Chapter 29: The Plan
After returning to the main urban area of Lion City, Zhang Heng said goodbye to the leaders of the other four teams, and then agreed to meet in a familiar tavern within two or three days. The five of them reminded each other not to tell Hao Qi's story, but there is some inside information in it. They will discuss this matter later. Before that, each team will rest for a while. If you should sell crystals, you should improve your life.
The current situation of the other four teams is actually similar to Zhang Heng's team. They have only changed from new players to teams with an average level of three. In order to reach this level, they have actually used all their money. If this action is not successful and they have not obtained crystals, then this winter is the time when these five teams disappear. But luck is good, thanks to this action, I have made a lot of profits. The first priority after I come back this time is undoubtedly to improve their lives.
Whether it is buying food, choosing a new address, buying thick clothes when winter comes, or storing money to survive the cold winter, or helping those who are coming, but they do not have the courage or ability to hunt monsters as professionals, in short, there are really too many things they need to do.
The same was true for Zhang Heng and the others. They took Hao Qi together and returned to their residential land in a slum area. It was a residential area assigned by the guild. Not only was it very dilapidated, but there were many bugs in this residential area, and the houses were shaking as if they were about to collapse at any time. It was a blessing that the two girls had been patient. It was really good-natured to be able to live in such an environment for so long.
Although such a residential house is not as ragged as the outside, judging from the walls and materials, it is not that the interior of the house is well decorated, but that Zhang Heng and others are caring their homes carefully. Even if it is such a shabby home, they also manage it carefully. There are two rooms in total, two girls live in one room, and the other four people live in one room. Hao Qi did not see the girl's room, but Zhang Heng and others are indeed well tidy. According to Zhang Heng, this room is usually cleaned and organized by two girls. Some cracks and holes in the room are pasted by the two girls with some paper. Although the whole room is empty, it is indeed a neat home.
When everyone returned to their respective rooms, took off their equipment, packed their weapons, and replaced their clothes. Then the few people went to the bathroom of men and women. Only Zhang Heng changed into a set of patched ordinary clothes, and took Hao Qi out directly. After buying two sets of clothes in the nearby market, Zhang Heng wanted to buy some ordinary food, but was stopped by Hao Qi. He ignored Zhang Heng's ugly face and directly took Zhang Heng's remaining money and went to buy a few large pieces of lean meat, lamb hind legs, and two chickens. In Hao Qi's words, you actually gave me black bread after birth and death. This was the same as taking off your pants and showing me the gourd baby. Of course, Zhang Heng didn't know what it had to do with taking off his pants, and he didn't even know what the gourd baby was...
But the same thing is true. Zhang Heng instinctively had an unspeakable trust in Hao Qi, so although Hao Qi was willful, he didn't say much. He bought a lot of expensive ingredients and the clothes he bought for Hao Qi, Zhang Heng had no money except crystals.
After returning to the residence, the other five people had finished washing up. They saw the ingredients that Zhang Heng and Hao Qi carried back. The four of them looked at each other and then cheered loudly at the same time, especially the little girl Xiuxiu cheered the loudest, as if Hao Qi could even see the saliva at the corner of Xiuxiu's mouth.
The four of them took the ingredients. Two girls put on aprons and started preparing to cook. Three men were helping with sex. Zhang Heng took Hao Qi to the bathroom. It was a very simple bathroom. Fortunately, hot water could flow out of the pipe directly. This is also one of the civil benefits of the city hall. Of course, it also requires payment. However, as a professional, there is a little preferential treatment. You can enjoy hot water for free in the residence provided by the guild. This is also the only advantage of Zhang Heng and others who think this is about to collapse.
No matter what, after working for several days, it is really very comfortable to take a hot bath. Moreover, the season in this world is about to fall, and the temperature outside is only about seven or eight degrees, and nothing is more comfortable than a hot bath.
In the bath room, Zhang Heng suddenly asked Hao Qi and said, "Hao Qi... You are really a descendant, not an indigenous person. Are you really... not going to deceive me?"
Hao Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will never deceive my partner! I am definitely the descendant!"
Zhang Heng nodded after hearing this, and after a while he said, "I agreed with the leader of the other four regiments that I will not tell you about your affairs. Some of these things I want to tell you... Although the signs are not obvious, it is obvious that the Aboriginal people are suppressing our Arrivals. At that time, the affairs of the Head of State were one, followed by intelligence sharing, training of new vocationals, etc. If they were indigenous professions, the first-level Aboriginal professionals would come to train them, and the previous few attacks on monsters would follow. As the Arrivals, there would be no preferential treatment. Secondly, the intelligence issue. When our Arrivals appeared in this world, there was no information about this world except in the employment, so most of the Arrivals died in the first battle against monsters in the wild, and the gold coin given during the employment was not precious, so many people starved to death..."
Zhang Heng said this, his eyes were filled with helplessness and anger. He said, "Maybe the signs are not obvious, but the senior Aboriginal leaders gave me a feeling that they deliberately kept a certain distance from our visitors, and were maliciously distanced. I don't know if it was a certain rule, or some laws or similar things. They acted their external actions as official, such as if you want to take a job, if you want to check intelligence, you ask you to check intelligence, and if you want to buy and sell things, they seem cold.
And sinister, and at the same time, we also suppressed the strongest group of people among our descendants without any evidence. Although there was no evidence, there were too many suspicions about the incident of the head of state at that time... Because of this, our descendants have become increasingly united. Not only are the professions in our descendants who can fight monsters, but also those who give up the battle, we can help and help them. At the same time, the secrets of our descendants are kept, and they should not be told to the indigenous people as much as possible, and the same is true for yours."
Hao Qi was silent, and he suddenly asked, "The people who followed the head of state at the time were not dead, right? Have the people who are still alive now become slaves?"
Zhang Heng nodded silently, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Not only slaves... women are sold to brothels, the lowest-level ones, or purchased by nobles and indigenous professionals. I don't know about life and death. Many men are also purchased, and some are demoted to minerals. And they are not known to be in the minerals outside the city... Taurus City has become a nightmare among our descendants. It is said that there are descendants found on the streets and can be confirmed, then anyone can arrest them. If they refuse to arrest, they can use their scalp to exchange gold coins in the city hall..."
Hao Qi was silent and didn't say a word. After a long time, he said, "I understand, so we will take up the job tomorrow. Do you have any plans recently?"
Zhang Heng didn't want to talk about the tragedy of Taurus again, so he turned around and said, "Tomorrow morning we will accompany you to work, and then move in the afternoon. Although it was a little hasty, to be honest, as the leader, he is still a man. Seeing the team members gnawing black bread every day and two girls living in this flea shack full of fleas, I felt very stressed. I will move tomorrow. Although the house is not big, there are two rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, and furniture and beds are all ready-made. Although it takes eight silver coins for a month to rent, I think it's... "
"Okay, take the job tomorrow, then move, and then..."
Hao Qi looked up at the ceiling full of gaps and loopholes, and said, "Then we go to kill monsters. It will probably take half a month to travel far away. Before winter comes, all the team members will be able to have a first-level profession, and then..."
