Chapter 414 Pawn Shop

In silence, Su Qiubai followed the uncle.

However, he secretly made a decision in his heart. He would fulfill his promise no matter what, stand in front of Xia Rongrong at all times, and be willing to face the whole world for her!

After chatting like this, Su Qiubai also had a new understanding of this uncle.

I originally thought he was in a position similar to that of a traffic policeman, but later I realized... this uncle's status in Sky City is almost the same as that of a cleaner in China.

To put it bluntly, they are the hardest workers, but the two worlds have different concepts of garbage.

After understanding this, the old driver had indescribable respect and gratitude for this uncle named Tiangong.

In this way, the two of them returned to Uncle Tiangong's home.

The residential area in the city is divided into five levels. Uncle Tiangong is located in the fifth level, which is also the suburb of the entire city. It is almost the same concept as the slums.

However, after the day's work, Uncle Tiangong seemed very happy. After receiving his reward, he took Su Qiubai to the market to kill a strange-looking chicken.

But even though it looked weird, Su Qiubai could see and feel that... this chicken's body contained very powerful energy.

It was also because of this that he vaguely understood why there were so many powerful warriors in the Sky City. This may be a large part of the reason.

When chatting before, Uncle Tiangong said that he has a daughter who has just entered elementary school. It just so happened that Su Qiubai was also a guest today, so he killed a chicken and ate it with the whole family.

After arriving at Uncle Tiangong's house, Su Qiubai finally saw what kind of place this family lived.

To put it harshly, it is even worse than some slums in China.

The family only has two rooms and a toilet. One room is used for cooking, and all three members of the family live here. The other room is used for other things.

To be honest, Su Qiubai was shocked when he saw it.

Originally, he thought that in such a powerful world and such a powerful city, everyone should be able to live well.

But now, he found that he was wrong.

However, Uncle Tiangong's daughter is very cute and his wife is also very kind. The whole family welcomes Su Qiubai's arrival.

So, as an inexplicable guest, the old driver had his first meal in this city in the sky.

Although it was very simple, I was very happy to eat. Listening to Uncle Tiangong's family chatting, he had a preliminary understanding of this strange city in the sky.

However, he still couldn't find a suitable way to contact Xia Rongrong, which made him feel a little depressed and had a feeling that he had no idea where to start.

Uncle Tiangong's family also seemed a little curious about Su Qiubai. They seemed worried about something but were unwilling to say it out loud.

But in the end, they didn't ask any more questions. Everyone had their own secrets, and there was no need to explore so much.

When the meal was about to end, Su Qiubai heard that Tiangong's daughter seemed to want something, but Tiangong and his wife were silent at the same time.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little uncomfortable. The old driver sitting next to him didn't understand much. He only saw the little girl's face of anxiety and anxiety.

"Dad, I don't want it anymore...you can borrow it from someone else..."

The little girl's name is Liz. She is very cute, but at this moment her expression is very uneasy, especially when she sees the gloom on her parents' faces.

"Liz, I'm sorry..."

After a long silence, Uncle Tiangong spoke. He looked very disappointed. His eyes, which were bright at first, were full of guilt at this moment.

"Dad, there's no need to be sorry. When I get good grades this semester, the school will give me rewards, and then I'll have money to buy them!"

Liz smiled hard, but these words made Tiangong and his wife even more uncomfortable. They were speechless and could only sigh helplessly.

The old driver sitting next to him finally understood what was going on.

He grew up in the countryside, and although he had never experienced anything like Sky City, at this moment he completely understood the difficulties of the family in front of him!

To put it simply, it’s money!

Because of poverty, the child's simplest wishes cannot be fulfilled. Although Liz is a very sensible child, the pain of the Tiangong couple must be unforgettable!

The old driver wanted to help this family, but now he is indeed a little depressed.

He had already inquired with Long Lado before, and he also saw with his own eyes from Tiangong that the currency of this world is completely different from that of the earth.

In other words, the gold on earth is completely worthless here!

Under such circumstances, Su Qiubai was not only a pauper, but he did not even have the ability to repay the fifty copper coins he owed Uncle Tiangong.

Ever since, this sad mood was contagious to him.

I originally thought that I would be able to see Xia Rongrong immediately when I came here, but who knew that it would be so difficult? What I didn't expect was that I would be stumped by money!

The meal ended like this.

Su Qiubai stood on the balcony and vaguely heard the Tiangong couple discussing whether to sell something. It is said that parents all over the world always have the same mood towards their children.

As for Liz, she was sitting quietly on the sofa reading a book.

Anyway, nothing happened. Su Qiubai suddenly had an idea in his mind. He took the initiative to ask Liz about whether there was anything like a pawn shop around.

He still has some jade pendants and other messy things on his body, and he doesn't know if he can exchange them for some money. Even if he can't help Tiangong's family, at least he can pay off his debt.

Although Liz didn't know what Su Qiubai planned to do, she quickly told him that there was a shop on the street not far downstairs where you could pawn items!

Before the little girl could ask again what Su Qiubai was going to do, the old driver had already left.

Who would have thought that the veteran driver who could do anything on earth would now be in such a state of decline.

But it is said that a penny can stump a heroic man. Now that he has arrived in this city in the sky, it is already difficult for him to see Xia Rongrong.

Before that, I at least hope to be able to help Tiangong and his family.

Liz was right. After arriving on the street, he soon saw the store.

The scale is very large, and it looks majestic from the outside. The veteran driver was even more surprised when he entered.

The City in the Sky is indeed extraordinary. Everything in it looks strange and strange. At least Su Qiubai has never seen it on earth.

But again, these things that he didn't recognize at all were also incredibly expensive!

Randomly, it’s a few hundred gold coins!

Don't think that a few hundred gold coins is an ordinary concept. Su Qiubai had learned from Tiangong before that one gold coin here can be exchanged for a thousand coins, and one coin can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins!

The price of the thing Liz wanted was only one coin, but it made Tiangong and his family frown. You can imagine what it means when anything here is worth hundreds of gold coins!

After looking at it and remembering that he was a pauper, Su Qiubai went straight to the counter in front.

"Hello, I want to pawn something."

While talking, Su Qiubai had already taken out his jade pendants.

These things are not ordinary on earth. They are all valuable antiques. It is precisely because of this that he has the idea of ​​​​trying to come to this pawn shop to have a look, thinking about how much money he can exchange.

As a result, the receptionist opposite was quite happy at first, but after seeing some jade pendants, his eyes were full of disdain and impatience.

"Fifty copper coins."

Throwing these words coldly, the receptionist didn't even look at Su Qiubai. She turned around and went about her own business.

The veteran driver had an incredible feeling.

It's only worth fifty copper coins... not even as good as trash!

Suddenly feeling a little depressed, and not knowing what to do...Su Qiubai suddenly saw something in the most conspicuous position of the entire store.

It seemed familiar, so he took a few steps closer and looked at it carefully.

First, the price surprised him. A seemingly ordinary bead was actually worth... one hundred thousand gold coins!

Obviously, this is the most precious thing in this store, so it has such a price.

However, there was another reason that made Su Qiubai open his mouth...because he had recognized this thing.

The reason why he knew it was because he had seen this thing before.

Not only have I seen it before, but right now there is a sack full of sacks in the trunk of Hiro's scrapped car...
