Chapter 1299 Thieves will become bald sooner or later


    Most of the books about that legendary figure were recycled at high prices, but because they were not banned books, you could still find them if you really wanted to. Xu Huo passed through a small city, randomly picked an old bookstore, and found two books in the corner of the bookshelf.


    The shop owner is relatively young. When he saw the book in his hand, he couldn’t help but smile: “Almost no one reads this kind of old-fashioned hero-biographical novel nowadays.”


    It took too long for Zone 001 to enter the game, and in recent years, the peace has become too much, especially in small cities where no one visits. Therefore, many people have forgotten the period when they first entered the game, without being reminded, or even There will be young people who specialize in understanding that tragic history, and the cultural classes in Area 001 do not teach this. Therefore, even though the book contains a lot of information about the experiences of Area 001 at the beginning of the game, it cannot resonate with many people. Many people just pass it by. brain.


    “What’s the popular routine now?” Xu Huo asked casually.


    The boss pointed to the bookshelf next to the checkout counter, "The doomsday type usually starts with the devastating attack on Area 001. Do you want to read it?"


    Xu Huo expressed no interest.


    The boss is also a senior novel lover. He took out a novel of the same type from the bag at his feet, "This is a novel I published at my own expense. I give it to you. After reading it, remember to leave me a review on the collection terminal. Address It’s printed in the book.”


    After speaking, he enthusiastically gave him a few fruits and sent him out with a smile on his face.


    ? Xu Huo was forced to accept the buy one, get two free, get back on the aircraft and continue moving, arriving in the city where the dealer lives in the afternoon.


    Different from the excessive excitement of Card City and the extreme depression of Flower City, Xiangshan City is a quite free city. Judging from the shops and pedestrians on the street, the pace of life here is also very slow. It is also an agricultural planting city, with the name " People doing business can be seen everywhere with signs saying “pick your own food” and “pick it now and sell it now”.


    Correspondingly, the number of flight monitors is also much smaller, but it can basically take care of the main parts of the city.


    ?But the first thing Xu Huo felt was the rays released by different spiritual powers scattered throughout the city.


    He was wearing a cube space, so when he stepped into the city boundary, he naturally saw rays in the distance. Of course, the rays of spiritual power are different from space rays. What he saw was actually an instrument. After discovering the instrument, he used his spiritual power to look at it again. After checking it once, I discovered that there were traces of spiritual power on those instruments.


    There are props that can contain spiritual power, but they are all actually operated by players. Xu Huo has never seen such an instrument that does not require human control before.


    ?At the same time, he also knew that those instruments detected his spiritual power, so he took back his power after just touching it.


    “Young man, would you like some fresh vegetables?” A rosy-faced old lady came over to talk to her. “They are absolutely fresh and have no pesticides. Just wash them and eat them.”


    Xu Huo bought two white melons that can be eaten raw. He tasted them and nodded, "It''s really delicious than other places. Do you have any tips?"


    "What''s the secret? This place is good." The old lady said with a smile: "Look at the mountains and rivers around us. They are all unpolluted. Weapons factories, craft workshops, and mining companies are all far away. Our place is far away, and even the air is better than other places.”


    There are already very large air purifiers in District 001, which can purify the air in a city in a very short time. However, the cost is high, and only a few cities with good economies can afford them.


    Xu Huo looked in the direction pointed by the old lady and said, "It is indeed a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."


    "The welfare is good, and he takes good care of us old people. If I hadn''t been too busy, I wouldn''t have to do business!" The old lady seemed to like him very much, and she held his hand and wanted to chat for a long time. Xu Huo listened to her for a while before asking about the banker.


    “So you came here for the book,” the old lady slapped her leg. “You’re late. The person who wrote the book has been dead for several years. I heard that his son is also a writer. You can do the same with him.”


    “You follow this road to the end, and then turn right. The houses at the foot of the mountain belong to their families, and there is an orchard inside. Now is the season for fruit harvest. You are in good time!”


    ??The bookmaker is easy to find, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there. You can see the roof from a distance through a fruit forest.


    There is no anti-theft fence in the orchard. Many children passing by will get in and pick two fruits to eat. When Xu Huo walked into the orchard, a child with a shaved head was directing a group of "little brothers" to pick fruits, and he kept teaching them the experience of picking fruits. The two met. , the bald child glared at Xu Huo, and quickly ran away with the other children.


    ?Xu Huo smiled, picked up the fruit they accidentally dropped on the ground and threw it over, "Your stuff fell."


    ?He didn’t use any force, but the overgrown fruit was a bit heavy. When the bald child caught it, he leaned back, stumbled, and sat down on his butt.


    The children around him all started laughing. The little bald man turned red with anger. He stared at Xu Huo with feigned ferocity and cursed: "You bald man!"


    Xu Huo touched his thick hair and said funnyly: "You are balder than me."


    "Fool, I''m not bald!" The little bald head jumped up, "I shaved it off, but you are the bald one! Thieves will be bald sooner or later!"


    "I''m not here to pick fruit." Xu Huo took out the book in his backpack, "I''m here to visit the author of this book. Do you know him?"


    There was a photo of the author at the end of the book. The little bald man took one look at it and ran away, followed by a group of children of the same age. They ran and shouted, and the fruits in their arms dropped, causing the adults passing by to chase and scold him.


    After the children ran away, Xu Huo put away his books and walked deeper into the orchard.


    ?This is not an ordinary fruit forest. From the outside, the area of ??the fruit forest is not large, but he walked inside for at least ten minutes, but still did not reach the dealer''s residence. Looking from the original place, the house still seemed so far away.


    ?This fruit forest has special interference, including props, characteristics, and evolutionary powers.


    Xu Huo ventured out into the spiritual world, and after opening the spiritual portal several times, he successfully moved forward a certain distance. However, this did not mean that he could reach the destination in one step, or walk straight across, because this fruit forest was under the interference of spiritual power. , what the eyes see may not be real, so he may not be walking in the right direction just now.


    ?However, there is a relatively obvious contrast in strength and weakness among the interference forces, and those weak places seem to be connected into a channel.


    It didn’t seem like a long journey, and he walked for nearly half an hour.


    ?Going out from the orchard is the farmer''s residence, a small connected yard, where a man of about thirty is cleaning fallen leaves. I was a little surprised when I saw him.
