Chapter 6 Slums
At the same time, Su Ye had already arrived at the slum according to the navigation built into the chip, and at this time he was clutching his pocket containing silver coins, and his heart was still pounding.
There are two types of currencies used in the countries of the Western Continent. One is the banknotes issued by the United Nations in Syztalia, but they can be circulated in any country that has joined Syuztanya.
The second is the gold and silver monetary system that has existed in the Western Continent since ancient times. Although it is not easy to carry and store compared to paper money, it is better because the currency itself contains value and is easier for people to accept.
For example, in the Creel Empire, where Su Ye lived, even though banks had been set up as required by the United Nations, most people in the country still used gold and silver currency.
Touching the heavy silver coins in his pocket, Su Ye couldn't help but grin.
The short sword bought with 1 silver coin is attached to a demon, and it is sold for 30 silver coins when it is resold for 30 silver coins, making a lot of money!
Of course, he knew that the market price of the Magic Shortsword was more than that, otherwise the merchants of the weapon shop would not be so happy to make a deal.
And this kind of reselling business is not a long-term solution, just once or twice, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others...
But now with 30 silver coins, he can finally start his otherworldly survival plan.
The blacksmith furnace and iron-striking tools can be ordered from the iron shop, Su Ye has asked in advance, and a dozen or so silver coins can be done.
The shop is more troublesome, and the housing prices in the neighborhood of Benin City have been speculated to a few hundred silver coins per square meter, so you can only try your luck in the slums.
But he'll have to find an inn tonight to deal with the night.
Walking through the streets shrouded in night, Su Ye finally understood why this place was called a "slum".
The earthy yellow streets, the streetlights that stand in the dim light, the earthen houses on both sides, and the neon sign in front of a tavern are half broken, and it has become a "unitary official".
Everywhere you can see the sub-species drunk in the streets, throwing away the animal ears on their heads, the hair on their faces, and the tails on their backs, just like ordinary street runners.
Su Ye frowned and searched for a long time on the drunken street, and finally saw the word "hotel" on the neon sign in front of a small alley.
Walking into the alley, there is a pile of sewage inside, and there are a lot of leftover bones and empty wine bottles on the ground. If it weren't for the high cost of the hotel in the neighborhood, Su Ye really wanted to turn around and go back.
After walking dozens of steps, I found the so-called "hotel", which was actually an ordinary two-story house.
"The Black Hotel..."
Su Ye hesitated again and again, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Is it a guest?"
A crisp sound sounded from inside the door, followed by clicky footsteps, and when the door was opened, it was a little girl in her early teens.
The little girl had long silky brown hair, two shaggy ears hanging down her head, a dirty dress, and a pair of big round eyes that looked curiously at the stranger in front of her.
Bear... No, it's the Bears.
The bear-man girl blinked and asked, "Are you here to stay at the hotel?" 50 copper coins a day. ”
50 copper coins, that is, 0.05 silver coins, compared to the inns in the neighborhood that often cost hundreds of copper coins a night, it is simply a conscience price, but I don't know what the environment is...
Su Ye said: "I want to stay for one night first, is it okay to pay with silver coins?"
"Silver!?" The little girl of the bear clan widened her eyes, lowered her head and calculated with two thin little hands: "5 copper coins buy a loaf of bread, 50 copper coins are 10 loaves of bread, 1 silver coin can buy 200 loaves of bread, 200 loaves of bread minus 10 loaves of bread is ......"
"Stop, stop!" Su Ye couldn't cry or laugh, took out a silver coin from his pocket and put it in the little girl's hand, and said, "This silver coin should be stored in the store, arrange a room for me to stay in first."
"Okay!" The little girl of the bear tribe happily responded, turned her head and shouted into the house, "Daddy, there are guests who want to stay at the hotel-"
As soon as the words fell, an iron tower appeared in front of Su Ye.
To be precise, it was a burly subhuman male like an iron tower, more than two and a half meters tall, with tendons and flesh on his body bulging like rocks, and his face was covered with thick manes.
Just when Su Ye was thinking about whether to fall to the ground first and pretend to be dead, the tower-like bear clan man in front of him suddenly showed a sincere smile and said, "Guests, please come in, I'll go clean the room..."
"Let me do it, Dad, you've already broken four brooms." The bear-man girl snorted, and then jumped up to the second floor.
The big man of the bear people clan scratched his head, looked at Su Ye and asked, "... My name is Jim, Jim the bear, what about you? ”
"Su Ye, Su is my surname." Su Ye remembered the embarrassing scene in the weapon shop just now.
"Okay, Mr. Su, please come into the house and have a cup of hot tea." Jim turned his head, but forgot to bow down, only to hear a loud bang, and a semicircular gap appeared in the brick wall above the door.
Su Ye: "......"
The layout of the room was quite simple, but it was cleaned cleanly, Su Ye sat on a small round stool, took a sip of bitter tea, and asked, "Mr. Jim lives with his daughter?"
"yes." Jim nodded, completely oblivious to the painful squeak of the wooden stool beneath his butt.
"The orcs in the slums used to live in the mountains, but because of the appearance of demonic beasts, they all fled to Benin City one after another... I moved in with Shanna three years ago, and because I couldn't find a job, I built a hotel on my own. ”
Su Ye glanced at Jim's burly body and couldn't help but ask, "Are Warcraft so terrifying?"
"Horror!" Jim nodded heavily, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes: "They don't have reason, and they won't be afraid, even if they cut off their heads... It's the first time I've ever met such an unreasonable creature since I was a child. It's because of them that my people and my wife are..."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes in pain.
Su Ye couldn't help but sigh, and was about to say something of relief, but he heard Jim continue: "My clan and wife refused to move because of them, and stayed in the forest to organize a hunter team, but they disliked me for being too stupid and drove me to the city..."
Su Ye: "......"
After a while, Jim's daughter went downstairs after cleaning the guest room, and Su Ye completed the simple registration procedures at the front desk and was ushered to the innermost guest room on the second floor.
The room was cleaner than expected, with a large hardwood bed, bedding and sheets were freshly washed, and there was a piece of golden toast on the table, which was a giveaway.
Su Ye took off his shirt and pants and took a cold shower, lay on the big bed, and suddenly a feeling of tiredness surged all over his body.
In just one day, he was arrested after crossing into the world, forcibly inserted a chip, and finally used his professional skills twice, even Su Ye, who boasted of being extremely adaptable, was a little tired.
"I'm going to customize cast iron appliances tomorrow, and the shop doesn't have to rush first, you can stay in the hotel temporarily... By the way, I have to buy a few changes of clothes..."
Su Ye muttered a few times, and in the blink of an eye, he fell asleep......
