Chapter 8: Nightmares, Big Eyes
In the darkness that was deep, as if it could swallow the light, Su Ye opened his eyes blankly.
"Is this in a dream?"
He felt as if he was floating in mid-air, his limbs immobile as if they were filled with lead, the darkness before his eyes, and the fact that his ears were deaf and unable to hear the slightest sound.
Could this be a very mysterious lucid dream uploaded on the Internet?
The dreamer regains the ability to think and remember in the dream, and thus gains the means to manipulate the dream.
Su Ye had tried it himself before, but unfortunately it all ended in failure. But I didn't expect that I had a lucid dream on the first night after crossing into another world...
But it's different from what is uploaded on the Internet.,Can you control dreams at will? What about the villas, luxury cars, wine pools, and meat forests?
β......β
Not only that, but he always felt that in the endless darkness in front of him, there was a gaze staring directly at him.
Su Ye tried to open the only moving eye, trying to see the source of his gaze, but after all, he still couldn't penetrate the endless depth.
The next moment, there was a sudden cold, wet touch in his back, and some sticky, wet liquid burrowed into his back and injected it into his heart along the veins.
Pounding, pounding, pounding
The sound of a heart beating sounded in his chest, and as the unknown fluid poured more and more, the heart beat faster and faster.
Pounding, pounding!
The beating of his heart was completely out of control, and his blood was boiling like boiling water, Su Ye only felt that he couldn't breathe, a sense of suffocation enveloped his whole body, his eyes widened uncontrollably, and a touch of blood red flashed faintly in the depths of his dark pupils.
Just as his consciousness was about to disappear, he seemed to finally see the creature that had been watching him in the darkness.
Huge eyeballs......
ββββββββββ
bang
The loud noise in his ears and the pain in his forehead woke up Su Ye, and it turned out that he fell from the bed, rubbed his red forehead and stood up, only then did he realize that he was covered in sweat.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a terrible nightmare last night, dreaming of a huge eyeball staring at him......
Looking around, his mind gradually returned to his senses.
He traveled to another world yesterday and spent the night in a slum inn called Benin City...
Touching his pocket, the silver coin was still there, Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take a shower, but the door opened from the outside.
"It's time for breakfast!" The innkeeper's daughter, Shanna, burst in with a bag of bread in her arms, her hairy bear ears trembling.
Su Ye happened to be hungry too, so he took two hot toasts, and when he saw Shanna looking at him with blank eyes, he smiled and handed one over.
"I can't ask for this, it's for the guests." Shanna swallowed her saliva and said with difficulty.
"You're welcome, eat, I remember that I haven't eaten the bread last nightβ" Su Ye said and looked at the wooden table, but the bread on the table was long gone.
Shanna blushed slightly: "That... I see that you don't eat guests, so just..."
Su Ye: "......"
"It's okay, I can't have more than two loaves of bread for a snack, so I can share one with you if you want to eat it."
"Really? Wait a minuteβ" Shanna's eyes lit up, and she rushed out of the room with the rest of her head in her arms, returning in less than a minute empty-handed.
Su Ye smiled and gave her the bread, and the two sat on the bed together and chatted.
"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Su Ye took a bite of the golden bread, and the smell of wheat suddenly filled the tip of his tongue.
Shanna replied shyly, "Actually, I've already eaten five of them just now..."
Five!?
Su Ye was almost choked to death, but after thinking about it, he understood, after all, the other party was a bear people, which was understandable.
After a pause, Su Ye suddenly asked, "Are there any other guests in the hotel?"
"Yes! There are three guests on the first floor, and four guests on the second floor, and I heard my father say that they are all Warcraft hunters, and they are all fighting to protect the forest like my mother, and they are very powerful people! β
Protecting forests... Actually, it's to hunt for magic crystals...
Su Ye smiled, looked at the open space behind the hotel through the window, and asked, "Can you rent it to me in the backyard of the hotel?"
"Clearing?" Shanna blinked her big confused eyes and said dumbfoundedly, "There was originally a warehouse to be built there, why don't I help you ask Dad if you can rent it first?"
Seeing Su Ye nodding, Shanna swallowed the bread in two bites, trotted all the way downstairs, and soon came back with Jim, the innkeeper who was also confused.
"Would you like to rent the vacant space in the back?" Jim scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I originally wanted to build a warehouse there, but now the money has not been saved enough, if the guests want to use it, please feel free, no rent is required."
"Since it's Mr. Jim's land, it's better to rent it." Su Ye said seriously, "In this way, how about I give another 4 silver coins and rent the right to use this room and the vacant land for two months?" β
5 silver coins is a lot of money.
Jim couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept the silver coin, and said gratefully: "Mr. Su, I really don't know how to thank you, and if you can use it for me in the future, just ask."
"It's so polite, everyone is a friend..."Su Ye looked at the Jim Tower-like body, and the smile on his face became more and more kind.
"By the way, do you know where there are cheap iron shops nearby? I want to customize some ironware. β
......
......
As Jim said last night, the vast majority of people living in the slums are orcs who used to live in the forest.
They had to relocate to human cities due to the invasion of their habitat by demonic beasts, but most of the orcs had difficulty integrating into human society, and eventually had to be reduced to slums, surviving on simple chores.
The iron shop that Jim introduced to Su Ye was located on the edge of the poor area near the city gate, and before he could get closer, he heard the familiar sound of clanging iron.
In this world, the caster profession has been separated from the blacksmith.
Forgers who can forge a variety of weapons are sought after by everyone and have noble status. And things like making iron farm tools, the noble casters are absolutely unwilling to do, so they can only order from iron shops.
The boss of the iron shop is also a big five and three rough bear people, after hearing that Su Ye was introduced by Jim, he said angrily: "Iron tools under 20 catties are 1 silver coin per piece, and iron tools above 20 catties are added 1 silver coin for every 5 catties more."
Su Ye first explained the idea, and then drew the drawings, and the boss of the iron shop understood, nodded and said: "The hammer, the tongs, and the anvil are all simple, and the furnace is more troublesome, you need to buy fire bricks from the brick shop, and the price will be much higher..."
The total price is no more, no less, exactly 20 silver coins.
Su Ye paid with a painful face, and there were only 5 silver coins left on his body, but he still gritted his teeth and asked, "Boss, do you sell iron in your shop?"
"Of course it sells." The big man of the bear clan grinned, "This is all iron ore mined by my daughter-in-law and brothers in the mountains, if you want to buy it, I will give you a preferential price?"
β......β
Sure enough, there is still a difference between bears and bears, look at Jim, how honest and honest...
