Chapter 692: The City That Never Sleeps
After all, Jiang Shaoyou is not the kind of person who is very obsessed with money, so for this kind of work that can only be carried out by one person and there is no way to let others do it for him, cleaning up the treasure, he was only excited for a while at the beginning, but as this kind of work was repeated repeatedly, Jiang Shaoyou gradually lost interest, and after looking at the cleaning for a long time, it was only a sharp hill that was cut off, and Jiang Shaoyou suddenly retreated with a bitter face!
Never mind...... This work can't be done in a day or two, so I thought I might as well take my time! I'm still in the United States, which means that I haven't escaped from danger yet, so I have to be vigilant at all times. You can't just use up the plasma energy that you just filled up with just in order to sort out these treasures! Otherwise, those damn rice devils will really find me again, isn't this a dead end?
After stopping and finding a reason for himself to be lazy, Jiang Shaoyou was even more reluctant to do it, and then began to hear the "gurgling" in his stomach.
Speaking of which, Jiang Shaoyou has not had teeth for almost two days, which means that his physique is amazing, and there is also a huge amount of life energy in his body, so he can always maintain a state of vitality, otherwise if it is someone else, if he doesn't eat or drink for two days, I'm afraid he will be so hungry that he can't even walk, even if you give him a treasure mountain, he won't have the strength to move!
In fact, theoretically speaking, as long as Jiang Shaoyou still has blue crystal energy in his body, then even if he doesn't eat for ten days and half a month, it will not be a problem at all, how the body cells should be metabolized or how to metabolize, and it will not be affected by the problem of food at all.
But it's one thing to starve and die without eating, but it's another thing to go hungry without eating. The feeling of being empty in my stomach is just as uncomfortable as it is for anyone. Unless Jiang Shaoyou will directly open the valley from now on and never eat any food again, then or after a few months, Jiang Shaoyou will get used to not eating, and all the energy consumed by life will be directly replenished with blue crystal energy.
At that time, Jiang Shaoyou's gastrointestinal function may also slowly deteriorate, and gradually he will no longer be able to eat anything, and if he eats something occasionally, he will make himself very uncomfortable!
It's just that Jiang Shaoyou didn't think about becoming an immortal, so why should he play Bigu? When the time comes, it doesn't seem to be fun to play yourself as a person or a ghost!
What's more, sometimes people eat not necessarily to survive, but also to enjoy the taste of food, if you really don't eat in the future, wouldn't it make Jiang Shaoyou lose one less pleasure in life from now on?
Speaking of food, Jiang Shaoyou couldn't help but think of the Huaxia restaurant he went to on the first day he came to Newtown, the old Bai family shop in Chinatown.
Look at the time it's almost midnight now, and I don't know if the old Bai family store has a feint! If it is in China, at this time, unless it is a barbecue restaurant specializing in night business, the general restaurant will definitely be closed a long time ago. But it's Newtown, the city with the richest nightlife in the world, and many people here have just started their nightlife at midnight, so ...... It's no surprise that some hotels and restaurants are also open during this time.
Anyway, Jiang Shaoyou's gluttony has already been hooked out, and now that he thinks of the old Bai family's store, he naturally has to go and see it first anyway. If the old Bai family store is not open, it doesn't matter if you find a restaurant in Chinatown, anyway, Jiang Shaoyou has no love for foreign devils' Western food!
It wasn't until he came out of the space artifact that Jiang Shaoyou looked at the wrinkled and tattered clothes on his body again, and felt that if he went to Chinatown like this, he was afraid that it would be easy to cause misunderstanding among others, even if people didn't treat him as a fugitive, they would probably think he was a beggar.
In addition, the clothes Jiang Shaoyou is wearing now are actually the same set that was taken off Ono Jiro's body at the beginning, God knows if there will be some smell on Ono Jiro on this dress, and then it will not be good for Mi Jun to use this as a clue to find him!
Fortunately, there were a lot of washed work clothes hanging there in the laundry room of this factory, so Jiang Shaoyou took a set and changed it. Although it looks a bit nondescript to wear such a set of factory overalls on the street, there is nothing to be picky about now! As for the clothes worn by Ono Jiro that he had just changed, he was casually received into the space artifact by Jiang Shaoyou. This dress is received inside, which means that it has been sent to another world, presumably even if there is something like a tracker on this clothes, it is completely blocked, and no one can track him according to this suit anymore.
After changing his clothes, and then wandering to the street to take a taxi to Chinatown, Jiang Shaoyou suddenly realized...... He doesn't seem to have any money on him!
In fact, when Jiang Shaoyou was about to infiltrate the research institute as Jiro Ono outside the future science and technology research institute, he easily threw away a lot of messy things on his body, leaving only some important things.
Compared with the needle box and the mysterious stone box, things like wallets are, of course, nothing important. And after Jiang Shaoyou stripped off Ono Jiro's clothes and put them on, he didn't find that Ono Jiro had a wallet on his body. You must know that this guy basically gets a chance to go out once every other year, and he naturally doesn't usually bring any money with him, and once he wants to go out, he will be followed by a large group of bodyguards, as well as Mi soldiers accompanying him to monitor and protect.
It's like paying the bill for a meal, tipping a beautiful waitress or something, these things will naturally be done by someone, and Ono Jiro himself will naturally not carry a wallet on him, so ...... After impersonating Jiro Ono, Jiang Shaoyou has never had money on him since then!
If you don't have the money to pay the bills, is it possible to go to eat the overlord meal?
If Jiang Shaoyou is going to go to an ordinary rice restaurant, then it doesn't matter if he eats a bully meal, but if he wants to go to a restaurant opened by a Chinese person, he must not do such a shameful thing.
Looks like we have to find a place to change some money first! Although Jiang Shaoyou's space artifact still has a huge treasure, it is estimated that a little thing can be cut off from it, and it is estimated that it will be enough for one person to eat and drink for a year and a half. But the question is...... These things are not money, you can't go to the meal after eating, put the wine glass on the table, and shouted: "Little Er, how many taels of silver is this meal?" ”
Whether it is gold, silver or copper, in ancient times it could be spent as money, but nowadays people only recognize paper money! No way...... Even if you have money, you have to spend it!
Although it is said that with Jiang Shaoyou's skills, if you want to spend some money casually, whether it is stealing or robbing, it is not a matter at all, and it is not a matter that can be done with a single move?
But...... Jiang Shaoyou didn't want to do this. Everyone has their own bottom line, Jiang Shaoyou can come to the Future Science and Technology Research Institute of the United States for the country and steal back important technical information for the country, but he is unwilling to steal the wallet of an ordinary citizen of the United States on the streets of the United States in order to have a meal.
Anyway, if you don't eat for a while, you won't be hungry, so Jiang Shaoyou is going to go to Mehattan to have a look...... Maybe there's a gold shop that's still open at midnight or something, so Jiang Shaoyou can casually sell a piece of the gold that was cut off from the treasure, and then won't there be money to spend?
The road from here to Mehattan is not close, Jiang Shaoyou has no money to take a taxi, so he has no choice but to repeat the old trick, and find a passing truck again, seeing that there is no one nearby, Jiang Shaoyou jumped, but when he was in mid-air, the whole person "swished" into the space artifact and disappeared, and finally only a small metal ball remained, which fell on the goods in the truck with a "pop......
After changing cars twice along the way, Jiang Shaoyou finally took a hitchhike and came to the most prosperous neighborhood in Newshengton-Mehattan.
Sure enough, it is a famous city that never sleeps in the world, and after Jiang Shaoyou drilled out the space artifact in a corner, he was so flashed by the rows of dazzling neon lights in front of him that he couldn't raise his head.
And then I found out that there is really a jewelry store not far away, and not only does that jewelry store not pretend, it seems that there are still a lot of customers hanging out in the store!
Jiang Shaoyou was overjoyed, so he hurriedly walked over.
"Welcome to ......"
The welcome lady standing at the door saw Jiang Shaoyou coming over, and hurriedly bowed politely, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she found that Jiang Shaoyou was actually wearing a set of work clothes.
You know, their jewelry store is a well-known boutique in Mehattan, and the jewellery and gold and silver jewellery sold here are no less than $100,000! Therefore, their jewelry store is also called an "aristocratic store", which means that people who have no money simply cannot afford to spend here.
But now...... There was actually a man with an obvious Asian face who walked in here wearing a work suit! What the hell is this trying to do? It's not like stealing!
Fortunately, although the welcome lady had serious doubts about Jiang Shaoyou's purpose, under her good professionalism, she didn't say anything low-minded, she still patiently continued to maintain a charming smile, and said, "May I ask this gentleman, is there anything I can help you?" ”
Jiang Shaoyou smiled when he heard this: "I really have something to ask you for help, hehe...... I've got a piece of gold here, and I'd like to sell it to your store for some cash, right? ”
