Bruce mentioned in the subsequent explanation that metal is a rare resource in their world, it is an important strategic material, some metals can be used as currency, and some can be used to make various weapons, but only the lords and nobles of the land can have a large amount of metal, and if the commoners hoard too much metal, it will be used as evidence of rebellion against the lord, so if the commoners openly carry a large amount of metal, it is very dangerous behavior.

"Is the main means of transportation you usually use for production a wheelbarrow?" Cheng Shi said, pointing to the wooden wheelbarrow next to Rorty.

Tony nodded: "We civilians mainly use this, the nobles have four-wheeled carriages, and some carriages are still made of metal, of course we can't use such expensive transportation." But those carriages made of metal, though they are luxurious, are not as good as yours. I know you must be nobles from other realms, but we are really just good citizens, so I would like to ask you to raise your noble hands and not embarrass us. ”

"If we want to embarrass you, you are already lying on the ground, a trap dug in the middle of the road, do you really think you can trap us?" Yang Yang said with a look of anger.

Cheng Shi coughed dryly twice, and quickly pushed the somewhat reckless girl aside: "We won't embarrass you, we just want you to lead the way, can we go now?" ”

The three natives nodded their heads in alarm.

"But what about this alchemy device of yours that can be used as a means of transportation?" Bruce asked, confused.

Cheng Shi's thoughts suddenly tightened, thinking that he naturally couldn't let the information bridge complete the transformation in front of the three natives, but he turned his head and saw the trap behind him, so he had a plan: "Didn't you say that few people usually come here?" We'll bury it here and come back to pick it up when we're gone. ”

"It's a matter of the safety of the car, can you discuss it with the car before you make a decision, the car has been with you for so long, there is no credit and hard work, you are going to bury the car alive, and the car will not enter the pit again." Information Bridge immediately resisted the behavior of the stone in his rude treatment of high-tech in the spiritual connection with Cheng Shi.

"Of course you are working hard, this is called a delaying tactic, do you understand? How did you bury it alive? I didn't let you stay in the pit all the time, which means that you will be buried in the earth first, and after we leave, you will complete the transformation below and then teleport to the pocket of this master, so as not to cause a supernatural panic among the three natives, which is the discipline of the company. Cheng Shi explained.

"Only those who bury the dead are called into the ground," the information bridge protested fiercely, "In fact, it is not that the car does not understand the meaning of the owner, but it is not easy to accept it in my heart." ”

"Okay, okay, if there is something similar in the future, this master will discuss it with you first."

After Cheng Shi completed the communication with the information bridge in the spiritual connection, he waved his hand at everyone and motioned for everyone to come over and push the cart.

"Are you really not worried that such a valuable alchemy device will be lost?" Tony said stunned.

Cheng Shi looked indifferent: "This thing is a very ordinary means of transportation on our side, it's okay, it shouldn't be lost." ”

The three natives looked at each other in amazement, and then came up and pushed the cart into the pit together.

After the group buried Wuling Hongguang alive in the wilderness, Cheng Shi and the five of them officially went to the towns of this world under the leadership of three locals.

They walked along the dirt road at their feet for a short time before they entered a dense thicket, through which the sky grew darker, and as Barbara had speculated, the glowing crystal pillars would change as the planet alternated day and night

Brightness. Not long after they set off, Wuling Hongguang completed the transformation into a model car and teleported into Cheng Shi's pocket, and vibrated in his pocket for a long time, Cheng Shi slapped the pocket several times in a row to make the goods stop.

The eight of them chatted while walking, and the five of Cheng Shi quickly got along with the three natives with their extremely frank communication methods, especially Yang Yang and Rorty kept chatting with each other about the new things in each other's world, although most of the topics were about food, but there were talking and laughing, and the two of them even looked like best friends in the eyes of others.

"Aren't we almost there?" Cheng Shi asked after asking about the time in the spiritual connection with the information bridge.

Tony pointed to a small hill in front of him: "We can get there after climbing that mountain, but we are only a small town there, and the food and accommodation conditions are limited, but it is getting late today, you can spend the night first, and we can take you to the city tomorrow." ”

Cheng Shi nodded and smiled slightly: "It's okay, we don't have high requirements for food and accommodation, as long as we can eat enough and live safely." ”

"That's okay, we're all civilians here, plain." Tony said with a smile.

The group climbed the last hill before arriving at the town, the sky was completely darkened, and the crystal pillars in the distance, which were originally emitting pale light, were only faintly blue light in the part close to the clouds, the light was very weak, and it looked like a lighthouse guiding the way, and at this time, the white clouds in the sky were a dark blue, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace in the quiet night.

Looking down, there are low-rise buildings, most of which have lights in their windows, making it clear that this is a human settlement. And some buildings with lanterns hanging at the door, you can still vaguely see the signboard hanging on the door, presumably the business venues in this town.

"Anyway, is metal worth a lot to you?" Cheng Shi thought that the group needed money for food and housing, and when he was about to enter the town, he stopped and looked at Bruce beside him and asked.

Bruce nodded: "It depends on the texture of the metal, the purer and heavier the metal, the more valuable it is." ”

Cheng Shi thought that there was a toolbox in his god car, which contained a lot of metal tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches, wires, etc., and there was a small box, which were not used in the car, and they were not parts of the car, so he asked the information bridge to quietly release a few pieces in his pocket.

"See how much this thing is worth?" Cheng Shi took out a small metal pliers from his pocket and asked in front of Tony.

Tony took the pliers, which he held in his hand at first, then studied them carefully, and then said, "Do you usually carry such delicate metal tools with you when you go out?" ”

Cheng Shi smiled indifferently: "This is a very ordinary tool on our side, and the structure is not exquisite, there are many more in my alchemy device, so if you sell this, is it enough to pay for your food and accommodation here for one night?" ”

Bruce looked panicked when he heard this, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Tony: "It's completely enough, if you believe me, I can take it to the blacksmith and exchange it for you for a good price." ”

Cheng Shi was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Tony's profiteer-like smile, he was relieved, although he knew that Tony would make a lot of money in the transaction of exchanging the wrench for money, but he still chose to trust Tony, because he knew the value of the wrench on the earth.

So he nodded very sincerely: "Of course I believe you, then you can do it, you helped us, we have eight people now, you can divide the money in exchange into eight parts, one for each of us." ”

Tony immediately faced

With a surprise, but it was only a flash, and he calmed down again: "Thank you so much, I will personally help you arrange today's food and accommodation." ”

If the friendship between them was not strong enough, but after this deal was made, Cheng Shi believed that their friendship boat could ride the wind and waves.

It turns out that if you want to make friends with a strange businessman quickly, you have to make a quick deal with him, and let him be profitable with you, if you let them continue to see the hope that doing business with you can make money, then you will quickly become an iron buddy in the eyes of others.

Tony and the three of them quickly took Cheng Shi and the five of them to a tavern where they could eat and stay. It is a two-storey wooden building, square with no yard, and two lanterns hang on either side of the signboard at the entrance, and inside the lantern is an oil lamp. There are very few frills on the outside of the house, but compared to the surrounding houses, it is already a good house.

Before the group entered the door, the tavern guy greeted him with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, are you staying in a hotel or eating?" ”

"Food and shelter." Yang Yang replied first.

The guy immediately made a gesture of reaching out to greet him: "Please take a seat." ”

Maybe it's because the cost of food and lodging in this tavern is higher, or maybe it's the poor taste of the food, anyway, I don't know what the reason is, it's obviously the evening meal, and there are not many people in the hall on the first floor.

A few of them, arranged by the tavern guys, came to a table in the center of the hall and sat down.

"Brother, the air here is so uncomfortable." The little mermaid sitting next to Cheng Shi pouted and muttered.

Cheng Shi glanced at the mermaid sister: "Bear with me for a while, this is equivalent to the ancient society in my brother's hometown, it is an oil lamp to burn, just wait for a while to go to the room." ”

After the hotel guy brought the menu, North stopped paying attention to the PM value of the air in the tavern, and naturally began to order food happily with her second sister.

"I heard that there is movement again in Crystal City, when will I go over and take a look?" A yellow-haired man at the next table said to his dark-haired companion sitting next to him.

"I heard that the wind is very tight now, and metal tools that are not filed can easily be found and confiscated, and the quality of magic energy crystals has become worse and worse over the years, if they are checked on the way back to the city, they may lose more than they gain." The dark-haired man replied cautiously.

The yellow-haired man pointed upwards, "Recently, the rumors about the above have become popular in the city again, have you heard?" ”

When the black-haired man heard this, he immediately looked left and right, and Cheng Shi, who was leaning sideways to listen, hurriedly sat up straight, but he still saw it, he stared at Cheng Shi for a while, and after finding nothing abnormal, he whispered: "Are you crazy?" It's a taboo in the church, and you can't say it in public, what if there are people from the church here? ”

The yellow-haired man was stunned: "This is the countryside, they are all untouchables, and there are people in the city who dare to say that there is nothing to worry about here." ”

The brunette man sighed and stopped talking.

After a while, after the dishes were served, Cheng Shi pretended to be unintentional and casually asked Bruce, "What's over there in Crystal City?" ”

Bruce frowned: "Why don't you even know this?" There are abundant crystals that can store energy, and those crystals can be charged in a place with light during the day and illuminated at night, but only large families can afford to use them, and we poor people can use oil lamps as well. ”

Cheng Shi sighed: "Then can you take us there tomorrow?" ”

When Tony heard the discussion between the two, his face immediately became happy, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his heart.
