Chapter 81: Opening the Jade Box
"That's the end of it, it doesn't seem like much has changed?"
Lu Chen clenched his fists and waved it around a few times, and there was a whirring sound in the air, and then he raised his leg and kicked around a few times, feeling that the strength of his body seemed to have become stronger.
At least he could feel his punches and kicks a little faster than before.
However, since there was no detection by modern machines, Lu Chen didn't know how much this Strengthening Pill had improved him.
He didn't feel any other changes in his body, but there was one feeling that was particularly strong, that is, he was wet with sweat just now, and now his clothes were wet and sticking to his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"In other words, how to wash in this environment?"
Lu Chen was a little dumbfounded thinking about the humble environment here, wouldn't he have to go to the well outside to fetch water and then go to the kitchen to boil water before taking a bath.
For the first time, Lu Chen felt the inconvenience of ancient society, unlike in Lan Xing's house, where he just twisted the faucet for a bath.
"Why don't you get yourself some servants?"
"I can also help myself cook, boil water and wash clothes."
"And I have to buy a few more sets of clothes, and now there is only one set of clothes on my body in this world, which is not enough."
Lu Chen, who walked out of the room, looked at a well in the corner of the courtyard and thought silently in his heart.
So Lu Chen walked out of his new home again, found a ready-to-wear store nearby, and bought more than a dozen sets of clothes at one time.
After leaving the garment shop, Lu Chen found a place where no one paid attention and threw the clothes directly into the system space.
"It's time to find the two servants next, where should I find this ancient servant?"
"There's no housekeeping company here, right?"
Lu Chen stood on the crowded street, a little confused for a while.
It didn't take long for Lu Chen, who was unfamiliar with life, to once again offer his own trick of asking for directions.
Grab a man who is not very well dressed, and give him a silver coin to take him to a place where there is a hired servant.
The reason why gold coins are not used is because Lu Chen has gradually understood the purchasing power of currency in this world.
In Plains City, one silver coin is basically enough for a family of five to live for half a month.
However, the place that the person brought to Lu Chen did not expect that it was the slave market in Plains City.
Lu Chen really couldn't have imagined that there was such a system as slaves in this world.
According to the man who led the way, most of these slaves were people who couldn't survive and voluntarily sold themselves into slavery, and some were prisoners and prisoners of war.
In line with the principle that he is just a passer-by who temporarily lives in this world, and has nothing to do with himself, and does not worry about himself, Lu Chen didn't bother to say anything about everyone being equal.
There will be no idea of emancipating slaves and making everyone free.
Lu Chen walked around the slave market for a while and bought two slaves for 400 silver coins, which made Lu Chen secretly sigh at the cheapness of slaves in this world.
The two slaves Lu Chen bought were both women, one was a cook in her thirties, and she looked pretty good, and her charm still existed.
There is also a beautiful little girl in her twenties, who plans to be her own maid in the future, pouring tea and water, washing and folding quilts, warming, cough cough, these things let her do.
After coming out of the slave market, Lu Chen saw that it was almost dark, so he took the two of them to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients, planning to let the cook show his hand at night.
"The two of you will live in the West Wing in the future, and you will usually be mainly responsible for my diet and daily life, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly."
As soon as he walked into the house with the two newly bought slaves, Lu Chen spoke to them.
"Yes, sir!" The two slaves bowed neatly to Lu Chen and saluted.
"Well, yes, it looks like he's still trained!" Lu Chen looked at their skillful movements and thought silently.
"Li Lan, you go and prepare dinner, Hongye, you go and help me prepare the bath water, the master wants to bathe."
Lu Chen began to instruct the two of them to do things, among which Li Lan was the name of the cook, and Hongye was the little girl defined by Lu Chen as a maid.
When the two women were busy in various ways, Lu Chen came to the room.
He plans to take out all the things in the system space, otherwise, it will consume 20 points of energy every day to open these two cubic spaces, and the system will only automatically replenish 10 points of energy every day, so it will always be impossible to make ends meet.
First of all, put out all the mirrors inside and pile them in the corner, Lu Chen plans to find a time to sell these remaining mirrors next time.
Twenty kilograms of gold were also hidden in a relatively secret place, and all the clothes and other things I bought before were taken out.
In the end, Lu Chen looked at a few things on the table in a daze.
These things are a black pistol, which Lu Chen specially brought this time, 9 yuan stones, and a small jade box.
"I almost forgot about you!"
Lu Chen looked at the small jade box on the table.
This was the first time he crossed into this world and found it on one of the two masters, but Lu Chen didn't open the box for fear of danger, so he kept throwing it in the space until now.
Seeing this box again, Lu Chen finally couldn't suppress his curiosity, and planned to open it to see what was inside.
After all, it's something that such a powerful master carries with him.
Lu Chen thought about it, first checked the remaining energy of the system, there were still fifty points of energy left, enough to carry out a crossing, even if this box really had any danger such as poisonous smoke, he could teleport back to Blue Star.
Although the energy was sufficient, Lu Chen still picked up a Yuan Stone to let the system absorb the energy and replenish the 130 points of reserve energy.
Then he put the Yuan Stone and the pistol back into the system space, Lu Chen originally wanted to release the things in the system space so that the system could replenish the energy, but after seeing the Yuan Shi, Lu Chen still felt that this plan was inappropriate.
Yuanshi is such an important thing, except for putting it in the system space, I don't feel at ease when I put it in other places.
After all this was done, Lu Chen was ready to open the box.
Lu Chen deliberately opened the box in the direction of himself, so that even if there was a flying needle or something, it wouldn't shoot him.
Then he took the lid on the box in one hand and slowly lifted it.
The room was quiet, and none of the flying needles, poisonous smoke, or anything that Lu Chen imagined appeared.
Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't feel that he was in trouble doing this, after all, there was nothing wrong with being careful, there was only one life, and he finally had such a system, but he didn't want to play himself to death early.
Lu Chen turned the box around, and finally saw the contents of the box clearly.
"What is this?"
Looking at the contents of the box, Lu Chen immediately frowned.
