A small town at the foot of Melk Mountain.
"Brother Zheng Yuan!"
"Boss Zheng Yuan, your arms have grown!"
...
A group of children who were less than one meter tall and wearing clothes that had been washed until they turned white gathered around a "behemoth" to them.
The "behemoth" wore a sleeveless vest, revealing his strong chest muscles, and bulging muscles on both arms. His skin was fair but not sickly, and his appearance was evil. Some of his slender eyes had blood-red pupils, which were daunting, and his long black The hair is like a big cloak, which adds a certain domineering quality to the man.
But this man, who didn't look like a good person, showed an extremely hearty smile, picked up the two youngest children and let them sit on his shoulders, while the remaining children walked behind the man.
"You little brats, don't pull my pants. Haven't we seen each other for a year? Why are you so excited?"
Zheng Yuan said with some helplessness that these children were from the orphanage in the town. Their situation was similar to that of Nancy Mu and Nancy Yu. They were all because there were supposedly safe food areas nearby, which led to frequent people coming and going. , and then the product was born.
Although Zheng Yuan only believed that he was not a good person, after seeing Nan Nanmu's life, he softened his heart when he was touched by the scene. Besides, since he was also capable, he could help as much as he could.
Of course, Zheng Yuan didn't give them money directly, which would be tantamount to harming them. If he gave money directly in a supposedly safe atmosphere in his previous life, someone would naturally handle it, but in this world...
too messy! Except for the central area of the human world, most of the area is in chaos of war and hunger. Why? Because of the food!
There are too many people in this world. Because of the vastness of the area, food was plentiful at first, so people spread like locusts to all safe areas in the human world. Later, because there were too many people, food was scarce. Not enough, so in order to survive, countries started wars to plunder each other's food and reduce each other's populations.
Some people may ask, in a world where you can even eat dirt in many places, why are there still people hungry?
It is true that if the entire human world could be developed, let alone the people in front of them, even if the population increased ten times, they would still be able to support it. But the problem is that this world is not only filled with humans, but also those ferocious beasts!
Capture level 1 can be said to be the food at the bottom of the pyramid. It requires ten fully armed hunters with guns to capture, and most of the creatures that can be captured based on the number of people are below capture level 5. When it is above 5, it is a car. Main battle tanks are also difficult to fight against, not to mention that capture level five is at the bottom, and there are monsters with capture level ten or above. They occupy most of the food production areas, which are places that are difficult for humans to reach.
And the most important thing is - the road! Yes, it's the road. This inconspicuous thing is the main reason why the world cannot be completely peaceful. Because of the existence of delicious creatures, transportation in many places is inconvenient. Some countries don't even have a complete road to the outside world!
This has led to an increase in transportation costs for some originally low-priced foods, so that poor people in countries with inconvenient transportation have to pay higher prices to obtain food, leading to a vicious cycle of making neither money nor food.
Food hunters are the key to breaking this deadlock. Unlike ordinary humans, they have strong bodies and can fight food creatures to obtain precious ingredients. Although these have nothing to do with the poor, because of the emergence of food hunters, they are also It can boost the economy of that area and make people live better.
It's a bit far off topic, let's get back to the point, because Zheng Yuan believed that he could not give them money directly, and the orphanage had already asked children over 6 years old to work in exchange for low wages because there was not much income, so Zheng Yuan simply cooperated with Uncle Kede, The entire orphanage was rented out, and the children were allowed to do some easy sorting work under Ke De, and a teacher was hired to teach them how to read.
The children who were helped by Zheng Yuan to escape from heavy and repetitive work would naturally be very grateful to Zheng Yuan, so Zheng Yuan became the king of children in this small town.
"Boss, I recognized 4 characters today!"
Sitting on Zheng Yuan's shoulder, the dark young man held Zheng Yuan in his arms with a tone of asking for credit.
"I recognized 5 of them!"
The second kid next to him said unconvinced.
"I have 6!"
"I'm 7."
...
The children below walked noisily with Zheng Yuan for a while and arrived at the edge of the town of Melk.
"Go back, everyone. I'll come to see you tomorrow. Remember to say hello to Uncle Kede. I'm busy so I won't go talk to him. Also, study hard. Your eldest brother, I just suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated... "
Squatting down and looking at the little kids with different expressions, Zheng Yuan said earnestly.
"Know it!"
The children looked at Zheng Yuan and shouted with smiles.
"I'm leaving."
Standing up, Zheng Yuan smiled and waved, then turned his back to the children, squatted, took off, and flew straight to the ground like a jet plane. The strong wind also blew up at the same time, blowing several lighter children away. It made me sit down.
"Brother is so awesome!"
"I also want to be a food hunter like Brother Zheng Yuan in the future."
...
"Although most places are in the same situation as mentioned before, Melk Town is still a little different."
Looking at the flying scenery, Zheng Yuan looked up in front of him, squinting his eyes, his face was calm, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
...
"Phew! Why didn't that 100 million guy come to take me?"
Standing at the foot of Melk Mountain, looking up at the mountain with no top visible, Zheng Yuan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and murmured to himself.
"Well, I guess Xiaomei is angry. She is probably dragging the tail of Yiyi to prevent her from coming down. After all, she hasn't been back for so long... Maybe she can be coaxed, okay?"
Zheng Yuan scratched his head and said hesitantly.
at the same time.
"100 million, don't go!"
Lying on the low table, one hand held the tail of Yiyi, who was four meters high at the shoulders and had slender limbs. He lay his face in the arm of the other hand and said in a low voice.
"Ouch(...)."
He lay helplessly on the ground, stared at the ceiling with his godless dog eyes, and barked helplessly.
"Hahaha, Xiaomei, who are you to be so awkward?"
Melk, who was drinking heavily on the side, laughed mercilessly.
"I don't want to be talked about by you, a hairy uncle!"
Xiaomei with red eyes said angrily.
"......hairy......"
Melk, who was told by his adopted daughter, was as if struck by lightning, his expression suddenly shrunk, his tall body also stooped a little, and he became silent.
"(#` n´)"
Xiaomei hugged the 100 million tail angrily and did not look at Melk.
"Ouch (I won't run, let go of my tail)."
One hundred million weak growls.
...
"As expected, here. As expected, if you have enough money, you can't do anything. It's actually faster than me taking the train. I'm afraid it wasn't airlifted all the way."
Patting the silver box next to him that was twice as tall as himself, Zheng Yuan nodded with satisfaction. It contained the local specialties that Zheng Yuan brought back specially. Because there were a lot of them, he had someone check them in. They were probably airdropped directly.
Lifting the box above his head with one hand, Zheng Yuan bent his knees and suddenly jumped up dozens of steps. The earthy dust flew away and the stones trembled slightly.
"Hahaha, I'm back!"
