Chapter 10 Bounty Column
The commercial street is lined with shops, and the twilight afterglow faintly spreads on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous sin city in front of you.
This is one of the shopping streets in the 7th arrondissement of Sin City.
If you've never been to Sin City, it's hard to imagine how orderly it would be. Moren was taken aback, and here, for the first time, he found the shadow of another world that he had once known.
There is no imaginary chaos, garbage everywhere, beggars and orphans squatting in filthy corners begging for food, prostitutes dressed up in foundation to receive customers, fights, bleeding and death, etc., everything imaginable, nothing. Next to the street, every other stretch of road, there will be a green plastic bucket, and people will consciously throw their garbage in it. The streets are clean and refreshing, and every once in a while, you can see a cleaner in a horse-drawn carriage appearing, as long as he finds garbage, he stops the carriage, takes out tools and patiently cleans it, and the garbage that is piled up and filled with plastic buckets will be dumped into the carport and transported away.
The pedestrians dressed in strange costumes, laughed and laughed, and seemed to have an unusually harmonious relationship.
Mo Lun was in a trance, if it weren't for the fact that the garbage truck had changed from a hovering car to a horse-drawn carriage, he would have thought that he had returned to the world he had once been.
There was an advertising board in front of him, and Morun stopped, crossed the street, and came under the billboard. There were already some pedestrians watching, and at first glance, he saw a whole row of bounty orders:
Wanted: Life or Death - Luff Lou Yue - $: 150/10,000 - Three/77 House
Wanted: Life or Death - Ace - $: 175/10,000 - Room IV/101
Wanted: Undamaged - Monica Bellucci - $: 1550/10,000 - II/007
Wanted: Life or Death - Koizumi Ichiro Maru - $: 30/10,000 - City Hall
Below Wanted, there is a portrait of a character that occupies 50% of the page, which clearly and vividly depicts the demeanor of the wanted criminal.
Mo Lun's eyes were immediately attracted by these bounty notices, "$" is the symbol of the world's currency, he knows this. But he didn't quite understand the "three/77 house, room, and building" in the last row, which should be the address of the bounty party or delivery point.
It's a newcomer, although there are all kinds of misunderstandings and doubts. But Morun was already fascinated by this wonderful city, and he was ready to get to know it and see what the difference was between "District 1" and "District 7".
Twelve bounties occupy four-fifths of the advertising board, followed by messages:
——Farke Auction House "3/28" Seven-tailed Arowana held the final round of bidding.
——Four Seasons Begonia: One hundred bottles of "crystal spirit liquid" are officially sold.
- Transfer of House 101 in District 4.
——The Cumulus Room in District 3 is looking for three doctors.
- The feast of the night has long been in demand for nosebleeds.
- Five Districts and Seven Deadly Sins Initiation Trial: Ten people.
......
Moren frowned and read through all the information, not finding what he was looking for.
"It seems that I can only go to the "material store" first. ”
Morun temporarily lives in a small restaurant, and walks around the 7th arrondissement as soon as it is dawn. Before seeing the advertising column, he originally wanted to go to the "material store" to see that the Tuojing Potion still lacked the main medicine - bee seeds. But after seeing the billboard, he decided to find out if there was a house for rent or sale, preferably a separate cottage or yard.
It's a pity that there is no whole advertising column. Actually, it's not that there isn't, but it doesn't fit his ideas. Conveyance of House 101 in District 4. As far as Moren knew, Sin City's districts 1 through 7 were a different class representing wealth and power—from high to low.
The 7th arrondissement is a place where ordinary people gather. The consumption here is the lowest, the housing prices are the cheapest, the materials are the most ordinary, and the entertainment venues are the worst - the low-level districts! But Morun feels that this place is very much in line with his heart, with his wealth of more than 6 million, he may be able to rent/buy houses in the seventh, sixth and even fifth districts, but above the fourth district, it is not something he can afford. A small restaurant in District 7 will cost 2,000 world dollars overnight, not to mention District 4, let alone buying, even if you rent a room, it is estimated that the monthly rent will not be less than 100,000 world dollars.
He's here to cultivate, not to enjoy, the seventh district is very good and suitable for him!
Of course, that's not to say that District 7 is bad, it's just relative. District 7 may not be as good as Districts 1 to 6, but for most cities in the Fire Country, it is still a place of high spending, and it belongs to the City of Sin.
......
Somewhat disappointed, he came out of a material shop, and Moren looked further away, there were no bees here, and he had to keep looking.
After walking for about 2,000 kilometers and up a high slope, Molun saw another advertising board.
Skipping the bounty notice, Morren found the smaller information.
- Full-time bridge damage, call on earth ninjas to participate in repairing $: 30,000.
- Nana Bakery is looking for "Wood Pastry Chef/Water Mixer".
- "Bell", the master bartender of the Catino Tavern, presents a new wine: Blue Margaret.
- Cottage No. 50 in District 7 for rent.
Seeing the last piece of information, Morun's eyes lit up.
Rising swept the surrounding house numbers and immediately walked in the direction of the right.
More than ten minutes later, Morun arrived at Hut. 50.
It is a two-story building with a small house made of lapissanite. There is a façade of more than 60 square meters on the first floor, only a small door is opened at this time, and a door plaque is hung on the wall, which reads the word "green shade", and I don't know what it means. From the outside, you can see that there are two windows on the second floor, one open and one closed.
Morlun looked at the small stone tablet in front of the door and made sure that it was Hut. 50, and then walked in.
The room was a little dark, a dim chandelier hung from the ceiling, a round table was placed on the left and right, and all four stools were placed on the table, on which a thin layer of dust had accumulated. In front is the counter, and behind the counter there is a wooden shelf, the counter is very clean and seems to be wiped down frequently.
Morun looked left and right, but saw no one.
The chip was swept away, and there was no one.
It seems that the owner of the house has gone out, and Mo Lun just wanted to wait outside, when his heart suddenly moved, and he shouted tentatively: "Is there anyone?"
"Da Da Da ......"
Rapid footsteps sounded, and Moren tilted his head to look into the shadows, where there was a wooden staircase leading to the second floor, and the sound of footsteps came from here. Morlun frowned, it seemed that in Sin City, Rising's detection was not necessarily accurate. It's just a rented hut with ninjas, or people with special blades.
In the shadows, a delicate figure stepped out. Morun looked and saw that the other party was a woman about thirty years old.
"May I ask ......," the voice hesitated.
Mo Lun smiled: "I saw the notice for renting a cabin, is Cabin 50 here?"
"Rental?" The woman obviously hadn't reacted yet, and after thinking for a while, she realized, "I know." Yes, we announced this information here some time ago, and it seems to have been posted on the bounty box No. 4. ”
"This is news from a month ago, but I didn't expect it to be revoked. The woman said, taking a stool from the table for Moren to sit on.
Moren asked, "Have you found a tenant?"
"Not really. The woman shook her head.
"Since I haven't already, can I rent this cottage?" Morun looked at the other party.
The woman shook her head again, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"Why?" Moren wondered.
The woman did not answer immediately, but asked, "What drink do you want to drink?" I have tea here and sour cocoa. ”
"No thanks!"
"If you come half a month earlier, you might still be able to rent it. But now...... My cottage is ready to be sold. The woman finally took a glass of sour cocoa and gave it to Morun.
Mo Lun didn't move the drink, but after thinking about it, he stood up and looked around: "Can I go up and have a look?"
He pointed up.
The woman was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to buy it?"
"Didn't you say you're going to sell?" Morun took a few steps, "As for whether to buy or not, you have to look at the situation upstairs to decide." ”
"Follow me!" the woman was very cheerful and led the way.
Stepping on the solid wood stairs to the living room on the second floor, Rising swept through and easily got the overall layout of the house.
The woman led the way in front, passed by a room, and said lightly: "I live here, the layout inside is the same as another room, I'll take you to see it." ”
This is a room for miscellaneous items, 40 square meters, with a window from which you can see the street when you came.
After looking at the room, the woman took Morun to the balcony at the back. Just as he walked to the balcony, Mo Lun suddenly felt embarrassed. I saw several women's underwear hanging on the balcony, including a pair of sexy black tights. The woman didn't seem to realize it, he couldn't help but touch his nose, hurriedly glanced at the balcony and walked back to the living room.
The moment he turned around, the corners of the woman's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a touching smile, and the charm of a mature woman was silently emanated.
A strange glint flashed in Morun's eyes, and he quickly faded away and calmly walked down the stairs.
"What is the price of this house?" Morun's face was normal.
The woman smiled and said, "I see that you also have the heart to buy it, so it's 6,000 fire gold." ”
"6,000 fire?"
Mo Lun was stunned, looked up and down at the somewhat old houses again, and sneered: "I think it's faster for you to go directly to grab the world treasury." "With a full 3 million world coins, he is not wronged.
"I'm kidding you!" the woman's smile remained unchanged, but her tone became serious: "2000 fire gold, if you want, you can go to the "City Hall" now." ”
"Deal. Morun suddenly made a decision.
This time, the woman's smile was gone, and she said strangely: "Don't you think about it?"
"No, I think the price is fair. Let's go to the "City Hall" to complete the handover formalities!" Morun waved his hand and walked out.
Looking at Mo Lun's back, the woman hesitated for a while, she looked back at the stairs in the shadows, her face changed several times, and finally she stomped her foot and hurriedly followed. She didn't notice that Morun was walking in front of her, and she was already smiling meaninglessly.
When the two of them left the hut, their figures were about to disappear.
In the shadows of the room, a burly male figure gradually revealed, and stared at Mo Lun's distant back with a gloomy face.
