Chapter 8: Return to the Tianlan World

The second time Lu Yu crossed the Tianlan world was chosen in the morning of the next day, this choice was because he heard the old man Ding say that he could only reach the nearest county seat by walking a hundred miles north on the post road, a hundred miles was not far away, it was not close, and it would take at least a day to hike, and Lu Yu would not dare to spend the night on the post road at night.

Lu Yu began to observe as soon as he appeared in the Tianlan World, and found that the time in the Tianlan World and the Main World was early in the morning, which confirmed Lu Yu's guess in his heart.

After confirming that there was no one around, Lu Yu took out the mechanical watch and electronic watch, not surprisingly, the screen on the electronic watch was black, and then took out electronic products such as mobile phones and flashlights, and found that all of them could not be used.

Lu Yu had already guessed this in his heart, and he didn't dwell on it much.

Then Lu Yu took out the gifts he bought in the gift shop, these gifts have one thing in common, that is, they are all purely mechanical, like the crystal snowflake ball is not even mechanical, these gifts can be used normally without accidents.

After doing these things, Lu Yu walked on the post road, before crossing, Lu Yu had already changed into a long shirt, put on the cloth shoes given to him by Old Man Ding, and had a headscarf on his head to hide his small flat head, this image seemed to Lu Yu to be a little untouchable.

According to Old Man Ding's words, you can pay attention to the passing vehicles around you when you get on the post road, and if there are well-wishers who are willing to take Lu Yu for a ride, the time to arrive at the county seat will be at least half a day in advance.

Lu Yu's luck was good, and after walking forward for less than a quarter of an hour, he got into a merchant's carriage, but he had to pay ten cents for the journey, which Lu Yu had already prepared for.

Spending ten pennies can leave most of the day's time and physical strength, no matter how you look at it, it is very cost-effective.

The size of the horses pulling the cart is a little big and scary, and it is not surprising to see a large horse that does not look like a horse after seeing the ploughing cattle of this world.

With the means of transportation, Lu Yu rushed to the county seat before noon, this is a county town with a population of 15.6 million, such a county town does not know whether it is big or small in the Tianlan world, anyway, Old Man Ding himself can't say it clearly, and Lu Yu doesn't know.

At the gate of the county seat, there are soldiers guarding the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.

Lu Yu noticed that the inspection was very strict, and the soldiers were like catching thieves, checking everyone who entered and left the county with suspicion.

When Lu Yu walked in front of the soldier to show his guide, the soldier looked at Lu Yu suspiciously, and immediately showed a respectful expression on his face, and then let him go, without even charging the entrance fee to the city.

This attitude changed too quickly, which made the coachman behind Lu Yu have a stunned expression on his face, so that Lu Yu walked a long way without reacting, regretting why he didn't take Lu Yu with him, so that he could be exempted from a city entrance fee.

Lu Yu actually didn't understand why the soldiers didn't charge their own entrance fees, but they didn't have to pay this money, and they just left a small amount of money for Lu Yu.

The moment he entered the county seat, Lu Yu felt that the aura around him had become more intense, and the concentration of aura in the county town had increased at least twice as much as that outside, and it seemed that he would not suffer at all by paying the entrance fee, at least Lu Yu thought so now.

It may be because it is just in time for noon, there are a lot of people on the streets of the county, and the ground has become a neat bluestone slab, and there are many shops on both sides of the street.

Lu Yu was not in a hurry to find a place to stay, and followed the flow of people, and when there were many people, he went there as if he was going out to play and watch the guests.

In fact, Lu Yu's main focus now is on the conversation and observation of the people around him, and his eyes do not let go of any details he sees, this state is similar to a thief finding out in advance, but it is not conspicuous on the lively street.

Lu Yu didn't dare to do anything now, and he urgently needed to understand the world so that he could integrate into it as soon as possible.

The lunch at noon was very simple, a bowl of noodles on the roadside stall cost Lu Yu five yuan, this price is actually a bit expensive, if it is in a place with few people, such a bowl of noodles is only three yuan, and I found that I seemed to have been slaughtered by a profiteer.

After more than an hour of observation and inquiry, Lu Yu has a general understanding of the prices in this world, the purchasing power of copper coins in this world is still very strong, one penny can buy two white steamed buns, if you save a little money, the cost of a day's meal is less than three or four yuan.

The price of accommodation Lu Yu also asked casually, high-end accommodation is not to think about, the lowest single room is only 20 wen a night, if you still think it is expensive, there are many people in the hotel with a large bed, only 3 wen a night, this is already the lowest price Lu Yu asked.

Old man Ding gave Lu Yu two taels of silver, which is equivalent to 2,000 Wen, if you save a little money, it will be no problem for one person to last for two hundred days.

But things are not so simple, the prices in the restaurant are a little high, Lu Yu looked at the price list hanging on the wall, the lowest plate of dishes are more than ten yuan, the dishes with a little oily are more than twenty yuan, and the wine starts at twenty yuan, if you eat in such a place, the silver in Lu Yu's pocket will not last for ten days.

This is still the result of Lu Yu's calculation that he doesn't dare to spend money indiscriminately, if Lu Yu wants to taste the food here, it is estimated that he will not be able to last even three days.

Lu Yu read a few books in a bookstore, asked about the price, and almost scared himself to death.

A copy of "Chronicles of Mountains and Rivers" costs 100 texts, and a "Treasure Book of Scientific Research" from three years ago costs 200 texts, and Lu Yu wants to buy a few books he likes, and he needs seven or eight hundred texts, which makes Lu Yu realize what knowledge is priceless.

But in the end, Lu Yu still reluctantly bought those books, resisted the urge not to leave a punch in the face of the profiteer, and secretly vowed to be a rich man.

But then again, from the perspective of Lu Yu, a traverser, the price of the Tianlan world is really cheap, and just from the silver price of the two worlds, it is almost no different from giving it away for nothing.

Then Lu Yu saw a money bank again, Lu Yu looked at it curiously for a while, and found that there were not many people in and out of the money bank.

Lu Yu is at the gate of Qianzhuang, but he doesn't want to rob, not to mention whether Lu Yu has the courage to do so, even if he has, the two strong men with big shoulders and round waists at the gate of Qianzhuang are not something that Lu Yu can deal with now, as for whether there are other forces in Qianzhuang, Lu Yu can guess with his buttocks.

Lu Yu walked into the money bank, just exchanged a few pieces of broken silver for a few hundred copper coins, and asked about the exchange ratio of gold and silver by the way, and felt that the money village was a bit of a person who ate people and did not spit out bones, whether it was exchanged with copper coins or gold and silver, a handling fee of 10% would be charged, which was no different from robbing money.

When it was almost evening, Lu Yu wanted to find a hotel to stay in temporarily, planning not to leave this county until he understood the world.

Lu Yu didn't know where the hotel was the cheapest, but considering his current situation, a remote hotel should be a good choice.

Just as Lu Yu was about to walk into a hotel, he found that there was a shop next to the hotel, with three big characters "Baibao Pavilion" written on the signboard, and he felt that it should be a store selling some more valuable items, so he walked in.

A young man dressed as a man saw Lu Yu who walked in and said: "Distinguished guest, what do you want to buy, our store has a variety of high, medium and low-level magic weapons, cultivation exercises and low-level pills, the price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied, consume a hundred spirit stones, you can also become a free entry member of this store, enjoy a ninety-nine discount." ”

"It's actually selling monks' goods?"

It was the first time Lu Yu had seen a shop selling monks' items in the county, and looking at the young man's appearance, he didn't look like a monk, could it be that this shop was so poor that he couldn't even afford to hire a monk? .

This is a sleepy encounter with a pillow, and Lu Yu also happens to want to know the price of the monk's items.

"Can you tell me about it?"

The young man found that Lu Yu had no desire to buy, and the smile on his face was much less, "There are thousands of products in our store, I don't know what information your customers want to know?" ”

Lu Yu didn't have any concept of the monk's goods, and most of the goods on the counter didn't even have names, so he didn't know what he wanted to ask, so he remembered the Qi Nourishing Pill that the woman in red gave him before, and said, "How do you sell the Qi Nourishing Pill here!" ”

"Qi Nourishing Pill!"

The young man paused for a moment, and said with a smile on his face again: "The Qi Nourishing Pill is a low-level second-grade elixir, one pill has thirty lower-grade spirit stones, and a bottle of ten ....... ”

Lu Yu secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, he didn't expect the price of Qi Nourishing Pill to be so high, and the recovery price of the system was only half a skill point, of course, a large part of the profit was in the price sold in the store, but it was enough to see the price ratio between the system skill points and the spirit stone.

"Do you have a price list here?"

Lu Yu felt that he could exhaust himself to death if he continued to ask like this, and he also exposed his shortcomings, so he asked the young man in a different way.

"Nope!"

Lu Yu didn't know that his way of asking was not right at all, the monks came with a clear purpose in buying things, and an untargeted inquiry like Lu Yu almost didn't exist, making the guys in the store unable to adapt.

"Is there a cultivation method here that suits me?"

The young man didn't hesitate this time, "This store has the most basic control technique, have you tested your Five Elements Spirit Root?" If there is no store that can test the five elements of the customer's spiritual root, each time the cost of ten lower grade spirit stones, each spirit root control exercise is divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, inferior spirit root control exercise ten lower grade spirit stones, medium spirit root control exercise fifty lower grade spirit stones, upper grade spirit root control exercise 100 lower grade spirit stones. ”

Lu Yu also felt that there was no point in continuing to ask, so he asked the last question: "I don't have a spirit stone in my hand, can I buy it with silver?" ”

"This ......!"

The young man's expression stiffened, perhaps he had never encountered such a thing, and waited for a while before he spoke: "A low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred and twenty taels of silver, but this store usually does not accept silver, if you use silver, you can only buy the basic pill of this store: Qi Replenishing Pill." ”

"How do I buy Qi Replenishing Pill?"

"Five lower grade spirit stones buy one Qi Replenishing Pill, ten Qi Replenishing Pills one bottle, buy at least one bottle each time!"

Lu Yu gasped in his heart, this monk's things are really expensive, the basic pills all cost five lower-grade spirit stones, and the value is six hundred taels of silver, are the monks so rich?
