Canghua City is not like Duke City. In Duke City, everyone can come and go freely, but it is different here in Canghua City. Unless they have a local household registration in Canghua City, if foreigners want to enter, they need to pay a fee.
It is an expensive entry fee. Although the entry fee is quite high, the outsiders who have come here can only grit their teeth and escape. After all, this is not a normal era, and there is no wilderness protected by the rebirth formation.
Once you stay for too long, your life will be at risk every minute. Compared with your life, the entrance fee is nothing!
In fact, except for the three cities directly controlled by Eternal Pavilion, the rest of the cities have this virtue. Hunters go hunting in the wild and cannot always wander around the city. Sometimes they run too far and just
They can find shelter in nearby cities, and the controllers of these cities take advantage of this to continuously harvest resources from hunters. This also leads to some hunters even losing money or even going bankrupt after starting hunting operations. These
Hunters who are forced to go bankrupt must either venture into the wild and hunt for a long time to pay off their debts, or they can only sell themselves to those nobles. As for what the consequences will be after selling to the nobles, it depends on those nobles.
In the mood!
Lin Zheng and the others saw a large group of bankrupt hunters outside the boundaries of Canghua City. These people could only use rudimentary equipment and became slaves driven by the nobles. Everything they gained from hunting would belong to the buyers.
Under their nobles, these nobles will take them to hunt in various places in the wild. Even if they run too far like the civilian hunters, they can also go to other cities to seek shelter at no cost. This is one of those nobles.
The agreement signed between them is to facilitate them to better stabilize and consolidate their position in this end of the world.
The person who controls these slave hunters is a young aristocratic young master, wearing bright equipment and accompanied by a gorgeous female companion. It doesn't look like he is going to hunt at all, but to go out for an outing!
Xiaohui rarely goes out and lacks a clear understanding of today's social environment. Now seeing this scene that only appeared in the ancient civilization era, she suddenly seemed quite surprised. She couldn't help but said to Lin Zheng: "Master! They
How can you treat those hunters like this? Is there no one in charge?!"
Hearing this, Wei Qingxuan, who was also very angry, sighed helplessly, and then said: "I can't control it, Uncle Master, those hunters have sold themselves, and now they are just slaves of those nobles. As masters
The nobles will not be punished no matter how they treat these slaves."
Xiaohui was shocked, "Isn't this the reverse of civilization?! It took human civilization so long to move from a slave society to a civilized era where everyone is free, and now it is going backwards?!"
After listening to Xiao Hui's words, Lin Zheng looked at the girl helplessly. He was so shocked by this little thing. It seemed that this girl had not understood the current society for a long time. Although she was focused on practicing
It is indeed a good thing, but it would be inappropriate to be completely disconnected from society because of this. As expected, you really have to take the girl out with you.
Immediately, Lin Zheng, who came back to his senses, patted Xiaohui on the head and said: "Due to the apocalyptic crisis, the previous social order has basically collapsed. The only way to temporarily rebuild from the collapsed social order is this.
It’s a deformed social order, but you don’t need to be so angry. This situation can’t last long. It won’t be long before the world returns to the order you were familiar with.”
After giving Lin Zheng such comfort, Xiaohui's mood calmed down a little, and then she asked: "Master, how long do we have to wait?"
"This master can't give you an accurate answer!" Lin Zheng said with a smile, "But if you want society to return to its original state, you must at least find all the ways of heaven first."
"Then we have to hurry up and find the remaining fragments!" Xiaohui said very seriously. She hated this abnormal social form in front of her. People are people and should not be treated like livestock. In Xiaohui's opinion
, this is the most basic bottom line for a person, but now, this bottom line has long been trampled without a trace.
"Let's go! Let's go in!" Wei Qingxuan sighed, "There are too many people like those people in the world now. We can't help them at all. There is no point in looking at them anymore."
Lin Zheng nodded, then he held Fu Huan in one hand and Xiao Hui in the other, and strode towards the toll station in Canghua City. Although Xiao Hui was a little reluctant, she had to be pulled by Lin Zheng obediently.
Walk.
However, their combination is too special! A big man and three girls, one of whom is even sleeping. Such a combination dares to act in the wild. It is too weird, and it will inevitably make people come in and out of Canghua for a while.
The people in the city looked at them a few times.
The young nobleman responsible for managing the population entering and exiting Canghua City stared at Lin Zheng and the others with suspicion. Because Lin Zheng and the others did not have identification signals from Canghua City, he could be sure that Lin Zheng and the others were not residents of Canghua City.
The nearest city to Canghua City is nearly two hundred kilometers away. Such a long distance in the wild, and the road is full of dangers. How on earth did such a strange combination travel such a distance?!
"Hey! Hey!" Wei Qingxuan called out several times, and finally the administrator came to her senses. Then she said impatiently: "The four of us are going to the city, how much do you think it will cost in total?"
Money.”
Hearing Wei Qingxuan's words, the administrator who came back to his senses showed a friendly smile and said: "Okay, madam, I will serve you!" The reason why the administrator is so friendly is that he still has something wrong with him.
I always feel that these four people are very extraordinary, especially the only man among them! After working in this kind of place for a long time, this little nobleman still has the ability to judge people. Who can and cannot be provoked, in his heart
Men Qing, although the people who would take the initiative to pay the fee are definitely not nobles from other cities, there are some powerful psychics that he, a small noble, cannot afford to offend.
"I still don't know which city they are from? We need to register here."
Hearing the words of the senior administrator, Wei Qingxuan subconsciously wanted to answer, but Lin Zheng said first: "Sohar City."
Although Wei Qingxuan and Xiaohui were a little curious about why Lin Zheng wanted to conceal their origins, they did not express any opinions and just stood quietly beside Lin Zheng.
The administrator was not surprised when he heard that they were from Suhar City. Suhar City is the closest city to Canghua City. Among the hunters who usually come to Canghua City, the most people from Suhar City are
. But I am a little curious. When did such an outstanding hunter appear in Sohar City? Being able to take three women across the two cities is impossible without any hard power.
.
Soon, the administrator calculated the entry fee clearly, and immediately ignored any curiosity and said with a smile: "Total 46984 for four people!"
"Why is there still a change in this?"
Hearing Xiaohui's question, the administrator smiled and said: "This lady should go out less often, right? The entrance fee to the city is not fixed and will fluctuate to a certain extent. Today's entrance fee to Canghua City is this price
.”
Lin Zheng frowned slightly. Although he had known for a long time that the city entry fee was quite expensive, the amount still surprised him. According to the description in the novel, a low-level commoner, if he did not leave the city, would spend a month
Only two thousand yuan is enough to live a normal life, and the entry fee for one person alone costs more than ten thousand yuan. This kind of thing is worse than robbery!
While Lin Zheng was thinking about it, Wei Qingxuan had already taken out five metal cards and handed them to the administrator, and said, "Just give me three thousand, I'm too lazy to bring change."
"Okay, Miss, I'll charge you 50,000, and I'll give you 3,000!" After saying that, the administrator found three metal cards of different colors and handed them to Wei Qingxuan, and then smiled politely and said: "Everyone, please come in.
Welcome to Canghua City!"
After nodding with the administrator, Lin Zheng and his group walked through the gate of Canghua City and officially entered Canghua City. On the way, Lin Zheng said with a little curiosity: "Xuanxuan, you just used
Where is the currency for payment? Bring some out and show me."
The novel does not specifically describe these currencies, but briefly describes them as apocalyptic currencies made of precious metals. Next, you will live in this era for a period of time, and you must understand the currencies of this era.
Wei Qingxuan did not hesitate, and immediately took out various metal currencies, handed them to Lin Zheng with a smile and said: "Here! These are all the types of currencies used in this era! The previous banknotes have been completely eliminated, and now everywhere
They only recognize this kind of metal currency."
Lin Zheng waved his hand, and all the currencies floated in front of him. The largest denomination was the one Wei Qingxuan used to pay just now. It was worth ten thousand and was a bright red metal. This red metal looked quite precious.
Generally, it is only used when making large transactions. Below is the currency that the administrator gave Wei Qingxuan. It is a silver metal, but it is not silver. It is worth one thousand. The currency below is five hundred, one thousand.
One hundred, fifty, ten, the smallest denomination is one yuan. Seeing this one yuan, Lin Zheng couldn't help but smile. This girl said that she was too lazy to bring change, so what is this one yuan?
"This is the money we are using now!" Xiaohui stared at the various currencies with curiosity, "Why do they have to be made of metal? Not everyone has storage tools, so it is inconvenient to carry them around!"
"There is no way, uncle!" Wei Qingxuan spread her hands, "In this era, banks are of no use at all and cannot develop. Only this kind of valuable metal can act as currency.
As for paper money, no one will accept it at all!”
While they were talking, the group of people officially entered the civilian area of Canghua City. Immediately, a vibrant atmosphere of the market came to their faces. People were coming and going, and it looked very lively.
