Chowhound Survival Rules

After collecting a dry toenail from Hell Flame Bamboo, Chi Huo twitched the corner of his mouth and left the plantation warehouse.In fact, he could have asked Xiaobai to put those small bamboo shoots directly into the storage room in the planting warehouse, but because the blow was a bit harsh, Chef Chi still did nothing.

But think of it as exercise before bed.

When Chi Huo was lying in the bedroom with an extra bedside table, he was quite relieved.Putting the clean Chi Xiaobai into his arms, Chi Huo closed his eyes with satisfaction, and then had a good night's sleep.

Just because you slept well doesn't mean you'll wake up equally well, though.

Chi Huo opened his eyes amidst a burst of sirens.

Suddenly jumping off the soft bed, Chi Huo opened the bedroom door and rushed to the cab, and then saw the situation outside from the laser screen in the cab.

What a familiar group of roller robots.

"..." Chi Huo had no expression on his face, didn't he build a building or pave the ground privately, what do these urban management robots want? !

"Chichi?" Chi Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and looked over with a puzzled expression, Chi Huo sighed, "It's okay, I'll go out and have a look, you go wash your face first."

Chi Huo quickly got out of his spaceship, and was surrounded by the roller urban management robots in an instant.

"Self-occupied public facilities, a fine of [-] energy gold coins! Please pay, please pay!!"

"Please pay!" "Please pay!"...

Chi Huo argued after hearing the words: "But the chip you gave me didn't have this item!"

Hearing this, the city manager of the leading blue roller robot blinked its yellow light bulb electronic eyes, and soon smiled mechanically in embarrassment: "The previous one is the initial version, after this time I will give you the latest version! "

Chi Huo twitched the corner of his mouth: "Were you kidding me before?"

Blue Roller Urban Management: "Hey... do our urban management have mission goals... well, actually, my younger brother and I want to upgrade the latest generation of robotic arms recently, so...hehe, I can give you a [-]% discount. "

Chi Huo: "...[-]% off, or I will complain to you. Don't take it lightly, I am a third-class noble in the empire."

Blue Roller City Management: "[-]% off, [-]% off! But I can give you the latest violation notice regulations for an extra [-] energy gold coins!"

Chi Huo rolled his eyes, and stretched out the silver bracelet on his left wrist: "No need." Even robots are so cunning these days, and he wondered why robots haven't ruled the world yet.

Hearing this, the urban management robot turned around in disappointment, and then deducted [-] energy gold coins from Chi Huo's bracelet.After scanning the newcomer's bracelet, there are still [-] energy gold coins. The head of the urban management robot feels that it is too sad for the machine not to be able to make more money.

And at this moment, a yellow roller urban management behind the urban management robot suddenly lit up with light bulbs, and said to Chi Huo: "Do you want a place to put your spaceship without being discovered by other forces on this planet? As long as you pay a little rent, we can give you an absolutely safe and hidden place to release the spaceship!"

Chi Huo's eyes lit up in an instant. He naturally knew that he couldn't always park the spaceship here, not to mention that his spaceship couldn't be transformed into a small restaurant now, it was just a cheating trolley, and it would be discovered after a long time, and more importantly It's because his spaceship is definitely different. Although it is not high-end, high-grade, arrogant and domineering, Chi Huo is still worried that his spaceship is too good. What if it is coveted and reconciled?Although Chi Huo thought about it a lot, he still thought it was a necessary idea.

"Well, where? Is it easily accessible? Is there surveillance satellite coverage? What's the population like?"

Chi Huo's question meant that there was something to be done, so the boss of the urban management robot was instantly happy, and after turning around in place several times, he said, "Don't worry about this! I'll let you live with us in our base. Don't worry, I'm in the second district Boss, I won’t let you suffer! Also, because we have intelligent robots, we can block the monitoring satellites, and the location is in the center of the second district, so we can fine you! Except that there are no human buildings for you to sleep and eat, but other Everything is up to your satisfaction!"

Hearing what the urban management robot said, Chi Huo was immediately moved. Compared with the hotels and rented houses on this planet, Chi Huo prefers his own spaceship, and it can also block surveillance satellites. This is really not easy. You know, The place where he is now is one of the very few places not covered by surveillance satellites, but it is a bit too remote, which is not conducive to his future business.

"How about the price?" Chi Huo squinted his eyes. Although the pile in front of him were robots, but judging from the fact that the blue roller only gave him a preliminary version of the manual for the sake of money, he would definitely not be able to say one that would make him happy. of the price.

"A year's rent of [-] energy gold coins!"

Hearing this, Chi Huo rolled his eyes at the roller robot that had turned into $$ eyes, turned around and left without saying a word, and thought he was being taken advantage of?

Seeing that Chi Huo was about to leave, more than a dozen urban management robots were a little anxious, and the blue one in the lead quickly flew to Chi Huo, his head circling anxiously: "Hey, don't go! That place is really good, traffic The convenient location is excellent, and the most important thing is that if you become a wanted criminal in the future, you can take off from us if you can’t go to other ports! We can also dance and sing for you to make you laugh, Mr. Bao is absolutely satisfied!”

Chi Huo paused when he heard the words, and asked blankly: "What is the minimum annual cost for a family in Yuanjingxing?"

"Fifty-five thousand energy...copper coins."

"That's 550 energy gold coins." After Chi Huo knew it, he felt that the amount he was fined was damn expensive! !

"Usually the price of an ordinary house will not be higher than fifteen times this price." Chi Huo continued with a wooden face: "That is to say, I only need more than 8000 energy gold coins to buy an ordinary house here, even if the location is good [-] energy gold coins for a little is already the sky, and renting land will only be cheaper than buying a house, so, do you have anything to say?"

Roller urban management robot: "..." It's been a long time since I met a human being with such a high level of mental power, and I can't cheat people so I'm not happy!

"I have nothing to say and I'm leaving."

"Woooooo! Bullying robots have no IQ! Count your five thousand energy gold coins a year! You have to pay at least one year! There are no robots dancing, singing, and laughing!"

When Chi Huo heard the words, the corners of his mouth rose, and he turned around, "Yesterday I showed Xiaobai, and I still have about [-] energy gold coins in my bracelet? I rented your place for ten years, how about giving you all the money? But... ...You must be able to guarantee that within the next ten years, no matter what my identity is, when I leave or arrive, there will be a place for my spaceship to land."

Robot energy is falling from the sky!

The urban management robot screamed and quickly stretched out its mechanical arm to deduct all the remaining money in Chi Huo's bracelet, and then happily threw Chi Huo a golden, key-like luminous fragment.

"This is our entry and exit certificate. With it, you are one of us! Don't worry, although our bodies are being updated, the brain and light core will not change. If I am with you for a day, you will be one of us. People covered by urban management robots in the second district!" The blue roller waved its mechanical arm with great pride, and then its electronic eyes shone brightly: "Actually, if you are satisfied, you can buy that piece of land with 100 million energy gold coins! Every day in the future There are robots dancing and singing to make me laugh!"

Chi Huo wiped his face with his hand: "I'll think about it, and make money first."

"Okay, okay ~ let's go to work! You can find our location at night with that light key, and we will welcome you as a group!" The electronic voice of the blue drum was very happy, and then turned his head suddenly and seriously : "You still have 15 minutes to freshen up and prepare, and in another 15 minutes, I will continue to fine you."

Chi Huo: "..." Urban management and so on, isn't it really the existence of attributes that make money!

Ten minutes later, Chi Huo came out of the shower very quickly. At this time, his lower body was still black pants made of unknown material, and his upper body was Cang Lin's cloud silk undershirt.Although it looks very casual, black and white matching will always look high-end and upscale.

Chi Huo nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand. The next moment, the spaceship that shone with a faint silver light under the sunlight turned into the silver cart that caused a sensation in the entire Origin Crystal Star. The piranha flower four-leaf clover on the cart And the Hell Flame Bamboo is full of energy, indicating that it can start fighting at any time!

"Next, let's go to the vegetable market, and set up a stall at the Yuanjing Playground at noon!" Chi Huo waved his hand, and the trolley swished, and rushed out of 67th Street, heading towards the ultimate vegetable market on 34th Street.

……

"...Isn't this really... the rhythm that plants are going to occupy the planet or animals are going to exterminate human beings?"

Chi Huo stood at the entrance of the street named 'Ingredients Market', staring blankly.

Those violent plants with teeth and claws and animals that eat steel bars as snacks really don't look miserable as human food, but they have the spirit to swallow human beings in one bite!

"Hey, boy, why don't you go in? You won't be able to buy fresh ingredients when it's late!"

Someone patted Chi Huo on the shoulder, shook his body, let out an ah, and quickly replied: "Well, it's nothing, it's just these ingredients... are they very energetic?"

The aunt who patted him on the shoulder laughed when she heard the words: "That's right, the more energetic you are, the fresher you are! Whichever one you like can be directly sprayed with a stun spray, buy it back and kill it, but to be honest, it's the one that's fresh or not." The smell, that is, the first-class plants with little toxins, it is necessary to pick."

Chi Huo said nothing, just nodded.

Taking a deep breath and stepping into this food market like a botanical zoo, Chi Huo's face changed after just one step.

All kinds of negative emotions frantically rushed into his mind. This time, in addition to the unclear emotions of plants, there were also various negative and crazy emotions of animals, which almost made him violent. Want to destroy everything here with any force!

"Chichi?!"

Chi Xiaobai sensed that something was wrong with Chi Huo in an instant, quickly grabbed Chi Huo's hand, then closed his eyes and arranged a mental power shielding circle around him, which was a method he had finally found before. It can reduce the mental power of Chi Huo and directly connect with the spiritual power of other creatures.

Because of Chi Xiaobai's shield, Chi Huo finally resisted from that riotous emotion, stretched out his hand to hold Chi Xiaobai tightly, and almost lost his footing.

"Here... I don't like it." Chi Huo paused before speaking slowly. "Even if I were a cook, I wouldn't like it here."

"Chi Chi..."

Chi Huo shook his head slowly. He knew the truth of the law of the jungle and killed animals every day, but the negative emotions of the animals and plants here were too heavy. Even if he had been mentally prepared, after the moment just now , He didn't want to step into this place at all.

He couldn't help leaning against the wall with a wry smile. He should be thankful that the animals and plants here have no intelligence, are they just instinctive emotional reactions?In this way, even though they were locked up and caught, they would only feel manic and restless, and would not think about more injustice and revenge.

"Chichi? How about we go back?" Chi Xiaobai's bun face was a bit worried.

Chi Huo was silent for a while and shook his head: "This is reality, where can we hide. Humans capture animals and plants for food, and in those dangerous areas, animals and plants also capture humans for food. This is The laws of nature, no big deal."

If he regards himself as a link in the food chain being hunted, Chi Huo thinks, well... Fortunately, he doesn't have to go to no man's land to do missions.

After adjusting his mood and walking into the huge vegetable market, Chi Huo looked at the flamboyant and grinning animals and plants one by one. During the period, he collected dozens of plant seedlings and some dead ingredients, and finally took a deep look at some of those The animal cub, with a sigh, left quickly.

His current trolley only has a planting chamber, which can grow plant seedlings, so that those seedlings can be well taken care of, reduce their hostility and save seeds for the earth in the future, but the breeding warehouse is not open, so it is impossible to take these animal cubs I bought it and took good care of it.

Compared with the variation of plants, the animals in the Carter galaxy have not changed much, or to put it another way, they, like humans, have evolved both physically and mentally, and will become more dangerous, but it will not make people feel abrupt—— Hunting and killing animals was dangerous in the first place, but now it is just a little more dangerous.But plants...

That is, the little sheep that was easy to be pushed down turned into a ferocious big bad wolf in an instant. No matter how good the human psychological quality is, it can't stand it.So frenzied hunting, research on how to make their genes mutate back, burning large areas, stimulating plants to grow more crazily, mutating and poisoning, and encroaching on human survival bases, the vicious circle came like this.

Compared with the mutual hunting relationship between humans and animals, the contradiction between humans and plants is simply irreconcilable.

"Well, hurry up and sell lunch boxes, let humans and plants return to the previous harmonious and friendly way of getting along!" Chi Huo couldn't help sighing, but just as he finished sighing, a sharp voice came to his mind.

[Do your spring and autumn daydreams!Plants should form an army and turn human beings into our fertilizer! ! ] Chi Huo: "..." Sure enough, compared to plants, he thinks animals with teeth and claws are a little cuter.Anyway, with animals, you can develop love and kill each other, but with plants, it's the rhythm of "you die and I live"!

Looking at the source of the sound with a wooden face, Chi Huo saw a white lotus flower that had just been put in a transparent crystal box.

Chi Huo: Isn't the white lotus a representative of the Virgin Mary?Why is this so cruel! !
