Hyperdimensional Harem Exploration Project

"I'll pay attention."

Xu Ya nodded and remembered the doctor's advice. He didn't expect that this city under the rule of the Electorate would be so chaotic. So he took off his outermost clothes and wrapped the medicine box before leaving the doctor's office.

"how is the situation?"

Mudstone asked with concern at the first moment.

"We have the medicine, let's go."

Every moment mattered, and they walked back without stopping, passing through the quiet path as they got closer to the boundary of the warehouse in the marginal area.

Suddenly they heard noisy footsteps coming from all directions. Where did so many people come from in such a remote place?

Xu Ya and Mud Rock looked at each other, vaguely feeling uneasy, and then they sped up and wanted to return to the warehouse as soon as possible.

"Don't let them get away!"

At this moment, someone seemed to sense the movement on their side and shouted loudly without disguising.

Then a group of people in shabby Caprini clothes appeared at the end of another alley. When they saw the three of them, they rushed over aggressively like zombies staring at living people.

"What's going on? We haven't offended anyone!"

The Sarkaz mercenaries who were responsible for protecting Xu Ya looked at these Caprini with displeasure, and directly picked up the weak Xu Ya and Mud Rock and ran away at full speed. They were now racing against time to rescue people, and had no intention of staying here and getting entangled with these guys of unknown origin.

"Sarkaz! Stop right there! Why are you running?"

The Caprini screamed, and their physical strength was completely unable to catch up with the Sarkaz, whose physique was among the top even among the Terran supermen, so some people raised their staffs and cast spells to stop them from moving forward.

Suddenly, Mudstone and his companions felt that the gravel path, which was supposed to be solid and flat, became muddy, entangled with their feet like quicksand, and the sticky feeling made it difficult to move forward.

"Earth, listen to my request!"

Mudstone keenly sensed the abnormality of the earth. She sang and swung the square hammer in her hand to hit the ground. In the blink of an eye, the malicious ground returned to calm, paving the way for them to move forward.

The Sarkaz's speed increased again, but after running a few more steps, he had to stop again.

Because at this moment, their way was blocked by a group of Caprini holding short-handled magic wands, and they were surrounded from all sides.

"It's not good, huh?"

Mudstone and his companion raised their war hammers, and held Xu Ya, who had been put down again, on the left and right, and protected him firmly with their backs.

At the same time, they faced the locals head-on, ready to fight at any time. Sarkaz could see that these Caprini were not all vicious and ferocious. Their eyes were nervous, confused, and afraid, and their fighting postures were also a mess. This showed that they were not those murderous and heartless criminals.

However, a group of ordinary people would not take the initiative to intercept the demons with bad reputations.

"Sarkaz... Please allow us to take up a little of your time." At this time, a rather young Caprini with ram horns came out, bowed slightly, and spoke politely like an aristocrat. "Can you allow me to have a few words with the gentleman you are protecting?"

"What do you want to say?"

It seems that there is no way to avoid trouble. Xu Ya walked out helplessly, thinking that he did not provoke anyone, so why was he blocked here?

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. My name is Ryan."

Young Caprini Lane said again.

I don't want to see you.

Xu Ya sighed, feeling as if he had never had peace since he entered the city. "So what's the matter? Ryan, I think I'm a newly arrived businessman who has not caused any trouble. Is it worth it for you to surround me like this?"

"We wouldn't want to if we could..." Ryan seemed to have something to hide, and his expression became very embarrassed. Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak. "We heard that you just came out of the hospital and got a batch of precious inhibitors. I wonder if you can give them up, sir?"

"Give up? How do you give up?"

Xu Ya suddenly realized and immediately remembered the meaningful words of the doctor in the hospital. Damn, they were waiting here! He then carefully observed the Caprini who surrounded them, and found that Ryan had a black crystal on his chest near his neck, and the others were similar. On their exposed faces, arms, and thighs, traces of Originium could be seen growing on their bodies. Those who seemed to have no problems were obviously just hiding the Originium on their bodies!

They are all infected!

All of this was explained. This group of infected people had long been eyeing the Originium inhibitors in the hospital, but for some reason they didn't dare to rob them. Then the news that he, an ordinary outsider, had bought the inhibitors must have been spread by the insiders of the hospital. Since the hospital didn't dare to rob them, they came to rob him, an outsider.

It goes without saying which one has less risk.

"Give up? The hospital obviously has inhibitors, why don't you go buy them? Why do you have to take the ones I have?"

Xu Ya was still unwilling to be robbed, so he asked.

"Why waste so much time talking to the demons? Why don't we just take Ryan away directly?"

However, before Xu Ya could finish his words, the irritable Caprini beside Ryan started shouting.

Chapter 9: Rescue Plan

Everyone stared at the package of clothes in Xu Ya's hand, waiting for his reply.

The Caprini infected people, one with a white face and one with a red face, continued to exert pressure with threats.

Xu Ya relied on the world of the box garden and used the resources of a world to trade and make money, which was easy to make money. Therefore, he might not know how precious the inhibitor he got was.

In this day and age, without the technical support of Rhodes Island and a certain green big cat, the research progress of Terran countries on inhibitors is very slow, the process is complicated, and the efficiency is low. However, even the initial version of the inhibitor can be said to be a rare and precious product like all the newly emerging high-tech anti-cancer drugs, comparable to pure gold.

The warehouses where the inhibitors were kept in the hospital were guarded by people specially sent by the nobles. Attacking the hospital warehouse to seize the inhibitors was tantamount to challenging the authority of the nobles. Even if they succeeded in grabbing them, the infected people would basically not be able to stay in the mobile city.

With such an ending, it doesn't matter whether you die early or late.

Therefore, they can only target those who buy drugs, especially those outsiders who do not live in the mobile city.

Not everyone lived in mobile cities, after all, mobile cities were still a new thing. Before that, Terrans lived in various slightly safer settlements, and most of the population lived in these "rural areas" rather than cities. It can be seen that mobile cities are not completely necessary for residents everywhere.

But the people in these settlements also have a demand for inhibitors. However, before the emergence of the Tower of Babel and Rhodes Island, high-end medical services and drugs were basically concentrated in mobile cities, and if you wanted to buy medicine, you had to buy it in the city hospital.

So this group of people was targeted.

People like Xu Ya, whose racial identity cannot be identified and who are accompanied by Sarkaz mercenaries, are the perfect targets for the Caprini infected people in the city.

What should I do next?

Xu Ya glanced around. This time, the infected people seemed to have learned that he had bought a lot of inhibitors, and gathered together in a group of hundreds, obviously determined to win.

Have a fight with them?

Can two Sarkaz deal with a hundred Caprini infected? In addition, if pushed to the limit, some extreme people may think, "If I don't live well, you won't live well either," and die together. What is more worrying is the attitude of the city officials. If he causes great damage here and attracts the city guards.

The guards' attitude was unclear, but he didn't think these Caprini would protect people like him who came from unknown places.

Local protectionism exists everywhere.

If we continue to fight, the cost will be high.

At the same time, once the fight starts, Mudrock will inevitably need to use Originium skills to fight back, and Sarkaz's Originium skills all have a price, and using them too much will deepen the infection.

He absolutely does not want to let his wife risk her life in a fight! So he passes the conflict option.

If you can’t win, just run back to the small garden world for refuge?

This is also a good method, but the space-time channel has a cooling time. And the entry and exit points are fixed. If people decide to guard the point, something will be delayed for a long time, and the Sarkaz with activated Originium disease in the warehouse can't wait.

So if they hide, the Mudstone Squad might suffer casualties.

There is a price to pay for both the positive and negative aspects.

As for letting others slaughter you? That is impossible, because if you are too docile, you will be fleeced repeatedly. So you must be tough in an appropriate manner, but you don't want to let the situation get out of control... Wait, I have an idea.

Xu Ya was conflicted, and the Originium skills in his hand were waiting to be used, but his proficiency was not enough, and he could not guarantee that he could guarantee the safety of both of them after using them.

I have never killed anyone, so I feel a little burdened. The only way to deal with the current situation is to outsmart it!

He thought of Rhodes Island's operations. Rhodes Island also established offices and operator bases in some chaotic places. So how did Rhodes Island operators handle the local relationship with the local infected and even the infected gangs without being slaughtered like a fat sheep?

If I remember correctly, they showed their fists first and then sat down to negotiate.

Rhodes Island hired unemployed infected people, used drugs to win over local people, and provided them with jobs to increase their influence. The gangs were less turbulent and had a stable source of drugs.

In this way, everyone benefits and I benefit, and a win-win situation is achieved, which will naturally resolve disputes and even turn enemies into friends.

If you think about it this way, these infected people are not only not enemies, but can also be targets that can be fought for.

If Rhodes Island can do this, then he can also try it.

"Everyone please calm down, I have a question for you, please give me a chance, otherwise..."

In order to delay time, Xu Ya boldly stood up and opened the box in his hand to show the inhibitors, showing that he would rather destroy the drugs than keep them. Mud Rock and another mercenary also understood and showed their heavy hammers and swords, showing that they were ready to fight to the death.

This time, they did not expect the outsiders to be so tough and they were facing the notorious Sarkaz. The Caprini who were targeting them suddenly became quiet, with fear and fear flashing in their eyes. It was obvious that most of them were here for money rather than to kill people.

This trick worked! So he continued, "How many of you are in urgent need of inhibitors?"

"....Two people, two of them have had a low-grade fever recently. If they are not treated, they may become active..."

There was a commotion on Ryan's side, and everyone started talking, and then gave answers that seemed honest.

The truly acutely infected people are basically considered dead and cannot be saved, and the infected people in the city scramble for inhibitors in order to stockpile them.

After hearing what they said, combined with the details about Originium disease provided by the doctor, Xu Ya roughly understood the conditions of these people, and gradually came up with an idea in his mind, a plan that would satisfy both parties.

"Okay, I'll give you these two inhibitors as a token of friendship. But I want to ask you one more thing. You saved the patient this time, but what are you going to do next time he attacks? And there are so many of you, you can't just rely on a kind-hearted person like me to give you money again and again, so I'd rather go to other cities to buy inhibitors!" Xu Ya took out two from the box, wrapped them in clothes to prevent them from getting damaged, and threw them at Ryan's feet. Then he raised new questions and inquiries.

This time they got two by robbing, but it was not enough!

There are hundreds of infected people here. Do they have to rely on robbery all the time? Sooner or later, they will be completely wiped out by the complicated security of the Leitanian government.

People infected have the least human rights in every country.

"It's none of your business, outsider! We'll figure it out on our own."

This soul-stirring questioning made the Leitanian infected, who already had little self-esteem, unable to hold back. This was indeed a fatal question that they deliberately avoided.

"Haha, you want to find a way yourself? I didn't expect that the people of Leitania are so wealthy that they don't take Originium disease seriously. Then I have a suggestion that will allow each of you to get inhibitors regularly. I won't tell you about it."

Xu Ya pretended to be regretful.

"...Please forgive their rudeness. We are not that well-off and I wonder if this gentleman has any good suggestions."

After Ryan got the two inhibitors, he was relieved. He didn't want to push others too hard, so he could leave a way out for the future.

However, the meaning behind Xu Ya's words is even more noteworthy. He is right. An inhibitor is an expensive consumable that can only work for a short time. They live in the present but also have to consider the future.

How to survive without inhibitors in the future is an urgent problem. They don't have parents who are noble merchants, nor do they have much talent. Moreover, they can't find good high-paying jobs because of Originium disease. Everyone is targeting them from top to bottom, forcing the infected to die quickly.

If there is a way to survive, even if it is a trap, Ryan is willing to try it.

"Do you want to come and work for me? I am going to set up a new company, offering high salaries, including food and accommodation. In addition, I will regularly provide inhibitors to the infected people who work for me! Do you see the Sarkaz next to me? These inhibitors are the benefits provided to the Sarkaz who work for me. If they have Originium disease attacks, I will personally buy the inhibitors for them to treat the disease!"

The infected are not born gangsters; most of them are forced by society.

Since society doesn't want these people, Xu Ya will accept them! It just so happens that the box world needs these laborers, and more immigrants can be absorbed to improve the productivity and development of the land.

However, just as America has accepted the benefits of immigration, it must also bear the disadvantages of immigration.

These Terran immigrants with Originium disease were happy to come to his world to work, and Xu Ya was naturally responsible for solving their Originium disease problem. He was not a cold-blooded capitalist, and while enjoying rights, he naturally had to bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations, manage the immigrants well, and provide basic guarantees.

At present, the box world does not have enough strength to conduct research related to Originium disease, so Xu Ya must actively promote the trade between the box world and the Terra continent. However, purchasing inhibitors is only a last resort for him.

The idea that it is better to buy than to make is a bad idea.

Therefore, Xu Ya plans to imitate the green big cat Kal'tsit and establish a special import and export trading company, use the resource advantages of the main world to purchase Terra's technology and companies, transform them into the main world's technology tree, and then build his own system as much as possible. The ultimate goal is to make the main world self-sufficient.

The first step to establish a business is to recruit people. Isn't the candidate for the branch office of Leitania Shi Tongling right in front of us?

"This is real?"

Ryan couldn't imagine what kind of company could regularly give infected people precious inhibitors as compensation. The price of each inhibitor was equivalent to the total salary of an ordinary person for two or three years.

Caprini of the ibex looked at the Sarkaz, and Mudrock and his companions nodded to indicate that what their employer said was true.

"Whether it's true or not, seeing is believing, hearing is false! Once you figure it out, come to this address to find us. If you're willing to come, withdraw the travel expenses from my wallet. I don't think your current situation can be worse than coming to me. Okay, stop talking nonsense, my Sarkaz friend may enter the acute attack stage at any time, please don't hinder us from saving people."

Xu Ya broke the deadlock by turning the enemy into a friend, and then took out a wallet of his own. There were a lot of Leitanian ducats stuffed in it. With money, you can do whatever you want.

And I heard the jingling of coins in the wallet. The other person was so considerate and gave me the inhibitor and the money.

If they continue to make such excessive demands, they will be seen as less than human.

So when the Caprini saw that their leader had nothing to say, they all made way and no longer blocked Xu Ya and his group.

"Are we really doing this right?"

Ryan looked at the Originium Inhibitor in his hand and murmured when he heard the man's invitation.

"Who cares! Ryan, look at this wallet. There are quite a few gold coins! Now our lives will be a little better."
