Chapter 82: Fu Ye

(Thanks for the tip of the cute rabbit sauce)

“…… I always feel that it's been a long time since I've used the MC system so fully to solve problems......"

This time, even Lez, who likes to die the most, did not choose to run to the patrol routes of the three [holographic security] to play the game of finding objects. Hawkers, there's no denying that this "agent stealth game" is very exciting and interesting, but now that he has just been hung up and beaten, he really doesn't want to relive the burning sensation immediately.

So Leeds chose to drag his teammates to use a dirty method to clear the level...... Well, although I don't know what the principle of these [holographic security] is, it seems that if they don't see the living people squarely, they will not have the so-called "alert" state, and will only move back and forth again and again according to the route set by the program. In this way, it is very easy to exploit the loopholes of the rules, pile up a wall when it turns its back, and then rummage behind the wall to find possible "projection instruments".

After overcoming the only obstacle to the underground in such a virtually non-risky way, they came to the ground floor - no, maybe there was something down there, and maybe the entrance to the real living quarters of the underground vault was hidden, only obscured by a thick reddish-brown poisonous mist...... It seems that the poisonous gas that pervades the valley is escaping from here.

But that didn't matter anymore, because Leeds had found what they were looking for.

"That's it?" Leon frowned, pointing to the gold bricks piled up on a desk.

As soon as he heard this, even Krausa couldn't help but look at him with scrutinizing eyes, "...... Leon, I know you have a high income. But how high is it? "Tell me, how much have you been corrupted?

"I have so much money and still have to work as a grassroots agent?" Leon didn't have a good airway. "Just watching TV, isn't this just a few people tall in the gold mountain? Pip-Boy said this is the most gold in the Mojave region. I thought it would be that scale. ”

"People only run casinos, not gold mines...... Liz angrily walked to the desk with gold, casino chips and pre-war banknotes, picked up a gold brick and threw it into the MC's backpack...... The process is very calm, there is no way, gold in the overworld is almost the most useless resource, and Leeds really can't look at this metal directly from the perspective of "luxury".

“…… Not? ”

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing," ...... a little surprised but not surprised, "It's just that I originally thought that this gold brick would be defined as a 'gold ingot' by the system, but I didn't expect it to be defined as a 'gold brick'...... Adjustments made due to the difficulty of obtaining gold from another world? It's like finding no "iron ingots" in the city, so they replace them with large pieces of unfinished steel.

"That means ......!"

"Yes. Such a gold brick can be broken down into nine 'gold ingots,' or nine gold bars, "and one gold brick can be crafted into a golden apple to turn a super mutant back...... Of course, if the golden apple really has that effect. ”

“…… Do you only need eight gold bars...... But the reserves of gold ......," Leon groaned suddenly.

"Hey, split up, the rules of this world are not necessarily the same as your world~" Liz knew that the split was thinking about the problems of his own world, and the cost difference between eight gold bars to save one person and eight gold bricks to save one person was far away...... Although, as long as gold can save people, the information is made public. In fact, the essence of the problem will not change, "Anyway, you give me the apple first." ”

“…… Ah, sorry. When Leeds said this, Leon also felt that he was thinking a little too far. Smiled apologetically, pulled the apple out of his backpack and tossed it to Liz.

"Received ......" Liz himself released another workbench and slowly activated the ability, "The gold bricks will quickly disintegrate into gold ingots." Gold ingots and apples...... Synthetic Golden Apples - That's it! ”

Instead of a "golden apple", a "golden apple" appeared in Leeds' hand.

“…… Can this thing bite? Kraussa pretended not to care. But as soon as the golden apple appeared, didn't it come and speak?

"How do I know, I haven't eaten again...... Fox. This is the first golden apple I have synthesized, and I will taste it slowly, and I will write a thousand words after eating. Liz threw the golden apple directly at the super mutant who had been on the plane since the beginning.

(Boom!) Seeing the golden apple fly over, Fawkes was so frightened that he even threw the laser Gatling, and clasped his hands together to catch it with a gentle movement that didn't match the five words "super mutant" at all.

"This, this...... Just let me ...... Turn back into a human golden apple! "The super mutant voice who has always been excited is now triple the excitement factor, "Liz! If I just eat it, can I turn back into a human in no time? ”

"No, according to the original setting, you still need to toss for a day or two...... I don't think it's going to be comfortable in the process~ "Whether it's swelling from a normal human to a super mutant, or shrinking from a super mutant to a normal human, Liz feels like it's going to hurt!"

“…… Is that all......" However, this kind of disadvantage didn't seem to even have the value of being taken to heart by Fawkes, he just stared at the golden apple, the golden apple with a metallic sheen in his hand.

Half an hour later,

“…… Liz, can you keep it for me? To everyone's surprise, Faulkesto delivered the golden apple to Leeds.

“?” Fawkes had expressed his attitude so many times before that it was impossible for him to say something like 'why don't we find a test test first and see how it works', but Liz still believed it, so he took the golden apple and waited for an explanation.

And Fawkes didn't turn his back on his expectations, "Now I'm the only super mutant who knows that I'm human!" …… I'm going to Jacob's Town and eat the golden apple in front of my fellow super mutants who get along well with humans, and the gold bricks here can turn dozens of super mutants back into humans! ”

“……!”

"Oops, Kraussa, is there a feeling of being crushed on a moral level by a super mutant?!"

“…… Shut up, American agent. ”

Helplessly, super mutants have always appeared in front of them as "enemies", and no super mutant other than Fawkes is reminiscent of humans...... Of course, the super mutants who they didn't know in Jacob's Town, who had never been there, were not on their rescue list.

However, Fawkes, who had also just come to the West Coast from the East Coast, had never been to Jacob's Town and had never known the super mutants there, but he thought of it! Perhaps it's not just that he's now a "member of the FEV victims", but that even Leeds themselves are starting to become apathetic as they spend more time in this wasteland.

"Woo, Fawkes, let's call you Fu Ye in the future! Your charisma will always be on the alert to where we are headed! ”

“???” Fu Ye looked confused. (To be continued.) )
