The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 79: Fish for Rice, and then a Lottery
"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the door of room 3201.

Yang Mei quickly stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

She quickly put on her clothes and ran out of the bedroom.

Liang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he just let her go.

Arriving in the living room, Yangmei breathed a sigh of relief.

There was another knock on the door, and she said quickly, "I'm coming."

She hurriedly put on her clothes, fixed her hair, and walked to the door.

He took a look through the peephole, then opened the door and said, "Ding Yan, you're here?"

Ding Yan saw Yang Mei and smiled. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly looked at Yang Mei's face and asked in confusion, "Yang Mei, what's wrong with your mouth?"

"Huh? Wha...what?"

Yangmei suddenly panicked and quickly covered her mouth.

Ding Yan was a little surprised and said, "Your mouth is very red and a little swollen."

Yang Mei quickly turned around and said with her back to her: "Oh, oh, I'm...trying new dishes...I have a bottle of chili sauce, I'm...trying dishes."

Ding Yan suddenly realized and said, "Be careful. You should eat less chili peppers in summer. It's easy to get angry."

Then, she said, "I don't have anything to do. I just want to ask Liang Yuan, when will we leave for Unit 2?"

Yang Mei hurriedly said, "Little brother, little brother, Ding Yan is looking for you."

Liang Yuan heard the noise outside and walked out of the bedroom.

Ding Yan was stunned when she saw him with his upper body naked.

Then she thought of Yangmei's slightly swollen lips, and her pretty face turned red instantly.

She glared at Liang Yuan fiercely, then turned and left.

Liang Yuan was stunned and asked curiously: "No, why did you leave?"

Yang Mei quickly turned around and heard a bang. The door of 3202 opposite had been closed.

Her pretty face immediately turned red, she turned her head and stamped her feet, panicking, "It's over, it's over, she's found out."

Liang Yuan was confused: "What did you see?"

Yang Mei couldn't help but look at him angrily and said, "Look at my mouth... um..."

Before he could finish, Liang Yuan lowered his head to stop him.

But this time it didn't last more than a few seconds, and I heard another knock on the door.

Liang Yuan frowned, let go of the struggling Yang Mei, and took a look through the cat's eye.

However, the person who came outside was not Ding Yan from opposite side, but the owner of the unit he met before.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said to Yang Mei: "Go back to the bedroom first."

Yang Mei immediately understood what was going on and said quickly, "Be careful."

Having said that, he went back to his bedroom obediently.

Liang Yuan opened the door and looked at the two people standing at the door.

These two middle-aged men are the two owners of the 19th floor.

It seems that one is called Hu Weimin and the other is called Liu Danian.

"You two are looking for me?"

Hu Weimin quickly laughed and said, "Mr. Liang, is it true what you said before about exchanging fish for food?"

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Of course it's true, what, did you get the fish?"

Hu Weimin nodded quickly and said, "We just went to the first floor to fish. We were lucky and caught three old willows."

Liu Danian immediately raised his right hand, in which he held a bucket.

In the bucket, there are three mutant sardines jumping around.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Three, they are quite big."

Liu Danian asked nervously, "Mr. Liang, what can you buy with these three pieces?"

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to change snacks or staple food?"

Liu Danian asked quickly: "How do you change snacks? How do you change staple food?"

Liang Yuan said: "There are a lot of snacks, instant noodles, chicken feet, melon seeds, chocolate, waffles, wafer biscuits, etc. I also have drinks here. One fish can only be exchanged for two packs of snacks."

"As for staple food, there is rice, flour, red beans, sorghum rice, and cornmeal. If you change to rice and flour, five fish can only be exchanged for one measuring cup."

"The other ten fish for one measuring cup."

One measuring cup of rice can cook a lot of rice, which is enough for a family of three to eat.

As for miscellaneous grains, they are precious.

Liang Yuan didn't find much in Liu Erlong's supplies.

Those grains are not like rice and flour, which are packed in large bags of ten or twenty kilograms.

Instead, they come in cans or small bags.

The quantity is scarce, so the price is of course more expensive.

Hu Weimin's face looked a little unhappy. He felt that the price was a bit too high.

Because if they eat fish, five fish can last them two days.

But if you change it to rice or flour, you can only eat one meal.

Liang Yuan was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said: "It is entirely voluntary whether to change or not, I won't force you."

"But I have to remind you that the rice and flour here are limited. The sooner you exchange them, the sooner you can get them. If you exchange them all at the end, you won't have any more when you want to exchange them."

Hu Weimin was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Yes, the fish in the flood can be caught at any time.

But the rice and flour in Liangyuan are non-renewable resources.

Eat a little less, then it will be less.

This thing is valuable because it is rare, so there is a reason why it is expensive.

Liu Danian, who was standing by, also realized what was happening. He quickly asked another question: "Are these fish counted by the piece? Not by the pound? If I catch a 10-pound fish or a 1-pound fish, are they the same?"

Liang Yuan smiled: "It's the same, as long as they are alive."

Liu Danian was stunned, and Hu Weimin next to him was even more shocked.

What is this thing called?
Who exchanges food not by weight?

Then I can keep the big ones for myself and exchange the small ones for food. Wouldn't that be a big profit?
Liang Yuan smiled, he didn't care about the size of the fish.

The bigger the fish, the higher the degree of variation.

What he needs are points, and one fish represents a certain number of points.

Quantity is naturally more important than weight.

"Do you want to change?" Liang Yuan asked directly when he saw that the two were still thinking.

Hu Weimin thought about it and looked at Liu Danian next to him.

Liu Danian nodded slightly, and Hu Weimin said, "We have two more at home. We will go back and get them. Please wait for us."

Liang Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Hu Weimin hurried downstairs to get the fish.

Liang Yuan smiled secretly in his heart. These two people were cautious enough. They were afraid that he would forcefully take their fish, so they only brought up three.

Naturally, he saw through this little trick at a glance.

But there is no way. In this environment, who dares to trust whom?

I haven't gained their trust yet, so it's normal for them to be wary of me.

As time goes by and the number of transactions increases, they will naturally come to trust themselves.

Liang Yuan was not in a hurry.

After a while, Hu Weimin ran up with a bucket containing two sea bass.

This sea bass is quite big, much bigger than the sardines in Liu Danian's hand.

No wonder he didn't bring it up for trade in the first place.

"Mr. Liang, look, can these five fish be exchanged for a cup of rice?" Hu Weimin asked quickly.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, wait."

He turned his head and shouted towards the bedroom: "Sister Mei, pour me a cup of rice."

Yang Mei came out in response and looked at the door curiously. She didn't ask any more questions, but went straight to the kitchen and poured a cup of rice as Liang Yuan instructed.

Liang Yuan looked at Hu Weimin and the other man and asked, "Do you have anything to pack?"

Hu Weimin quickly felt his body, but found nothing.

Liu Danian reacted quickly, and quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Just pour it into my clothes."

Liang Yuan smiled and fell directly on the other person's clothes.

Liu Danian held the cup of rice in his clothes, his face full of joy.

Hu Weimin also smiled: "Mr. Liang, thank you, thank you, you are really different from Liu Erlong." Liang Yuan smiled: "Just take it as a compliment, okay, I got the fish, go back, don't let others see it, and be careful on the road."

"Hey, thank you."

The two were very grateful and excitedly poured out the fish and went downstairs carrying the empty bucket.

Liang Yuan caught the fish into the kitchen and killed them one by one.

Soon the system prompt sounded.

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 7 points."

"Ding, you killed a mutant creature and earned 8 points."

……

The system's prompt sounds came one after another, all five fish were killed, and Liang Yuan earned a total of 42 points.

His expression became slightly serious: "The points of sardines and sea bass are higher than before."

"If the system gives points according to the mutation progress of the mutated creatures, doesn't it mean that in these few days, the mutation progress of sardines and sea bass has increased rapidly?"

This discovery made Liang Yuan feel heavy-hearted.

Such a progress of mutation frightened him.

You know, the higher the mutation progress, the more ferocious the mutated creatures tend to be.

This is true for Wang Yanmei and these mutated fish.

"It seems that we must build a raft as soon as possible."

Liang Yuan felt a sense of urgency. These mutated fish were becoming more and more powerful, and traveling would become more and more difficult.

He had to prepare the raft early so he could leave the building earlier.

Now it seems that everyone is hiding in the building, away from the sea, and is quite safe.

But this is a boiling frog, they can't stay in the building forever.

The supplies here are limited and will run out sooner or later, so we will have to leave.

But what had the mutated fish in the sea become by then?
Can they still leave safely?
Liang Yuan doesn't want to gamble.

Moreover, the heavy rain outside shows no sign of stopping and the water level will continue to rise.

What if the water level rises to the 32nd floor?
By then they won't even have a place to stand.

“We must leave!”

He took a deep breath and suppressed his worry.

At this time, Yang Mei walked into the kitchen and saw him killing fish. She hurriedly said, "Little brother, just let me do it. Leave the kitchen matters to me."

She trotted over and snatched the kitchen knife from Liang Yuan's hand.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "These mutant fish are very ferocious and have sharp teeth. Ordinary people can easily get bitten if they get close to them."

Yang Mei couldn't help showing a trace of fear and said, "That's right, these fish were slapped a few times just now, but they are still alive."

Liang Yuan said, "In the future, if someone brings fish to exchange for food, leave the fish for me to kill. After I'm done, you can deal with it."

When Yangmei heard this, she felt suddenly happy.

I am such a good man. He knows how to be warm and considerate. He is caring about himself and is afraid that he will be hurt by the fish.

She couldn't help but smile and said sweetly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Will you all listen to me?" Liang Yuan suddenly laughed.

Yang Mei said naturally: "Of course, I will listen to you."

"Then in bed from now on, I want to hear you call me something else."

"Ah?" Yang Mei was stunned: "Call...what?"

"Call me husband, call me dad."

"Ah, you... you're annoying..."

After they played around for a while, Yang Mei was so amused by him that she was at a loss as to what to do and her pretty face turned red.

She hurriedly pushed Liang Yuan out of the kitchen, saying that he was too much of a nuisance here.

Liang Yuan smiled, patted her plump buttocks, and left the kitchen.

He returned to the living room and opened the system panel.

Host: Liang Yuan

Constitution: 0.8
Power: 2.9
Agility: 0.8
Spirit: 1.7
Mutation Progress: 3%
Points: 98
Lottery items: Gasoline*4, Glock 17...

He first took a look at the points. The total points were almost 100 points. He was a little envious of the mutant strawberries and free attributes on the 100-point lottery plate, and had an urge to participate in the lottery.

But he held himself back.

"First, draw the supplies. There will definitely be a lot of people who will come to exchange fish for supplies. We must prepare enough supplies."

"As you get more fish, your points will naturally increase. Then I'll try to draw as many attribute points as possible."

Liang Yuan had a clear plan in his mind.

Now all external threats in Unit 1 have been resolved, and there is nothing that can threaten his safety in the short term.

He needs to take advantage of this period of time to accumulate points as quickly as possible, and then participate in the lottery to improve his strength.

I took another look at the mutation progress, it was still 3%!

Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. With every increase in an attribute, the mutation progress would increase by 1%. This was the rule he had discovered so far.

"Until we figure out whether the improvement in mutation progress is a good thing or a bad thing, we should try not to improve it for now."

Liang Yuan could guess that the increased mutation progress would directly affect the individual's strength.

However, the crisis of mental confusion when the mutant awakens makes him hesitate.

Now that there is an attribute panel that can directly add attributes, he doesn't want to take the risk for the time being.

"When I draw enough free attribute points and increase my mental attributes, maybe I can overcome this danger of mental confusion?"

He guessed secretly in his heart, but he was not very sure.

What if the mental attributes increase, which in turn increases the risk of mental confusion when awakening?
Shaking his head, he temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and said silently: "System, open the 50-point lottery disk."

A large amount of supplies are displayed on the 50-point lottery plate, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

There are not only staple foods, but also various vegetables, fruits, seasonings, and weapons and equipment are also very rich.

However, compared to the hot weapons that appear in the 100-point lottery plate, the weapons in the 500-point lottery plate are basically cold weapons.

Liang Yuan took a look and found that the cold weapons here were not only swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, but also modern compound bows, reverse-angle bows, mechanical crossbows, etc.

In addition, the equipment area also has processing machine tools and automated mold equipment.

Of course, the probability of winning this kind of material is extremely small, only slightly larger than the attribute point area.

Liang Yuan looked at his points and without further ado, he went straight to the drawing.

"lottery!"

The turntable spun rapidly, and he stared at the attribute point area.

Unfortunately, good luck did not happen and the pointer fell on the food area.

"Ding, you won Wuchang rice (500kg)!"

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Not bad, 500kg of Wuchang rice is enough to last for a long time."

"Even if people from other apartment buildings offer fish to exchange for rice, it will take a long time."

He took a look at the remaining 48 points, thought about it, and decided to use them all.

What if you are lucky and get an attribute point with 20 points?
With this fluke mentality, he called the system directly.

"Change the 20-point bonus plate."

Suddenly, a new prize plate appeared, with a wide variety of supplies on it.

For food supplies, all units are (20kg).

Liang Yuan thought for a moment: "Is the unit linked to the points?"

"10 points equals 10kg? That box of fillet steak seems to be 10kg per box as well."

"50 points means 500kg, 100 points means the winning material unit is 1 ton."

Liang Yuan felt like he had figured out the pattern.

The lottery starts now.

"Ding, you won the vegetable gift pack (20kg)."

Liang Yuan was immediately delighted and quickly looked at the vegetable gift package.

However, in the vegetable gift package, there were five kinds of vegetables: radish, green vegetables, eggplant, green pepper and tomato, each weighing about 4kg.

"This is good. As the floods get worse, food becomes increasingly scarce. Vegetables, which are difficult to preserve, are no longer available."

"But the human body needs vitamins to maintain balance, so we can't not eat vegetables."

"These 20kg of vegetables arrived just in time."

Liang Yuan was delighted and after a quick calculation, he decided that if someone wanted to exchange fish for vegetables, he would trade in grams.

"Come on, system, continue the lottery!"

The prize disc spun, and soon the system prompt sounded again.

This time, Liang Yuan opened his eyes wide and showed excitement!
