Escape From the Library

【Environmental Pollution-07】

The spectacular orange rain fell continuously 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 has liked sweet and sour flavors since he was a child. If he can eat oranges every day in the next few days, he will be fine if he persists for 14 days.

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

Liu Zhaoqing had a headache and said, "How can we pretend to have so many oranges?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Lan Yarong's mind, and said, "We can weave some wooden frames out of vines and put the oranges in."

Lin Manluo stepped forward and said, "This is a good idea, let me 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 each other. Yue Xingwen said: "Okay, everyone, pick up the fresh and whole oranges and put them in the wooden frames. If they were broken when they fell down, just eat them." .”

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

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

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 thrown into the rainstorm will be copied and enlarged. All the oranges are copies of the first one. It is normal to look the same."

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

If Xingwen’s rainstorm can copy food, throw a box of biscuits in, you can get thousands of biscuits, and the rainstorm cools down for only 1 hour, so if you keep replicating like this, it’s not a big problem to live for 14 years, let alone 14 days .

Facing Ke Shaobin's longing eyes, Yue Xingwen smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You think too much! The rainstorm can only copy library skills, but not other items. Otherwise, if I throw you in, wouldn't it be raining?" Can a lot of Ke Shaobin be dropped? Tens of thousands of Ke Shaobin will fall from the sky?"

Ke Shaobin imagined that scene for a moment, and a layer of goose bumps could not help but appear on his back.He coughed and said, "I'm just bored thinking about it." He paused, looked at Xiaotu who was obediently standing in the corner, his eyes lit up: "Copy skills, right? Can my little 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 robot's radars will affect each other. If you copy many Xiaotus, Xiaotu will not be able to receive the correct signal. Once the system becomes disordered, it will crash."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses: "Oh, I'm just curious to ask, don't worry, you are enough for the master."

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

Ke Shaobin said: "That's right, I haven't upgraded it recently, but I found that every time we clear a college floor, Xiaotu's intelligence level will increase, and his height will grow by 2 centimeters. Its skills are still the same It’s just that it can say good morning and good night to me every day, and it can also chat with me, it feels like it has become a spirit.”

Xiaotu said: "Master, I didn't become smart, I just became smart."

Teammates: "..."

The robot that Ke Shaobin raised is also weird.

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

The temperature in the basement is low, and these oranges will not go bad after a few days. Qin Lu directly swapped all the oranges to Zhang Xiaonian's newly dug underground warehouse.

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

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

Zhang Xiaonian took a few oranges with a dazed expression. When they returned to their residence, everyone had already cleaned up the living room full of water. Yue Xingwen said: "Eat first, and then discuss whether you want to go out to make money when you are full." .”

Breakfast is very simple, a few oranges per person, a pack of biscuits, and a bottle of distilled water.Although it is not rich, but compared with the residents of this world, what they eat is simply a feast for the New Year.

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 regulated resources in this world, and we can't explain where so much water comes from. Moreover, the residents here are very wary, and they don't necessarily believe that the water is safe and safe. Harmful."

Xin Yan said: "We don't have buckets as containers. We use retorts to hold water and sell them. First, these glass bottles are not easy to carry. Second, it is difficult to explain where these strange large retorts come from."

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

Ke Shaobin suggested: "Then how about we sell oranges first? Oranges are fruits and are not regulated, and fruits in this world are very expensive, an apple costs 200. We pretend to be fruit farmers and sell fruits at the gate of the community. Even if the city management finds out, we'll have time to run right away."

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, 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 sold in supermarkets." Yue Xingwen guessed, "This world probably has never cultivated oranges. The residents here don't know them, so naturally they can't sell them at a high price. I have eaten oranges before, but I don’t know the taste of this fruit, and I dare not spend money to try it rashly.”

If it is a real world, there are people pushing a cart on the street to sell a fruit that you have never seen before, maybe many people will buy it home and taste it out of curiosity.

But the residents of this world can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing. They have been accustomed to monotonous recipes since childhood. They should not have so much spare money to buy unfamiliar fruits. Unless... the price is very low, some people will be willing to try it.

Yue Xingwen said: "If the price of oranges is like that of fruit sold in supermarkets, each selling dozens or hundreds, I guess we can't even sell a single one if we set up a stall for a whole day. If it is similar to the bread and biscuits they eat every day , maybe someone will be willing to buy it and try it.”

Things that have never been seen are too expensive, and no one is willing to pay for them.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 to try.

Qin Lu said: "I just shifted the plates and moved several large boxes of oranges to the warehouse. I roughly estimated that there are more than 1000 well-preserved oranges in this batch of Orange Rain. sell it?"

Ke Shaobin nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. If one orange sells for 1 yuan, 1000 can be sold for 9 yuan. Anyway, Xingwen can make [-] oranges per course, and there is no limit to heavy rain. Can there be eight orange rains?"

The premise of the rainstorm copy 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 copy Tangerine.

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and asked for his opinion: "One yuan for one, do you think this price is suitable?"

In the real world, 1 yuan per orange is actually quite expensive. In reality, they are sold by the pound.However, fruits in this world are rare items, an apple can be sold for 200, and a grape can be sold for 50!The oranges are only sold for 1 yuan, which is already a big sale at a high price, so conscientious.

Jiang Pingce said: "Yes, small profits but quick turnover. Sell a few more batches and earn thousands of dollars, which is enough for us to live comfortably in this world for 14 days."

The price in this world, a pack of compressed biscuits is priced at 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 only eating half a pack. It should be processed by technology, which compressed a lot of energy.

For an ordinary family of three, each person eats 2 packs of biscuits a day, and the daily cost of living is 21 yuan. The drinking water is uniformly controlled by the government and distributed to each family. There is no need to spend money on 10 liters a week. If you want extra water, you have to spend money to buy it. .In this way, 600 yuan a month is enough for a family of three to live on.

People's consumption level and consumption desire are very low, and most people have the thinking of "as long as they 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 lived in a harsh environment since they were young, and it is already very difficult to survive. Improving the quality of life is a luxury they dare not even think about.

However, it is still affordable for everyone to buy a fresh fruit for 1 yuan and go back to taste it.

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

Qin Lu raised her hand and said, "Let me go, I will use my skills to help you carry oranges without any effort."

Ke Shaobin said positively: "I'll go too, Xiaotu 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'll go with Senior Brother Liu. If I encounter danger, I still have attack skills such as electric current and gravity to protect everyone from retreating."

Liu Zhaoqing said: "When brushing up the copy, you must bring a nanny, you understand."

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

Jiang Pingce nodded calmly: "Yes."

Lin Manluo said: "That's Xingwen, Ping Ce, Lulu, Xiao Ke, Zhuo Feng, and Senior Brother Liu. The six of us will go out first in the morning, and the remaining six of us will change shifts in the afternoon?"

Teammates have said that there is no problem.

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

Yue Xingwen took the mask and put it on, pointing to Jiang Pingce's neat hair: "What about the hair, do you leave it alone?"

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

Everyone: "..."

Then they became the fugitive patients in the hospital, right?

One by one, their heads were covered with gauze, as if their heads had been broken. Everyone would definitely run away when they saw them. Does anyone dare to buy things from them?

Yue Xingwen coughed lightly, rubbed his nose and said, "Brother, although our 183 research group has always been abnormal, it is not enough to sell an orange, making it look like a triad gang fighting..."
