Chapter 10
Nijiu sniffed the smell in the air, and agreed with the man's statement: "I smell it too, it should be the smell of Zerg stimulants. It smells very strong and pungent."
man:"……"
Nijiu, in terms of destroying the atmosphere, is a first-class king.
Nijiu didn't smell it wrong, the peculiar strong spicy smell really came from the auction table.On the auction stage was a safe half the height of a person, inside which were neatly placed thousands of test tubes.Although the test tube was tightly plugged, the scent of the stimulant still leaked through the cracks and drifted into the underground auction house.
The strong fragrance spread everywhere, and a pet lizard became restless when it smelled it.It jumped out of the owner's hand, "hissed" and ran around at the feet of everyone.
Nijiu looked at the excited lizard: "It just smelled a little and it became like this. The effect of the medicine is a bit scary."
Nijiu's feet were numb from squatting, he poked his head out quietly, and looked at the senior a few meters away.The senior was also attracted by the lizard and stopped looking at the auctioneer.
Nijiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's stand up, we are already safe."
The two sat back on their chairs.With the dim light, Nijiu found that the man's sleeves had been rubbed with dust, he reached out to pat the dust off, and said, "I'm sorry, please accompany me to do this kind of thing."
The man didn't speak, but just glanced at Nijiu lightly.
"Now, let's enter the end of the auction—on the display stand, there are stimulants from the Zerg. There are a total of [-] bottles, which are enough for ten years!" The auctioneer waved his arm and pulled the injection out of the safe. , "Everyone's goal must be this box of stimulants, right?"
Hearing the auctioneer's agitation, there was a commotion in the audience, and the impatient people had already raised their hands and started bidding.The security personnel raised their laser guns one after another to prevent people from looting the auction items.
The quantity of that box of potions far exceeded Nijiu's guess.It is roughly estimated that there are at least a thousand bottles.
Nijiu looked at the large box of reagents, and became more and more puzzled: "Three thousand bottles of Zerg medicine, how did they sneak in here? We must not make it ourselves."
The man answered: "Impossible. Humans cannot obtain raw materials, so stimulants are priceless."
Nijiu nodded: "That's right... I didn't see any shops selling stimulants just now. This should be a very rare commodity."
The senior didn't move at all, and Nijiu noticed that he was clenching the hand holding the bidding card through the flickering lights.Nijiu has been paying attention to every move of the senior, and finds that he is completely opposite to the excited crowd around him, and he seems to have no idea of participating in the auction.
"Senior didn't bid for the auction, isn't the target a stimulant?"
The man frowned unconsciously when he heard Nijiu say "Senior".But he still answered Nijiu's question: "Impossible, the stimulant is the final auction item."
"That's weird..."
When the two were talking, the senior suddenly put down the bidding card and stood up from his seat.Several youths walking with him stretched out their hands to stop him, and there was a vague voice of dispute:
"Wait a minute... just left like this?... haven't bought it yet."
"...Everyone uses it, if you don't use it, how can you win the championship..."
Despite being obstructed, the senior firmly pushed his companion away and walked towards the exit of the trading ground.
"Leaving? Maybe I gave up my plan to buy things." Nijiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the man sitting beside him, "Or, let's take the opportunity to sneak away. The smell here is too strong, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
He left the trading field with the man and returned to the ground the same way.
As they passed the narrow stairs, Neito noticed the man staring at her.He felt his gaze, and touched his cheek in doubt: "Why stare at me, is there still ashes on my face?"
The man didn't answer him and looked away.After a long while, he asked without beginning or end: "Do you have a good relationship with him?"
"Who?...Ah, you mean the senior?" Nijiu is used to the man's way of thinking, "No, I only met a few times. What's the matter?"
The man's voice was a little muffled: "It's nothing, just ask."
The two had been silent before, and Nijiu guessed that he was deliberately looking for topics to chat.In order not to let the man's efforts go to waste, Nijiu chatted along this topic: "I met my senior on the first day of school. He has a good personality and works hard in his studies. To be honest, I don't think he will buy illegal drugs." By the way, he even lent me the optical brain charger on the first day of school..."
However, listening to Nijiu's chanting, the man's face became more and more gloomy.
Nijiu didn't realize it: "...If the senior didn't lend me the charger, I would be finished in the past few days, and I can't pay for things—"
The man suddenly stretched out his hand, he pressed his thumb on Nijiu's mouth, and cut off the rest of Nijiu's words.There is a thin layer of calluses on his knuckles, like fine sand, passing over Nijiu's lips.
The man bent down towards Nijiu, and there was a faint fragrance of grass and leaves on his body, brushing the tip of Nijiu's nose.Their faces were so close that Neito could even feel his breath.
He said, "Apart from babbling all day long, can you do something serious with your mouth?"
The tone was a little helpless.
Nijito raised a hand with difficulty, protesting the man's words: "You can still eat."
man:"……"
Man: "Shut your mouth."
The two walked out of the underground trading field and returned to the ground.In less than 10 minutes, the security team had all evacuated.They escaped the black market unscathed before the traders counterattacked, leaving only a mess behind.
The man wrapped his arms around Nijiu's shoulders, making him stay close to him.
Nijiu looked at him secretly, but the man was wearing a leather mask, so he couldn't see his whole face, only a high nose tip and thin lips.He stared ahead, his eyes were stern and determined.
The man protected Nijiu all the way, and stopped when he reached the exit of the black market: "You are safe, let's go."
Nijiu thanked him subconsciously: "Thank you."
"Don't talk nonsense." The man waved at Mijiu with his palms inward and the back of his hands outward, urging him to leave quickly.
After Nijiu walked away, several people came out of the shop and surrounded the man.
They put the anti-matter weapons in their hands back into the holsters, and bowed their heads respectfully to the man.A person said: "My lord, Mr. You has already sent it out, can you remove the signal interference in the black market area?"
The man watched Nijiu go away, until he completely disappeared from sight, and then responded indifferently: "Yes."
Nijiu's optical brain has been unable to connect to information, and it finally returned to normal after staying away from the black market.He called Ryan and arranged to meet at the station.
As soon as Nijito walked into the station, she saw Ryan holding a huge paper bag.
Ryan also saw Nijiu, and shouted loudly while waving: "Nijiu! Are you feeling better? I waited in front of the supermarket for half an hour, and your optical brain has no signal, and you can't make a phone call."
With a pang of conscience, Nijiu took the shopping bag from Ryan's hand: "Okay, it's much better."
Nijito and Ryan get on the train.Along the way, Ryan yawned and rubbed his dry eyes from time to time.
It was only then that Nijiu realized that his face was livid, and the dark circles under his eyes were almost falling to his cheeks.He elbowed Ryan: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Ryan was poked by Nijiu, woke up from half asleep, and yawned again: "I downloaded "Summoner" yesterday, and I wanted to play it before going to bed, but I played until three or four in the morning. Today at noon I didn't take a nap either, I just kept playing games."
Nijiu asked: "How old is your cub?"
Ryan replied: "Level 10. I stayed up until four o'clock last night to open the 'Miasma Forest' map, and finally raised the cub to level ten."
"...Gan Emperor accepts my worship." Nijiu patted Ryan on the shoulder, "I happen to be on this map too, do you want to form a team tonight?"
"Okay." Ryan nodded and closed his eyes again, "But I need to take a good rest now, this game is poisonous, really."
In the evening, Nijiu sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the game.
He came to Miasma Forest and saw Ryan under the giant tree.Ryan's ID is [The Rise of Non-Chiefs], and his spirit beast is the most common R-grade [Quiver Hedgehog], named [Hedgehog Pig].
Nijiu took the white wolf from the underworld out of the [spiritual beast box]. Ryan squatted aside curiously and asked, "Brother Ni, what is your spirit beast? I've never seen it before."
"White Wolf of Hades."
Ryan: "...so that Emperor Ou is you!!"
Ryan took Nijiu's hand, affectionately: "Xiaojiu, I will entrust you with the prosperity and wealth of the rest of my life with Hedgehog Pig!"
Nijiu: "..."
He got goosebumps all over his body.
The White Wolf of Hades sat aside, his eyes lingering between Nijiu and Ryan.
[Your cub [Daily Wang] is very curious about the relationship between you and the player [Rise of the Non-Chiefs]. 】
Nijiu said: "Ruian, Dawang wants to know the relationship between the two of us."
Ryan: "Huh? He can't talk, how do you know what he's thinking?"
"I triggered a reward task to read the cub's inner thoughts and emotions."
"Damn it, this skill is amazing!" Ryan sighed from the bottom of his heart, squatting down in front of the White Wolf of Hades.Ryan was afraid of all canine creatures including dogs, wolves, and foxes. Seeing the fierce look in the wolf cub's eyes, he didn't rush to snort.
But if you are afraid of returning home, you will always take advantage of verbal advantages.
Ryan looked at the little wolf cub solemnly, and said, "Stupid, call me grandpa. I am your father's father."
After finishing speaking, Ryan looked back to Nijiu expectantly: "How is it? What is he thinking?"
Nijiu: "???"
White Wolf of Hades: "..."
Stupid human beings dare to play him.
The White Wolf of Hades waved its paw at Ryan, only to see a flash of cold light, and there were a few long bloodstains on Ryan's arm.
"It hurts!! He bullied me!" Ryan jumped up clutching his hands and hid behind Nijiu, "Brother Ni, say something!"
Nijiu is ruthless: "You deserve it, keep your mouth shut."
In order to unlock the next map, Nijiu and Ryan followed the prompts and walked towards the end of [Miasma Forest].
After arriving at the edge of the miasma forest, a very high cliff appeared in front of them, blocking their way.That section of cliff is high and steep, and a large vine is climbing on the rock wall.
Ryan looked up at the cliff that went straight into the sky, and asked Nijiu: "Brother Ni, what should we do now? Grab the cane and climb up?"
Nijiu stretched her arms and relaxed her muscles: "Well, I can only bite the bullet."
This is easy to say, but when Nijiu held the vines, she discovered that these vines actually hide another mystery.The vines sense the body heat of animals, and like flytraps, they rely on predators for nutrition.The moment Nijiu and Ryan climbed onto the vines, the vines waved slowly, trying to entangle them.
Nijiu tore off a vine wrapped around his wrist: "This vine moves very slowly, as long as we climb faster, they won't be able to keep up."
Nijiu moved very lightly, and Ryan hugged the hedgehog pig, gradually being left behind.After climbing for a few minutes, Nijiu heard Ryan's cry for help: "Brother, help me—I'm sorry! This thing is coming!!"
Neijiu looked down and found that Ryan was entangled in vines around his ankles.Ryan struggled desperately, but the vines seemed to stick to him, and he couldn't get rid of it at all.
At this time, Nijiu was at the forefront, and there was a white wolf from the underworld between him and Ryan.He shouted to the little wolf cub: "Stupid! Help him!"
The White Wolf of Hades was unmoved, he turned his head silently, pretending not to hear.
A line of reminders appeared in front of Nijiu: [Your cub hopes that the player [Rise of the Non-Chief] will fall down. 】
Nijiu: "..."
Ryan, hanging upside down from the vine, yelled angrily, "Does he hate me?!"
