Chapter Eighty-Five: Selling Yourself
After asking, I knew what the cold winter season was.
This is a special planetary decree that only exists in the Lonely Desert Star and many extremely cold regions. Once the temperature of the whole planet drops to a certain level, it will be implemented. All municipalities must be free and open to anyone with ethnic status. No brawls are allowed in the city, otherwise both parties involved in the brawl will be thrown out of the city and not allowed to enter the city for a month.
Creatures who are not allowed to enter the city for a month, and whose cultivation is low and do not have a particularly good way to keep out the cold will often freeze to death. At night, the temperature will be even lower, sometimes exceeding minus 300 degrees, and even if it is a general, there is a possibility of freezing to death.
Only then did Douzi notice that almost all the streets were crowded with people, lying or sitting, and all of them had no energy. The two-headed man said that these were people who had no houses in the city and could not afford to live in hotels.
"The Federation is so merciful! These slackers were allowed to go into the city for the winter. These scumbags who are greedy for life and afraid of death, do not go to the combat zone to make a living, and usually know that they are messing around, and they will nest in the city to make stench in winter. Bah! The two-headed man opened his mouth and mouthed thick phlegm at the same time. The thick phlegm flew into the crowd underground, and I don't know who it hit on the head, but the people underground didn't even lift their heads.
A wave of sadness welled up in Douzi's heart. Combat Zone? She wouldn't dare to go anyway. She didn't want Nangong Yu to go either. The fight was lively, but life and death were fighting, and she was scared just thinking about the situation where people were flying around.
"Hey, senior." A familiar voice came. Douzi followed the prestige, and saw the willow demon Liu Xiaobo painted two green eyes, one large and one small, wrapped in a tattered leather jacket, waving at her in the crowd below.
The beans stopped. The two-headed freak scoffed and flew away. "The autumn wind is coming."
Nangong Yu glanced at the willow demon, and then at the beans. "He's the willow tree you talked about."
"Well, do you want to take him with you?" Beanzi asked. The situation of the willow demon is very bad at first glance, and it belongs to the wave that can't afford to live in a hotel and can only sleep on the street.
"Whatever you want." Nangong Yu has no opinion. Most plant demons are not very aggressive, and willows are non-toxic and harmless plants, and they will not become a wolf when they are brought in.
Beanzi flew Ayako even lower and beckoned at the willow dryad.
The apprehensive willow demon immediately bowed in gratitude and thanked him, and then jumped on Ayako. He was big, but he shrunk in a corner, trying not to be next to Douzi and Nangong Yu. "Hey, I'm dirty." The Willow Demon was embarrassed.
As soon as he came up, he brought with him a pungent sour smell. I don't know how long I haven't taken a shower.
"We're going to sell something, you can show the way. Go to the most honest merchants. Beanzi said. She didn't ask the Willow Demon what she was spending her money on. She had only given him five yuan a few months earlier. That's the equivalent of 50,000 Star Coins. Willow Demon Liu Xiaobo is a general, no matter how he says it, it is unbelievable that he is so miserable.
"Then go to South City One. His family is a cosmic chain store under the Refining Weapon Sect, with hundreds of millions of stores in the starry sky, and his reputation has always been very good. ”
When it came to the Refining Weapon Sect, Nangong Yu thought of Chu Feng. Now that he has returned to the Yuan Qi Universe, it is time to contact Chu Feng. Last time, he was killed back to the world of Hyluna in a hurry, and he didn't have time to contact Chu Feng, Nangong Yu was already very guilty.
Nangong Yu immediately dialed Chu Feng's mobile phone number. Chu Feng's mobile phone was turned off as always. I had to send a text message instead. "Kaede, I've returned. All is well. Don't read it. ”
Nancheng No. 1 is the name of the shop. Not really in the South Side. It was a two-hundred-storey building. The 100 floors below are hotels, which only provide accommodation, and you can stay with your ID card.
The middle twenty floors are the shopping area.
You have to go to the 120th floor to sell an item.
On the 121st floor, there is a gate that is open to the air, so you can fly directly into it. There are four acquisition desks inside, and the queue is lined up at the door.
On the 122nd floor, you need to take the stairs or elevators. In the entire acquisition area, only the 121st floor is open to the air.
The willow demon knew that his body was too dirty, so he waited outside. Douzi and Nangong Yu climbed from 121 to 141, and the situation was just as hot, line up!
Seeing that creatures were constantly flying from the elevators and staircases, the two had to find a random service desk to queue up.
There were many children in the queue, and the child at the front cried as Beanzi wondered what these poorly dressed children had to sell.
The beautiful waitress at the desk shouted, "Don't cry, get out." Guards, drag him out. The next time I see this kind of disabled child, I will go straight out. If you have a disability, you dare to sell yourself! ”
A heavily armed guard rushed from the flank and dragged the crying child away. Bean notices that one of the child's legs has been amputated from the knee.
It turns out that these children are not selling things, but selling themselves. The price is mostly a matter of food and accommodation, and the time limit is often hundreds of years, and some are even lifelong. In other words, these children have staked their adult years on the buyer for the sake of food and clothing now.
In this kind of sale, the buyer takes advantage of it, and there is not a child who cannot sell his own. Douzi watched for a long time, except for the disabled child who was thrown out, the other children were taken to the back.
Douzi couldn't bear it several times and wanted to dissuade those children. They are still so young, how can they understand the power of it, being a slave for hundreds of years is almost no different from being a slave for life, how can it be easy to endure?
Nangong Yu kept dragging the beans and didn't let her jump out.
"Why are you stopping me? It's a big deal that I raise them. "Bean's eyes are red.
Nangong Yu smiled softly. "Zixin, it's not what you think. Most of them may be oppressed as slaves and servants, but as long as they work hard, there will always be a time to get ahead. ”
"They are all slaves, how can they get ahead?" Beans asked rhetorically.
"Actually, the one who gave me the safe spaceship also sold himself into the Refining Weapon Sect. He is now a serious disciple of the Refining Weapon Sect. "Nangong Yu didn't know that Chu Feng was already a disciple of the Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect.
"Those who are asked to sell their lives are lucky, and they will become disciples of the Refining Sect. Only those who are extremely gifted are likely to be asked to be sold for life. Said a teenager behind the beans. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he showed rare maturity.
It turns out that buying children and teenagers is one of the ways for the sect to accept disciples. Although most of these children will become miscellaneous servants, there are always some who become disciples of the sect because of talent or because of hard work or luck. And every disciple of the sect will be required to sign a deed of sale for life to the sect, and must swear to serve the sect for the rest of his life and never give up.
Not only the sects, but also many big families and big forces will use this way to recruit their relatives to expand their forces. The people of the Genki universe believe that only members recruited in this way can be trusted.
They also don't torture and bully these children as Douzi thinks. Every organization, especially a large sect like the Refining Sect that has prospered for tens of thousands of years, has a set of strict systems within it, and it is as fair as possible to achieve it in order to produce talents from generation to generation and prosper for a long time. There will definitely be squeezing, but hopefully there will be too.
In front of Douzi and Nangong Yu is a beautiful woman. She has a large golden wavy hair and a bumpy figure that makes Beans envious.
It was the blonde beauty's turn. Without saying a word, she began to undress, and in the blink of an eye, she stripped herself naked.
Douzi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly went to cover Nangong Yu's eyes. Nangong Yu's cheeks were crimson with embarrassment.
The action of the beans and Nangong Yu's embarrassment made everyone around laugh. They all stared at the beautiful woman with burning eyes.
But the beauty was unmoved, opened her arms, turned around slowly, and said in a coquettish voice. "Sold for ten years, the price is Wu Baiwan, you must pay first, and pay it in one lump sum." (To be continued.) )
