Chapter 167 Contrast
Unexpected?
Wouldn't it be nice to just let them think about it?
Thinking of this, Steven looked at the signal that finally appeared and opened the live broadcast room.

If nothing else is broadcast, it will be broadcast about two people drinking.

This extremely simple scene is a happy life that the people in the city are extremely envious of.

Soon the scene of the two drinking was spread to infinite distances along the signal.

It's a pity that there are very few people who can see them drinking.

Because in this mutated world, even electricity has become a scarce resource.

Although it is enough for ordinary people's daily life.

But they absolutely cannot have the luxury of watching the live broadcast.

What's more, at this time, ordinary people are either struggling to survive.

Or he had already rested and tried to conserve his physical strength.

It is impossible to have time to watch the live broadcast.

in the city.

In an almost intact high-rise building.

Most people here don't have lights on, and some only have flickering candlelight.

Although there is no power limit here.

But the electricity bill is very expensive.

It’s so expensive that Barrios doesn’t think it’s necessary, so it’s better to use a more primitive tool like a candle.

Who would have thought that people living in this era would one day not be able to afford electricity.

By the dim candlelight, Barrios poured out a glass of mixed wine sadly and drank it carefully.

Mixed wine, mixed wine.

A wine with such a name would certainly not be a good wine.

As the name suggests, wine is full of impurities.

It is composed of the residue left after fermentation and filtration of pure wine during the winemaking process.

Not only are there many impurities, but there is only a faint smell of wine.

But this kind of miscellaneous wine, which no dog seems to drink, is actually a nectar that most people would never imagine.

Only people from at least the middle class can barely afford some mixed drinks.

As a refreshing drink.

After all, the entire Jinshan City is only so big, and every inch of land is worth as much as gold.

Not to mention that brewing requires a lot of grain.

The price is naturally extremely high.

Even someone like Barrios who can have a room of his own is considered to be doing very well.

Take a sip.

Chewing the impurities in the mixed wine, Barrios smiled and said, "This wine is really delicious."

“Especially the graininess in it is a delicious taste that pure wine cannot provide at all.”

"Pure wine? Without the taste of wine, it must be very unpalatable, right?"

Wine and gold?

This is what good wine drinkers call the impurities in their wine.

This is also their last fig leaf.

Feel the impurities contained in the miscellaneous wine and the astringent feeling of constant friction on the tongue and mouth.

Barrios still held back.

After thoroughly drying out every trace of taste on it, I swallowed it completely.

For an awakened person, digesting rougher food like wine and gold is not a problem at all.

It's just that just drinking mixed drinks is a bit boring.

Drinking wouldn't be much fun without food to go with it.

After hesitating for a moment, Barrios took out his cell phone.

It was one of his few amusements.

Judging from the dense dust on the box containing the phone, Barrios doesn't use it often.

With a familiar startup sound, Barrios clicked on the software he had been waiting for.

This is a live streaming software.

It is one of the few free entertainment methods.

In this era where even eating is a problem, even entertainment has become a luxury.

Quickly swiping his phone, Barrios soon found a live broadcast room that interested him.

Bright and spacious room.

The incandescent lamp seems to use no electricity and gives full play to its own light.

In the crystal clear beer bottle, there is pure beer without any impurities.

As well as peanuts and sliced ​​meat on the table.

Each one makes Barrios salivate.

Damn.

Who the hell is playing the previous video?

Aren't you afraid of being greedy?

Such luxurious configuration is almost difficult to appear in this mutated world.

It was only when the world had just begun to mutate for the second time that many people had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

Only then can we have such a luxurious way of eating.

But Barrios couldn't bear to leave the live broadcast room.

He closed his eyes.

Imagine yourself becoming the person in the picture.

He stretched out the non-existent chopsticks into the void.

It seemed that a piece of meat was caught by him.

Then he slowly put it into his mouth and started chewing.

The meat of the awakened beast tastes extremely delicious and is surprisingly tender.

That magical texture and taste took Barrios straight into the sky and to the other side of happiness.

After eating a few more peanuts, Barrios felt a little happier.

Even the mixed wine that tasted bitter in the mouth and was difficult to swallow became palatable.

This is why he uses his phone even if he doesn't want to turn on the light.

The beautiful life in that picture is the spiritual food that supports him to continue living.

Judging from the number of people who entered the live broadcast room, countless people, like Barrios, took big gulps of the delicious spiritual food in front of them.

This drink lasted for a long time.

It was so long that Barrios almost lost track of time.

It wasn't until the two people in the picture changed that they realized that this beautiful live broadcast might have come to an end.

After greedily drinking the last sip of beer, Eric said with great satisfaction: "Steven, thank you for your hospitality."

"Next time when I have work points, I will definitely invite him back."

Facing Eric's pie, Steven said indifferently: "You should keep the pie you drew and eat it yourself."

"A person with this type of power has a terrifying appetite."

"It's better to keep your work points and exchange them for meat."

"One bottle of beer costs one work point, but it can be exchanged for five kilograms of awakened sheep meat."

work points?

What work points?
Why can I redeem so many things?

Barrios' mind was filled with questions.

He suddenly had a strange idea.

Is it possible that the scene in front of me is not a recording?

He then gave up on this ridiculous idea.

Looking at the live broadcast room, the clothes worn by the two people were ordinary.

How could they afford delicious drinks and food in this mutated world?

It is impossible for any city to have such treatment.

What's more, the man on the left is the cheapest power user.

Although it is stronger than the awakened ones without powers.

But because the types of superpowers are too common, they are basically not much stronger.

There is no way you can have such a delicious meal.

Clip!

This is definitely editing and post-dubbing!
The purpose is to attract everyone's curiosity and make them pay attention to the live broadcast room.

Never got huge traffic.

Or they may commit fraud by earning work points in order to achieve their own ulterior motives.

After hesitating for a moment, Barrios canceled his attention.

His shriveled wallet couldn't bear the trouble.

At this moment, Eric in the picture said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this something that can't be helped?"

"After all, compared to drinking, it's more important to have a full stomach."

"If I don't have a full stomach, how can I have the strength to work?"

"You know, I need to work a full eight hours a day to earn one work point."

"It's not like you. You only need to take care of the flowers and plants, and you can get three or five work points."

"This is simply infuriating!"

eight hours?

Is a work point so cheap?

This is indeed a funny fraud gang, actually able to tell such clumsy lies.

Barrios, who worked hard for sixteen hours, could only get enough food for five days.

Not to mention he had other needs.

and daily expenses.

Basically there is no money left.

I have to say that awakening is indeed an evolution of human beings.

Barrios can work sixteen hours a day without feeling tired at all.

This is why he can still withstand it.

Faced with Eric's complaint, Steve said funnyly: "What does it mean to take care of flowers and plants?"

"I need to concentrate on using my powers to continuously catalyze the growth of those delicate flowers and plants."

"Well don't complain, at least we won't have to worry about food and drink."

"By the way, I have a good thing for you."

After saying that, Steven walked directly to the room, took out a wooden barrel from the inner room, and said to Eric:
"I'm not as rich as you think."

"In fact, the reason why I am able to drink every day is entirely because I have mastered the art of brewing wine."

"There's still some wine left in this barrel, so I'll give it to you."

Eric's eyes lit up, he immediately took the barrel and shouted: "Life and career are really popular."

"Steven, you are my angel!"

After shaking the barrel, Eric was instantly discouraged and said, "Why is this the only thing left?" Steven turned over the white smoke and said, "If there is more left, can I give it to you?"

"You really don't want Bilian."

When Eric thought about it, it seemed that this was true, and he immediately said angrily: "Steven, good brother, my angel."

"I was wrong."

"But with this little wine left, I really don't need to carry a barrel back."

Thinking of this, Eric directly opened the lid of the wine barrel with brute force, revealing the true face of Lushan in the wine barrel in the live broadcast room.

It was a little bit of pure wine surrounded by countless wine and gold.

Crystal clear.

Under the illumination of the light, there was a human golden light.

Just looking at it already made Barrios salivate.

Under Barrios's gaze, Eric poured the remaining wine directly into the lunch box he brought.

no more, no less.

Just enough to fill a lunch box.

Dotted with bits of oil, it looks like a pot of delicious chicken soup.

Seemingly finding the residue in the barrel a bit bothersome, Eric waved his hand and said, "Steven, can I take out the trash for you?"

Steven said nonchalantly: "Then I'll trouble you."

"After pouring it, rinse it with water and help me rinse the barrel clean."

Rubbish?

What do you mean by rubbish?

Barrios looked at the mixed wine in his hand and suddenly felt that it didn't smell good anymore.

What you are reluctant to drink is trash in the eyes of others.

What a depressing fact.

Then Barrios perked up again.

He said secretly: "A blind trick, this is definitely a blind trick."

"No matter how rich the scammers are, they won't be willing to throw away such a large barrel of mixed wine."

"Blend it with water. At least thirty bottles of miscellaneous wine can be blended."

"How could they be willing to give up?"

Ever since, while Barrios was waiting for the opponent to slap him in the face, he saw a very incredible operation.

Eric directly added water to the wine barrel, then flushed it, then flushed all the wine and the wine into the sewer.

Within half a minute, there was not even a trace of dregs left in the barrel.

Such an incredible scene made Barrios call it fake, it was definitely fake.

Maybe what looks like a sewer is actually a wine collector.

Calculating the water just added, the ratio is almost the same as that of miscellaneous wine.

Barrios' excited heart instantly relaxed.

As if holding a pearl of wisdom, I watched the two people performing in the live broadcast room amusedly.

At this moment, Steven saw that he had just wiped the table without hesitation.

The rag stained with oil and garbage was rinsed under water.

All of a sudden, all kinds of garbage flowed down the water, and they all rushed into the sewer that Barrios thought was the wine collector.

Such a bizarre scene made Barrios' eyes widen.

That's Jingui's miscellaneous wine, how can you add rag water?
Is this a little too much?
Barrios only felt that the mixed wine in his hand became extremely ironic.

For a moment, the delicious feeling made it difficult for him to swallow.

Barrios broke through the defense instantly and roared loudly:
stop.

Stop it!

Don't do that.

If you really don't want those mixed drinks, be sure to give them to me.

Barrios even felt a little desperate.

It was the heartbreaking feeling of someone trampling on something you cherished so much.

It's like someone is ravaging your favorite goddess in front of you.

It makes people extremely desperate.

Now that the drinking is over, the live broadcast has also been announced to be coming to an end.

Steven picked up the phone as a habit, stood up and sent Eric off to the door.

But he forgot that he was still conducting a funny live broadcast.

Following the strange angle of the mobile phone, Barrios saw a scene that shocked him even more.

This is a spacious and comfortable land.

There are exquisite little houses everywhere.

What goes too far is that these small houses basically only have one floor, which is a waste of land and resources.

It's nothing comparable to a 20-story mansion like Barrios.

Bright and dazzling lights shone from the windows of these small houses.

Obviously, electricity is not a scarce resource here.

Look down the brightly lit streets.

Barrios only had time to see a huge tiger sculpture before he discovered that Steven had closed the live broadcast room.

His phone went completely black.

He stared blankly at the phone screen that had fallen into darkness.

Barrios was a little distracted.

Reason told him that such a wonderful place could not exist in the world.

But his intuition told him that this kind of place did exist somewhere in Blue Star.

No.

It exists on American soil.

Barrios is not blind, and he can recognize that there are definitely American-style buildings there.

Where is this place?
How to get there?

Countless questions arose in Barrios' mind.

He couldn't wait to open his phone and search quickly.

However, based on the valid information obtained after the information blockade.

He found nothing that matched everything in the live broadcast room.

Could it really be a scam?

Such a real scam?

Convince yourself of the scam.

Barrios felt disappointed.

Perhaps this is the power of liars.

It can break other people's defenses and outline a world that makes people extremely envious and yearn for.

Perhaps it can be called a paradise world.

There is some despair in my heart.

Barrios didn't want to believe that heaven was so far away from him.

So untouchable.

A flash of light.

Suddenly he remembered the huge sculpture he saw at the end of the live broadcast.

The kind of tiger sculpture that is full of majesty and can make people fearful just by looking at it.

Such a special Peugeot cannot be found online.

Thinking of this, Barrios used Lin Tianwei's sculpture as an anchor and began to search for new information.

But after a moment, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He did find information related to the huge sculpture.

However, the information obtained was completely different from the information he just saw.

According to the description on the Internet, it was a farm called Tiger King Farm.

It is inhabited by a demon called Tiger King.

Slaving countless humans as tools of his brutal rule.

Work 22 hours a day.

He could only barely drink porridge and water like clear soup as food.

If you are in a bad mood, you may even be eaten as food by a passing tiger king.

This is a completely hellish place.

It's a completely different place than the paradise in Barrios' mind.

Barrios fell into deep self-doubt for a while.

Could it be that this is like a fraud base?

The purpose of live broadcasting on the Internet is to deceive people who do not know the truth.

As a tool man enslaved by the Tiger King.

chill.

The biting cold gnawed at Barrios' body, making him tremble.

Almost.

Just a little.

You will be deceived by the fraud base and become an enslaved tool.

Fortunately, I was resourceful and searched for relevant information on the Internet in advance.

Thinking of this, Barrios breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, there is no heaven in this world!
thought here.

He drank the rest of the mixed wine directly.

Then I lay on the bed and prepared to start today's rest.

But this time, he couldn't sleep.

The relaxed and carefree look of Steven and Eric.

And the ease that goes deep into the bone marrow cannot be faked.

Maybe it's not what you imagined.

A flash of realization flashed in Barrios's mind.

But for a moment, I felt lost again.

Regardless of whether the scene in Tiger King's farm is true or false, it actually has nothing to do with him.

He is just an extremely ordinary awakened person without any special powers.

How could he rely on his own strength to reach the infinitely distant Tiger King Farm in this crisis-ridden world?
if.

It would be great if I could have the ability to teleport.

He might be able to leave this real hell.

Go to your own paradise.

Thinking like this, Barrios fell into sleep.

But he didn't expect that his body had quietly changed!
