C3713 Progress(last part)
The cost of making a new one was too high. Repairing it was normal.
Today, the Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant was particularly crazy because there was a group of people standing around it. Normally, there were only a few people, but today, there were more than twenty people surrounding the crystal box and looking at the Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant like it was a monkey. The Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant had a bad temper, and it was only covered by the magic crystal. Otherwise, even if there was only one of it, it would still dare to charge at the twenty or so people.
"Fall!" An old man in his sixties was wearing thick glasses, with grizzled hair, and he was wearing a white coat. His gait and words were slow and unhurried. In this laboratory, he was the oldest.
A young man in the same white coat took a bag of powder, opened a small lid on the crystal cover, and quickly sprinkled the powder in. Before the Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant could react, the lid was replaced, and the Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant, which was shooting up, broke through the powder and hit the lid.
Clang!
The Scarlet Flame Green Mire Ant fell back into the crystal cover, and everyone stared with wide eyes. After a few seconds, the Scarlet Flame Green Mire Ant began to slow down.
"It's a success!" they all cried out in joy. The cry had provoked the Crimson Fire and Green Mud Ball Ant. It tried to hit the crystal cover with all its strength, but the frequency was not as high as before.
"Quiet down, let's see how long it can last." The old man adjusted his glasses, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. After working so hard for so long, he finally had some results.
The effects were good. The sluggish state of the Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant had lasted for almost ten minutes, and on the battlefield, even ten seconds was important, let alone ten minutes. One second could decide life and death, and ten minutes could definitely kill the Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant a hundred times over.
"It's a success!"
The laboratory burst into cheers. This time, the old man didn't stop them. Although there was still a series of data to be verified, he was confident that there wouldn't be any problems.
...
White Tiger City.
There wasn't a lot of people around. No matter if it was a restaurant or another, there was no one at all. The shopkeepers sighed, the waiters yawned out of boredom. They couldn't sleep, they had nothing to do, and if they wanted to ask for leave, the shopkeepers wouldn't allow it, so they had to wait.
As a shop assistant, he wanted to have a client, but he also wanted to have no client, and with a client, he wouldn't lose his job. In the grocery store next door, there used to be eighteen shop assistants, but now there were only twelve left, a third of them cut off.
The general store ran roots, stones, bones, teeth, spikes, iron, crockery, bowstrings, cards, nails... There were a wide variety of things, each one of which could be managed separately, and the owner was rich, with all sorts of materials, quantity but quality, and at the peak of the store, there were thirty-one employees.
After the rains and epidemics and mutant epidemics and red fire and green mud balls, the boss, who had repeatedly promised his employees never to lay off, could not stand it, but he did keep his promise not to lay off his employees, but the employees couldn't get on either, and the boss thought of a brilliant idea: he would take paid leave, rest at home, and get the basic salary.
The staff no longer had to work, but the pay cut, and the boss still had to pay, but the cost had been reduced a lot, and so on and so forth, waiting and waiting, to see who couldn't hold out, and if the staff first couldn't hold out and went to look for a job, then the boss would be justifiably fired.
In view of the state of the grocery store, the waiters of the surrounding stores were on edge at work. They were worried about their work and also worried about the safety of their stores. The mutated epidemics hadn't died down yet, and they were still roaming around the city. At the same time, the Crimson Fire Green Mire Ants were constantly threatening the city, and no one knew whether the next second there would suddenly be a wave of Crimson Fire Green Mire Ants coming out of the stores. Many of the stores had already fallen, and every day new stores were occupied by the Crimson Fire Green Mire Ants, and there were very few waiters who could escape.
"Sis, how much did you get today?" Wu Bao Er ran into the shop, grabbed dozens of skewers with both hands, mutton, beef, duck intestines, chicken hearts, pig lungs... Yang Weiwei followed behind, also carrying a large bag of snacks.
"Sis, eat!" Yang Weiwei immediately placed the snacks in front of Wu Ping'er.
"Today's harvest is not bad. It's more than three hundred pounds." Yang Weiwei revealed a smile. In the past two days, the players from White Tiger City weren't strong enough, and they only took in a little more than two hundred catties. Today, in the afternoon, they broke through three hundred catties, and if nothing unexpected happened, they could break through four hundred catties before they got off work at night.
Dongfang Qingyu asked the three sisters to collect the Crimson Flame Green Mud Ball Ants. At first, the three of them chose to walk through the alleys of the village, but they soon realized that the efficiency was too low. How many people could they meet while walking? The people they met might not have Scarlet Flame Green Mire Ants for sale, but the people who wanted to sell Scarlet Flame Green Mire Ants couldn't find them, so the three of them decided to rent a shop and buy it.
As a result, the efficiency rose sharply, and they didn't feel tired at all. Other people only bought one Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant for research purposes. They bought three or five, or at most twenty or thirty of them, which was enough. They didn't have to worry about running out of supplies since the street was full of Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants. Wu Baoer and the other two were different. They weighed the ants according to their weight. If there were too few of them, they wouldn't take them. If there were three or five or seven or eight of them, they wouldn't want to join in the fun.
The rich trio became famous in one shot, and their fame quickly spread throughout the entire White Tiger City. In just one day, players knew that if they wanted to sell the Scarlet Flame Green-Golden Mud Ball Ants, they just needed to find a trio.
Normally, the morning was relatively free, as everyone was busy killing Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants. The afternoon shift was the busiest time, so after lunch, Wu Bao Er, who couldn't sit still, didn't take an afternoon nap. She pulled Yang Weiwei out shopping. The economy of White Tiger City was a little bad, but the gourmet festival was still very popular. After all, whether it was war or peace, eating was inevitable.
"'Wow, my sister is awesome!'" Wu Bao'er deliberately pretended to be in admiration, but unfortunately, she was ignored by Wu Pinger. Wu Bao'er gave half of the skewers to her sister and put the packed Scarlet Flame Green Golden Mire Ants into her spatial ring. Just as she was about to send them to the Black Tortoise City, she suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the opposite side of the street, followed by a burst of noise, as if buying something. Wu Bao'er was a person who liked to watch the show, so she rushed out with a swoosh, and Wu Ping'er couldn't even stop her, and not long after, Wu Bao'er returned.
"In this day and age, there are all kinds of strange people who buy the dead branches of the Hell Tiger Cane. Why do you want to buy them? You can't eat them, you can't drink them."
"Just because we're useless doesn't mean others are useless. The Crimson Fire Green Mud Ball Ant is useless to others, but Brother-in-law can use it," Yang Weiwei said.
"Makes sense. I'm going to the 'Black Tortoise City'. Are you going?" Wu Baoer asked Yang Weiwei.
"No!" Yang Weiwei was very tempted, but she looked at Wu Pinger and shook her head. Once the two left, Wu Pinger would be the only one left at the busiest time. This was not good.
"Ok. I'll go there alone. When I come back, I'll bring you some glutinous rice cakes." Wu Baoer giggled and then left.
