dark fire

() This place is too different from what I imagined.

Li Huo was quite speechless looking at the scene ahead.

Was it the scene similar to space magic that left Li Huo speechless?Of course not, but the area of ​​the so-called grain base is really small, completely different from the scene Li Huo imagined.

Taking the country where Li Huo was originally located on the earth as an example, the output of one mu of land in one season can roughly support two people, and generally one mu of land is cultivated for two seasons. A total population of more than 2000 million requires at least 500 million mu of land to feed such a large population.

Calculated in this way, that is to say, even if the food production level of the Rogge camp is comparable to that of Li Huo's original country, at least more than 3300 square kilometers of arable land can barely meet the most basic human food needs of the Rogge camp. The area is more than half of the total area of ​​the Rogge camp.

However, after staying here for so many days, Li Huo did not see such a large area of ​​cultivated land.

Therefore, Li Huo always thought that the Rogge camp used space magic to store the entire cultivated land in the dimensional space attached to the main plane of the dark world.

However, this so-called grain base has greatly overturned Li Huo's thinking.

No matter how Li Huo calculated, the land surrounded by tall walls would not exceed 100 square kilometers.

"Just this little land, enough to feed so many people in the Rogge camp? Could it be that this is the legendary yield of ten thousand catties per mu, ten crops a year?"

Li Huo couldn't help but said softly, with a slightly mocking tone in doubt, but was heard by the people next to him.

"Haha, I don't know the young man. It is impossible to produce ten thousand catties per mu, but it is too small to underestimate these grains."

A druid professional with over 30 levels next to him answered Li Huo with a smile.

This druid is dressed like a standard old farmer. If it weren't for the consciousness between professionals, they can detect each other's occupation, general level and even equipment. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably think that he had just finished working in the farmland. the farmer.

However, this old druid farmer, who seemed to be in his forties, was not only a professional with a level of over thirty, but also a second-level guard of the nuns, responsible for managing the food base here.

"Do you underestimate these grains that are ripened ten times a year? What kind of grain is this? It's too exaggerated!"

Li Huo was really shocked. Aren't these grains just wheat or something? How could it be more than three times a year? Is it still wheat? Genetic modification can't reach this level.

"This is ordinary wheat, but after the joint transformation of several epic-level druid adults, these wheats have been able to complete the entire growth process in a very short period of time. It can be harvested once a week, so one The ten-year-old really underestimated them."

The person in charge of the Druid food base explained to Li Huo with a smile, not caring that he revealed some strange information.

Epic order?What's this?

Although Li Huo's doubts about food were resolved, another word that had never appeared in the game made him fall into confusion again.

On the way back to Angela's hut from the food base, the two saw a man struggling on the side of the road.

Here at Camp Rogue, it's nothing new for people to be down on the road.

After all, it has a population of more than 2000 million. Except for professionals and mercenaries, it is impossible for other ordinary human beings to eat and sleep every day, wake up and eat again.

Although there is a crisis from hell, like the sword of Damocles hanging above the head, the overall mood of the entire human being is united and cooperative.

But everyone has their own ideas, and when people get along with each other, there will always be various relationships or conflicts, so any kind of story can happen.

Those who are penniless due to various reasons can only beg on the side of the road, and what is even more tragic is to die miserably on the side of the road, although this possibility is extremely small.

The nuns are the rulers of this city, but their manpower is not sufficient. In this huge city, the low-level mercenaries who are responsible for managing the affairs of ordinary people may not be able to cover everything.

Senior professionals may be able to monitor the entire city through special means, but their main focus is on preventing sneak attacks by monsters, and they generally ignore the encounters of ordinary people.

However, because of the invasion of hell, there are still a lot of kind people, and these people usually get help from others.

Angela is one of them.

After paying off the debts and getting rich quickly, the soft-hearted Angela would always help these people up and give them some gold coins when encountering such a situation, so that they could at least have a good meal.

But this person is different today. People he met in the past would not refuse Angela's helping hand to them, and would also gratefully accept the coins that Angela handed over.

But this time when Angela helped the man up, the man was stunned for a while, and then rejected Angela's kindness, obviously trying his best to stand up even though he was almost exhausted.

According to the past practice, no one could refuse to be supported to stand up by a big beauty like Angela.

The few gold coins that Angela sent were also blocked by that person, although both of them could easily see the painful look in that person's eyes.

Li Huo suddenly found this person very interesting.

"This man, would you mind having a light meal with us?" Li Huo invited out loud.

"Why...why?" It was obviously the weak voice that had been hungry for days.

"It's not for any reason. Judging from your appearance, you should know a lot about this city. I want to know some news about this city. Since I met you, I will ask you by the way."

Li Huo spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. He found a random reason, but he couldn't say, you don't accept Angela's kindness. I can only think of a way to fool you and let you accept Angela's help. .

The man didn't know if he had no strength to speak or if he agreed, anyway, Li Huo easily helped him up, and the three of them went to the nearest small restaurant for dinner.

"Hey, bro, you don't even want to eat anything. Could it be that you suspect me of poisoning you?"

Seeing that this man was so rigid that he was about to die, Li Huo could only deliberately pretend to be helpless, facing this strange man who refused to eat even though all the food was brought to the front.

"this is not…"

"Please use, please use, you are welcome"

Li Huo picked up the tableware and started while talking, otherwise this old man might starve to death after looking at the pile of food in front of him.

Li Huo chatted with this person while eating, and probably got some information about this person.

The man's name was Delance.

Of course Delance is from the Rogge camp, and he failed in business, but where did he get the money from his previous business, and his family background, Delance never mentioned.

In fact, he would have guessed that without mentioning Li Huo, it was nothing more than some rich and powerful people who had illegitimate children born to women outside, were educated, and had a deformed self-esteem that could be called aristocratic, but they were not arrogant. way to obtain recognition from the father's side of any relationship.

From the look Angela handed to Li Huo, Li Huo knew that Angela wanted Li Huo to help this poor man.

Although poor people have something to hate, Li Huo will not ignore Angela's kindness because of this. Angela is not the kind of person who forgets herself and is willing to sacrifice herself for others needlessly. She will definitely do good deeds.

Judging from the contact just now, this guy is very old-fashioned. If you want to give him money directly, I'm afraid it won't work. You have to find a way to make him feel that he is not accepting charity from others.

Li Huo thought for a while, and finally came up with a solution.

For a person like this, if you give him money directly, he doesn't want it, but if you give him money indirectly, so that his self-esteem can be respected, he will accept it.

So Li Huo decided to use the method of hiring to give him a job for nothing, so that he would not be satisfied with his self-esteem, and would rather starve to death than be fed.

"De Lance, I don't know what you want to do now? Is it to find a job to support yourself?"

Li Huo asked tentatively.

"Well, I, I don't know what I can do."

Although De Lance has learned a lot of knowledge, he doesn't know any kind of actual technical work. Even if he finds a job as a street sweeper in this city, he will probably be eliminated because of his carelessness.

"So, I have a job here, I wonder if you would like to do it?"

Sure enough, as Li Huo guessed in his heart, isn't it true for many college students who have just graduated on the earth? They don't want to do low-level jobs, they can't do high-level jobs, and they haven't studied technical jobs.

"What is this job?"

"Well, it's quite a tedious job, but it's not difficult. That's right, I'm a professional, and I usually get a lot of equipment from killing monsters. If I simply sell it at the auction house, I will actually lose a lot of equipment." I want to cut gold coins, so I want to open an item shop that sells equipment in this city, but I don’t know the needs of professionals and mercenaries in this city, so I need to do a survey, but I don’t have so much time, so I hope you can help me do a survey to find out the equipment demand here."

"This...that's it..."

"That's the way it is. I can pay ten gold coins as a signing bonus first, and a monthly salary of ten gold coins. I wonder if my brother is interested in doing this job?"

"No, sorry, I really want to do this job, but I can't." Delance refused.

"What do you say? I really want to do it but I can't do it?"

"...I still owe a debt of two hundred gold coins..."

"What? It's only two hundred gold coins? It's simple. I'll lend you two hundred gold coins to repay the debt, and then deduct five gold coins from your monthly salary. It only takes more than a year, and you How about paying off all the debts owed to me?"

There is such a good thing?Delance looked at me with disbelieving eyes.

"Hehe, don't look at me too much, I'm not an ordinary professional. I can get this little money by killing a monster. This is the gap between a professional and an ordinary person."

Li Huo smiled slightly, and told De Lance his reasons.

"... I understand, I will try my best to do it."

"Then it's settled. Here are two hundred gold coins. You take them to pay off the debt first. You come to me tomorrow. After I pay you the signing money, you can officially start work. There is no time limit for the investigation, but you The more detailed the investigation, the better, and if I think that the results of your investigation are quite good, there will be additional rewards for you."

Li Huo took out two hundred gold coins from the inventory and handed them over.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after taking the gold coin?" De Lance didn't take the gold coin immediately.

"Hehe, where can you go as an ordinary person, unless you are not afraid of being killed by these monsters. If you hide in the Rogge camp, when I level up in the future, you will not be able to escape, will you? ?”

Li Huo spread his hands, looking quite ignorant and ridiculous for what you said.

"I see, I will report to boss immediately after I pay off the debt." De Lance took the bag containing the gold coins, "Thank you, boss, I don't know where you live, boss, what should I do?" How to find you."

Li Huo took out pen, paper and ink from the inventory, quickly wrote down the address of Angela's cottage on the dining table, handed the white paper to De Lance, and said, "You don't need to thank me, just tell me You are my employee and I am your boss, and if you do your job well, that is the best reward for me."

De Lance didn't say anything, just saluted and left immediately.
