"Are you sure you want to eat this?"
Li Liang looked helpless.
After less than an hour of strolling around the "Samach Gathering Place", Li's child started clamoring for something to eat. Unexpectedly, Cain's idea was exactly what he wanted. One of them quickened their pace and concentrated on looking for food.
Unfortunately, the proportion of carbon-based civilizations in the spiritual world is very small, and there are even fewer species that eat by chewing. Therefore, the catering business in Tala Zonai is quite sluggish. The group walked around for a long time before they found one in the corner of the corner. "Fly stall".
The stall owner is an old woman from Ta Xing with a wrinkled face. She was drowsy at first, but she immediately became energetic when she saw the arrival of customers. She quickly introduced the "delicious food" she sells in Ta Xing language - pronounced "Foye Doubang Samach". Snacks and two flavors of Tasing biscuits are bought and made at low prices. A cluster of Latsona can feed the entire human tour group.
Li Liang has tasted Ta Xing biscuits, which taste like grilled naan, and "Foye Doubang Samach", commonly known as "mixed Bang Bang Guo" according to Allen, is a food unique to Ta Xing and is rumored to have a weird taste.
Everyone was originally eager to try it, but after watching the production process of "Foye Doubang Samach", everyone fell silent.
The pulp of the Bang Bang fruit roasted over low fire was a strange indigo color and looked rusty. While it was still steaming, the old man dug a piece of pulp into a clay pot with his bare hands, and grabbed a handful of lively "shrimps". Purple powder, two spoons of colorful liquid, then picked up a stone grinding rod, banged the pestle, pounded the contents of the clay pot into a lump, then put it into a small bowl, and finally from the foot He caught a palm-sized beetle from his big bag and grasped it solemnly. A stream of yellowish viscous lipids squeezed out from the tail of the beetle and poured into the bowl.
"Are you sure you want to eat this?" Li Liang asked again.
Child Li shook his cloak and said pitifully: "Hungry."
At this time, a young Marine stepped forward, smiled at the stall owner and said, "I'll try it first." He took the bowl with a look of determination in his eyes, took a big spoonful and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully. , swallowed it, and took another spoonful.
By the time he took the fifth spoonful, Child Li's mouth flattened and tears were already welling up in his eyes.
Noticing this scene, the captain of the Marine Corps leading the team looked embarrassed and kicked his subordinate: "Are you done yet?"
"Hmm..." The team member put the last spoonful of "Foye Doubang Samach" into his mouth and said with a sip, "This stuff is quite delicious."
"..."
Li Liang smiled, gestured to the people behind him, and said to the stall owner, "We each have one."
The stall owner met and quickly made a few more copies.
Li took the bowl with his feet on his feet, scooped a little with a spoon and put it on his head. He first gave Oumuamua a bite, and then gave himself a spoonful. She found that it tasted good. The little girl squinted her eyes and shook her head.
"Try it?" Li Liang picked up a bowl and handed it to Cain, "It's clean and hygienic, my friend."
"Thank you," Cain snorted, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the pleased Li child.
Li Liang took a taste and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Well, um~ um~ creamy pickled cabbage and mashed potatoes."
"Come on, how is it possible..."
Cain had a look of disgust on his face, but found that Child Li had already finished swirling the bowl, so he doubtfully grabbed the spoon and took a sip, "Huh?"
Then he got one for himself without hesitation.
After all, the Marines were playing the role of tourists. At this moment, they stepped forward one after another and each received a bowl. However, due to their mission, most of them only tasted it.
After a few spoonfuls, Li Liang was already half full.
"Bangbangguo" not only tastes like mashed potatoes, but is also as filling as potatoes, and the fat squeezed out by the beetles is like condensed milk. It is so sweet that you will get tired of it if you eat too much.
At the final checkout, Cain adhered to the principle of "come and come" and packed another pile of "Ta Star Biscuits".

The "Human Tourist Group" continued to visit the "Samachi gathering place" aimlessly. As they went deeper, the novelty gradually faded away. Everyone found that the things sold at the street stalls were always the same. Later, even Cain lost interest and began to Pay attention to the shops on both sides of the road.
Since Tala Zonai was once the last supply station before exploring the world of Chawu, many of the shops opened by alien creatures are dedicated to receiving exploration teams. In addition to selling various magic items and Taoist mechanisms, you can also rent spaceships and hire bounty hunters. .
Especially in the "direct store" of the Explorers Association, all customers who dress up as "professional explorers" can enjoy discounts.
One of the stores actually sells the "Explorer Series - Yodel Hero" set. The price is surprisingly cheap. Compared with the "Three Bronzebeard Brothers", "Billions of Avatars" and "Spear of Loneliness" in the same series, it is equivalent to half the price. Half free.
"My Healing Game"
Li Liang immediately bought a set, because Teemo has come out of the trough and will get his own glory sooner or later. When the time comes, the set of the same style will definitely be bullish, and the room for appreciation will be huge.
In addition, he also collected some books on magic and Taoism. Although most of them are in the form of "reading" by inorganic creatures, the Nautilus is fully equipped and can be translated into text and images. Afterwards, he bought all the commonly used "magic dust" and "ceremonial utensils" to practice magic rituals on the ship.
As for the extremely attractive "fool-style" magic items and Taoist mechanisms introduced in Ling's vision, they were often very rough and the prices were outrageous. He bought a few pieces here and there and gave them to Cain and Li as toys.
Compared with the spacious and clean foreign shops, the "Taxing Stone Houses" that survive in the cracks are mostly simple and shabby. The things sold there are slightly more refined than the street stalls. The same ores are ground into powder and sold, and the types of spices are also more complete. In addition, there are also You can buy a type of "commodity" that can be called the unique feature of Tower Star - slaves.
Allen said that there are many civilizations with "slave classes" in carbon-based civilizations, but very few are willing to sell slaves to foreign races. The Terranza Alliance has repeatedly asked the Tastars to stop selling slaves, but compared with cheap ores and For spices, a Taxing slave can be sold for dozens to hundreds of beads. The "profit" is so huge that various clans and tribes, including Tata Moro, are simply unwilling to give up.
Li Liang really couldn't think of the value of those thin and dull slaves huddled in dirty animal pens. After questioning, he found out that the buyers were basically creatures of other life forms. These "meat" towers were Star people take them back to their hometowns and keep them as pets or for exhibition. Asked whether they would be dissected and studied, Allen could only reluctantly say, "At least the Makosik Convention prohibits the abuse of intelligent life."
The young marines in the tour group were silent after hearing this, and some quietly looked at the "Twin Gods", thankful that mankind not only has countless compatriots who are willing to die to defend their homeland, but also has a far-sighted leader.

Unconsciously, there were only three hours left before the "communication" time agreed between the fleet and the Tata Moro clan.
While shopping so far, in addition to shopping, Li Liang is also paying attention to information about the Chawu Realm. Whenever he encounters a team of explorers or well-informed shopkeepers, he will ask Allen to strike up a conversation.
At present, the "safe" path known to explorers is still the "Sunny Tunnel", a straight passage with a diameter of ten kilometers without black fog inside. It can safely go hundreds of kilometers deep to reach the "Remorse Fog".
It is an area where the black fog is relatively thin. The cunning god will give explorers a last chance to "regret", but often does not give them a chance to survive. After Ragnarok, countless expedition teams died here, including many powerful and famous explorers. Their aircraft lost control, gradually ran out of fuel, and decayed and shattered.
Nowadays, most expedition teams only dare to linger on the edge of the Regret Fog, and their goal has changed from "exploring the secrets of the Mist Realm" to "salvaging the wreckage." Once they find the belongings left by certain historical figures, they can sell them A sky-high price.
The most valuable relic in recent years, with ten spiritual cores sold, is said to be a magic tent. The original owner experienced the battle of gods and was a famous magician recorded in history.
Based on various reports, exploring the Shawu Realm has completely become a business.
During several conversations, many explorers complained that since the opening of Qishan City, any organization that wants to explore the Shawu Realm must obtain human consent. However, so far, no team has obtained permission.
In response, Li Liang could only smile sympathetically.
There was not much time left. Before returning, he had one last "task" - to shoot a long shot in conjunction with "Hans and His Friends".
Just when Li Liang thought that his trip to Taratsona was about to end smoothly, an unexpected incident occurred that caught him off guard.
Child Li is lost.
