BXBX NOVEL Chapter 507: Split Up
Chapter 507: Split Up
At this moment, their eyes met. Goat slowly raised his right hand and pressed it toward Helt.
Then Helt’s pupils dilated instantly because he saw a red fireball suddenly shoot out from Goat’s palm, flying toward him at high speed!
In the split second, Helt felt the coldness of death!
Fortunately, the fireball passed through 10cm away from his face, scraping up a few strands of hair and curling it with high heat.
Helt even smelled the smell of burning protein.
Then, he saw his most capable and cruel subordinate, One-Eyed Kyle, being hit by the small fireball and flying toward the wall behind.
In an instant, the subordinate was evaporated, leaving only a scorched “human” mark on the wall and a small pile of ashes.
“What… what the hell is that!!” Helt’s common sense had subverted.
At this time, a thin man walked out from the side, holding Kurtis in his hand.
He held Kurtis, who was 190cm tall and weighed over 70kg as if he was carrying a chicken.
This man was Fang Linyan. He said faintly to Helt,
“Mr. Helt, well, I guess you won’t have any bold ideas now, right?”
“Then, I hope that when we meet next time, you can bring what we want, otherwise you won’t be able to keep the remaining hand.”
Helt was stunned, thinking: My hands are still intact. Why did he say the remaining hand?
Immediately, he came back to his senses and understood what the other party meant. He let out a heart-rending scream.
“Don’t do this!! Please wait!! I brought what you want, really, I will give it to you now!”
After hearing Helt’s words, Vulture, who had sneaked up behind him, whispered,
“If you lie, you won’t be able to save your left eye.”
Helt immediately took out a small box from his arms and said,
“This is 50 grams of purple polycrystalline stone! I swear, this is all the polycrystalline stone I can find!”
Fang Linyan took the small box, opened it, and immediately got the prompt,
“Milestone: Those Shiny Things are triggered. You get 50 grams of purple polycrystalline stone.”
He nodded to Vulture, and Vulture slipped into the darkness.
At this time, Fang Linyan said,
“Well, there is no doubt that Mr. Helt, you have a good habit. I hope you can surprise me next time we meet.”
***
Needless to say, Helt mobilized all his forces to collect these things at all costs.
In the end, he almost pawned his underwear, but the number of Venter Crystals was still not enough.
This was due to the special nature of Venter Crystal. It looked like ice crystals, but its real purpose was to mix it into wine and drink it.
Then people who drank it would feel that life had reached its peak…
This stuff was only available in some very luxurious and private clubs.
The person who invented this thing was called Venter. Because of this invention, he was sentenced to more than 1,600 years in prison by the justice who hated this product…
Fortunately, what Helt said was not enough was in relation to the 100 grams that Goat wanted. In the end, Helt, who almost broke his leg by running, managed to find 45 grams of Venter Crystal.
According to his original words, not even the devil could do better than him.
So they completed the milestone: Those Shiny Things and received the title: Mineralogist.
This title should come in handy at specific times. After putting on the title, perception will +2.
It was relatively rare for a title to increase basic attribute like this.
Helt’s cooperation not only allowed him to bring back his nephew, but Fang Linyan and the others also gave him 10 Red Barracuda Star Pirates’ Loots as promised.
At first, Helt didn’t dare to ask for it, but Fang Linyan and the others just put the loot boxes on the table, so he had no choice but to accept them.
It was worth mentioning that Helt actually got some good stuffs out of the loot boxes, which almost made up for the loss of helping Fang Linyan and the others.
Helt knew that after the 3 arrived here for the first time, he gave each of them a personal portable communication terminal. The abbreviation of this thing was EKC Optical Brain, also called portable optical brain.
It could be understood as the mobile phone used by people in Tutuga Starport. Its appearance was similar to a smart bracelet. With a single press, a virtual screen would pop up directly in front for operation.
It had all the functions of a mobile phone and a notebook.
However, there was a problem with this thing, which was easily affected by interference from various cosmic rays, so the signal would become very poor in different areas and even different time periods. Therefore, they still had to rely on the team channel at critical moments.
Even so, this EKC Optical Brain was still used by gangsters. They had jailbroken it, so the information in it could bypass government surveillance. It was quite easy to use.
The 3 of them planned to split up at this time.
Goat felt that business opportunities had come again, because the remaining zircon, purple polycrystalline stone, and Venter Crystal would be extremely scarce.
When he was on the ship before, he also established contact with many contractors, so the salesman instinct kicked in again. He planned to sell the materials first.
After all, the Mineralogist’s +2 perception was quite good.
Vulture planned to search for ways to complete other milestones according to the original plan.
Fang Linyan was looking for any side mission.
They would work separately while maintaining close contact to maximize efficiency.
Before parting, they divided the star currency among them — These were stolen from the hands of the gangsters who tried to rob them before.
Especially Helt’s confidants who came after were quite wealthy.
Each person could get about 5,000-6,000 star currency. In Tutuga Starport, the purchasing power of star currency was quite strong. A steak set meal only cost about 10 star currency.
6,000 star currency was enough for their expenses for dozens of hours, and everyone also took a Red Barracuda Star Pirates’ Loot.
Before parting, Fang Linyan suddenly said,
“By the way, there’s one thing you have to remember: don’t try the specialty product, crystal smelling salts.”
Vulture and Goat were both surprised,
“Why??”
Fang Linyan said,
“I don’t have any concrete evidence yet, but a specialty here called crystal smelling salts may cause big trouble, especially after we leave Coles.”
After Goat and Vulture heard Fang Linyan’s words, they both nodded at the same time. Anyway, they had never heard of this thing before.
After the 3 of them parted ways, they all took off their Blue Vine Badges and went out again since they no longer needed to fish.
As night fell, Punk Bay showed its bustling and chaotic side. Among the bustling people, contraband and smuggled goods were sold everywhere.
Not only that, the hazy light concealed the dilapidated and dirty side of the illegal buildings on the sides, and the colorful lights were dazzling.
Most of the store doors that were closed during the day were also opened. Behind the doors were glass showcases. Several bewitching girls were twisting their charming figures against the steel pipes.
If one were willing to pay 5 star currency to have a drink, he would undoubtedly get more services.
Continuing to walk forward, Fang Linyan even saw a pointed-eared elf wearing a swimsuit in the window, a centaur girl walking around, etc…
This really opened his eyes. However, these spirits and centaurs were not born naturally, but were products from the genetic laboratory.
Their average life span was no more than 10 years and their intelligence was roughly equivalent to that of 8 years old children, but they could satisfy the curiosity of a large number of customers.
Not only that, the people soliciting customers assured that their genes were fundamentally different from humans, so they would not contract or spread those damn diseases.
The customers wouldn’t be worried after the passionate moment, so the business of such a shop was actually better than the others.
Seeing this, Fang Linyan couldn’t help but sympathize with the pole dancers in front.
Forget about competing with people, they even have to compete with animals! Now humans seem have obviously lost the competition… Haiz, this society is so cruel! Employment pressure is too great!
After following the flow of people and leaving this street, there was a huge, brightly lit square ahead. There were at least hundreds of food trucks and densely packed signboards blackened by oil smoke.
What he heard was the sizzling sound of stir-frying or roasting, filling the air with an alluring aroma.
There are also many people at the Diner here, and there is a constant flow of people passing by.
When Fang Linyan was walking leisurely, he suddenly saw a prompt on his retinas,
“Contractor ZB419, there is a food that meets the definition of dark cuisine within 10 meters of you, please taste it now.”
“Please note that you must eat and digest more than 100 grams of this food to meet the relevant conditions.”
Fang Linyan didn’t want to eat at first, but he could only stop in surprise. He didn’t expect that eating in the adventure world seemed to be able to achieve this goal.
At this time, a clear arrow appeared on Fang Linyan’s retinas. He looked around and found that it was pointed at a strange small stall on the side.
