Everyone split up into teams, and Bai Jing waved to Niu Yuan and Xu Le again:
"Old Cow, Xu Le is a newcomer, you keep an eye on him."
Bai Jing specifically reminded Niu Yuan. This ridiculously strong man patted Xu Le's shoulder so hard that Xu Le almost couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat him as my lover."
Lover? Xu Le looked at Niu Yuan's figure and confident smile, and her anus suddenly tightened.
Bai Jing nodded and looked at Xu Le:
"Xu Le, come here."
"Ah? Okay."
Xu Le walked to Bai Jing obediently, and Bai Jing pulled him to her ear and whispered:
"Xu Le, you have to be careful too. You are a smart person and very capable. Smart people tend to talk to each other in a simple way.
Unlike them, they have to be coaxed to go on a mission, especially Gu Beichen, who always can't figure it out.
If you encounter a situation in the wild that you cannot handle and explain, you are on your own.
This is the power you and Gan both have, the power of the warlock, do you understand?"
What Bai Jing meant was that if she felt that Niu Yuan's behavior was unreasonable, could she act on her own
This is indeed a very great power, but if you act on your own in the wild and create disagreements, it can easily cause danger and even lead to the destruction of your teammates.
Judging the behavior of team members is also extremely important!
"I understand, Captain."
"Okay, go ahead."
Bai Jing patted Xu Le, and Xu Le realized that the smell of cigarettes mixed with the smell of women's perfume on Bai Jing was a little strange...
The smell of cigarettes and perfume seemed to appear to cover up another smell.
Before, Xu Le was not close enough, so he had never smelled it, but this time he smelled it clearly.
But Bai Jing had already walked away, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After returning to Niu Yuan's side, Xu Le nodded to Li Shunliu, and Li Shunliu also smiled at him.
Niu Yuan packed up his luggage and weapons and said loudly:
"Okay, third block, get ready to go."
"good."
Just as Xu Le was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Shunliu. This taciturn woman shook her head at Xu Le.
Although Xu Le was on the same team as her and had saved her once, he and Li Shunliu had spoken no more than three times in the past month.
"Mr. Xu Le, please walk in the middle."
"gentlemen?"
Xu Le was a little surprised by this title, but Li Shunliu didn't care.
"This is the privilege of the warlock. It is our responsibility as warriors to protect the warlock."
"Is that so? I understand."
Seeing the other party's serious look, Xu Le knew that there was no point in saying more at this time, so he could only stand obediently in the middle of the team and began their exploration.
At the beginning, no one knew each other, so no one spoke, only Niu Yuan chatted from time to time.
So they moved quickly and efficiently, and in less than 10 minutes they reached the first building, which looked like an old-fashioned convenience store.
Niu Yuan raised his hand to the two people behind him, signaling them to stop.
"Well, for a newcomer, you've performed pretty well so far. At least you haven't asked any stupid questions."
"What a stupid question?"
Xu Le suddenly realized that this question itself was stupid, but Niu Yuan laughed:
"At least you're not like the previous ones. They actually asked why the guards weren't allowed to carry out the pioneer mission. Do you think these people are idiots?"
Xu Le nodded. He understood that Niu Yuan wanted to warn him in this way.
But the way this guy speaks is a bit exaggerated.
Xu Le half explained and half popularized science, and expressed his own understanding:
"The main reason why we can't let the guards come is mental energy. Ordinary people have no way to restrain mental energy. The guards are better, but they are still not comparable to the Night Watch.
During the black tide, they could still handle it with concentrated firepower, but when exploring unknown areas, the guards themselves could not remain emotionally stable.
Excessive mental energy will cause strange things to happen, this is a very simple truth."
Niu Yuan nodded. Xu Le's quality was surprisingly good, and he did not have the annoying arrogance of other warlocks, such as Gu Beichen!
"Very good, I think you would be a good teammate. Keep a certain distance and we can go in together. Is that ok?"
Li Shunliu nodded, and Xu Le had no objection:
"That's fine with me."
But he pulled out an Ancient Sound Card and took a casual look at it.
White Card-Coin
Positive: ordinary, common, common.
The reverse side: destiny.
"It's normal, this result is not bad."
Xu Le did not do divination because Gan had repeatedly warned him not to do divination on things beyond his control.
Especially when one does not have sufficient strength, predicting unknown areas and unknown monsters in the wild is a very dangerous behavior.
Known and unknown are two concepts in themselves.
So he just casually calculated it for himself.
It's basically verbal fortune telling.
Niu Yuan was in front and Li Shunliu was behind. Both of them were holding knives, although the revolver was also very powerful.
However, the strength and skills of the extraordinary people themselves have made their melee combat ability as powerful as firearms.
However, Xu Le, who was standing in the middle, took out his gun obediently and smeared some strange ashes on the bullet.
Walking into the room, Xu Le's head was throbbing at the unusually quiet atmosphere.
There were still some scattered items on the supermarket shelves. Most of the metal products had rusted, but some plastic and synthetic material items were intact.
However, these things are also covered with a lot of dust, and some even have moss and green plants growing on them.
Niu Yuan used a knife to pull down everything on the shelves. Xu Le didn't know the meaning of his doing so.
As a newcomer, it is better for him to keep quiet.
"The main thing is to see if there are any moonstones, which are the red stones."
"Understood."
The three of them came to a door. Although the door was not broken, it was very fragile. Niu Yuan kicked it open easily.
"Investigate."
"yes."
Looking inside, this seems to be the staff office, and there are several skeletons on the desk.
The strange thing is that the hair of these skeletons has not been corroded and is a very shiny white.
Everyone has it, like a wig that's put on specially.
"The hair is weird."
"It's been hundreds of years. It's really strange that it can still be here. Let's continue to check."
Xu Le nodded, scanned the area with the ancient sound multi-vision, and nodded to Niu Yuan after confirming that there was no possibility of distortion.
“There shouldn’t be any distortion issues.”
Next, Niu Yuan checked the employee locker room, lounge, and toilet, and came out only after making sure there was no danger.
But at this moment Xu Le suddenly raised his gun and pointed it at Niu Yuan.
To be precise, he was not referring to Niu Yuan, but the glass behind Niu Yuan!
"What?"
"Get out of the way."
Niu Yuan immediately turned sideways, and the glass at the toilet door shattered. Xu Le fired directly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bullets shattered the arm that was sticking out of the glass, but it continued to stretch out, trying to grab Niu Yuan's body.
Niu Yuan turned his head, narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, swung his knife and chopped off the arm.
That wasn't the end yet, he chopped at the wall directly, and the huge force even shattered the thin wall panel.
The knife broke through the stones and steel bars and blew the head of the zombie inside the glass.
After killing the zombies, Niu Yuan did not forget to spit.
"Damn, you scared me. How did you find out?"
The glass was very airtight, and even Niu Yuan didn't notice the zombie hiding behind the glass. If it weren't for Xu Le, he might have been scratched.
Although it is not a big deal for a warrior to be scratched by a zombie, various inspections, disinfection, and mental energy neutralization are necessary.
Xu Le's actions really helped a lot.
"I can see it from this angle. I'm just lucky."
Do you mean I can see more ancient sounds? Xu Le shook his head.
After saying that, Xu Le looked at the glass again and nodded at it:
"Look there."
Li Shunliu and Niu Yuan turned their heads and saw that there was a rotating handle inside the glass wall.
"organ?"
"It's been so many years, and I don't know if it will work."
"You'll know if you try it."
Niu Yuan turned the mechanism, and the expected secret door and secret room did not appear, but the partition on the glass side was opened.
There was a small leather bag and a box inside, which felt like a place to hide private money.
The three of them looked at each other, and Niu Yuan took out the briefcase and opened it first.
There were a lot of banknotes inside, of course they were not from this era, they looked like they were from the Third Age.
These banknotes might have some collection value. Niu Yuan was about to take them, but when he touched them, he found that these banknotes were rotten like ashes.
"Fuck, what a waste."
After throwing away the briefcase, Niu Yuan looked at the box again. After Xu Le and Li Shunliu nodded, he opened it.
As soon as the box was opened, a faint golden light sprinkled on the faces of the three people, and three neatly arranged gold bars appeared in their sight.
Under the gold bar, there was an unknown booklet.
"Gold!" Li Shunliu and Niu Yuan said at the same time.
Even in the dark ages of the Quaternary, gold was still a very rare precious metal.
It not only plays the role of making the core parts of many Zion equipment, but also serves as the refining material for many alchemists and puppeteers.
The current price of gold is about 9 yuan per gram. If calculated based on purchasing power, this price of gold is much more expensive than Xu Le's previous life.
"It should be a small gold bar of 100 grams each."
Niu Yuan was about to reach out for the three gold bars, but Xu Le said at this time:
"Wait, the gold bars are yours, I want the booklet."
After hearing what he said, Niu Yuan and Li Shunliu immediately frowned, and Niu Yuan asked in confusion:
"What is a booklet?"
Sure enough, such seemingly contrasting requirements always attracted other people's special attention, but Xu Le did not hide it:
“It should be an ancient relic. It’s unknown whether it has been unlocked, so I want to take a gamble.
I'll give up the gold bars and get the booklet. If you guys want to gamble with me, I have no objection."
Xu Le was very frank, which made Niu Yuan hesitate.
Li Shunliu didn't have any objections. She just shook her head:
"Okay, I don't want the book, I just want the gold."
If Xu Le didn't want the gold, she could get 150 grams of gold, which is at least 1,350 yuan.
They are warriors and cannot apply for resources like sorcerers. 1,350 yuan is a considerable income for a warrior.
Compared with Li Shunliu's decisiveness, Niu Yuan, a rough-looking man, hesitated.
It is hard to say the value of the ancient Yinduo relics.
Unsealed relics are worthless and can only be considered collectibles.
Even if it is an unsealed relic, we still need to look at its specific efficacy and development.
The expensive ones can cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, while the cheap ones can be bought for just a few thousand yuan.
But Xu Le looked indifferent, was he really taking a gamble
Why doesn't he believe it!
"You really don't want gold?"
"I really don't want to."
The more indifferent Xu Le was, the more hesitant Niu Yuan became.
In the Night Watch's pioneer mission, the loot is 100% owned. Even if it is necessary artifacts or things of historical value, the Lighthouse will purchase them in full.
So Niu Yuan didn't know for a moment whether he should choose the booklet or the gold.
But soon, Xu Le's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Even if you choose the booklet, it will be between the two of us who will divide the booklet. We have to go back and divide it."
Niu Yuan was stunned, but finally chose gold.
"You're right, I want gold."
Because this was the first time the three of them were working together and they were not familiar with each other, conflicts could easily arise over the distribution of the spoils.
Being able to distribute the spoils peacefully now would naturally be the best outcome.
If not, then you can only take the things back and ask Bai Jing to distribute them.
But then, trust among the three would become a problem.
Even now, Niu Yuan should be feeling a little nervous.
So what Xu Le needs to do next is to eliminate these discomforts.
“Thank you, Brother Niu. I’ll go back and show it to Teacher Gan. If I win the bet, I’ll treat you to a meal.
If you lose the bet, haha, you will understand the quality of a gambler. "
Looking at Xu Le's extremely natural smile, Niu Yuan also smiled. He suddenly felt that Xu Le was a good guy.
At least they were honest and sincere, and they gave the gold to people when they wanted it.
As a senior, what else can he say
"Tsk, why would I bother with you?"
The atmosphere became harmonious again, and the corners of Xu Le's mouth began to rise slightly.
He glanced at the booklet in his hand.
A fantasy ledger
Guyinduo-TU level
Dream of turning stone into gold: injecting ancient sound energy, turning a stone into 100 grams of gold,
Bookkeeping: Bookkeeping can only be done once a month.
The owner of the account book is thinking: Life is so hard, I wish my account book could make money on its own.
…
Is 100 grams of gold a lot? Of course not, only about 900 yuan.
Therefore, Xu Le felt that this kind of ordinary ancient musical relic was most suitable for him.
After putting away the account book, Xu Le walked in the middle of the team with a smile on his face.
Start exploring Block 53.
Bai Jing was right. Urban areas were indeed where relics were most likely to appear.
The creation of relics requires strong desire and thoughts, and most of the people who can meet these conditions are only humans.
Apart from the incident at the first supermarket, there were no problems with the next few stores they eliminated.
Occasionally, one or two deformed species were encountered on the street, but they were easily dealt with by Niu Yuan and Li Shunliu.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the three decided to eat something and take a short rest.
"Ten minutes' rest."
"good."
The three of them sat in the sun, each taking out compressed dry food, water, and some of their favorite snacks.
We started chatting about random things.
"Xu Le, do you know what it means when Widow Wu crawled into my arms and said she was cold and felt the wind when I was lying in bed reading at night?"
"Who is Widow Wu?" Li Shunliu suddenly asked.
"Don't worry about who Widow Wu is. I'm asking about the content of what I just said."
Xu Le pondered for a while, then looked up and said seriously:
"Nothing but smoke?"
Niu Yuan's eyes lit up.
Alas!
