Chapter 709: The Dark Web of the Capital
Can you believe that there is a red light district in the fairy tale world?
In fact, there is, right in the royal city of Hansel, and it's quite large.
As soon as he arrived, Wang Ye was surrounded by all kinds of fancy girls, who were more like hunting for curiosity than soliciting.
In the end, it was the woman who pushed them away and pulled him into a hut.
"Bang!"
The door closes, leaving only the warm red light of the room and the enticing aroma.
It was a room where the women on the street picked up guests, the room was not large, there was a big boudoir bed in the center, and there were few other facilities, few to the point of simplicity.
It's hard to imagine that this is a powerful three-star pavilion owner living and ...... Place of work.
"I really don't understand, why do you three-star pavilion masters still live so shabby, obviously those two-star pavilion masters live like earth emperors one by one, but you are so miserable that you live in such a narrow place, and there are even people like that beggar. Obviously, millions of dollars can be made in a game of betting, so why bother?" Wang Ye asked, looking around the small room.
The girl glanced at Wang Ye and smiled lightly: "It seems that you really don't know much about this royal city." But it's no wonder, after all, it's an outsider, even if it's these natives who flock here, what do they know?"
Wang Ye squinted his eyes suspiciously: "Is there a secret?"
The girl sighed slightly and said, "Most people only see the prosperity of the royal city, but they don't know that the dark regulations and huge life pressures that accompany it are far beyond what an ordinary person can bear. It is said that our Samsung Pavilion has taken the initiative to earn tens of millions of dollars, but in fact, do you know how much it costs to buy a square meter of house in this Hansel royal capital?"
"How much?" Wang Ye curious.
"The average price now is 3.2 billion gold tickets per square meter. The girl replied blandly.
3.2 billion!?
Wang Ye's whole person is almost cracked, he brought a lot of money out from King Aladdin, plus the golden tickets he copied all the way, it doesn't add up to 3.2 billion, that is to say, he can't even afford a one-square-meter house in the royal capital now!?
"This price is only the price outside the 6 walls of the royal city, the Hansel royal city is nested by 7 layers of walls from the center to the outside, the more you go to the middle, the higher the price, and now the housing within the 2 walls is already priceless. The girl smiled bitterly and said: "Not to mention the housing, when I got the logo of the residents of this royal city, it took a full 20 billion golden tickets saved over the years and with the help of a few frequent customers to get it, the value of this sign is to get a lot of gambling resources that only residents have, and more importantly, it is a symbol of status, which can glorify the ancestors and make the whole family proud of you." As for what the people who live here are experiencing, only those who know it firsthand can understand. ”
20 Billion Golden Tickets!?
Wang Ye finally understood why the beggar valued the sign more than his own eyes.
"Where is your family now?" he asked curiously.
"The small town of Mosto, I mail 10 million to them every month, and they are very happy there. The girl smiled and said, "It's worth it for me, after all, the money earned here can't be spent in other towns, and there is nothing happier than this." The royal city of Hansel, the true capital of the world, would have had it not been for strict population control laws. ”
The girl looked at the stunned Wang Ye and smiled: " More than ten years ago, I used to be a simple little girl, with the infinite imagination of the city to come here, at that time my ability was to be able to make magic matches, so I wanted to come here to sell matches for a living, but soon found that it was impossible, and finally starved to almost die on the side of the road, this red light district Mommy picked me up, I knew that there is still a job in this world that can make money lying down, not only that, but extorting some palace ministers and people with status in high society can also bring a lot of opportunities to get rich overnight, think about it, it's also good。 ”
"Selling matches!?" Wang Ye was stunned, and suddenly thought of something: "The little girl who sells matches!?"
"Giggles, that's what the homeless people in the neighborhood called me back then. The girl's bright red lips smiled.
Who would have thought that the match girl who died on Chinese New Year's Eve in the fairy tale actually became like this under the pressure of life. It's just that, isn't that a better life than death?
"What's wrong?" the girl seemed to notice that Wang Ye's expression was a little strange: "What are you thinking?"
Wang Ye suddenly came back to his senses and shook his hand again and again: "It's nothing, it's nothing......"
"Giggles. The girl's shoulders trembled with laughter, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Ye along, and suddenly pulled him to the boudoir covered with a big red quilt, and the whole person turned over and lay on Wang Ye: "Don't talk about this, we are not here to talk about life." ”
"Uh...... That ......" Wang Ye stiffened, and hurriedly prevaricated: "...... We're here to gamble, aren't we?"
"Hehe, of course. The girl approached Wang Ye, and a charming aroma hit Wang Ye's face: "So what does Mr. want to bet on? I can release the water, and I don't set the gambling content, it's up to you to decide, and we will bet on whatever you want." I know you don't need money, and if you win, I can answer the question you want to know if I win......"
The girl's onion-white fingers gently picked up Wang Ye's chin, making Wang Ye nervous.
But then she laughed: "Look at your scare, if I win, you just need to do me a favor." ”
Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's busy?"
"A few years ago, I received a letter from my parents telling me that my sister had run away from home and did not know what had happened, and then I did everything possible to ask someone, and I found out that this little girl had gone to the kingdom of Hansel, and entered the palace to work, and I heard that she was an apprentice in magic. The girl said: "I heard that you are the representative of the Aladdin Kingdom, and I think you are a valuable talent of the Aladdin King, so I want to ask you to ask the Aladdin King to bring my sister back to my parents, if she really doesn't do it, please please send someone to take care of her." ”
"Can't you leave here yourself? As the owner of the three-star pavilion of the Hansel Kingdom, it shouldn't be difficult to do these things, right?" Wang Ye said curiously.
"Our identity is more of a shackle. The girl shook her head and said: "In this kingdom, once you become the owner of the three-star pavilion of the royal city, you can only stay here for the rest of your life, and you can't leave an inch, unless you ...... Lose the logo on the chest. But if someone loses this priceless sign, then they will never be able to raise their heads and be a man again in this life. ”
"I see......"
For a while, Wang Ye felt that this woman was a little faintly pitiful.
But thinking of the world before his death, why don't those people who lock their lives in first-tier cities for distant dreams, drift all their lives, just for a trace of fame and fortune.
"What's your sister's name?" asked Wang Ye.
"Alice. The girl replied with a smile.
