Chapter 4: attack on titan i have upgrade points Chapter 4
"Try it, it's ready."
mike handed Levi a small brown thing.
Levi took what mike handed over and put it in his mouth.
"This thing is so sweet."
"How did you do it, boss?"
The sweet taste in his mouth made Levi's eyes light up.
He didn't expect mike to really make sugar out of wheat.
What mike makes is maltose.
In the underground, and even in the entire above-ground enclosure, things like sugar are extremely luxurious items.
It is also the only most profitable item he can make now.
Therefore, he bought two bags of husk wheat just to prepare maltose.
Looking at the few syrups in the barrel, a slight smile appeared on his face.
He was already very happy when he was able to do it for the first time.
Soon mike divided the syrup into several small wooden molds.
"Your shoes are broken too?"
mike finished packing all the sticky maltose and was exhausted.
He sat on the chair and suddenly saw Levi's foot showing a big toe.
Levi heard mike's words, his eyes dodged a little while cleaning up the room, he lowered his head and wiped the floor, and replied with a smile:
"You can still wear it."
"I'll use the method my big brother taught me later, just make it up."
mike didn't ask again.
He looked at the narrow and low room, and the dim window.
And Levi's indented big toe, with a small goal in mind.
He believes that one day he can take Levi out of the underground and go to a sunny place.
Speaking of which, he himself has not seen the sun yet.
three days later.
mike sat slowly on the street wearing a pair of newly bought leather shoes.
He was also carrying another pair of smaller shoes.
Although the shoes made by the old man Coric in the underground street look ugly, they are very comfortable to wear.
Feeling the long-lost heat and comfort on her feet, mike couldn't help but feel a little happy.
For the first time in so many years, he has worn such comfortable shoes.
Previous shoes either leaked or failed to insulate.
Other than that, he was barefoot most of the time.
Pushing open the door, mike saw Levi who was helping him boil sugar.
"The big brother is back."
"Today I found a little girl sneaking around."
Seeing mike coming back, Levi ran over to help mike get things.
While taking a lot of things from mike's hand, he told mike what happened to him today.
"Here are boots made for you."
"See if it fits."
mike handed the boots to Levi, not paying too much attention to the sneaky little girl Levi was talking about.
Several people who spied on him like this had died in the past year.
He exchanged a piece of candy for 2 steel coins from Els.
And the wheat he bought for ten steel coins earlier made fifty pieces of candy.
Nearly ten times the profit was quickly earned by him.
But he didn't sell the remaining sugar in the underground street, that would be too risky.
Even to Els he said his candies were a gift from Levi's uncle.
After getting ten steel coins, he changed into his cleanest suit.
At the price of five steel coins, he obtained the qualification to go out to the underground shopping mall.
The passage from the underground street to the ground is monopolized by underground merchants.
Everyone who enters or exits the underground shopping mall needs to pay tolls.
With fifty candies on his body, mike went to the outside world for the first time and saw the sun for the first time.
He also wanted to go to the outside world to take a look before, but mike didn't think about his little money at all.
He gave up this extravagant idea, but now that he has something to rely on, he walked out of the underground street.
But mike didn't stay in Wangdu for too long.
He returned to the underground mall soon after selling his candy.
In Wangdu, his candy, when the highest one was a copper coin.
That is ten steel coins.
He didn't sell in one place, forty-nine pieces of candy, mike changed almost a dozen places.
mike realizes how big his sugar profit is.
A full nearly fifty times the profit.
So he needs to avoid risks, at least until he is not strong enough, he has to do things carefully.
This world is too dangerous.
"Thank you, big brother."
Levi held the new boots that mike bought for him, and he was a little reluctant to wear them.
He knew that such boots would be enough food for at least two of them for a week before they could be exchanged.
mike couldn't help but find it interesting watching Levi's movements.
"when!"
"These are the money earned this time."
"Just buy it when it wears out."
After buying shoes and some food, mike has 460 steel coins left.
He threw the steel coin and made a heavy noise on the ground.
"is this real?"
"A lot of money, big brother is amazing."
Levi opened the bag and looked at the steel coins inside, he couldn't believe it.
After all, three days ago, they were still worrying about food.
But now mike has earned so much money in just a few days.
This bag of steel coins, if exchanged for the most common food, would be enough for them to eat for several years.
"Look, what is this?"
mike took out a small paper package from his pocket and opened it.
Soon there was a scent that filled the air.
"It's actually meat, it's actually meat, this..."
Levi looked at the meat that mike stuffed into his hand, he was a little overwhelmed.
The last time he ate meat was a year ago, when his mother died, and his uncle Kenny Ackerman gave it to him.
