"Okay, then I'll pack you ten steamed buns."

As Li Jie spoke, he took a bag and filled it with ten steamed buns for Peter Parker, and gave him an extra one.

After Peter Parker took the steamed bun, he immediately turned around and shouted to the crowd:

“Don’t miss it if you pass by.

Big steamed buns fresh from the pot, steaming hot!

I, Peter Parker, can guarantee with my personal integrity that even if this steamed bun cannot satisfy your taste buds, it will definitely satisfy your stomach.

First come, first served, once they are all gone!"

"Give me one."

"Give me one too."

"Well, Peter, you are right. This steamed bun is much better than that hard bread."

"Last time I ate hard bread and it made my teeth break. I still prefer this soft steamed bun right out of the pan."

"Look at how big this steamed bun is. It's really worth one contribution point."

"Boss, give me ten more."

"I came here first, give me ten first!"

......

One contribution point is not much, and Peter Parker has a very good reputation here, so everyone is willing to spend a contribution point to buy a steamed bun to try it out.

Everyone who has eaten the steamed buns made by Li Jie praises their deliciousness.

In the end, everyone was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to buy it, so they just started scrambling for it.

"What are you doing?"

"Buying steamed buns?"

“Can’t I queue up to buy steamed buns?”

"I told you to line up, did you hear me?"

......

Sabretooth and Bullseye appeared out of nowhere, and after some yelling and shouting, people all lined up obediently.

Seeing people queuing up to buy steamed buns, Bullseye asked with a puzzled look:

"Sabertooth Tiger, do you think that thing called steamed bun is really that delicious?"

"Food made from flour, and only noodles, is sold for one contribution point each. How delicious can it be?"

The sabertooth snorted disdainfully.

Bullseye nodded and said, "Yeah, I think so too."

He licked his lips and said,

"But I still want to try one."

"If you want to eat, just go buy it. It seems like no one can afford it with one contribution point."

Sabretooth preached.

"Yes, just one contribution point."

Bullseye said as he walked to the front of the team and stretched out his hand to Li Jie.

"John, give me two steamed buns."

Li Jie raised his eyelids and glanced at Bullseye. It was obvious that this guy was here to eat a free meal:

"If you want to eat steamed buns, queue up."

Bullseye frowned and said, "Hey, John, look carefully, it's me.

Do I still need to queue?"

Li Jie smiled and said, "Because you are a market manager, you need to abide by the market rules and set an example.

I guess you don't want people to say behind your back that the market administrator is the first to break the rules and bring shame to Mr. Jin Bing, right? "

Bullseye hesitated and withdrew his hand.

He originally wanted to cut in line by relying on his status as a market manager, and he didn't even intend to pay for the steamed buns.

But after hearing what Li Jie said, he couldn't do that anymore.

"Okay, I'll get in line."

Bullseye snorted coldly and walked to the back of the team.

Others didn't dare to provoke Bullseye, and the person in front of Bullseye immediately said:

"Ouch, I suddenly feel like going to the bathroom."

After speaking, he ran away.

Bullseye snorted and secretly said, "You are a sensible boy."

"My mother asked me to go back for dinner."

"I have business over there."

"Hey, you dropped your money."

"Why do I feel a little dizzy? No, I have to see a doctor."

......

Soon, there was no one left in front of the bullseye.

Bullseye came to Li Jie again and said proudly: "John, can you give me two steamed buns now?"

"Sorry, it's sold out. If you want to eat it, come earlier next time."

Li Jie opened the lid of the cage and let Ba Yan take a look. There was indeed not even a single steamed bun left inside.

Bullseye's expression froze instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "John, are you kidding me?"

"How can this be called playing with you?

You can see that there are indeed no steamed buns left. Can I still make one for you?"

Li Jie acted innocent and spoke in a high voice.

Although the people around didn't dare to come over, they also looked sideways.

Sabertooth reached out and grabbed Bullseye and said:

"Forget it, there are too many people here."

"What are you looking at?"

Bullseye shouted to the people around him, then said to Li Jie with a sneer on his face,

"John, you're right, even if the steamed buns are gone, I can't ask you to change them for me.

See you tomorrow.”

After Bullseye left, Peter Parker stepped forward and said:

"John, I just don't understand, why do you have to provoke that guy?

After all, he is the market manager, and you will inevitably have to deal with that guy if you set up a stall here. What if he causes trouble for you?"

"It's okay. I just can't stand that guy's arrogance."

Li Jie said indifferently.

Bullseye has died in his hands several times, so he doesn't mind letting him die a few more times.

Just as Li Jie and Peter Parker were packing up, a man with a scarf wrapped on his head came to the stall.

"It's gone. Come earlier next time."

Peter Parker said without even looking up.

"thump!"

Before Peter Parker could finish his words, the man suddenly fell to the ground.

"Hey, sir, what's wrong with you?"

Peter Parker hurried over and helped the man up. After pulling off the veil covering his face, he found that his face was pale and bloodless.

"Tony."

Li Jie recognized the haggard face as Tony Stark.

"You know him?"

Peter Parker turned and looked at Li Jie.

"Get him here."

Li Jie and Peter Parker carried Tony Stark to the back of the stall, avoided people's eyes, and tore off Tony Stark's shirt.

There was a most primitive arc reactor in Tony Stark's chest, and around the arc reactor were black blood vessels like earthworms.

“This is Mr. Norman’s reaction device, and he actually managed to copy it.

But what happened to him?"

Peter Parker asked in surprise.

Li Jie was already very experienced. He could tell at a glance that Tony Stark was suffering from palladium poisoning, so he quietly extracted some of the palladium element in Tony's body.

“He is a refugee.”

Peter Parker suddenly preached.

Peter Parker had already explained this to Li Jie before.

The survivors in this world can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is the survivors who live in the Osborn base and have verified their identities.

The second category is the scavengers who are unwilling to live in the Osborne base and make a living by plundering, and another category is the refugees.

Refugees will neither rob like scavengers, nor can they integrate into the larger life of the Osborne base. They are usually exiled outside the base after committing a crime.

"John, we have to report this."

Peter Parker preaches to Li Jie.

Li Jie hurriedly stopped him: “Peter, you see he can’t hurt anyone in this state.

If we drive him out of the base like this, he will be dead.

Why not wait until he recovers a little bit? "

Peter Parker said with some embarrassment: "But if we don't report it, it will implicate us once he is discovered."

"Don't worry, Peter. I won't take him to your place."

Li Jie preached.

"John, that's not what I meant."

Peter Parker preached hurriedly, but he was very conflicted.

On the one hand, he couldn't bear to watch Tony Stark die out of conscience, and on the other hand, he wanted to report it according to the rules.

"Ah."

Tony Stark groaned and opened his eyes, looking at Li Jie and Peter Parker a little confused.

"Drink some water."

Li Jie first got some water for Tony Stark.

"Thank you."

Tony Stark said gratefully that he recovered a little after drinking some water, but his body still looked very weak.

Peter Parker hesitated for a moment, then took out a bun from the bag and handed it to Tony Stark.

Tony Stark took it and swallowed it in big gulps.

A steamed bun the size of a fist went into my stomach in just two or three bites without even chewing it.

Although he ate a little faster, the system still gave feedback and gained an improvement point from Tony Stark.

Peter Parker knew that the life of the refugees outside the base was like hell. After seeing Tony Stark wolfing down his food, he couldn't bear it and decided to wait until Tony recovered a little as Li Jie said.

"Eat slowly, there's still more here."

Peter Parker hurriedly handed Tony Stark another steamed bun.

Just like last time, Tony Stark swallowed the steamed bun in just two or three bites.

After suppressing his hunger, Tony Stark noticed that his Ark reaction device was exposed. He quickly covered it with clothes, then stood up and said:

"Thank you both. I will definitely find a way to repay you after I get through this difficult time."

"Wait a moment."

Li Jie stopped Tony Stark who was about to leave.

Tony Stark knew that he had a special identity and it was very dangerous to wander around in this base. He asked vigilantly:

"Anything else?"

"It's ok, I just wanted to ask where you are going?

I just thought I might be able to help you."

Li Jie forced a smile and asked.

Tony Stark smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I don't think anyone in this world can help me."

"Not always.

Let me guess, it has something to do with palladium, right?"

Li Jie acted mysterious.

"how do you know?"

Tony Stark asked in surprise, then took a step back and asked defensively,

"Who are you and why do you know about me?"

"Don't be so nervous, Tony.

I told you, I just want to help you."

Li Jie preached.

"Do you know who I am?"

Tony Stark turned and ran like a frightened bird.

"Hey, where are you going?" Peter Parker asked.

Tony Stark fell while running, but after getting up, he accelerated forward again.

"What on earth is going on with this guy?"

Peter Parker said speechlessly.

"Peter, I have something else to do, could you help me pack these things?

Thank you. "

After saying this, Li Jie also turned and left.

Peter Parker…

Did I promise to help you?

What kind of people are they?

Tony Stark stumbled all the way, avoiding the crowd and came to a dirty alley in the city.

After looking around and making sure there was no one there, he opened the manhole cover and went in.

After walking in the sewer with a bad smell for three or four minutes, a light suddenly appeared in front of us, along with a large iron gate.

After seeing the iron door, Tony Stark finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward and knocked on it rhythmically.

"Boom."

A window on the iron door opened, and a pair of eyes turned behind it, looking Tony Stark up and down.

Tony Stark took off his scarf and preached to the other party:

"I made an appointment with Madam Gao."

"Boom."

The window was closed again, and then there was a creaky sound and the iron door was opened.

Two guys with tattoos all over their bodies walked out from behind the door. One of them pointed the AK rifle in his hand at Tony Stark, while the other one stepped forward and examined Tony Stark from head to toe.

After making sure that Tony Stark had no weapons or equipment, he took out a hood and threw it to Tony Stark, saying:

"Bring it on."

Tony Stark obediently put on the hood, and then the other party handcuffed his hands.

"Come with me."

The tattooed man walked in with Tony Stark and walked forward.

I didn't know how long I walked around, but finally I stopped.

"Let him go."

A woman ordered.

After the handcuffs were opened, Tony Stark took off the hood and saw a white-haired woman sitting on a shabby sofa under the dim light opposite.

Even though the surrounding environment was dirty, the woman washed herself very cleanly and looked exquisite.

"Mrs. Gao."

Tony Stark placed his hands on his chest and bowed.

"Tony, we finally meet.

To be honest, I thought you were dead out there and that my trip would be in vain."

Mrs. Gao teased.

Tony Stark forced a smile:

“Thanks to Madam Gao, I am still alive.

It's just that we agreed to trade outside before, why did we suddenly change it to here?"

Mrs. Gao flicked the ash off her cigarette and said, "Tony, do you know how hard it is to get what you want?

It would be nearly impossible to get it off base, and the price you offered isn't worth the risk.

If you want to ship it out, you have to pay extra.”

Tony Stark thought for a moment and said, "Can I take a look at the stuff first?"

"Clap clap."

Mrs. Gao clapped her hands.

"Creak."

A dull sound was heard, and a wall on the side opened, revealing a warehouse filled with various sophisticated instruments.

Tony Stark wanted to step forward excitedly, but was stopped by Mrs. Gao's men.

"Tony, why are you so anxious?

Once you pay, they are all yours.”

Mrs. Gao said as she put the cigarette in her mouth and took a puff, looking at Tony Stark with a smile on her face.

"I do not have money."

Tony Stark preaches.

The smile gradually disappeared from Mrs. Gao's face. She stared at Tony Stark with a cannibalistic gaze and said in a low voice:

“Sorry, but hearing gets worse as people get older.

Tony, could you please repeat what you just said?"
