Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Before the bloody countdown started, there were many roadside food stalls on both sides of the Xining alleys.

But now there are only abandoned vehicles lying around in a mess.

This makes the already narrow alleys on the road appear even more crowded.

Chen Ye moved the cart lying in front of him and barely made a way.

Suddenly, a scent filled the air from the depths of Xining's alleys.

"The taste of roasted chestnuts."

Chen Ye immediately smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts, and the hunger in his belly suddenly became stronger.

He swallowed, his thinking ability suddenly seemed to have declined, and there was only one thought left in his mind -

"So hungry!"

"Roasted chestnuts with sugar...so fragrant..."

"Want to eat..."

At the end of the alley, a trolley suddenly moved slowly from the corner, accompanied by a hoarse shout that echoed low.

"Roasted chestnuts with sugar, fresh roasted chestnuts with sugar."

"Five coins a pound."

"Haha, you can eat it for free for the first time. It's free to taste. If it doesn't taste good, there's no charge."

When Chen Ye opened his eyes again, they only felt like flowers.

Immediately afterwards.

There was an extra trolley in front of me.

A pair of pale, wrinkled and calloused hands held a cart filled with golden, crispy, fragrant sugar-roasted chestnuts.

The old woman selling chestnuts showed a kind smile.

"Come and try the fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts. It's free. It's fragrant and delicious."

Chen Ye felt that his consciousness became erratic from time to time, his surrounding vision was becoming blurred, and everything else in his pupils seemed to be slowly blurring except for the roasted chestnuts.

finally.

Only the fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts were left in his eyes, so golden and red as blood that they seemed to be full of fatal temptation.

The hunger in his belly became more intense.

that moment.

It’s as if the only thing left in my mind is the desire to eat!

"Eat it!"

"Eat it!"

"Eat it!"

Chen Ye took a step forward again.

At this moment, a burst of erhu sound suddenly came from the distance, like a complaint, the sad melody slightly pulled Chen Ye's mind back...

A jet of black mist suddenly seemed to spread out from the roasted chestnuts, and instantly fell on Chen Ye's face!

Chen Ye shivered suddenly, and suddenly felt a chill coming from his back! When he looked at the roasted chestnuts again, he found that there were no chestnuts in the stove at all, only broken fingers!

When she looked up again, the old woman buying chestnuts had a scary smile on her face.

The cracks at the corners of her mouth were in an inhuman shape, almost crooked to the crow's feet, and the wrinkles on her face were like wriggling maggots, constantly crisscrossing and crawling on her face.

"Want to buy chestnuts, young man?"

The old lady's voice no longer became kind, but sounded like the sound made by millions of insects rubbing in her throat.

Chen Ye felt as if there were countless ants crawling in his ears, itching terribly, and his whole head was buzzing.

My eyes are getting darker and darker, as if my consciousness is gradually sinking...

at this time.

If you raise your head, you can see the halo of luck on Chen Ye's head, gradually surrounded by a halo of evil aura of black mist.

Moreover, in the black mist, there is still a bloody light filling the air.

That's a sign of approaching death!

At this critical moment, Chen Ye gritted his teeth and concentrated, trying his best to calm down his brain. He used the "100,000 little knowledge on how to get along with the devil" in his mind to quickly think of corresponding countermeasures.

As an internal beta player, Chen Ye had already had a lot of game information in his mind. Now it was more about staying calm in reality and not losing his position due to panic.

The dialogue that often appeared during the closed beta and the game plot suddenly came to mind.

Chen Ye quickly thought of a countermeasure...

He quickly lowered his head in shame and looked away from the old lady:

"I do not have money."

It costs five coins to buy a pound of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

According to the currency system of "Strange Era", most of the goods here can be exchanged with coins, which are universal currencies and are divided into copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.

One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin.

One hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.

Copper coins are usually used to exchange general goods, such as food, water and other basic supplies.

The products that can be exchanged for silver coins and gold coins are even more different. They can even be exchanged for special properties or magical objects with extraordinary abilities.

Gold coins also have a special meaning in "Strange Era", so they will not be used for regular transactions.

In "Strange Era", exchange of equal value is one of the rules to be followed. Any item redeemed based on exchange is reasonable.

Therefore, if he tasted the old lady's roasted chestnuts for free, Chen Ye would have to bear the price.

The first thing is to have currency.

It would be easier if there was currency.

As long as you pay the price of sugar-roasted chestnuts, you can get a fresh delicacy.

Eat it to make you full.

And there will be no negative effects.

But without the coins, trouble begins!

The old lady can choose an item on Chen Ye's body as a trading item in exchange for the value of the roasted chestnuts.

If you don’t have coins, choose carry-on items.

The only belongings you have is a set of tattered clothes, which are almost worthless, so choose skin, flesh, hair, nails...

If you eat not just one kilogram of sugar-roasted chestnuts, but ten kilograms, twenty kilograms... hundreds of kilograms, then the surface value of your body is not enough to exchange, so you can choose your eyes, tongue, kidneys, heart...

Chen Ye tried his best to keep his brain clear and resist the constant feeling of confusion.

There seems to be a magical power in the words of the old woman buying chestnuts, which can make people temporarily lose their minds and lose their ability to judge.

At this time, because I am too hungry, I will probably only have the ability to eat.

So he swallowed the roasted chestnuts in big gulps.

As I continue to eat, I’m afraid I don’t know how much I will eat.

According to the principle of equal exchange, the old woman buying chestnuts can choose any item from Chen Ye.

Including his heart!

Thinking about it carefully, I get a chill down my spine.

If it hadn't been for the erhu music coming from the alley just now, the situation would have been in danger.

At this time, the old woman selling chestnuts smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter, just try it. It's free for the first time."

Chen Ye thought for a while and said, "Next time I bring some coins and I will come to you to buy a few more kilograms of sugar-roasted chestnuts."

"Okay, young man, you must keep your word."

The old woman selling chestnuts smiled even more.

but.

The smile on her face has returned to kindness and kindness. She arched her back and slowly pushed the trolley, and her back disappeared into the deep alley.

There was also a vague shouting sound coming from the distance.

"Selling chestnuts...fresh candied roasted chestnuts...any kids want to try them for free?"

Chen Ye felt that his desire to eat was no longer so strong.

A gust of cool breeze blew by, feeling cool behind my back.

At this time, Chen Ye realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he said with lingering fear: "Games and reality are really two different things!"

The sense of oppression brought about by facing the strangeness in person is completely different!

In "Strange Era", even the most ordinary things may contain fatal crises.

Chen Ye's hunger had disappeared. When he saw that he had almost eaten the pile of bloody fingers, he felt nauseated. There was a constant feeling of wanting to vomit in the stomach and intestines. After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm down.

At this moment, the sound of erhu came from deep in the alley again, but the tune became obviously cheerful, and the melody was a little more melodious and melodious, and it was no longer as depressing as before.

Chen Ye's mind moved.

It was that erhu sound that saved his life just now!

He pondered for a moment, and then walked in the direction where the erhu came from.

The sound is getting closer.

After turning a few corners again, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly fell on an old man.

The old man was sitting cross-legged on a dilapidated floor, holding an erhu in his hand. The melodious erhu music came from here. There was an iron bowl in front of him, and there were a few coins in the bowl.

at the same time.

Chen Ye opened the Eye of Luck and found that the head of the old man Erhu was surrounded by a faint purple aura...
