So, this scene appeared in front of the exchange counter.
A pile of messy things was piled on the neat and clean dark gray polished stone surface.
There are everything from a big green and moist stone sculpture tree to a small sparkling diamond, as well as polished skulls of unknown animals, brown boxes thrown everywhere, bottles and jars...
"Only two star coins?!" Tu Ran pinched the goose egg-sized diamond, almost poking it into the guide's eyes, "This is a diamond! It's so big!!"
The guide pulled her hand away and raised his head from the pile of goods in front of him. "It's just carbon."
Tu Ran: “…”
She quietly put the diamond back into her own space. Oh, she didn't sell it yet.
When she returns to Blue Star, this diamond will be enough for her to lie down on.
She sat on a high chair in front of the exchange counter, propped up her chin and looked at the pile of things in front of her... They were all taken from Xie Xieao's collection room. Except for the inner elixir, she took out everything else. Rubbing her eyes, Tu Ran didn't have much hope, "How much are all these worth in total?"
The guide had already spread out everything and was scanning it all with a large instrument.
Three minutes later.
"Nine thousand one hundred and two star coins."
Tu Ran almost fell off her chair, "Did you calculate wrongly?" She scanned the various treasures in front of her one by one.
How could all these add up to less than ten thousand? ! "I did not make a mistake," the guide put the instrument aside and rested his hands on the stone slab, "Your things are just good-looking, not practical. If they were in other worlds, they could be a collection, but in the Ruler's World..." He shook his head regretfully, "The Ruler's World does not need vases."
Tu Ran, who called all the treasures in her collection "vases", felt disheartened. She supported her forehead with one hand and waved the other hand, "I don't want them anymore. Take them all. Nine thousand is fine." She still had to eat and stay at home.
Now her card is cleared and accommodation and food have become a problem.
After consulting the Hundred-Eyed Elf for the money, she would think of other ways.
The guide waved his hand, and several waiters came up and put everything on the table into the space bag and left.
The guide used a card reader to top up Tu Ran's account.
Tu Ran jumped off the high chair. She was not in the mood to look at the small amount of money in her account, so she asked Tang Ying to leave.
"Where are you going?"
Tu Ran didn't hesitate at all, "Make money."
Tang Ying followed in silence, and it was obvious that she also thought that the most urgent task was to solve the money problem.
The two of them have never come out since they entered the underground. It is just as the guide said, there is everything underground. If they had money, they could have stayed there longer.
Standing in the elevator, Tu Ran pressed the "0" floor button.
The first floor above ground.
When the elevator door opened, the first thing Tu Ran saw was the light blue flower in the vase.
Next to the vase, a child was sitting there in a daze.
Seeing Tu Ran coming out of the elevator, he glanced at her briefly, said nothing, and continued to be in a daze.
Tu Ran walked out of the elevator and glanced at his work number as he approached: Guide No. 125.
He is waiting for his customers to come.
Tu Ran withdrew her gaze, but Tang Ying had already opened the skylight and walked out before her.
Tu Ran followed immediately.
The blood-red sky came into view after a long absence.
Tu Ran turned towards the destination and said, "Let's go find the city lord."
The location of the City Lord's Mansion is private to the outside world.
In the Border City, the city lord is a profession that is often assassinated. Not only because of competition from peers, but also because some radical stars hate what Wu Ma Star did, and the city lord becomes their target for venting their anger.
Tu Ran had only talked to the Hundred-Eyed Elf for seventeen minutes before. One minute saved was equivalent to saving 100,000 star coins. She spent 100,000 star coins to consult an ordinary waiter for an hour, during which she asked about the location of the City Lord's Mansion. Two black shadows ran wildly on the dark path in the Border City.
Turn left and right and join the crowd.
Today, the flow of people in Junction City is particularly agitated.
The whole street which used to be filled with solemnity and grimness was now faintly festive. People in black robes talked to each other, and people in black robes from other streets kept coming and going.
Tu Ran and Tang Ying only exchanged glances for a few moments before the entire street was crowded with people in black robes. It would be difficult for the two of them to get through the crowd to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Spending money again? Is the information reliable this time? I waited in vain last time."
A voice came from behind, and was converted into the language of the Green-Eyed Tribe through a voice converter.
Talking about why they are stuck here.
Tu Ran straightened his back unconsciously, and his ears under the black robe also stood up.
"This time it's real. Haven't you noticed? She only comes to spread money every thirty days. Last time, the news came out only nineteen days later. It must be fake. You actually believed it."
"Thirty days, why is it so long?"
"Who knows? But it's good to have money. You expect people to come every day."
Thirty days is exactly one month on Blue Star. Tu Ran doesn’t know whether there is any connection between them.
She continued to eavesdrop. Tang Ying knew she was eavesdropping, but he didn't pull her out.
"I wonder which planet she is from. She is so rich. Look at our Jian Planet, everyone is poor," the man behind him said sadly. "Although I can't see what the people under the black robes look like, I am sure that half of the people crowded on this street are from our Jian Planet."
His companions tried to comfort him, "What's the use of having money? You're still homeless anyway!"
"Alas, I don't know what the rulers like about us? We have no energy at all, and we can't even build a usable production chain. It's a problem to feed the people on our own planet, but the rulers didn't blow us up."
These words probably touched the hearts of the two men, and they fell silent for a moment.
Tu Ran turned her head and said calmly, "Because the labor force is cheap and plentiful, and there is a sense of trust that cannot be matched in the other worlds."
They both: “…”
I felt hurt first, and then angry.
This black robe from an unknown star actually said this about their star. No matter how bad Jane Star is, it is still their hometown! "Which star are you from? You must be very powerful, right?"
"Jane Xing." Tu Ran said nonsense seriously. When he went out, he gave himself an identity.
They both: “…”
Being from the same Jian Star, and being the same poor bastards standing here waiting for money to be thrown around, the two sides immediately felt like fellow countrymen meeting each other, their eyes filled with tears, and they were almost about to shake hands and have a drink together.
Tu Ran struck while the iron was hot. "I just came here a dozen days ago. Today I heard that someone was throwing money around, so I came here. What's going on? Is someone really throwing money around? How much? When did it start? What's that person's name?"
"Someone really did throw money around. They came here on an airship. They did it 30 days ago and I stole more than 5,000 star coins. That's more than I could earn doing hard labor in a month. She's really a kind person."
After a month, Tu Ran could still hear the other person's joy. She felt lucky to share it, but now she wanted to get down to business.
Before she was about to speak again, another Jian star person looked at her with a pair of gray-brown black pupils, "Today is the fourth time. Everyone calls her Rich Lady Li."
Tang Ying spoke up, "Is that the nickname you gave her?"
"No, she asked everyone to call her that," Jane, who was immersed in happiness, came to her senses, "She didn't even reveal which planet she was from, she only told us to call her a rich woman. But she is indeed rich. The money she spends at one time is equal to my salary..."
He fell again.
Tang Ying was speechless and looked at Tu Ran, only to find that Tu Ran was lowering his eyes slightly with a blank look in his eyes.
Tang Ying had seen Tu Ran like this before. Whenever she was looking for a place or someone, she would have this expression.
Tang Ying heard that she had a special ability called "sense of direction".
But she didn't know what Tu Ran was looking for suddenly.
