Zhongdu, also called Jincheng, is one of the super metropolises.
It is located in the northwest of the Dazhongchuan Basin.
The territory is densely covered with rivers and crisscrossed by mountains, but the central area is flat, covered with water and mist, and is rich in products. It can be considered a prosperous place.
If the capital city is the center of national power, then the capital city is the center of the country's economy, and the central capital is the center of national life and culture.
When you are young, you will never enter Zhongdu, and when you are old, you will never leave Jincheng.
This sentence refers to the many temptations of this rich and prosperous land. It is not only a good place for sightseeing, but also a good place for delicious food and drink. It is also a gentle place where beauties are like clouds and scimitar-breaking backs.
A young man should have the world in mind and hone himself, so that he can be successful in life.
If you had come here at an early age, you would inevitably have lost yourself in the face of endless temptations, and even lingered, never wanted to return, lost all your ambitions, and accomplished nothing.
If one has reached his twilight years and his physical strength and energy have greatly declined, then staying in a slow-paced city like Zhongdu, which is warm, humid and has a pleasant climate, will naturally be quiet and pleasant, bring a lot of happiness, and thus prolong life.
Ye Chong has never been to Zhongdu. All the information about this city was obtained from the Internet.
When he finally arrived here after traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers by train, he was immediately attracted.
Sweet air.
Comfortable temperature.
Slow pace.
Gentle eyes.
various people.
…
However, what attracted Ye Chong most was that many pedestrians on the road were holding mobile phones.
Some are scrolling through their mobile phone screens.
Some are constantly inputting information.
Some are laughing and talking on the phone.
Some are watching the video quietly.
…
He couldn't help but blink, feeling excited and dissatisfied at the same time.
Damn it!
Why can people here still use mobile phones as before?
Didn’t you hear that new mobile phone models have just begun mass production?
Why is it that the streets here are all bad, but not in Yangcheng?
However, although Ye Chong was a little depressed at first, he was actually slowly starting to feel happy.
After all, new models of mobile phones have appeared here, which means that he will soon be able to own one.
Otherwise, transferring money, surfing the Internet, checking information... are too restricted and very inconvenient.
Um?
Ye Chong looked into the distance.
I saw two men wearing golden gowns and tall hats, talking quietly and walking slowly forward.
In another direction, three tough black men were leaning on the railing on one side, smoking cigarettes and laughing.
Looking further away, at least seven or eight women wearing black veils crossed the street with light steps and entered the alley opposite.
Whoa!
Ye Chong subconsciously turned around and saw an old man with a wrinkled face and a bald head standing three meters away, looking at him with a smile.
The old man was holding a cane that looked like a dead tree root in his left hand, and a broken black bowl in his right hand, shaking it every now and then, making a clattering sound.
I go!
This is the rhythm of asking for money.
When you first come here, before you make any money, do you want to lose money first?
Absolutely impossible!
Ye Chong turned his head and walked away without even looking at the old man.
This place is not far from the train station. There are many homeless people and people asking for money. This is normal and is the same across the country.
It's better to stay away from these people. If you accidentally provoke them, you won't be able to escape without being beaten or scolded.
"Little brother," the old man behind suddenly called out, and then said: "Reward me with money and good luck. Don't lose your duty because of small things."
Um?
Ye Chong frowned slightly and stopped.
Why does what this old man said sound a little weird?
Was it because he didn't give him money that he issued a malicious curse?
still?
"Old man, I don't have much money with me, and I have to travel, eat, and sleep. I can't help you this time," Ye Chong smiled, "Next time, haha!"
Wow!
The bald old man shook the broken bowl with a smile and said nothing.
Ye Chong frowned and thought to himself, is this really entangled?
Then it's better to do less than to do more. Let's get rid of this old man quickly, so as not to cause more trouble and trouble.
Whoosh!
Ye Chong took the backpack with his backhand and wanted to find the change inside.
But before he could unzip it, he immediately seemed stupid.
I saw a big hole on one side of the backpack. I reached inside and found a wallet.
Buzz!
His head felt numb.
The few hundred dollars in change in your wallet is a trivial matter. If you run out of money, you can withdraw it from your bank card.
But the problem is that bank cards, ID cards, notifications, etc. are all kept in the wallet.
Damn it!
Once you lose your wallet, you are really alone and pauper.
Ye Chong's face suddenly turned pale, bloodless and extremely ugly.
To be honest, he is not exaggerating at all. If most people want to get close to the backpack, he can clearly detect it.
Moreover, he put his wallet in the innermost and bottom part of his backpack, with clothes piled on top to protect it.
However, the wallet is gone.
If this matter spreads in the martial arts academy, it will really become a big joke.
A student of the martial arts academy, a future warrior, had his things stolen by a thief without anyone noticing. How insulting would that be?
Swish, swish, swish!
Ye Chong looked around and frowned.
He knew in his heart that he didn't know when someone had tampered with the backpack.
However, what he knew was that he really met a master today.
The guy who stole things from him was definitely not simple, he was probably a pretty good warrior.
But, then again.
As a respected upper-class person, how could a warrior become a thief?
Nowadays, if you steal from an ordinary person, what can you steal?
If you have that free time, you might as well do a few public tasks, which is just a bit of work and make a lot of money, right?
wrong!
Ye Chong's expression suddenly changed.
If the other party is a martial artist, he should be able to sense the strength of my energy and blood, and these days are the registration days for Kyushu Martial Arts Academy, so the other party may have judged that he is the applicant, and then wait for the opportunity to commit the crime.
That's right.
Who doesn’t sign up and bring a little extra money?
What's more, new mobile phones have not yet been widely used. If they are not fully insured, some people find it troublesome to withdraw money from bank cards, or have to pay a lot of handling fees, so they carry a lot of cash for daily expenses.
Wow!
Wow!
The bald old man shook the broken bowl a few times again and made an urging sound.
However, when he saw Ye Chong's confused look, he shook his head and turned away.
The deadwood stick hit the ground, making a thumping sound.
At this time, Ye Chong was really confused.
"I didn't expect that."
"I was cautious all the way, but I still suffered a big loss. The attack that Zhongdu gave me was quite powerful."
