At seven o'clock in the evening, the shopping streets of Dragonstone Town are as lively as ever, with people coming and going.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's getting dark relatively quickly, and the street lights are turned on at this time, about 10 meters long, and the lights from the glass windows of the shops on both sides illuminate the whole street.

There are many pedestrians in the streets, but only a few come and go: merchants in traveling robes, mercenaries with weapons on their backs, warblers scratching their heads and smoking cigarettes on the side of the street, factory workers in overalls, and poorly dressed locals, with the occasional well-dressed rich man or two.

Longshi Town is a transit point and trading center for more than two dozen nearby fringe towns, where the raw materials produced are transported and sold to factories, and then grain and other daily necessities are purchased and shipped back.

At the same time, it is also the office hall of the residents of the edge town. You have to come to the network every three months, otherwise your personal credit will continue to decline. If you fall to the freezing point, you will become a homeless.

The shopping street is the liveliest part of Dragonstone Town. Especially in the evening, business trips from all over the world come from afar, and after several days of tiring travel, or just finish business, busy all day. Treat yourself to a good meal and relax with a glass of wine. Or buy some gifts for your family to take home, or take advantage of the time to run errands and find someone to comfort your lonely body and mind. Whether it's a wandering warbler or a cowherd, there is no shortage here.

Chen Xing walked slowly down the street. Suna followed behind him, holding three ice cream cones in one hand and one in the other, with a happy smile on her face.

"Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious~" Chen Xing asked casually, and Suna immediately ran up and rubbed him with her face.

"Thank you, brother, brother is so good to Suna!" Suna held the cone with her eyes full of little stars.

"Be careful, don't get your clothes dirty." Chen Xing was afraid that the clothes he had just changed would be stained by ice cream, so he used his hand to support Suna and prevent her from approaching.

"Uh-huh~"

Although she was disliked, Suna still looked full of happiness and did not feel the slightest bit unhappy. In her mind, her brother is the first truth of the universe, and everything her brother says is right and everything he does is right. As long as she can be with her brother, she is the happiest.

"Come here."

Chen Xing took out a tissue, and Suna immediately stretched her head over, extremely well-behaved. Chen Xing wiped her mouth, then wiped off the ice cream foam that fell on the floral skirt, and threw it into the trash can next to her.

This floral pleated skirt was hand-sewn by the moon lily especially for Suna. Needlework is also a compulsory course for court maids. Seeing that Yuecanglia is ingenious, she is the best among them.

The main point of its design is to cover Suna's October pregnancy, like a big belly about to give birth. Floral fabrics create visual misalignment, while wavy-shaped folds create a sense of fluffiness. Unless you look closely, you can't see the flaws.

So along the way, Suna didn't get much attention.

Otherwise, a girl who seems to be underage and walks around the street with a big belly will definitely attract strange glances from passers-by, and even attract some women to point fingers at her.

Suna is okay, she doesn't understand the world, and Chen Xingke is embarrassed.

He once used some medical instruments to see through Suna's belly, and it was pitch black inside, and no rays could penetrate it. Later, he explored with his psionic tentacles, and was sucked into it like a black hole.

Although there is no relevant record in the Black Table database, according to his speculation, it should be Suna's personal domain.

With some unknown ability, the huge insect body was contained in the alien dimension, leaving only the human part, just like Chen Xing's spatial ring, realizing the transformation of human and ant queen.

This can be seen in the process of change. Suna's transformation from queen ant form to human form requires cocooning, and the transformation from human to queen ant only takes an instant to complete.

As long as Suna is willing, she will be able to regain her queen form in the next second, squeezing the shops on both sides with her huge body.

Of course, such a thing would certainly not have happened if there had been no danger.

Except for the darkness in her stomach, Suna's body structure is exactly the same as that of a normal human girl.

To put it simply, it's everything you should have......

"Mr. Mercenary, do you want kebabs?"

Between his thoughts, a little guy in an apron in the store next to him greeted him warmly.

The aroma of meat is overflowing. Turning his head to look at Suna, she was already drooling from hunger.

"Fresh black goat meat, transported over from the mountains in the morning, slaughtered in the afternoon, you won't regret eating it."

"Do you want it?" Chen Xing deliberately teased Suna.

"Yes, yes~" Suna shouted.

"Do you want it?" "Yes, I want to eat~" "Do you want it very much?" "Well, Suna really wants to ~"

"Do you really want to?" "Do you want it~" "Really, really want it?" "Suna really, really wants it~"

After teasing for a while, Chen Xing gestured to the apron brother, "Come on three strings." ”

He hadn't eaten this black goat meat for many years, and he had a good time to reminisce about it today.

This black goat is not a black-haired goat in the traditional sense, but a goat from an ectopic plane.

It is said that it was originally discovered in a fragment of a world called the Black Forest.

The black goat is huge, reaching a height of three or four meters, which is comparable to the British Sharma on Earth. They are super fertile, and they are highly adaptable to the environment, and can be raised in most areas. After the first people ate it without problems, it soon became the most popular meat animal in the pastures everywhere.

But the black goat has a disadvantage, that is, the meat is too strong/smelly, and it is hard, and only the poor will eat it.

When he was in Dragonstone Town before, he had eaten a lot, and sometimes he really found it difficult to swallow.

There is no Yuan Longping in this world, so there is no hybrid rice, and wheat, potatoes and black goats are the staple food. In the case of the same full-filled, the price of rice is 80% more expensive.

However, this barbecue seems to have a lot of seasonings, and it doesn't feel so sassy.

watched Suna take the mutton skewers and looked at them for a few seconds as if she had been treasured, her big green eyes shone with brilliance, and then she ate it in one bite, her face full of happiness.

Chen Xing tried to bite down on a piece, first with a greasy mouth, then a smell of urine rushing straight to his nose, and then a rubber-like taste.

It's really unpalatable......

I chewed for half a minute before swallowing it, and sure enough, it was the taste in my memory. But he didn't want to try it anymore, so he casually stuffed the rest to Suna.

The latter happily took it and sent it to the crystal little mouth, and his cheeks were bulging.

"Your daughter is so cute!" probably thought Suna was beautiful and cute, and the apron brother couldn't help but praise it.

All of a sudden, the temperature plummeted. Chen Xing's face instantly became gloomy, like black lines in the comics.

This was the most unpleasant thing he had ever heard in this time, especially since he broke through and suddenly gave him a blow.

Although he is a human being in the third life, and his combined mental age is already at the level of an uncle, his body seems to be only in his twenties, how can he become the father of a big girl.

Probably seeing Chen Xing's face, the apron brother was used to doing business, and he knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Slip of the tongue, it's a slip of the tongue!" Then he explained, "Your sister is so beautiful that she can't come back to her senses for a while, and her brain is funny." ”

The other party's wording was quite satisfactory, and Chen Xing's face was much better.

"Such a lovely sister, sir, I want to watch it. It's a safe zone, but there are a lot of bad guys. ”

"Thanks for the reminder."

After exchanging thumbs with the apron boy, the two continued to walk forward.

Chen Xing put one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand swayed, wandering, his eyes casually swept over the pedestrians and shops around him, and the whole person was loose and sloppy, looking very leisurely.

This time he went out shopping, and he only took Suna with him, and the others stayed on the float boat outside the town. Because he wanted to remember the past years, with a large group of people did not feel. It's noisy, and there's no atmosphere.

In his last life, he spent two years in Dragonstone Town, which can be regarded as his second hometown.

Due to the nature of his work, he is very familiar with the streets and alleys of Dragonstone. Even after many years, the memory is still fresh.

A few shops further aboard are where he once worked.

Soon, he saw a shop with a large number of locomotives parked in front of the door. Looking inside, there were piles of cartons of packaged goods, and more than a dozen young men were busy carrying the goods onto the locomotive and fixing them with leather ropes.

The sign on the top is written with a few big characters that are about to lose their paint - Longhe Express.

There is also a small line below: The wind of the dragon river, delivered safely.

There are many courier companies in this world, and the main business of Longhe Express is in the Red Country, as well as the "Red Earth Express" of the entire continent and the "Wilderness Express" of the whole world.

This is a branch of Longhe Express, Chen Xing worked here for two years until he met Tienuo, joined the Lei Guang Regiment, and since then embarked on the road of no return for mercenaries.

Looking at the courier brother who was busy with things and sitting next to him smoking and chatting, Chen Xing had a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world.

At one time, he sat there chatting like them.

Of course, it's not that I look down on them, or that I don't think there's anything wrong with the past.

On the contrary, he thought it was a good time.

Because it's simple, it's not so tiring, and there's not so much intrigue. It's simple, after work, smoke a cigarette, chat, drink a little wine, there is not so much pressure, and life is quite happy.

In fact, people's pressure is given to them by themselves.

If you don't pursue so much, you don't have so many desires, and naturally there is no pressure.

Back then, when he worked here, it was simple, he didn't think too much, just do his duty and save money.

Maybe without Tienuo's appearance, he will work here for the rest of his life, and then marry a passable wife, have a few children, and believe that life will be comfortable.

In his opinion, whether there is pressure or no pressure, it is just a way of life, and there is no right or wrong.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I want to be dissatisfied but I'm powerless.

The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper. If you don't care about doing small things, if you can't do big things well, if you have low eyes and low skills, and if you have big ambitions and talents, then your life will be gloomy.

If you are content with the status quo, then save money well in case you need it, and at the same time do a good job seriously, even if you are a courier, you can become the supervisor of the site after working hard for many years, and then you can be a manager, or contract the site, be a small boss, or even open your own courier company, and be a big boss.

In this world, there is no industry that is not big. If you move bricks and move them, you can do a plasterer, if you do a good job, you can be a decoration master, if you do a good job, you can be a small package foreman, and if you do a good job, you can be a big bag foreman. The line is the champion, this sentence is not false.

If you are not satisfied with the status quo and want to change jobs, you need to learn more knowledge, broaden your horizons, and then go ahead.

Back then, Chen Xing did a good job as a courier first, and then learned some mercenary skills, until he met Tienuo, and then he began to explore the world.

Although he is not a maxima, and Tieno is not a Bole, he is at least a qualified and prepared trainee mercenary, and Tieno is also the leader of a small mercenary group with decent strength.

If the situation is different, he feels sorry for himself every day, thinks that this can't do it and doesn't want to do it, and daydreams every day of making a fortune and hugging beautiful women, even if he meets Tienuo, it is estimated that the two sides will pass by.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

It's so simple that a three-year-old child can tell it. But it's not so easy to really do it.

First of all, you should take some of your spare time out of work to strengthen yourself.

He was half tired after work that year, and he still took time to read the mercenary manual, the encyclopedia of mutated creatures, the history of the Red Earth Continent every day, or go to the training ground to practice marksmanship.

Second, save money and have enough savings to cope with change.

He had saved nearly two hundred gold coins that year, and there were still dozens of dollars left over after buying a suit of equipment. According to the rules of the mercenary industry, those who can produce their own equipment can get more money.

Because he has something to do in his spare time, he is not as idle as others, and after work, he goes to the mixed tavern to find Liuying, which reduces consumption in disguise.

In fact, he has always felt that he can learn anything, as long as he is interested.

But interest can't just be interest.

If you like to play games, you can be an anchor if you play well, and you can write a guide if you don't play well, and you can improve after a long time. But if playing a game is just playing, then the only effect is to relax.

Strength and insight are built up by accumulation.

If he didn't have the experience of being a mercenary in the previous life, even if he was reborn in this life, he knew that there were treasures in the underground water station, what could he do?

First of all, he can't pass the level of Aliya. If he is incapacitated, others will look down on him and slaughter him like a pig.

His predecessor was like this, he was slaughtered by Aliya and died of a poisonous hair, which allowed him to cross over and take the plate.

And he, who has proved his ability to survive in the wilderness, has proved that he is a qualified mercenary, and Alia's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, and he can still lend him a loan.

How can there be a free lunch?

The world is made up of interests, and without ability is equal to having no use value, and without use value, we can only count on the kindness of others to give alms.

There are such people, but there are definitely not many.

It is better to hope in others than in yourself.

Even if you want someone to help, you have to make others feel that this person is worth helping.

When he was at the water station, if he hadn't had enough use value and his character was passable, it was estimated that he would have been cut by Alia a long time ago.

And in the subsequent conflict with the children of the family, when he was in danger, the mayor of the town, Xia De Sinclair, came to his rescue.

Although Xia De Sinclair is a legendary powerhouse with noble character and a good heart, the premise of everything is that he Chen Xing is worth helping.

Without this premise, nothing would have existed, and he was already too dead to die.

Even if you don't have any ability, you have to make yourself a "worthy of help" person if you hope that your predecessors will help you.

"Sir, do you have a courier to pick up?"

Seeing Chen Xing stunned, a courier brother stepped forward to ask.

Chen Xing came back to his senses and said with a smile, "No, no, just take a look." ”

The courier brother looked at Chen Xing, probably seeing Chen Xing's identity as a rich man from his clothes and the beautiful girl behind him, and sighed, "What's so good about this, I'm tired from working all day long." It's better for you to be mercenaries, you get money quickly, and you can have everything you want. As he spoke, he glanced at Suna, his eyes full of envy.

probably thought that if such a girl could be his girlfriend, it would not matter if she lived for a few decades.

"She's my sister." Chen Xing introduced. On the one hand, I don't want to cause any misunderstanding, and on the other hand, I want to comfort the other party and reduce the sense of disparity between the other party.

"Your sister is beautiful." The courier brother sighed, his eyes were a little obsessed.

"Suna, others say you're beautiful, how should you answer?" Chen Xing looked back at Suna.

Suna hurriedly stuffed the remaining small cone into her mouth, and then bowed to the courier brother, "Thank you, little brother." ”

"Your sister is so good."

"Come on, I used to work as a courier." Chen Xing said.

"Ahh The courier brother was surprised, "You also do this?" ”

"I am very familiar with the alleys here, the front alley and the back alley, the seven, eighty, and nine alleys, the rat pit, the chicken tail, and the ...... of the senior courtyard."

Chen Xing said the names of nearby places in a row, and they were all common sayings in the industry, and the courier brother immediately believed it.

"You, you're really an old-timer!" The courier brother was so excited that he even used honorifics.

Chen Xing laughed, but at this moment, a rude voice came from the store, and then a big fat man walked out.

"Eh, what are you doing outside, chatting before the goods are delivered, don't you want to do it!"

The big fat man had a serious face, raised his fat slap, and made a gesture to hit. The courier brother hurriedly shrank his head and ran away with a smile, "Fat man, I'll send it right away, I'll send it right away." ”

This big fat man Chen Xing recognized that he was the contractor of this sub-site, called Lu Dahai, because he was born with a fat head and big ears, and he had a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, everyone called him "Fat Master".

Lu Dahai is a person who is seven parts evil and three parts good, not very good, but he is still good for the couriers under him, at least he will not deduct his salary.

But in general, Chen Xing didn't want to have too much contact with the other party, after all, time has passed, and the other party is not his boss anymore. And his status is much higher than the other party's now, and he doesn't have much in common.

"Huh, Chen Xing?"

As soon as Chen Xing wanted to leave, he was recognized,

"Damn, it's really you!" Lu Dahai's face was full of surprise, and the horizontal flesh on his face was shaking.

"You kid ......" Halfway through the words, Lu Dahai swallowed the words back. The shrewdness of the businessman allowed him to quickly recognize the identity of Chen Xing's rich man.

One is clothing.

Chen Xing was wearing a customized version of the combat uniform of the Dragon Scale Guard, although Lu Dahai did not necessarily understand the goods, but it could be seen from the fabric that it was a high-end product, which was better than what he saw on weekdays.

The second is the little beauty around her.

Suna scored eighty-five points in Chen Xing's rating, the same score as Ye Yang Qingyan. And it's the beauty of youth, and it's even more amazing after it grows up. It's very rare in big cities, let alone a small place like Dragonstone Town.

Can you have such a woman around, it's okay without two brushes? Besides, if you hide at home for fear of being stolen, you dare to bring it out?

The third is temperament.

Chen Xing's identity is not what it used to be, and he has been in a leading position for a long time, and the momentum of belonging to the superior has arisen spontaneously.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, I should call you Lord Chen now, right?" Lu Dahai was not stage frightened, and said with a smile.

"Just call Chen Xing." Chen Xing said.

"This can't be done, looking at your clothes, it will cost thousands of gold coins to say the least, right? The last time I went to monitor lizard city, I saw someone wearing it, and it was still a nobleman, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could wear. ”

I have to say that Lu Dahai is still very discerning. This is also the reason why he has been able to run an express station for several years in a place like Longshi Town, where dragons and snakes are mixed, with only a small wind and no big waves.

Chen Xing does not deny that sometimes being too modest is disrespectful to others and being a fool to others.

"How's business going?" Chen Xing asked casually.

seems to be casual, but it has a lot of artistic content, instead of worrying about how much his clothes cost, it is better to change the topic with a common language.

His customized combat uniform of the Dragon Scale Guard, using high-fiber fabrics and a protection level of three, is the highest configuration of the mass-produced combat uniform, one of the highest technological crystallizations in the red clay world, and then there is only a personal customized version. The cost price is 3,000 gold coins, plus it is the exclusive combat uniform of the Dragon Scale Guard, and the goods that are not in circulation on the market are amazingly high.

In other words, this dress can change the other party's sub-site more than enough.

So this kind of topic is not interesting at all.

"It's still the same, I don't lose money, and I don't want to make a lot of money." Lu Dahai's answer was a bit polite, but it was almost true. Longshi Town is so big, the business volume is so much, and the income is relatively fixed.

"How about it, do you want to find a place to sit, let's catch up." Lu Dahai invited.

"Okay." Chen Xing nodded in agreement.

After some contact, he had to admire the level of Lu Dahai's life. First of all, the other party did not invite him to sit in the store, because the other party understood that the store was dirty and messy, and it was no longer suitable for a person of his status. Secondly, Lu Dahai never mentioned his past from beginning to end, let alone treated him as an old subordinate in the past.

This is not the same as Xiaojun and Li Xiong who met in Gray Corner City before, no wonder the "fat man" has always been a fat man, and they can only work part-time.

What's more, although he saw that his identity was different, rich and powerful, he didn't nod his head and stammer.

As if I was an old friend, I met by chance, and sat down to catch up.

Even if Chen Xing wanted to refuse, he couldn't find a reason. Or to put it another way, if he refuses, it means that he Chen Xing will not be a man.

At this time, others said behind his back that the villain is ambitious, rich and forgetful, and he can only bear it.
