Bai Lan stared at him with eyes wide open and shouted, "How stupid! You need money to eat, buy a top and disguise yourself."
The old man with the white beard laughed and said, "Well, you're right. You need money to eat... Haha! Well, good props cost money, you need money to learn cool moves, and you need money to have a comfortable place to sleep. It's very hard to survive without money. As for the ways to make money, there are too many. You can collect chips from monsters and sell them for money. Some monsters will drop materials and props, which can also be sold for money. You can also earn commissions by completing other people's tasks. Even if you are lucky, you can come across treasures, then you will have more money and treasures than before. After a long time, you will slowly become familiar with it."
At this point, the old man with a white beard stroked his beard and smiled, "We are about to reach our destination. Remember what I said. First, walk around the city and get familiar with the place. Then, make money and set up a mercenary group as soon as possible. In this way, you can not only absorb new members and strengthen your team to lay the foundation for future sieges, but also take on large-scale tasks. The rewards can be very generous, and there are even green and blue equipment. Therefore, taking on tasks can be regarded as a relatively regular way of growth. Of course, there is also a terrible way of training by soaking in a pile of monsters. However, after reaching the second level, it will become extremely far away and difficult to upgrade. At this time, it is not just about killing some monsters to gain experience to upgrade. It requires more talent and understanding than before. If you have great wisdom, you may be able to have an epiphany within a day. Haha, if not, you may be trapped at this level for the rest of your life! Young people, I want to see you create miracles. The human race has been silent for too long, and no miracles have appeared for too long..."
In the end, it turned into a deep regret, and the half-solid old man with white beard slowly disappeared in this square space.
Everyone stared at the old man in amazement as he disappeared. Bai Lan whispered, "Who on earth is this strange old guy? Could it be that he is really a god as he said? Did he come down to earth on purpose to teach us?"
Barbara was shocked and asked, "Are you implying that this old man is the human who once succeeded?"
Barbara finished speaking deeply, and everyone's thoughts sank with her words. This feeling of being confused and constantly being teased was not pleasant. In fact, since coming into this world, everything had already become beyond their control.
"Swoosh" suddenly, everyone felt their whole body tremble, and then a huge white vortex appeared in front of them, and then everyone rushed into the vortex.
The scenery in front of them changed, and suddenly, they were in a huge square, surrounded by tall and simple buildings. There were a lot of people in the square, and when they saw the four of them, they just paid attention to them, and then they all hurriedly went about their own business.
Among these people, Barbara saw many familiar faces, because they were the ones who entered the south gate before her.
"It looks like we have arrived at Nantian City."
Fern said calmly.
Bai Lan looked around and said, "The city is very big, but there don't seem to be many people."
Fern said, "The southern gate has just been opened by the boss. There shouldn't be many people who have arrived at Nantian City yet. We are all among the first batch."
Barbara said, "There are four gates in total, leading to four cities. There are a total of 10,000 people who were chosen to enter. If we divide them evenly, there should be at least 2,000 people in each city. However, I don't know how many of these 10,000 people can survive and walk out of the forest quickly."
The others immediately thought of the horrific scene of corpses all over the ground and fell silent for a moment.
Bai Lan suddenly shouted, "Never mind, listen to that old man, let's walk around here first and get familiar with it. I don't know if there is a bathhouse or something like that. I smell blood all over my body, it's so sad."
"Okay, let's go for a walk along this road first."
Barbara responded.
The little girl cheered immediately. As long as women like to go shopping in the mall, it is normal even if they come to this strange world.
After the four people stood on the square for a moment, they saw several flashes of white light on the square, and several new people appeared. These people were also like them, with a look of surprise on their faces when they first arrived.
People are just slowly coming over, and the peaceful Nantian City is about to become lively, while the crisis and challenges behind it are also slowly approaching.
The four people quickly left the huge square and walked forward from one of the main streets. There was a stone tablet erected on the side of the street with "West Street" written on it.
Along the way, everyone was rather indifferent. I only saw a few people from time to time, but they all seemed to pass by with some purpose, and no one even looked at them, as if looking at them any more would be a waste of their time.
This West Street is very long and you can't see the end when you look at it. There is a big signboard erected every ninety meters or so on both sides of the street, which makes people know what is going on at a glance.
There are more than ten huge signboards on this West Street, with words such as "Nantian Hotel", "Nantian Restaurant", "Nantian Tailor Shop", "Nantian Grocery", and "Nantian Gold Cave" written on them.
The three girls in white and blue cheered immediately. A hotel is naturally a place to stay, a restaurant is a place to eat, a tailor shop is a place to buy clothes, and a grocery store is definitely a place to sell rare Japanese products.
"Fortunately, I am smart and have hidden some money on my body. Let's go to the hotel, get some rooms, and get some hot water so we can take a bath first."
He entered the hotel happily.
Just as Bai Lan took a stack of red bills with the demeanor of a wealthy man and was about to reserve a house, he was driven out by the clerk in the store.
He also coldly said: "Who are you trying to fool with this pile of waste paper? We only recognize silver and gold coins!"
Bai Lan was so angry that she was making trouble at the door and wanted to rush in and kill the clerk. Barbara hurriedly grabbed her and said softly, "Calm down, this clerk is probably more powerful than the four of us put together."
Bai Lan was shocked and didn't have the courage to curse. She glanced at the red bills in her hand and couldn't even cry. Only then did she realize that this was another world. This money was just waste paper here and was treated like waste paper.
Fern sighed and said, "It seems that the only thing to do is to make money first, to make money in this world."
Barbara thought of the five gold coins she had been rewarded with in her small bag, and she said, "Wait for me a moment."
Then I walked into the Nantian Hotel by myself.
The inn was very large, with a ten-meter-long wooden cashier counter. A shopkeeper was sitting there doing her makeup, and in front of her were two lazy shop assistants. It was very deserted at the moment. There were almost no guests.
It was very obvious that everyone had just arrived here and had almost no money, so naturally no one wanted to stay in the hotel.
Barbara strode in and asked politely, "Boss, how do I stay here?"
The shopkeeper looked up and said coldly, "A normal room costs ten copper coins a day, two silver coins a month, an upper room costs thirty copper coins a day, seven silver coins a month, and a private courtyard is more expensive."
Barbara thought to herself that she had five gold coins, which should be more valuable than silver coins. However, she didn't know how the money was converted here, so she didn't want to ask. She opened the small cloth bag, took out a gold coin, threw it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Let's book four ordinary rooms. For now... just book for two days."
When the shopkeeper saw the gold coins, his eyes lit up and he nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
Then he shouted, "Little Guizi and Little Fuzi, why don't you come over quickly to entertain the guests?"
The two lazy shop assistants immediately ran over, nodding and bowing.
"Sir, I want to rent four ordinary rooms for two days for eighty copper coins. Take them. I will give you ninety-nine silver coins and twenty copper coins."
He found a large pile of copper and silver coins and gave them to Barbara.
When Barbara heard this, she immediately understood how the currency in this world was converted. It was very obvious that one gold coin was equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin was equivalent to one hundred copper coins.
It seems that one gold coin is quite valuable. Even if you rent a room for one person, one gold coin can cover the cost for a whole year.
Four rooms were booked and the three girls were called in. All three girls widened their eyes and looked at Barbara in disbelief.
Barbara smiled and said, "Don't look at me so strangely. I was just lucky and was rewarded with five gold coins, haha."
The young woman Bai Lan cheered and screamed, "I want to drink, Barbara, you have to get me some wine."
Barbara felt a headache and quickly pulled the crazy woman into the room.
The so-called ordinary room is a general place with a bed for resting. Apart from the bed, there is only a table, two chairs and nothing else.
Barbara still showed a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. The four rooms were all connected and adjacent to each other, one for each person.
The first thing the three girls, young and old, did when they moved into the house was to ask the clerk to boil some water so that they could take a bath. For this purpose, Barbara took out a few more copper coins and sent the two clerks away.
But in the process of boiling water, there are other things to do.
The three girls were silent and dragged Barbara to the "Nantian Tailor Shop"
The tops of the three girls were already tattered and in tatters, but luckily they had the colonial costumes to cover up their beauty. But they couldn't always look like this, so they had to buy these tops.
What is sold in this tailor shop is certainly not colonial costumes, but general tops, hats, gloves, shoes and other items related to wearing, with various styles for men and women.
