This is the underground world of Xianglong City.

According to Xiaobu, all the big cities of Pink Star are full of caves of all sizes. This is due to the difficult conditions of the early Blue Star colonists when they first arrived, and they had to find a place with caves to stay. Slowly, people gathered more and more, and eventually these cities were formed. Only a small part of these underground caves are natural, and most of them were excavated at a later stage. The underground caves of Xianglong City are the most developed on the Pink Star, they crisscross and connect a complex underground network, many ordinary people, people without household registration, and people engaged in illegal businesses live here, and some people have never even been on the ground in their lives.

The people who live here are very well connected, and they almost never disturb the lives of the people above them on the ground. Even if the people on the ground come down to experience the underground life for the sake of curiosity, they will maintain full respect and will not be rude. They work diligently, providing various services to the people on the ground, disposing of all kinds of garbage. To be a useful person to the nobles, this is the reason why the underground world exists to this day. Because they know that only if they don't get in the way of the nobles' affairs and help the nobles' lives, they can continue to live here and enjoy the mellow aura of the pink star.

Lang Tianya followed Xiaobu around the street and entered the underground in a basement-style place. The underground passage could not be said to him to be just spacious, it should be said to be empty. The narrowest aisle is also ten meters wide and more than five meters high, and every ten meters or so there is a light charm hanging on the roof of the cave. As Xiao Bu passed by, he touched the contacts on the cave wall from time to time. Lang Tianya asked him what he was doing, and Xiaobu said that he was infusing the light talisman with aura. It is the responsibility of the psions to recharge the light talismans in the underground passages. A small amount of aura can be filled, and a single charge can make the light charm light up for dozens of days. Not only do the spiritual powers who live underground consciously fulfill this obligation, but even the spiritual powers on the ground will respect this tradition when they occasionally come down to visit.

There are both homes and shops, and some of them are as big as the big shopping malls on earth.

Lang Tianya was standing in front of a handicraft workshop shop at this time, watching the people inside work. The person who worked was a middle-aged uncle with a height of about two meters and two or three, and Lang Tianya observed his dark domain, which should only be at the level of the initial pole in terms of its depth and concentration. The uncle was holding a long talisman and was working on a piece of wood. He swept the wood with a talisman, and sawdust fell from the wood crackling, and then it turned into a lifelike beast's head. Lang Tianya then understood why Xiaobu laughed at his craftsmanship for being useless, everyone was using magic talismans to create sculptures, that was really a crumb, no craftsmanship was needed at all, and the image in his mind became a reality when he scanned it. Here, who would have seen the things he carved with his hands?

The uncle attached the carved beast's head to a carved torso, and then began to mount the limbs and tail, and in a moment, a monster as tall as Lang Tianya appeared in front of him. Xiao Bu introduced on the side: "This is the Soul Eater, the mortal enemy of our human race. ”

Lang Tianya looked at the monster a little stunned, and thought, "Isn't this Lord Gubao?" Except for the fact that it is a little small, everything else is exactly the same. ”

"Tell me about the battle in Blue Star." The two walked out of the workshop, and Lang Tianya said to Xiaobu.

Xiao Bu looked back and forth at the people who had seen the Dao in twos and threes, and said, "If I have a chance to talk to you alone, now I should care about eating and living first!" ”

Lang Tianya thought about it, Jue Xiaobu's views on the monster war might be different from the mainstream views, so it was inconvenient for him to say it in public. He thought about it again, and it was important to solve the problem of money first. He looked at the rune bone money in the money boxes in those shops and asked, "You guys are using physical currency here, I didn't notice it before, this should be a piece of polished rune bones, right?" ”

"Yes. They are all made of some rough rune bones, and these rune bones are too thick to make talismans, let alone make talismans. There are many kinds of money, some of which have only one card slot, and some of which have more than a dozen cards. The runes were too rough to be used on simple agricultural tools or heavy instruments, except for being polished into coins. For example, the Soul Eater model just now may use some of these runes to design a small program that can make it active, mainly to amuse children. ”

Lang Tianya sighed in his heart, people are like being robots and playing here, and people on the earth are still cutting-edge technology and are working hard to research. I don't know if there are rune bones in the dinosaur skeletons in those museums on Earth, but unfortunately I don't have a chance to know.

"What about money cards, who issued money cards, and who vouched for the value of money cards?" Lang Tianya asked again.

"Money cards were originally used as credit vouchers for large transactions between large families. Large families generally set up rune libraries, which store a large number of high-grade rune bones, magic runes, runes, etc., and these rune libraries will issue this kind of credit charm card for the use of people in the family. Later, this spell card slowly flowed into the society, and everyone felt that it was very convenient to use, so it became popular. It is all issued and guaranteed by the runes of the large family. The money cards I used were issued by different families, mainly to avoid being tracked down when I used only one. ”

The two of them talked and walked, and after a while they entered a large square stall-like area. Lang Tianya suddenly saw a large number of talismans piled up on a stall that collected discarded talismans, some of which were obviously operating talismans, and his eyes lit up unconsciously, "This should be a good opportunity to open the golden finger." ”

He discussed with Xiao Bu: "You see if this method works, you see that there are no operators, I go up and 'eat' enough operators, and a large number of different types of operating programs will accumulate in the dark domain, and then I use these operating programs to pick up the protection programs of those runes that have lost operators, wouldn't it be able to absorb a large number of card slots?" ”

"But we don't have any money, you won't think about secretly 'eating' other people's talismans, we don't like stealing in this world, and these people are low-class people who can only earn some hard-earned money, and you will bankrupt your family if you do this." Xiaobu said.

Lang Tianya was furious, he first glanced at Xiaobu, and then said: "I have a problem with being greedy for small things, but I am not a thief!" How could I steal from someone? Don't you still have six old talismans, can you trade them for some of his operators, but let me pick one of his talismans. ”

Xiao Bujue's feasible. So he went up to negotiate with the stall owner, and he only took out three old talismans to trade for the sake of insurance. Seeing that he was from the upper echelons, the stall owner not only agreed to the deal, but also politely stated that he would only receive a 10 percent commission. In other words, he only extracts 10% of the total card slots in these three talismans, and the other 90% can be replaced with the old operators with the same card slots.

The deal was closed and the parties began handing over the goods. I saw that the stall owner took out a detector charm and scanned it at the three talismans, and then reported a figure of 45,322 cards. The stall owner was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many card slots in these three old talismans. In fact, these old talismans are all high-quality products that Xiaobu has paid for many years, and some of them he has spent a lot of money, and each of them has tens of thousands of card programs.

Excluding the 10 percent rake, there are 40,790 calories. In other words, Lang Tianya can pick out the same number of operators in this pile of talismans. Lang Tianya squatted on the ground and picked it slowly, every time the operator passed, he first checked whether there was a secret key, if there was a secret key, he gave up, if there was no secret key, he put it aside first. In a few moments, he picked out a large number of those that did not have the key.

In the second step, he tried his best to pick those with different internal procedures among the pile of keyless talismans, which were very different. In the end, he singled out about 700 operators. He straightened up and was about to call the stall owner over to settle the account, but found that the stall owner was doing a very interesting job, so he motioned to Xiao Bu not to disturb the stall owner first, and he and Xiao Bu stood aside to watch the stall owner work.
