Volume 1 Entering the World Chapter 23 Zhang Dong Builds a House
Got up from bed early, Zhang Dong felt as if he and Gong Yin had nothing to do in the entire gathering place, of course, he definitely didn't dare to think of this idea in front of Gong Yin......
Originally, he wanted to follow Zhou Gensheng and Xiaoling to patrol around the surrounding gathering place, and by the way, slaughter some strange beasts and add attributes, but Zhou Gensheng unceremoniously rejected him.
In Zhou Gensheng's words, the area that could have been patrolled in half a day has an extra burden, and I don't know how long it will take.
Women's Mouth ...... Zhang Dong can only pinch his nose and admit it, who makes the speed of the family's full explosion, even if he can't catch up with the horse!
But if he was alone, Zhang Dong really didn't dare to get into the woods without permission, if he got lost, it would be troublesome.
Thinking that anyway, the alien beasts that he had killed scattered for more than ten days had not slaughtered a small-scale beast group attribute point, Zhang Dong was ready to relax a little and wander around the gathering place, on the one hand, to familiarize himself with his new living environment, and on the other hand, to see if he could be lucky enough to trigger a system task.
However, in the process of visiting the gathering place, Zhang Dong found that the paradise gathering place did not have any connection with the outside world.
Although the gathering place has a population of just over 600, the sparrows are small but have a lot of organs. Even when Zhang Dong was wandering around the gathering place, he found a small shop!
On the shelves of the small shop, there are really a lot of things sold, in addition to some self-made bone tools in the gathering place, there are also iron products, candles and other items that are not in the production conditions in the gathering place, and even Zhang Dong saw a few books!
And the currency used for trading in the store is exactly the same as the banknotes used in the 106 base.
With some doubts in his heart, Zhang Dong found Gong Yin.
Gong Yin explained to him with a smile that of course the base would not take so much effort to open trade routes with one gathering place after another, and the goods in the store, including the paper money used, were all obtained from the black merchants in the black market.
No matter what kind of world you are in, there are a large number of people who can do without money and life, and this is the same in this world.
Since the gathering place can survive, there must be at least one or even more abilities and enhancements in it, and these abilities will definitely kill the surrounding strange beasts in order to ensure the safety of the gathering place.
The organs on the alien beast are in short supply for each base, after all, most of the weapon production requires the addition of some specific organs on the alien beast.
These black merchants, with the goods or banknotes in the base, bought the organs of those alien beasts at a low price, and then sold them to the base to earn the difference in the middle.
Of course, it is impossible for black merchants to go to the gathering place to buy these things. Every half month, at a fixed location outside the base, black merchants will organize a black market. In the black market, what is sold is some of the necessities of life that are needed in the gathering place.
The road from the gathering place to the fixed trading place is certainly not so safe, and the transportation of goods is more cumbersome. After all, there are no vehicles in most of the gathering places. Therefore, the people who are sent to trade in the gathering place are all fortified people.
And as for why you don't send the Adept, huh...... In the past, when the black market first appeared, there were gathering places that sent supernatural people, but those supernatural people eventually became commodities traded between the black market and the base. After the spread of the black market, the gathering place no longer dared to send strangers.
However, some daily necessities cannot be dispensed with in the gathering place, so they can only send reinforcements to trade. After all, the black market of the enhancers can't make a lot of money by selling them to the base, and they are indeed much safer than the superpowers.
The small shop in the heavenly gathering place that Zhang Dong saw, all the supplies were exchanged from the black market.
"The frequency of spotting herds around the gathering place is about once every three to five days, so most of the time, you're actually quite idle. Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, Gong Yin looked at Zhang Dong and said with a smile: "How about it? Tomorrow is the day when the black market opens, go and see the world? ”
"Me?" Zhang Dong pointed to himself, "Are Xiaoling and Gensheng gone?"
Seeing the concerns in Zhang Dong's heart, Gong Yin said, "They won't go." But you don't have to worry about getting lost, there are other reinforcements in the gathering place, you just need to follow them when the time comes. ”
Patting Zhang Dong on the shoulder, Gong Yin continued: "By cleaning up the herd, your little income is not enough to pay the rent. ”
"Ahh
What is it? Why is there still rent? Is that what I have to pay for food?
"Oh, I forgot if you didn't say it, and the food money, huh...... By the way, as well as the clothes on your body, the bone knife that was damaged yesterday, it all counts. Touching his beard, the corners of Gong Yin's mouth were slightly raised.
Looking at each other with consternation, these are still charged? Then why didn't anyone mention it to themselves yesterday!
"Self-reliance, abundant food and clothing. I'm not your grandfather, so I'm not responsible for raising you, right?"
"Old man Gong...... You said...... Makes sense!"
Choked speechless, Zhang Dong was stunned for a long time before slowly giving a thumbs up, and at the same time frantically reciting "Amitabha" in his heart, in case his brain was out of his control, thinking of some words to find death.
However, Gong Yin's words gave Zhang Dong a wake-up call.
It is true that he and the other party are not related to each other, and they have no place to live for the time being, so it is understandable to live in Gong Yin's house, but since he is going to live in the heavenly gathering place for a long time, he can't always eat and drink in other people's homes, right?
Returning to his original world, Zhang Dong no longer counts. But if you want to survive in this world, you must adapt yourself to the rhythm and lifestyle of this world. Relying on the Gong Yin family, in the long run, it is very unfavorable to him......
After a long time, Zhang Dong looked at Gong Yin, who was half-squinting, and asked, "Let me ask, if a house is built in the gathering place, there is no land fee, right?"
"Well, that doesn't. ”
"Then I'll build a house myself in the afternoon!"
"Yes, but there is a fee for the materials needed to build the house. ”
"Okay! I'll cut ...... myself."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dong suddenly remembered, how can he cut it himself? Do you rely on your hands? How can you process the trees?
"It's okay, I can lend you a set of tools, but the rent is charged. Under Zhang Dong's stunned, Gong Yin walked into the house, took out a tool and put it in front of Zhang Dong, "Don't worry, I'll give you a discount." ”
In a trance, he walked out of the yard with a bunch of tools, and before leaving, Zhang Dong seemed to see Gong Yin take out a small notebook from his pocket, and he was really remembering something.
"it...... I really remember that there is an account!" Looking at the pile of tools in his hand that he had never touched before, Zhang Dong rubbed his forehead and walked towards the woods.
As Zhang Dong picked up the tools, the trees were easily cut down by Zhang Dong and carried to the open space next to Gong Yin's small courtyard.
In less than half an hour, more than a dozen trees four or five meters long were piled up in front of Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong closed his eyes and planned the appearance of the hut in his heart, rolled up his sleeves and began to dry......
When a touch of fragrance wafted out from the small courtyard on the side, Xiaoling came to Zhang Dong's side with a bowl of hot rice, "Brother Dong, let's eat." ”
"Thank you, just put it on my account, and when I have money, I'll pay it back. Taking the chopsticks handed over by Xiaoling, Zhang Dong smiled and said.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ling explained a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa doesn't mean anything else, just joking with you, Brother Dong, don't care." ”
"Old Man Gong is right, why do I blame him for the old man?" shook his head, Zhang Dong really didn't think much about Old Man Gong's words.
After all, when he was on earth, Zhang Dong's most annoying type of person was the kind of person who took the kindness of others for granted. Zhou Gensheng and Xiaoling saved themselves, the old man Gong took him in, and the other party had no such obligation, and Zhang Dong would only be grateful to them.
"That's good. Grinning and watching Zhang Dong sit on the wood and gobble it up, Xiao Ling tilted her head and looked at the parts that were cut into unknown shapes not far away, "Brother Dong, why don't Xiao Ling and Brother Gen Sheng come to help you?"
"Thank you Xiaoling, but don't need it, you Brother Dong and I will do it by hand...... It's amazing!" Zhang Dong smiled and shook his head.
If you want to integrate into this world, you must learn the way of life of this world, well! Building a house is the first step, and then you have to find out the terrain around the gathering place, and you are afraid of getting lost when you go out!
