Chapter 42: Making Money to Redeem Gems
Xiaobai lived here temporarily, and during the day, he followed the autumn night leaves, the mother and daughter in early summer everywhere "Taobao", and the valuable circuit board was turned out of the garbage heap of the electronics factory last time, and there was no special surprise in recent days. The three of them were busy for two days, tired and sweaty, covered in black paint, and only earned more than 200 shell coins, barely able to eat.
Qiu Yeye: "Xiaobai, I'll take Xiaoxia from tomorrow, you go find a place to Taobao yourself, otherwise, at this rate of making money, your 1,000 shell coins will be hopeless, and your ruby will belong to me!"
Xiaobai: "Thank you, Sister Qiu." ”
The next day, Xiaobai simply ate breakfast made by the autumn night leaves, said goodbye to the mother and daughter, and went out to "Taobao". He didn't have much experience, so he walked around the streets.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and the crowd hurried to the sides of the street. Then there was the sight of a strong man, riding on a stout and tall animal, roaming the streets with impunity. I saw that the animal had a hard horn above its nose, a long tail, and many saber teeth on its back, and the ground shook with every step it took! But such a ferocious creature had a saddle between its saber teeth on its back, and the strong man sat on it with a blank face. The man stroked it gently, and it instantly became docile.
Someone in the crowd muttered, "That man riding a dinosaur is a barbarian sergeant!"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"You can't be wrong, barbarians only have the strength to tame dinosaurs above the sergeant, and our sergeant from Beizhou is Ouyang Qingtian, everyone must have seen her on TV!"
Although the barbarians destroyed the working robots and combat robots produced by modern humans, some technologies that had little effect on the rule of the barbarians were retained, such as televisions and mobile phones. Pistols, shells, swords, etc., became controlled products, and unauthorized collection was recognized as a "crime of rebellion".
At this time, Xiaobai pinned the Wind Thunder God Knife to his waist, and the attention of the surrounding crowd was attracted by the sergeant riding the dinosaur, otherwise he would really be reported.
In addition to the constitution promulgated by the king, Gaia Star has its own laws in the east, west, north and south. The law of Beizhou stipulates that a man must find a girl over 16 years old to marry when he reaches the age of eighteen, and two years after giving birth to a child, the man needs to go to Gaia Star South Continent to work as a coolie, and after ten years of being a coolie, he can apply to return to Beizhou for retirement. There are often very few men who make it home alive, and even if they do, it's a problem. In the beginning, many men took advantage of the loopholes in the law and did not get married or have children, so that they did not have to go to Nanzhou, where the conditions were harsh, to mine, cut wood, and build railways. The boss of Beizhou, Beizhou Sergeant Ouyang Qingtian, promulgated a new law, stipulating that if a man who has reached the age of 19 is not married, he will be sent directly to Nanzhou, and priority will be given to mining work; if he gets married and has children, he can be given priority to arrange easy and safe work. People often hear on the TV news that miners lost their lives due to the collapse of a coal mine, so men rushed to get married at the age of 18, and girls over 16 years old, no matter how fat or thin, beautiful or ugly, were in high demand in Gaia! You must know that it only costs 100,000 shells to immigrate to the Dongzhou aristocratic district. Therefore, the men with good family conditions have immigrated to Dongzhou with their parents, where barbarians and modern people do not have to be coolies, and even many officials are modern people, although men need to serve in the military for three years when they become adults, but now they rarely fight, and they can accept it.
Xiaobai mixed in the crowd, listened to the gossip conversation, and basically understood the situation in the North Continent of Gaia. At the moment, his "Moonlight Gem" is still in the hands of the beautiful young woman in the autumn night, and he has to earn a thousand shells for her first, and there are only eight days left. Xiaobai also thought about taking advantage of her inattention, pointing at her acupoints and forcibly seizing the gem, but when he thought of people carrying him back when he was injured and taking care of himself, he couldn't do anything. Xiaobai thought to himself: "There is no endless road, I will walk everywhere again." ”
The barbarian sergeant rode away on the dinosaur, and the crowd returned to its old self, drinking when it was time to drink, and doing business when it was time to do business.
Suddenly, a person in the crowd was whispering on his mobile phone: "Hey, is it the police station? There's a young man here with a controlled knife at his waist!" The barbarian policeman on the other end of the phone: "There is such a thing! Quickly send me your location...... Be careful not to draw his attention. ”
Xiaobai's internal strength has already reached the realm of "Little Zhoutian", and his ear power is naturally extraordinary. Although the old man's voice was very small, he still heard it in his ears. Xiao Bai secretly showed a smile.
As soon as Xiaobai flew up, the old man wiped his eyes and wondered: "Why did this young man with a knife suddenly disappear?
A figure flashed over again, Xiao Bai put his arm on the old man's shoulder, and asked coldly, "Uncle, why do you want to report me?" The old man was startled! Then the old man's hair trembled: "I...... No......" Xiaobai saw that he was not honest, and as soon as his fingers were forced, the old man's shoulder blades were shattered, and said: "Say!" The old man had a terrible headache, and he hoped that the police would arrive soon, so he could only say: "We have recently had a revolutionary army in Beizhou, and the government said that there will be a reward for reporting." Xiaobai smiled, let go of the old man, and disappeared.
Xiaobai is still thinking about how to earn a thousand shell coins, and he has no time to play with the barbarian police.
Xiao Bai saw that many shops on the street were recruiting waiters, but the salary was basically 50 to 60 shell dollars a day, and he couldn't even earn 500 shell dollars in eight days! Xiao Bai continued to look forward, and came to the door of a martial arts hall, and there were three black characters on the door: Shenwu Gate! Xiao Bai remembered the Shenwu Gate of the Western Regions, and the Dabuda Lama, thinking about it, it was thanks to his "Moonlight Gem" that he arrived at Gaia Star, although he was still amnesia, but he could always find a way to rescue his father and eldest brother. There is a blank piece of paper posted at the door of the martial arts hall, which reads: Sincerely recruit martial arts sparring masters, provide lunch, 200 shells a day, and settle daily. Xiaobai's eyes lit up: "You can make enough money in five days!"
Xiaobai walked into the martial arts hall decisively, and many people inside looked at him with strange eyes. After all, most of the men in Beizhou are old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, including most of the men in this martial arts hall are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties who have returned from working in Nanzhou, but there is a young man in front of them!
Xiaobai asked politely, "May I ask where is the curator here?" ”
A stout man walked out and said loudly: "We only lack a sparring partner now, and the coach already has it!"
Xiaobai: "You're the curator, right? I'm here to apply for a sparring partner." ”
Stout man: "Yes, I am the curator of this and the only coach here!"
Xiaobai: "......"
Xiaobai said again: "Then the curator, may I ask what the work of the sparring partner is?"
The curator said: "It is to learn martial arts with them, and then wear thick protective clothes to fight them and improve their actual combat ability, these people are all fighters who want to participate in the Beizhou Cup boxing competition! ”
Xiaobai: "No problem!"
Curator: "Okay, then come into my office to sign the contract and get the work clothes." ”
Xiaobai found that the words on the contract were exactly the same as the words on the "Tao Te Ching" and the parchment scroll! It turned out that the "Tao Te Ching" and the moonlight gem were all from Gaia Star.
Although there are many overlord clauses in the contract, Xiaobai is eager to make money, so he did not hesitate to sign the name "Bo Shaolong" and received a set of thick work clothes with many layers of protection inside.
