Chapter 2081: The City Is True to Its Name
This cultivation is a full seven days and seven nights.
After seven days and nights, Qin Fan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the sufficient spiritual power in his body, and then looked at the blood puppet standing beside him, and smiled with satisfaction.
During this period of time, he has not only completely recovered, but also perfectly refined the previous stone famine into a blood puppet.
The previous blood puppet was completely destroyed in the battle with Xu Tianci, and now this one trained by Shi Huang has filled the gap in this regard.
"Knock knock!
As soon as Qin Fan wanted to go out, a sharp knock on the door sounded, and when he opened the door, he saw a waiter-looking person with a panicked face.
"Guest officer, hurry up and get out, the people from the law enforcement team are here, it's time to collect the living fee, if you go out late, I'm afraid that you will inevitably have a meal of flesh and skin!"
"Housing expenses? What the hell?"
Qin Fan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what this was, but after listening to the waiter's introduction, he could be regarded as having some understanding of it.
"Guest officer, you, don't you even know the tradition of our gold-absorbing city? ”
"In the words of our city lord, that is, if you set foot in our gold-absorbing city, you must be prepared to shed a layer of skin......!"
"What? And this rule?"
Qin Fan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but shake his head, in this way, this gold-absorbing city is really a city as its name suggests.
And Qin Fan was as sensitive as he was at the moment, and he didn't want to cause trouble for a while, so after thinking about it, he went downstairs with the waiter and came to the hall on the first floor.
At this moment, there are already a lot of soldiers and armor in the hall, and several people in charge are collecting living expenses one by one as if they were cutting wheat.
After watching it for a long time, Qin Fan also roughly saw the doorway, generally, those people from the law enforcement team would test everyone's cultivation first, and then charge according to their cultivation.
As for the standard of fees, it is judged by the spirit coins circulating in the Xuan Yu Domain.
In the early stage of the Tianzun Realm, they will only receive 2,000 spirit coins, while those in the middle of the Tianzun Realm will collect 5,000 spirit coins, and in the later stage of the Tianzun Realm, it will become 10,000.
As for the peak level of the Tianzun Realm, 20,000 Half-Emperor level will be charged directly, and in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, this residence fee can be waived.
And an ordinary Tianzun Realm early stage powerhouse, the total income of a year is only five thousand spirit coins, that is to say, one income from living expenses can make them work for nothing for half a year.
was so harsh that Qin Fan couldn't stand it for a while.
However, when the people from the law enforcement team came to him and charged him for his living expenses, Qin Fan thought about it and took out a seventh-grade high-grade elixir.
The market price of a seventh-grade high-grade elixir here is 20,000 spirit coins.
After the payment was completed and registered, Qin Fan walked out of the door of this post station, wanting to leave this relatively bad city as soon as possible.
However, when he walked out into the street, he saw a scene that made him instantly angry.
Originally, Qin Fan thought that the City Lord's Mansion in this gold-absorbing city was just a living fee for people above the Tianzun Realm who were quite capable and used it for the construction of his own city, which was understandable.
But what I never expected was that even the cultivators below the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and even the primitive inhabitants who had no cultivation at all, were all exploited by such perverts!
Monks below the Tianzun realm will receive 800 spirit coins uniformly, and as for civilians who don't even have cultivation, it will be 300 spirit coins!
You must know that the annual income of monks below the Tianzun realm is 1,000, and now that the living expenses are collected, they are equivalent to working for nothing for half a year!
And the common people are even more miserable, they can only earn a meager profit through various service industries every year, which adds up to less than 500, and the living fee will be charged 300!
Even, when Qin Fan casually found someone and asked, when the living expenses of the Golden City were collected once every few years, he actually got the answer that he would receive two times a year!
Moreover, all the original residents of the city cannot leave the gold-absorbing city for half a step for the rest of their lives, otherwise they will be killed!
As far as outsiders are concerned, they have to pay an equally expensive departure fee when they leave! If they encounter a hard stubble and refuse to pay, the seven and a half emperors in the city lord's mansion will kill them in an instant!
As for reporting the situation in the city to the Xuanyou Ancient City, there is no satisfactory answer at all, and now in this world, human life is as cheap as grass mustard, and no one will care about this idle matter.
Such a harsh government is simply trying to make this place a rhythm of people's livelihood!
In fact, the gold-absorbing city has now become a scene of poor livelihood for the people.
"My lord, please, you, you can be gracious! My old lady was seriously ill before, and in order to treat her, she has spent all her savings! Actually, I really can't take out the three hundred spirit coins, please raise your noble hand and drag it back! Next time, next time I, I will definitely ...... Ahh
"Fuck you!"
A city lord's armor kicked a young man to the ground, and he was still swearing and scolding, without the slightest sign of pity.
"You said that last time, plus this time there is interest, a total of eight hundred spirit coins!
"Ahem, ahem!"
Because the young man had no cultivation, he was kicked by him and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the old man with a withered face on crutches on the side saw this, and hurriedly cried and wiped his tears, trying to help his son up.
"There is no reason, there is really no reason! The world is so unfair, God! You, why don't you open your eyes and take a look! Woo woo ......"
"Grass! Dare to criticize the city lord's strategy for controlling the city behind your back?
As he spoke, the armorer took out his war knife and put it directly on the old lady's neck: "Hmph, looking at your sick appearance, you don't have much ability to make money, and living is just a burden on the living." ”
"I'm going to kill you! In this way, your son will probably have money!"
"Flutter!"
The soldier fell with a knife, and the old lady fell to the ground immediately, killing Jiuquan, but except for a deep blood mark on her neck, there was no blood flowing.
The perennial poverty and starvation have made the yellow-skinned old lady have no blood to shed.
"Ahh
......
Similar scenes are also being staged in different places on the street and alley at the same time.
In another place, a middle-aged man was also kicked to the ground by a group of armor soldiers, and after a blast, those armor soldiers dragged a timid daughter next to him.
"Hey...... I said Lin Gang, your daughter is quite smart, okay! This time, you don't have to pay the living expenses, so you will take your daughter! Hahaha......
"Count yourself lucky, it just so happens that our city lord needs the assistance of the Ding Furnace for her recent practice, and your daughter should still be a virgin at first glance, right? ”
“......”
As soon as she heard the Ding Lu, the girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but unusually thin, suddenly cried "Wow!"
She once had a playmate who was captured and used as the furnace of the city lord's practice, and in the end, she became a dry skeleton and was thrown on the street! No wonder she was so scared.
"Dad, Dad, save me, save me, I, I don't want it, don't want it......"
Looking at his daughter's hoarse cry for help and crying, the middle-aged man looked sad and helpless, and his eyes looked a little dull and wooden.
In this regard, even if he has the heart to save him, he really has no choice.
In the end, after seeing his daughter being taken into the prisoner car, the whole person collapsed instantly, and after laughing wildly a few times, he hit his head on the stone pillar on the side!
Suddenly, blood splattered five steps, and she died of exhaustion, and the little girl's crying stopped abruptly.
In the eyes of that middle-aged man, this gold-absorbing city is completely a purgatory on earth, and here, life is better than death.
This scene is tragic and desolate, Qin Fan has a full view, his hands are already clenched into fists, and the face under the black gauze hat is even more gloomy to the extreme.
Where is there still half of the city's vitality in this gold-absorbing city? Even the most basic human nature no longer exists here.
Qin Fan really wanted to make a move, however, he understood that once he made a move to save these poor people, he would inevitably stand on the opposite side of the City Lord's Mansion completely.
A big war, inevitable.
At that time, I am afraid that his identity will be exposed, because in this gold-absorbing city, there are no less than 100 portraits of himself that he has seen!
Under each portrait, a high bounty is also marked!
Revealing his identity before arriving at the teleportation array in Xuanyou City was definitely not something Qin Fan wanted to see.
