Chapter 125: Trouble Comes Naturally
Qin Shi stuffed the sword and notes given to him by Uncle Martin into the space ring, pinned the iris, cleaned up and dressed up, and took Xiao Hei out to forage for food.
Qin Shi also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take a closer look at the customs and customs of the Juyang Port.
Although he has transferred many records about the customs and customs of the galaxy world from his home planet along the way, what he says in the book is different from what he sees with his own eyes.
Qin Shi, who had just left the ancient land of Egypt, felt fresh about everything outside.
Juyang Port is a place of drunken gold fans.
The people who come and go here are basically the giants of the galaxy world, the children of wealthy families, and the alien races of the galaxy have also set up bases here, buying luxury goods in the human world and selling the treasures of their own races.
Juyang Port is a free port, and it is also the money bag of Emperor Yin and Tang. Yin Tang hardly collects any taxes here, but the royal family firmly grasps the most profitable industry, and forty percent of the royal family's annual expenses come from here.
Qin Shi inquired about a few lively places, and hurried over with Xiao Hei.
There is one place that Qin Shi wants to see the most.
Liberty Square.
When Qin Shi was scavenging in the Ancient Land Wasteland, his biggest dream was to awaken the Force one day and appear in the Freedom Square at the Juyang Port.
Then get a job as an adventurer here, explore the galaxy world, and set foot in a prosperous or desolate world that he has never set foot in.
It's just that Qin Shi didn't know at that time that the place where the adventurer went was actually not much different from Gu Lu.
Now that Qin Shi has seen more, his mentality has changed, but this does not prevent him from wanting to see this place.
After asking for directions a few times, Qin Shi quickly found the so-called Freedom Square. It's just that the environment is a little different from what those adventurers from the Star World who came from afar in Qingning Town.
“…… Mighty knights and courageous adventurers, as well as rude mercenaries and damned thieves, Amstel Corporation's bounty for the new season is about to be announced...... Hmm, ahem! This damn place, like a pigsty! It stinks......"
This sentence resonated with Qin Shi. The streets around Juyang Port are orderly and full of traffic, and in this area, the huge square and the surrounding streets are very chaotic, and there will be an unknown stench wafting around from time to time, which is disgusting.
On a high platform in Liberty Square, an old man in an old-time tuxedo and a black civilization staff in his hand complained vigorously and cleared his throat.
He shook the parchment in his hand, picked up the glasses with a single gold chain, and read aloud the contents of the parchment in a rude tone that was very inappropriate with his identity, disgusted by the smell of the air.
Across the street, Qin Shi could also hear the sound of the old man piercing his eardrums. However, his attention at the moment was not on the content of the old man's speech. There are so many things that catch his eye in this place.
The streets were crowded, with the steam locomotives spewing steam and black smoke roaring along the main road, and the drivers chimeling their bells and greeting the slow carriages and pedestrians crossing the road in foul and vicious language.
These scenes are all lively that can't be seen in the ancient land, even in Twilight City, Qin Shi has never been able to see such vitality.
The travelers' attire also looks rather odd.
If it weren't for sailors or adventurers, most of the rest of the men and women were basically dressed as a mixture of metal and leather, but in Qin Shi's professional eyes, the teeth and guards on the leather armor on most people's bodies appeared in places where they shouldn't be, and there was no other use except for the spars with beautiful patterns and some luminous functions.
If you appear on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers can easily split these armors in half.
Qin Shi also saw that many people wearing armor still had exaggerated masks on their faces. The standard of the mask is still the style that Yin Sa has worn. The leather base is buckled with a metal chain, and a long-pointed metal bird peck sticks out of the mouth where it breathes.
"Is this the fashion of Galaxy World?"
Qin Shi rubbed his face vigorously and muttered to himself, "What do you call them in the book?" Retro punk, or rock punk? …… By the way, it's steampunk...... Uncle likes this kind of punk regimen the most......" Qin Shi has always been unimpressed with his uncle's taste, and at this moment, he feels that this kind of taste is strange everywhere.
Qin Shi looked at his clothes, wondering whether he should follow the customs of the locals and change into such an exaggerated outfit?
Qin Shi transferred information from his home planet. This slightly pompous style of clothing is steampunk. The epidemic began hundreds of years ago. In fact, even Qin Shi did not believe that this style actually came out of the excavation of ancient land ruins.
Archaeological discoveries have unearthed many giant teeth and oddly shaped tools and clothing, although it has not been possible to directly find the energy supply at that time. However, with this discovery, the matrix master of the galaxy world who supported the "electric energy theory" of pseudo-primordial mechanics fell into the abyss and was defeated as a heretic. Immediately, the "cultural renaissance" promoted by the Force masters began to gradually move from the laboratory of the Matrix Masters to the masses.
The scene that Qin Shi saw was the scene after the Renaissance at that time. It's just that Yin Tang is more conservative than other galaxy worlds, and this kind of culture is in the ascendant at the moment, and places like Juyang Port, which are more affected by the atmosphere of the galaxy world, are more popular.
Qin Shi looked up at the gray haze sky, and many transport ships seemed to be flying slowly but actually flying across the clouds. The sky was gray and heavy, and the sky at the mouth of the Great Ocean was not as beautiful as it had been seen when looking down from the void.
“…… The unrepentant electrotheist, the evil Matrix Master Nicholas Caesar's bounty is doubled to five million gold coins, or the equivalent of potions or weapons and kinetic arrays, the choice is yours...... Second, look for the ghost castle in the southern continent, the price is the same, you need to get the castle key or specific coordinates...... Thirdly, explore the map of the Lobasu settlement in the Black Spring system or the map of the Dark Demon Domain......"
Qin Shi had already crossed the street and came to the edge of the square. The square was already crowded with explorers and adventurers from all over the world, and the crowd erupted from time to time with exclamations or cheers. Some were shocked by the amount of bounties, but more were shocked by the difficulty of Amster's task this quarter.
Most of the adventurers in the square knew very well that the strength of themselves or their team was far from reaching the level of the task issued by the old man. These tasks are destined to belong to a few, or no one at all. What they're waiting for is actually what they're posting later.
In the port of the Great Ocean, and indeed in the whole known world, the Amst Company from Babylon has a remarkable reputation.
Once the mandate is completed, the reward is often higher than the price at which it was originally issued. Therefore, no matter what planet it is, Amst's bounty is the first choice for adventurers.
“…… Amstel Corporation offers a certain amount of interest-free loans to reputable teams and individuals of adventurers, which can be deducted from the bounty after completing the mission...... Amstel will continue to provide the most intimate service to all reputable heroes and potential newcomers......"
The old man's last words sparked a burst of laughter in the square. But there is no doubt that the investment or loan provided to the adventurer is the real reason why the adventurer is eager for the reward.
Qin Shi looked at the adventurers around him, his mood was complicated, and he suddenly laughed. He had wanted to be one of them.
After laughing, Qin Shi also began to think about his future.
"Hey, boy, is this your dog?"
A young man with oily hair and a powdery face, followed by seven or eight subordinates, when he passed by Qin Shi, he suddenly saw Xiao Hei squatting next to Qin Shi, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to Qin Shi's nose and asked.
"This is a hyena, not a dog."
Qin Shi was thinking about his future, when he was suddenly interrupted from his train of thought, and there was a lot of displeasure in his heart. When I looked up, I saw a young man who was a head taller than me asking questions.
The young man was wearing valuable armor. But most of the arrays on this armor are flashy, and when activated, they will emit all kinds of dazzling brilliance, which is very eye-catching. However, it doesn't help much with combat power.
The young man even hung two loose bags under his eyes, the dark circles under his eyes were very serious, and his steps were frivolous. However, the Force aura on his body is also obvious, and the two-level Force is the existence of scum in the ancient land, and it is also inconspicuous in the galaxy world. But after having a prominent family background, this bit of power is enough to bully men and women.
"Aha?!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then crossed his waist, looked up to the sky and laughed: "This kid is really interesting......
Qin Shi frowned. If this guy hadn't taken his hand back, he would have wanted to reach out and break this guy's finger.
Xiao Hei heard someone call it a dog, and he was already a little angry at the moment, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. However, the young man who was about to come to the catastrophe and the few thugs behind him didn't know how terrible Xiao Hei was, and laughed dryly with the young man.
"The young master has a good temper today, so I don't care about you." After the young man finished laughing, he said lazily: "In this place, don't talk about hyenas, I, Zhao Tianjia, said that your kid is a dog, and you can only be a dog...... Zhao Tianjia glanced at Qin Shi contemptuously.
"The young master is really getting kinder and kinder, no wonder Miss Qianqian favors the young master...... Tut-tut...... "There is a retinue next to him, and the sycophants are like a tide."
"I have taken a fancy to your dog, Laifu, bring it back with a circle, bring it back, give him ten gold coins. Young master, I have not been a bully for many years, tsk, this kindness, Lao Tzu has been moved......"
While speaking, Zhao Tianjia also stretched out his hand, ready to pinch it on Qin Shi's face.
"It's ......"
Qin Shi was very helpless, before the old cannon left, he repeatedly told him not to cause trouble, but it backfired, the trouble he caused seemed to take the initiative to come to the door, and he really didn't take the initiative to cause trouble.
"Click!"
Qin Shi stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Tianjia's middle finger, and with a forceful break, he broke it!
