Chapter 32 Bicycles on the Rack
Zhuang Yun wants his daughter to have a good childhood, but now it is not his own choice. If he wants to live a good life, he must work hard.
Then he nodded, his eyes full of determination, "I'll go, and I'll get paid according to my efforts."
Lu Jiu smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous. The rewards for killing monsters on the way are all yours. If you encounter a BOSS, the three of us will work together and distribute the resources after killing it."
She and Shen Jufeng mainly wanted to kill more bosses, so they had no shortage of resources.
"Then we'll set off in three days. If you want to plant some morning glories, just ask An An to help you harvest them."
"You and Mr. Shen's flower pots can also be delivered. An An will help with the harvest. She knows how to water and harvest." After all, even if the trumpet is not used by herself, the price of selling it is not low.
"No need. I know An An is sensible. Let's make it a deal. Gather at the city gate at 9 am in three days."
Maybe Shen Jufeng needs to collect some speakers, but she really doesn't need them. She hasn't used one yet.

A Liu received an email from his parents at home. After the incident in Phantom City, they immediately went to Paradise City, but they had paid half a year's rent in Phantom City before, and because of this incident, the money was wasted.
A Liu sneered. The rent was actually paid by her, and they felt bad for her.
This email stated throughout that she was a professional player, and that she would definitely make money and should support her parents. The last point was that she wanted to live with A Liu.
Ever since Xuantian City's bounty hall opened, some people have been organizing temporary teams. Some are heading to Paradise City, and some have contacted their relatives and told them about it. The news has probably spread to Paradise City as well.
Brother Wen saw A Liu with a sullen face in the hall and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My parents asked me to go to Paradise City to pick them up."
Upon hearing this, Brother Wen frowned. He had heard about the character of A Liu's parents. When he left, he left all his money to her parents.
"Then what do you plan to do?" He couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, so he could only ask.
"I don't want to bother with them anymore. I've blocked them. I made it clear before I left. I'll give them all the money and the equipment in half. We'll just be strangers from now on."
Brother Wen snorted, "It seems they don't think so. Since they've blocked me, just ignore it. I just came back from the forging shop, and there's a new piece of equipment in the shop: a bicycle."
Ah Liu was immediately drawn to the bicycle and asked hurriedly, "What kind of bicycle is it? Is it the kind we used to have?"
You have to know that the mounts sold in the system mall are basically unaffordable unless you become rich. They have to rely on their own two legs to fight monsters every day, so they desperately want a means of transportation.
"It's made of wood, but it's fine for riding. I see that the chain is made of iron, and the speed bonus is 66. Since this bonus is not low, it's of brown iron grade. It can be seen that the city lord has lowered the price, but we will have to pay a lot of money to buy it."
"How many?" At worst, they could just actively clear the jungle later. With a bicycle, they could find wild monsters much faster.
"2888 copper coins. The store manager told me it should have been priced in silver coins, but considering no one has silver coins right now, they converted it to copper coins, even after the city lord lowered the price."
Even though A Liu was mentally prepared, the price still made him gasp. Nearly 3,000 copper coins, and there weren't many available in the city.
Moreover, A Liu had just given all her money to her parents not long ago, and now she doesn’t have much left, barely enough for her to pay the rent.
Brother Wen knew she couldn't afford it right now, "A bicycle is a two-person vehicle. We can buy one together. It's okay if you don't have the money right now. You can pay me back later."
"Thank you, Brother Wen! But are you really not going to join the team again now?"
After their team arrived, we wanted to invite them to join again, and even let Brother Wen be the captain again, but Brother Wen refused at that time.
"Well, I don't want to join the team now. A temporary team is fine." In his opinion, being a captain is a thankless job, it is better to form a temporary team and feel relaxed.
"That's fine. There are too many people in that team. I prefer to keep things simple." So she didn't agree to go back.
Before the bounty hall was opened, she and Brother Wen had always teamed up to clear the wild area. Now they find a temporary team with fewer people to go to the forest together.
The purpose of forming a temporary team is to prevent emergencies and not be alone. The rest of the team can fight their own monsters and contact each other at any time.
"The current team is not suitable for the current world. If we really face these things, everyone hopes that the resources they have earned will not be handed over for redistribution."
Many teams still put resources together after defeating monsters and then redistribute them, under the pretext of taking care of all teammates, but this is actually inappropriate.
Survival now depends on your own ability. The more capable you are, the more resources you can get. This method was still useful in the past when the living space in Phantom City was difficult.
But it’s better not to do that in a place like Xuantian City.

Many people gathered around the bicycle display stand in the forging shop. The overall structure of the bicycle was simple, and it had a rear seat. For the sake of beauty, the body of the bicycle was painted, and you could choose the color according to your preference when buying it.
Don’t look at the 2888 copper coins. The display stand now shows 5/50, which means 5 bicycles have been sold.
"I went to our city and the five local tycoons acted quickly."
"I've been in Xuantian City for three months, and I've been out clearing the fields every day. I shouldn't be short of three thousand copper coins."
When Bai Rou entered the shop, she saw a large crowd of people crowded around a display stand. She went to the front desk and said crisply, "I want a bicycle and I want to choose a color."
The guy at the front desk replied gently, "Of course, we have these colors now, you can take a look."
Bai Rou immediately chose the pink one. Even the back seat was pink leather with white satin tied at the end. It was quite cute.
"There are also options for the front basket, including 5-, 8-, and 12-compartment capacity, with each compartment holding 99 identical items."
This was the first time Bai Rou heard of such equipment. Each of them had a backpack, and all their equipment was placed in the backpack.
"How can I say that? You should know that we all have backpacks."
"That's right, but the player's personal backpack is not unlimited. You will find out soon." The guy at the front desk still had a smiling expression, but what he said made Bai Rou's heart tremble.
She has always known that NPCs are very intelligent and seem to have their own thoughts, but does what the receptionist said mean that there will be an "update" soon?
Yes, updates are a common maintenance measure for games, or this happens when a large number of new equipment are released.
"What about the price?" Bai Rou didn't continue to ask the young man about the limited number of backpacks.
The guy at the front desk had a glint of appreciation in his eyes, and seemed pleased that she hadn't asked the question again. "5 squares are 10 copper coins, 8 squares are 13 copper coins, and 12 squares are 18 copper coins."
It was surprisingly inexpensive. "I want the 12-grid one." She could afford it anyway.
"Okay, the final product of your bicycle will probably look like this, please take a look." The guy at the front desk turned the interface to her.
