Chapter 316: Desert Forest 2
Su Qingyun hurried to the bedside. She first reached out to touch the silver-haired boy's forehead, then pulled up his hand and touched it.
"He seems to have a fever." Su Qingyun said to Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe did not touch the boy's body, but nodded as if he believed in Su Qingyun's judgment.
"Is there a hospital in Yunze?" Xu Xinghe asked Su Qingyun. This was his second time coming to Yunze. He didn't even have his own safe house, so he knew very little about Yunze's situation.
Su Qingyun actually didn't know much about it. She only knew that Yunze had factories, taxis, and low-rent housing for trial participants.
Thinking of low-rent housing, Su Qingyun thought of one person, that is Xu Xinghe’s contracted god Yu Liang.
Although Yu Liang's identity as someone close to Xu Xinghe is questionable, it seems that Yu Liang is mostly helpful to them at the moment.
Su Qingyun decided to find Yu Liang.
She knew where Yu Liang lived.
After calling a taxi again, Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe went to Yunze's low-rent housing area.
In the turbid air and sewage-filled streets, Su Qingyun found the small house that she had rented for Yu Liang last time.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Instead, a young girl with tattoos all over her body told Su Qingyun, "He's out."
"Do you know where he went?"
The girl twisted her fingers, which was a gesture of asking for money.
Su Qingyun took out a ten-yuan ghost money and a potato from her bag, "These are all I have."
Of course she has more than that, but in a place like this, it's best not to show off your wealth.
The girl took it with some disgust. She kept the paper money but threw the potato to a passing Aboriginal.
"You guys are really poor, you guys want to find out about things with just ten coins." The girl snorted again.
Su Qingyun hoped she would face reality. "The low-rent housing here costs one hundred ghost coins a month. Ten ghost coins is already the highest price I can offer."
"It's more than that now. Did you just come out of the dungeon and don't know the market situation?"
"What's the market?"
"The system has closed the trial-takers' channel. Now, if you exit the dungeon and return to the real world, you will never be able to enter the dungeon again."
Isn't it a great thing that you can never enter the dungeon again?
In the past, Yang Bingyan let Qin Shu trick her in order to avoid entering the dungeon. Now that no more trial-takers are being captured to enter the dungeon, those who didn't get a number or passed the level at S-level and returned to reality must be very happy.
"This is a good thing, but what does it have to do with ghost money?" Su Qingyun immediately thought, "Could it be that the people who left gave you all the ghost money, and now Yunze is experiencing inflation?"
"No, it's because some organizations have started buying up ghost money. We don't need to enter the black market to trade. The ghost money we get from the dungeon can be directly exchanged for real money."
Su Qingyun looked at Xu Xinghe. She wanted to know if Fanxing Group was making the acquisition.
Xu Xinghe shook his head, indicating that he did not.
Su Qingyun asked the girl, "Who is buying it?"
The girl shrugged. "I don't know who's buying it. You can go to their agency and ask. There are exchange offices all over the street now, and it's very convenient to return to the real world from Yunze."
"Very convenient?"
"Yes, but there's one thing. Once you go back, you can't come back. The ghost money in the fantasy world is very tight right now, and the rent has already increased. Ten ghost money can't do anything at all."
These situations really caught Su Qingyun off guard.
The girl also told Su Qingyun, "If you don't have money, it's safe here, but if you have money, it's very dangerous here."
The girl looked at the clothes Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe were wearing and said, "You don't look like you don't have money."
"We just arrived and we really have no money." Xu Xinghe replied.
"Gold digger?" The girl gave Xu Xinghe an identity and nodded. "Because I can go back freely now, Yunze has a lot of gold diggers coming here. They are all poor people who can't make it in the real world. There are very few who dress as well as you. Be careful, they are here to rob you."
"Robbed in Yunze?"
"Of course not. Yunze is committing robbery and it's against the law. They will rob in the dungeon."
"What about you?" Su Qingyun asked the girl.
"I'm about to go back. I don't want to stay in such a smoky place. Although I don't look like a good person, I'm a freelance musician in the real world. I have no desire for money."
You have no desire to answer their questions but still want ghost money?
The girl seemed to be aware of this problem. She smiled and said, "To earn some living expenses. After all, I have been here for too long. I have to make a living when I go back."
After saying that, she pulled a suitcase out of the room and prepared to leave.
Su Qingyun stopped her and said, "Little sister, you still haven't told me where the person who lives next door to you is now?"
"He's been hired as a mercenary. He should be at the exchange center right now."
Yu Liang was indeed at the exchange center because a middle-aged man hired him as a bodyguard.
A middle-aged man got some ghost money in the copy and wanted to exchange it before returning to the real world.
When Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe found Yu Liang, he had just finished work. Yu Liang was very happy to see Xu Xinghe and Su Qingyun.
"You guys finally came out!"
"Yes, the haunted house copy only lasts seven days." Xu Xinghe replied.
Yu Liang said, "Although it's only seven days, the entire rule has changed. Yunze is now in chaos, and the chief executive will have his hands full."
Su Qingyun asked a key question, "Why did Yunze suddenly have so many exchange agencies?"
"Yes, they increased overnight. Since the chief executive was away, no one investigated how they got there."
Yu Liang also told Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe that the exchange agency was very rich and had money from all kinds of countries. Moreover, as long as the money was exchanged at the exchange agency, it was legal income and did not need to be taxed.
"What's the exchange rate?"
"1:5"
Although this ratio is lower than the 1:10 in the black market, it is safe, legal, and fast, which is indeed extraordinary.
While Su Qingyun was talking to Yu Liang, another bus drove over and a group of men and women got off the bus. They must have come to pan for gold.
The already crooked streets of Yunze are now even more crowded.
Su Qingyun thought of the silver-haired boy who was still running a fever, so she asked Yu Liang if there was a doctor here.
"Yes, the consultation fee is very high."
"It doesn't matter. You have to see a doctor if you are sick."
Yu Liang helped Su Qingyun find a doctor, who was in his fifties and should be a human who settled here.
He examined the silver-haired boy and said he had a cold, but he had no medicine.
Medicine is a scarce substance in Yunze.
It would be easy to confirm that it was a cold, as there were medicines among the items Su Qingyun placed in Xu Xinghe's space.
She prepared it for her father at that time, and now it comes in handy.
Su Qingyun fed the silver-haired boy some medicine. It was already lunchtime.
Huang Xiaoya has already produced a small amount of mushrooms and potatoes, and she cooked some at noon.
Su Qingyun asked Yu Liang to have dinner in the safe house.
But Yu Liang's eyes were always on the silver-haired boy.
"Do you want to say that he is a stranger?" Su Qingyun asked.
"No, he's not a stranger. He looks more like someone I knew before entering the dungeon."
