Chapter 57: First Arrival in Chaos City
Yang Pingwei, who did not know that he had won a three-legged bronze wine bottle, finally arrived at the western edge of the Far Corner Great Forest after a long journey of more than 20 days.
Compared with Yang Pingwei's reservedness, and Qin Han, who also didn't know that his wine bottle was about to change hands, he was not as poor as a scholar, and he was laughing uncontrollably without any image, expressing his infinite joy with everyone.
After suffocating for more than 20 days in a gloomy forest where the sky has always been obscured by leaves, and now suddenly coming to an open wilderness with high ground and high ground, this feeling is like a criminal who has escaped from a cage and a fish that has dived into the sea, as if he has suddenly removed the shackles of his whole body, gained long-lost freedom, and felt relaxed and comfortable.
The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Pingwei smiled and watched everyone vent to their heart's content, without interrupting them, waiting quietly, estimating that the time was almost up, before he faked a cough and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone should stop in moderation." β
"Hehehe..."
"Hey... Do you say you're tired?" Because they often partner together, Qin Han also lost the restraint he had when he faced Yang Pingwei, a scholar, at the beginning, so his behavior and language gradually became casual, and he said with a smile, "Pay attention to this and that all day long, for fear of damaging the dignity of the reader, tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Yang Pingwei pursed his lips helplessly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said: "Now that the most difficult part of the road is over, we have officially entered the realm of the Atonement Wilderness, and the next challenge we face is no longer a 'natural disaster', but a 'man-made disaster', so we should be more vigilant before we relax." β
Speaking of this, Yang Pingwei accentuated his tone and said: "Tianwei is unpredictable, but people's hearts are even more unpredictable!"
Eh, Qin Han smiled disappreciatively: "You scholars just like to be alarmist, how can it be so serious?
"They are not the savage natives of the forest, they are the mainstream natives of this world, they are from the civilized world like us, and they are a group of vicious scum of the civilized world, what are the scumbags? cunning and insidious, murderous and shameless, treacherous, there is nothing they dare not do for the sake of profit. They are no worse than us, and they are even stronger than us in martial arts. So... Put away your sense of superiority, lower your arrogant heads, if our interests are damaged because of anyone's carelessness......" Yang Pingwei glared at Qin Han and said sharply, "... This official will not tolerate it!"
"Ugly words are ahead, don't blame the official for being polite when the time comes!"
Seeing that Yang Pingwei was serious this time, whether everyone sincerely agreed or disagreed, they all promised loudly on the surface, after all, the chief's face must be given.
It's just that Qin Han couldn't get off the stage for a while, although he thought that Yang Pingwei was reasonable, but he still turned his head and snorted dissatisfiedly.
And suddenlyβ
"Ah! Mighty men who are rampant in the Wilderness of Atonement, your good days are over, and your terminator, Lord Shan Cheng, has set foot on this magical hot land! Stay where you are, wash your neck, and greet the arrival of Lord Shan Cheng in the most pious posture!
"Ah! Ladies struggling in the wilderness of atonement, your good days have come, and your savior, Lord Shan Cheng, will step on the colorful clouds and carry the morning sun on his back, and move forward on the wilderness! Obediently dress up at home, make the bed, and wait for Uncle Ben's blessing with the most beautiful style! Hehehehehe..."
Along the way, Shan Cheng, who didn't care about anything, seemed to be charged, his eyes were full of passion, he looked up affectionately into the distance, and the second middle school knelt on one knee, waved his fist vigorously, and swore to say.
Everyone looked at Shan Cheng's selfless performance there with black lines, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they had a confused expression of 'you are kidding me'.
Qin Han, who was 'arrogant', could no longer maintain his tense face, and he didn't care about making a face at Yang Pingwei, and laughed out loud, but soon he covered his mouth tightly.
Because Shan Cheng was glaring at him with a murderous look that wanted to eat people! Qin Han would rather debate with Yang Pingwei than provoke this second goods, otherwise you will wait to fight him for 300 rounds!
Want to be reasonable? Hehe, young people with 'faith' refuse to speak!
......
Getting back to the point, because of Shan Cheng's hard performance, the atmosphere of the scene returned to relaxed, and everyone began to laugh with each other again, imagining the style of the local city, talking about the market, talking about the inn, talking about the casino... Finally, when it comes to the Qingguan, and then naturally the building is crooked, and from time to time there is an indescribable laughter that everyone understands, you can see how excited they are to chat.
......
Four days later, Yang Pingwei and his entourage of fifteen people successfully arrived at the easternmost chaotic city among the only three cities in the Atonement Wilderness.
Chaos City, as the name suggests, is a city full of all kinds of chaos, with chaotic layout, chaotic public security, chaotic currency, even the human race is chaotic, and the natural language is equally chaotic!
This is a source of chaos, and chaos is everywhere.
But no matter how chaotic the place is, it can't prevent order from taking root in it, and Yang Pingwei's purpose is to open his eyes wide and find the order attached to it in the cracks of chaos.
Chaos City is not so much a city as a large number of building gathering areas, and there are no city walls - because there is no need, the inhabitants inside are all fierce and vicious brave people, and the last thing they are afraid of is fighting, and attacking Chaos City obviously outweighs the losses. Therefore, the chaotic city with little oil and water, and hard bones has never been the target of choice for all kinds of 'heroes and heroes'; moreover, no matter who it is, it always needs a resting place and a place to sell stolen goods, but it will be a public outrage; in the end, no 'fool' will pay for the city wall out of his own pocket to cover up, and the appearance of the chaotic city will be completely exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
Buildings stand in a haphazard manner on the vacant land you can find, there is no prior planning at all, and there is no application for land, as long as the road is not completely blocked - this is the tacit rule of everyone - your house can be repaired wherever you like, and you can be repaired as much as you like! No one cares, and no one cares about you. If you look at it this way, it can be regarded as a paradise on earth for the men of the 21st century who suffer from housing.
The houses are built so casually, then the toilets definitely don't need to be thought about, except for a few service places, Chaos City does not have this function at all.
Therefore, it is not a very shocking thing to step on a sticky, yellow and yellow piece of some kind of rice field with a "Biaji"...
Qin Han stepped on it, his body was stunned, his face stiffened instantly, and then he continued to 'talk and laugh' with Yang Pingwei as if nothing happened, and took another step, leaving only a lump of poop that was destroyed in place.
And in this regard, everyone else is familiar with it, and it is obvious that they have been sharpened and are not surprised, hey, everyone has experienced this kind of treatment, who is still laughing at whom?
It's as if they can turn a blind eye to the constant verbal conflicts that have been happening on the streets, and even the murders on the street that don't agree with each other, and they don't look weird, and anyone who has been forced to fight with people for seventeen fights in four days can't maintain their curiosity, eh, except for Shan Cheng, the pervert who gets more excited the more he fights.
A series of setbacks have long worn out some of the beautiful yearning of everyone, and they all wish that the task could be completed today, and then they would go home tomorrow. As for the beauties in the chaotic city, I can only say I'm sorry, it's not that my brother doesn't want to 'save' you, I'm really powerless... Ah, no, it's powerful and unintentional, but what, what?
"Let's find a place to live first, settle down, and then inquire about the specific situation!" Yang Pingwei glanced at the surrounding environment with disgust, and said to the people around him in an unhappy mood, "I think, if you can open an inn in this kind of place, what's the matter, the forces behind it are not small, and it should be quieter inside." β
When everyone heard this, they all nodded and said yes, they had enough of the original streets.
Turning left and right, everyone came to a slightly high-grade multi-storey building, Yang Pingwei looked carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said behind him: "I think it's just this!"
Everyone was already impatient, how could they disagree, and hurriedly urged them to hurry in.
As soon as a running guy saw them, his clever eyes rolled around, and he immediately guessed that this was a group of rookies, and his heart said that Kaizi came to the door......!
Eh, what kind of bird language is this? The group hurriedly looked at Yang Pingwei in unison, expecting the 'erudite' Director Yang to solve their doubts.
Yang Pingwei was also stunned at this time, and he couldn't understand what the other party said.
Seeing that the atmosphere became awkward, Runtang would also realize that the other party couldn't understand what he said, and he was not surprised, he encountered a lot of language barriers, so he hurriedly changed his language - in this kind of service industry in a place with mixed personnel, which one is not proficient in two or three or seven or eight foreign languages?
Well, I still don't understand!
Let's change ...... again
After changing four languages in a row, the two sides finally met, and each of them almost collapsed, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Yang Pingwei learned it from the natives in a half-baked way, it is said to be the lingua franca of a dozen national alliances, and I don't know that when he learned it, this language has changed hands several times, anyway, what he said, running the hall sounded very difficult, and on the other hand, running the hall, Yang Pingwei listened very hard.
Fortunately, by talking and analyzing, the other party even guessed, and finally solved the housing problem of the group, a group of fifteen people, asked for two shops, the rent is not expensive, each shop is 200 copper a day (when they know that in fact, the same conditions in the mainland, only 50 copper per day, they will be ashamed of today's idea. οΌ
Copper is a kind of copper coin, similar to the ancient copper coin of the earth, round, the size of a dollar coin, the magic is that it actually has a hole in the middle, but it is also round. Copper is the most frequently used currency in the Chaos City N multi-currency, so the price of their prices here, unified with copper, when paying, and then according to the currency used by the user and copper conversion, of course, the conversion process is inevitably greasy, it is common for people to be taken away partly, it depends on whether your fist is hard enough and understand whether you understand it.
After discussion, the group chose the lowest level of Tongpu, because in the current situation, between enjoyment and safety, you can only choose safety, and everyone sleeping together is nothing more than the safest.
However, their choice did not trigger a bloody slap in the face, but instead looked at them with more appreciation.
He could see at a glance that Yang Pingwei and others were not poor, but the rich chose to live in Tongpu, which was enough to show that the other party was not vain and knew how to be cautious, and such people often lived a long time.
So, with his signature smile as usual, he bowed down and said, "Guest officers, please come with me!"
......
"These two rooms are your rooms, please feel free to ask if you have any questions or needs. "But this restaurant is not responsible for catering except for the distinguished guests in the upper room, if you want to eat, please go to the front hall, or go out to solve it yourself." Of course, if you can trust the little one, you can tell the little one to run errands, that...", he rubbed his fingers 'embarrassedly', "You can get the most sincere service with just a small running fee." β
"Oh?... I'm going to trouble the little brother today!" Yang Pingwei said with a noncommittal smile, "Na, this reward for you!"
Yang Pingwei said this, took out a dime from his arms, and threw it directly regardless of whether the other party recognized it or not, whether he liked it or not.
Running Tang's eyes lit up, although he didn't recognize what kind of money it was, but it didn't prevent him from reaching out to take it, and after taking it, he touched it with his hand, and after checking it, the smile on his face became more sincere, and even his waist bent down a few points.
"Well, please arrange to bring some hot water up, I'm tired from the journey and need to wash it. Seeing that his reaction was more and more respectful, Yang Pingwei also had a bottom in his heart, but he gave another order unhurriedly.
"Okay, everybody, wait a minute...", and then quickly turned around and ran downstairs.
When the figure of the running hall turned a corner, everyone retracted their gaze and walked into the guest room one after another, looking for a place to sit and rest.
"How is it?" Yang Pingwei asked Zhu Yi, who was the commander of the Coordination Division on the side.
"I don't see anything wrong at the moment. But..."Zhu Yi frowned, and his words were not good, obviously encountering uncertain things.
"But what?" Qin Han urged.
"However, I feel that Xiao Er is not an ordinary person. Zhu Yi glanced at Qin Han before he said what he thought.
"I don't think so?" Qin Han blinked and said, "Just like all the shopkeepers, they are clever, diligent, humble, and good at observing words and feelings... It's just that this little second will speak a little more, and that's what makes him unusual?"
"I feel the same way as Zhu Zhen. At this time, Yang Pingwei said, "Although he pretends to be very similar, I think he is by no means a subordinate, and the pride in his bones cannot be hidden even if he wants to." β
"Yes, that's how it feels!" Zhu Yi immediately echoed, "When he looks at us, he doesn't speculate like an ordinary shopkeeper, but evaluates, more precisely, a condescending scrutiny." When we chose to shop, he inadvertently showed a hint of appreciation, although it was fleeting, but I still discovered it, a person who has been in a position of position for a long time will show appreciation?"
"This kind of look will only appear when the high-ranking person is used for the inferior, and the wise person is used for the foolish, whether he is a superior person or a wise person, it means that he is not an ordinary person!" Yang Pingwei said solemnly, he couldn't imagine that he chose an inn at random, and a shopkeeper was unfathomable, and there was no place to reason.
I don't know if the overall level of this inn is high, or is it just someone who is carrying out 'game world' and 'red dust experience'?
"He's very strong!" At this time, except for the occasional 'illness', Shan Cheng, who usually does not have a strong sense of existence, came out coldly, his eyes were hot, his expression was serious, and after saying this, he didn't care about everyone's reaction, he just closed his eyes and said nothing.
Yang Pingwei smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say it, everyone pay more attention." As long as we act cautiously and do not be impulsive, even if this store has nothing to do with it, it has nothing to do with us. β
"Director Yang is right, the purpose of our trip is only to collect seeds, and nothing else is something we need to care about. On the premise of completing the task, don't do too much, so as not to cause trouble. Zhu Yi continued.
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, it is indeed this reason, no matter how small Erpu is in his shop, as long as it does not hinder himself, he is a floating cloud.
......
It has been twenty days since Li Kang left, and under the leadership of Yu Wenkai, a master of infrastructure, and in addition, Li Kang still placed more than half of the homeless people in Xin'an Town - Xin'an Town is the default landing place for the summoned, no matter where Li Kang is, he can directly summon personnel and materials for Xin'an Town, and other locations must be visited by Li Kang himself, otherwise they cannot be used as the arrival point of the summoned - the development of Xin'an Town cannot be underestimated.
First of all, after Li Kang's personnel transportation in recent days, 104 people have been added to Xin'an Town, not counting the people who go out, the total population of Xin'an Town has reached 370 people (the total population has reached more than 600 people, and the system has unlocked the qualification to exchange for 'keel waterwheel' and its production process; Li Kang's title has been successfully promoted to the middle doctor, and the system has unlocked the qualification to redeem the 'doctor car' and its production process. οΌγ
An increase in population naturally means an acceleration of construction. In addition to the original 4,000 acres on the basis of the original 1,000 acres of winter wheat, the cement avenue that caused Li Kang's mind to be inaccessible finally began construction.
It was Li Kang's early planning of the so-called 'first road', Yu Wenkai on the basis of the original 200 meters, and expanded 300 meters - because the east gate of the town extended 300 meters to the east - but the last 300 meters did not have the luxury of building six lanes, Yu Wenkai directly cut the waist and lowered it to three lanes, if it were not for the fact that the first 200 meters were set by Li Kang himself, Yu Wenkai would not have liked to cut them together.
This project, which began after Li Kang left, has been started for 20 days, and the 200-meter-wide road in front is almost half completed, and according to this calculation, the entire project is expected to take 50 days. Of course, the more road builders will work in the future, the actual time will definitely be shorter than this.
