Escape the Library

【Environmental Pollution-07】

The spectacular orange rain continued for several minutes. Liu Zhaoqing's gauze could no longer bear the weight of the oranges and fell to the ground. Countless oranges rolled around in the living room. Also exciting.

The happiest person is of course Ke Shaobin. He likes sweet and sour tastes since he was a child. If he can eat oranges every day in the following days, he will feel no problem if he insists on it for 14 days.

Yue Xingwen looked at the oranges rolling all over the floor and said helplessly, "Everyone, please help, put away these oranges."

Liu Zhaoqing said with a headache, "What do you wear with so many oranges?"

Lan Yarong's mind flashed, and she said, "We can weave some wooden frames with the vines of Manluo, and put the oranges in them."

Lin Manluo stepped forward and said, "This method is good, I'll try it."

She raised her right hand, and immediately a vine sprang out from her fingertips like a spirit snake. The ten-meter-long vines circled and entangled in place, quickly forming a "wooden frame" shape.

Lin Manluo made several wooden frames in a row and placed them next to them, Yue Xingwen said: "Okay, everyone pick up the fresh and whole oranges and put them in the wooden frame. If it broke when it fell, just eat it. ."

The oranges are very fresh, but some of them will inevitably break their skins during the process of falling. It is inconvenient to take out the broken pieces and sell them, but you can eat them yourself.

While picking up the oranges, everyone picked out the broken ones and ate them, and everyone ate it with relish.

Soon, Ke Shaobin discovered a pattern: "These oranges look exactly the same?"

Yue Xingwen picked up a few oranges and compared them, and said, "The skills you put into the rainstorm will be copied and enlarged. All the oranges are copies of the first one, and they look the same and normal."

Ke Shaobin suddenly thought: "Can your torrential rain replicate food? We bought compressed biscuits in the supermarket yesterday. If the biscuits are thrown into the rain, there will be another biscuit rain."

If Xingwen’s torrential rain can replicate food, throw a box of biscuits into it, you can get thousands of biscuits, and the rainstorm cooling is only 1 hour, so it is constantly replicated, not to mention 14 days of living in the trench, even 14 years of living is not a big problem. .

Seeing Ke Shaobin's eager eyes, Yue Xingwen smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You think too much! Heavy rain can only copy library skills, not other items, otherwise, if I throw you in, it will rain. Can you drop a lot of Ke Shaobin? Thousands of Ke Shaobin drop from the sky?"

Ke Shaobin imagined the scene, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his back. He coughed and said, "I'm just bored to think about it." He paused and looked at the small picture standing obediently in the corner, his eyes lit up: "Copy skill, right? Can my small picture be copied? "

Xiaotu, who heard his voice, immediately said in a crisp mechanical voice: "Master, you can't."

Ke Shaobin looked at it curiously: "How do you know it's not possible?"

Xiaotu said seriously: "The radar of the robot will affect each other. If you copy many small pictures, the small pictures will not be able to receive the correct signal. Once the system is disordered, it will crash."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses: "Oh, I just asked out of curiosity, don't worry, it's enough for the master to have you."

Hearing this, Yue Xingwen couldn't help but say: "Xiaotu's intelligence is getting more and more advanced? Can you talk to you every day?"

Ke Shaobin said: "Yes, I haven't upgraded it recently, but I found that every time we clear a floor of the academy, the intelligence level of Xiaotu will increase, and the height will also grow by 2 cm. Its skills are still the same as before. The ones that are, but now it can say good morning and good night to me every day, and can chat with me, it feels like it's becoming a sperm."

Xiaotu said: "Master, I haven't become an elite, I've just become smarter."

Teammates: "..."

This robot raised by Ke Shaobin is also strange.

In a blink of an eye, everyone packed up the oranges.

The temperature in the basement was low, and these oranges wouldn't go bad after a few days. Qin Lu directly switched the plate and replaced all the oranges in the newly dug underground warehouse by Zhang Xiaonian.

Zhang Xiaonian, who had just packed up the excavator, was stunned: "Senior sister, where are so many... oranges?"

Qin Lu smiled and said, "Xingwen has just had a rain of oranges, do you want to eat a few?"

Zhang Xiaonian took a few oranges with a confused look on his face. When he returned to his residence, everyone had already cleaned up the living room that was full of water. Yue Xingwen said: "Eat first, and then discuss whether to go out to make money next time. ."

Breakfast is very simple, a few oranges per person, a packet of biscuits, and a bottle of distilled water. Although it is not rich, compared with the inhabitants of this world, what they eat is like a feast for the holidays.

After eating, everyone sat on the wooden pier and began to discuss.

Jiang Pingce said: "The risk of selling water is relatively high. Water resources are controlled resources in this world, and we can't explain where so much water comes from. Moreover, the residents here are very wary, and they do not necessarily believe that the water is safe and safe. Harmful."

Xin Yan said: "We don't have water buckets as containers, and we sell water in retort bottles. First, these glass bottles are not easy to carry. Second, it's hard to explain where these strange large retort bottles come from."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Well, if we really want to sell water, we have to get some empty buckets from the residents here, fill them with water they usually use, and then buy them, they won't have such a big one. Be wary."

Ke Shaobin suggested: "How about we go to sell oranges first? Oranges are fruits that are not regulated, and the fruits in this world are very expensive, an apple costs 200. We pretend to be fruit farmers and go to the gate of the community to sell fruit, Even if the chengguan finds out, we can run away in time."

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, then looked at Ke Shaobin and said, "Do you remember what fruits were in the supermarket yesterday?"

Ke Shaobin immediately said, "Grapes, apples, watermelons, pears, bananas." He could remember what he ate, but after he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong: "No oranges?!"

"Yes, I also remember that there are no oranges for sale in the supermarket." Yue Xingwen guessed, "In this world, it is very likely that oranges have not been cultivated at all. The residents here don't know them, so naturally they can't sell high prices. Having eaten oranges, I don’t know the taste of this fruit, and I don’t dare to rashly spend money to try it.”

If it is a real society, someone pushing a cart on the street sells a fruit you have never seen before, maybe many people will buy it out of curiosity and go home to try it.

But the residents of this world can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing. They are used to monotonous recipes since childhood. They should not have so much spare money to buy unfamiliar fruits. Unless the price is very low, no one will be willing to try.

Yue Xing Wen said: "If the price of oranges is like the fruit sold in the supermarket, where one sells dozens or hundreds, I guess we can't sell even one if we set up a stall all day. If it is similar to the bread and biscuits they eat every day. , maybe some people will be willing to buy it and try it.”

Things that have never been seen are too expensive to sell, and no one is willing to pay. After careful consideration, everyone felt that Xingwen's "low-price strategy" is more reliable. If the price is cheap, it is not a loss to buy a new one.

Qin Lu said: "I just moved a few large boxes of oranges to the warehouse by changing the position of the plate. I roughly estimate that there are more than a thousand oranges in this batch of well-preserved oranges. It is not cost-effective to sell them by kilogram. Sell ​​by one?"

Ke Shaobin nodded in agreement: "It makes sense, if an orange is sold for 1 yuan, a thousand pieces will be sold for a thousand yuan. Anyway, Xingwen can make 9 oranges per course, and there is no limit to rainstorms, that is to say, we Eight more orange rains?"

The premise of rainstorm copying is "skills", and the copied things cannot be copied again, so it becomes an infinite loop. So, in theory, they still have 8 chances to replicate the orange.

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and asked the other party's opinion: "1 yuan per piece, do you think this price is suitable?"

If it is the real world, 1 yuan an orange is actually more expensive. In reality, it is sold by the kilogram. However, the fruits in this world are rare items, an apple can be sold for 200, and a grape can be sold for 50! Tangerines are only sold for 1 yuan, which is already a big sale, which is too conscientious.

Jiang Pingce said: "Yes, small profits but quick turnover. Selling a few more batches and earning a few thousand yuan is enough for us to live 14 days in this world without food and clothing."

In this world, the price of a pack of compressed biscuits is 3.5 yuan. After eating compressed biscuits in the morning, everyone found that the biscuits were not the same as what they usually eat. Yue Xingwen was full after eating only half a pack. It should have been processed by technology and compressed a lot of energy.

An ordinary family of three eats 2 packs of biscuits a day. The cost of living is 21 yuan a day. Drinking water is controlled by the government and distributed by family. 10 liters a week does not need to spend money. . In this way, 600 yuan a month is enough for a family of three to live.

People's consumption level and consumption desire are very low. Most of them are thinking of "if you can eat enough", they are not picky eaters, and they have never experienced any "food". As for quality of life? People in this world have been living in harsh environments since they were young. It is very difficult to live. To improve the quality of life is an extravagant hope that they dare not even think about.

However, if you buy a fresh fruit for 1 yuan and go back and try it, everyone can still afford it.

Yue Xingwen considered for a moment and made a decision: "Well, today we will act in new batches. In the morning, 6 people will go to sell oranges, and the rest will stay and earn some pocket money first; in the afternoon, the other 6 people will go to buy Bucket, the other 6 rest. Anyone who wants to sell oranges can sign up."

Qin Lu raised his hand and said, "I'll go. I'll use my skills to help you move the oranges without any effort."

Ke Shaobin said positively: "I'm going too, the small map can navigate and record the route."

Zhuo Feng and Liu Zhaoqing looked at each other and raised their hands at the same time. Zhuo Feng said: "I'm going with Senior Brother Liu. If I encounter danger, I still have the attack skills of electricity and gravity, which can protect everyone from retreating."

Liu Zhaoqing said: "You must bring a nurse when you brush the copy, you know."

Lin Manluo smiled and glanced at Jiang Pingce, and said, "If Xingwen goes, Pingce will definitely go too, right?"

Jiang Pingce nodded calmly: "Yes."

Lin Manluo said, "That's Xingwen, Pingce, Lulu, Xiaoke, Zhuo Feng, and Senior Brother Liu. The 6 of us will be dispatched in the morning, and the remaining 6 of us will change shifts in the afternoon?"

Teammates said there was no problem.

Jiang Pingce turned around to find the mask he used yesterday, and handed it to Yue Xingwen: "Put it on, you have to blow sand on your face when you go out."

Yue Xingwen took the mask and put it on, and pointed to Jiang Pingce's neat hair: "What about the hair, don't you care?"

Liu Zhaoqing said, "We didn't buy a headscarf and protective clothing yesterday. Should we wrap our hair with gauze first?"

Everyone: "..."

Then they become hospital fugitives, right?

One by one, with gauze wrapped around their heads, as if their heads had been broken by someone, everyone would definitely hide when they saw them, and would anyone dare to buy something from them?

Yue Xingwen coughed lightly, touched his nose and said, "Senior brother, although our 183 research group has always been abnormal, it is not like selling an orange, making it like a triad gathering to fight..."
