All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.
Chapter 710 Car Shop
Although he didn't care about the life and death of other creatures, Wang Zhifan suddenly had an idea and planned to do something tricky to disgust again the world's will that wanted to kill him.
Let's temporarily shift our focus to a place about ten kilometers away, where there is a small hemispherical igloo on the vast snow.
In the small igloo, the foxman Xiaobai held his little fox cub in his arms. Both foxes, big and small, were happily chewing on the frozen fish in their hands. Some inedible fish bones were discarded at the door of the igloo.
Suddenly, Xiaobai felt something, and his gaze shifted to the thickest fish bone in the snow at the door. He saw tiny, hard ice crystals quickly condensing on the surface of the fish bone, and making a very slight freezing sound, which made him feel very uneasy.
"Not good! This snowy area is really unsafe. Even during the day it suddenly became extremely cold! I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this time. We shouldn't have come here..."
From the inner thoughts of the fox man Xiaobai, we can know that he did not always live in the snowy area, but came here recently. But it is obvious that he is about to pay the price for his choice and freeze to death in the extremely cold snow and in the small snow house together with the little fox in his arms.
If the situation continues to develop like this, it will be just as Xiaobai thought. The temperature around here will drop too fast. Even though it and the little fox have long fur and are naturally more cold-resistant, they cannot withstand the great malice from God.
But just when the two foxes, big and small, were about to be frozen and condensed into one with the small igloo, a strange hawking voice suddenly came from the howling cold wind nearby, forcibly attracting their attention.
"Selling steamed buns! Selling steamed buns! Don't miss it if you pass by..."
The sudden hawking sound was so strange and inappropriate that the fox man Xiaobai, who felt his whole body was about to be frozen, immediately thought that he was hallucinating before freezing to death, and his mind automatically recalled the descriptions of the good old days by his elders.
It remembered that its elders had said that in the era before the ruthless natural disasters, all races living in this world were very prosperous. Among them were human traffickers who liked to sell delicious hot food. Later, the fox elders who suffered from hunger and cold would mention their delicacies from time to time, among which was a food called buns.
"If only I could eat some delicious buns before I die... It's a pity that Xiao Xiaobai is still very young. It shouldn't have ended up in this cruel world of ice and snow."
Xiaobai thought so in his heart about the hallucination that appeared in his ears. He hoped that the hallucination could really become reality. The only regret was that his young child was about to end his young life.
But at this moment, it suddenly felt its arms empty, and it quickly looked down, and found that its child, Xiao Xiaobai, had actually crawled out of its arms on its own and ran towards the door of the igloo on all fours!
"Xiao Xiaobai! Come back soon!"
For a moment, the fox man Xiaobai was panicked. He didn't understand why his young child could break free from his tight embrace and run out the door so fast, as if the extreme cold around him was fake.
However, no matter what, it was impossible for it to abandon its child. It quickly tried its best to move its almost frozen body and rushed out of the igloo.
According to the experience passed down by its elders, such behavior is very dangerous and it is likely to freeze to death outside the igloo. But for the sake of its children, it ignored all that and rushed straight into the howling cold wind. Then it saw a rather tall carriage passing by the door of its igloo, and Xiao Xiaobai had already run to the side of the carriage and squatted, shouting excitedly to the people in the carriage.
For a moment, the fox man Xiaobai was surprised by this scene. He thought to himself:
"Carriage? Why would there be a carriage in the snowy area? No! How do I know this is a carriage? I must be hallucinating!"
Although he couldn't believe what he saw, Xiaobai still walked towards the carriage in front of him, wanting to see what was going on. After all, this was the first time in his life that he had seen the carriage mentioned by his elders.
About five meters away, a tall and majestic chestnut-red horse was seen paddling its front hooves in the snow with its head lowered, while two long streams of white air were emitted from its nostrils.
Behind the horse was a huge wooden carriage pulled by it. The carriage had a very large window. A middle-aged fat man with bare chest, wearing a thin cloth and a white headscarf stood in the window. In front of the fat man were several rows of steaming steamers stacked high. At this time, the fat man smiled and said to the little fox squatting outside the window and calling to him:
"Hey, kid, did you just say you wanted to eat steamed buns? Our store is offering a new customer discount, so I'll give you one for free! Go ahead!"
After saying that, the fat man deftly took out a bun that was larger than an adult's palm from the steamer in front of him and threw it to the little fox outside the window who was looking expectant.
For some reason, the little fox's body no longer felt the frozen sensation it had felt a while ago. It jumped up lightly and caught the bun, which was almost as big as its head, in its mouth. Then it held the bun in its arms and started eating it on the spot.
During the process, the big bun emitted white hot steam that was visible to the naked eye, causing the snow around the little fox to show signs of melting slightly, which was very warm.
"Xiao Xiaobai!"
The fox man Xiaobai just woke up from his dream and reacted at this time. He rushed towards the little fox and wanted to stop it from eating food of unknown origin. But when he approached the little fox and felt the strong heat emitted by the buns and the little fox's squinting expression of intoxication in the deliciousness, he stopped.
The little fox also felt the arrival of its mother. It turned around and called out happily to Xiaobai, inviting him to eat the steaming and warm buns together.
Just at this moment, the middle-aged fat man in the carriage window next to him noticed Xiao Bai's arrival and also extended a warm invitation to it:
"My dear customer, our big meat buns are really delicious. Would you like to have one? It's free for new customers!"
Hearing the tempting voice coming from the car window and the heat and meaty aroma emitting from the big bun that the little fox beside him was holding towards him with both hands, the fox man Xiaobai swallowed his saliva immediately. Although he had just eaten half a frozen fish not long ago, for him who had experienced a hard life for a long time, the concept of not being able to eat more after being full absolutely did not exist.
Xiao Bai, unable to bear the multiple temptations, decisively let down his guard. He first patted the little fox and let it eat the big meat bun in his hand. Then he walked to the carriage window and said to the middle-aged fat man with bare chest and white headscarf:
"Give me one...please."
"okay!"
After hearing this, the fat man quickly took out a large meat bun from the hot steamer and handed it to the fox man Xiaobai outside the wooden window. If it were in other places, such high-temperature food would definitely cause the guests to be burned, but in this extremely cold snowy area where almost everything is frozen, the hotter the food, the more people like it, especially since its size is very suitable for holding in both hands, constantly providing enough heat to transmit to the whole body.
"Hmm... so hot... so delicious... so hot..."
Holding the steaming big meat bun in both hands, Xiaobai was first surprised by how hot it was right out of the steamer. Then he couldn't help but put the scalding bun close to his chest and started to eat it. After a few seconds of exclaiming at the deliciousness, he felt his whole body full of heat, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead in the harsh ice and snow around him.
Not only was the big fox sweating from the heat, but the little foxes next to it were also sweating from eating. It was a complete reversal compared to the situation not long ago when they were almost frozen to death.
The middle-aged fat man at the window of the carriage saw this and immediately said cheerfully:
"My two guests, after eating the big meat buns in our store, you don't feel cold at all now, right? I told you that the weather here is a paper tiger! It can't stand a single blow in front of my warm food! Hahaha!"
As this person spoke these words almost boastfully, the temperature of the surrounding environment suddenly dropped rapidly again. Sharp icicles grew at an exaggerated speed on the frozen snow, as if the God in charge of the severe cold was angered and wanted to punish someone who provoked him.
But unfortunately, there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the huge carriage pulled by the maroon divine horse. No matter how harsh the temperature outside became, or how ferocious the sharp and dense icicles became, the carriage was surrounded by ordinary snow and was not affected at all.
The fox man Xiaobai quickly noticed this shocking situation. He looked up at the shirtless, ordinary-looking middle-aged fat man standing in the carriage window. For the first time, he realized that this man must be the legendary master that the elders had mentioned, the kind of master who dared to go against the crazy God.
Being quite quick-witted, it immediately placed the large meat bun that it had not yet finished eating beside it, then fell to its knees on the snow with a plop, and shouted to the middle-aged fat man in the car window:
"Xiaobai from the Fox Clan thanks you for saving my life! Xiaobai has nothing else to ask for now, I just hope you can take my poor child in and let it serve you for the rest of its life..."
As he spoke, Xiaobai kept kowtowing, hoping to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to entrust his child to the legendary master. For this, he was willing to give everything.
The middle-aged fat man in the car window was obviously not expecting things to develop like this. He was actually Wang Zhifan in disguise. In Wang Zhifan's idea, he was going to severely humiliate the world will that wanted to freeze him to death by sheltering two foxes, so as to achieve a strong mocking effect, that is, to show the world will that not only can it not do anything to him, but also can't stop him from sheltering others, even if they are very weak.
But he was somewhat caught off guard when the fox man in front of him suddenly knelt down and begged him to take in his child. You know, this carriage shop selling buns was just something he created on a whim using his chaos distortion ability. Even the horse pulling the carriage was a temporary guest appearance by his exclusive mount, Red Deer, and he had no plans to run it for a long time.
However, everything is subject to change. Facing the fox man outside the car window who kept kowtowing and begging, an idea flashed in his mind again, and he thought:
"Why don't I continue to run this car shop? Anyway, my plan is to disgust the world's will here, so using my power to help more natives and let them live happily in the apocalypse, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to give that evil existence a slap in the face?"
As soon as this idea came to him, he felt that it was a good idea, and immediately said to the fox man who was still kowtowing in the snow outside the window:
"Stop! I can agree to your request! My car shop is in need of helpers, so you can take over, and you can bring your child along. Anyway, my car is big, there is a lot of space, and there is no shortage of food..."
Hearing the reply, the fox man Xiaobai outside the carriage window was suddenly very happy, but he did not stand up. Instead, he reached out and pulled the little fox who was still obsessed with eating meat buns to his side, and asked it to kowtow to the person in the window.
"Thank you so much for taking us in! Xiao Xiaobai, stop eating and kowtow to you!"
In this way, after some twists and turns, the carriage shop that Wang Zhifan disguised as had two more helpers. Strictly speaking, there was a regular worker and a child worker. The regular worker was the fox man Xiaobai, and the child worker was its child Xiaoxiaobai.
Needless to say, Xiaobai is very happy to work in the car shop. Its child Xiaoxiaobai originally had no such obligation, but Xiaobai felt that Xiaobai was too greedy and it was embarrassing for the owner to keep him for nothing, so he took the initiative to ask Xiaoxiaobai to help with things, such as squatting on the window as a mascot.
Wang Zhifan didn't care about Xiaobai's request. He felt that Xiaobai looked cute enough to be used as a logo for the car shop. What he was concerned about was the next step for the car shop, so he asked Xiaobai:
"Xiao Bai, do you know where there are a lot of people around here? My car shop needs to be in a crowded place, otherwise there will be no business and I will definitely not be able to make a living."
"Boss, I know! There is a city deep in the snowy land. I came to the snowy land just for it! Just keep going forward and find a big valley!"
Boss is what Wang Zhifan asked the fox man Xiaobai to call him. When Xiaobai heard him say that he couldn't survive without business, which meant he would be abandoned by his big backer, he was naturally more anxious than him. He immediately told this world where there were living gathering places and guided his carriage there, without keeping it secret as he did when he met Wang Zhifan at the ice lake.
In fact, even without Xiaobai's help, Wang Zhifan could find a place where people live in this world, but with the help of Xiaobai, a local, his car shop would run more smoothly, needless to say that he would have to explore and handle everything by himself.
At this time, Xiaobai asked a question he was thinking about.
"Boss, when we get to Snow City, what do you want the people there to exchange for food? There is definitely a shortage of food over there, but I wonder if they have what you need."
"Then do you know what's in Snow City?"
"I heard there are a lot of good things there, all of which are treasures created by many masters before the disaster struck. It is thanks to these treasures that Snow City has been able to resist disasters and attract people from afar to enter the Snow Region. I came to the Snow Region because I wanted to live there."
"A treasure that can resist disasters? Could it be a way out for players in the dungeon? But I don't need such a thing. I'd better wait and see when I get there. If there is universal currency, I'll take universal currency."
After listening to Xiaobai's introduction, Wang Zhifan thought to himself. (End of this chapter)
