003 Treat wealth as life, if there is a mother, there will be a daughter!
The armored car slowly drove away from the gathering place of the drag racing party, and the drag racing party was reluctant to scream and wave, and all kinds of faces were all the same fanaticism, as if to say, 'Idol, please let me lick your tires and suck your exhaust'. Red and white used his little tail around the steering wheel to control the armored car, poked his little head out of the window and waved his hand, smiling like a little trumpet.
Gu Tie counted the bets won by the red and white drag racing in the passenger seat. The first bet is 5 stacks of 100 bills with a denomination of 100 gold coins each, for a total of 50,000 gold coins. The second bet is an enchanted handful of silver, the effect of which is unknown. The third bet is a small diamond, the color of the goods is very ordinary, regardless of size or color, the price should not exceed 10 star diamonds. The fourth bet is a VIP card of a certain club, and you can watch the head card of the club dance striptease in the box. Gu Tie looked at it for a long time, and after confirming that the three bets were all cheap, he didn't know the purchasing power of 50,000 gold coins.
"What are these gold coins?" asked Gu Tie, pulling out a stack of banknotes.
Hongbai retracted back into the car and continued to drive with a smile: "Well, this is the currency of the vending machine network in various neutral and open cities, the circulating currency of killing ruins, 1 star diamond is exchanged for 10,000 gold coins." Well, for players, gold coins are completely useless, for natives, the purchasing power of gold coins is very strong, and 1 gold coin can be eaten beautifully. ”
"Oh, 10,000 gold coins for a star diamond. Gu Tie thought for a while and said with a smile: "The purchasing power is still a thousand times that of RMB." ”
"Well, that primitive and backward place on earth. Prices are certainly cheap. Hongbai said with a smile.
Gu Tie was depressed, and said with a wry smile: "No matter what, I will have a good meal in Broken Flow City later......" Before he could finish speaking, red and white lightning rushed into his arms. Picking up all the loot and jumping aside, he stared at his little eyes and shouted: "This is Hongbai's personal asset, Brother Gu Tie is not allowed to use Hongbai's money." It would be a shame for the warlock master to rely on the demon pet to eat. ”
"Ah, you finally know that you are a demon pet, hey, don't want your money, drive faster. Gu Tie hurriedly pointed to the front and said.
"Hmm. Don't take the money of the demon pet, Brother Gu Tie can't be a soft rice warlock. Hongbai said with a small glare.
"Okay, okay, you drive faster, I'll give you the money. One hundred thousand, ok?" said Gu Tie.
"100,000 Star Diamonds?" the little red and white eyes lit up.
"100,000 gold coins, do you want it?" asked Gu Tie angrily.
It's better to have money than no money, and Red and White finally put the loot under the driver's seat, grabbed the steering wheel and drove seriously. Gu Tie breathed a sigh of relief. Take out your personal terminal to view the map. The personal cursor has indeed been attached to Broken Flow City, and he is about to enter Broken Flow City. He set off around eight o'clock this morning, and it is now past twelve o'clock in the morning, only sixteen hours. The nominal half of the journey has already been completed. He didn't know what the next half of the race would be, but he was happy with his speed. If Red and White arrive at the city of Broken Streams. Instead of participating in any drag racing competition, he stopped fooling around with Starstone. That's even more perfect.
But if you think about it carefully, when he was fooling around with the Star Stone, Red and White suddenly rushed in, it was very embarrassing!
Just as Gu Tie was thinking wildly, a ball of green light the size of a basketball suddenly flashed in front of him, and there was a girl with a good body in it. Gu Tie was so frightened that he pulled out his Gathering Sword, but the ball of light said: "Hello, player Gu Tie, welcome to the territory of Broken Flow City, I am the guide elf, and I will guide you on how to travel and work in a neutral and open city." ”
Gu Tie was stunned and said to Hongbai, "What is this?"
Red and White grinned and said, "Terra, don't pretend." ”
"What, she's Terra?" asked Gu Tie in surprise.
The voice of the guide elf then changed subtly, becoming lively and vivid, with a hint of cunning: "Alas, red and white are too boring, and they plan to tease you." Let's put it this way, the bootstrap elf is one of my terminals, just like the vending machine. To use the analogy of things on the earth, computers and smartphones are the terminals of the network. The role of the guide elf is not to sell, but to guide, warn, and supervise. For example, if Broken Flow City and you want to trade equally, how can you trade on an equal footing? It's very simple, let the guide elves supervise your transactions and make sure that the prices of your goods are equal. If you're a bad guy with bad intentions trying to plunder Broken Stream, how can you be stopped? If you don't know about Broken Stream City, how can you move around Broken Stream City? ”
"So troublesome?" Gu Tie said in surprise: "You have to be monitored when you go to the toilet?"
"Hee-hee, the guide elves will be very polite and respectful**. Terra grinned and said, "For example, when you first entered the territory of Broken Stream, you were rolling around with your demons, guiding the elves to keep a certain distance in order not to disturb your interests. All in all, as long as you don't trade, the Guide Elves don't have to follow you up close. ”
Gu Tie's face burned when he heard this, and he sighed, "Alas, Terra, is there a way for Broken Flow City to cross the Western Heavenly Pillar Mountain Range?"
"The bootstrap cannot tell the player directly, otherwise it will be considered interference with the player. Tyra said.
Hongbai was more experienced than Gu Tie, and asked with a smile: "Where is the best place to inquire about the news?"
"At this time, bars and brothels are good options. Tyra said.
Gu Tie was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Hongbai said happily: "Mmmm, I know." ”
It didn't take long for the car to drive onto a smooth asphalt road, and Gu Tie didn't know if it was an asphalt paved road, but the gray-black road looked very similar. After a while, the car came to a stop on a toll booth-like road. A four-eyed native in uniform and with a gun walked up to the window, and when he saw the guide elf, he became respectful, and said in an incredibly smooth lingua franca, "Hello, distinguished player, welcome to Broken Stream." The Guide Elf will lead you around Broken Stream City, and I wish you a great time in Broken Stream City. ”
Gu Tie nodded, took out two 100 gold coins from under his buttocks and handed them to the native, which immediately made the native, as happy as a sunflower. The red-white started the armored car and continued to drive. The small eyes stared at Gu Tie roundly, as if he was going to eat Gu Tie raw. Gu Tie shook his head with a smile and touched his little red and white head: "If I use a few banknotes, I will pay you as many star diamonds as I want." Okay, right?"
Hongbai immediately handed all the five stacks of gold coins to Gu Tie, and shouted enthusiastically: "Red and white are Gu Tie's brother's, use them casually." ”
Gu Tie shook his head with a smile and said to Terra, "I gave a tip just now, is it considered a non-equal transaction?"
"It's certainly not equality, the janitor doesn't have any labor, but he gets 200 gold coins. But we define equality not as absolute, but relatively. Because absolute equality does not exist, it is impossible to achieve perfect equality with any precise calculation of value. "There are two criteria for judging trading errors: first, if the transaction amount exceeds 1,000 star diamonds, an error of one thousandth is allowed; The trading amount is less than 1000 star diamonds, and the error within 1 star diamond is allowed. The duration of the transaction amount is 24 hours and is calculated as the total amount. That is, the player Gutie, you are in the next 24 hours. You can also tip no more than 9,800 gold coins, so you don't have to worry about violating the law of unfair trade. ”
"What will happen if I offend?" asked Gu Tie curiously.
"Fines. Tyra and Red and White grinned together.
And so it was. Gu Tie also said with a smile.
............................................................................................................
The city was built on a large dam that crosses the river, so it is called the 'Broken River City'. A main road passes through the entire town. Many streets extend to both sides, dividing the city into many blocks. Under Terra's guidance. Red and white parked the car on a street. Gu Tie jumped out of the car first, twisted his neck and then twisted his waist. Stiff joints burst into a series of rattling sounds.
"Terra, I have a question. Gu Tie said with a smile.
"Look at your stance, you're worried about running into other players here. Tyra said with a grin.
"Yes. Gu Tie looked at this strange city vigilantly, slightly uncomfortable.
"Neutral cities are wars that do not support the player. So as soon as another player approaches, or is noticed by another player, the guide elf will send a hint, so you don't have to worry about being attacked or assassinated. If you force a war with other players, the bootstrap elves will not object, and will only remind you to be prepared for compensation and fines. Tyra said with a grin.
The red and white farts got out of the car and ran over, and handed a small leather bag to Gu Tie: "Brother Gu Tie, you forgot to bring money." ”
Gu Tie opened the small leather bag and looked at the five stacks of cash inside, and sighed: "Okay, I obey you." ”
Under the guidance of the guide elves, Gu Tie began to visit Broken Flow City, and found that it was not what he expected. The city built on the dam is not large, and there are no beautiful garden villas or artistic statues as far as the eye can see. All of the buildings are made of reinforced concrete, wrapped in protective armor, and the windows are all small, looking like the firing ports of the bunkers. Towering lighthouses stand on either side of the dam, and beams from searchlights constantly scan the waters upstream and downstream. From time to time, there is a group of soldiers patrolling with tamed animals on the streets, all of them are fully armed and not very advanced, but they are all more high-end than the earth's goods.
Earlier, he thought that a neutral and open city would be beautiful Switzerland, but now it feels like a fascist concentration camp.
Terra seemed to know what Gu Tie was thinking, and took the initiative to explain: "It is very difficult to survive in the killing ruins, natural disasters, monsters, demons, bandits, and players can all bring death at any time. The average natural life expectancy of the natives is more than 120 years, but the vast majority of the natives do not live to be 60 years old, dying of disease, war, and post-war trauma, and every life struggles to live. ”
Gu Tie thought of Afghanistan and Iraq on the earth, and couldn't help but sigh. There is a neon sign on the side of the road in front of a so-and-so bar. Terra took the initiative to introduce: "This is a more famous mercenary bar in Broken Flow City, as long as you scatter tens of millions of gold coins, you can buy any news and any die-hard cannon fodder." For you, it's just a few thousand star diamonds for pocket money. ”
Gu Tie was inexplicably in a heavy mood, and walked into the bar silently. It was a dim, unpretentious place, with the aroma of rice wine in the air, old wooden floors creaking and a dozen large tables scattered in the vast lobby. Dozens of leather-clad and armed drinkers stood in the corner or sat at a table, drinking and exchanging ears. At the innermost end of the lobby is a long bar where a bartender wipes glasses. A few waiters stood against the bar. Gu Tie's arrival attracted their attention, their eyes were bright and bright, and no one took the initiative to greet them, but the intentions were obvious
Terra introduced: "These people are mercenaries. Give them money, and they will give you their lives. If you need anything, you can tell them directly. They are not as capable as the players, but they know the local geography very well and can give you a lot of convenience. Don't worry about their loyalty, they are all professional, as long as they receive a commission, they will do everything to complete the task. ”
Gu Tie nodded: "I'm going to pass through the Western Tianzhu Mountain Range." Arrive on the West Coast. ”
The mercenaries looked at each other, and finally stared at the bartender in the bar together, with expressions of envy and jealousy, as well as schadenfreude. But the bartender lowered his head and wiped his glass. Doesn't seem to be interested in ancient iron. Gu Tie walked over to the bar, sat down on a high stool, and looked at the bartender with interest. This guy is also a four-eyed native, but both eyes on the right side have been blinded, and a long white scar extends from his right forehead to the right corner of his mouth. Cut two right eyes. Gu Tie didn't know how to judge the age of this kind of native man, he could only feel that he was very vicissitudes, and experienced the vicissitudes of death.
Gu Tie noticed the bartender's indifference, so he took out a stack of money and threw it on the bar: "The best barbecue." Mix the most expensive wines. ”
The bartender picked up the money and weighed it, then nodded to the waiter outside. Immediately two waiters walked backstage. Two large plates of steaming unknown grilled fish, each more than a meter long, were delivered. There are many nuts all around, coated with a thick sauce. Red and white immediately jumped to Gu Tie's thigh, staring at the grilled fish, and his little tail shook like a windmill.
Terra shot out a beam of white light and swept over the two plates of grilled fish, and then said, "Broken Flow City's specialty crispy nut roasted blue cinnamon fish, two servings with a total price of 2,000 gold coins." The bartender took out ten more bottles of wine and some bartending tools, and used a dazzling handicraft to mix up one glass after another. Some wines are worth hundreds of gold coins, some wine is worth thousands of gold coins, and more than ten glasses of wine have made up a total of 8,000 gold coins.
"The total price of the goods in the store is about 10,000 gold coins, and the player pays 10,000 gold coins, and the transaction is equal. Tyra said.
The bartender then put the money in the counter and cleaned up the barware on the table. Gu Tie used his psionic hand to grab more than ten glasses of wine and two large pieces of grilled fish at once, and sent them to an empty table more than ten meters away, then grabbed Hongbai and threw it on a chair next to the table. Hongbai stood on the chair excitedly, tore off a piece of grilled fish with one hand, picked up a glass of wine with the other, and began to eat and drink violently.
Gu Tie took out another stack of money and threw it on the bar, and said with a smile: "The prepaid wine money, give her wine and meat at any time." ”
The bartender's left eyes widened in surprise, but he still said aloud, "Got it, guest." ”
"I'm Gu Tie, what do you call you?" Gu Tie asked.
The bartender was silent for a moment before he said, "Everyone calls me White Scar now." ”
"Alright, White Scar, I'm going to cross the Western Pillar Mountains, the sooner the better. Gu Tie said.
White Scar glanced down at the second stack of money, and then reluctantly said, "I can contact a few expert mercenaries for you." ”
"I'm going to pass through the Western Tianzhu Mountains in twenty-four hours, can I do that?" Gu Tie asked.
There was a burst of exclamations in the lobby, and White Scar stared at his left eye for a moment before saying, "Theoretically, it works." ”
"Tell me about it?" asked Gu Tie.
"First, you must be very fast, and you must advance thirty miles per hour in the rugged, dark, oxygen-deprived, poisonous caverns, for the total distance is seven hundred miles. Second, your firepower must be ferocious enough, because if you have to get closer, you won't be able to avoid the territory of the monsters. Thirdly, you may encounter the Spider Banshee, and you will need to prepare a lot of flamethrowers. Fourth, you have to be smart enough ....... White Scar was silent for a moment before he said, "No mercenary can keep up with this speed, so you can't hire a guide." We have enough information, videos, and maps to explore on your own. ”
Gu Tie nodded, smiled and said, "Can you find a place to talk carefully?"
"If you don't mind, I'm going to reach out to a couple of seasoned veterans. White Scar said.
"Of course, the more information, the better. Gu Tie said with a smile.
............................................................................................................
Two hours later, Gu Tie walked out of the bar with a puffed leather bag full of materials and a drunken red and white in his arms. The city outside the bar lit up his eyes when he entered the bar. The whole city is dark, and there are few shops on the streets. It's already three o'clock in the morning, and the streets are brightly lit and many shops are open. "These stores were originally open during the day. However, I learned that a player with a generous shot came to Broken Flow City, so I opened it enthusiastically overnight. They usually sell some local specialties that are not available in the vending machines, so you can go and check them out. ”
"Aren't there any vending machines here?" asked Gu Tie in surprise.
"Yes, there are four vending machines in total. Tyra said with a grin.
"Isn't that robbing your business?" asked Gu Tie.
"yes, I hate them to death. Terra was still grinning, and there was not a hint of annoyance in her tone.
Qing Liuli said in Gu Tie's heart: "The inhabitants of the mountains are good at hunting, the inhabitants of the sea are good at fishing, and the local residents are always more familiar with the local geography. We already know the entrance to the dark realm of the Western Tianzhu Mountains. Since Broken Flow City is close to the Dark Regions, the shops here may sell some useful weapons or equipment, so we can check them out. ”
"Oh, it looks like you're having some plans. Gu Tie said.
"Hee-hee. If the purchase goes well, the owner can pass through the dark area within twelve hours. Qing Liuli said.
Gu Tie was overly surprised but couldn't believe it, and asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"
"What are the three difficulties that those mercenaries said?" asked Qing Liuli.
"The total distance is more than 700 miles, and the roads are very rough, with underground cliffs, rifts, steep slopes, and small caves everywhere. If you want to pass in one day. On average, thirty miles per hour. On flat ground, I kept running at this speed, but it was difficult in the tunnels. I can climb cliffs quickly with arachnism, but it definitely takes more energy. Other than that. We didn't have a guide and had to stop every now and then to find our way. It's also a waste of time. Gu Tie glanced at the leather bag he was holding in his right hand, which was full of materials. Half of them are monster profiles. Half of it is to identify the road, which shows the complexity of the tunnel.
"Well, at the source of the storm, the master was injured a few times and couldn't run away, how did we bring the master back?" Qing Liuli said.
"You caught me and flew back, faster than I did. Gu Tie had a flash of inspiration: "You are going to do this this time?"
"Well, let's be more professional, master, go buy a durable second-hand jet ski first. Qing Liuli said.
"Second-hand jet skis, second-hand jet skis, even if they are second-hand, how can they be returned to jet skis?" asked Gu Tie puzzled.
"Hmm, do you need us to spend half an hour explaining to the master?" said Qing Liuli.
Gu Tie immediately asked Terra, "Where do you sell durable second-hand jet skis?"
Terra led the ancient iron to the central docks of Broken Stream, where a shop had just opened, and a group of sleepy-eyed natives stood at the door, with a sign that read, 'Hagru Workshop for Cars'. "Except for a very few industrial cities, most of the neutral cities don't have new cars, and all the vehicles are assembled by technicians, and a bunch of usable second-hand parts are assembled into a finished car, which can be sold in stores," Terra said. It's the same with Broken Flow City, although it doesn't look good, but the performance is absolutely fine. This Hagru workshop is a long-standing workshop in Broken Stream, selling cars, repairing cars, selling parts, assembling cars, modifying cars, and doing everything. It has been in business for more than 200 years, and it has never been dismantled by car buyers, but many regular customers have come to order it. ”
"Well, well, that's what I need. Gu Tie said with a smile.
The natives at the door of the workshop were about the same as the mechanics of the Haas caravan, short and thin, with big eyes and noses, and very slender hands. A long-bearded native with strange glasses took the initiative to lead him, bowed, and said, "Honorable player, welcome to the Hagru Workshop. We provide you with the best quality car modification and repair services in Broken Flow City, and we can also tailor a car for you. ”
"I want a used jet ski, very durable, many years old. Gu Tie said.
"Huh?" the workshop owner was surprised: "My lord, a used car that has been used for many years?"
"Yes, the gold will only be given to you more. Gu Tie said.
The boss had no choice but to take Kotetsu to the warehouse behind the workshop, where a large number of vehicle parts were piled up, including engines, wheels, bearings, and many old cars waiting to be disassembled. Gu Tie felt very kind at first glance, because he was also in this kind of place, and was kidnapped by the beautiful selector's sister. Suddenly, Qing Liuli shouted excitedly: "Listen, that and that." ”
Qing Liuli's strong obsession locked onto a motorboat shaped like a shark, and Gu Tie gasped at first sight. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
