Chapter 0006 - Making Money to Settle (Part I)
"But we don't have any money?" Wu Meng looked at him with wide eyes in the trash can: "Didn't we just go out because we didn't have money?" ”
Xu Sheng almost choked on this sentence.
When he was in Shengxian State, he didn't have the concept of money. After all, he is the most talented person, and since he was favored by Yongqingmen, he has started a life of worry-free food and clothing.
But now, the money that the giant snake that he killed at the expense of his soul power was only enough for them to live in Anhuo City for a week.
The house left behind by the man has been sold, and it has been replaced with tools to repair wells in the field.
What a loser.
This world has no real anger, no money, no background and no sect, do you want me to be a robber?
Being a robber doesn't have so much baggage, but the problem is that he doesn't have to be the strongest in this world, and after so many years, he doesn't know what he can't defeat.
For example, the gun in Zhang Wu's hand, in the era when the true qi is exhausted, there must be more powerful weapons.
There's still a lot to be clarified, and the new world seems to have new rules.
"Find a place to live first, and Dad will figure out how to do the rest." Xu Sheng carried the tired Wu Meng on his back.
Her memories of the city are not friendly, and the proximity to the lively bazaar hides her little head.
Xu Sheng strolled through the night market, the neon lights flickered on and off, and the people around him whispered with the smell of blood, and tiredness enveloped him.
The thin true qi of this world, as well as the thin man he possessed, could not exert one-thousandth of his strength in his lifetime.
What he heard in the tavern, selfishness, chaos, disaster, and famine, was everywhere in this seemingly civilized world.
Here, his every move could lead to murder.
But...... So what?
His talent and experience are still there, and even if there is no true qi in this world, he is confident that he can break through the world.
After thinking about it, he was only a young man in his twenties when he was alive, and he slept for 10,000 years, how could he be restrained?
Joke.
"What are you smirking at? Do you book a room or not? "In the dilapidated hotel, the front desk of the five big and three thick has a cigarette in its mouth and a drooping face.
"Oh." Xu Sheng smiled very gently and handed out Wu Kun's ID card.
The front desk put the ID card on a machine and scanned it, and with a drip, he returned the ID card and room card.
Xu Sheng had never seen this thing, and stared at it for a long time like a hillbilly.
I could feel the flow of true qi, and at that moment, it seemed as if the true qi had been transferred from the machine to a distant place.
"Where's that direction?" Xu Sheng asked in a daze.
"Huh?" The front desk was impatient: "North? City hall, right? ”
"Oh."
Interesting.
Exactly that was his goal.
Although the true qi is thin, in these places, it is like a small stream flowing tenaciously, as if there is an invisible hand controlling them.
When you have time, you can study it, and maybe you can find the weakness of the city lord.
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng checked Wu Meng on his back and stayed in this hotel.
He had enough silver to last a week, and during this week, he had to find a way to make money.
Wu Kun used to be a worker at the Anhuocheng Water Station, but when something went wrong with the water station, he also became a jobless vagrant. Wu Meng couldn't cultivate and couldn't go to school well, so the two of them came out.
"What the hell is this place, there is not even water." Xu Sheng looked at the faucet that cherished water like gold and sighed.
It wasn't a day or two since the water went off in the city, but on a normal day when there were many complaints, a group of people came into the hotel.
They knocked out the front desk and found Xu Sheng's records.
The first person, whom he had just met a few hours earlier, was besieging Xu Sheng's gangsters at the garbage dump.
His name is Zhuang Changqing, a gangster from Anhuo City. In terms of the number of fox friends and dog friends, no one in Anhuo City can beat it.
"Brothers, this person has good things in his hands today, not good things, I won't call my brothers over at all." Squatting in the corridor, Zhuang Changqing said in a low voice.
"Come on, there's something good that you're thinking about us? Can't you eat it yourself? ”
"You can't say that, I'm called Tanfeng." Zhuang Changqing wore a mask to cover his mouth full of black blue that was pinched out by Xu Sheng last night.
"Well, what can let us make a move is at least a treasure above the second level." A few thugs held steel pipes and listened carefully to the movement of the door: "Is this the room?" ”
Zhuang Changqing put his ear to the door, and a conversation between Xu Sheng and Wu Meng came from inside.
"Dad, I can't sleep, this pillow stinks."
"Survive the day first, so that Dad can sing you a lullaby."
“emmm……”
Zhuang Changqing perked up when he heard this, and raised his arms and shouted: "It's him, brothers!" ”
Several people jumped up with a loud bang, and the steel pipes and sabers in their hands beckoned to the dilapidated wooden door in front of them.
Break into this room and rob him of his treasures, and even if two people die, no one will cure them.
This is Ann Fire City.
"Maca clicked Kamaka Wow ......" Xu Sheng had just spoken, and Zhuang Changqing and the others outside the door suddenly felt that they were enveloped by a force, and the lyrics broke into their minds and choked their brain nerves.
After a while, a few thugs fell asleep outside the door, and they were dragged out and beaten by the angry innkeeper early in the morning.
……
As soon as the sun shone, Xu Sheng woke up.
After sleeping for 10,000 years, he returned to bed again, and he slept restlessly. In my dreams, there are always the figures of Li Zhangmen and He Zhangmen, as well as his cousin Wu Chengdao.
Putting on his clothes and setting up the enchantment for the room, Xu Sheng jumped out of the window wearing a mask and quickly disappeared into the street.
To the north, you can vaguely see a towering gray-white dome, and the white marble columns hang down like a curtain.
The government building is also in Wu Kun's memory, but with his status, he is not qualified to be close.
The only place that belongs to him is a water station in the southernmost part of the city.
In the man's memory, Anhuo City used to rely on four water stations in the east, west, north and south to maintain water supply, but I don't know why, several water stations were abandoned one after another, and finally the water station in the south could not collect water, and the whole city was in danger of water depletion.
In an already difficult wasteland town, violence and chaos escalate further.
This is also the scene that Xu Sheng saw in the tavern when he first came to Anhuo City.
Looking around, Xu Sheng found a gas station, bought a pack of cigarettes at a convenience store, pretended to be resting and handed it to the gas worker, both of whom took the cigarette in their mouths and did not light it.
"If this water doesn't come again, it will be moved." Xu Sheng's tone and eyes made people feel that he was a local when he heard it.
It's really like acting.
"Let's move, let's move down, everyone will live in the desert." The oiler smoked an unlit cigarette and squinted at the sun.
"You said this water station is good, why is it gone?"
"Haven't you heard? Privately, it spread. ”
"Say what?"
"The water source has been cut off." The oiler waved his hand and pointed out of the city: "There is a strange beast that occupies a territory, and I heard that the government plans to send troops to surround it." Oh, I think they want to run. ”
