The Peace Corps came out in mid-October. The expected travel time was fifteen to twenty days. Now it has already taken a week along the way. In five or six days at most, we must consider returning.

Taking into account the start time of the next round, it is Zheng Li's turn and Toraichi Saki is probably in the middle, and the bottom line is to continue delaying for three to five days... But the rabbit will not be able to catch up with the tail of the preliminary round and will be eliminated directly.

Regarding this situation, Lan Mengqi was very generous.

"It's okay, it's okay. Although it's a pity that I can't enter the next round, how can I affect everyone's plans because of my small personal matters. Besides, I only have two blades and four points of biological energy. I can't pass the preliminary round, let alone the semi-finals."

What he said was reasonable, and his tone was very reasonable, but if it hadn't been for the smile on his lips, Zheng Li would have almost believed it, well, almost.

These two days, the rabbit has been very nourished. W-123299 is a forest world, to be precise, it is a paradise for all kinds of plants.

Their main residents are all short, semi-vegetable races nicknamed Mushroom People. There are no large carnivores at all... In this world, various vegetarian dishes are quite famous, from fruits to stems and leaves.

The roots and hairs all have special cooking methods.

The vegetarian dishes are particularly delicious. You can even feel the satisfaction of eating meat without any fishy smell.

The rabbit was so fat, and the bed and under the bed were filled with all kinds of delicious fruits and vegetables... Well, Wu Sanjun also went to learn a few tricks, but he came back soon, saying that he was of no use.

The technique of seasoning the "mushroom powder" on the head is impossible to learn from this racially dominant cooking skill.

Unless, abducting a mushroom man... ahem, Wu Sanjun and Lan Mengqi's suggestions were directly rejected by Zheng Li. Such a peaceful little man would not be able to survive outside for a few days.

This is not a very big world. There are only a dozen cities and towns in total, with a population of hundreds of thousands... Zheng Li actually saw the stone statue of the human sword master in their village.

Well, there seems to be something wrong about fighting giant beasts with huge swords and hugging each other.

Murals and sculptures are often a means for more primitive societies to record history. The original sword masters drove away some evil monsters for local residents and became the object of worship.

It is worth mentioning that as a small world bordering the human world, you can use time currency for consumption here. After a little calculation, the prices are quite cheap.

Probably, with a basic salary of 2,000 yuan a month, you can buy a two-story house.

Zheng Li also saw a lot of imported products such as shovels and trailers. When he asked about the price, they were obviously much more expensive than outside.

With such a big price gap, it is natural that the Peace Corps immediately had the urge to make large purchases. If nothing else, the profit would be ten times higher if these delicious vegetables were moved out... It seems that the rabbits have some stocks for the winter.

Feel.

"Even if you can't sell it, you can still eat it yourself! For one month's rent, you can eat it for several years!"

But Zheng Li still refused this temptation. Firstly, he had no time, and secondly, he always felt that something was not right... If it were so easy to make money, the profiteers outside would have resold it long ago.

"Oh, this? Many special products of the small world can only exist in this world. They will deteriorate quickly after they go out. Have you eaten the autumn fruits? You can try it. It is a good thing to increase the upper limit of spiritual power.

.”

Dr. Snake's words shocked Zheng Li. Is there such a thing as increasing the upper limit of spiritual energy? It would have been robbed long ago.

This kind of thing that directly affects the growth rate of the sword master must be a strategic resource, and it may cause a war.

"Every world has its own rules. Even the essence of a miniature world is extremely valuable. Many remote worlds have some weird and wonderful things. This kind of news will not spread in the city. After all, the things are basically

It cannot be brought out, and the quantity is rare and difficult to obtain. Letting those young boys come out on their own is tantamount to sending them to death."

Lin Yuying also knew about this, and Zheng Li nodded in understanding.

He had known that there were many strange things out there. Each small world and region had different basic rules, as well as different resources and products. This was the fundamental reason why many industrial and agricultural towns were independent.

Local collection, local processing, local production, and even... local consumption!

Many products are not even shipped to cities. The sword owners order them themselves and then go to the area to pick them up or use them.

This is also the reason why small and medium-sized towns outside still need a large number of labor forces. After all, not every small world has local residents who are so easy to deal with.

Not to mention, Dr. Snake and his party went to visit the agricultural areas where their own special crops were grown and tried to put their medicinal uses into practical use.

If that kind of plant could be transplanted, it would be much safer to leave it around the main city.

He just didn't expect that there was something that could enhance spiritual power, and it was so close.

As for the fact that the civilians in the city are unaware of the reality? He can understand it. He can drive people here in a big car, and then... continue one by one? Forging iron depends on one's own strength, and he mixes with the general

Something will happen.

If it comes out, sooner or later you will know, and sooner or later there will be what you should have.

"Don't expect too much, it only works once, and the effect is quite slight, and this kind of thing is a bit..."

The thing that Lin Yuying was about to stop talking about soon appeared in front of the Peace Corps.

"...I'll go, it's so expensive! At least 100,000 yuan each, and they only accept spiritual crystals."

On the planned journey, there was the capital city of this small world called "Quangqiu City". Here Zheng Li found a dealer of Qiuqiu Fruit, and when he asked about the price, he felt that he had been cheated.

"If you don't have spiritual crystals, you can go to the private bank next door to exchange them. Just a reminder, theirs is a bit shady..."

Zheng Li's face darkened as soon as the human businessman, who was running the Qiuqiu fruit franchise, opened his mouth.

Can it be darker than you? Dr. Snake just said on the way that when she came here last time, a Qiuqiu Guo cost about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. You can buy it from any big local boss. They are

Planted and cultivated by oneself.

But when I finally arrived, I discovered that the market situation had changed, from small farmers to centralized sales and dealers... the number one profiteer in Shiqian City - Manyo Company.

Zheng Li didn't go to exchange for the spiritual crystals. He asked around first... The locals really knew everything about human beings. Three years ago, there were no Qiuqiu fruits for sale in the market.

Helpless, we can't cross the treasure mountain without entering. There are still some spiritual crystals in Zheng Li's car, but considering the strategic needs in the future, it is best not to use them... In fact, after inspecting the warehouse, the spiritual crystals are also

It's only enough for half a Qiuqiu fruit, so who would run around with hundreds of thousands worth of spiritual crystals?

"Um, didn't you exchange it for a spiritual crystal card? There were tokens in the city's previous transactions."

This point is not only caused by profiteers, but the Peace Corps also needs to make up a lot of common sense.

For transactions between big cities, their respective credit currencies are not trustworthy. Spiritual crystals are a hard currency that can be expected, but the size and weight will waste precious freight space and worry about being robbed on the road.

The spiritual crystal cards recognized by major cities, with 100 pieces, 1000 pieces, etc., have become the only designated tokens... Other races can't get them if they grab them. Each card is numbered, as long as the application is successful.

It's just a piece of waste paper.

Before the veteran war group sets out, you don’t need to bring any money, and the resources will be replaced by spiritual crystal cards.

The Spiritual Crystal Card also has a more important role, which I won’t go into here for now.

"Uh, do I have to pay tuition again?"

Zheng Li couldn't laugh or cry even more. You guys from outside have too many hidden rules. There are two worlds inside and outside the city.

Zheng Li knew about the Spirit Crystal Card before, but he never had a chance to use it. He just sent money to Yinghuo... Well, this damn girl didn't know how to remind him.

I have no choice but to exchange it.

"Tsk, it's indeed the Manyo Company again."

Looking at the house number on this private bank, Zheng Li and his party's expressions darkened. It turned out that it belonged to the same family, so no wonder it was recommended.

Why is their family a bit shady? It's your family's shady thing together, let's chain it together.

He didn't need to ask any more questions, this was definitely the one here, there was no other choice.

But when he actually asked about the price, he had the urge to turn around and leave.

"It's too dark. Just go from 100,000 to 150,000 in just a few clicks. Robbery isn't that fast, right? Uh, four people, that's 600,000?"

"How embarrassing is this!"

Hearing Zheng Li talk about four people, Rabbit suddenly became excited.

Toraichi Saki, himself, Zheng Li, and Shark Mouth are great! They have their own share.

Zheng Li looked at Rabbit with strange eyes. What was she excited about?

"Me, Yuying, Yinghuo, and Ah Qiong, you don't expect me to pay for it. It doesn't make sense. Ah Wu, if you don't have any money, I can lend it to you, but there will be interest."

One hundred and fifty thousand? Even if you sell yourself, it won't be enough. Rabbit opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything.

"I don't use it. Most of these substances have the same debuff effect. I have used many better ones. This should have no effect on me."

Lin Yuying stepped forward and helped Zheng Li save money.

"I don't need it either. I've also used better ones. Besides, the doctor said it's better for me not to eat randomly now."

Wu Sanjun also refused. He smiled and opened his shark mouth, scaring the passing "mushroom man".

Dr. She's surgical plan has been prepared. Zheng Li estimated that the success rate is less than 3%... But with such a success rate and Zheng Li's own ability, it is possible to try it.

.

Simply performing surgery in a large car without medical facilities is obviously not a good choice.

Dr. Snake said that their camp has laboratories, operating rooms, and various surgical equipment, so he planned to try it there... Zheng Li tried his best and changed the location to perform the surgery. Wu Sanjun's survival rate increased from 3

% rose to 5%.

"I can lend you the Spirit Crystal Card, and you can just return it to me when you return to the city."

Originally, he went back to get the money, but after returning to the cart and drinking tea in the living room, Dr. Snake saved a lot of money for Zheng Li and his party.

But the pride of casually spending hundreds of thousands of money and daring to borrow money from others at first sight... Well, those who engage in scientific research are indeed invisible rich people.

On the other side of the table, Zheng Li saw a pot of autumn fruits on the table, and two researchers were nibbling on it.

“It’s delicious, I haven’t had it in a long time.”
