Chapter 6 - Experiment and Purchases
Tyler's garden was not big, all the vegetables were hydroponically grown, except for some corn and pumpkins, they were watered with an automatic system, in fact every garden was automatic, as the plants had their roots in the water the fertilizer itself was added to the garden. water, a large tank made a steady stream always recycling.
Thinking about the little seedling he had taken, he tried to use the same principle, threw all the cores in the tank and left it quiet, maybe tomorrow he could see some change.
Tyler ate something and kept writing down a list of everything he needed. He wanted to make the first delivery of the sale with Manager Chu and also get ready to hunt down the bunch of trolls.
Searching the internet he saw that many points were similar to Scandinavian folklore, it seems that they fear strong light and turn to stone with sunlight.
In the mission description it didn't say exactly how many there were, but it was certain that it was a very large family, possibly over thirty.
Tyler was thinking of a way to shoot them down without much work.
The city was about 60 kilometers away from where he had left.
He went to see his guns and his barrett was ready for use, Tyler had to provide ammunition and a night vision sight, as reportedly the trolls only came out at night. He wanted to use special high penetration ammunition made withtungsten core . This .50 caliber bullet could pierce a train track!
As a light weapon and support he was going to use his M4-A4, Tyler participated in many sporting shooting competitions, so he had many weapons and a special license that allowed him to buy even army-only items.
Tyler was determined to take the hunter with him, as could not always be protecting the two decided to give him a gun. Even though he was a good American and hating the communists he had to admit… the best weapon he could give that man was the AK-47.
The AK-47 is the most widely produced and used assault rifle in the world, has killed more than nuclear weapons, is on the flag of countries and is used by more than fifty armies around the world. Whether in the mud, on the beach, in the desert, in a rainforest or in the middle of a blizzard this weapon will work perfectly.
One thing you should know about old and studied Tyler Newman is that he has a weakness…
He hates the communists with all his might to the point of being a little irrational, if something or someone annoys him he won't forgive and curse the person with the worst swear word known ... communist!
He fought in Vietnam and saw horrible things, lost many friends there. No one comes back normal from a war, and that's Tyler's trauma. The funny thing is that over time various types of people became communists for him.
Vegetarians, hippies, surfers, Ku klux klan members, prius drivers, lawyers, modernist artists… The list was quite long.
Although home gardeners were on his Communist list, he didn't think he was one because he said spices and fresh foods were better for his recipes.
Well after all, after thinking a lot he decided to leave early when it came dawn to buy the hunting and trade items.
Even before sunrise Tyler was up, eating a good portion of eggs with bacon and a strengthened dose of pressure pills.
The emotions of these days made him increase his daily dose. Tyler put a trailer in his van to help him bring more things and an ATVhe was considering buying.
Their savings were about $ 200,000. He was very unconcerned about these initial investments. Future transactions with the trade guild would bring him more money than he could spend.
His main motive for trying to accomplish the troll mission was not even money, but a title of nobility awarded to those who completed it.
Being a nobleman in that world will give you many privileges that could not be granted with money alone.
Tyler's first stop was at a Walmart, pulling two strollers at once he went to the clothes section.
A package of six shirts was costing $ 13.96, each going to cost about $ 2.32. Tyler laughed as he shamelessly tossed the T-shirts into the cart, it was almost like seeing the gold coins coming!
He in the excitement filled both, and then two more and then three more, he literally emptied all the store's stock, after all the order was 1,000 units! After storing them in a corner he went to the stationery section, a box with 2,500 A4-sheet units cost $ 20.00, there were no sheets of paper in the order, but nothing prevented him from making more money. He was going to try to make a single sheet cover the full cost of the box.
Put another fifteen boxes in the cart!
Then he went to the pens, a pack of ten costing $ 3.80, with just one he would make $ 280. Tyler was never impulsive in his shopping, yet today he was getting a grip on himself.
He bought a few hundred matchboxes, and dozens more flint boxes, plus another hundred lighters. In a medieval world where all people constantly fire whether to eat or protect themselves, these items are super essential.
When he went to the cashier to pay, he looked like an old locomotive pulling several carts. The poor girl she was meeting found it very strange, but said nothing.
Tyler just threw the products into his van and went to a gun shop. He bought two camouflage uniforms, one for himself and one for Noeru, also bought all accessories, knee pads, elbow pads, helmet, radio communicator, camelbak, flashlights, etc. all items to arm a man.
He also bought some very specific items, one of which was a night vision sight for his rifle, it cost over $ 10,000, Tyler had always wished, but dared not spend so much before.
He also bought hunting-enabled motion-activated cameras, a directional microphone and a speaker.
It was already getting dark so he decided to go home.
He had to pack everything in cardboard boxes to make it easier to carry.
Tyler knew he would take a lot of equipment for the hunt and if he took them on horses he would waste a lot of time, he had already decided to buy an ATV, the ATV was like a small car made for trail and field use, Tyler had seen an online ad. of one and will buy it.
The next morning, Tyler planned to finish shopping early and return home, after all he still had to pass the scent of gallons to the little bottles.
Only now did he remember his garden, as soon as he entered the greenhouse he was amazed at the scene…
All the plants had grown overgrown, the fruits were gigantic, the strawberries the size of a clenched fist, the ears of corn the thickness of a forearm.
The whole structure of the plant had grown as a whole, its roots, stem and leaves were larger, wider and greener. They had incredible liveliness.
The crystals in the water showed no difference, did not appear to have been corroded in the least.
Despite being extremely enthusiastic, he could not help thinking about that little red plant. She had dozens of cores all to herself and didn't grow that terrifying way, she must be very special.
Curious Tyler took a big bite of that strawberry, the softness and sweetness were indescribable. The juices dripped from the corners of his mouth, he had definitely never tasted a strawberry so tasty or even something as delicious as that fruit.
It gave him a sense of freshness and vitality that he had never felt before, but just like the tea he had tasted with the manager, a kind of energy and warmth was building at the base of his stomach.
Without restraint he began to eat more and more. Unfortunately he could only eat four, Tyler did not understand why, he could clearly eat more, yet a feeling of satiety filled him, followed by a vigor and strength he had not long had.
One thing you need to know about Tyler is about his health, even though he is 70 years old, his health was not that of a 70 year old…
A person is at the same time three different ages, one is the chronological one, she is counted as the lifetime, she was actually 70, but the second age was the physiological one she is counted as someone's body state, Tyler had always exercised, eaten healthily, never smoked and rarely drank, her body could be counted as one of 57 or 59 years old, old age was mental, she refers to a person's state of mind and we have to To agree on that, Tyler was really young. His mind was constantly and strenuously exercised, although he had the calm and wisdom given by life, his head was tuned and tuned to everything that went on in the world, Tyler never missed the launch of a video game console, had hundreds games, read books with incredible speed, a week if he didn't read at least five, he would be disappointed. In short, Tyler was in his 30s of mental age.
With his strength reinvigorated to his fullest, he went on another day of shopping, put away some strawberries, and then left.
The purchase of his ATV was very fast, he chose a very simple, had a seat for two people and a small bucket behind, was fast, rustic and with good autonomy.
Tyler bought the perfumes and the glass bottles before noon he had already returned home.
He revised all of his weapons, an M4-A4 rifle for him, an AK-47 for Noeru, a .50 Barrett M82 sniper rifle with night vision sights and two Glock G25 pistols.
All of these weapons chosen were the cream of efficiency and reliability. Tyler had bought a lot of ammo and extra combs, he was afraid of having any unforeseen things he couldn't handle.
In his workshop he took the rest of the things he still needed, wire ropes, reflectors and a small generator. Before leaving he took his camera… recording moments was very important.
