Chapter 663 Monster Tide
"Take this and go to No. 119, the first floor of the underground." The commander hesitated for a moment, and then gave Cook a piece of paper with a name written on it, Amway.
"Thank you." Cook said thank you, and took Li Ji and others into the settlement.
Because he wore a Level 3 resident certificate, Cook and others were not checked again in the following checkpoints, while those who wore temporary resident status were likely to be spot checked several times, especially some civilian women, who were searched a lot.
The guards here no matter what kind of person you are, because these guards themselves represent this settlement. As long as they are not high-level residents within the settlement, ordinary people in this world are not worth the value of a steamed bun.
The reason why Cook and others received this treatment is because of the Level 3 resident certificate. The Level 3 resident certificate can buy various supplies in the settlement. Different resident certificates have different supplies. The Level 8 and Level 9 resident certificates can even buy some ordinary steamed buns and water. That's all, even accommodation can only accommodate the lowest room.
This is actually another rationing system. The more you pay to your settlements, the more authority you get. This is like paying taxes in peacetime. The more taxes you pay, the greater the protection you receive. If a company that pays 10 billion yuan in taxes annually, it is not easy to meet the governor, at least it can be realized. However, for a company that pays tens of thousands of taxes, the township chief will not take care of you.
So in Cook's opinion, this resident certificate is actually a kind of affirmation of your ability. Take an ordinary civilian as an example. Give him a Level 3 resident certificate. Does he have so much wealth to consume high-end things? It definitely doesn't.
The third-level resident certificate is already considered a very high-level resident certificate. In addition to permanent resident certificates, combatants in the settlement, and senior management are permanent resident certificates, and resident certificates are necessary technicians in the settlement. The treatment they enjoy is similar to that of permanent resident, but they do not have certain privileges. Second-level technicians, or those who have made important contributions to the settlement, can reach level 3 just by entering the team. Cook’s team dare not say that they are first, at least they are very awesome.
The huge part of the commercial activities in this settlement are in the underground world. The underground world is actually the original civil defense system, and it is also the place where the grain warehouse consumes grain. This place has been renovated into various small rooms, shops, rented places, and permanent purchases, and the sizes are different.
"Uncle, uncle, come and have fun."
"Oh, handsome guy, come here and have fun."
"Cigarettes, cigarettes, good cigarettes."
"All kinds of second-hand equipment should not be missed by passing by."
“Repair all kinds of electronic equipment, cheap and good quality.”
The civil defense facilities are not very spacious, and the temporary buildings built occupy most of the area. The houses here are welded directly by steel plates. On the one hand, it increases the usable area, and on the other hand, it is solid. What surprised Cook was that there were huge lighting facilities on the underground floor.
The woman's voice came from the simple room and the man's teasing. There was no way, the sound insulation measures of the steel plate were too bad, and Cook also saw that there was a place where there were men queuing up.
In just over ten seconds, Cook saw two men coming out, and then another man picked up a man in line.
"Damn." Cook was speechless.
After walking for a while, the shops here look more normal, and there is also a security booth-like facility out of the passage, with guards guarding it.
The shops here are numbered, and the residences built just now are not numbered.
"Do you have any requirements?" Cook and others looked at the sign of the shop management office and realized that the person the commander was looking for was actually these people.
"We need a shop, it doesn't matter if it's bigger," Cook said directly.
"The ones without names on it are vacant, with different areas, different locations, and different prices." The person opposite Cook took out a simple map. Cook looked at it and found that the civil defense project actually had seven or eight large spaces. It seemed that the strategic reserve library was vacant and absolutely spacious.
"The area is large, the location is good." Cook took out a small bag of candies, with a dim word "Happy" on it. The candy cubes in the bag had been deformed and handed directly to the person opposite.
"Candy, good stuff. The best bunks are located in No. 12, 18 and No. 36 in District D. There is a passage for permanent residents to enter in Area D. It is also a passage for high-level residents to come and go to the ground. Of course, you can also walk to the entrance there." The person on the opposite side did not say his name. After putting away the candy, he introduced three bunks to Cook and others.
"No. 12." Cook certainly did not think that he could get a store by giving the commander a low-level crystal core. All Cook needed was relationship.
"On the 12th District D, the monthly rent is fifty gold coins, or materials of the same value. All costs are included in it, and the use of water is not restricted." The person opposite gave such a number.
This number is definitely a big number, but this shop is about 40 square meters, and it is made of steel plates mixed with concrete walls. It seems to be something like a certain storage warehouse, and the water is not restricted. You should know that the water used here is purified water. This kind of bottle of water costs ten copper coins outside, which is the water of plastic bottles.
"First three months." Cook didn't think about it at all, and directly gave three level five monster crystal cores. The price of level five monster crystal cores is almost eighty or ninety gold coins per level five. Cook gave three, which means giving the person in front of him the benefits.
"My name is Xia Ye. If someone causes trouble, report my name." Seeing Cook take out three level five crystal cores, Xia Ye finally faced Cook and said to Cook, of course, the crystal cores were also collected.
Then we went through the rental procedures. It can be seen that the summer night has a good status here, and we also asked a guard to come and take Cook and his group to the store rented by Cook.
Looking at the two two-meter-wide doors and ten-meter-long warehouses, Cook knew that it was a warehouse that stored some special materials. The walls of the warehouse were fifty centimeters thick, and you could see the steel plate with a thumb-thickness in the middle of the concrete.
"The profiteer." Seeing that it was empty inside, Li Ji cursed in a low voice. In Li Ji's opinion, this is simply a luxury, but renting a store also has an advantage, and there is no need to pay any fees. Just like the cleaning fee, water fee, and electricity fee mentioned earlier in Xia Ye. As long as you are in this settlement, except for renting a store and permanent residents, no charges will be charged for other senior technicians, let alone those who want to sleep peacefully here, they also need to pay. The hotel is not responsible for these things.
The shops on both sides of Cook's shop were indeed rented, but they were not shops, but like living places. Cook even saw three women, two elderly people, and two children in the next house, which was obviously a family.
Obviously, Cook and others don’t need the bed, but if you sell the medicine, you must have experimental supplies, and counters and other things. After Li Ji gave the woman next door a bag of candy, he knew everything. Most of the families living here are the families of senior superpowers. These families are very unsafe in other places, but in this D area, it is very safe. For a senior superpowers, it is not difficult to get fifty gold coins a month, and then maintain the minimum living level of the family. Moreover, senior adventurers are basically in a small team, and the several adjacent shops next to Cook are all families of an adventure team.
Of course, there are also real business people, imitation electromagnetic guns, projectiles, electromagnetic lightning, protective clothing and other things, as well as individual combat rations. Although it has been thirty years, it can still support the high consumption of advanced adventurers. In addition, there are various cold weapons made of special metals, as well as armor and other things.
Cook also saw a pharmacy store with various potions for sale, most of which are drugs to cure trauma. However, now this is only useful for mutant creatures. Mutational creatures basically do not infect humans, but monsters are basically 100% infected, and then there are some potions that improve physical fitness. Of course, the effect is almost minimal, but the price, such as improving physical fitness, is at least one gold coin and one pill.
As long as Cook moves his mental power, he will know the effect of the pill. According to Cook's calculation, this thing has effect, but it is the effect of strengthening the body. It is basically impossible to strengthen the body.
There are more various poisons, including chemicals, and other plant refinings, and the prices are also different.
Li Ji and others followed Cook to the ground. On the ground, there was a large amount of waste goods piled up. Cook and others bought the counter, two large sofas, and all kinds of broken things after spending less than one gold coin.
There are also some glassware, which are mainly small manual tools for experiments. Because the shop only provides lighting and does not provide sockets, there is no need to think about power tools.
Cook and others had good physical fitness, so they just got the things back and started to place them.
Li Ji and others helped Cook, plant sorting, grinding, purification and other simple processes. Purification is mainly done by heating.
"Is this the potion to increase physical fitness?" Li Ji and others looked at Cook purified various solutions that he and others had directly blended out according to the ratio, and asked in surprise.
"That's it." Cook casually dropped two drops of the solution that had decomposed the crystal nucleus into the flask, and then slowly shook it. These two drops are the most important. Physical medicine is actually to slowly strengthen the body with the energy inside the crystal nucleus. The various medicines in the previous ones are just to help the human body absorb it.
"Oh no, the monster tide is coming." At this moment, a voice sounded, and Li Ji and others were stunned when they heard the news.
