Taming beasts starts with raising cats

Building, tenth floor.

Today's weather has been a bit gloomy since the morning, and some people speculated that it might rain.

The tea room on the tenth floor gathers the largest number of idle people in the building.

The room that was so lively a few days ago is now no longer occupied by idle people playing cards and mahjong.

Some are just people sitting in the room, busy and lively, coming and going to survive.

"We went to the lower reaches and walked ten kilometers. Anyone who wants to know the news about the lower reaches can exchange the information with us." A man wearing a black sweater, with slightly fluffy hair and full of energy asked, waving his hand.

"What's going on downstream?"

"Get something in exchange, or other useful information."

"Why are you so stingy?" Several people nearby pointed.

"Because of this news, one person in our team died!" the man roared. "You want to know the information we exchanged for our lives out of thin air? The resources exchanged should be given to the family of the dead teammate."

"What's the use of getting some dangerous information? The worst is that there is a river or lake downstream, so it's hard to guess." Someone said.

The man just sneered and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Then go ahead."

"Do you want the newly collected rosin? One pound of rosin is exchanged for one tael of food...the price is negotiable." Someone yelled.

On the other side, leaning against the bedroom wall, sat a woman in her forties, holding a sign in her hand that read - "Manual work in exchange for food."

This is like an intermediary platform, bringing together all kinds of people in this building.

boom.

The door was opened.

Four or five people walked in, and the first one was Wen Ao.

Wen Ao followed Alaska closely. Compared with last time, there was an extra rope around the Alaska's neck.

Since the last time he abandoned his owner and ran away, Alaska ran all the way, relying on his keen sense of smell to find his way home, and squatted in front of the previous owner's house.

In the end, the former owner personally held the rope and sent Alaska back.

Wen Ao turned around and glanced at the person behind him, signaling with his eyes.

One of the people following behind walked out and taped a notice on the wall.

"Post it for a month." The man said.

At the same time, he took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Ma Jinjue, the owner of this room.

Ma Jinjue laughed so hard that his mouth split open. Since he set this rule, no one has ever advertised.

But he has always believed that as long as there is a platform, it exists, and he can survive until then, there will definitely be benefits.

Now comes the first pot of gold!

It doesn't matter how long you stay here, but if you want to put notices on the walls or leave "billboards" or other services in the room, you need to pay a little food as a reward.

Of course, no one has had that luxury yet.

This notice became the first "advertisement" of this agency.

Of course Ma Jinjue knew Wen Ao, the leader of the most popular hunting team in the building.

He is very skillful, I heard he was a big boss before, and more importantly, he has a very capable thug beside him.

Ma Jinjue secretly glanced at a man about 30 years old and about 1.9 meters tall who was following behind Wen Ao.

I don’t know what method Wen Ao used to make this thug loyal to him.

This is a rule of the "agency".

"Since Boss Wen is here to take care of the business, let alone one month, even three months, there is no problem in posting it here." Ma Jinjue said quickly.

"Well, three months then." Wen Ao nodded, "I'm also going to post a notice for my friend."

The people staying here were shocked and came forward to watch the notice.

After all, what a prodigal act this is!

He was actually willing to trade food for an advertising space.

Since he is willing to spend food to advertise, wouldn't he...

"Material exchange?"

"Can you exchange metal items or condiments and other medical supplies for food at 7-10 on the seventh floor?" Someone standing inside muttered to himself.

"is this real?"

"Really or not." The person behind who couldn't squeeze in exclaimed.

"Of course it's true. Since I posted this notice, of course I, Wen Ao, will contribute to this notice." Wen Ao looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "This transaction also has me, Wen Ao, as a guarantee, but since It’s a transaction, of course it’s something you and I agree on, and I don’t want anyone to regret it or want to freeload.”

Wen Ao saw the benefits in this, so when Bai Ye proposed to cooperate with him on this matter, Wen Ao agreed without hesitation.

In addition to obtaining living material resources, you can also get closer to Bai Ye.

Why not?

"I thought I just heard you saying that you had information about the lower reaches of the creek?" Wen Ao turned to look at the man who spoke before.

"certainly."

"You should know what intelligence is. You get what you pay for."

"My news guarantees that you will be satisfied," the man said.

"Come with me." Wen Ao turned around.

...

"We were very happy when we saw the lake downstream. We hadn't washed in a long time, so we were going to wash up on the shore. Unexpectedly, two green hands suddenly stretched out from the water and dragged him into the water." The man mentioned. It was obvious that I still had some lingering fears when this happened.

"Have you seen the true face of the owner of the blue hand?" Bai Ye asked.

"No, but it seems that it is not the skin that is blue, but the fur that is blue." The man said.

"There is an animal in the lake that dragged people into the water." Wen Ao nodded.

This is indeed a very valuable information.

"Give him two taels of bear meat." Wen Ao said to a team member behind him.

"Only... two taels?" The man was obviously not satisfied with the price.

"How much more do you want." Wen Ao said lightly, "Besides telling us that there are animals in the lake, there is no effective information. Do you know the true appearance of that thing? Do you know its habits? Do you know if it has any special abilities?"

The man couldn't answer three questions in a row.

"Someone in our team saw the animal in the water, and he said it looked a bit like a monkey."

"A bit like?" Wen Ao asked, "Can you confirm it?"

The man was silent. He couldn't confirm it, and it was just heard.

"But after all, one of us died!" The man wanted to bargain.

"To be honest, the value of your information is not as great as you think. A normal person knows that there will be something in an unfamiliar lake. Your information is nothing more than confirming this point." Wen Ao looked at the man with a smile, "If you have other valuable information, you can continue to come to me. Believe me, the people in the entire building who are willing to pay hard currency such as food for information should all be in this room."

"Now I am talking to you because I want to talk to you. If you don't want to talk, you won't get a penny." Wen Ao's mouth returned to calmness and said lightly.

The man finally left reluctantly. Just as Wen Ao said, now the only people in the building who are willing to spend food to exchange information are the two people on the seventh floor.

His information is not about food.

After the man left, Bai Ye said, "We were going to explore the lower reaches of the stream that day, but we didn't go because of the brown bear attack."

"I'll trouble you with the exchange. As for the share, we agreed at the beginning." Bai Ye said.

He has limited time and it is impossible to waste time sitting in the transaction.

So let Wen Ao send someone to take charge.

Boom--

A thunder suddenly exploded outside the window.

White lightning flashed through the sky like a long dragon, and heavy rain poured down.

"It's raining, I'll go back to collect the clothes first." Wen Ao nodded and left with his men.

After the door closed, Bai Ye walked to the window.

Duoduo and Meimei stood up and leaned against the window like a curious person, staring at the rain curtain outside the window.

Downstairs, some people began to rush out of the building in the rain, holding basins or buckets in their hands and placing them in the open space to collect rainwater.
