The road is spacious enough to accommodate twelve carriages running parallel to each other. On both sides are buildings of different heights, some seven or eight meters short, some only twenty or thirty meters high, but they are built with extraordinary style. Some buildings have a main body.
There are vigorous ancient trees, some buildings look like giant beasts with their mouths open, and some are pagodas and palaces.
It was an eye-opener for An Jianyou.
It was indeed the most prosperous city in the Broken Sea region. There were so many things that she had never seen before.
Because he has handled a lot of affairs in the Mission Guild, An Jianyou has a wider understanding of this magnificent city than many local residents of Damaran City - ordinary people born and raised in the city, many of whom will never be able to leave their own country throughout their lives.
A digital area of life, almost in the outer city.
Even the awakened, low-level ones, only make a living across a few large areas.
An Jianyou had to run the guild, and in just two months he had traveled through many parts of Damaran City. This huge city was much bigger than their base city in Mizusawa, but its population was far smaller.
There is no such thing as demographics here, but from some information compiled by the guild, we can also judge something.
It won't exceed 50 million.
Most of them were concentrated in the outer city, well, to be precise, they were concentrated in the slums in the outer city. Thinking of the scenes she saw in the slums, she couldn't help but sigh, but there was no way to change it.
This is the Great Miran City.
The poor are poor and the rich are rich.
Just like the 10th District, this entire area is the "commercial street" in the city. Well, a high-end commercial street. A piece of land is very expensive for a person. Mrs. An's mouth opened slightly when she heard it.
"Many of the people who open stores here are foreign forces! If our Ranhuo Mall can rent out so many shops, it will be great!"
Liu Ying's head turned left and right, dizzy, and her eyes were already in the shape of ￥￥.
She was amazed.
Ranhuo Mall is indeed far from comparable. Not only is the number of shops not as good as one thousandth or one ten thousandth of that here, but the rent per square meter is also far lower than here.
This is a golden area, every inch of land is valuable!
Why is the large base of Yuan Yin Sha Pavilion located in District 11? Isn't it because District 10 is too expensive! Of course, there is no need. This is a large commercial district after all.
Not only that, the land for the base left by the Hidden Killer Pavilion was only leased by them, rather than purchased as real estate. It seems that the transfer to the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce will only be a year or two away.
Bad review.
An Jianyou nodded and clenched his fists with high morale, "So, we have to work hard to make the mall bigger and stronger to the same level as here."
"I have no doubt that our mall can grow. When the store opens for purchase, I will buy one and wait for the value to increase. Hahahaha, I am so smart~!
"Hey, Youyou, you have such a good relationship with your mentor, why don't you ask for some inside information for the sisters?"
Liuying poked An Jianyou's small waist with her elbow and got back a chestnut.
Wow!
Seeing Liu Ying being so interested, An Jian You thought for a moment, "Business in Damaran City is so prosperous, there must be something worth learning from. Ying, why don't you write a research report."
Liuying: "???"
The more An Jianyou thought about it, the more she felt that this report had to be written. Didn't her instructor often ask her to write experience reports? Now, it was time to pass on this organizational culture.
Of course, she can also write. She has been writing this kind of thing for a while, but the instructor didn't ask her to write it. She is still not used to it.
One girl was high-spirited, one had her head drooped, and several had curious eyes. The ignorant girls broke into the noisy street.
It’s not the first time for the people from District 10 to come here, but they were busy with official duties before and it’s not until today that they have a holiday so they can leisurely stroll around and experience the customs and customs of a ‘different world’.
There are so many otherworldly elements here, it was an eye-opener for the girls, and Xu Yun’s little mouth remained half-open and closed throughout the whole process.
However, as they gradually got used to these novel elements, they discovered that there were too many exotic customs here.
Separated by more than ten meters or dozens of meters, the styles of the two shops are completely different. Each building looks like it was built entirely by each force, without a unified standard.
There are still ancient wooden buildings here, and not far away there are fireworks style with countless towering torches. That's it. At least to An Jianyou, these two buildings are very novel, but what's going on with the one more than 200 meters away.
The entire exterior wall of the building is carved with hundreds of huge fish heads. These fish heads are blue-grey in color, and their eyes are wide open, staring at the passers-by, as if to say, guests, come quickly, come quickly... That's weird.
!
Seeing these hundreds of dead fish eyes staring at her, An Jianyou got goosebumps.
Liu Ying also crossed her arms, trembling all over, "How could there be such an anti-human design!"
"Because the owner of that shop is not human."
An Jianyou looked sideways and saw that the person speaking was a man wearing a turban, accompanied by several servants.
He looks either rich or noble.
However, it is normal for nobles and wealthy businessmen in the 10th District to have servants accompanying them, so this may be an exception.
But what An Jianyou cares more about is the statement of 'not human'.
Is it a foreign race?
Alien races do exist, and she has already known from various materials. For example, the City of Falling Star has several fantasy life forms such as 'Flower Fairies', 'Smurfs', and 'Tauren' in captivity, but the number is not large. Rather than saying that they are alien races,
Rather, it is a rare protected creature.
There are also relatively powerful alien beings, like snakes of fantasy.
Her practice of meditation on space and meditation requires the consumption of snake brains and snake scales, originally.
But these were only seen in the information. She had never seen a living fantasy life.
Without opening a word, Liuying couldn't wait to ask her curious question, "What race is it? Are there any foreign vassals in Damaran City?"
An innocent, ignorant girl.
It was obviously the first time he came to Daimiran City, and maybe the first time he traveled far away.
But they seem to have considerable financial resources. After all, the weapons they wear look extraordinary.
Deep in the eyes of the turban merchant, an undetectable light flashed. He smiled and said, "You guys guessed wrong. The Siren Palace behind the Ten Thousand Fish Pavilion is the entire Broken Land." The hegemonic power in the Hai region is not inferior to the Great Miran City."
"It's just that alien forces like the Siren Palace rarely interact with humans, and it's hard to see them in big cities. Of course, aliens are not uncommon in our Great Miluan City."
An Jianyou saw it.
The waiters at Wanyu Pavilion in the distance are still human, but looking in through the door, you can see a few weird 'human figures', wearing huge fish heads and wearing wide sleeves that look like humans. There is a saying There is no violation.
Are those the Kraken?
Similar, but not entirely.
An Jianyou remembered that the Siren Palace seemed to be a dominant force that brought together many kinds of fantasy life. She had seen it a little bit in the information about the Hidden Killing Pavilion stronghold. However, there was very little information. The Hidden Killing Pavilion was said to be spread all over the place, but it was not It is limited to the sphere of human influence and has little contact with aliens.
What they took over was only a scattered stronghold, not the core of the Hidden Killing Pavilion. It was difficult to find many high-end secrets.
However, it seems that in addition to the Siren Palace, there is also a foreign overlord force - Fengling Island.
An Jianyou saw him soon.
They were about three or four meters tall, a humanoid group, their whole bodies seemed to be made of whirlwinds and were translucent, and they walked by floating... Bah, bah.
Obviously, people who have lived in the Imperial City and Shangcheng District of Damilan City all year round have become accustomed to the existence of such fantastic beings.
An Jianyou and the others were also curious about it. After looking at it, they felt that it was just like this. They all had two hands and two legs. Even if they had four hands and eight hands, it was not surprising if they thought about it carefully.
She can grow eight or ten arms by herself.
Hmm... I couldn't help but recall the appearance of myself when I was in a non-human state. An Jianyou shook his head violently and said, "Go away! Go away!"
They did learn a lot of novel things from the hijab-wearing businessman Aquino, who called himself "Helping Businessman Aquino." Due to this, they could not refuse Aquino's recommendation and came to a large store.
"Well, here we are.
"This is the stone gambling shop I mentioned - Broken Rock Stone Gambling Shop.
"If you want to buy some weird treasures, you don't have to go to various treasure pavilions to choose from them. Just come here. The rough stones here can not only produce high-grade treacherous crystal mines, but also various kinds of treasures. Some time ago, , someone opened a divine crystal here! Divine crystal!
"The down-and-out young man who discovered the magic crystal suddenly became rich overnight and has become a legend. If you don't believe me, ask the passersby around you."
This stone gambling shop is indeed extraordinary at first glance.
First of all, it’s big. In District 10, where land is at a premium, the area occupied by this broken rock gambling shop is two or three times that of the previous Wanyu Pavilion.
Moreover, the Stone Gambling Shop was bustling with activity, and one could hear exclamations of surprise from time to time.
The halo of treasure bloomed as the original stone was broken open.
An Jianyou also saw it. Indeed, many of them were strange and strange things. She didn't even recognize them. She only judged them extraordinary by the brilliance of the treasures.
People who listened to the discussions around said that some of these rough stones come from ancient ruins and can reveal the secrets of ancient civilizations.
"Young ladies, why not have a try? You can start with the small stakes," businessman Aquino introduced enthusiastically.
An Jianyou and the others walked around the stone gambling shop and saw many people selling treasures, and they were a little moved.
So I threw away thousands of treacherous crystals and bought a few rough stones that were not large in size but had many bumps.
Don't underestimate the cost of several thousand magic crystals. This is already the price of a blue magic weapon. Some inhumans only have one or two blue magic weapons in their entire body.
Instead of human beings, even in places like Damairan City, they are elites.
They bought several rough stones based on their vision and opened them on the spot. Some of them only revealed sporadic crystals, which was a big loss. However, when the last rough stone was opened, a faint purple brilliance was revealed.
"It's epic!"
"It's shipped!"
People around him gathered around and talked with each other.
Another appraisal expert assessed the value of this epic material on site, with a preliminary estimate of 30,000 yuan. In other words, they easily made 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in stone gambling this time!
Big profit!
The people around showed envy, and some encouraged An Jianyou to take advantage of the good fortune to pick a few larger pieces to open their eyes.
At this time, shouts came from the distance.
A new batch of rough stones has arrived, fresh rough stones that have just been transported back from the outside world.
"This batch of rough stones has not been picked yet, so it is the easiest to ship!"
"Yes, if I didn't have enough money in my pocket, I would give it a try today."
"You guys hesitate slowly. I picked it first. If you are too slow, you won't be able to get good stuff."
Many people became anxious, and it seemed that they were either quick or slow.
Seeing this, Liu Ying, Xiong Tianshuang and others also became a little anxious, "Youyou, let's go together."
An Jianyou hesitated for a while, then nodded.
This batch of raw stones is large, high-grade, and the asking price is much higher than the previous scraps. The cheapest ones cost hundreds of thousands of crystals, and the expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands or millions.
Seemingly sensing the hesitation of An Jianyou and the others, Aquino said, "Don't you guys have so many strange crystals with you? It doesn't matter. This stone gambling shop also provides mortgage services, and you can use the items on your body for valuation.
, just wait until treasures are found from the rough stones, and then return them."
While they were talking, there were already rich businessmen, rich young masters, and rich ladies not far away who were starting to choose.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...several high-quality rough stones were picked up one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more tense and lively.
Under such an atmosphere, An Jianyou couldn't help but take action and purchased a rough stone worth millions of strange crystals.
Liuying and others are more eager to buy, but they don't have hundreds of thousands of magic crystals in their pockets. Maybe the total number of magic weapons in their bodies is just this price.
After some hesitation, I still wasn't willing to gamble.
An Jianyou was also worried that he would be the boss, so he took the original stone without dismantling it, so he left with Liu Ying and the others.
After they left, the lively atmosphere in the Stone Gambling Shop cooled down strangely.
Aquino, a businessman, and a steward of a stone gambling shop came together, with some regret on their faces.
"I didn't expect them to restrain themselves."
"It's a pity that a rich lady who can easily produce millions of magic crystals can earn tens of millions if she is asked to pay for something?"
"It's quite a lot to make millions of strange crystals now. After all, we have no costs. They are all waste rocks collected from various places."
"By the way, no treasure has ever been found from these waste rocks?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Mythical beings can't even reveal any treasures in front of them."
The two looked at each other and gradually laughed.
…
"Youyou, I feel like we have been fooled!"
As she walked on the road, the more Liu Ying thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Just now, the atmosphere has reached a point where people can't help but get excited, but now that my mind has cooled down and I think about it again, I feel that passers-by, businessmen, rich young masters, etc., these people are all actors, and they are the only passers-by in this stage play.
.
Furthermore, isn’t this a trick that Blue Star has already practiced by giving them a little taste of sweetness first, and then tempting them to spend large amounts of money?
If you think about it carefully, those are millions of strange crystals! Even in Damaluan City, there are not many wealthy businessmen who can throw out millions of strange crystals casually, right?
"Well, indeed."
"You already knew this?"
"No, I only vaguely realized it just now. Later, I reconstructed the scene with my memory and discovered that there was something slightly wrong in the expressions of those people. I just didn't observe it carefully before."
An Jianyou shook his head.
Liu Ying and others bowed their heads and paused, wishing they could run back to the Gambling Stone Shop to discuss the matter. Having actually lost millions of strange crystals, An Jianyou didn't have much emotional fluctuations.
After all, it is impossible to recover from such deception.
A million strange crystals should be used as a lesson, but fortunately it was only a million strange crystals. After sighing, she also breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay, the loss was not big.
Thinking of this, An Jianyou took out the rough stone from the Ring of Storage, causing her to lose millions of strange crystals.
I hope I can come up with something.
she thinks.
He used extremely precise power to unravel the huge rough stone layer by layer, which was flowing with chaotic energy and could not be penetrated by spiritual thoughts. Suddenly, wisps of golden brilliance bloomed.
When the debris fell off, what appeared in front of several people's eyes was a rhombus crystal with a golden halo.
She is no stranger.
This is……
"God Crystal!"
"Can a divine crystal really be found in this rough stone?"
"A divine crystal is worth at least 20 million, right? It's hard to buy even 20 million!"
Liu Ying and others' eyes widened.
Could it be that they mistakenly blamed Stone Gambling?
