Chapter 17 Slums

Before traveling through time, Renn had never seen a slum.

But he knew information about this place from many film and television works and even animations.

The slums are full of chaotic groups who are struggling on the verge of death and at the lowest end of the class. Sometimes they will do anything to survive.

Coupled with the description given by the car dealership attendant just now, it is natural to be cautious.

All he had to do was find a poor car dealer as soon as possible, rent a car that was willing to go near the Warcraft Forest, and leave as soon as possible.

Although I was mentally prepared for the chaos in the slums, I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in the east of the city and stepped into this area, I found someone following me furtively.

When these poor people see unfamiliar faces, their eyes are focused on them, and there is a lack of kindness in their eyes.

Renn ignored the people who followed him furtively for the time being.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, the man suddenly accelerated his speed and wanted to collide with him.

The opponent is just an ordinary person, a thin man who lacks nutrition and is probably hungry all the time. With Ren's agility attribute far exceeding that of ordinary people, of course he will not be able to do what he wants.

The moment the opponent approached, Ren suddenly turned around, grabbed his arm with lightning speed, and twisted him to force him to kneel on the ground.

This man obviously wanted to steal the money bag hanging from Ren's waist, but he was looking for the wrong target.

When Ren twisted his hand and held him down, the other person screamed in pain and shouted: "I'm hitting someone! Help!"

Ren looked around and found that the poor people on the roadside who had seen the whole process were very numb and had no reaction to it. They were probably used to it.

However, a number of people with unkind expressions appeared from nearby and gradually surrounded them. They should be the thief's accomplices.

I didn't expect to encounter trouble as soon as I entered the slum. Fortunately, the people who surrounded me were all thin and poor people, so there was basically no threat.

There were eleven accomplices of the thief, and they surrounded Ren.

The opponent took the initiative to attack and swarmed forward.

Renn quickly let go of the thief, and with his extremely fast speed and strength far beyond ordinary people, he launched a counterattack without hesitation.

In his opinion, the opponent's attacks were pitifully slow and not worth mentioning at all. He could easily avoid them every time and then grab the person and throw them away with force.

After a scuffle, twelve people, including the thief, were beaten to the ground and fell to the ground wailing.

A team like theirs only bullies ordinary people, and they are no match for more ruthless characters.

How effective can a person who has been hungry for a long time and weak in body be?

Renn beat the group of people to the ground, and the guards came. After asking about the situation, they were all handcuffed and taken away, and they warned Renn to pay attention to safety when walking in the slums.

Renn suspected that these guards appeared very early and deliberately waited until the battle was over before intervening. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that they appeared just after the battle.

It is even suspected that these poor people will be released soon after being arrested.

Of course, he doesn't care that much.

The identity of an adventurer was indeed much more convenient. The guards did not arrest him as a brawler, but gave him a few warnings and turned around and left.

Ren continued to search and finally came to a square where various carriages were parked.

There are no luxury carriages here, most of them are shabby flatbeds, and there are also some ordinary carriages that look very old and have changed hands.

The carriage was surrounded by thin and poor people. When they saw Ren appearing here, they immediately surrounded him like a swarm and invited him to ride in the carriage.

After all, there is no other option for a new person here than renting a carriage.

Many of the coachmen looked fierce, constantly looking at Ren's clothes and paying attention to his money bag.

Of course, Renn would not choose such a person. Although with his current physical fitness, it would be easy to deal with the poor if he was prepared, he did not want to have an accident on the road.

As an exile, I finally came to Storm City, and I didn’t want to be expelled or even serve a sentence again for killing a poor coachman. Even if the other party was a poor man, even if he fought back, Storm City officials would make a judgment between the local poor and the foreign exiles.

Time may not always favor you.

So Ren carefully screened and selected a little boy who was about the same age as himself. His eyes were quite clear, and he was too young to have the complex thoughts of other poor coachmen. Then the carriage had a roof, which barely met the requirements.

After he selected the little boy, the surrounding coachmen dispersed in disappointment.

The boy was very happy and said to Ren: "Brother, you are very discerning! It is absolutely safe to take my car and the fare is cheap. My name is Adam, what about you?"

"Ren!"

"Ren, let's go!" Adam led him to the carriage.

"You don't ask me where I'm going?" Renn boarded the dilapidated carriage and turned around to ask him.

"You can go anywhere!" Adam smiled, "I don't pick jobs. So where do you want to go?"

"Warcraft Forest!" Renn sat in the carriage.

"Then I can only send you to the outskirts of the forest," Adam was not surprised. "It will take less than two days to arrive. I will charge you 3 silver coins every day, six in total, and the end point is the gray forest path."

"Six silver coins? It's more expensive than a regular car dealer."

"Because the roads are dangerous, regular car dealers will not take risks!" Adam replied, "Most adventurers who go to the Warcraft Forest will rent a carriage here, and the price is the same."

"Okay! Just six, let's go quickly!" Ren said, "First go to Alma's restaurant in the north city, I have a mission. Then go to Pila's farm outside the city. Complete these two missions and go directly to the Warcraft Forest.

"

"No problem! I'm familiar with Alma's restaurant and Pila's farm." Adam also got on the carriage and sat down, holding the reins with his left hand and waving his whip with his right hand, controlling the carriage to set off.

The carriage left the poor man's carriage house and ran along the road under those fierce eyes.

Leaving the slums smoothly, Adam quickly took Ren to Alma's restaurant.

He got off the car and explained his purpose to the restaurant owner Alma, who immediately took him to the warehouse: "Your job is to help me tidy up the warehouse. It must be completed before the sun goes down. By the way, help me clean it up. I will only pay you if you pass the inspection!"

If I'm not satisfied with the result, I will complain to the Adventurers Association, so keep going! Don't let me down."

Ren walked into the warehouse and found that various cargo boxes were piled up in a mess. The floor was also dirty. It probably hadn't been cleaned in a month or two.

Ordinary people do need an afternoon or even longer to clean the warehouse, but it is very simple for him.

First step forward, put these cargo boxes into the virtual backpack, and carry them directly outside.

Then all the garbage in the warehouse is collected and placed in the virtual backpack. After it comes out, it is placed in the open space, and then the containers are moved back and coded in order. The virtual backpack can easily make the messy warehouse clean and tidy.

It took a total of ten minutes. After solving the problem, we invited the restaurant owner Alma.

Alma didn't believe it. No one had ever been able to clean it in such a short time. After inspecting it in person, her eyes widened and she couldn't understand.

Ren was very satisfied with his work. Although he didn't understand how the other party did it, he still paid the task bounty of 1 silver coin on the spot.

A salary of 100 yuan is actually quite high.
