The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Decoration market.

When Yu Hanjiang came here, he heard some decoration workers complaining: "When I went to buy goods today, the price of wood doubled, what's the matter?" "The prices of tiles, kitchen utensils, and home appliances have all increased. What a ghost!"

Next to her was a middle-aged woman with her hips crossed, arguing with the decoration company: "What do you mean by not pretending, huh? I paid you the decoration fee yesterday, and you suddenly broke the contract today. If the contract you signed doesn't count, it doesn't count. Wang Fa!"

The young man beside her whispered: "Boss, are you doing too much? The contract has been signed, and the advance payment has been paid. It is agreed to start work today. I am still waiting for this house to get married."

The woman said: "That's right! My son's wedding is three months away. If you don't want to pretend this house, you won't pretend it. Believe it or not, I'll sue you!"

The boss of the decoration company was also very stubborn. He slapped the contract on the table and said, "All the materials have doubled in price, and the advance payment you gave is not enough for me to buy sand and cement! I have pushed all the customers away. If you like to sue, sue, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow!"

The woman rushed over and tore the other party's collar forcefully: "Are you still reasonable?"

A group of people wrestled together, and the sound of things being smashed came from the decoration company.

Today's decoration market is very chaotic. Those who paid a deposit in advance to buy furniture a few days ago, the price doubled when they came to pick up the goods today. Of course, the customer didn't accept it, and the boss didn't want to sell it at the original price. The two sides argued endlessly, and Yu Hanjiang's ears were almost deafened.

Fortunately, he chose the most hidden underground warehouse.

At this time, there were only a few companies unloading goods in the underground warehouse. Yu Hanjiang went to a nearby hardware store to buy a lock of the best quality, and went to replace the lock of the original warehouse—others might not think of renovating the warehouse in the decoration market. But just in case, it is safer to change the lock. The anti-theft lock he bought is very strong, it is difficult to pry it open, and it will take a long time to smash it directly.

After changing the lock, Yu Hanjiang left the underground warehouse calmly.

He directly put on the invisibility cloak, spent 30 minutes of invisibility, and made a big circle in the decoration market...

No trace of the challenger was found.

It's no wonder that most challengers will go to the supermarket to stock up first, who has nothing to do to buy furniture in the decoration market?

After the investigation, he drew two strokes on the paper to draw the layout of the entire decoration market. Once someone ransacked the warehouse in the middle of the night, the escape route Yu Hanjiang would also be marked on the map.

After finishing all this, he walked around again and found that a decoration company was very noisy, and the glass was smashed, because the employees clamored for double wages, but the boss refused to pay, and the employees said they would go on strike.

It is foreseeable that within a few days, there will be a wave of strikes in all walks of life in the world.

The salary is settled on a daily basis, which is a huge hole dug for this world by the Spade gatekeepers!

Supermarket.

Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge were so shocked by the spectacular scene before them that they could not speak.

The supermarket, which was orderly last night, is completely in disarray this morning. The entrance of the supermarket is crowded with people, almost crowded to the chest and back, and there is an endless queue at the checkout. Mineral water, instant noodles, milk, chocolate on the wall... were all evacuated!

The entire supermarket is full of people, but the shelves are empty, as if it has experienced a catastrophe.

Shao Qingge frowned and said, "There are many cautious and sensitive people in this world. It seems that the doubling of prices this morning has sounded the alarm for everyone, and they all came to the supermarket to stock up."

Prices have only doubled so far, so don’t worry too much if you have savings on hand. What everyone is more worried about is that prices will continue to skyrocket, so there is always nothing wrong with stocking up.

There were a lot of people buying rice and noodles, and an old lady pushed a cart full of pork belly.

The queue at the checkout is getting longer and longer, and people who only realized it after going to bed late in the morning are still squeezing towards the supermarket.

There were many people coming in and slow going out, and the crowd gradually became restless. Suddenly, a young man was carrying a carton of milk, and without paying, he jumped out of the railing at the checkout and ran away.The security guard of the supermarket hurriedly turned around and chased him, and a group of people behind him started shouting: "Someone is escaping the order!"

The girls at the cash register were forced to sweat profusely.

There is no mobile payment in this world, and you have to settle accounts and give change when you buy things. The girl at the checkout said with a sad face, "I don't have enough change, call the manager!"

The manager came to maintain order, but there were more and more people in the queue. An old man had a heart attack and fell to the ground. There was another commotion in the crowd. Due to insufficient change reserves, the cashier could not give change, and I don’t know who took the lead. , Pushing the shopping cart and rushing out: "Fucking us to pay, all prices doubled, is this supermarket trying to steal money?"

There are also a few young and strong guys who escaped the order and ran away without paying.

But most people are quite qualified on the first day, and only double the price, which is within everyone's tolerance. Although many people are impatient, they still wait for the manager to get the change.

Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge looked at each other.

It was such a mess on the first day, and the next... I can't even imagine it.

In order to avoid being affected by a large number of excited crowds, the two quickly left the supermarket and returned to the homestay.

When Yu Hanjiang came back, Xiao Lou was cooking lunch in the kitchen.

He boiled two packs of dried noodles in the pot, put in a few green vegetables, seasoned with salt and vinegar, mixed in some chopped green onions, added a few poached eggs, and three bowls of "sour soup noodles" were successfully baked.

There are pickled radish strips in the lunch box on the table, and a canned fish is also opened, and some braised pork jerky is placed on the plate, and a simple lunch is ready.

The noodles cooked by Xiao Lou are neither soft nor hard, and the taste is just right. It is especially appetizing when paired with delicious sour soup.

Yu Hanjiang only ate some biscuits for breakfast. At this time, facing the hot noodles, he quickly ate a bowl, drank the soup until there was no residue left, looked at Xiao Lou, and asked expectantly: "Is there any more? ?”

While eating the noodles, Shao Qingge praised: "Professor Xiao is good at cooking, I want to have another bowl."

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "I've made another pot, it's enough."

For Xiao Lou, this is the simplest pasta.Sour noodle soup is very nourishing, and it is easy to make, fragrant and delicious, at least much more delicious than instant noodles with heavy seasoning.So when he was stocking up yesterday, he bought a box of dried noodles, and planned to eat the noodles himself if there was fire.

After the three of them finished their lunch, Xiao Lou opened another canned fruit, poured it into a disposable lunch box, and gave each of them a plastic spoon.

Shao Qingge scooped up a spoonful of fruit juice from a canned fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, squinted his eyes contentedly, and felt a happy mood of "following the great god to have meat to eat"—letting him stock up on his own, he never expected There is canned fruit this baby!

Yu Hanjiang was also very emotional while eating the sweet and fresh canned fruit.

Bring Professor Xiao with you, you don't have to worry about traveling at home.Xiao Lou is really a careful, gentle and intelligent man, any woman would be too happy to marry him... Yu Hanjiang was thinking wildly while eating fruit.

The cost of a lunch is actually less than 40 yuan, which is equivalent to 4000 gold coins, but the three of them are very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Yu Hanjiang continued to go out to investigate, leaving Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge to stay in the B&B to turn on the air conditioner.

He is used to suffering.

At the hottest time, he lurked in the woods under the 40-degree sun for several hours, just to catch a murderer. His whole body was covered with mosquito bites. He didn't mind it, and continued to track with some cool oil.However, Professor Xiao is gentle and gentle. It can be seen that his family background is good and he has never suffered any hardships since he was a child. Shao Qingge doesn't look like he can endure hardships.

The temperature outside had already exceeded 40 degrees. With them, the three people's actions would be too big of a goal—so Yu Hanjiang simply acted alone, not allowing the two to follow.Xiao Lou couldn't hold him back, so he had to stay at the homestay and wait for him to come back.

The scorching sun is burning, and the road on the street is about to be melted by the sun.

Yu Hanjiang went out this time mainly to investigate the dynamics of the entire city and see where problems are likely to occur.

The aborigines in this world are all free people, with great variables and many challengers. Yu Hanjiang is worried that serious group riots will occur in a few days and affect them.

Once the homestay can't stay, he has to take Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge to transfer immediately.

It's always right to leave a way out for yourself.

The surrounding construction sites and unfinished buildings are all good places to go.

These places can at least keep out the wind and rain. He bought a sleeping bag and laid it on the ground to sleep overnight.

Yu Hanjiang borrowed a bicycle from the owner of the homestay, and rode to the outskirts of the city.After riding for more than half an hour, he found a construction site——

This is a three-story building, not like commercial housing, but more like a shopping mall.The real estate has just been topped out, the windows have not been installed, and the facade of the entire building has not been painted, it is the most primitive red brick.

Affected by the doubling of prices, the construction site is in chaos.

Many migrant workers demanded that their wages be doubled today. The boss tried to persuade everyone with a microphone, and his words were almost worn out. All the machines on the construction site stopped working, and the construction status has come to a standstill.

When Yu Hanjiang came, the workers were gathering together, angrily shouting to go on strike. The boss tried to persuade everyone, saying that he would find a way as soon as possible, and the price would definitely come down. Don't worry...

The mood of the workers has stabilized slightly, and the construction site has resumed normal operation.

But Yu Hanjiang knew that this kind of stability wouldn't last long. Prices would rise tomorrow, but the increase in wages couldn't keep up with the crazy soaring prices. The construction site would be completely deserted within three days.

There are many empty rooms on the third floor. Although there are no windows, the requirements for the survival secret room should not be too high.

Yu Hanjiang used this place as an alternative base, and if the homestay couldn't live, he would take Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge to transfer immediately.

After inspecting the construction site, Yu Hanjiang immediately went to the surrounding area - this place is deserted, and there will be no big crisis in the later transfer, and it should be able to survive.

**

Xiao Lou waited anxiously at the B&B.

Yu Hanjiang didn't come back until five o'clock in the afternoon.

After seeing him, Xiao Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and asked, "Are you all right?"

Yu Hanjiang gave him a reassuring look: "It's okay. Today is only the first day. No one hit, smashed, or robbed on the street. It's just that some workers are clamoring to go on strike. The ordinary people are a little anxious, but they can bear it."

Shao Qingge sighed: "Currently, the water and electricity supply is normal. The office workers are blowing the air conditioner at home, and the kitchen has food. Of course, it will not be too uncomfortable. Tomorrow is Sunday, and the situation will be even more serious. On the Monday after tomorrow, There is likely to be a massive wave of strikes."

Xiao Lou said worriedly: "I don't know how long we can live here."

Yu Hanjiang patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, I've already found a spare place."

Xiao Lou was stunned: "You go out in the afternoon just to find a spare place?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "There is a three-story building under construction in the outskirts of the city. The workers are on strike. If they really go on strike in a few days, the building will become unfinished. If the urban area is not safe, we will move out at that time. Live in the past."

Xiao Lou: "..."

It was a hot day, and Yu Hanjiang was sweating all over his head. He went out all afternoon. It turned out that he wanted to find a way out in advance.

Team Yu is really reliable, Xiao Lou hurriedly took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him: "It's so hot outside, it's hard work for Team Yu, drink some water first, and take a bath quickly." Seeing that Yu Hanjiang's short-sleeved T-shirt had already Drenched in sweat and stuck tightly to his body, Xiao Lou said again: "Take off your clothes when you take a shower, and I'll wash them for you later. It's full of sweat, and it will be uncomfortable to wear."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Thank you."

Shao Qingge looked at the two of them with a half-smile, got up and said, "I'm going back to the hotel first, you guys talk."

Xiao Lou asked, "Come over for dinner?"

Shao Qingge waved his hand: "You don't need to be my share, I'll eat the reserve food tonight."

Xiao Lou nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful."

After Shao Qingge left, Yu Hanjiang took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

As a result, Yu Hanjiang had just finished taking a shower when there was a knock on the door.

Shao Qingge went back and forth, and said with a sullen face: "The hotel where I stayed, a box of things hidden under the bed was all stolen."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang: "..."

Why are you so easily stolen? !

Shao Qingge pressed his temples with a headache: "Do I have a face that thieves like very much?"

Xiao Lou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Maybe it's because you exude the aura of a rich man? You were targeted when you checked into the hotel?"

Shao Qingge felt that the matter was not simple, so he lowered his voice, looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Captain Yu, I think the challengers who live in our hotel want to use another way to clear the level - steal other challengers' supplies. Just now in the hotel lobby, Two girls also cried and said that they lost two boxes of things, I suspect that there will be professional robbers among the challengers this time."

Yu Hanjiang's expression immediately became serious: "They haven't stolen the Shanshui B&B because there are too many people here, so it's not easy to act rashly, so first pick some challengers who are alone?"

Shao Qingge thought it was very possible: "How about you quit the room and live at my place. My place has already been stolen once, but it will be safer."

Yu Hanjiang asked: "How big is your room? Can three people fit in?"

Shao Qingge said: "I booked a standard room with two beds. The area is quite large, and you can take turns sleeping on the floor."

Yu Hanjiang quickly made a decision: "Let Xiao Lou go live with you, and I'll stay here." His eyes flashed sharply, "I want to see who dares to snatch other people's supplies to pass the level .”

Xiao Lou said, "I'll stay too."

Shao Qingge looked at them with a headache: "Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Xiao Lou smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we have a way to escape."

Once he realizes that something is wrong, he can open Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring to hide for half an hour. Besides, with Team Yu, a policeman with a high level of force, it is common for Team Yu to bring down a few thieves. Xiao Lou Not worried about safety issues.

The two ended up staying at Shanshui B&B.

However, nothing happened that night, and no thieves came to the door.

When it was dawn, a reminder popped up in the floating boxes of all challengers at the same time——

Affected by the financial turmoil, prices in this city doubled from yesterday's level.

Xiao Lou: "..."

I am!

Seeing the news, Yu Hanjiang almost swears.

The price of the secret room of Spades 3 has increased exponentially?

In other words, if the price of goods doubles every day, after 7 days, the price will soar all the way to the 2th power of 7 = 128 times?

A bottle of mineral water worth 200 gold coins will turn into 25600 gold coins on the seventh day.A pack of instant noodles worth 500 gold coins will increase to 64000 gold coins in the last day?Foods such as canned fruit and chocolate will become unaffordable luxuries.

The world is crazy!

The author has something to say:

原物价2块人民币的矿泉水第一天变成4块、第二天8块、16块、32、64、128、256块，指数级增涨。

A bottle of mineral water costs 256 yuan, which is scary to think about.
