Chapter 20: The Return of Pompeii
Summer paid one hundred Orre coins and carpooled to Pompeii.
The journey took a little longer than it had been twenty-nine years ago, and it was only after the third Blood Moon that the group reached their destination.
The appearance of Pompeii has not changed much from what he remembers, with tall walls, flat streets, bustling crowds, and only the stone slabs on the ground have been trampled on for decades, grinding away the edges and potholes, but they have also become somewhat misplaced or mutilated.
After entering the city, Su Mo went straight to the central plot of Pompeii's tic-tac-toe layout.
He didn't go out this time to buy slaves, but to receive the medicine man in the "welfare" of the Apothecary Master.
According to the regulations of Olga's territory, each registered apothecary master has a free pharmacist quota every fifty blood moon days, and if you don't receive it in the current period, the number of pharmacists will be automatically accumulated, and after accumulating to 100, you can exchange for a sequence 9 pharmacist.
It's like playing a check-in game.
5,000 blood moon days are calculated as 365 days, which is equivalent to 13.7 years, and Su Mo has been promoted for more than 30 years, and can receive two Sequence Nine Extraordinary.
One of the places was determined by the cultivator, and the other was left by him to increase the tolerance rate, ready to improvise when the time came.
Just like farming, the soil, water, and climate of the area are the key to planting crops, and you can refer to the general routine, but in the end, you have to return to local conditions.
The location of receiving the "welfare" is the same as when it was registered, it is the official office of the city, and Su Mo inquired in advance, and it is the consul Olmer under the command of the "Goddess of Life" who runs Pompeii.
The initiator and compiler of textbooks such as tactical movements is also an unusually familiar name.
Arriving at the location, Su Mo found that the style of the official office was quite special, seemingly casual but very orderly, and the arrangement of the blood clan staff also gave people a sense of order.
He took out his identification to register, and soon a person came out of the queue and led him to the medicine man's living quarters.
The medicine man's living area was located in the plot in the lower right corner of Pompeii, and Su Mo felt the subtle atmosphere as soon as he entered the door.
It was not the Delos Exchange, where the forced imprisonment and custody of slaves were treated very laxly, to the point that they were not in captivity.
Most of the medicine people living here are humans, and a few are mixed-race, and they all seem to have a simple happiness, at least they have more smiles on their faces than pedestrians on the street.
When he saw the Clansmen in charge with a stranger, there was even a boy of seven or eight years old who had the courage to say hello, and although he was quickly held down and bowed by his mother beside him, there was not much fear on the adult's flattering face.
Su Mo followed behind the handover of the Bloodline Administrator, his eyes silently swept over the carefree people, and a description suddenly appeared in his mind: pure, weak, and ignorant lamb.
The blood clan management introduced to him that although there are benefits for medicine people, because of the need for their own identification, most of the medicine masters will not make a special trip just to receive ordinary medicine people, especially those who live in other places, so there are not many ordinary medicine people who go out from here.
Of course, Su Mo said in his heart, William City is relatively close to Pompeii, and a one-way trip costs 100 Ore gold coins, which is a full 400,000 yuan, which is enough to hire twenty ordinary medicine people, not to mention the extra drug giver to pay the fare for the return trip...... Not only did you lose all your money back and forth, but you also had to paste it upside down.
"Will you be able to break even?" Su Mo asked, "Or is there a special subsidy?" ”
Perhaps it was because he was too idle to work here, but he did not appear impatient with his problem of blood management, but explained it with great interest.
"Not only is it balanced, but the income is far greater than the expenditure." "Medicine people contribute blood on a regular basis, and because they are raised in strict accordance with high standards of emotional conditions, the blood they produce is the most high-grade product on the market......"
Speaking of this, he even started to sell: "It's all here, do you want to buy some and taste them by the way?" There are different specifications of products, large quantities and discounts......"
Su Mo was as good as a stream, and agreed to buy some of the products.
Looking at the satisfied smile of the blood clan manager, and even his attitude was a little more enthusiastic, he couldn't help but speculate with some malice:
Is this a commission for selling a product, or is it just a personal hobby?
Su Mo continued to scan the surroundings, noticing that the environment here resembled a family area for employees who had traveled through a former state-owned enterprise, taking over every aspect of the medicine man's life, as if it were a small self-sufficient society.
He said casually again, "Why don't you feel like you haven't seen a few of the managed blood clans?" ”
The management of the blood clan laughed haha, and his expression was quite complacent: "Of course there are not many blood clans, most of the affairs here are managed by the medicine people themselves, there are a total of three levels under the blood clan, the lowest is the ordinary medicine people, then the representatives elected by the medicine people, and then the agents we appointed......"
Su Mo felt a chill in his heart, but his face was still as usual, and he pretended to be curious and asked, "What a clever management system!" I don't know who designed it? ”
"You're Pompeii under your feet, who else can there be?" There was reverence in the eyes of the Bloodline Steward, "This is a plan formulated by the Olmer government, and each one is full of management wisdom. ”
"Yes...... Su Mo replied with a smile on his face and slowly bowed his head, "True wisdom." ”
Although there are not many ordinary medicine people who are distributed as "welfare", there is no overcrowding of medicine people who have grown up in happiness.
The main reason is that the chance of birth of the transcendent medicine man is too low.
"Among about thirty or forty ordinary medicine people, there can be one medicine person who has initially obtained extraordinary powers." The Bloodline Administrator said nonchalantly, "The probability of further mastering the supernatural power is even lower, it will take about two or three hundred people to pile up a ......"
The way to obtain transcendent power is quite simple and crude, that is, to feed the trait directly, although there is no concept of a sequential path at this time, it is still possible to judge the value and power according to the spirituality that the trait escapes.
On average, 30 to 40 people can produce a sequence nine, and the mortality rate of sequence eight and above has soared nearly ten times in an instant due to the direct skipping sequence irrigation characteristic......
Su Mo followed his words and asked, "How did you convince the medicine people to accept the supernatural powers?" After all, the mortality rate is so high. ”
In fact, before the words were asked, he already knew the answer.
Sure enough, the Bloodline Manager boasted, "Still need to be convinced? As long as the notice is given, countless medicine people will sign up immediately, and finally a batch of them will have to be screened......"
"Awesome! It's too strong......" Su Mo continued to wink.
Just when he felt that the atmosphere was almost rendered, and he could try to make a request to select the path of the Extraordinary, the expression of the blood clan management suddenly changed.
Jealousy, envy, contempt...... Hostile.
Su Mo followed his gaze and saw a human.
It was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with short silver hair, a slender body, skin as white as jade, eyes as blue as the sea, and eyebrows and eyes quite handsome and beautiful.
A human extraordinary!
A free human extraordinary!
A free human extraordinary, at least in the middle sequence!
A free human extraordinary, at least in the middle sequence, who has not yet gone crazy!
Before Su Mo could complain, "You put this stack of buffs aside", he saw the silver-haired and blue-eyed young man walking straight in this direction.
The gloomy face of the Bloodclan Steward twitched, his gaze was cloudy, and his body trembled slightly in humiliation, but when the young man came to him, he had to bow his head and say in a tone that seemed to be respectful but actually resistant:
"Lord Ed."
