Chapter 264 Grocery Store

"It's refreshing enough, I just like a bold friend like you." The old man smiled and led the two of them to the front, "It's a bit long from the beginning, I'll take you to a place, let's talk while walking."

Fang Tian nodded towards Chen Xiaohai, and the two followed the old man towards the south of the city and walked over.

"Speaking of Gatimla, it started to spread suddenly a few months ago when the king of orcs successfully took the position of great chief. There are rumors that the king of orcs was defeated by Gatimla. His competitor took the position of Great Chief, and at that time Gatimla was something that only high-level orcs in the orc capital could enjoy."

"Since last month, Gatimla has also gradually flowed into this city through trade. It is said that the city owner bought a large amount of Gatimla at a high price, mixed it with wine after dilution, and sold it in taverns every day." The old man said, skimming He curled his lips, "The orcs like to mix Gatimla's wine very much, whether it is a high-level orc or a low-level orc, it can make them feel the surging power."

"Until one day, when the orcs were used to drinking a cup of Gatimla every day, the city lord suddenly announced that due to the shortage of Gatimla, it could only be provided to the bravest warriors of the orcs for free. There is only one way to get Gatimla, and that is to prove one's courage and faith."

Chen Xiaohai was taken aback, "Prove your courage and faith? What the hell?"

The old man's expression changed, he stopped, turned his head and said to the two of them: "Let's put it in a simpler way, join the expeditionary force against human beings, and through meritorious service, you can exchange for drinks mixed with Gatimla in the barracks."

Hearing this, Fang Tian and Chen Xiaohai both keenly sensed an aura of conspiracy.

Fang Tian asked: "After using Gatimla, what happened to the negative effect I felt?"

"Hey, doesn't that feel good?" The old man smiled wickedly, and continued to walk forward, while replying: "There is always a price to be paid for gaining power, although I don't know what exactly Gatimu pulls. , but according to my previous observations, short-term hallucinations will appear after using low-concentration Gatimla. If you take it for a long time, it will make your temper even more irritable. The stronger the personal strength of the individual, the smaller the negative effects will be.”

Chen Xiaohai suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said, "Then the green-skinned orcs we met outside the city were also due to taking Gatimla for a long time?"

"Oh? Have you been attacked by orcs?" The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "It's not surprising when you think about it. I heard rumors before that some orcs suddenly used Gatimla for a long time. Symptoms of madness will also occur if you stop drinking, but these are a minority, perhaps because of avoiding large-scale chaos, the city lord distributes a large amount of diluted Gatimla in the center of the city every day..."

After the old man finished speaking, Fang Tian and Chen Xiaohai soon got another prompt from the game.

"Hint: You have obtained relevant information about Gatimla."

"Hint: Information analysis..."

"Reminder: Insufficient information, insufficient credibility, current mission completion rate: 17%. (Explanation: Currently returning to the camp to report to General Heiner, there will be a 25% chance of completing the ring mission, and a 25% chance of mission failure)."

"Reminder: The blood sample of the violent orc in the package has been detected, and the information integrity has been improved. The current task completion rate: 34%. (Note: If you return to the camp to report to General Haina and hand over the orc blood sample, there will be a 49% chance Complete the ring mission, there is a 51% chance of mission failure)."

"Tip: Trying to obtain Gadimra and bringing it back to the camp will greatly improve the mission completion. (The higher the concentration of Gadimra obtained, the higher the mission completion reward.)"

"Task optional branch: Get Gatimla."

"Mission description: Get as high a concentration of Gatimla as possible."

After receiving a series of prompts from the game, Chen Xiaohai looked at Fang Tian, ​​then at the old man, and asked, "So, Gatimla is now in the hands of the city lord?"

"Hey, that's natural. The city lord is very strict about this kind of thing, but private transactions are not allowed." I don't know why, the old man always gives people a creepy feeling when he smiles.

"Then is there any way to get Gatimla? The undiluted one is best."

"Well, it's not like there isn't one."

Hearing the old man's words, there seemed to be something in it, Chen Xiaohai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Can you get it?"

The old man's eyeballs rolled several times, "Do you really want it?"

Chen Xiaohai waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I know you have it, so just tell us how much it is!"

"I've been here for so many years, and I'd be lying to you if I said there's nothing I can do, but then again, it's not all about money." The old man said and led the two of them to a small alley, where The architectural style of the orcs is completely different from thatched huts of orcs, and it is closer to the architectural style of humans.

The two were brought to a grocery store by the old man. The door of the grocery store was tightly closed, and there was a crooked sign hanging on it, with the words 'Dewey's grocery store' written on it.

This kind of grocery store can often be seen in human cities, and it seems to give people a very friendly feeling, provided that it is not so dilapidated...

Standing outside the grocery store, Chen Xiaohai watched as the old man took out the key from his pocket, opened the dark grocery store, and then a strange smell wafted from the grocery store.

Chen Xiaohai always felt that something was not right and said, "Old man, what can you do? Just tell me, okay?"

"Let's talk after you come in. There are so many people outside, it's not good to be overheard." The old man walked into the grocery store swaggeringly, and waved to Fang Tian and the two outside.

Fang Tian narrowed his eyes, he was also wary of this weird grocery store, after exchanging a glance with Chen Xiaohai, they decided to enter the grocery store cautiously.

Compared with the exterior, the interior of the grocery store can be said to be more messy. It feels like it has not been taken care of for hundreds of years. Many places are filled with a thick layer of dust.

"Why are you standing, just sit down." When the two of them entered the grocery store, the old man slowly found an empty seat and sat down.

Chen Xiaohai had a look of contempt on his face, "Okay, old man, don't be so polite, how can you have a clean place to sit here?"

"Hey." The old man was thick-skinned, and he laughed dryly again, "Let me briefly introduce myself to you two, Jack Dewey. This Dewey grocery store is passed down from my family..."
