Chapter 87: The giant frog's skin is really tough
[This is indeed a solution, but we don’t have a good shoemaker locally. We can either buy ready-made ones from the Awakener or ask a shoemaker to make them custom.]
[If I want to customize the shoes, I want to make my own last first. Using a public mold won’t fit my feet well, but I don’t know where to find someone to do it.]
[You reminded me, let's go to Town No. 1 together one day to ask, there are many craftsmen there. ]
[Are there many craftsmen in that place? ]
[Yes, although there are not as many people as those cities with a large number of craftsmen, but not everyone likes to go to big cities. The competition is so fierce. It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Opening a business in Town No. 1, even if there is no big business, a small business is enough to maintain a comfortable life. ]
[That's true. Let's go there someday. ]
[No hurry, I'll ask around to see if there's anyone with good skills, wait for my news.]
【it is good. 】
Ye Nai exited the chat window with Sister Da Ma, placed an order for a bunch of barbecue with Brother Peng, and then found a runner to pick it up for her. Then she logged into the online game and played while waiting.
When the barbecue came, she quit the game, picked a movie, opened a bottle of beer, and watched it while eating.
Sister Da Ma also contacted the whole team at this time, asking for their opinions and whether they should find new materials to customize new boots.
Speaking of leather, the giant frog is still in the logistics space and has not been handed over. This is a good opportunity to test the toughness of the giant frog's skin.
The next morning, Sister Dama and the others called Ye Na to go to the slaughterhouse in the military camp that specialized in slaughtering exotic beasts.
All the intact prey brought back can be killed here, the skin and meat removed, and the scraps removed can be packed together.
The giant frog is a new species, and the slaughterhouse has equipment to test on the spot how much meat is edible.
The members of the Jin team acted as butchers, wearing protective clothing and transparent masks, wrapped tightly from head to toe.
Various knives and axes were laid out on the table, ranging from civilian models bought on the street to special ones used by people with special abilities. They tried them one by one, plus the team members' own golden blades, to see which one could cut through the giant frog's skin, so they could get a rough idea of its toughness.
He cut the top of the head, back, limbs and abdomen one by one for more than two hours, and tried all the weapons he had, but still couldn't make a single cut.
"Oh my god, this leather is so tough? Even wild boar skin is not this tough."
Not to mention the team members who came to watch the fun, all the idle people near the slaughterhouse came to watch, surrounding the place in three layers. Some people even lent their personal weapons, but it was useless.
"This giant frog is very difficult to kill. The sniper rifle bullets bounced off its body. It died only after being hit in the eyes."
"No direct bombardment?"
"Our team members will get close and use their supernatural powers to attack and hold it in place, otherwise the sniper won't stand a chance."
"Why don't we let the gold team members try it themselves? See how much strength is needed to cut the leather?"
A large group of people were discussing the matter, and this team member decided to follow everyone's advice. He stood in front of the giant frog's belly and mobilized his special powers. A sharp conical golden blade formed between his palms, and then the golden cone was stabbed heavily into the giant frog's belly. It could be clearly seen that the part that was under force had sunk to form a small hole, but it did not penetrate.
The team members continued to exert force, and they almost fell on the giant frog's belly. They were in a stalemate for several minutes, and finally they heard a "pop" sound, and the giant frog's belly was finally pierced open.
At the same time as it was pierced, a huge sound of air leaking came from the giant frog's belly. The Gold Team members heard something was wrong and wanted to withdraw, but it was too late. The small hole suddenly burst open, and a bunch of smelly internal organs burst out and buried the person.
Along with the huge noise, a foul smell spread out in all directions, directly toward the onlookers. Many of the onlookers were not wearing masks. They had just heard that a new species had been caught in the slaughterhouse, so they came to see the excitement. As a result, they were immediately hit by the stench that would take three years to wash away. Those who were far away quickly ran away, and those who were close bent over and vomited on the spot.
The scene was a mess.
Ye Na dodged it in time.
Not only did she run away herself, she also pulled away Sister Da Ma who was standing on her left and a team member on her right.
They ran far away and smelled the odor coming from the wind. They couldn't help but vomit several times. Ye Na gave each of them a filtering mask that she wore when moving garbage, and they felt a little better.
"Oh my god, Xiaoye, it's a good thing you saw the opportunity quickly."
"I just realized that this giant frog has been in the logistics space for so many days, and its stomach should have started to rot."
"Hah, indeed. I was so tired that I forgot such a simple question. From now on, all fresh food like this will be placed in your space."
"Row."
"At least the suffering was not in vain. We found out that the giant frog's skin has the strongest toughness so far." Another team member looked at his comrades who were fleeing with sympathy.
"Indeed, but we can't use this leather to make boots." Sister Da Ma was a little sad because the valuable new material had to be handed over.
"It's okay. Water snakes can't be too far from the water. Next time you go, bring more individual artillery and fire at them from a distance instead of engaging in hand-to-hand combat. The giant frog's tongue is very strong. It can even hold a tractor. It can easily roll up a person and there's no way to save him."
"With this giant frog, it won't be difficult to apply for some heavy weapons."
"How many can you apply for? The kind that plows the land with multiple plows?"
"Don't tell me, this giant frog skin is obviously of high value. If you want more, you'll have to bring heavy artillery. I'll definitely call you then."
"No problem~" Ye Na thought about it and added, "If there are tracked vehicles, bring a few more."
Sister Dama made an OK gesture.
"By the way, speaking of fresh food, do you want some of this?"
Ye Na took out a large nest of bird eggs with various patterns from the space.
"Wow, so many? You are really adventurous. You put an octagonal cage and picked up bird eggs everywhere?" Sister Dama hurriedly and carefully took it with both hands.
"I'm curious. There are birds laying eggs in this season. The colors and patterns are different. They are obviously different birds, but their habits are the same. I want to see if there are other similarities. Are they the same as laying eggs and ducks? I wonder if the nutritional value of these eggs is good? Is there any economic value in breeding them?"
"That's what we thought when we picked up the eggs."
Ye Na smiled widely. She was looking forward to hearing good news in the future. Then she would immediately keep those water birds in captivity.
It would be very profitable to enclose such a vast wetland as far as the eye can see and use it as a farm.
The three of them were fantasizing about whether they could really gain benefits from those water birds. At the slaughterhouse, their team members were shouting for help to dig the people out from under the giant frog's entrails on the ground. If they continued to be buried like this, the people would suffocate.
Hearing the shouting, Ye Na and the other three hurried over to lend a hand.
