Seeing Su Yao and Tang Ling, two men, one big and one small, sitting in front of her eating, watching them devouring their food, watching them paying close attention, watching the amount of food piled on the table quickly shrinking, she felt inexplicable. Peace of mind.
"Is the way men eat really different from women's?" Lorna smiled. She had forgotten to eat, but Tang Ling put a piece of meat in her bowl before she realized it.
She felt very happy.
She was so happy that she began to have extravagant hopes, hoping that the relationship between her and Su Yao, which was originally so unserious and started out of 'flirting' and some precious meat, would come to a conclusion.
She accompanied Su Yao and gave birth to several children for him.
Then one day, Su Yao was there, and Tang Ling, a lovable young man, was also there. He would be the children's older brother.
Then the family gathers together and eats like this, which is her happy life from now on.
This thought made Lorna feel very happy. After Tang Ling and Su Yao finished eating, she tidied up diligently, her steps as light as a butterfly.
"Sleep here and let Lorna open a room for you. You are a rich young man with 120,000 credit points." Su Yao glanced sideways at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling wanted to slap himself a few times, 'to make you show off, to make you ignorant'.
"I have to pay back the money, since it's not used." Tang Ling didn't want to owe so much money for no reason.
"Stop talking nonsense. You pay back less first, and then give back the profits to others. I am very poor now that you are exploiting me." Su Yao scolded Tang Ling until he shut up.
Afterwards, Tang Ling stayed at a luxury hotel.
This was the place he was most familiar with.
The bed that was not too soft made Tang Ling feel at ease. He slept until dawn and did not wake up until the communicator rang. The luxurious sleep made Tang Ling extremely satisfied.
Yang Kong naturally informed Tang Ling that he could come to practice.
A full eighteen hours have passed since yesterday evening, and the other members of the Raptors team have all completed their training.
"Practice?" Tang Ling was still yearning for it in his heart. After packing everything, including the beast meat that Su Yao bought for him, Tang Ling quickly ran towards the inner city and went straight to the Hall of Glory.
At the entrance of the Hall of Glory, Yang Kong was waiting for Tang Ling. When Tang Ling appeared, he took him directly to the top floor.
"It's your first time practicing, don't have too big ambitions." Yang Kong suddenly said to Tang Ling before walking to the room with the genetic calculator.
"Is it because of the bad results of practicing to be a master?" Tang Ling was somewhat worried about the members of his team.
In fact, not all the other members of the Raptor Team have completed their training so far, because there is only so much time at night. Only Amir, Wei An, Christina and Andy have completed their training.
Yu and Auston chose tonight.
Yang Kong's original phone call was to ask Tang Ling to start practicing tonight, so that he could get ready and set a time. Who would have thought that this inexplicable boy said that it didn't matter if he practiced now, and then rushed over.
"That's not true. In my opinion, the team members have already done better than most of the boys in the First Reserve Battalion in their first training."
"It's just that everyone wants to practice condensing vortex for the first time. How is that possible?" Yang Kong explained casually.
"Then, has anyone succeeded?" Tang Ling understood everyone's thoughts.
"No, only Amir is close to success. His first whirlpool has already taken a rough shape." After saying this, Yang Kong paused for a moment and continued to Tang Ling: "You really don't have to worry about the whirlpool. It was said that from the beginning to the present, only two people in the First Preparatory Battalion have succeeded.”
"Who?" Tang Ling frowned and asked casually subconsciously. He was thinking about other things.
Amir has condensed into the prototype of a vortex? This is not a very good thing. At least the initial training methods of "Supplement" are quite different from those of Safe Zone 17.
Tang Ling had been hesitating about something in his heart. He wanted to make a decision, but he didn't dare to be rash.
"Amber and Henk, these are the only two successful people in the first reserve camp." Yang Kong obviously didn't know what Tang Ling was thinking, so he directly named the two successful people.
"Oh." Tang Ling clearly didn't care.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the room where the genetic calculator was.
Maybe it's because everyone has finished practicing and has gone home. Anyway, there are only two people in this room, Yang Kong and Tang Ling.
Yangkong began to adjust the genetic calculator. Perhaps because of Feilong's preference for Tang Ling, Yangkong couldn't help but remind Tang Ling: "Remember, try to close your body at the beginning and let the energy wash through it. Your genetic chain Although your talent is average, you should also understand that this only refers to the way forward in theory and will not affect your cultivation speed. "
"Yeah." Tang Ling was a little absent-minded. Did he close his body? He might not do that. After having the resources, Tang Ling had already decided on the direction. He would choose the training method in the "Supplement" to practice the Thousand Satin Technique.
I'm really sorry, I might disappoint Yang Kong again.
Moreover, according to the method of "Addendum", not only will no progress be seen in the early stage, but it will actually set yourself back.
Of course, if resources are properly replenished, the regression will not be too obvious, or at all.
But in general, if you want to make progress, don’t expect too much.
"It's better not to explain." Tang Ling could only think this way. He originally wanted to keep a low profile and had always been the leader of the First Preparatory Battalion. Now it makes sense to start to become a real leader through training.
Don't worry about other people's eyes.
At this time, Yang Kong had already adjusted the genetic calculator, and Tang Ling was about to enter.
Yang Kong worriedly warned again: "Remember to close your body. Although there will be some pain when the energy starts to wash away, it is nothing compared to the results of cultivation."
Yang Kong's eyes were sincere, making Tang Ling feel slightly guilty.
But there are some things that should never be said, so Tang Ling didn't dare to look at Yang Kong, so he could only lower his head and say 'hmm' in a low voice.
"Go in." Yang Kong nodded, and Tang Ling walked into the genetic calculator and sat down cross-legged.
But at this time, Yang Kong had not started to activate the genetic calculator. He squatted down and asked Tang Ling: "The time is not so good now. Are you sure you don't need to wait until night?"
Yang Kong still didn't understand why Tang Ling insisted on practicing at such an inexplicable time. Did he give up on himself
Therefore, he was hinting to Tang Ling along the way that it was not necessarily because of his genetic talent.
"It doesn't matter, just do it now. What does it matter if you have more energy or less energy? Can you still absorb all the energy in the world with your first practice?" Tang Ling looked very indifferent.
In fact, the energy at night was thick, but thick meant that it was a little more violent, which was not the best for the practice method Tang Ling chose.
For this reason, even if it is considered to be self-abandonment, it can only be left unexplained.
Tang Ling crossed his legs and closed his eyes, ready to start practicing. Then he sighed in the air and turned on the genetic calculator with some regret in his heart.
Tang Ling officially started his first practice, a first practice that was destined to be 'disappointing'.
