Donghuafang City, one of the largest trading places in Xuzhou, is called Fang City. It actually covers an extremely large area, two times larger than Lu'an County where Milo originally worked.
The entire city has been divided into detailed divisions according to different functions.
For example, there are living areas for people to live in, restaurants and entertainment areas for leisure and entertainment, as well as dock warehouse areas, port berthing areas, etc.
In the area near the seaside of Fang City, a large number of ports have been established, with many sea ships coming and going, and an endless stream of caravans.
Milo watched as Lu Changchun drove the airship to a specific area for registration. There were a large number of flying instruments parked here, including monks' magic weapons and some businessmen's airships.
The former is similar to Lu Changchun's, and can be put away as soon as it lands, while the latter needs to be carried by others. As for mounts, there are special placement areas.
After Lu Changchun completed the registration, he handed the two identity certificates to Milo and Yangzhen and said, "You can take a stroll here by yourself, while I go to chat with an old friend. We will set off again in three days."
After saying that, Lu Changchun left on his own. Milo and Yangzhen looked at each other and walked out.
After walking for a while, Milo was surprised to find that in Donghuafang City, apart from the monks who came and went, there were many who only practiced simple Qi refining methods and martial arts, and had not even touched the threshold of foundation building.
of mortals.
Most of them help look after the store, or carry some heavy equipment, and some work as rickshaw pullers here.
The richer people were sitting on some government vehicles and shouted: "Donghuafang tourist agency vehicles can travel freely between the two major auction houses, the three major treasure appraisals, the four major commercial streets, and the six major transactions in Donghuafang City."
In this area, you only need to purchase one ticket and you can freely ride all the new Donghuafang sightseeing vehicles in the area within one day.”
Seeing Milo and Yangzhen, the young man sitting in the government car grinned and said: "Two Taoist priests, I think this is your first time coming to our Donghuafang City. Do you want to try our tourist agency?"
Cars? It’s the off-season for business now. We have different specifications of tourist agency cars such as double cars, single cars, multi-person cars, etc., as well as single-day tickets, three-day tickets, seven-day tickets and monthly tickets with several rental time limits.”
"All our tourist agencies have recorded the locations of the two major auction houses, the three major treasure appraisals, the four major commercial streets, and the six major trading areas. You can choose where to go according to your needs. If you are in a hurry
, we also have dedicated guides who can provide services. Compared with the normal price, the maximum price is less than 10%, which is very cost-effective.”
It was clear that the young man was just a mortal, but he didn't care about the identity of Brother Milo at all. He spoke very quickly, just like some salesmen in Milo's memory. He was a little funny, but also a little nostalgic, and looked at Taoist Yangzhen: "Brother, what do you think?
?”
"Just make the decision!"
Saying that, Yangzhen touched his head and said cheerfully: "Senior Sister said, let me listen to you more outside."
As he spoke, Yangzhen couldn't help but look at some of the monks patrolling around him. After seeing Yangzhen's gaze, they all nodded in welcome.
Milo also looked at it, and he could feel that at the moment they nodded, the bodies of all the monks around them who matched their aura, whether they were patrolling, resting, or managing the transportation of goods on the other side, were
There are some natural changes.
The amplitude of this change is very small, but it can better match the breath of the people around you, ensuring that you can provide support to your companions in the shortest time. It can also better match the breath of the earth veins and formations under your feet, silently.
Reveal some of the city's defense capabilities.
Milo withdrew his gaze, looked at the young man who was still smiling, and said: "How much is the price of a three-day ticket for a two-person car?"
The young man's eyes lit up and he said: "Three hundred standard spirit coins. What do you two plan to settle the bill with? Our Donghuafang Tourist Agency Car Service is a service unit directly under the leadership of Donghuafang City. It accepts pearls, spirit stones,
Most common currencies, including jade dew and talisman money, are also accepted as replacements for items such as talismans and magic weapons, as well as the internal merits of the six sense organs."
"But what I want to explain in advance is that apart from the internal merits of the six sense organs and common currencies, we can only grade and determine the price according to the vitality and spirituality contained in talismans, magic tools and materials. If you are not satisfied with our quotation
, you can go to the appraisal office nearby for an appraisal first..."
Before the young man finished speaking, Milo took out a few talisman coins and handed them to him.
The so-called talisman money is essentially a special kind of talisman written by monks. It can store mana or the vitality of heaven and earth for a long time. It can be used as a backup energy source and can be regarded as a substitute for spiritual stones.
The young man quickly took out an instrument blessed with the God of Wealth's Seal, the Emperor's Seal and the Six Official Seals, and checked the talisman money.
Then the young man bowed and said: "Thank you for your patronage. The talisman money you gave can be converted into 312 standard spirit coins. May I ask..."
"The extra money will be regarded as your tip. Find us a better machine car."
Hearing Milo's words, the young man smiled and said that the Donghuafang sightseeing machine is always inspected and repaired, and it is always in the most perfect condition. However, his subordinates were not slow at all and helped select a two-person machine.
, help Milo and Yangzhen register.
The appearance of this machine vehicle is somewhat similar to some two-seater mini cars in Milo's previous life, but the shells of these machine vehicles are detachable and automatically adjust to a suitable state according to the body shapes of Milo and Yang Zhen.
Moreover, when Milo was adjusting himself in the car, he saw some mechanism structures and rune nodes inside.
Although I have not seen the complete version, the details revealed are enough for Milo to have a general understanding of it and understand that its driving force comes from the earth veins and formations below Fangshi.
Moreover, these agency vehicles themselves should have certain monitoring, defense and prison functions.
As for the operation mode of this car, it is a typical fool mode. With the voice instructions, Milo quickly mastered how to use it and headed to the busiest commercial street in Fang City.
The commercial street in Donghuafang City is different from the trading area. This is a place run by mortals and monks.
To put it simply, this is a place where ordinary people’s finances can purchase monk resources.
Although most of the people operating here are subordinates of the city or official forces.
But there are also some warlocks, low-level monks, and monks who practice special methods who come here to trade.
The purpose of Milo's coming here is very simple. He plans to come here to purchase some portraits.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the commercial street, he heard waves of shouting and bargaining echoing in his ears.
"Take a look, take a look, the fine Yangzhou silk, this is the top grade produced by Yangzhou Tianluomen. Look at the texture, how soft and smooth it is..."
"Liar! Tianluomen is best at weaving silk and satin. Compared with other textiles, the stitches are sparse and have gaps and wrinkles. How can it be soft and smooth!"
"The Luo you are talking about is made by us mortals. It is only suitable for making summer clothes or for embroidery. But the Tianluomen are immortals who can go up to the sky to collect clouds and weave them into threads. They can do the same..."
"Clearout sale! If you pass by, don't miss it. Whether it's 50-year-old ginseng or 30-year-old Yunzhi, they are both 50% off, both are 50% off..."
"Special silver jewelry originating from Jingzhou! They are all produced in Jingzhou and are blessed with magic and blessings..."
"The fresh Yimu Jingying and Guishui Jingying are the trophies of Fangshi's guards who went out to sweep grass sprites and water sprites three days ago. They are sold in large quantities but at low prices, and they are sold cheaply!"
The layer upon layer of sounds made Milo and Yangzhen Taoists who had not yet entered it feel the development of commerce here and the equal relationship between mortals and monks.
It seemed that he had little to do with Milo, but he still walked into it with Yangzhen, and Milo asked about the prices of some goods from time to time along the way.
Yangzhen was a little curious and asked Milo why he did this.
Miluo Chuanyin explained: "As one of the largest trading markets in Xuzhou, although the variety of goods here is rich, it does not mean that the prices are cheap. Senior brother, have you noticed that the only goods that are cheap here are the raw materials, such as the Concentration and Calming Talisman
And some basic elixirs to assist cultivation, the prices are higher than normal, and the shops here are advertising the purchase of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. What do you think this means?'
‘There is a huge demand for basic materials here, and you can often get some natural and earthly treasures here?’
After answering Milo's question, Yangzhen frowned slightly: "But how is this possible? Is it so easy to encounter heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"
