Chapter 12: Asking for Directions
Li Chen and the others originally wanted to go to Bai Xiaohua's weapon shop to customize some big knives, but halfway through, Li Chen suddenly remembered something.
Bai Xiaohua spent 50 Red Thunder Crystals to buy a refined long sword, so how much money would he have to spend to meet the needs of 165 tribal guards?
It's all close to 200 purple thunder crystals.
That's not enough money.
Thinking of this, Li Chen could only give up this idea, and instead only bought 1 refining longbow and 500 refining level armor-piercing arrows, spending a total of 5.5 purple thunder crystals.
Among them, the refining level armor-piercing arrows accounted for the majority, and a total of 5 purple thunder crystals were spent, and each armor-piercing arrow was worth 1 red thunder crystal, which was neither high nor low.
In the past, black ore was not a special arrow mineral, but now that it can be bought, it is naturally better to use it well.
As for why not use Ma Zheng to make it?
Because Ma Zheng is only an armor maker after all, although he also knows a thing or two about making weapons, he still can't make 'advanced' weapons in the end, so Li Chen can only spend money to buy them.
Others don't need to buy weapons specifically.
Bai Xiaohua has a sword, Gou Wuyi has his own "Gnashing Fang", Luo Jin has a blood tattoo on his body, and he also has a green rock stick, and Mu Yu can control plants.
No one needs weapons except him.
After buying the equipment, Li Chen beckoned everyone to go to a store that sold clothes to buy some spare clothes, including their men and Muyu, and then went to a big restaurant called Juxiangju.
"Boss, is there a private room?" Li Chen asked the old man sitting behind the wooden counter.
"Yes, yes, yes. The old man put down the pen in his hand, looked at Li Chen and the people behind him with a smile, and said, "Now there is a seven-person room on the second floor, do you need it?"
"Okay. Li Chen nodded, and then walked towards the second floor with everyone.
Squeaky ~ squeaky ~
The sound of feet stepping on the floor sounded from behind everyone, and the person who came seemed to be extremely heavy, and when he walked, the floor made a series of unbearable squeaks, as if it was about to break in the next second.
Li Chen and the others took a curious look, and found that the person who came was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy wearing gorgeous brocade, with a round body and a look of at least more than 200 catties, and he was followed by two attendants in white, who looked a little cultivated.
"Boss Zhang!" said the fat boy fanning, "I still have my private room, right?"
Boss Zhang was the old man just now, and when the old man saw this young man come in, his face instantly became respectful.
"Of course, Young Master Shen's single room has always been kept, and I will send someone to clean it every day, Young Master Shen. ”
"Yes. The young man surnamed Shen smiled with satisfaction, and then said as he walked upstairs, "Give me another table according to yesterday's dishes." ”
"The cook who cooks is good, and the dishes he makes are very good for my appetite, reward him with 10 red thunder crystals!"
When the words fell, he had already walked upstairs and disappeared, and the white-clothed attendant behind him stopped after hearing the young man's words, walked up to the boss and gave him 10 red thunder crystals.
"I'll give it to him myself!"
Boss Zhang shouted upstairs with a loud voice, but no one replied.
The paying attendant also hurried upstairs after giving the money.
Li Chen: They witnessed the whole process.
"Are you so rich?" Li Chen couldn't help but smack his tongue a little.
With a wave of his hand, it is 10 red thunder crystals, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan on the earth.
"Who is this guy?" Li Chen couldn't help but ask Boss Zhang.
"Who are you asking him?" Boss Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "You are outsiders, right?"
“...... Kindness. Li Chen hummed depressedly.
Why do you always feel that it is a loss to bring this title of outsider......
This boss Zhang also doesn't play dumb riddles, and directly and enthusiastically explained:
"That Young Master Shen just now is the fourth son of the Shen family, one of the three major families in Luling City!"
"The Shen family has been a medical merchant for generations, and they are the richest people in Luling City, and even in the entire Lei country, they have a great reputation. ”
Li Chen and the others nodded suddenly.
Doctors!
No wonder it's so rich.
In the previous life, the pharmaceutical trade was already known for its huge profits, let alone on this continent where martial arts were respected.
There are more people who are injured every day for various reasons, and the pharmaceutical trade must be more developed!
"Well, it's just a pity. At this moment, Boss Zhang suddenly sighed.
"Why?" asked Li Chen.
"Just a month ago, the head of the Shen family, 'Shen Wei', died of a sudden illness. His face was full of regret, "That Shen is the head of the family is a great good person, and he can also be regarded as the master of the Shen family, the Shen family is in the hands of this family master, and in just ten years, the scale of the Shen family has expanded by seven or eight times, and the trade scope has expanded to one-third of the Lei country, which is why the Shen family is today." ”
"Now that the Shen family is inherited by his son 'Shen Hao', who is just in his 20s, I don't know what the Shen family will become in the hands of this young man in the future. ”
"I hope it won't fall, it's also the symbol of my Luling City. ”
Li Chen nodded, there was an inexplicable glint in his eyes, he thought about it and asked casually, "Old man, you just said that the Shen family has three major families, so in addition to the Shen family, what are those two families?"
"Hey, hey. Boss Zhang smiled, and then explained: "In addition to the Shen family, there are also the Mo family, which specializes in weapon manufacturing, and the Zhou family, the city lord of Luling City. ”
"That's it. Li Chen nodded, then turned his head to look at Mu Yu and them, "You go upstairs to order food first, and I'll go up later." ”
“...... Good. They didn't ask much, just nodded, and then went upstairs.
Seeing this, Li Chen walked out of Juxiangju and looked at the passers-by who came and went on the street.
He wanted to find someone to ask about the location of the Mo family.
He glanced at the people around him, and quickly found the person he was looking for directions.
It was a family of three, the woman was ordinary-looking, the man was very thin, their faces were a little pale, but they kept their heads up and stared at the passers-by.
It was naturally not these two people who caught Li Chen's attention, but a little girl next to the woman.
This little girl looks like she is seven or eight years old, but she looks very delicate and cute, although her face is a little pale, but she still looks very cute, and the passers-by around can't help but look at this little girl.
Li Chen walked over, greeted the two adults with a smile, and then asked, "May I ask how the Mo family is going?"
The emaciated and pale man glanced at him, looking at the gorgeous azure clothes on his body, the squint in his expression dissipated a little, but he still pointed in one direction and said a little arrogantly: "Go forward two hundred meters, turn left and walk two more streets." ”
"Thank you!" Li Chen thanked.
"No thanks. The thin and pale man smiled casually, glanced at him and said proudly, "You are dressed well, and your taste is still good, otherwise I won't pay attention to you." ”
"It's like I don't care about the poor people around me. ”
When he said this, he glanced at the people around him in disgust, and the middle-aged woman, who was suspected of being a mother, also made the same expression.
The people around couldn't help but look at each other angrily when they saw this, and a few people even faintly thought of doing something.
Li Chen looked at him in amazement, and then looked at what this family was wearing.
But it's just coarse linen
...... On what basis did he say such a thing?
Li Chen was a little puzzled.
"Did you misunderstand something?" he couldn't help but say.
"What misunderstanding?" the emaciated pale man looked at him with a frown, then waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Don't be on our way, we're going home." ”
"Oh...... Good. Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then walked away, watching the family of three walk towards the city gate.
"Goodbye, brother. ”
At this moment, the little girl in the family of three, who had just walked a short distance, suddenly turned her head and said goodbye to him sweetly.
The little girl's face was pale, but her smile was so pure and clean, which made people feel pity.
"Goodbye!" Li Chen couldn't help but smile and waved goodbye to her.
"Childe ......" Luo Jin's voice came from above Li Chen's head, Li Chen looked up and found that Luo Jin was leaning out of the window of Juxiangju and beckoned him: "The dish is ready." ”
"Good. ”
The location was already known, and Li Chen, who had achieved the goal, didn't think much about the behavior of this family and walked back to Juxiangju.
