Chapter 24: Am I a Poor Ghost?

Ye Fang left the church and first found Wang Li outside and asked a lot of things, shops, residences, etc.

Wang Li's face was thin and taciturn, and he didn't look easy to get along with, but he briefly answered every question from Ye Fang.

Ye Fang thanked him and asked bluntly, "Are you extraordinary?" ”

Wang Li stared at him with a strange look in his eyes: "You want to ask me how to become an extraordinary?" I can tell you for sure, achieving extraordinary things doesn't have to be as ...... as you think."

"Nope. I don't want to ask. Ye Fang's answer made Wang Li's expression stunned.

But Ye Yi, who had already obtained the need, had already taken a step forward and started to act.

It's getting dark.

He went to the clothing store first, and under the wary gaze of the clothing store owner, he spent two old coins to change himself into a dress that echoed this era, a black robe, with a hood buttoned up and a small half of his face, and he was no longer a piercing invitee, but a stranger who had just arrived here through teleportation.

- Through the clothing store owner, Ye Fang learned that just a few days ago, a bi-monthly teleportation had just ended, so a foreigner was nothing, but when he wanted to ask why everyone looked at the invitee like that, the clothing store owner only shook his head and stopped answering, revealing an attitude that he obviously didn't want to intersect with the invitee.

As for why the little half of the face is covered. Ye Fang knew that his acting skills were very poor.

All went well, and with a lot of knowledge instilled by Sophia and Randall, the taciturn Ye Fang turned into a foreigner who had teleported to Night City from a few days ago, and successfully rented a one-bedroom apartment in the corner of the third floor of a distorted seven-story building on Third Street.

The people of Night City are wary and distant from invitees, but not bad outsiders.

The landlord, Catherine, was a bloated middle-aged woman of more than two hundred pounds, and she proudly showed off to Ye Fang the property rights of the entire building authorized by the Tianli Council, and said a bunch of things about the housing policy of the Tianli Council's safe zone.

Ye Fang didn't have a word of compliment the whole time. The landlady looked very happy, and said a lot of things before handing the key to Ye Fang.

I walked down the stairs along the corridor on the outer level to my new home, and when I opened the door, the room was clean, but the furniture was quite basic.

This is the cheapest house, one old currency can only live for two days.

Fortunately, it can be settled on a daily basis.

Putting the two pounds of bread that he had bought on the road for an old coin on the table, Ye Fang weighed the six old coins left in his arms, feeling that he had misunderstood the concept of two hundred old coins before.

Moreover, food is expensive compared to clothes and rent.

Ye Fang probably glanced at the room, locked the door, went out again, and asked Lady Catherine where the tavern was.

"You're an alcoholic, too?" Lady Catherine shook her fat and reported a position, and said, "Stranger, I heard that there seems to be a group of invitees today, you go out and be careful not to bump into it." ”

"Invitees? Why be careful with them? ”

Lady Catherine looked at Ye Fang with a surprised gaze, as if he had asked some strange question.

This is a question that even strangers should know.

"Okay, I got it." Ye Fang, who noticed this, didn't ask any more, turned around and left, and followed the guidance of the street sign to find the only "Old John's Tavern" in the safe area of Night City.

At this time, the sky outside had completely begun to darken, and the blood moon was gradually clear, but there were still many people in the safe zone and in the night outside.

There were also quite a few people in the tavern.

Ye Fang found a corner and sat down, he was here to observe, he needed to get information, all kinds of information about the Heavenly Council, about the security zone, about the Eastern Continent, more detailed things.

Ye Fang didn't know what he should know or understand, even if someone sat in front of him and asked him to ask, he might not be able to ask why, so it was better to sit here and listen.

The adventurer's gift has given him enhanced sensory abilities and information processing skills, allowing him to distinguish every sound in a noisy environment and even hear people whispering in a deliberately whispered voice as long as he concentrates.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Fang had a harvest.

It was a couple of men sitting in the corner on the other side, with gloomy temperament and not athletic figures, but they were talking about ......

"Hey, did you hear that? The vampire madwoman, who says her child has been killed, is looking for the murderer. ”

"I've heard that! I've heard that! It is said that her vampire son seems to have died in Night City! Everyone thought it was for the monster to eat, but she said that it was for people to die...... She and her family have spoken out to find out the murderers and pay for the blood debt. ”

"Hehe, pay off the blood debt? This group of cursed things, people are not ghosts, they are not ghosts, relying on their extraordinary ability to feel that they are the characters of the Night City, I don't know that the Heavenly Council will never care about the affairs of their blood clans? ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, there's a blood clan over there, in case it's the same clan as that crazy woman......"

In this world, although the extraordinary are still a minority, their existence is not a secret, but ......

Ye Fang's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly raised his head consciously.

The only waiter in the bar, a little pale girl of about sixteen years old, stood in front of him, bowed her head, and asked timidly, "Sir, what are you going to drink?" ”

"I don't want anything."

"No...... I'm sorry, I can't sit here without consumption......"

"Okay, bring me a glass of the cheapest juice......" Ye Fang thought that he was only seventeen years old.

“……”

"Huh?" Ye Fang raised his head and found that the other party was looking at him with a surprised gaze, and he reacted, "Bring me the cheapest wine." ”

"Good...... Okay, an old coin. ”

"The cheapest one also costs an old coin?!" Ye Fang turned his head completely and looked at the little girl in front of him with wide eyes.

The other party was a little frightened: "Yes...... Yes...... Black pear brewing needs ...... It takes a lot of ...... So...... So ......"

Ye Fang turned his head to take a look, and noticed that most of the drinkers in this room were just holding a glass of wine and drinking it in one sip, and then thinking of the generally high food prices in Night City, he had to sigh, rub out an old coin from his arms and put it in the little girl's hand, pricking up his ears and starting to listen.

The night is getting darker, but the people in the tavern are gradually increasing, all kinds of people, most of them are low-level people in the safe zone, and many people's information is completely useless, simple complaints or despair about the future.

But there was also a lot of useful information, but the more he listened, the more Ye Fang felt that although this safe zone was located in the midst of calamity, it was no different from a poor and backward medieval town, except that it was surrounded by strangeness.

There are more than 30,000 people living here, and there are bakeries, ready-to-wear stores and even so-called adult entertainment venues, but most of these functional shops are only one or two. Although there are no cattle and sheep here, there are people who run poultry farming, and it is not completely devoid of cattle, sheep and pork, because it is said that in some places where the calamity is weak and the human race is strong, it is said that all kinds of creatures can be raised and transported to the city of the night through this channel, but the beef and mutton that come to the city through this channel are very expensive.

The existence of the Celestial Council not only ensures the operation of a safe zone city, but also connects the safe zones scattered among the various calamities in the eastern continent to form a unique ecological and social system.

Ye Fang is not interested in these basic urban operations, he is more concerned with how to make money - he wants to go to those real big cities, places with knowledge and strong people to find a way back to his own world.

Listening to people's discussions, Ye Fang knew that in this city, only the things that grow along the river and the things in the river are harmless.

Most of the lucrative jobs revolve around the river, such as fishing for a strange fish called "Turanco" in the river, cutting timber, collecting black pears and black plants along the riverbank, and risking some risk to work on plantations outside the safety zone......

However, the benefits of these works were far lower than Ye Fang imagined.

Like what...... Cutting down a "daytime" tree is only a reward for old Japanese coins.

If you go to do this kind of work, you won't even be able to take the first step out of Night City.

And in addition to such jobs, there are also jobs that can earn money, but they come with risks.

That is to be the unveiler.
