After entering the city, the guards led Jiang Feng and Cui Wei to a guard room and told them to wait for a while.

Five or six minutes later, a woman brought a large tray with two large bowls of water on the tray and seven or eight large steamed buns with rough workmanship.

Although it was just a very ordinary steamed bun, it was enough for the hungry Jiang Feng to have these.

Jiang Feng ate with relish, but Cui Wei ate a little reluctantly, with a slight disgust on her expression.

If it weren't for the fact that she was really hungry now, Cui Wei would not have eaten such a crude dry food.

After Cui Wei finished eating three big steamed buns, she said to the guards, "Can you let me see Shi Singh?" ”

Cui Wei felt that as long as she saw Shi Singh, she would be able to eat more decent food and have a good place to take a bath.

However, the guard replied angrily: "Ordinary people don't want to see the city lord, the city lord has instructed that only those with a strength of more than 80 are eligible to see the city lord." ”

"I, I still need to prove my strength when I see a city lord, when did your city lord become so arrogant?" Cui Wei said unpleasantly.

"There's no way, the city lord doesn't want to see people recently, unless it's a powerful person."

"You send Jiang Ze's name to the city lord, he must know Jiang Ze's name."

"When you first entered the city, you already informed your superiors, but your superiors sent a message saying: The city lord does not know the name Jiang Ze and is not considering meeting."

"What the hell is going on with this Shi Singh?" Cui Wei complained.

Under the table, Jiang Feng's foot gently kicked Cui Wei.

"Forget it, we can just eat what we have, and besides, we are not Shi Xingh's real friends." Jiang Feng said.

Cui Wei felt that Jiang Feng had something to say, so she no longer asked to see Shi Xingh, but continued to nibble on the big steamed buns.

Although the steamed buns were very unpalatable, the two of them still ate to their heart's content.

After eating and drinking, a refugee instructor came into the security room, and he said to Jiang Feng and Cui Wei: "There is only one meal we can provide for free, and you only have two choices next, either leave Stone City or join Stone City." ”

"What is the method of joining Stone City?" Cui Wei asked.

"It's just to get an account, and then someone will arrange a job for you, and you will get stamped banknotes for your work, which will be distributed every week. Newcomers can advance one week's salary to cover daily expenses. ”

"Can't you stay in Stone City as a traveler?" Jiang Feng asked.

"That's fine, too, but you'll have to exchange your valuables for the stamps and bills here for your expenses."

"Like what?"

"Gold, jewelry, pistols, oil, etc., but I see that you are so down, there should be nothing of value, and the broken motorcycle you brought happened to run out of gas, so you better open an account with peace of mind and work hard."

"So what do we newcomers do?"

"It depends on what skills you know, but generally speaking, newcomers go to construction sites, mines, stone quarries, etc. to do coolies."

"Hey, I'm a girl, do I have to do coolies too?" Cui Wei didn't actually plan to work in Stone City, but she was a little curious about the operation mechanism of Stone City, so she asked tentatively.

"Girls are also cyborgs, so of course they can do coolies. However, there is a new recruitment demand in the city every week, and some of the girls who work as coolies can be selected to work as waitresses, front desks, tour guides, etc. In short, the current working mechanism of Stone City is very perfect, although it is not as good as the society before the end of the world, but it is still quite humane, everyone can find a suitable job according to their needs, and doing coolies is just an excess. The instructor explained.

"So, what if you want to leave Stone City in the future after completing the household registration? What will happen? Jiang Feng asked.

"It's dangerous outside, and in principle, no one is allowed to leave without permission in Stone City. But if you have to leave Stone City, you must pay a fee to cancel your account, and you must also buy enough weapons, food, equipment and other survival items. ”

"Understood, I guess, the cost of canceling the account must be quite a lot, and the weapons must be expensive, right?"

"It's not very expensive, the average person's half-month's salary can almost cancel the hukou, and a weapon made of ash ore can be bought with a month's salary."

"Isn't it expensive enough to work hard for a month and only buy a gray mine weapon?"

"What do you want to do so much, basically no one will want to leave Stone City. Wuchuan City is different from other cities, this is the Devil's Triangle, and it is quite dangerous outside the stone city, with a lot of fire beasts and poisons. You may have been lucky enough not to encounter it because you were driving a motorcycle, but I advise you that if you want to leave Stone City, you must save up enough money to buy weapons and transportation. ”

"What kind of creature is the Firebeast?"

"A creature with red skin and fire, resembling a leopard, but it is huge, one is equivalent to five ordinary leopards."

"Why do these creatures have fire?" Jiang Feng was a little curious.

"I don't know about this, these creatures have only recently appeared, and Wuchuan City has only recently started to get hot. If it weren't for the huge lake in Stone City, Stone City would have withered long ago. ”

"Then why are the lakes inside Stone City fine, while the lakes and rivers outside Stone City have dried up?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that it's because of the enchantment in Stone City."

"Isn't there anyone going to investigate?"

"Of course there is, but the investigation will not be made public, and it is impossible for the top management to let us ordinary people know too much. By the way, have you asked enough? Let's decide if you want to stay in Stone City? ”

"Wait, stay for sure, we're scared outside." Cui Wei said.

"Then hurry up and fill in the information, and I'll give you an account." The instructor took out two documents from his backpack.

"No, no, no, we want to stay in Stone City as travelers." Cui Wei replied.

"Do you have gold? Don't waste my time without gold. The instructor said impatiently.

"Of course." Cui Wei took off two gold earrings from both ears and placed them on the table.

These two gold earrings are not big, adding up to about 5 grams.

The instructor picked up the gold earrings and looked at them, and said disgustedly: "These two things can only be exchanged for about 100 yuan of stamp banknotes for you at most." 100 yuan, only enough for you to stay in a hotel for one night, you better open a household registration and work honestly. Civilians with hukou have free housing, and the rooms are very good, not inferior to hotels. ”

"How can 5 grams of gold only be worth 100 yuan? 1 gram is only worth 20 yuan? Cui Wei said unhappily.

"Gold has depreciated, every day."

"But in the land east of the river, gold doesn't seem to be depreciating so quickly, is it?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.

"We don't have gold here, it's not useful except for its beauty. Now Duxing ore, if you have any strange ore, you can exchange it for a lot of money. ”

"It's really troublesome, Jiang Ze, what should we do? You don't really have to work part-time, do you? Cui Wei said unpleasantly.

"This ......" Jiang Feng hesitated.

"You can't even eat, accept the reality as soon as possible, you can get 100 yuan for one day of work with us, which is still good." The instructor continued to urge.

"No, I don't want to do coolies. Jiang Ze, you go to work, you support me. ”

"Are you sure you're not teasing me?" Jiang Feng smiled.

"There's no money, you can only make money. You are responsible for earning money to support your family, and I am responsible for being beautiful like a flower. Cui Wei grinned.

"Okay, okay, no kidding." Jiang Feng took out a small cloth bag from his waist, this cloth bag was about half the size of a palm.

Jiang Feng took the small cloth bag and poured it on the table, pouring out eight or nine small blue ores.

When the instructor saw the small ore with blue light, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was very surprised.

"Is this a blue mine?"

"Exactly, commonly known as Xuanbing Cold Iron Mine." Jiang Feng smiled.

"You actually have this mine."

"Luckily, it was found from a corpse."

"This luck, I'm really convinced, I'll weigh it." The instructor took the gram weight and weighed the blue ore on the scale.

"Ah, yes, yes, it adds up to 100 grams, 1 gram can be exchanged for 100 yuan, and 100 grams is 10,000 yuan."

"Oh my God, you're enough of a pit, you guys are bullying me, don't you understand? In Hedong, 1 gram of blue ore can be exchanged for thousands of yuan. ”

"You're talking about the past, don't you know that blue ore is also depreciating? Now is not the beginning of the end of the world, and now there are more and more blue ore veins. ”

"Blue ore is a consumable, how can it depreciate?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.

"There's no way, it's a price anyway, can you change it?" The instructor said dismissively.

"Why are you unreasonable, bargaining to kill dozens of times?" Cui Wei shouted unhappily.

"And how much do you want?"

"At least 100,000." Cui Wei shouted.

"Gotta get it, don't talk nonsense, I'll get you together enough 30,000 yuan, okay?"

"Eh, did you mix the market before the end of the world, and you can bargain so much."

"There's really no way, I can only add 30,000 yuan to you at most, do you like to sell it or not." The instructor continued to disdain.

Jiang Feng sneered: "This is really too far from our target price, if we don't sell it, let's leave Stone City." ”

"Whatever you want." The instructor said coldly.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to put away the blue mine, Cui Wei covered the blue ore with her hand, and then shook her head vigorously at Jiang Feng.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Feng asked.

"I really want to take a good shower, or sell it." Cui Wei looked pitiful.

"But the price is too low."

"Husband, please." Cui Wei said coquettishly.

Cui Wei's husband's call made Jiang Feng's heart extremely soft.

"Well, listen to you."

"Okay, 30,000 yuan is sold, hurry up and get the money." Cui Wei shouted to the instructor.

"No problem." The instructor left the guard room in high spirits.

A few minutes later, the instructor brought three stacks of thick bills.

"Give, it's equal to more than 3 months' salary, it's good, let's go to the city and enjoy the blessings."

Cui Wei took the three stacks of bills, pulled Jiang Feng out of the guard room, and then rented a rickshaw and went to the city.

PS: Thank you Song Yuan for adding 100 yuan to his character. (Nowadays, there are very few people who can continue the role, and it is not easy)
