Chapter 293: Man is Iron and Rice is Steel
At the beginning, the royal family still insisted on maintenance and restoration, but later no one took care of it at all, and the small place saved a lot of expenses, which can be regarded as throttling.
This is also the tragedy of the wasteland, human beings have finally come out of the dark ages, rebuilding human civilization on the devastated land, and it is not easy to survive, where can we care about such a trivial matter as discharging sewage?
As a result, even a city of the size of the Fire Theft City is also a cross-flow of sewage, defecation can be seen everywhere, and domestic garbage is directly transported to the sea for dumping, making the sea breeze blow, and the whole city is stinking.
But now it's much better than before, Chen Mu said when listening to other people's chatter, in the past, there were no rules on where to dump garbage on the seaside, and where not to.
So the entire coastline is a garbage dump, and the whole city is stinking 24 hours a day, and it is impossible to live.
Later, it was estimated that the adults in the inner city were also too tired of the smoke, so it was stipulated that garbage and sewage should be discharged downwind, that is, the southern area of the coastline.
The inn where Chen Mu lives is not far from this garbage sea, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
The upside is that single suites with separate toilets are cheaper and have a much larger number of rooms than hotels in other areas.
It is also easy to understand that the whole city does not have a systematic underground drainage system at all, and can only rely on rudimentary external pipes to discharge, and the longer distances do not have this condition, so they can only rely on manual collection, and then transport the garbage to the sea for dumping.
Only areas that are close to each other can enjoy the lower cost of direct pipe discharge, and the number of rooms with separate toilets is naturally higher.
The disadvantage is that the smell is a little unpleasant, there is no sea breeze, or the weather is not too windy, and once the wind blows, it really has to block the nostrils.
For a true innate martial artist like Chen Mu, not breathing in a short period of time is nothing, the body can self-circulate, but it still can't be done for too long, in short, it's acceptable to live here.
If you really want to go to a hotel in another area and squeeze the toilet with dozens or hundreds of stinky strong men, then it is better to go camping in the wild.
After grooming and solving his personal physiological problems, Chen Mu put on a cleaned cloak and put on a mask, but it was just a half-face mask, the upper part of the nose was exposed, and the shape was half of a sea monster's sharp teeth.
This kind of mask is still relatively popular in the city of fire thieves, and it is said that it was originally liked by pirates, which not only looks more vicious, but can also play a certain protective role, but it is not as stuffy as a full-face mask.
The key point is that the full-face mask does not reveal any personal features at all, and is most liked by fugitives or people who cannot see the light, and it is easy to be misunderstood when walking outside wearing this mask.
It's okay to talk about other places, but here in the City of Fire Thieves, there are some special troubles, and people wearing full-face masks here are easy to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Chen Mu didn't know at first, he got on the airship while wearing the previous mask, and heard other passengers chatting on the way, and there were other passengers wearing full-face masks who took the initiative to change into this half-face mask, so he knew that there was still such a taboo on the side of the Fire Thief City.
More is better than less, Chen Mu reprocessed the previous mask, that is, cut off the top half, and made do with the Fire Thief City first.
After entering the city, I found that there were many vendors selling all kinds of half-face masks, so I bought this easily, and after wearing it, it was not conspicuous at all, and it was a proper image of passers-by.
But the mask can show the upper half of the face, the cloak can't, Chen Muzai carefully checked the cloak, there was no damage, and put a layer of chain mail inside, plus a set of light leather armor, and finally put on the whole body cloak.
There's no way, it's all to cover up his metalized body, as for the bit of defense brought by chain mail and light leather armor, it's not worth mentioning at all, and higher-grade martial artists disdain to wear this kind of road goods.
Only those acquired martial artists who are not in the stream, and they are rookies who are so poor that they will use this kind of ordinary metal armor, and those who are a little richer will choose weapons and equipment made of mutant beast materials to increase European qi.
Chen Mu has become an alternative existence, obviously living in a "luxury single room" with a silver carat for one night, but wearing such a cheap spicy chicken equipment, and he doesn't even have a weapon, is it a joke to play karate?
In the battle of low-level martial artists, weapons are very important existences, and the total amount of European energy of these salted fish battle scum is very small, and the quality is also very poor, it is impossible to fight like a master, and can only rely on weapons to fight.
Chen Mu didn't have time to pay attention to these small details, he just wanted to cover his metalized body, otherwise it would be a trouble if it was exposed.
"Yo, dog, are you up, what are you going to eat?"
Go out and go down to the hall on the first floor, and immediately there will be a little two to greet him, this hall is mainly a place to eat, but the grade is not high, the real guests naturally live in a separate courtyard, and there is another place to eat.
And those who eat in the hall are those who are neither high nor low, that is, the guests who live in rooms of Chen Mu's grade, most of them are in groups of three or five, and there are also a few solo travelers.
As for the lower-level salted fish war scum scum, not to mention that some are reluctant to stay in the inn at all, even if they come to stay in the hotel, most of them are crowded shops, and the worst ones only need a few copper carats to stay for one night.
Of course, the biggest problem with living in this stinky Chase shop is not the poor conditions, but the possibility of encountering various dangers, such as the possibility that someone will call you to get up in the middle of the night to pick up soap and so on. ć½(*ć >Š<)oć
In short, if you live in this kind of Chase Shop, even if something happens, the inn doesn't care, who makes you have no money.
For a grade like Chen Mu, it is completely different, not to mention anything else, just the room fee of one silver carat per day is not something that ordinary salted fish war scum can afford.
And the consumption in this hall is not low, it really doesn't cost a lot of money to eat well, but if you want to eat well, it's not cheap.
Chen Mu is a new guest, that is, when he came yesterday, he went to this hall to have a meal.
But here's the problem, if you really want to talk about it, since the fight crossed over, Chen Mu has been living a miserable life, either being a slave and being controlled by others, or running away for all kinds of deaths, and there are only a handful of good days that really pretend to be forced.
This time, I finally got rid of a bunch of troubles, and I also got a few small money in my pocket for "Tianxingdao", and I can't afford high consumption, but I can't afford to eat something good to treat my stomach, Chen Mu feels that it's still okay, and it should be.
So yesterday's meal, although he was not extravagant and wasteful, the flashy high-end dishes were not ordered, but the delicious and delicious food was not less, and in the end he was stunned to consume almost a gold carat, which was regarded as a high roller in the hall.
