Chapter 66: The Land of Poverty
Tang Dou took Lin Xiao out again.
Little Pepper couldn't figure out what Tang Dou wanted to do now, and he couldn't feel whether Tang Dou was good or bad. Staying by Tang Dou's side, Lin Xiao always felt that Tang Dou was a dangerous, insidious and treacherous villain, but whenever she was alone and began to slowly analyze everything Tang Dou did, she found that under those evil appearances, everything Tang Dou did was with good intentions.
Because of such a completely contradictory judgment, Lin Xiao didn't know what to do. All she could do was continue to follow Tang Dou - after all, she had no other choice.
"Maid, come here!" Tang Dou pulled Lin Xiao out of the door, walked around the old street for more than half an hour, and then beckoned Xiao Pepper to walk in front of him.
That hateful tooth-itching attitude made Lin Xiao want to bite this thing to death in a few bites, but he could only step forward obediently: "What are you doing?" β
"Where in the city are the poorest people?" Tang Dou asked.
"Poor? More than eighty percent of the people in this city are poor! Lin Xiao looked at Tang Dou with disdain, thinking that the other party had asked a stupid question.
"Look, if I don't look at you a little, you won't come out with your head? Come to think of it, are the poor you are talking about the same thing as the poor you are talking about? Tang Dou's face was unfathomable.
Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a while, only then did he understand what Tang Dou meant by being poor, nothing more than referring to people like her, who not only lived at the bottom of the entire city, but also had no power to rely on.
"There are the most such people in Poland Street, which is considered the poorest place in the human-controlled area, next to the demon clan-controlled area, almost ten years ago, the demon clan also drove a group of guys who were not welcomed there to the adjacent Pig's Tooth Street in Poland, and those two streets are now almost the poorest places in the entire city of Kinunu. A lot of people who can't survive are waiting there to die! Lin Xiao paused for a moment and said, "Tinker Bell was picked up by me there!" β
"Well, okay, let's go there!" Tang Dou nodded.
"Who are you going to help?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"Help? No, no, no, I just wanted to see if there were any suitable slaves there. Didn't I say that? I'm going to do the slave trade. Where else in the world could there be better than these two poor streets in the city of Kinunu? Just give those people a little food to eat, and they can do anything for me. Tang Dou laughed, his face full of copper smell.
"They're already suffering enough, and you're going to torture them?" Lin Xiao looked at Tang Dou dissatisfied.
But Tang Dou didn't answer her, just looked at her playfully.
Lin Xiao remembered what Tang Dou had said to him yesterday, and understood a little, and then said: "Those unscrupulous businessmen have thought about your idea before, and the gangs in the city have also thought about it, but none of them have succeeded, do you know why?" β
"Oh? Why? Tang Dou was actually curious, no one did such a big deal? Although his purpose was not really to be a slave trader, he did not believe that the gangs in the city were all good men and women, and they would not eat such a large piece of meat.
Lin Xiao looked at Tang Dou and said word by word: "Because it's the real poor people there." They are so poor that they don't even have the ability to survive. Those people are either too old or too young, and the right age is either seriously ill or disabled, and occasionally a few people who are healthy and age-appropriate are all mud that can't hold up the wall than Ban Zhenming. Such a person, there is no one to take in at all, no one needs it! β
After Xiao Pepper finished speaking, she stared at Tang Dou, wanting to see a trace of disappointment and chagrin on his face, but it was she who was disappointed in the end.
"Silly boy, I just told you yesterday that a person's value cannot be completely zeroed. Even if it's a super sludge, as long as he's healthy, we can use it to test drugs, and we can use it as a target, and if it's an injury, the value is even higher, and we can get more results from drug experiments from them. And if these people are cured, they will be grateful to me, and it will be much easier to arouse them. And those who are old, they are old but experienced, can they live to old age in this chaotic place, can they not have any ability? As for the young ones, just cultivate them slowly. β
Tang Dou's words were like a demon's whisper, which made Lin Xiao deeply shudder. She suddenly had a feeling that if she took this guy in front of her to Poland Street, she would definitely set off a terrible storm.
"What? Scared? Tang Dou saw through Lin Xiao's mind and smiled faintly.
Little Pepper's pretty face turned red all of a sudden: "What am I afraid of, anyway, you will die by yourself." I don't have anything to worry about! β
"Then let's go, if I die, won't it be good for you to be free?" Tang Dou laughed and walked in the direction that Lin Xiao had said before.
Lin Xiao stood in place and was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that although he wanted to swallow Tang Dou a few bites, why did he never want Tang Dou to die? Why is that?
"I say, maid, how long are you going to stand there?" Ahead, Tang Dou's annoying voice sounded again. Little Pepper gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll see how you die!" After saying that, he quickly followed.
In fact, what Tang Dou said was just a matter of concept. Tang Dou's previous life was a low-martial arts world in layman's terms, and the overlord of Chu was so bullish that he was definitely the first in the world's martial arts, but he could only kill a few hundred people when he drove Wushuang, surrounded by Liu Bang's thousands of people, and finally the depressed Wujiang killed himself.
The same thing is different in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, not to mention the top diamond-level powerhouses, even if they take a jade-level, or even crystal-level, they can come and go as freely as they can in the million-level army, of course they can't kill more than a million army, but unless this million-level army is all composed of gold-level, it is impossible to stop these strong people.
In fact, even if it is the army of the elf clan, the average army is at the ninth level of silver, the main force of the demon clan is about the fifth level of silver, and the regular army is about the ninth level of bronze. The most elite troops of the human race are around the first level of silver, the main force is at the seventh level of bronze, and the conventional troops are only level three of bronze.
To put it simply, even if it is the current Tang Dou, if he is under the siege of the millions of main forces of the human race, as long as he has enough preparations in advance, he can still fight his way out of the encirclement.
This is the difference between the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, because it is a high-martial world, so the role of personal force is infinitely magnified, and the master can only be dealt with by the master, and if you want to use a large army to deal with the master, unless the master fights to the death, it can only be a joke.
Because of this, in the Thousand Soul Spirit Clam to judge whether a person is useful or not, the first thing to look at is strength, the second is to look at technology, and the third is to look at appearance and identity. A person with no strength, no technology, no face, no chest and no identity is a complete waste in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm.
This situation is even better in the three main continents, after all, an overall orderly society will have more capacity, so that the whole society can accommodate useless waste in their minds, but it is different in the Fog Hidden Continent, this is a place where the law of the jungle has been magnified to the limit, even the only place of peace, Kinunu City, is no exception. Waste that is useless can only be left to fend for itself. In fact, if it weren't for the fear of driving all these people out of the city at once, it would cause too much trouble. The people of Poland Street and Pig's Tooth Street have long since been driven out of the city.
Tang Dou and Lin Xiao soon came to Poland Street.
The custom of the Thousand Souls Realm is to only name the main street, and the subsidiary streets connected to the main street are referred to by code, generally speaking, a block, which refers to a large area near the main street. According to Lin Xiao's introduction, there are almost 60,000 people living in the block of Poland Street alone. Although this slum is not as dangerous as the abandoned streets, it is indeed the most difficult place to live in the city. People starve to death here every day. Every day, people are driven in to fend for themselves.
The only evil that Poland Street does not have is cannibalism, because this is an extremely sensitive sin in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, even in the city of Kinunu, it is forbidden, and if anyone does such a thing, they will be killed. But apart from this, people who are struggling here can do anything in order to survive.
Tang Dou had barely entered Poland Street for less than fifty steps, when three hungry women who looked like skinned skeleton monsters came up to him and asked him if he wanted to serve.
Let's not say that Tang Dou doesn't have this hobby, even if he really has this hobby, he has to react when he sees the image of these three.
Looking at the gray eyes of the three women who were about to starve to death, Tang Dou beckoned to them: "Want to eat?" β
The eyes of the three women, who were already desperate, lit up and nodded together.
Tang Dou took out three pieces of dry food from his waist bag, not big, even a child can eat two of them in one go, he only gave one piece to each of the three women, and when the three of them gobbled up the food, and looked at him again, he smiled and said, "Do you still want to eat?" β
The three women, of course, nodded.
"Do me something!" Tang Dou said.
The three women nodded again. Equivalent exchange, this is the basic rule of Kinun City, no one wants to get something for nothing, because when someone can make them get something for nothing, it is often their lives that they pay in the end.
"Gather all the people you know, all the people like you, and I'll only give you half an hour, understand? For every one of you calls, I will give you a piece of dry food like the one you just called, and the more people you call, the more dry food you will get. But the time is only half an hour, you can't rob each other, if the same person and all three of you know each other, then even if the three of you are together, you can divide it yourself. After half an hour, those who did not return should abstain. In the end, whoever does the best, I will take her as my slave, how about it? β
Tang Dou's words did not arouse any disgust from the three women, but instead knelt down to kowtow to Tang Dou with tears in pain, and then trotted away with difficulty. For them who are hovering on the verge of death, no one wants to be slaves, and now someone is willing to accept them as slaves, which is their chance to live, in the face of the chance to live, how can they not fight desperately?
"What do you want to do? Are you still interested in these women? After Lin Xiao and the three women left, he looked at Tang Dou with disgust. Although she knew that Tang Dou had two stunning fiancΓ©es, it was impossible for her to fall in love with such a woman, but she always felt a little disgusted - she didn't discriminate against those women, and they just had no choice. But she disliked Tang Dou and these women together.
"You're bigger than me. Alright, let's take a look around here and wait for the women to come back. Tang Dou smiled, and walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back.
"Why are you looking for these women? In your words, the value of no one will go to zero, but I don't see the value of these women, they are pitiful, but what can they do? There are quite a lot of such people in Poland Street, they sell their bodies in exchange for a chance to live, but they don't know anything, and most of them are sick and can't live long! Lin Xiao didn't understand what Tang Dou was going to do.
"Observe more, think more. My maid, you have a lot to learn, a lot to learn! Tang Dou's appearance as a teacher made Lin Xiao want to shoot this thing to death with the sole of his shoe.
Tang Dou was dressed brightly, and some of the accessories hanging on his body also showed that he was extraordinary. Although Lin Xiao is wearing a maid's outfit, the fabric is definitely a first-class product, and ordinary small rich families are not necessarily willing to wear it, such a combination appeared on Poland Street, which immediately attracted countless eyes.
After Tang Dou walked for a few minutes, he was surrounded by a few green-skinned gangsters, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, Tang Dou glanced over and put these guys down, even if he only exposed his silver-level strength, here in Poland Street, it is equivalent to the monster level, and before he could say anything, several greenskins began to slap themselves, just hoping that Tang Dou could let them go.
Tang Dou looked at a few green skins with a smile and didn't speak, but as long as any of the green skins dared to stop, or if they used a little lighter force, the murderous aura would immediately rush over, so several green skins could only grit their teeth and keep inciting. Before Tang Dou opened his mouth, they could only incite the world until they were old.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the three women finally returned with more than twenty women, the oldest of whom looked to be in their sixties and seventies, and the youngest who looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. In this Polish street, there is no lower limit to everything except that no one eats people.
Lin Xiao only found out at this time that Tang Dou seemed to have prepared early, and he found a large amount of dry food in his pocket that was theoretically impossible to completely fit into that small pocket, first gave one piece to each of the women who were called, and then gave the three women who were the first to share the amount promised to them.
"Now, I'll give you a mission!" Tang Dou smiled like a rich man who was angry and wealthy. (To be continued.) )
