Chapter 935 Getting Rich (Second Super Long Chapter, Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 935 Getting Rich (Second Super Big Chapter, Monthly Ticket +)
Not long after, Qilu finished the radar scanning detection of the entire western district of the royal city.
It converted the data into a visible map and sent it to Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Qilu explained in a childish voice: "Master, this western district is obviously a commercial district."
"And it is a relatively backward commercial district."
"Because there are no large integrated shopping mall buildings and no places for large-scale trading of materials."
"There is no large data management system that performs overall supervision and monitoring functions."
"There are only small shops, the highest of which is less than two floors."
"It's like the most backward free trade market for barter in the Beichen galaxy."
"Master, this place is the shop of Xiao Mo's father, Lao Mo."
Qilu marked a place with a red line.
Xia Chujian only saw a meat stall built in front of a row of low houses along the street.
In the visual picture converted from the radar data, you can still see pieces of meat hanging on the stall.
Xia Chujian thought, so this is Lao Mo's butcher shop, Lao Mo is a meat vendor.
Based on Xia Chujian's experience of reading online novels, people like butchers in butcher shops may not look prominent, but in fact they are from wealthy families and have their own abilities.
Otherwise, they can't run this stall in the market.
In addition, she knew that Lao Mo had another identity, that he was an insider of the rebel army, so she was not surprised.
Qilu said, "Master, are we going to find Lao Mo?"
Xia Chujian thought about it and said, "Go, we are unfamiliar with this place, and we still need Lao Mo's help."
As she lowered the altitude, she looked at the map on the eyepiece display and said, "Qilu, let's go outside the city first and shoot a few wild rabbits."
Qilu didn't understand, but still followed Xia Chujian's instructions and used the radar system to search for wild animals on the grass outside the royal city.
Soon, it found the traces of two or three wild rabbits and sent them to Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Xia Chujian quickly leaped from the air, picked up a few branches from the ground, cut them into the shape of arrows, and threw them over.
This was an arrow controlled by a mecha, and it had the power of a crossbow when thrown casually.
The two or three fat hares fell to the ground instantly.
Xia Chujian did not just shoot the hares' eyes this time.
She shot the back of the hares' heads.
They were all killed with one arrow, but the fur on the back of the hares' heads was also damaged.
This archery skill was not as exquisite as she had shown before.
There was no need.
Xia Chujian then flew back to the vicinity of the royal city and said, "Qilu, help me find a very hidden place outside the royal city so that I can show up quietly."
Based on the city wall, the royal city also has an inner city and an outer city.
The outer city of the royal city cannot actually be called a city.
It's just that some people can't afford to live in the royal city, so they built some places that look like illegal buildings under the city wall outside the royal city and live there.
And these "illegal buildings" are only outside the west city wall.
Outside the North District, East District and South District, the area was fortified and cleared, without any "illegal buildings".
Qilu quickly found a dead end for Xia Chujian in the outer city in the west.
Xia Chujian was very satisfied.
She quickly fell from the sky and landed in the dead end.
Then she asked Qilu to detect the surroundings and confirm that there was no surveillance or surveillance. She quickly put away the Shao Siming black and silver mecha on her body.
Then she switched the inner armor to a pendant.
She only wore the one-piece military uniform on the outside.
The military uniform had been "modified" by her with grass juice, and it looked like inferior coarse cloth, which was about 70% similar to the clothes worn by the girls here.
She held a crossbow in her hand and a quiver on her back, which contained several crossbow arrows.
In the other hand, there were three fat hares strung together with a rope.
In front of the gate of the West District wall, there was a long queue.
There was a checkpoint right below the gate.
Someone was inside the checkpoint, checking everyone who wanted to enter the West District.
Xia Chujian didn't care, and joined the queue with three fat hares that had just been killed.
She could see clearly in midair that those who wanted to enter only had to pay a small handling fee.
Although she didn't have the currency here, she had hard currency - prey!
In a place where barter is practiced, hares must be the best exchange item.
She stood patiently in the crowd, watching the queue in front of her shorten little by little.
Half an hour later, it was her turn to enter the small black room at the checkpoint.
After entering, Xia Chujian directly put a hare on the other party's table, while gesturing with gestures that she wanted to enter the city, and this hare would be the entrance fee.
The other party was stunned for a while when he found out that she was a mute.
After she finished gesturing, the man nodded and said, "Are you going to enter the city?"
Xia Chujian nodded.
The man frowned: "A mute can still understand what people say, aren't you born a mute?"
A mute born can't learn to speak, and of course can't understand what others are saying.
Only a mute formed later in life can understand what the other party is saying.
Xia Chujian shook her head and gestured to describe her fabricated life story.
For example, both her parents died, she was an orphan, she had a fever and no one took care of her, and after the fever subsided, she could not speak, etc.
Her fabrication was quite convincing, and the man felt a little sympathetic.
Later, the man threw the hare she had thrown on the table as an entry fee back to her and issued her an entry permit.
…
Xia Chujian carried three hares and held the small jade token in his hand, and walked out from the other side of the level in a daze.
This is within the city gate.
She has already entered the western part of the royal city.
Moreover, she didn't pay any price, she just pretended to be a mute girl who was born in a lonely life, and won the man's sympathy.
Not only did they not ask her to use the hare as entry fee, they also issued her an entry order.
Things went more smoothly than she expected.
Xia Chujian actually felt a little uncomfortable.
How could it go so smoothly?
Xia Chujian looked down at herself.
This modified one-piece military uniform is no longer in camouflage color, but in a slightly dirty coarse yellow color, which is not much different from the ordinary people who enter the city.
Is this the reason?
Xia Chujian stood at the entrance to the west area of the royal city with three plump hares in one hand and a city entry order in the other, looking around curiously.
Her Shao Si Ming black silver mecha is now stored in the Bianhua necklace around her neck, so there is no Qi Lu coming out to show her the way.
She had to rely on herself to find the butcher shop where Xiao Mo's father, Lao Mo, worked.
She recalled the three-dimensional map of the West District that she had seen on the eyepiece display before, compared it with the landmark buildings where she was now, and quickly locked the direction.
She needed to go forward three streets to reach the block where Lao Mo was.
The West District is indeed a business district.
The buildings here do not have a unified style and look varied, but they all particularly meet the needs of the operators.
The floors are not high, they are all two-story low-rise buildings, but the construction quality is obviously much better than that of the villages outside.
The streets are wide and two-way, and four carriages can often be seen traveling in each other's direction.
The crowds were huge and crowded.
Pedestrians here include the same ordinary and old-fashioned clothes as Xia Chujian, there are also rich people wearing silk and satin, and there are even people wearing various kinds of military uniforms with a sense of technology.
People wearing military uniforms are divided into natural people and robots.
Xia Chujian now realized the inconvenience of humanoid robots.
It is too easy to be confused with natural people.
She actually doesn't know whether the Beichen Empire's ban on robots that resemble humanoid shapes is good or bad, but she can now understand the internal logic.
The shops on both sides of the street display a variety of products, which are so dazzling that it is almost dizzying to see.
She could recognize some of the products, but she had no idea what they were for and could only look at them as novelties.
After walking along the bustling crowd for a while, Xia Chujian crossed three streets and finally saw Lao Mo's father's butcher shop.
Because in the whole street, his butcher shop stood out.
Literally bulging.
His butcher's stall is about ten centimeters further forward than other shops.
The ten centimeters are not noticeable at first glance, but when hung with various meats of different colors, it becomes very eye-catching.
Xia Chujian stood not far from the butcher shop and watched quietly for a while.
There is a curtain hanging above the butcher shop, with the words "Old Mo Butcher Shop" written on it.
Under the butcher shop, several people were queuing up, looking to buy meat.
The person currently trading with Lao Mo was a robot soldier in military uniform.
His voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, and his accent was steady and almost without ups and downs.
To Xia Chu's ears, this is a proper electronic synthesized sound, but it is much less emotional than the electronic synthesized sounds of Xiao Fei and Qi Lu.
There was no expression on the face of the robot soldier, which matched perfectly with the smooth electronic synthesized sound, and it didn't even feel like it was inconsistent.
Xia Chu saw it with great interest.
The robot soldier looked at the meat handed over by Old Mo, picked it up with his hands, weighed it, and said calmly: "Old Mo, you stole the meat again."
Old Mo chuckled, chopped on the chopping board with a short and wide meat cleaver, cut off a long and slender piece of meat, handed it to the robot soldier, and said, "What are you talking about, sir! Our small business depends on it." That’s the word “honesty”!
"But since the adults have said it, the villain will admit it. This is a compensation for the adults, is it okay now?"
The robot soldier glanced at Old Mo, as if he was feeling the weight of the slender strip of meat.
After a while, he nodded, handed Lao Mo a few coins, and turned to leave.
After the robot soldier left, there was a middle-aged woman wearing a double-breasted coat and loose coarse trousers.
She counted a few coins to Lao Mo and said dissatisfiedly: "Old Mo, the meat you sold me last time was one cent and eight cents short!"
"You must make it up to me this time!"
Lao Mo still laughed and said: "Aunt Cen, where can you get so much as one penny and eight cents?! At most one penny and two cents!"
"Well, this time I, Lao Mo, will give you one cent and five cents! Is that enough?"
The middle-aged woman called Aunt Cen smiled happily: "That's pretty much it!"
What she bought was a piece of blackened meat.
It's not that it's not fresh, it's just that the original color of the meat tends to be black.
Xia Chujian looked at the fat rabbit in his hand and finally stepped forward.
She did not go to the back of the line to queue up, but came directly to the front, raised the fat hare in her hand to Old Mo, gestured, and asked him if he would accept the game.
Old Mo turned around and looked over, and was stunned for a moment when he saw it was Xia Chujian.
However, the expression on his face did not change. He still maintained the half-honest and half-sly smile as he said, "Yo! It's our girl here!"
"Quick! Go inside and rest for a while! Why did you bring the hare?"
Xia Chujian carried three plump hares and gestured at the meat hanging on the old Mo meat shop, indicating that it was for sale to him.
Lao Mo was still saying: "Girl, this is the prey you hunted. You can't sell it to Lao Mo!"
"Let's go back and dismantle this rabbit. Three rabbit skins can be used to make a leather vest for you to wear in winter!"
Xia Chujian shook his head, as if he was determined to sell it to Lao Mo.
Behind the butcher shop, a person was queuing up. He was wearing a military uniform, but he was not a robot soldier, but a natural person. It was the regiment commander named Qin that Xia Chujian had seen before on the city wall.
He looked at the back of the team with his hands behind his hands for a while, then suddenly came over, stood next to Xia Chujian, looked up at the hare she was holding, and asked, "Did you hit this?"
Xia Chujian blinked and looked at the commander of the Qin Army in confusion, then at Lao Mo.
Lao Mo's smiling and careless look suddenly disappeared.
His fat waist suddenly bent down, he nodded and bowed to the commander of the Qin Army and said: "The commander of the Qin Army is here to visit, and the little butcher shop is full of glory!"
"Do you want to buy meat, or do you have meat to ship?"
The commander of the Qin Army smiled and said, "Old Mo, you don't need to be careless. I just want to ask, was this girl from your family the one who shot these three hares?"
Lao Mo subconsciously looked at Xia Chujian.
He didn't dare to answer this randomly.
Although he felt that it was most likely the girl who hit her, but what if the girl didn't want to admit it?
He didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter and son-in-law's benefactor.
Xia Chujian also turned to look at the regiment commander named Qin, and nodded solemnly, with a proud look on his face, which seemed a bit childish.
Lao Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl is quirky and can act...
The commander of the Qin Army laughed and said very gently: "How old is this girl? Her archery skills are really superb."
Xia Chujian looked at the three hares and thought, is this amazing?
She shot all over the back of the head and stopped shooting in the eyes.
The control of precision and strength has reached a new level.
That's it, is it still amazing?
Does the commander of the Qin Army have relatively low standards for archers, or is he deliberately fishing for law enforcement?
Xia Chujian thought this, but his face showed an arrogant look of "Who else would it be?"
The only thing missing is the words "I am a sharp archer" written on his face.
He looked like he had never seen the world.
The commander of the Qin Army felt that he was worrying too much.
He said to Lao Mo: "Are these three rabbits for sale? I think they are quite fat. I will buy them back as a tooth sacrifice for my brothers."
Lao Mo quickly looked at Xia Chujian and said with a smile: "Girl, why don't we sell this rabbit?"
"These three rabbits are favored by the commander of the Qin Army. They are lucky!"
"The commander of the Qin Army will not treat them badly!"
"Exchange some coins and I'll buy you a fur coat!"
He had previously said that he would skin the hare and make a rabbit skin vest for Xia Chujian.
Now that it's for sale, I'll change my mind and say I'm going to buy it.
He is also able to adapt to changing circumstances.
Xia Chujian nodded and generously handed the three hares to the commander of the Qin Army.
The commander of the Qin Army originally wanted Lao Mo to weigh it before giving him money.
Unexpectedly, the girl handed the hare to him directly, as if you were looking at it.
At the market, everyone around them looked over curiously. Even people who didn't buy meat slowly gathered around, just to watch the excitement up close.
The commander of the Qin Army stopped lingering. He took out a relatively large silver coin from the pocket of his military uniform, threw it to Lao Mo, and said, "Don't look for it. This money is enough to buy three wild boars."
After saying that, he took the three hares and left.
Lao Mo took the big silver coin, held it with his fingers, and blew on it with his mouth.
When the silver coin was turning rapidly on his fingernails, he put the silver coin to his ear again and listened to the sound.
Xia Chujian didn't know what Lao Mo meant by doing this, but he speculated that he was trying to verify the authenticity of the silver coin?
Xia Chujian didn't think that the commander of the Qin Army would give fake money, but she didn't actually know him, so she couldn't be sure...
Lao Mo's caution is still needed.
But Lao Mo was actually doing a whole show.
He was stalling for time by doing this.
When the commander of the Qin Army disappeared and the looming sights around him disappeared, he grinned at Xia Chujian, threw the silver coin to her, and said, "Go sit in the house for a while, and wait for me to sell it." Finish the meat."
Xia Chujian didn't want to hide in the house as soon as he came.
She wanted to know more about this world, this place.
She waved her hand, and then gestured that she could count and collect money for Lao Mo.
Lao Mo: "..."
This girl is nothing out of the ordinary.
Can outsiders do this kind of thing?
Otherwise, if the business of his old Mo butcher shop was so good, he would rather hire a few short-term workers to help him pack the meat instead of letting anyone touch his money box.
But Xia Chu met was different.
Lao Mo knew that this was his daughter and son-in-law's savior, not an ordinary outsider.
And she had already met the commander of the Qin Army just now, so there was really no need to hide.
So he nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, girl. There is the money box over there. You can see for yourself."
"There are five boxes in total. In terms of size, the largest is the silver coin, followed by the copper coin, then the iron coin, and the smallest is the tin coin."
"A small silver coin is worth one hundred copper coins. A copper coin is worth one hundred iron coins."
"And an iron coin is worth one thousand tin coins!"
"Don't mix up the last one."
"We use more tin coins for small business every day."
"These meats are all domestic grass-fed pork. The best ones are one iron coin per catty."
"The medium ones are one hundred tin coins per catty."
"The low-quality ones are ten tin coins per catty."
"Just now, the commander Qin gave you a silver coin, which is a medium-sized silver coin."
"Do you think it is twice as big as the silver coin in my money box?"
"Such a medium-sized silver coin is worth one hundred small silver coins!"
"Girl, you just entered the city today and you made a fortune!"
Xia Chujian didn't know how much a medium-sized silver coin was worth, but she remembered the conversion ratio.
This is the second super long chapter, including March monthly tickets of 300 and 600+.
There will be a new update at 5:00 pm!
