Chapter 3 Earn some pocket money

The life in Qingshan City is said to be comfortable, but it is only relative. And in fact, if it is really a comfortable place, how can the federal government be willing to let it be so idle and wasteful?

After all, although this place is a little more remote and the terrain is a little steeper, because of this fast-flowing river, this is not a relationship of isolation from the world.

At least, the Federation's hovering buses can still pass unimpeded, and the birds and beasts among the alien beasts are naturally the same.

In the final analysis, the environment here is too barren and difficult.

But it's hard, but it's not without its benefits.

After all, although the environment here is a bit harsh, but because of its unique geographical advantages, as well as the relatively safe living environment although poor, it is a rare treasure for fifth-class citizens with poor ability, poor ability, and even worse qualifications.

Although, it is only the part of the fifth-class citizens who "do not want to make progress".

Well, it's about the same for Charlene, who is also unenterprising.

Even, for Charlene, it may be even more like a fish in water.

The reason why Qingshan City can be a remote and barren valley city, but it has been in the Federation for a long time, and has not been submerged in countless border cities, relies on some special products unique to Qingshan City.

Of course, this specialty does not refer to two unreliable fish, round juvenile fish and xun fish, but a special fern - coral fern.

As its name suggests, the coral fern looks like a coral growing on a meadow, and is a kind of fern that likes dryness, is drought and heat resistant, but does not get wet at all.

At the same time, it is also a second-order mutant plant rich in extremely abundant fire-based energy.

The existence of this specialty is also the reason why Charlene once suspected that there was a very likely volcano under Qingshan City.

After all, Charlene is not familiar with the natural "landscape" of volcanoes. But some of the simplest realizations are still there.

And this place, in Charlene's heart, is very much in line with the characteristics of the volcano.

However, since the people of Qingshan City have lived here for generations, there is no problem. Presumably, even if it is a volcano, it is an extinct volcano, or a volcano with an extremely long active cycle, right?

After all, the geologists of the future world are not vegetarians, are they?

So, these absolute forces are not something that Charlene will worry about.

What worries her is......

Handing over the only few coral ferns in the basket to Aunt Zhao, who was looking at her with a smile, Xia Lin's face showed a little shyness and apology, "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhao, I only found this one today......"

His eyes wandered around the basket in Charlene's hand, and he saw that there were not many coral ferns in Charlene's basket. But each one was in excellent condition, and the smile on Aunt Zhao's face became more and more kind and kind.

You must know that although the coral fern is a specialty of Castle Peak City, not everyone can be lucky enough to dig it, especially when it is not the season for coral ferns to mature.

Charlene was able to find a coral fern in such good condition. Even if the number is much less, it is not easy enough.

At least, for Aunt Zhao, who needs to buy a large number of coral ferns every day for her son's cultivation, but because the rainy season is approaching, coral ferns are almost extinct, Charlene is definitely one of her most important sources of coral ferns every day.

"Oh, Xiaoqing is so polite. Xiaoqing is willing to sell these coral ferns to the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt is already very grateful......"

Aunt Zhao's face was half polite, half warm.

I can't say whether it's true or not, but it's just a smile with a picture at first glance, and it's hard to make people really warm.

But it's also. The one in front of him is one of the few "high-level" martial artists in Qingshan City, and he is also a fire-type powerhouse!

As the "master" of this small mountain town, Aunt Zhao naturally has its proud capital.

Charlene's face was half shy. Half of it was an alienated smile, and he didn't answer the other party's words much, just smiled implicitly, stared at the other party, and waited for the other party to "settle the money" for him.

Zhao Xiangqing, the son of Aunt Zhao, was one of the few people who were almost the same as the original owner's ability level when Xia Lin first arrived in this small city.

Of course, it's just that the ability level is about the same.

When it comes to the real fight, which is stronger and which is weaker, but it is a different situation.

After all, each ability will have a big gap because of the different abilities of their abilities, the different directions of attack, and even the different acquired environment.

For example, Charlene's original master's ability to control plants, although it is said to be the same strong and easy to control, the combat effectiveness is not weak, and it is even a few points stronger than Zhao Xiangqing.

But if you are facing Zhao Xiangqing head-on, then you have to consider the restraining effect between each other's abilities, actual combat experience, and even psychological elements, etc.

And if it is against mutated animals and plants, the lethality and actual combat power in the wild jungle are another matter.

This is also the reason why the Federation has divided two different rating standards for warriors and hunters in the assessment of the supernatural.

But even so, for the place of Qingshan City, the other party is already very powerful.

Even, it was so powerful that even in front of Xia Lin, a person who saw that she had a great background, and even the city lord was polite and courteous to her, she dared to bring a little contempt.

But......

The other party didn't dare to really offend Charlene, after all, the news faintly leaked from the city lord, this girl in front of her who seemed to be a little weird except for her abilities, but was able to make low-level plants not only not hurt her, but even took the initiative to make way for her, was a delicate and useless girl at all, but she was a nobleman.

Whether the ability is strong or not, for Aunt Zhao, it may be the capital and lifeline to show off, and it is also her standard for measuring a person.

But people with strong backgrounds, she knows better that she can't be provoked casually.

Smiled and settled the account for Xia Lin, Aunt Zhao was rare not only not to be as arrogant as when she received other people's coral ferns, but even greedy for ink, and even gave a few more coins.

However, after a faint glance at the virtual frame on the wrist device and making sure that the coins on the money card she provided had arrived, the smile on Charlene's face finally became a little sincere.

After saying goodbye to the other party, Charlene walked slowly away with her basket that didn't contain many things.

There were only a few wild vegetables in this basket, but she had prepared them for another "client".

Sell these wild vegetables, and she can have a small income.

Belch...... Or rather, pocket money?

After all, even if this money is added up, it is not even a fraction of the monthly government/government allowance of the fifth-class citizens of the Federation.

But Xia Lin followed most people in Qingshan City every day like a routine, going out early and returning late every day to look for coral ferns, and going to Aunt Zhao's place to exchange money, which is really a very incomprehensible thing.

Belch......

Or is this the taste and life experience of a noble lady?

In the eyes of all the residents of Qingshan City, Xia Lin, who is obviously a noble lady, whether in terms of clothing or appearance, is more like a girl from a family who is a daughter of a big girl who puts the gorgeous clothes and delicacies of the big city and does not enjoy it, but goes to a poor ravine like them to experience life, which is originally a very puzzling thing.

Not to mention that although Charlene relies on her own abilities to walk safely in the alien plants, she is only limited to the alien plants, and when she encounters alien beasts, her crisis is the same.

If it weren't for the city lord pressing on it, presumably in the hearts of many people, Charlene would be linked to "brain problems".

And in the past few months, if it weren't for Charlene's consistent unhurried pace of life and her indomitable spirit even though she looked shy and delicate, she actually had another kind of perseverance, and there would have been more and more people in Qingshan City who bet that Charlene would be able to survive here for a few days.

Charlene didn't care what others thought, she only knew that in the months she had been here, she had not only finally found a "stable and calm" living environment that matched her heart, but also unexpectedly found crops that suited her rubble space.

Although there is only one species of coral fern, and the success rate of transplantation still needs to be improved.

As for the round juvenile fish and these wild vegetables that can be eaten by accident but are very few in quantity......

Well, these are the perks.

Xia Lin's second customer is the owner of the only restaurant in Qingshan City, Liu Jieming, Liu Yishou.

I remember that when Charlene first heard this name, she couldn't help but think of the "keep a hand" that she often saw in martial arts novels in her previous life.

In fact, Liu Jieming does have a hand at cooking, at least for Charlene, if she has to come out every now and then to show her "eating function", then she prefers to eat the meals made by this chef Liu.

So......

This is the food money she brought with her, right?

Right, huh?!

Seeing Xia Lin coming, Liu Xia greeted him directly.

"Xiaoqing, are you back?"

"Brother Liu." Xia Lin's little face showed a light smile with a little warmth, and then handed over the basket in her hand, "Here you go." ”

Liu Jieming looked down at the wild vegetables in Charlene's basket, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then reached out and played with them a few times. "New varieties?"

In Liu Jieming's restaurant, there are naturally vegetables in the original, but because these vegetables are just cultivated by the federal with gene fluid, the taste is really average, and the price is expensive, and it is not suitable for more than one use for Qingshan City, a place where there are only two suspension buses to and from the outside world every month, so the meals he makes have always been meat-based.

There are all kinds of meat every day, and even those who love meat can't bear it.

That's why people here are turning their minds to native plants. RP
