Chapter 207 Black Forest Village, thatched house
"Fortunately it's not a secret realm, otherwise I'd be in trouble again." Lu Xingshi muttered softly.
After he first inquired about the time, he hurried over to get the corresponding magic weapon of "Zi Wei Dou Shu".
The good news is that he no longer has to enter the secret realm. He has just come out not long ago. If he does go in again, he may get liver disease again, and he doesn't want to work so hard.
The main reason is that the price-performance ratio is not high. For him, the most cost-effective thing about the secret realm is to gain control of the secret realm. He can grab all other secret realm rewards.
For example, if the magic weapon is given as a reward, he can kill the owner of the magic weapon and then get the magic weapon.
It's not like the control of the secret realm involves his size. If he can't borrow it from other people's hands, he won't borrow it.
If gold coins are Lu Xingshi's health, then the controllable secret realm is his upgrade medicine. Lu Xingshi will definitely not give these to others.
"But now there is a very serious problem, that is, has the thing been taken away?" Lu Xingshi was a little bit confused.
There is a village here. Judging from its size, people should have settled there a long time ago, but Lu Xingshi is a latecomer.
So Lu Xingshi really couldn't find the specific location.
It is said to be a village, but most of the people here are Jianghu people, herb gatherers, hunters, businessmen and the like, who use this place as a temporary residence and trading place.
As for the people who actually live here, there aren't many.
Under the great abyss, although there is sunlight shining down, it is still dark and damp. After all, it is at the bottom.
Therefore, you will always feel uncomfortable after living here for a long time, but working here is indeed very profitable, so there will always be people who give up a suitable environment.
Furthermore, life in Dasong is not easy now. Although it is difficult to live under the Great Abyss, it is not life-threatening.
Lu Xingshi was also curious about why no one went to the opposite area along the bottom of the great abyss. After asking around, he found out that it was impossible to climb over.
The opposite side is not like the side of Dasong, where there are some gaps and you can enter underneath, but it is almost 90 degrees. In addition, it is high in height and there is poisonous miasma. Basically, few people who go there can come back. , even if there are those who come back, they either give up voluntarily, or they only have half a life left.
Maybe someone has left, but it is easy to leave, but it is not so easy to come back.
It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down, let alone climbing down a 90-degree cliff.
Lu Xingshi entered this village. It was more like a large market for medicinal materials and furs. Many merchants came and went here. He even saw the shops of his own Langya Chamber of Commerce, which were also chain shops, buying local specialties here.
That's right, it's an acquisition.
You definitely can't sell paper, books and the like here, who wants these things?
The people here are all people who come to make a living, and most of them are from the lower class. Whether they can read or not is the same thing. If you have money, buying some meat to take back to your wife and children is far better than buying such luxuries.
Lu Xingshi did not choose to go to the Langya Chamber of Commerce. He had disguised his appearance and traveled in a low-key manner.
He temporarily threw Wang Cai and Zhu Yan into his farm, leaving them alone.
He did this when he saw it was a village. If it was in the wilderness, Lu Xingshi would let them search together. Unfortunately, there were people there, so it was not suitable to be too high-profile.
He even disguised himself in disguise so that no one would recognize him.
Otherwise, if such a big shot like him comes here, he will definitely arouse suspicion, and then a large number of people will flock here, which will increase the difficulty for him in vain.
Go to Yahang first and rent a yard to live in first.
"New here?" The shopkeeper of Yahang looked Lu Xingshi up and down.
"Yes, can't we rent it?" Lu Xingshi asked back.
"No." The other party's answer was beyond Lu Xingshi's expectation.
"What should I say?" Lu Xingshi asked directly what was going on.
"You can also see the situation in our Heilin Village. At least 10% of the medicinal materials and furs in the entire Dasong are flowing out from us."
"So if you want to buy or rent a yard in the village, you must either be a powerful person or a wealthy businessman."
"A single person like you can only choose a single house. Of course, if you are a certain force who comes to settle in, you will need to undergo an assessment. Only if you meet the standards in our village." The shopkeeper of Yahang said.
Lu Xingshi was speechless after hearing this. This was bragging and arrogant. It was just a small village.
At least 10% of Dasong's medicinal materials and furs flowed out from here. Lu Xingshi didn't believe this statement alone.
The bottom of the Great Abyss is indeed rich in products, but no matter how you say it, it involves transportation problems. Transportation costs can limit these. If it is said that the fur of rare and precious medicinal materials accounts for 10%, then Lu Xingshi still believes it. If you say it all, it is really true. The sects and wealthy families from all over the world are dead, so they don’t involve in this kind of marketing?
People at the bottom of the Great Abyss are engaged in collecting, while others are directly engaged in planting.
Furthermore, there is not only Heilin Village under the entire Great Abyss, but there are at least 180 similar villages densely packed together.
Therefore, Lu Xingshi suspected that the other party was using this method to indirectly collect intelligence and monitor the flow of people in the village and other related matters.
As soon as the other party comes, they will ask for details. If their status is not enough, they may not know what will happen next. Murder and seizing wealth are common occurrences under the Great Abyss, and there is no court jurisdiction here.
"A single house is a single house." Lu Xingshi didn't care much about his living environment.
"One tael a day, starting from thirty days, if less than thirty days, you have to pay thirty days." The shopkeeper of Yahang said with a smile.
Lu Xingshi was also a little bit confused, this must be a black shop for you guys.
Just a small hut, and he dared to ask for thirty taels.
Of course he has seen the so-called single room, which is only about five square meters. It can't be smaller.
"Farewell." Lu Xingshi cupped his hands, turned around and left.
Lu Xingshi could tell from the other party's expression that the other party wanted to kill him, so he gave up without hesitation.
If you really give money, you will not be safe in the future, but will be targeted. It is not a lie to keep your wealth secret.
There must be something wrong with the price. If it were so expensive, how could herb collectors and hunters live here?
Thirty taels a month, whether these people can earn it by working for a month is one thing.
Do you really think that precious medicinal materials are so easy to pick? It's true that they are rich, but it's impossible to pick them up just by bending down. You must risk your life, but in the end you just want them to work in vain?
There is no shortage of camps like yours. Once all these people are gone, no merchants will be willing to come, and business will plummet.
"Hey, hey, don't leave, twenty-five taels a month, fifteen taels, five taels is fine, the minimum is one or two." When the other party saw that Lu Xingshi was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted.
Leaving without hesitation meant that he lost a commission.
Of course, if he could trick Lu Xingshi into making money, he would definitely make money.
"A hundred literary works will do. If it doesn't work, I'll change the village." Lu Xingshi turned around and added this sentence.
The shopkeeper of Yahang turned green, how could you find the price so accurately? You must have inquired about it a long time ago.
"Come here and pay." The owner of Yahang said through gritted teeth. In this case, he would not make a penny.
Naturally, Lu Xingshi didn't ask about it. He just casually mentioned a number based on the market price. Although one hundred Wen is also expensive, it makes sense that it is expensive here. The transportation cost alone is enough to increase the corresponding price. Rare things are more expensive. It's good to have a relatively safe place to stay.
In the stockade, one only has to guard against certain people's evil intentions, but in other places, one has to face not only threats from humans, but also threats from wild beasts, which is naturally more difficult.
"No. 75, Lane Ding, Yi Street, East District." The shopkeeper of Yahang threw a key to him and gave him the address.
But Lu Xingshi smiled. As for that hut, the wind may not be able to block it, but it can block people.
If you really want to go in, you don't even have to go through the door.
After taking the key, he left directly.
He came in through formal channels, did not do anything bad or had any grudges, and was a low-key person, so he did not trigger the situation of being followed and robbed.
The shopkeeper of Yahang didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, giving him a shabby hut or a hut because of some disputes.
But a very normal hut.
The only furniture in the house...well, it's not actually furniture, but a pile of thatch. This thing is actually a bed. As for tables, chairs and benches, forget about that. They are only five square meters in total, so where can they fit it? These things, if put in a pile of thatch, already take up a lot of space.
"The nights in Dayuan are not as dark as those of you." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but sigh.
When he dominates the world in the future, he promises to clean up all the villages under the abyss and let all these people hang on street lamps, and the street lamps must illuminate their corpses very brightly.
Sitting on the thatched bed, Lu Xingshi was thinking about when the magic weapon would arrive at his door.
Or give him a chance to find the magic weapon.
With his current destiny attributes, he only needs to wait, not necessarily look for it, which is why he rents a place to live.
According to Lu Xingshi's guess, it could take as short as three to five days or as long as a month. He just arrived today and it is unlikely that he will meet him.
"Dong dong dong~"
Suddenly, a deafening sound of gongs sounded in the village, and then Lu Xingshi noticed a burst of chaos.
"What...what's going on?" Lu Xingshi was a little bit confused. Could it be that someone came to attack Heilin Village? No matter how fast it was, it wouldn't be that fast.
Just as Lu Xingshi was about to go out, he heard shouting from outside.
"Everyone, get in the house quickly. The blood bats are coming. Hide in the house quickly and close the doors and windows."
Someone shouted loudly, with urgency in their tone.
"Blood bat, what are you talking about?" Lu Xingshi had never heard of this animal. Besides, vampire bats were probably a niche type.
