"Sister Huang, look! Brother Luo bought some new clothes!" Wang Shishi said excitedly, as if she had discovered a new continent. "Brother Luo looks so good in these clothes!"
Huang Jiahui's eyes were focused on Luo Yuan. She had been distracted by the mutated earthworms in the neighborhood. She had only noticed Luo Yuan's clothes when Wang Shishi reminded her.
He was wearing a black coat, black pants, black shoes, and a full set of black clothes. There were thousands of types of black, but none of them were as black as the feathers of a black owl. The black was deep and mysterious, as if it could attract light. Luo Yuan's skin was fair and rosy, his body was tall, and his aura was restrained. The black clothes made him look even more handsome and mysterious.
Huang Jiahui's eyes wandered for a long time before she came back to her senses. Suddenly, she snorted coldly and said, "Shishi, do you want me to sleep with you tonight?"
Wang Shishi rolled her eyes and said, "Sure! I love sleeping with you, Sister Huang!"
After saying that, Huang Jiahui tilted her head and sulked. Due to the shortage of raw materials, the clothes in the shops were extremely expensive. Both of them were unemployed, so one million might seem like a lot, but it would not take them long to spend. If they exchanged it all for food stamps, it would only be about seventy to eighty thousand.
Moreover, Luo Yuan loved meat. Food alone cost him more than 30 catties of food stamps. To save money, she had not bought any new clothes. She had even planned to buy some needles and thread to mend some of her torn undergarments. She had not expected Luo Yuan to buy clothes for her. She felt sad when she thought about it.
Luo Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Would you believe me if I told you that I didn't buy these clothes?"
"Of course I would! It must have been abandoned by someone else and you happened to pick it up!" Huang Jiahui glanced at him and said disdainfully.
She thought to herself, "Do you think I'm an idiot? I'll believe you if you picked up a car. Most cars are treated like scrap metal these days, but clothes, especially new ones, I don't believe anyone would throw them away."
Luo Yuan thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to hide. Plus, he had a good excuse. He said, "Actually, I'm already an evolved person!"
Her words were like a sudden clap of thunder. Huang Jiahui was the only one who could remain calm, while Wang Shishi screamed in excitement.
After a while, Huang Jiahui came back to her senses and realized that what Luo Yuan had said was completely irrelevant. She continued to question him. "What does being an evolver have to do with buying clothes?"
"You know that evolved humans have strange abilities, and some of them are completely useless. That's why you didn't tell me." Luo Yuan continued to make up stories. "My ability is pretty useless. I can synthesize different materials into objects. You should know about the black feathers from before, right? I synthesized them into my clothes. Now my clothes can't even be penetrated by ordinary bullets. I have some of those feathers left. I'll give you a set when the time comes. "
Huang Jiahui looked at his clothes suspiciously. She realized that he had worn them before, but now they looked brand new. There was a strange sense of beauty to them. She rebuked him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's not like it's a bad thing. What's there to hide? We won't tell anyone."
She was not completely unworried. She was more knowledgeable than Luo Yuan. She knew that although his ability could not be used in battle, it would be more useful to a force than a dozen evolved humans who could fight. If the government or the military found out about it, they would be recruited immediately. Nobody could tell if it would be a good or bad thing.
She looked at Wang Shishi seriously and said, "Shishi, you can't tell anyone about this, okay?"
"I won't tell anyone!" Having grown up so much, she had long been able to distinguish between good and bad things. Wang Shishi hurriedly promised!
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, you guys don't have to be jealous. I'm just lucky. All of you have a chance to evolve."
Luo Yuan took out 2.5 pounds of Rampage Japalura's meat and a pile of bloody internal organs from the sack. "Wash these first. We'll eat this tonight!"
Huang Jiahui did not pay much attention at first. She thought he had gone to the market when he came back. She picked up the meat and was about to go to the kitchen. "Let's marinate it for tomorrow. I bought groceries in the afternoon. "
Luo Yuan quickly stopped her. "Don't, this isn't normal meat. It's like the green beetle we ate last time. It can help you evolve. Wash it first and cut it into small pieces. Everyone can try it later."
Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi's faces turned green.
Huang Jiahui said angrily, "Alright, I'll go wash it first. I hope I can evolve this time, or I won't eat it again."
She picked up the meat and went to the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a frown. "This meat is too tough. I can't cut it. Can I borrow your knife? What's that bloody thing? It's all mush."
"That's the liver. That's really good stuff. If you want to sell it, people will buy it for 1,000 catties of food stamps," Luo Yuan said with a smile as he passed her the knife.
Huang Jiahui said in disbelief, "Really? Is it really that expensive? "
"How much is a catty of meat in the market now?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Five or six dollars a catty, but it's getting cheaper now," Huang Jiahui said.
"That's level one mutated beast meat. Level two mutated beast meat costs 30 catties of food stamps, and level three is 80 catties of food stamps. If it's level four, how much do you think people will buy it and sell it for?" Luo Yuan explained.
"That depends on supply and demand. If level four mutated beasts are rare, people will buy it no matter how much they pay," Huang Jiahui said after some thought. "Are you saying that this is the meat of a level 4 mutated beast?" Huang Jiahui pondered for a moment and said.
Luo Yuan nodded.
Huang Jiahui covered her mouth and could not close it for a long time.
"Then … then we'll have to eat tens of thousands of dollars a day!" Wang Shishi said in shock.
"Something like that. But with your physique, I'm afraid you'll get a nosebleed soon," Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"What level was the big green beetle we ate last time?"
Luo Yuan continued, "A normal green beetle is level two, and a big green beetle is level three."
Wang Shishi was shocked and asked curiously, "What kind of creature is level four? Brother Luo, you must have seen it before."
"It's better if you don't know. I'm worried you'll have nightmares."
Luo Yuan was scared when he thought of the dragon snake. It looked like a legendary dragon.
Of course, the dragon snake had nothing to do with a legendary dragon. The system's naming of mutated beasts was the same as the official naming system. However, the official naming of the creature as a dragon snake showed how terrifying it was. Apparently, the system thought that the dragon snake was similar to the legendary dragon.
Huang Jiahui was already doubtful that Luo Yuan had brought out the meat of level three or four mutated beasts, which could not be bought in the market. She was even more certain now that Luo Yuan had seen a level four mutated beast. She asked in a trembling voice, "Have you been to the wild?"
Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment before he looked at Huang Jiahui and nodded.
Looking at Luo Yuan's determined gaze, Huang Jiahui opened her mouth to say something. She wanted to persuade him not to risk his life in the wild, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly. She was suddenly worried that Luo Yuan might not be able to come back after he left one day.
Huang Jiahui blushed and quickly said, "I'm going to the kitchen."
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
Luo Yuan came back to his senses and was silent.
Ever since he had gone to the wild and escaped death, he had been under a lot of pressure. He had to level up as soon as possible to prepare for the future. This time, he had only gone to the edge of the wilderness, and he had already encountered a dark blue rank creature. If the area was expanded to the entire Jiangnan Province, or even the entire country, he did not know how many of these creatures there would be. He was afraid that it would be too many to count.
Not to mention, there might be even more terrifying mutated beasts that had evolved.
Hedong City was peaceful, but judging from the forest that stretched into the horizon, the city was like an isolated island. Anyone could see that as time passed, the situation here would become more and more severe. The development of science and technology could not keep up with the speed of the changes in the world. In fact, due to the effects of the changes, the level of science and technology had regressed greatly. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before they fell into the enemy's hands.
It was better to be a dog in peace than a man in chaos.
If possible, he would rather live a nine-to-five life like before, rather than struggle to survive like this.
Huang Jiahui came back to the living room with two plates. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying.
Luo Yuan looked at her and thought for a while. "Do you know what's the biggest food source for mutated beasts?"
Before they could answer, Luo Yuan continued, "It's people. There are six to seven billion people in the world. Of course, it's less than a third of that, but it's still a huge number. A city is like a huge food source for mutated beasts. As long as they can overcome the spikes on the outside, they can do whatever they want in the back.
Hedong City is relatively safe because the army is stationed there. Other places might not be so lucky. They might have already fallen like Donghu City.
Mutated beasts continue to evolve, and it seems like they will continue to evolve. Their territories are getting bigger and bigger. If there is no technological explosion in the near future, humans will have to evolve like the mutated beasts to survive. So I hope you can evolve this time. "
Luo Yuan's calm voice seemed to carry a chill to their bones. Both of them were moved. During this period of peace and comfort, they seemed to have selectively forgotten that the outside world was in chaos. They had forgotten the days when they were like mice hiding in the dark, trembling in fear even when they were lying in bed.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the living room became tense.
Maybe it was because the green beetle meat was disgusting, or maybe it was because they had experienced it this time, but although the two of them had a bitter expression on their faces and frowned, they didn't vomit anymore.
Wang Shishi suddenly complained of a headache after eating for less than a minute.
Luo Yuan did not pay much attention to it at first. After all, a headache was nothing. But then her face became redder, and the headache got worse. Finally, she fainted on the floor. Just as he was about to pick her up, he felt his hair stand up.
