The time in the underground world is synchronized with the time on the ground.
Although it is impossible to see the sun and moon in Blackwater City.
However, the white mushrooms growing on the surface of stone pillars and stone walls will emit bright light during the day and become silent at night, creating a natural phenomenon of alternating day and night.
When all the white mushrooms fell into a deep sleep, this bustling underground city lit up with dots of lights.
Seen from a distance, it has a different kind of beauty.
Gao Jing sat on the balcony on the third floor of the villa, drinking and enjoying the night view of Blackwater City.
Feeling extremely relaxed.
Meow~
Jiuqiao got out from under the recliner, jumped on Gao Jing's body nimbly, and rubbed his chin affectionately.
Gao Jing smiled slightly.
He touched the little guy's head, slowly closed his eyes, and expelled all distracting thoughts from his mind.
Visualize the sacred mountain according to the method of mountain refining.
In the sea of consciousness, the towering Kunlun suddenly appeared!
Xiao Jiu, who was curled up in Gao Jing's arms, felt something and glanced at his master doubtfully.
It tilted its head and silently jumped back to the ground.
The long night has just begun.
Early the next morning, before the bell rang seven times, Gao Jing arrived at the Blackwater Chapter of the Yuan City Alliance.
He arrived very early, and Kui Bao and other teammates had not yet appeared.
Gao Jing enters the hall.
After some inquiring, he found out that the wooden sign that was confiscated from the black-robed sorcerer yesterday was called the house owner's sign. As the name suggests, it was the identity sign of the owner of the house.
The house owner card is a low-level witchcraft weapon, and one card corresponds to a house in an uptown area.
If you don't have a homeowner's card, even if you can sneak into the uptown area without concealing the checkpoints and patrols, you can't even think of sneaking into the villa.
Because this will inevitably trigger the totem array arranged inside, triggering an alarm and attracting patrol soldiers.
Of course, a family may have several or even dozens of people, as well as maids and servants, etc.
Therefore, the homeowner's card can be copied into a sub-card and a servant card for family members and servants to carry with them in and out of the city and home.
But there is only one homeowner's card, and it will be very troublesome if it is lost.
This ensures the safety of the upper city to a great extent.
Homeowner cards can be bought, sold and traded freely.
But if you rob or pick up someone else's house owner's card, it does not mean that you are the owner of the house.
Unless there is no complaint from the sufferer!
As for the villa where Gao Jing stayed last night, the original owner was lying in the storage space, so there was no possibility of redressing his grievances.
So in theory.
Gao Jing, who holds the homeowner's card, can definitely take possession of this valuable house as his own!
It's just not completely cost-free.
Although the houses in Shangcheng District have permanent property rights, they need to pay 5% land tax on time every year. The tax amount is calculated based on the market value. In addition, there are totem array maintenance fees, city infrastructure fees, guard fees, cleaning fees, water fees...
All kinds of taxes and fees add up to a lot of money!
If the homeowner cannot pay taxes on time, even if it is only one copper coin short.
Then his house will be immediately taken back by the Deacon Hall, the owner's license will be invalidated, and it will be sold at auction!
Gao Jing felt like he had seen this routine before somewhere.
He checked and found out that the taxes on his house this year have been paid in full, and the next payment will be at the beginning of next year.
Living underground is not easy!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The copper bell rang from the bell tower in the city, ringing seven times in a row.
The whole city is completely awake.
At this time, Gao Jing met Kui Bao and others at the entrance of the hall.
Kui Bao said simply and neatly: "Let's go!"
Under his leadership, Gao Jing and four other team members arrived at a building next to the branch.
Then go down the long stairs deep underground.
Because there is also white glow mushroom lighting inside, the light is very bright.
But the further down Gao Jing went, the more surprised he became.
When he reached the finish line, he couldn't believe his eyes!
"This is the way to go."
Kui Bao noticed Gao Jing's expression and explained with a smile: "The subway car will come here in a while. We can save a lot of time by taking the bus to Senluo Xucheng."
Gao Ding nodded.
It's just that his heart is far from as peaceful as it appears.
The so-called subway with railway tracks in front of us is clearly a subway, and it is double-tracked!
On the platform, there are already many adventurers like Kui Bao and others waiting.
Although compared to the subway in the main world, the underground roads here appear very primitive and crude.
But Gao Jing really didn't expect that there was already a rudimentary rail transit system underground in the big world.
What opened his eyes even more was what came next.
After about four or five minutes, a long train of subway cars came over with a "clop, clatter, clatter".
Stopped in front of the platform!
The front of the car, the carriage, the wheels and the upper and lower doors, this so-called underground rail car, are not much different in structure from the trains that Gao Jing is familiar with. They are very similar to the old green leather cars.
But the color of the car body is black and gray, the car has grilled windows and no glass, and there are five cars in total with the front car.
What left him speechless the most was that there was white steam coming out of the front of the car!
Is it still a coal-burning steam engine?
Gao Jing didn't smell the soot at all.
"Get in the car quickly!"
Kui Bao jumped onto the subway car first and urged Gao Jing: "Don't be stunned."
Gao Jing came to his senses and quickly got into the car.
The carriage is quite spacious inside and has rows of seats.
But no one.
Those who have just come up are the first batch of passengers.
Kui Bao asked the team members to sit together and said: "It will take about ten minutes to reach Senluo Xu City. Let's take a rest first. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
The one-eyed warrior looked at Gao Jing, and the meaning in his eyes clearly meant that Gao Jing was a rookie.
And Gao Jing is indeed a rookie adventurer.
He never pretends to understand, and he doesn't like to pretend to be fat.
Out of strong curiosity about subway cars, Gao Jing asked Kui Bao many related questions.
In fact, the full name of the ground rail car is called a psionic ground rail car. The front of the train is a large magic weapon, which uses psychic power to tow the carriages mounted on the back to transport passengers or cargo.
Subway cars appeared thousands of years ago and are the most important means of transportation connecting different cities.
The current underground roads have connected thousands of Abyss cities!
The underground tunnels of Heishui City were dug ten years ago and mainly connect Wuzhi, Tieliang and Shahuyuan City.
The Senluo Xu City that Kui Bao's team is going to was accidentally discovered by Tieluluyuan City when it was opening up a new tunnel, and then a large-scale exploration mission was launched in the Yuan City Alliance.
This mission has rich rewards and fierce competition, with many adventurer teams participating.
While talking, more and more people came to the car, and soon the whole carriage was packed!
The last adventurers who came up had no seats left——
