505. Chapter Five Hundred and Five Shangguan Jianye
"Say, what's the matter?" Han Xinghai stared at the black shadow with sharp eyes, his limbs tense, as if a beast ready to burst into hurting people at any time, full of endless tension.
"Are you going to enter the dungeon? I have a way!" the black shadow asked carefully.
Entering the dungeon! Han Xinghai and Prince Harry looked at each other. They didn't expect that a good thing would come to their door. You know, they were racking their brains to think about how to enter the dungeon.
"Speak from above." Han Xinghai stood up and stretched out a long piece of wood on the platform, forming a bridge.
"Hehe, thank you, thank you!" The black shadow walked up with a smile, with a smug laughter.
After the black shadow walked onto the platform, Han Xinghai and Prince Harry saw clearly that this was a middle-aged man wearing a hood and a backpack, looking sneaky and deer-headed, giving people the feeling of being a good person at first glance.
The middle-aged man introduced himself as Shangguan and his name was Jianye.
"Please sit down." After the three of them politely, Han Xinghai sat cross-legged on the mat first and summoned a bottle of red currant juice to hand it to Shangguan Jianye.
"Do you two little brothers don't look like a good person when you see me... Wow, this is red currant juice!" Shangguan Jianye put down his backpack, opened the bottle of red currant juice and took a sip, and cheered in surprise.
Han Xinghai did not speak out, his eyes staring at Shangguan Jianye from beginning to end. His first impression of this person was actually not very bad, because although this person looked a little bit muffled, he was happy and was not a person who was good at disguising.
"Do you still have red currant juice?" Shangguan Jianye looked at Han Xinghai with a mouth-watering look on his face.
“Yes, but not many.”
"Can you sell me some..."
"I said that there is not much." Han Xinghai frowned.
"I'll buy one bottle, one bottle." Shangguan Jianye begged humbly.
"I want to know the reason." Han Xinghai said lightly.
"Ah...this...ah...ah...ah...my brother especially likes drinking red currant juice, but our Back Garden Star has lost contact with the outside world for more than half a year. The supply channels for red currant juice have been cut off. He is obsessed with this drink all day long... Let's do this, I will buy a bottle, five hundred imperial coins...no, one thousand imperial coins." Shangguan Jianye said pitifully.
"One thousand..." Han Xinghai was stunned. He did not expect that Shangguan Jianye would be willing to spend a thousand imperial coins to buy a bottle of red currant juice. You know, he remembered that when the red currant juice was first promoted on the market, it was twenty imperial coins per bottle. In other words, Shangguan Jianye was willing to spend fifty times the price to buy a bottle of red currant juice. This was really incredible.
"Haha, I guess the two have not contacted the outside world for a long time, so I won't hide it from them. Now, red currant juice is the most popular bottled beverage in the seven major star fields. The price has soared from the twenty imperial coins at the beginning to 200 imperial coins per bottle. Because the Back Garden Star has been out of stock, the price has soared to 500, but it has no market value. If there is stock, some people are willing to buy it several times the price..."
"Are you addicted?" Han Xinghai's heart tightened. He was most worried about the addictive nature of red currant juice.
"Haha, maybe! But it's okay not to drink it. I just want to drink it, I always worry about this unique taste. Also, many scientists in the seven major star fields have studied the ingredients of red currant juice, believing that red currant juice has no side effects besides anti-fatigue. It is safer than traditional anti-fatigue drinks and can also improve the body's immunity. Moreover, it is suitable for both young and old, and there is no age limit. It is very popular... By the way, it is said that after drinking red currant juice, some people drove a mecha to fight with interstellar brigade army ants for several hours without being tired, so it is especially popular with soldiers. Now, red currant juice is a must-have drink for soldiers."
“…”
Han Xinghai opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't speak. He didn't expect that the red currant juice he didn't dare to drink had become the most popular drink in the seven major star fields. Han Xinghai remembered that the red currant juice drink was developed by the company established by Fatty and Ran Mengguo, and I don't know how the company's business is now.
"Sell me one bottle, and I will ask for one bottle...or, I will give...I will give one thousand and two imperial coins." Shangguan Jianye gritted his teeth and said.
"No need to buy it, I'll give you a bottle." Han Xinghai summoned a bottle of red currant juice to give it to Shangguan Jianye.
"Send me... Thank you, thank you!" Shangguan Jianye was stunned at first, then put down the red currant juice bottle in his hand with excitement, then took the red currant juice from Han Xinghai's hand with both hands, and carefully placed it in the backpack beside him.
"By the way, Moon City has contacted the outside world now, why not buy red currant juice?" Han Xinghai asked casually. His purpose was to inquire about the dungeon.
"You little brother, you don't know that red currant juice is a shortage of supplies now. Many military troops on planets purchase red currant juice as military supplies for drinking by soldiers on the frontline. It is said that red currant is a fruit unique to the barbaric star that has only been discovered recently. The output is very limited and difficult to collect. Now manufacturers are in short supply and take the high-end route, and they are not able to buy it with money. Besides, the dungeons now give priority to ensuring the supply of residents' daily necessities, so naturally they will not supply luxury drinks like red currant juice... In fact, even if there is goods, ordinary people like us can only drink a bottle occasionally to satisfy their cravings." Shangguan Jianye said with a self-deprecating look on his face.
"Okay, let's talk about the serious business. We are going to enter the dungeon, you can offer a price!" Han Xinghai said straight to the point.
"All of you three go in?" Shangguan Jianye asked.
"How do you know we are three?" Prince Harry, who had been silent, looked like a knife, because Princess Helen has not shown up since the tent was built. In theory, this person should not know her existence.
"Don't be nervous, I have a lot of eyeliners here. If new refugees appear, they will tell me the first time, and then I will pay them according to the reward of ten yuan of imperial coins per person." Shangguan Jianye laughed.
"Tell me, how much does it cost?" Han Xinghai.
"It's easy to discuss money, but you must know a few additional conditions before we talk about money."
"We meet the conditions?" Han Xinghai frowned.
"Yes."
"explain."
"First, you must have a true identity proof; secondly, you must obey the arrangements after you enter; finally, after entering the dungeon, everything that happens has nothing to do with me."
"In other words, there will be danger after entering the dungeon?" Han Xinghai stared at Shangguan Jianye with deep eyes.
"I don't know. I'm only responsible for getting people in. What will happen after entering is not something I can control. Also, you don't have to ask me what's going on in the dungeon, because I've never been outside since the Star Brigade Army Ant Disaster, and I don't know anything about the situation inside."
"Why don't you go in?" Han Xinghai asked.
"I'm not qualified to enter. The dungeon is only a person who is thirty years old, and I am older than..." Shangguan Jianye took a sip of the red currant juice in his hand and stopped talking.
"What do you want to say?" Han Xinghai's eyes seemed to penetrate Shangguan Jianye's internal organs.
"Okay... For the sake of giving me a bottle of red currant juice, I'll just say that I always think staying outside is better than entering the dungeon, so I don't allow my brother to enter the dungeon." Shangguan Jianye sighed a long time ago.
"But you still let us in."
"Haha, no matter what happens inside, there will always be people who want to go in. I just earn some living expenses. Whether to go in or not is up to you to decide. Usually, I will also explain the risks in it to customers. Of course, under normal circumstances, I will not mention that I will not let my younger brother go in." Shangguan Jianye grinned.
"Well, I understand. Tell me, how much does it cost? We can decide now." Han Xinghai nodded. He didn't want to waste time. He just wanted to arrive at a planet with interstellar flights as soon as possible.
"One hundred thousand per person."
"Okay, you can arrange it now."
"Now……"
"Yes, it's now!"
"This is the time right now, at least you have to wait until tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow afternoon. How to pay the money?!" Han Xinghai asked.
"Don't worry about the money. It's time to give it to you before you go in. Okay, I'll leave first. You can consider all night. I'll come to you tomorrow afternoon." Shangguan Jianye got up, picked up the backpack beside him, touched the red currant juice bottle inside, and carefully put it on his shoulder.
"See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
...
Han Xinghai and Prince Harry stood up and watched Shangguan Jianye disappear into the dense tent, then they sucked the wood in front of the bridge.
"Child, wait a moment." The voice of the old man with the child came from the tent opposite.
"Um?"
"Can I come over and talk to you?"
"Yes." Han Xinghai thought for a while and put down the wood in his hand.
"Thanks."
In the night, a hunched figure walked over carefully on the wood. Looking at the shaking body, Han Xinghai was afraid that he would fall down and was ready to rescue him at any time. Fortunately, the wood was only a few meters away, and the old man came over safely.
"Please sit down." Han Xinghai signaled the old man to sit down.
"Thank you." The old man's body was very stiff. He first knelt on the ground with both knees, then sat sideways on the mat and sat cross-legged.
"Drink something." Han Xinghai handed the old man a bottle of red currant juice.
"Ah... no need... this is too expensive." The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
"Drink."
"Really, no! Thank you."
The old man firmly refused the red currant juice handed to him by Han Xinghai. Han Xinghai was too lazy to force himself and took back the red currant juice in his hand.
"Two guys, have you decided to enter the dungeon?" the old man asked.
Han Xinghai nodded. In fact, he knew that the old man had been eavesdropping. Of course, he didn't take it seriously, because he could see that Shangguan Jianye didn't care about being eavesdropped, which means that spending money to enter the dungeon was already an open secret in the refugee camp.
