A few months later.

The date has come to the end of the solar calendar 4418, and next year's June 1st is exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, which is the exact time of the public beta.

At this point, there are still six months left before the open beta.

The weather in Amber City is getting colder.

There was even a light snow in the sky, which was blown by the wind, and snowflakes fell on the hats, scarves and shoulders of pedestrians. The body temperature melts the snowflakes into the fibers of ice water, and people can't help but shiver.

Residents of the inner city are prepared for the cold, wool coats, padded trench coats, all sorts of fashionable fur gloves and hats, and even warm water bags studded with jewels and diamonds.

"The winters of these years are getting colder and colder......

At a table in front of Chen Lun, two old men wrapped in coats were drinking and chatting.

"I heard that the crops outside the city are not harvested, and the crops at the beginning of next spring will also be affected, and now the price of food is generally rising, and the crime rate in the outer city is rising faster than the price of food, alas."

"Oh, last week my son had a dinner with Mr. Hardy, who was on Moses' voyage, and had a business conversation, and it happened to be about these things......"

One of the old men picked up a delicate wine glass, took a sip, and shook his head with emotion.

"Now the price of salt transported from some salt-producing cities in Amethyst City, Apatite City and Wushui Mangshi City has basically increased several times...... Pickled fish and meat are not salty enough to spoil easily, and now that food is expensive, refugees outside the city have died in piles. ”

The three men at the other table heard the conversation and joined in with great interest.

"That's busy, if the corpse is not disposed of in time, it will lead to epidemics!"

A chubby white man with glasses said, drinking wine.

One of his companions, lighting a cigarette, added:

"Plagues have already begun to spread, and the surrounding towns such as Emerald Town, Bingnuo Town, and Youdou Town have all had plagues, and those scattered small villages have become hotbeds of damned epidemics......!

The inner city security office must guard the Amber Bridge, and people from the outer city cannot be easily allowed to enter! It's hard to think otherwise......"

Another companion, who looked polite, frowned, and said with a look of disgust:

"Actually, the Amber River has long been polluted by those disgusting hybrids, and maybe we have a plague in our drinking water every day!

The people in the outer city should be damned, they should all be driven away! ”

When his two companions heard this, they looked a little nervous, but they persuaded him anyway:

"It shouldn't be that serious...... Dumi, you're so excited. ”

The Sven man named Dumi did not give up, and after two sips of the spirits, the disgust on his face became even worse, and he began to blush and curse. even bluntly said that if he joined the army, he would definitely kill all those inferior people.

The two old men shook their heads at this.

One of the old men called the waiter again, brought a few glasses of expensive liquor, and then took out a small packet of unknown strange things from his bosom.

"Don't worry, lads...... I happen to have a little anti-epidemic medicine here, so I'll give you a little bit to eat. ”

The old man opened the small wrapper, and inside were two pieces of broken black solid, which looked a little sticky and unhygienic.

The three men looked at each other, and immediately shook their heads, no one dared to accept this strange "drug".

"Don't worry, this is the anti-epidemic medicine developed by the believers of the 'Black Emissary', you can take some and try it...... In these days, even the Red Apple Church can't be trusted, so which existence should you believe in in order to be redeemed? ”

As he spoke, the old man had already picked up a piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

There was nothing strange about the expression on his face, but he slammed his mouth unsatisfied.

Seeing this, the three men were worried about the plague and remembered the newly built Black Messenger Square, and finally put some black paste into their mouths.

After all, the "black messenger" that arose during this period of time is quite convincing, after all, the incident half a year ago was witnessed by too many people.

"Hmm...... The taste is sweet, which is brown sugar? ”

The white and fat man with glasses chewed a few times and wondered.

The old man nodded and asked with a smile:

"Do you feel warm?"

The three men suddenly felt tightness in their chests and sweat on their foreheads, and they began to worry if they had eaten some kind of poison.

"Oh, don't be nervous, it's the anti-epidemic medicine at work, plus you just drank some wine...... It's right to be hot, you just feel warm and powerful, and it's not a bad thing. ”

The old man looked at the people at the tables around him again, and simply enthusiastically sent the "epidemic prevention medicine" in his hand.

The other guests had heard the conversation earlier, and since this was a famous bar in the inner city, almost all of them were familiar faces, so they weren't too vigilant.

After a while, several middle-aged guests took some "epidemic prevention medicine" from the old man and took it on the spot.

They all said that they were really hot and felt good.

"Young man, would you like some?"

The old man looked at Chen Lun and handed out the small paper bag in his hand.

"Thank you very much ......"

Chen Lun responded with a polite smile.

He picked up a small piece at random, but didn't put it in his mouth.

He's done divination with this thing just now, so it's okay to take it.

Now I hold it in my hand, and after the basic identification of the panel, it is confirmed that it is an ordinary sugar cube, but it seems that there are some herbs and plants added to it.

"Sir, where are the followers of the 'Black Emissary' you are talking about? I would also like to purchase some of these anti-epidemic medicines......"

Chen Lun looked at the sugar cube in his hand and asked with a chuckle.

He was curious about who was selling "drugs" for profit in his name.

The old man didn't think too much about it, and directly said the house number of a more remote neighborhood in the inner city, and explained that it was an older clinic.

The popularity of anti-epidemic drugs has gradually increased in the circle recently, not only because of the severe situation of the plague, but also partly because the completion of the Black Messenger Square has strengthened more residents' beliefs.

From time to time, people would come to the Black Messenger Square to worship the bronze statue of the black wing next to the fountain.

Chen Lun did not come forward to admit the incident, and he did not want to attract the attention of the Sun Church and the asylum because of this. After all, it has just been "whitewashed", so don't make any more trouble, it's better to develop honestly for a while.

And even if he wants to act as the faith of the masses, I am afraid that he will be powerless.

At present, just as a low-sequence transcendent, it is easy to be exposed, and the disadvantages caused by the time will be even more serious.

It is better to let this misunderstanding continue to be wonderful, as long as he does not admit it, then the Sun Church and the asylum will turn a blind eye and not pay too much attention to a meaningless image of faith.

Jingling......!

At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open, and a cold air poured in from outside.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a tall fat man walking in with his head bowed, and showed them an embarrassed smile.

The fat man carried a black square tool bag in his hand, and several wooden sticks emerged from it, which seemed to be part of an easel.

"Noah, here."

Chen Lun beckoned to him, and then said goodbye to the two old men.

When Noah approached, Chen Lun greeted him briefly, and then sat down.

Chen Lun was originally waiting for him here, so he asked the waiter to prepare a relatively strong and large chair in advance, but even so, after Noah sat down, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Let's just sit down for a while, and then we'll go."

Chen Lun smiled and comforted and poured a glass of wine for Noah.

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

Noah scratched his head, picked up his glass, and drained it.

Since a few months ago, the circus has been running out of liquidity.

After the goods are sold, they are turned into capital investment, and now the circus plate is getting bigger and bigger, but there is little liquidity left.

In order to maintain the huge expenses, Chen Lun finally decided to start receiving commissions, some of which were transferred from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

This can somewhat reduce the financial pressure, and can also give the team members some opportunities for mysterious accumulation.

Today, Noah happened to be in the same place as his commission, so he made an appointment to go together.

Before Noah came, he also completed a commission to paint a portrait of the mother of a wealthy businessman...... I heard that after cutting the handling fee, there were 20 gold pounds in the end.

'Painting is so profitable......

Chen Lun sighed.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand why Noah, the young owner of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, is still so excited when he works for himself in turn.

"Noah, in fact, you can also take the handling fees deducted...... After all, they are all a family, so don't pay so much attention to it. ”

Chen Lun drank hot milk and said seriously.

Noah laughed twice, knowing that Mr. Jack was joking, so he shook his head and said:

"I just have an identity there and get dividends every once in a while, but I don't actually participate in any family business......

I didn't realize it before, but it turned out that the feeling of going out to complete the customer's commission and earning the commission money was so enjoyable. ”

Chen Lun smiled, is this the "rich second-generation part-time job quotations"?

The two sat for a while, and Chen Lun suddenly spoke:

"Noah, it's time for us to go...... There will be a riot here in a moment. ”

Noah was slightly stunned, then nodded at him, and didn't ask why, seemingly trusting.

The two of them got up and walked straight out of the bar.

A cool breeze was blowing in my face, and before the door of the bar was closed, I heard a noisy crash of seats and exclamations behind me.

"Oh my sun! Dumi! What happened to you?! ”

"Hey friend! Wake up!! ”

"Poor fellow, is this an acute illness?!"

Boom!

The door to the bar is closed.

Everything has nothing to do with Chen Lun.

He lifted his steps and walked forward, followed by Noah with his tool bag.

"It's just his fate, that's the end of it."

Chen Lun shook his head slightly, and calmly recounted the matter.

"A sudden illness killed him...... No one knows if they will survive tomorrow. ”

Ironically, Chen Lun observed through his peeping eyes that this guy who suddenly had a vicious illness, named Du Mi, was actually not from the eastern part of the mainland...... This means that his family, from the beginning of their ancestors, is a foreigner who has immigrate, perhaps even more inferior than the inferior people in his mouth.

"Let's go, Third Avenue."

Chen Lun said with a smile.

"You go and paint portraits, I'll do divination, and maybe train dogs...... Our circus business is getting more and more high-end. ”
