Chapter 441 Originium
“It’s sugar!”
As soon as they saw what Zhang Tuohai was holding, excitement immediately lit up the children's eyes. They bit their fingers, looking eager to try.
"There's hope." Seeing the looks of these children, Zhang Tuohai was secretly happy. He had been worried that it would be a pain for those children if they didn't know what lollipops were.
Fortunately, they were quite knowledgeable, which saved him a lot of effort.
"Are you a peddler?" a chubby-looking child asked bravely.
"A peddler? Yes, but this is my first time walking here and I'm a little lost. Can I ask where this is? Whoever gives a good answer will get this lollipop."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"I know, I know, this is the border village." The chubby child said immediately.
"I also know that there is snow ahead and the weather is very cold." A child next to him, with snot running down his mouth, added.
At this time, a girl with twin ponytails and wearing a white vest made of rabbit skin showed disdain on her face and immediately raised her hand and said, "I know. Our village is called Boundary Village. It is the junction of the snowy area and the land. If we go further, there will be snowmen. If you are alone, it will be very dangerous. In addition, our village produces fur and dried meat. If you are a peddler, you can buy these two things. In addition, we need salt, sugar and weapons. As long as the items you bring out are suitable, I can help you sell them at a high price."
After the little girl finished speaking, she proudly raised her chin towards the fat boy and the little snotty boy.
Seeing the little girl's appearance, Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This little girl has clear ideas and is well organized. Although she doesn't talk much, she explains demand and supply very clearly.
He also told Zhang Tuohai a piece of news, that is, if he continued to go up, he would encounter a creature called snowman.
This little girl is interesting.
Zhang Tuohai handed the lollipop to the little girl: "Thank you for your answer. This is a thank you gift."
The little girl took the lollipop with a smile on her face, tore open the wrapper, licked it gently, and her eyes were as bright as crescent moons.
The little girl licked the lollipop twice and made a demonstrative face at the fat boy.
“Lilililil——”
When the fat boy saw the little girl had a lollipop, he became a little anxious. After thinking for a while, he took out a handful of small stones from his pocket. These small stones were colorful and very beautiful.
He handed the small stone to Zhang Tuohai and said, "Can I exchange these things with you?"
"What is this?" Zhang Tuohai pretended to be slightly hesitant.
Although he had a lot of candies in his hand, he couldn't exchange them for some beautiful stones, right?
"This is my treasure." The little fat man said proudly, "No one in the whole village has a stone more beautiful than mine."
"Come on, they are rocks washed down by the last flash flood. They just look a little bit more beautiful in color. What's so special about them?"
The little girl at the side bluntly exposed him.
The little fat boy's face turned red and he turned around and wanted to run away.
However, at this time, Zhang Tuohai stopped him.
"It's okay. I like these treasures too. They are very beautiful. I am willing to exchange them for a lollipop."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the little fat boy.
"Really? Thank you so much." The little fat boy looked excited. He grabbed the lollipop and ran away like the wind, as if he was afraid that Zhang Tuohai would go back on his word.
Zhang Tuohai ignored him and said to the other children with a smile: "If you have this kind of stone, you can also exchange it with me. As long as I am satisfied, you can exchange it for a lollipop."
After hearing this, the other children also dispersed and ran quickly to their homes, wanting to exchange the shiny little stones they picked up with Zhang Tuohai for lollipops.
"You are such a good person. You are willing to exchange lollipops for these broken stones." The little girl pouted and said.
"It just so happens that I have some fish, and it would look better if I used these stones to pave the fish tank."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he stuffed the stone into his pocket.
However, his heart was pounding.
Because, according to the hint given by the prompt system, one of those stones is actually a source stone!
It’s actually Originium!
Zhang Tuohai was extremely excited.
This is Originium. According to Lilith's experimental notes, this thing can nourish life and heal injuries.
At the beginning, Lilina had been lying in the ice house, relying on an Originium to sustain her life.
Moreover, under the radiation of this thing, it may even induce mechanical bodies to develop life and consciousness.
He has many ideas, all of which require the use of Originium to be realized.
However, after Zhang Tuohai exchanged the Originium from Lilina, he only dared to treat it as the final trump card and did not dare to let anything else go wrong.
Now that we have one more, we can use it to try new experiments.
"Oh, you outsiders have really weird hobbies." The little girl said with a pout.
In her opinion, salted fish are for eating. It is strange that there are people who raise and feed them.
"Let's go. My father is the village chief. If you want to receive or sell goods here, you'd better get my father's consent. Otherwise, everyone will drive you out."
The little girl said this and walked in front, her two ponytails swinging back and forth.
"So she's the village chief's daughter. No wonder she speaks so logically."
Zhang Tuohai understood. He thought about it, picked up a box, and followed the girl.
The car followed into the village, and many people looked at Zhang Tuohai and his car with curiosity.
The two men came to a yard and stopped. The little girl ran in quickly and shouted, "Dad, the peddler is here."
A middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket, two meters tall, extremely burly, and with an eye mask walked out of the house. There were three deep scars on his face, which looked like they were scratched by some wild beast.
He was carrying a shotgun on his shoulder. The muzzle of the shotgun was very thick, about 20 mm, and the barrel was about one centimeter thick. It looked almost like a cannon.
However, a muzzle larger than 20mm can indeed be considered a cannon.
The middle-aged man came to Zhang Tuohai and looked down at him: "Are you a peddler? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"People always go from being strangers to being familiar with each other. This is a small gift I brought for meeting you. I hope you like it."
Zhang Tuohai opened the suitcase in his hand, revealing an exquisite hunting rifle.
This shotgun has a silver-plated exterior, a walnut handguard, and the barrel is carved with exquisite patterns. It is clearly a work of exquisite craftsmanship.
When the middle-aged man saw the shotgun in the box, his breathing became heavy.
