It was impossible for Wang Chen to temporarily hire a high-level golden elixir to be his guarantee, so he actually had no choice.
Since it was already dark, the Household Registration Department of Qianxingxian City in Yingxian Town only worked during the day, so after having dinner with Pei Yan, he planned to return to the rented place and wait until tomorrow to apply.
As a result, Wang Chen walked on the road for more than an hour.
Being in the same town, the way back is of course not far away, but Yingxian Town is more lively and lively at night than during the day, which delays Wang Chen's steps.
The bustling streets are full of people, the shops and pavilions on both sides of the road are all open, and obsidian lamps for lighting are hung under the eaves of each house. White, light yellow, orange, light pink, and faint purple lights reflect the scene.
A wonderful night market.
Taverns, Ji Pavilions, gambling houses, teahouses, music clubs, bathhouses...
Full of human fireworks!
What Wang Chen didn't expect was that there was actually a barbecue here.
These barbecue stalls were almost exactly the same as those in his previous life. There was a charcoal fire in the barbecue tank, and a metal grid was placed on it. The stall owner skillfully placed various ingredients interspersed with skewers on them, and they were flipping and baking.
sauce.
There are tables, chairs and benches next to the barbecue stall. Diners can take away the skewers directly, or they can sit down and order two cups of bamboo tube rice wine to brag and eat together!
When Wang Chen first saw this scene, he almost suspected that he had traveled back in time again!
He couldn't help but stop in front of a barbecue stall and spent dozens of spirit stones to order a large handful of fragrant barbecue skewers.
Then he squatted on the roadside and played skewers.
Just to experience that feeling that I have always dreamed of.
pity……
No cumin.
In addition to barbecue stalls, there is also an open-air free market in the town.
Anyone who pays a fee can set up a stall in the market to sell and exchange various items.
Wang Chen walked around inside.
Although I didn’t buy anything, I still felt relaxed and happy that I hadn’t seen for a long time!
As a result, it was very late when he returned to the rental house.
But it was also in time before the curfew, and the time was right.
That night, Wang Chen slept soundly.
When he woke up the next morning, Ziling brought him breakfast.
A large bowl of perfectly cooked spirit rice porridge, two spiced spirit poultry eggs, and three-color pickled vegetables made Wang Chen feel that the rent for twenty spirits a day was really not expensive.
The landlady was obviously proficient in cooking, and Wang Chen completely destroyed the breakfast and was still not satisfied.
Just after breakfast, Pei Yan came.
The young man took Wang Chen to the residence of the Household Registration Department of Qianxingxian City in Yingxian Town.
What made Wang Chen speechless was that he arrived early, and the office had not yet started handling business. As a result, there was already a sea of people inside, with heads everywhere at a glance!
Then Pei Yan helped him get a queue number, and the number was over 500!
This will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!
Pei Yan was very embarrassed: "I forgot to tell you, there are many people here every day."
If you want to get the front number plate, you have to come early in the morning and queue up.
And even if you receive a license plate, if the person in front of you has not completed it, all the subsequent ones will be invalid.
You have to come over tomorrow to continue queuing.
Just when Wang Chen was depressed, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man came over and asked in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to change your number plate?"
He opened his palm and shook it at Wang Chen, with a number plate attached to his palm.
The number is nineteen.
Scalpers!
Wang Chen was dumbfounded in his heart, and asked calmly on the surface: "How many spirit stones do you want?"
The other party looked at him, then stretched out his left hand, spread his fingers and shook it.
Five yuan? Fifty? It can’t be five hundred!
Wang Chen didn't understand the market at all, so he didn't respond directly, but looked at Pei Yan aside.
The boy did not disappoint him and immediately stepped forward: "Uncle, you have found the wrong person. We cannot do this kind of business."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "You are a boy from the Pei family in Zhenxitou, right? Well, for your father's sake, I will give you a hundred spiritual stones in exchange, no matter how much less."
Pei Yan scratched his head and looked at Wang Chen, meaning to let him make his own decision.
The asking price just now turned out to be five hundred spirit stones!
It’s really as black as a chrysanthemum!
As a result, Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, and Pei Yan mustered up the courage to bargain with the other party: "Eighty!"
The middle-aged man glared at him, turned around and got into the crowd.
The business has gone bad.
Now Pei Yan really scratched his head and said with shame: "Shangxiu, I'm sorry..."
"fine."
Wang Chen patted his head and said with a smile, "We'll wait a little longer."
Scalpers always come in groups, there can never be just one.
The most important thing is that through this small episode, he got a glimpse of a major feature of Qianxing Immortal City.
The city of merchants is truly worthy of its name!
Wang Chen didn't wait long, because the middle-aged man just now came back again.
"Eighty is eighty!"
So Wang Chen exchanged eighty spirits for a scalper's ticket, and exchanged his own number plate for the other party's.
His ranking instantly rose from over 500 to No. 19!
As soon as the two of them finished the transaction, numbers started to be called inside the house.
Wang Chen understood why the other party was willing to lower the price. If no one exchanged it with him, the number plate would be useless.
After switching to the front number plate, Wang Chen didn't have to wait long.
When his number was called inside, he squeezed in and showed his number plate to the monk who was maintaining order at the scene. Wang Chen was led to a small room.
The person handling business for him was a household official.
When the official understood Wang Chen's situation and needs, he smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, our Qianxing Immortal City recruits talented people from all over the world. We very much welcome talented colleagues like you."
After a pause, he continued: "But rules are rules, and no one can break them easily. Please forgive me."
The rule of Thousand Stars Immortal City is - Lingshi!
For monks like Wang Chen who need to transfer their membership, as long as they apply, unless they have serious misdeeds in the past, they will basically pass the review.
But you need to pay a fee.
This also involves the household registration system of Qianxing Immortal City.
The citizens of Qianxing Immortal City are divided into four grades: A, B, C and D. Among them, the lowest grade D citizens can freely enter and exit the fairy city, as well as buy and sell various supplies in the city, but they do not have the right to reside or work.
The townspeople in Yingxian Town are basically Ding and others.
Citizens of the upper level C class can live and work in the fairy city, but they are not qualified to purchase properties or open shops!
In other words, if you want to live in the city, you can only rent a house or stay in an inn.
The second-class city citizens do not have these restrictions and belong to the true people of a thousand stars.
As for the highest-level A-class city citizens, they have the qualifications to enter the system, that is, to be officials!
