Chapter 15 Alcohol
After leaving the upper-level epidemic area, Kino washed his hands and went to the bakery to buy half a dozen cranberry bread. He ate half of them on the spot and packed the other half to take back to the military camp.
After paying off Paladin, Kino exchanged 14 points of respect for 14 silver moons.
It is not yet clear what the strength of the Samsara Team is, nor whether he will be transported to other places after this round of invasion, or whether he can only stay in this absurd world.
If it's the former, just use your respect points to exchange for some high-tech weapons, and armor is naturally the best.
But if it is the latter, things that do not belong to the current world will easily attract attention, and his path will be very difficult.
To be on the safe side, before figuring out the rules of the game, it would be safest to exchange your respect points for money in this world.
14 silver moons are not too big for Kino, so there is no need to take them to the one-eyed dragon for manipulation, just put them in the wallet.
The respect points obtained from Luka are 54 points, and there are 40 points left, which are reserved for later use.
As for the fear value, the value is too low now, and the things that can be strengthened are very limited, but it is not impossible.
In the basic genes, muscle strength, nerve response, cell activity, etc. can all be enhanced.
Compared with special genes such as wasteland creatures, the fear points required to strengthen the basic genes each time are very small, only 50 points, and the corresponding improvement space will be much smaller, but it is better than nothing.
The fear value obtained from Ramos is 59 points, which can be strengthened once. Chino puts it into "night vision" so that he can see more clearly in the dark to prevent possible night attacks.
After the exchange, a warm feeling surged across the surface of his eyeballs. He found that the scenery at night was much clearer and the visibility was further.
After returning to the military camp, he took a shower and put on clean clothes. He placed honey water and cranberry bread on the desk, picked up his quill and wrote a letter detailing the experiences of Ramos and Luca's father and daughter.
And hope that the civil affairs officer of Puluo can find out the matter.
After writing the letter, he asked Paladin to go to the inn to send it urgently, and began to read books about this world.
At this glance, we can directly see that it is 3 o'clock in the morning, Chino slept for 3 hours and got up at 6 o'clock.
He handed 450 iron moons to Paladin and then began to deal with official business.
At dusk, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
Paladin's voice came: "Sir, can I come in?"
Kino: "Come in."
Paladin gently opened the door and came in: "Today is the 10th of God's Blessing. The pub has discounts on the 10th of every month. We are going to have a drink. Do you want to come with us?"
Kino read in a book yesterday that there is no word for "week" in this world, only "month".
Like the previous life, the months here are also 12 months, each month has 30 days, and each month has its own title. From the beginning to the end of the year, they are: Dettol, Flower Language, Booting, Mist Rain, Red Lotus, Flowing Fire, and Divine Blessing.
, falling flowers, frosty sky, cold weather, cold winter, returning snow.
The way people say dates is like Paladin, where the name of the month is added to the date. For example, if today is the 10th day of "God's Blessing", it is called the 10th day of God's Blessing.
Kino didn't have much time. He wanted to continue reading, but he had another idea.
In addition to learning about the world from books, hearing about it from other people’s mouths is also another way.
Compared with the vast world, Xilin Town is only one-third of an acre, and it is difficult to leave traces in those history books. Even if it is, it is only mentioned briefly, and the distribution of surrounding forces, customs, etc. are rarely mentioned.
There are still 12 days until the reincarnation team attacks. In addition to the three shackles in the body, making good use of one's identity - the civil affairs officer of Xilin Town - is also an extremely important thing.
As the highest administrative officer of the town, the civil affairs officer has the power to assemble the town's troops.
Thinking of this, Kino stood up and said, "Please wait for me while I change my clothes."
"Of course." Paladin closed the door.
Change your clothes and set off.
Paladin called another centurion, Baixa, and it is said that the two were good brothers who had served together for more than ten years.
The town of Xilin is relatively small, with only one tavern named Nightingale.
It's just dusk now, and the residents who have no money have taken a rest early and are preparing to get up early to work tomorrow.
The wealthy residents couldn't wait to enjoy the upcoming nightlife, so they decorated the Nightingale Tavern to be very lively.
The troubadour sat on a white bench with a pearwood guitar, his fingers jumping like an elf. The melody of the guitar and the singing in his mouth blended into a beautiful piece of music. No matter how irritating the day's work was, it always seemed to soothe people.
's heart.
Wisps of green smoke from the burning candles surrounded people, making the halo of the setting sun even more blurry. Everyone sang loudly and drank wine. As the fragrance of alcohol lingered on the tip of the tongue, several drinkers who drank too much blushed.
He was lying on the table, talking vaguely in his sleep.
As soon as Kino and others entered the door, the tavern owner greeted him with a smile: "Paladin! My old man~ you always come at this time. I have reserved a seat for you, shall I have the same wine as before?"
Paladin was as smart as a wizard. He turned sideways and said in a deep voice: "You should ask the civil administrator about this kind of thing."
Kino grasped every available second and was currently reading a book. He said casually: "Just follow what Paladin said."
It can be seen that the former Kino not only had no prestige in the military camp, but also among the people. The tavern owner did not show the respect he deserved from the civil affairs officials, and just said "Oh" and turned around and left.
The tavern owner had just taken two steps when Paladin grabbed his shoulder and squeezed him so hard that his bones hurt.
"Say hello to the civil administrator politely." Paladin's eyes were deep.
The tavern owner gasped in pain. Although he didn't understand Paladin's eyes, he still did what he said: "Good evening, Mr. Civil Affairs Officer, please follow me."
After leading everyone to sit in a relatively quiet corner, the boss quickly brought over a wine bottle and some snacks, such as fried beans, fried peanuts, etc.
Paladin also took out 10 copper moons and ordered 1 catty of air-dried beef as a side dish.
Kino knows how to drink, and his drinking capacity is quite large. After all, processors often travel through banquets in order to get closer to their targets.
However, his constitution is quite special. He lacks acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in his body and metabolizes alcohol very slowly after drinking it.
In layman's terms, your face will turn red if you drink alcohol.
Therefore, he has a good drinking capacity, but he will not take the initiative to drink if nothing happens.
On this occasion, the hospitality was overwhelming, so he only drank two drinks - of course, long after Paladin and the others had finished drinking.
While drinking, Paladin was suddenly startled: "Sir, are you okay?"
Kino subconsciously touched his heated face and said calmly: "It's okay, don't worry about me. Do you usually drink this kind of fruit wine? I thought you would like stronger ones."
"Stronger?" Paladin seemed to have heard a joke, "I admit this is a good joke. This is already the strongest wine in the world."
Kino heard the sound, drank the wine in the glass and tasted it carefully.
The sweet aroma comes to your nose, and there is no throat-piercing sensation. Instead, it is filled with a fruity flavor of white peach, with an alcohol content of only 20 degrees at most.
Kino: "Are you sure this is the strongest wine?"
Paladin: "Of course, I have never heard of a stronger wine than this. There are many more excellent ones than this. The royal tribute wine is not something we can enjoy, but if you want to talk about the intensity, they are all about the same."
Kino nodded and quickly understood that there should be no decent distillation technology in this world. Most of them are fermented wines made from grains or fruits. Generally, they only have a few degrees or more than ten degrees. 20 degrees is indeed the strongest.
