Chapter 4: The Golden Blade
It only took a second, before Jiang Chen stepped onto the dusty wooden floor.
He checked the energy bar on his wrist. Surprisingly, it only cost 40% at the moment to complete the trip. Perhaps energy storage is enhanced by how many times it is charged?
Jiang Chen shook his head. It was good news for him, but he couldn't why it happened.
As he sat on the luxurious sofa, he enjoyed a comfortable life that was not common in the modern world. He lit a cigarette and watched the time pass.
From the mushroom-filled window, Jiang Chen caught a glimpse of Sun Jiao's shadow in the distance. He took his binoculars to confirm before he opened the door to let her in.
"This is the gold you want. "She caught the bag and both her hands suddenly dropped. Happiness overflowed from his heart, for the bag was big and strong. The bag weighed at least a few pounds, but the girl threw it like a volleyball. The amount of power he possessed was terrifying.
Jiang Chen glanced at his arm. His slender arms contained no signs of muscle.
“It was exhausting. Banks have zombies everywhere. It took almost two ammunition batteries to completely get rid of those filthy creatures. The vault was also sealed by a thick layer of steel board that I could not open. I got this gold bar from the VIP room. ”
Sun Jiao wiped off the sweat on her forehead and threw her backpack on the ground. Even if the gold bar only weighed a few kilograms, combined with its equipment and supplies, it almost weighed 20 kilograms while crossing a long distance.
"Catch up!"
"Hmm? This was ... "Sun Jiao caught the coke when she looked at him.
“You seem to like it. "He was a bit embarrassed after Sun Jiao looked at him for so long.
His lips moved without a word. After a moment of silence, he continued his usual courage. He opened the can and sipped coke from outside.
"Giggle, Gurgle .. Haha, this is amazing. This weather is very hot. Hmm, is this cold? ”Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
“The refrigerator in the kitchen can still be used. Photosels and solar panels work in this place. "He didn't lie about this. Although most of the electronics were destroyed, the power system somehow remained intact.
Maybe someone stayed here and fixed some electronics. But from the layer of dust on the ground, it was a long time ago.
"It's okay . You wouldn't tell me where this Coke came from even if I asked. “Sun Jiao waved her hand to dispel that thought. “Oke, what next? If we open the dome and move the gold here, it will require professional help. At the very least, we need powerful explosives, or skilled hackers to crack electronic keys. ”
"Where can we find them?" Explosives are a problem. It was almost impossible to buy them in bulk in the modern world due to their restrictive nature, especially given Jiang Chen's social status.
“Many safe bases have them, such as Liu Ding City. "Iri flowed out of her eyes, as she gazed into the distance. "That's a place that people find fun, even in the desert …"
"Is it far from here?"
“Not too far, but rather expensive. Except for residents who own property and labor that lose their freedom, visitors must pay one unit of crystal energy, or items at an equivalent price to enter. ”
"One unit of crystal energy?" Jiang Chen was confused.
"This is this thing. "Sun Jiao searched in her pocket before picking up a piece of dark green crystal. "This "crystal piece has about 37 units of energy left. You can use an EP to check. This was quite hard to find because only powerful mutants had it in the back of their heads. If possible, I never want to meet those things again … "
The creature that scared this girl? That thought sent a tremor to Jiang Chen's spine.
He took out the crystal and a faint pulling force was drawn on his right arm. She's shocked. This can be used to charge the tattoo.
Jiang Chen's expression remained calm. He played with her for a moment before returning her to Sun Jiao.
"What is the value of one unit of crystal energy?"
“Ten cans of meat or half of normal food cans, ten supplies of nutrients, one type c battery, or three ammunition batteries. You can exchange a lot with him. This type of energy source is considered a currency by many survival bases. You can even find a woman to sleep with you there. '' Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen mockingly. He enjoyed teasing this little guy.
"Hmm. . 37 crystal energy units. I'll use four cans of food instead? "
"Oh?" Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. He did not care much about the difference of the three energy units.
“Although ten units of energy are worth one can of food. It also depends on the type. Most canned foods contain mutant fish meat, or many of them are also filled with sand. Which is the best case scenario. Some canned foods even include human meat … "
The voice was full of despair and numbness. Jiang Chen had trouble breathing; he was at a loss for words.
“Ayam curry, **** fried .. This is the first time I have ever had this delicious dish in my life. '' Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen with great admiration. “Traders use mutant cows to transport goods. I feel good eating beef from mutant cows. Even the dryness made me very satisfied. ”
"I believe you," Jiang Chen's voice calmed down.
He felt a sudden fear overwhelm him. To Sun Jiao, he was helpless. If he wanted his food, it would only take a blink of an eye to finish him off.
A trust? Jiang Chen felt a deafening fear overwhelm him. He almost wanted to take the gold, travel back to the modern world, and forget everything that happened here. With gold bars, he could live like a millionaire.
He only realized now that the world was more complicated than he thought.
Perhaps because of greed, or because of strong arrogance. After a violent internal battle in his head, he calmed down and resisted the temptation to escape.
His face was emotionless as he tried to hide his fear.
"believe it?" Sun Jiao laughed. However, in his eyes, there was a wink of emotion that he could not hide. This distant word has long since become extinct in this landscape; long buried in hunger and death. Although Jiang Chen said this precious word to him, Sun Jiao involuntarily reacted with a look of disdain.
Sighing, Sun Jiao walked into the kitchen.
“Your impoliteness becomes very worrying. However, I was not disturbed by it. ”
"…" Jiang Chen was more relaxed when he heard his words. This time he made the right bet, Sun Jiao had no ill intentions.
Otherwise, he would have plenty of time to kill him and would not have waited this long. Jiang Chen finally felt relieved, from this thought that had bothered him a long time ago.
Just as Sun Jiao was about to reach the door, she turned around. “Since you are my master, I not only need to ensure your safety, I have a responsibility to prevent you from being cheated. If someone chases your wealth, that's also a problem for me. If you've ever traded in the future, you'll have to take me. ”
[He cares?]
“Don't look at me like that! You gave me goosebumps. "Sun Jiao fled frantically from Jiang Chen's sight. He ducked into the kitchen, and shouted in surprise, “apa! How is this possible? A refrigerator!"
Scams, and stories, most of Jiang Chen's responses were lies. That is to avoid problems and dangers that will occur.
But the fleeting emotion from his eyes was real.
Taking that glance, to his surprise, the brave girl was not that annoying. She . . . cute?
“Stop eating canned food; tonight let's eat fresh food! To celebrate my first employee. "Jiang Chen laughed and ran into the kitchen, filled with overwhelming joy.
Sun Jiao was stunned in front of the refrigerator, as she did not bother to debate the status of her employees. He stared at the tomatoes and eggs in the fridge.
Jiang Chen put in these fresh ingredients before Sun Jiao returned.
"You ..." Sun Jiao turned her head slowly, in a dumbfounded voice.
"Don't ask. I know you have a lot of questions. We can discuss this over dinner. Do you know how to cut tomatoes? "
Jiang Chen left the bewildered Sun Jiao on the spot, as a proud smile stretched across his face.
He pulled out some tomatoes and eggs. "Tonight, we'll make tomato fried eggs!"
