Chapter 131 is out of the newbie
Jiang Baimian, like most people in the noodle shop, only looked back at the side of the road and did not leave his seat.
Not long after, the boss, who was in his fifties and smelled of oil fumes, held a tray and put four large bowls of oil-splashed spicy noodles in front of Shang Jianyao and others.
In the strong fragrance that seduces the greedy insects, Jiang Baimian held back his appetite and asked casually:
"Is the library burning?"
"Yes." The boss sighed and said, "But I don't see any smoke over there, and the fire is not big."
Jiang Baimian glanced at the bowl that had been picked up, buried his head, and Hula started eating, Shang Jianyao asked, "curious":
"Is it a lot of fires lately, or what?"
She didn't care that such a problem would make her look like an outsider, and the most people in Grass City were outsiders.
"It's not a hot day!" The boss shook his head in denial, "I think it was the crazy people who did it?"
"Madman?" Jiang Baimian became even more interested.
The boss said "hey":
"Just after winter, there are suddenly more donkey ball things in the city, see the sky and stuff some paper into the cracks of your door, on which it says 'The old world is destroyed because of knowledge', 'Don't learn anything beyond instinct', 'Stay away from books, don't think', listen, listen, is this human language? This paper doesn't cost money?
"These lunatics really did what they did to burn down the library!"
"Noble masters don't care?" Jiang Baimian listened to Shang Jianyao's sound of eating noodles, while restraining himself and asking.
"I don't know who it is! How do you manage it?" The boss is happy to talk about this topic.
His sideburns were very gray, his hair was very short, and there were already some wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.
"That's right." Jiang Baimian adjusted his expectations for the security situation in Wild Grass City.
This is definitely incomparable to the inside of "Pangu Creatures".
Seeing that the boss was quite angry, she asked instead:
"You guys still like that library?"
The boss wiped his hands on the white apron:
"Can you not care?
"Children rely on this to read and read."
"There is no school in Weeds City? It shouldn't be." Jiang Baimian didn't hear Bai Chen mention this, and there was a default.
The boss glanced at the door:
"Yes, but on North Street, most people are not allowed to enter.
"Ordinary people like us can only teach our own children, but fortunately, my grandfather's generation understood a lot, and my father also received some formal education, so I could barely recognize most of the words in the Grey Tu language and most of the words in the Red River language.
"Teach children this way, how can you do it without books? Purely rely on myself, the effect, hey, don't mention it, I just hope that my grandchildren will be promising, recognize more braille, read more books, and have the opportunity to work in the municipal building.
Speaking of this, thinking of the fire in the library, the boss scolded hatefully:
"That gang of melon skins!"
Listening to the conversation between the team leader and the boss, Long Yuehong suddenly realized how difficult it was for Shuiwei Town to insist on public education.
On the gray soil, education is not a natural right for everyone, and even most people cannot read and write.
Jiang Baimian saw that there was a suspicious "arsonist", and things were more like coincidences, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and joked:
"Boss, your dialect is quite mixed."
"When my grandfather's generation established Weed City, people came from all directions, speaking all kinds of dialects, and some spoke the Red River language. When the boss saw a new customer coming in, he stopped chatting and greeted him.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao who was shaving the bottom of the bowl, picked up his face, and asked Long Yuehong with a smile:
"How does it taste?"
"Delicious...... Namely...... It's a bit spicy......" Long Yuehong replied vaguely.
At this time, when he took a bite, the noodles had absorbed the red oil, fragrant and spicy, and the chewing had the unique sweetness of starch and just the right amount of sourness to enhance the flavor, and the breath was full of the aroma of green onions, oil, and spicy peppers.
"It's just too little." Shang Jianyao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and "helped" Long Yuehong added.
Jiang Baimian never treated the team members badly, turned his body halfway, and shouted loudly:
"Boss, one more bowl, no, two bowls."
She felt that such a bowl should not be enough, although two bowls were a little too much, they could be divided between Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
In this way, they ate and sweated on their foreheads.
This is an indescribable enjoyment in the cold winter.
Then, as soon as I checked out, it cost 18 draceas.
——The small bowl of oil spicy noodles is 1.5 drasse, the large bowl is 3 drasse, and the "old tune group" ate a total of six bowls, which is close to two olei.
After recovering two 1-dracey banknotes, Jiang Baimian counted the remaining banknotes with a slight distress:
"I can't help but spend this money!"
They only exchanged 10 ores in total, and ate almost one-fifth of a meal.
This money can last for two days.
"Let's go, go to the Hunter Guild and get a badge. If you want to stay longer in the future, you have to make money to support yourself." Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao, who ate the most.
At this time, they had returned to the street and became a pair again.
Shang Jianyao touched his stomach and said regretfully:
"The second bowl should be changed to another side, the one with meat."
"As long as you can make money, you will definitely do it next time." Jiang Baimian didn't dislike this guy just thinking about eating.
This is because their "old tune team" has taken a long detour and there is not much food left, so their current priority is to solve the problem of survival.
Of course, if you can contact the intelligence personnel, there is a high probability that there will be other channels to obtain supplies.
On the streets of Wild Grass City in the afternoon, the sun was no longer so warm, and the cold wind burst into the clothes of pedestrians.
This caused many people not to go out unless necessary, and the streets were extremely deserted except for the patrol officers of Weeds City with submachine guns and the relic hunters who were in a hurry to forage.
After arriving at the central square, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao turned towards West Street, and within a few steps, they saw the Hunter Guild occupying an entire building.
Under the imitation cornices and bucket arches, there is a mottled white wall and a small light bulb pieced together of the "Hunter Guild".
The latter has two languages, and you can imagine how bright and striking it will be at night, when the electricity is turned on.
On the ground floor of the guild, all the rooms were opened, leaving only pillars and walls that could not be knocked down, forming a very wide hall
At this time, the row of doors was open for people to enter and exit at will.
On the walls and pillars next to different doors, the same large black characters are written:
"Working hours: 8:30 am to 8:30 pm.
"Remember: Our staff have the legal right to bear firearms.
"Warning: Please consciously maintain order.
「……」
When Jiang Baimian was browsing through these contents, a group of people came out of the hunter guild.
Two of them are quite conspicuous.
One is a robot, the overall color is silver-black, with smooth lines and obvious texture, and its eyes are like two light bulbs, flashing with red light; One is a man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, sharp eyes, five fingers on his right hand are long, a piece of iron black, and the corresponding part above the wrist joint is covered by the sleeves and cannot be seen.
"Robotic arm ......" Jiang Baimian knew that he was talking loudly, so he had to hold it in his heart.
And the relic hunters who came and went were all looking at this group of people with envy.
Bai Chen's gaze was also moving with them.
"There are intelligent robots...... It's amazing!" Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.
Even if it is not a combat-type intelligent robot, it is a good helper for survival in the wild!
They will not be hungry, they will not be tired, they will not be afraid of poison gas, they will not be afraid of ordinary firearms, they will not be afraid of harsh environments, and they will have a super load-bearing capacity.
The only question is, how to provide them with energy.
Unfortunately, since the destruction of the old world, there are no more than three places that can still stably produce intelligent robots.
In the past years, many humans have been able to survive all kinds of dangers thanks to intelligent robots as companions.
– Even in the old world, intelligent robots have not yet really become popular.
Jiang Baimian looked at it for a while, withdrew his gaze, and asked Shang Jianyao beside him with a smile:
"If you were given the opportunity to install a robotic arm, what function would you prefer?"
"Open the can." Shang Jianyao replied very seriously.
「…… It is used for real purposes." Jiang Baimian grinded his teeth.
As they spoke, the two had already walked into the hall of the Hunter Guild.
On the ceiling here, there are fluorescent lamps that shine a white glow, and it seems that there is no need to save electricity at all.
In the hall, around the round table in the middle, there are many tables scattered, and each table has a machine with its own LCD screen.
At the large round platform, there was a super huge screen hanging above, scrolling relatively slowly to display various tasks.
Below the screen, there are windows, each with black electronic instruments.
Looking at it like this, Jiang Baimian felt that the inside and outside were completely different worlds.
The content of science and technology varies greatly.
She immediately found an empty window and pulled Shang Jianyao over.
Glancing at the clean and refreshing girl behind the window, Jiang Baimian said with a smile:
"Registered hunter."
"Fill out the form. If you can't write, I'll fill it in for you." The female staff member handed out two pieces of paper, not enthusiastic but not arrogant either.
The content of the form is very simple, that is, regular items such as name, gender, age, etc., Jiang Baimian took the pen at the window and filled it out.
Not to mention, making up fake names is quite difficult.
In order to prevent Shang Jianyao from having a chance to play, Jiang Baimian helped him complete the form.
After submitting the form, they took photos and recorded their fingerprints in front of the black instrument in the window.
Soon, they were given two "Hunter Badges".
The badge is brass-colored as a whole, with a blurred human face and a knife and a gun on the front, and a chip inlaid on the back.
"You are now 'novice hunters', work hard to take on tasks, and soon you will be able to become 'official hunters'." When the staff handed out the badge, they said the same words of blessing.
Jiang Baimian threw down the badge and said to Shang Jianyao with a smile:
"Let's go, let's see what tasks there are."
Shang Jianyao immediately pinned the badge to his chest, very solemnly.
