Chapter 17: Zhou Guangyuan's plan
Zhou Guangyuan thought as he walked along College Street towards his home. Along the way, he greeted the uncles and aunts on the street with a smile, and sometimes even stopped and took out candy from his pocket and gave it to the children. Every time the neighbors complimented:
"Xiao Guangyuan is really a good child."
Every time Zhou Guangyuan is smiling and modest, he is indeed deliberately maintaining a harmonious relationship with his neighbors. Because their family has just moved from the lease area in the west of the city.
According to Zhou Guangyuan's parents, their family moved into Xicheng from a refugee gathering place to absorb a large number of urban residents in Xicheng, and at that time, as long as they were willing to join Xicheng, they could obtain citizenship, but they needed to buy their own housing.
Zhou Guangyuan's parents were at the bottom of the camp when they were in the refugee settlement, with no money or power, and naturally they could not afford to buy a house in Xicheng, so they could only live in poor tents, and usually made a living by doing odd jobs for others. It wasn't until Zhou Guangyuan joined the adventurers and became a martial artist that their family's life slowly improved.
Buying this house in the civilian area in the south of the city almost exhausted all the family's savings. But Zhou Guangyuan does not regret it, the temporary rental area is too chaotic, and those who have the slightest ability will move out of the temporary rental area.
The Zhou family's house in the civilian area is the third floor of a five-storey small building, densely arranged between the buildings, leaving not too many gaps, if it were not for the fact that Xicheng is a mobile city and does not allow more than five-story buildings, then the houses in the civilian area would be higher.
But even so, it is not easy to buy a house in a civilian area, he needs enough money and at the same time needs to have permanent resident status.
It was her sister Zhou Li'er who opened the door for Zhou Guangyuan, and when Zhou Li'er saw Zhou Guangyuan coming back, she happily hugged Zhou Guangyuan's neck and said:
"Brother, you're back."
Zhou Guangyuan broke the arm of this sticky sister and asked, "What about your own home, what about your parents and little brother?" ”
"Mom and Dad went to work, and my younger brother hasn't come back from school yet." Zhou Li'er retracted her arm as she was accustomed to, and packed up her things as she spoke, looking like she was ready to go out.
"Ready to work?" Zhou Guangyuan asked.
The conditions of the Zhou family are not good, and Zhou Li'er works while going to school to earn some money to subsidize the family.
"Be careful on the road." Zhou Guangyuan admonished and walked into his room.
The room is not big, with two beds in a total of ten square meters. Zhou Guangyuan opened the money box in his bedside table, looked at the few gold coins lying in the box, and sighed.
Zhou's parents have always opposed Zhou Guangyuan to go on adventures outside the city, although the adventurers come with money quickly, but the risk is too great, maybe one day they will go out and never come back.
But because of his younger brother Zhou Xingyan, the Zhou family's parents didn't have a good way, and the tuition fees for the martial arts preparatory class couldn't be paid at all with the Zhou family's parents' salaries.
Zhou Guangyuan was originally because his family had no money, and he had to drop out of school to become an adventurer because he couldn't pay the tuition fees after he was born, which led to the fact that four years have passed now, and he is still lingering in the middle of his internal strength.
Zhou Guangyuan didn't want his younger brother to miss the good time of studying like him. Therefore, even though his parents were opposed, Zhou Guangyuan still went to be an adventurer, until he broke through the early stage and became a martial artist in the middle stage of internal strength.
There are not many warriors in the early stage of internal strength, but there are definitely a lot, although you can find a good job in Xicheng City, but the salary will definitely not be high.
But the middle stage of internal strength is different, and most adventurers will give up their adventures outside the city to find a new way out after becoming the middle stage of internal strength by luck.
The same is true for Zhou Guangyuan, a 20-year-old mid-stage martial artist with internal strength is definitely the priority recruitment target of the major tycoons, and the generous salary will not be much lower than that of an adventurer, but Zhou Guangyuan is still ready to choose to join the escort team.
Joining the Guardian is the lowest paying option, but joining the Guardian is the first choice for almost all young warriors, because the captain of each Escort is a master above the Outer Strength Stage, and they can give guidance that cannot be given anywhere else.
Since Zhou Guangyuan has decided to join Lelina's team, he has to make full use of all the conditions he can use and go all out.
Thinking of this, Zhou Guangyuan no longer hesitated, picked up a few gold coins in the piggy box, and after spending 5 gold coins to buy a few drinks and dishes in Bitaoshe, the largest restaurant in the civilian area, he walked straight to Ma Chunsheng's house.
Ma Chunsheng lives in a rented area, close to the civilian area, separated from Zhou Guangyuan's house by a low wall, but it is this wall that makes the difference in housing prices on both sides huge. Zhou Guangyuan almost exhausted all the proceeds of his adventure to buy a house of less than 100 square meters on the side of the civilian area, while Ma Chunsheng bought a house of the same size on the side of the temporary rental area at half price.
Ma Chunsheng was very happy about Zhou Guangyuan's arrival, and hurriedly welcomed Zhou Guangyuan to the house.
"Brother Zhou, welcome, welcome. Why did you bring so much wine and food, ho, it's still Bi Tao She. ”
Although Bi Tao House is not as good as Tian Xiang Ju, it is also one of the best in Xicheng, and even adventurers go to Bi Tao House to eat a meal is a luxury.
"Brother Ma, I haven't been together for a long time, it's rare to come here, of course I can't be empty-handed, and at the same time, I hope you can help with some things."
Zhou Guangyuan said as he put the wine and food on the table one by one.
Ma Chunsheng did not rush to move the wine and food, but said:
"Brother Zhou is stronger than me, what can I do to help you."
Zhou Guangyuan did not answer Ma Chunsheng's question, but poured apricot blossom brew into the black porcelain wine glass in front of the two, raised his glass and said:
"Brother Ma, this apricot blossom brew is probably just an ordinary wine in the Common Era calendar, but in the Holy Yuan Calendar period polluted by the Force, it is a rare wine."
Seeing that Zhou Guangyuan avoided answering the question he raised, Ma Chunsheng did not serve the wine glass in front of him, but looked at Zhou Guangyuan and said seriously:
"Brother Zhou, you know the rules of our adventurers, everything should be cleared before the beginning, to avoid uneven distribution and internal strife, in the same way, if you don't explain what you say, I can't lift this wine."
Zhou Guangyuan was not angry, put down the wine glass and said with a smile on his face:
"Brother Ma, do you know what I've been busy with for a while?"
Of course, Ma Chunsheng knew that during this period of time, most of the warriors in Xicheng were busy with the same thing - the qualifying match of the Xicheng Escort Team. It's just that the guards are playing, they are watching.
"I do know this, in fact, my brother and I are similar to you, I have been paying attention to the situation of the various escort teams, and if my son becomes a martial artist one day, I can also give some advice. However, with Brother Zhou's strength, as long as it is not the top teams of the City Guardian Team, there is no difficulty for the others to join. ”
Zhou Guangyuan also thinks so, but the question is will the dark horse of the Leilina team stop at the fourteenth team?
So Zhou Guangyuan truthfully said his request:
"I'm going to join the Lelina team, and I hope Brother Ma can recommend it to me in front of their vice-captain."
After listening to Zhou Guangyuan's words, Ma Chunsheng put down his heart, if he just recommended it to Xian Renxing, his old face could still be used, but he asked a little strangely:
"With Brother Zhou's strength, you don't need a recommendation to join, right?"
Zhou Guangyuan saw that Ma Chunsheng's expression was relaxed, and he knew that there was a play, so he picked up his wine glass again and said:
"Brother Ma, let's talk while eating."
Ma Chunsheng did not resist this time, and during the two eating and drinking, Zhou Guangyuan said:
"With the performance of the Lelina squad, they may not lose the next game, once they win, they will be promoted to the thirteenth squad next year and become the third-ranked existence of the City Guardians, if so, there will be a lot of martial artists who choose to join their squad."
Hearing Zhou Guangyuan say this, Ma Chunsheng nodded and said: "Also, in the first year, you can become the third-ranked existence of the city guard, and next year you may not be able to compete for the oven guard." ”
"That's why I hope Brother Ma will help me make a recommendation in advance." Zhou Guangyuan took the opportunity to say.
Ma Chunsheng drank all the wine in the wine glass and said, "No problem, I'll help you make an appointment with Vice Captain Xian another day." ”
