Chapter 57 Old House Strategy
The "Holy Book" that swallowed the other four stone books seemed to have become more refined even on the outside.
Originally, there were two stone slabs, and they were ordinary stone slabs that had not been polished much.
Now, the stone pages of the "Holy Book" have become smooth and flat, with some patterns inside, which is no less beautiful than marble bricks.
Opening the "Holy Book", there are still only two pages, but the layout has changed to a certain extent.
First, the left page, originally there was only a card slot in the center, but now it has become 4x4 with a total of 16 grids.
The first three grids show the phantoms of salt, pistol and holy beast cards respectively.
Obviously, this is the "historical transaction".
According to the information conveyed to Xiao Jian by the "Holy Book", this historical transaction function can be retained for a maximum of 16 times. If it exceeds 16 times, the 17th transaction will be displayed in the first grid, and the phantom in the original first grid will be covered.
Xiao Jian no longer needs salt. The salt he changed before is enough for him to eat for more than ten years.
As for the holy beast?
That "Holy Beast Walker Candidate" should no longer have a Holy Beast Card. He is probably now a "Small Spray Mushroom Walker".
And...
... Xiao Jian has a subtle sense of indebtedness towards that guy. After all, he got too much advantage.
If they were separated from each other from now on, it would be fine. But if he went to show off to the victim again, it would be a bit too inhuman.
So Xiao Jian, the Holy Beast Walker, didn't want to contact him at all.
Only the man in the middle who sold him the pistol, Xiao Jian really wanted to contact him.
After all, the pistol bullets were only a little more than two magazines, and it could no longer be used as a normal attack in ordinary combat equipment.
After lightly clicking on the shadow of the card in the middle, the remaining 15 grids disappeared, and the "input box" on the right page lit up.
The logic of using this thing is very simple, and the interface is even simpler than the BBS message board in the early days of the Internet.
But the problem is that its appearance solved Xiao Jian's communication problem with the outside world.
But...
... How to say it?
"High price for second-hand aircraft carriers, scrapped tanks, aircraft cannons, guns and ammunition?"
This kind of speech that hides demand in order to prevent the other party from asking for too much, if it works, can turn passivity into initiative, and can also find out what good things the other party has in hand, but it is often easier to suffer losses when you think too simply of others.
In this doomsday of poor communication, it is very likely that the other party will only have this one transaction for a long time.
The "very long" here may be a few years, more than ten years, or even dozens or hundreds of years.
Once the fact is like this, the other party will immediately expose this kind of speech that is trying to cover up, which is not only not honest, but also easy for the other party to take advantage of the information gap.
So, in the end, Xiao Jian decided to be frank:
"Looking for guns and ammunition, especially ammunition, the more the better."
Anyway, the other party is a poor guy who needs to ask for 1,000 driving force in the "Holy Book", so just take a look at the other party's offer first.
After paying the "Internet fee" of 25 points of sunshine value, Xiao Jian closed the Holy Book.
When he looked up, he saw that Da Huang had stopped scratching the tree stump and was swinging an octopus claw in his mouth.
Seeing the more than one-meter-long octopus claw, Xiao Jian was slightly stunned, and then shouted to it: "Hey! Come here!"
Da Huang looked up at Xiao Jian, ignored him and continued to swing the octopus claw.
"... It's time to eat!"
"Meow!"
Da Huang rushed to Xiao Jian's feet with a whoosh and rubbed Xiao Jian's trouser legs with his forehead.
"..."
Xiao Jian was speechless.
The neighbor's cat used to be like this. It ignored him when he was called, and ran away when he was touched.
But when it comes to cat strips and canned food, it is immediately not it, as if it has changed cats - touch it casually, ring the bell casually, and follow you "meowing" without being impatient, until you cash in the cat strips or cat canned food, it will ignore you again.
"Da Huang, your cat's morality is not good. How can you ignore me when I call you?" Xiao Jian picked up Da Huang and asked while scratching its forehead gently.
Da Huang tilted his head, his big eyes full of innocence.
"... Tsk." Xiao Jian fed the cat and threw it aside, then walked to the octopus claw and picked it up.
Surprisingly, the octopus claw was not sticky or smelly, and it felt cool and tough, a bit like a rubber tube filled with water.
This was the first time Xiao Jian saw the remains of a monster.
After all, other zombies and other monsters turned into mist and dissipated after death, and although this tentacles shrank a lot, it still had a body.
Unfortunately, this thing has no properties, and it is not a biological tissue, so it is useless and cannot be eaten. It can probably only be used as a cat toy.
Xiao Jian found the "fishing rod" from the firewood pile, tied the octopus claw to it, and then threw it over to catch Da Huang.
Unfortunately, Da Huang reacted too quickly, and broke the rope in an instant, holding the octopus claw and ran away to play.
Xiao Jian shook his head, ignored it, and returned to the door of the old house.
When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was three broken concrete floors and small yellow mushrooms sticking out of the ground.
Except for the three square meters of the door, the rest of the old house was separated by a fog wall.
Xiao Jian's old house has only three rooms in total, and the layout is also arranged in parallel in the shape of a "罒" character.
Standing at the back door of the old house, Xiao Jian is now facing the middle room.
This is the living room, dining room and kitchen of the old house. The old stove has not been used for a long time, so Xiao Jian specially replaced it with a can of natural gas when he returned home.
The room on Xiao Jian's left is the room where his parents lived before, and the room on the right is his own room.
Calculated from the outer wall, the total area of the old house is 5mX12m, a total of 60 square meters.
Now, he has a total of 26 plot resource cards, plus the 3 square meters expanded before, which can almost replace half of the old house.
There are two options now. The first is to distribute it evenly along the back wall of the old house, and then transplant all the small yellow mushrooms outside in, which can improve the output efficiency of sunlight and make room for pea shooters.
This way, it can be farther away from the main door and solve many space problems.
But the biggest disadvantage is that Xiao Jian still has to sleep on the sofa.
Another way is to directly replace the entire room in the middle, and then replace half of Xiao Jian's room.
The advantage of this is that Xiao Jian can get the entire kitchen, pots and pans, stoves and gas, and get rid of his primitive identity while sleeping in his own bed.
The quality of life has improved a lot.
But there is also a problem, that is, the unknown outside the main gate.
What Xiao Jian fears most is being attacked from both sides.
As for completely abandoning the old house and expanding the land on both sides of the courtyard...
Xiao Jian did think about it, but after having the rush, he was no longer afraid of being surrounded by monsters from both sides, and expanding the land on both sides of the courtyard had become less cost-effective.
So what should he do?
Xiao Jian thought about it and decided to be safe. Sleeping on the sofa would not kill anyone...
But at this moment, Da Huang suddenly came in with an octopus claw in his mouth.
At the moment when the octopus claw entered the old house, the octopus claw suddenly glowed with a halo, and then slowly floated up!
Even Da Huang, who was biting the octopus claw, floated into the air...
