Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

【Damn! What the hell is going on in this shitty company? It doesn’t matter if you work overtime every day, and you can even end up in the hospital by eating employee meals! 】

[Brothers upstairs, I went to the shop downstairs today to wash my hair with a bowl of cold salad, and I also had a problem with it... I obviously ate it yesterday and it was fine, but the female shopkeeper said she had washed her hair seriously these days, There is no way he has health problems, and he is trying to blackmail me. 】

[Our cafeteria is suddenly closed today. The staff meals we originally contracted were instead delivered with ingredients. But those ingredients looked like pieces of dried rotten meat, and the meat seemed to be coated in a layer of ink. After some questioning, I found out that the meat was not edible at all. 】

[There are many snack bars nearby that are closed, and only a few are still open, but I heard many posts saying that there are problems with those stores, and you will die if you try to go in...]

【What's going on? How come this kind of thing suddenly happened? Can I still play games happily? 】

[Is there any safe food source anywhere else? Please let me know! 】

[It seems that only the food traded with players is safer, especially those who have unlocked the chef profession. I heard that there is a leader in the rankings whose sugar-fried chestnuts are quite delicious, but the price is relatively expensive. It seems to be called "Chen Ye" ? 】

[It doesn’t matter whether it’s expensive or not, let’s just wait and see...]

Ding ding ding!

In Chen Ye's list, lists of transaction requests kept popping up.

Unexpectedly, due to recent food problems, Chen Ye's stir-fried chestnuts became popular on the forum for a while.

Many players came here and issued invitations to trade.

"There is such a thing..."

Now, Chen Ye finally understood why there were suddenly so many more customers. It turned out to be because the world's food sources suddenly became less safe.

Players who have just arrived can basically adapt to their current status and rely on role-playing to survive.

They have stable jobs, and some players even have social connections at the beginning, and can obtain basic survival supplies through currency transactions or welfare systems.

Those with better luck will be able to experience the feeling of the rich second generation chewing on the old, or the "rich woman is hungry".

Of course, it is unknown whether the rich women in this world can be enjoyed by ordinary players...

Now comes the problem!

The originally stable food source suddenly had problems.

In serious cases, it has even been eaten in the hospital. This is a strange era!

God knows who the doctors in the hospital are, what kind of patients they will meet at the bedside when they are hospitalized, what things will emerge from the unknown environment, and what kind of treatments they will face...

"So, these players are coming to me to trade because there have been frequent food problems recently?"

Chen Ye suddenly understood why the halo of luck above his head was intertwined with "yellow" and "black".

Xuanhuang means wealth.

Jet black means disaster.

This city may be facing a food-related disaster recently. In the future, the value of safe and healthy food will continue to rise.

And he has the profession of [Chef] and can make fried chestnuts with sugar.

Therefore, the intertwined meaning of "Xuanhuang" and "Jihei" does not mean seeking wealth in danger, but rather means making fortune in disaster.

but……

In the three-color ring, there is another meaning of "blue" that has not yet been solved.

Based on the above information, does the source of pollution come from the lower reaches of the Xijiang River?

Facing the transaction information that kept popping up in the list, Chen Ye did not choose to trade rashly.

He analyzed calmly: "Currently, the entire city in the Strange Era has a pollution problem. It is not necessarily the food itself, but may come from the outside..."

According to a poster on the forum, he has been at a "Luofa Changfen Shop" downstairs for the past few days, tasting the store's signature cold long hair.

The shop owner who uses hair as an ingredient is similar to Ms. Squirrel Fish——

You are the ingredients themselves.

Generally, those who can use this skill to open a shop will have no problems with the ingredients.

Where does the pollution come from?

The answer is simple: water!

Although the cold dressing method is used, many ingredients require adding water.

Then, the possibility of contamination is provided.

It can be linked to the speculation that the lower reaches of the Xijiang River are the source of pollution and are related to water.

only……

What puzzles Chen Ye is that the scion of Poseidon was so confident about the pollution yesterday, and no signs of pollution were seen upstream on the other side of the dam. So where did the pollution seep in?

Continuing to read the posts, Chen Ye discovered that the pollution was widespread, and some players said that the food they ate was normal and had no adverse reactions.

Chen Ye carefully took note of the group of players who had no problems, and sometimes he could tell from the records of posts they usually sent that most of their locations were located near Xijiang.

On the contrary, some players who live in the city and are far away from Xijiang are prone to food problems.

This makes people feel puzzled!

Xijiang is obviously the source of the infection, so why are the infected people far away from Xijiang?

The clues seem to have been interrupted again...

"Don't rush into the transaction yet."

Chen Ye did not choose to roast chestnuts with sugar for the time being, and quickly exchanged them for copper coins with all the players.

There is indeed an opportunity to make a fortune.

But the problem is that once you make money, you may not be able to buy safe ingredients.

If there is a food disaster in this city next, even if there are still normal ingredients, the difficulty of obtaining them will increase significantly!

I have now used a third of the large bag of "pine cones" I got from Miss Squirrel Fish.

Facing so many players...

The supply of goods on hand may not be enough.

Moreover, since we realize that there may be catastrophic food problems in the future, we must keep more ingredients for ourselves in case of emergency.

The method of stir-frying chestnuts with sugar is to stir-fry them under the high temperature of a roaring fire. There is basically no need to add water.

If the source of the pollution does come from water, it will not have any impact on the sugar-fried chestnuts made by Chen Ye.

Therefore, pine cones are currently the most suitable ingredient. They can make A-grade gourmet roasted chestnuts. Just one can fill you up for a day, and they also have the ability to quickly restore the body.

Think of this.

Chen Ye quickly headed to the east gate of the Xining alley, and arrived at the door of Miss Squirrel Fish's shop just before dark.

Warm yellow light shines from the window next to it, and you can faintly hear the sound of "clicking, clicking" chewing inside, as if something is gnawing at the bones of an animal.

Chen Ye came to the door and knocked politely three times: "Miss Squirrel Fish, are you here?"

Squeak!

The window opened, and Miss Squirrel Fish's face suddenly pressed against the window door. Her bloated, sarcoma-like face almost filled the entire window.

"I want to buy ten kilograms of pine cones. How much does one kilogram cost?" Chen Ye touched the copper coins in his pocket.

Miss Squirrelfish hesitated for a moment, then shook her back, and five pine cones fell down.

"Five copper coins per pound?" Chen Ye asked uncertainly.

It wasn't until Miss Squirrel Fish struggled to squeeze out a little space with her plump neck and nodded that Chen Ye counted fifty copper coins and handed them over in exchange for ten kilograms of pine cones.

At this time, Chen Ye's personal assets were left with "575" copper coins.

"Now, I shouldn't have to worry about supplies for a while."

Carrying a bag full of pine cones, he returned to his place of residence in a wandering posture.

At this moment, the figure of the old man Erhu finally returned here.

suddenly.

Chen Ye found that behind the old man Erhu, there were more than a dozen buckets placed side by side along the low tile wall, all filled with water.
