Chapter 4 Survival
After many inquiries, Qiu Ming finally knew the exact location he was in now - Yongnan County. Yongnan County is the southernmost county town in the Northern Continent, and has always belonged to the sphere of influence of the human race.
Qiu Ming knew as early as a child that the entire continent was bounded by an abyss that spanned east and west, the south of the boundary was called the Divine Grass Continent, and the north of the boundary was called the Soul Continent. The origin of the chasm has not been recorded in historical materials, and the Divine Grass Continent is commonly known as the Death Domain, because since ancient times, there has been no other life in this continent except for plants and trees to inhabit and thrive there; as for the Soul Continent, it is divided into five parts: the Human Continent, the Demon Beast Forest, the Shenlong Continent, the Arctic Ice Field, and the Extreme North Ice Field. The Arctic Icefield, which is rarely inhabited, is rumored to be more desolate and uninhabited than the Shencao Continent.
As early as hundreds of years ago, a certain powerhouse of the Shenlong clan accidentally flew out of the Shenlong Continent after his power reached the [Knowing Fate] realm, so he also explored this information, and later recorded it in the ancient books of the Shenlong clan.
As a result, the great cause of the Shenlong clan to unify the three continents has also begun.
It's just because the human race has excellent talents, and the talent of the beast race is not weaker than that of the Shenlong clan, so the Shenlong clan has not completed such a hegemony for a long time.
Qiu Ming shook his head, these trivial things have nothing to do with him at all, and at present, the first thing he needs to do is to find a safe place to live, because his current identity is a member of the human race, and his cultivation is zero, it can be said that he is not even as good as an ordinary person at this time, so he desperately needs a job that can be self-reliant.
After breaking into the city gate of Yongnan County, he walked on the crowded street, his eyes flashed with a trace of indifference, and he looked coldly at the young men and girls passing by, and a trace of bitterness surged in his heart: if he could be like them, he could live happily every day, what a fascinating thing it would be.
Alas, with a sigh, he regained his mood, pretended to be good, and glanced up, and was stunned to find that he was standing in front of the door of an inn at some point: the Battle Strategy Inn.
He clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: I want to eat, I want to live.
When entering the inn, a black oppressive head moved, strange but silent, giving people an illusion of chaos but quiet.
"Giggles!" With a burst of laughter like silver bells, a small figure broke into Qiu Ming's sight, only to see this woman facing Qingxiu, dressed in a white power suit, giving people a feeling of being strong on the outside and dry in the middle.
Qiu Ming was observing the woman at the same time, the woman was also observing Qiu Ming: the clothes were dirty, as if they had not been washed for a long time, seeing Qiu Ming's dress, the woman was suddenly suspicious, intuitively, she felt that Qiu Ming was not rich to live in the hotel, and then asked with interest: "Guest officer, but do you want to live in the hotel?"
"No, I need a job, I want to be a junior in the inn, specializing in serving the upper class. ”
Poof, the woman was immediately amused by Qiu Ming's words: this person is definitely a master who has not been deeply involved, and said with a smile: "If you want to work in the inn, you can do it, but the initial salary is a little low: only one or two lines of silver." ”
One or two lines of silver? Qiu Ming's face was a little dark: one or two lines of silver were indeed a little low: he had already inquired about them, and one or two lines of silver could not even afford a glass of medium wine.
Seeing that Qiu Ming was not satisfied, the woman smiled and comforted: "This is only the salary of the first month, if you are still very good in the next month, it is very possible that the salary will rise to two taels, or even three taels or five taels." ”
Qiu Ming nodded: he has nothing else to ask for under his realization, he just wants to find a place to live, but the problem of salary can still be high, after all, at this time, he has to have a longing for the salary table, because this is the law of survival in the eyes of ordinary people: only money is supreme.
"Your job is not difficult, just deliver cooked meals to guests' rooms or doors. ”
Qiu Ming nodded again: In this way, this kind of work is really simple and tight.
The woman smiled and said, "Come with me!"
After settling his livelihood in this way, Qiu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the woman to the back of the lobby, looking at the woman's delicate figure behind him, and a trace of inexplicable ripples arose in his heart.
"Have you ever done anything else before?"
The woman habitually turned her head and asked with a smile.
After thinking about it in his heart, Qiu Ming gritted his teeth fiercely, and finally firmly spit out two words from between his teeth: "I have done it before, but I didn't do that job later because of my qualifications." ”
Oh, the woman replied lightly and waved her little hand: "From now on, this will be the place where you work." ”
Qiu Ming took his eyes off the woman's shadow, and the others had already stood in front of the exit of the kitchen, but he saw the wooden tables piled up in front of the door, neatly stacked in a row, and his eyes swept slightly, and saw that these wooden tables were so old that most of the paint had been removed, as if they were old, but they were full of all kinds of wine and delicacies.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food in front of him, Qiu Ming couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: at this time, he was already hungry because he hadn't eaten for a long time.
Sensing his gaffe, Qiu Mingshu laughed: At this time, absolutely no one could have imagined that the Shenlong family, which had the most hope of becoming the descendant of the next generation of patriarchs of the Golden Dragon branch, would actually fall to such a downtrooping state: he actually wanted to sell his arrogant Long Yan to serve those lowly human races and make a living from it.
"What's funny in mind that makes you laugh so happily?" the woman was a little curious, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You might as well say it and let me laugh too." ”
Qiu Ming hurriedly covered up shyly: "It's nothing funny" Seeing the woman's bold and unbridled beautiful eyes swimming on his body, Qiu Ming found that there was an inexplicable heat on his face.
"Well, you stay here first, and someone will teach you how to do it later. ”
When the words fell, the woman left with a pretty face.
Qiu Ming turned his head and glanced at the woman again, the snow-white tight-fitting brocade dress set off the woman's petite figure more and more petite and exquisite, which made people couldn't help but be touched.
However, for Qiu Ming at the moment, it is only an occasional touch, nothing more.
It has been half a month since I knew the woman's name: the woman's name is Duan Xia, and she is the director of the Battle Strategy Inn. Qiu Ming smiled bitterly, the word [Duan Xia], grouped together, is very inconspicuous, and gives people a very earthy feeling, I really don't know who his parents are?
"You're new here!?"
The person on the other side looked Qiu Ming up and down, the disdain in his eyes was undoubted, and he secretly said in his heart: Another big fool who has been fooled.
Looking at that person's disdain, Qiu Ming's heart suddenly surged with an urge to reject it: judging from this person's demeanor and appearance, this person is definitely not a good person, and he is not worthy of deep friendship at all.
The next few days of contact made Qiu Ming more firm in his judgment: this person has always been in pursuit of high-end enjoyment as his own style, especially in gorgeous and noble clothes, he is extremely generous, but doing so always makes him fall into a financial embarrassment, but fortunately, he is thick enough to always borrow some money from others to solve this urgent need.
However, at this time, his ruffian temperament also followed: borrowing money and not paying it back. And the consequence of this is that his reputation is notorious, and no one lends him money, no, he stretched out his dirty hand to Qiu Ming: just pity Qiu Ming's one or two lines of silver, and he was deceived under the soft grinding and hard foaming of the other party's three-inch incorruptible tongue.
Qiu Ming looked coldly at Li Kewen, who was lying on his back on the table lazily basking in the sun, and said solemnly: "Li Kewen, I need money recently, I hope you will return the money to me!"
"It's really annoying to collect debts again!" After muttering a sentence of dissatisfaction, Li Kewen stretched lazily, sat up from the table and chair, and then hazy his eyes, flipped over his empty sleeves with his withered yellow right hand, and replied nonchalantly: "No, Qiu Ming, you also saw that if you want to collect debts, you have to wait until the day of the 21st to pay your salary." ”
Hearing that the other party wanted to repay the debt, Qiu Ming was a little anxious.
"Okay, okay, on the twenty-first day, I will definitely pay you back as soon as I get paid, of course, your money, I have already used it to buy new clothes, if you really want this money, no, you can pull off my new clothes to pay off the debt." ”
Looking at the new clothes bought by the other party, Qiu Ming felt a burst of dizziness, the new clothes had already shown a little wrinkles due to the long pressure under his body, and at this time, Qiu Ming couldn't help but be annoyed: This is my hard-earned money for a month, and I was actually coaxed into squandering it by this guy in a few words.
"No, wait a minute, you can pull this clothes away. ”
Li Kewen waved his hand at Qiu Ming, then turned over and lay back lazily.
