At this time, outside the wooden door of the cave, a sound of footsteps came, Li Zhong hurriedly lay down, he didn't want to be seen as abnormal, this is a magical world, it is difficult to guarantee any accidents, before he rebuilds his martial arts, it is better to be safe, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

After Li Zhong lay down, the wooden door at the entrance of the cave was opened, and a figure appeared in the cave room, but it was the old man Old Tom.

As soon as Old Tom came in, he saw that Li Zhong was still sleeping, and immediately shouted loudly: "The kid is up, when is it, he is still sleeping, your injuries should be almost healed, don't pretend to sleep for me, it's your turn to work." ”

Old Tom's voice was deafening, and the entire cave room was buzzing, Li Zhong heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this old Tom is very confident in his medicine, and he clearly knows that after this night, his body has recovered most of it, and his bones have all grown, but there are still some internal injuries that have not healed." ”

Li Zhong slowly opened his eyes, pretended to have just woken up, looked at old Tom and said, "Did you save me?" ”

Old Tom's rosacea snort, and then said: "Of course it's me, otherwise who do you think it is, okay, boy, get up, follow me, we don't have idlers in this settlement, everyone has a job, you start following me today, do some easy things first, and when you recover, you have to help me and repay the resuscitation you take." ”

Li Zhong didn't object when he heard this, but just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Li Zhong knew what the recovery potion that Old Tom was talking about, it was a low-level medicine, something that was often used in the entire human kingdom, it was the essence of various herbs and dark beasts, which was refined and extracted, it was a relatively expensive thing, and ordinary people rarely used it, and they all used pure medicine.

In this world, the hard currency in circulation is the dark crystal coin, the price is set according to the energy content of the crystal coin, the energy is measured in degrees, and the energy contained in an ordinary dark crystal coin is one degree, which can start a charged light bulb and maintain the brightness for an hour.

The black technology of this era is re-established on the basis of human beings, so it is in the same vein as the bright age of advanced technology, but the use of energy is different.

Crystal coins are divided into two orders and six grades, low-level one-degree, ten-degree, and Baidu, and high-level thousand-degree, 10,000-degree, and 100,000-degree high-energy dark crystal coins.

A bottle of primary comprehensive recovery agent is worth a thousand degrees of crystal coins, which is a month's income of ordinary settlement personnel, and the source of crystal coins in the settlement is generally to hunt dark beasts or collect various resources on the earth, and obtain them through transactions with caravans, so they are often underpriced, or exploited.

Recalling this information, Li Zhong knew it in his heart.

Li Zhong has a characteristic, he never owes others favors, since Old Tom saved his life, Li Zhong will naturally repay him, and Li Zhong is very interested in the pharmacy of this world, if he can understand the principle, Li Zhong will be sure that he will quickly practice martial arts again.

The old Tom watched Li Zhong get up from the bed, and without saying much, he turned around and walked outside, and said in a relaxed tone: "Hurry up and follow, Rick is all working." ”

Li Zhong was not slow at his feet, and immediately followed the footsteps of old Tom, Li Zhong walked a few steps, and immediately felt a tingling pain in his body, but he got used to it in a moment, and secretly said in his heart: "The people of this world, the physique is too good, a fifth-level black warrior has been traumatized like that, and he can actually walk on the ground so quickly, although it has the power of medicine, but it is also terrifying." ”

A trace of thought about the human constitution of this world flashed through Li Zhong's mind, and then he followed Old Tom and disappeared into the cave house.

Walking out of the cave, Li Zhong immediately found that the place he was in was an underground tunnel, I don't know what the ventilation system here is, the air is very fresh, not stuffy at all, along the way, passing by a few forks, sometimes there will be a wooden door on the cave wall, marked with a door number, it is a cave for people to live in.

Old Tom said to Li Zhong behind him: "We are an underground settlement here, there are about a thousand people, mainly engaged in collecting ores, and the purchase merchants who come from the city of dusk and various mobile cities to exchange materials to survive, of course, we will also grow some food, but it is only enough to maintain our basic living needs, one more person, it is a burden, I saved your life, but if you want to live here, you must work, and fight for survival materials for yourself, you know." ”

Li Zhong nodded, and said with the same expression: "Got it, thank you, uncle." ”

When the old Tom heard this, he immediately turned back to Li Zhong and said, "Don't call me uncle, call me old Tom, I don't like to be called uncle." ”

When Li Zhong heard this, he was speechless for a while.

As the two walked, Old Tom told Li Zhong about the situation here, so that he had a certain degree of understanding of the current situation of the underground settlement in the living area, and he clearly saw that Li Zhong was an unlucky guy who had just come out of the City of Twilight, and must have completely forgotten the life in the former settlement.

All in all, the settlement in the survival area is a place where materials are relatively scarce, there are no powerful people, most of them are dark warrior level warriors, and the strongest person in the entire settlement is a fifteenth-level warrior.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, through a tunnel of more than a kilometer, the two came to a huge hollow, which was about a thousand zhang square, and there were several wooden houses that were the main force alone.

Old Tom took Li Zhong straight towards the largest of the shops, and there were many people in the hollow, men and women, but most of them were in their thirties and forties, and everyone had to say hello when they saw Old Tom, and they were all smiling.

"Old Tom is good."

"Old Tom, can your resuscitation potion be cheaper, I'm in a hurry to use it."

"Old Tom, my mother is sick, can you come and see it."

"Old Tom, is behind you your new apprentice?"

Li Zhong didn't speak, he quietly followed Old Tom all the way, watching Old Tom talk cordially with the people around him, and it could be seen that Old Tom was very popular and had a high prestige.

It took a quarter of an hour for the two of them to pass through the crowd and come to the store, and as soon as they entered the store, Li Zhong saw a young man sitting behind the counter boredly, which was the first time Li Zhong saw the young man when he woke up.

As soon as old Tom saw the young man, he immediately said loudly: "Rick boy, you are lazy again, why don't you solicit guests for me properly." ”

As soon as Narick heard old Tom say this, he immediately exclaimed: "Wronged, I have been trying to attract customers, but your potion is too expensive, and few people buy it, and you have to pay on credit, how dare I sell it, I can only wait here for the real rich man." ”

When Old Tom heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Expensive, my potion recovery potion is only 500 degrees of crystal coins, which is much cheaper than those vampire merchants in the city, why don't they rob it, these bastard things." ”

Old Tom was indignant, in fact, Old Tom also knew that this was just a settlement, it was originally a place with a bunch of qualifications underground, there were no outstanding talents, and naturally there was no spare money, and the high-level warriors here could still have some income by hunting those dark beasts in the first phase, and could buy his potions, and those who could only mine to make a living could not afford it at all, and sometimes they could only pay on credit.

In fact, Old Tom could have gone to the mobile city a long time ago, but he has been staying here for decades, and he is too old to want to leave, and if he leaves here, then these more than a thousand people will definitely be exploited by those vampire merchants, and he can't bear it.

Old Tom still couldn't help but curse: "This bastard era. ”
