Chapter 931

Chapter 931 Critical Strike! Crit! Art is power!

Outside the murloc camp, the "New River" construction site.

The smoke and dust are chaotic, and the white mist and dust are flying together.

Chi chi chi chi, the sound of hoes and shovels touching the ground can be heard endlessly.

Compared with the desolation of the previous few days, today's place is full of passionate and busy.

The villagers who rushed over from Hope Village seem to have exhausted their strength and enthusiasm, squatting in the three-meter-wide and two-meter-deep river trench and digging frantically. In just five days, they have opened up a distance of 1,500 meters. , It is faster than the speed of digging the Grand Canal back then.

The villagers standing on the ditch were not idle, pushing the self-made two-wheeled transport cart to send the excavated soil to the accumulation area. And this soil will be transported to the planned planting area by the only truck in the territory in the future to fill the low-lying areas of the terrain.

Due to the long distance between the two places, the village has only opened three round-trip shuttle buses at present, concentrated in the morning, middle and evening hours, and using a long hanging bucket to pull the people in charge of transporting back and forth. So at noon, after climbing out of the deep pit, most people would not choose to waste time going back to the village, but would save their energy and rest on the spot.

Naturally, the trolleys that set up stalls at the entrance of the market before also smelled this big wave of business opportunities, and hurriedly brought the stalls to the murloc camp and spread them out to form a simple market.

Ignoring other elements, this place is like a newborn tribe, full of vigor.

Standing in front of the high-rise windows in the camp, watching the little murlocs in the tribe rushing into the market for consumption, the murloc patriarch Yu Chenghai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After a long period of change in living habits, after the murlocs left the original seawater living environment and went to land, their diet structure gradually changed from carnivorous to omnivorous while their body structure changed.

Can eat anything, loves to eat anything.

At first, the murloc tribe was very excited about this change.

But as time went by, they discovered that not all of these changes were positive. The most obvious point was that the original food cost increased by more than ten times.

In other words, the murlocs are the first race among sea creatures to like "food".

When they came to this strange world a few days ago, facing the food produced by Hope Village, the murlocs could still restrain their inner urges. At most, they just felt that the food tasted better than the usual food, and the taste was better. That's all.

Even if the two sides temporarily canceled the exchange of trade due to the disaster, the murloc tribe didn't have any voice to discuss the food in Hope Village.

but now.

Yu Chenghai had never seen or heard of a food that a murloc could eat once. It was as if he had been poisoned. If he didn't eat it for a day, he would throw himself on the ground and feel uncomfortable.

So that every night, the camp is full of voices discussing the food of Hope Village.

reflected in reality.

Those little murlocs who used to dig ditches and do hard work would go into a depressed state every night.

But now, as long as they think that they will be able to eat delicious food after working the next day, their efficiency will almost double during the day, which surprised even the patriarch.

And those old fish people who are in charge of scientific research, originally seemed lifeless every day because of the lack of water source environment, but after eating the food in the market recently, they also glowed with a second spring, and have initially analyzed the first one assigned by the lord. scientific research tasks.

Of course, just looking at the changes in the murlocs in the camp, the appearance of delicious food is undoubtedly a good thing.

But as patriarch.

Yu Chenghai sighed again.

In just a few days, nearly one-tenth of the material reserves in the camp were rushed out by the murlocs, and 90% of them were spent on the usual food stalls.

He wanted to talk to Chen Shen, the village chief of Hope Village, to see if he could rent out some murlocs as labor and earn some money to make up for the camp expenses.

But every time I think of Chen Shen sending people to help build the waterway, not only does it cost no money, but even subsidizes a lot of materials for the murloc camp to complete the follow-up supporting construction.

This face made him ashamed, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

"Is it that fragrant?"

Hearing Yu Chenghai's muttering, the high priest Yu Haichao who was sitting next to him opened his eyelids, a thick blue light flashed in his dull eyes, far stronger than before.

"Why don't you try it?"

"Don't go, if I also become addicted, then this camp will be finished, drink the northwest wind after spending all the money."

Yu Chenghai swallowed, and forcibly suppressed the thoughts that had just been instigated.

To be honest, the smell that comes into the camp every day is very strange.

That smell should not be the taste of human food at all, but more like treasure fish with a strong fishy smell that haunts shallow seas.

"Hehe, don't worry, the village chief Chen Shen is coming soon."

Yu Chenghai, who was about to swallow again, froze for a moment.

"Is Village Chief Chen here?"

Boom.

There was a knock on the door from behind.

The guard murloc said in a low voice: "The patriarch, the high priest, the village chief Chen Shen is here."

"Honorable Chief Chen Shen, please come in."

As soon as a gleam of joy flashed across Yu Chenghai's smooth fish face, the high priest next to him raised his left hand.

With a slight wave of his hand, the door opened naturally, revealing Chen Shen standing in front of the door.

A wrapped red carpet was also rolled out from the window to the front of the door.

Walking on the street stall, Chen Shen looked left and right curiously, and finally focused his gaze on Yu Haichao's left index finger with a hint of blue glow brewing, and said in surprise:

"I haven't seen you for a few days. The high priest's strength has recovered pretty well. This method is getting more and more amazing."

"A little trick, a little trick."

The high priest stood up with a smile on his rich face, looking like a kind elder.

"Thanks to the Lord Lord's cultivation, I was able to cross over to another stage today."

"Thank you Lord Lord."

Putting his right hand on his heart, the high priest became more pious.

On the other hand, Yu Chenghai next to him was not so shy, and hurried forward to hold Chen Shen's hand.

"Mr. Chen, you finally came here today. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid the latter will have the nerve to find you."

"The head of the fish patriarch is polite, I don't know why you invited me here." Chen Shen still smiled and asked straightforwardly.

After dealing with these murlocs a lot, he has gradually gotten the hang of it.

The twists and turns of human beings are not applicable, on the contrary, it is more convenient and comfortable to go straight.

"That's right. Our murloc tribe has encountered a little trouble recently. Don't worry, Village Chief Chen. I don't mean any conflicts between our two tribes. I can tell you about this." Guaranteed, I will strictly restrain those little murlocs, so that they will always respect the villagers of Hope Village like royalty, and will never go beyond the rules set by the lord."

"It's hard to say about this trouble. Do you know that recently the village has sent so many people to help our murloc tribe build river ditches. This is a kindness we have never thought of. If I"

As he talked, Yu Chenghai's originally pale fish face became more and more red.

Obviously, he didn't learn the euphemism of human beings, and he also forgot the frankness of murlocs.

He hesitated, and even Chen Shen was a little puzzled: "Clan Chief Yu, you can just say it straight. They are all soldiers under the lord's command. There is no need for such a relationship between our two tribes, right?"

"There is no division, there should be no division." Yu Chenghai shook his head and explained quickly.

But this time, before he could continue speaking, the high priest next to him who had finished praying coughed lightly.

"Cun Chief Chen, the market has been open for the past two days, and the patriarch always wants to take me to have a taste. How about we talk while eating?"

"Try it?"

Chen Shen laughed: "Of course, let's go, I'll treat you today!"

In an instant, he had already realized what Yu Chenghai wanted to say.

It's not difficult to guess, after all, the "foreign exchange reserves" earned from the murloc tribe every day are not covered, and every transaction must be signed by him before it can be put into the warehouse.

But in just a few days, the murloc tribe couldn't hold on anymore?

Looking at the green smoke outside the window, Chen Shen sniffed, and suddenly understood the lethality of this small market.

It seems that in the future, I will have to use my identity as the village head to talk to these chef apprentices more. If this business can be developed to other places outside the territory, then the foreign exchange reserves

The three of them walked out of the gate of the Murloc Tribe one after the other. It was time for dinner, and the small market was full of people.

Among the queuing crowd, there were quite a few little murlocs with wrinkled skin.

Facing these alien groups, the villagers did not discriminate against them, instead they happily leaned down and chatted.

Some old fishmen also received enough respect and were allowed to go to the front row to eat first.

This kind of harmony is not like the fusion of two strange races.

Even the three who walked out had seen it more than once, and they were still a little amazed at this time.

"Have some noodles, cakes, or soup?"

"Eat noodles!" Yu Chenghai responded immediately, then realized his urgency, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Okay then, let's eat noodles."

The people queuing in front of Ma Haoge's noodle stall were so crowded that they couldn't see the end at a glance.

Seeing the village head and the head of the murloc tribe, the high priest walked over together, and the villagers and murlocs who lined up in front of the noodle stall offered to give up their seats.

It's not that they are intimidated by power, but that there is an unwritten rule in the village that whoever contributes the most is entitled to enjoy the privilege.

The village is developing so well now, and everyone has hope. It is necessary to make room for the village chief. His time is precious.

"Hao Ge, you pulled the three bowls of beef noodles yourself."

Considering the increasing number of people, Ma Haoge also hired three apprentices from the chef apprenticeship route to help, and offered the territory's first floating salary.

That is, the more you sell, the higher your salary will be on the day of settlement.

However, compared to Ma Haoge, a master ramen chef, the noodles pulled by the three apprentices are not as good, and the price is also lower than the normal ramen.

"Okay, village chief, wait a moment."

Glancing at the two murlocs beside Chen Shen, Ma Haoge's eyes flashed with excitement.

In the past two days, he has been collecting information about chef apprentices on the World Channel, and got a lot of useful information.

Unlike the traditional route upgrade, you only need to repeat a job frequently to get experience points.

In addition to experience points and hidden tasks, there is another hidden special progress for the upgrade of chef apprentices.

Word of mouth value!

Of course, the real name might not be this, but the conveyed meaning is the same.

As long as more people can taste the food and praise it in their hearts, the game will give a certain word-of-mouth value.

If the word-of-mouth value reaches the standard, you can directly skip the experience point upgrade.

Moreover, the higher the level of the taster, or the more distinguished the status, the word-of-mouth value will also increase to a certain extent.

"The patriarch and high priest of the murloc clan must be taken down!"

With this idea in mind, Ma Haoge devoted himself wholeheartedly to the ramen business.

Not long after, three bowls of ramen came out of the pot.

Seeing the murloc patriarch disregarding the heat, he poured the noodles into his mouth and chewed them like crazy, making a contented grunt, and praised the deliciousness vaguely in his mouth.

Then he looked at the murloc high priest with a happy and pious expression on his face, as if he was performing some noble etiquette.

Ma Haoge smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Shen also laughed, laughing wantonly.

Although some innate abilities are not written on the game board, they are engraved in the bones of every human being.

Just giving them the right platform can do wonders.

And the route completely released this talent.

Let everyone see their own abilities more concretely, and understand their future direction more clearly.

After Yu Chenghai ate a whole three bowls with satisfaction, Chen Shen reminded with a smile:

"Chief Yu, there are a lot of food stalls behind, don't you want to save some food for a try?"

"I won't keep it, I won't keep it anymore, this noodle shop tastes like my mother's." Yu Chenghai shook his head and praised, his eyes full of reminiscence: "This scent is almost the same as the treasure fish she made secretly. One taste."

"Treasure fish?"

Ma Haoge listened with strained ears, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

For an ordinary bowl of ramen, of course he didn't put any secret sauce, after all, that's where the cost lies.

As for the taste that Yu Chenghai tasted, according to the tests in the past few days, it is most likely due to those special abilities, which increased the flavor of food by 25%.

It is not simply to increase the original aroma of the food, but to attach the best food that the taster has ever eaten, and add a quarter of that taste to it.

As weird as it sounds, it works great.

Almost everyone who comes to patronize ramen is full of praise.

"Okay, High Priest, do you want it?"

Chen Shen looked at Yu Haichao who was waiting quietly after eating a bowl of noodles.

But before he finished speaking, he saw the latter stretching out his finger, pointing in the direction of the construction site.

"how?"

"Mr. Chen, where should we go for a walk?"

"Where?" Chen Shen turned his head, and sure enough, he found the direction of the high priest's finger, and there seemed to be a commotion.

Many people who had finished eating had already gathered there, and they didn't know whether they were watching the excitement or participating in the riot.

"Alright, let's go and have a look."

The three got up and walked straight through the crowd to the crowd gathering place.

Along the way, villagers kept giving way, and they were quickly squeezed into the front position where the riot broke out.

However, it was at this point that a faint voice came from the crowd.

"vigorously!"

"vigorously!"

"Art is strength!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by. The second generation Dali version of farm tools is out. Brothers and sisters who need it, come and see it!"

"A farm tool that can strike a critical strike, yes, it is the critical strike you imagined!"

"Now pre-purchase the latest products of Mengmeng Iron and Steel Factory, the price is favorable, if you can't buy it, you will lose money, if you can't buy it, you will be fooled!"
