Zhang Mu was feeling extremely helpless now. He wanted to explain, but the excuse he gave to Li Pangsan was that he wanted to go in and find clean girls there to relieve his stress.
The low-level evolvers wanted to sneak into the inner city only for this purpose, so he naturally had to pretend to be exposed by Li Pangsan and said with a knowing smile, "Life should be enjoyed to the fullest, why not enjoy it if there is any? Although it is like this now, my way of collecting herbs is still there, so I can still survive, right? I don't have a family to support, and I can save these Yuanjing as interest."
Li Pangsan squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Mu and said, "I really didn't realize that you are a sex-hungry ghost. I'm probably talking about you. Your arm was just broken and you act like nothing happened. You still want to go in and play."
Zhang Mu laughed, clinked glasses with Li Pangsan and drank them all in one gulp, finishing off the bottle of premium Moutai that Li Pangsan had treasured for a year. Recalling the spicy taste, he couldn't help but slap the glass on the table and said, "Great wine, I finally got to drink it today."
Fatty Li also casually threw his chopsticks on the table, leaned back in his chair and said, "Life is so boring. It's fine to live in the outer city, but I don't even dare to step out of Shanxi City. I really envy you herbalists who can go around and see the world. Now my life, apart from watching over this store, is to buy goods. It's so annoying."
"We collect herbs to earn money at the risk of our lives. Are you sure you want such freedom? Besides, you are a big boss. You can call the shots in the outer city. Just by sitting in the store, you can earn a large amount of Yuanjing. Isn't that comfortable enough?" Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows and said jokingly to him.
Li Pangsan spat on the ground and complained to Zhang Mu, "You also said that this is in the outer city. If it was in the inner city, he would be just a delivery boy. If it weren't for my goods, they would be too lazy to get them themselves, and I might not have a job."
"Strength. If you don't have strength, you'll just be treated like a dog, ordered around like that, with no way out."
This Fatty Li has done well among ordinary people without any abilities, otherwise Zhang Mu wouldn't have to rely on his connections to sneak across the border. But just as he said, no matter how much wealth he has, he can't stand in front of a high-level evolver.
, it's just a fatter insect.
It's okay in the city, as there are constraints of the gathering place, but if you dare to step out of the city gate, not to mention whether you will be attacked by mutant beasts, there will definitely be humans who will eye his property and the pockets full of Yuan Crystals.
This is why Li Pangsan dared not step out of Shanxi City. Money is one thing, but if he was controlled, even if he handed over all his belongings, he would most likely end up with his body abandoned in the wilderness.
This is the tragedy of the little people.
Zhang Mu thought of his own situation and didn't want to continue. He quickly changed the subject and said, "When can I go in? I'm almost out after I go to relieve my heat. I'm going to pick some valuable herbs before I'm completely exhausted. I'll come to your place to recuperate."
"Retirement? Haha, OK, come and help me. You probably can't live as carefree as you do now, but I, Li Pangsan, can still guarantee you three meals a day and a hundred second-level crystals a month." Li Pangsan, who was drunk, was now red-faced. He patted his chest and assured Zhang Mu, "I'm not bragging, my treatment is definitely the best in the outer city. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't pay this price to a normal second-level peak evolver."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Pangsan realized that he had said the wrong thing, but when he saw that Zhang Mu was not angry, he quickly restrained himself. It was also this shock that made him less drunk. Thinking of the question Zhang Mu asked just now, he suddenly slapped his forehead, looked at the watch on his wrist, and suddenly squeezed the chair away, sat up, and exclaimed, "Oh no, there is still half an hour to the agreed time. Brother Zhang, let me take you in, still to the old place, Tianshang Renjian. Although it's still the same as before, I won't charge you extra money, but you still have to pay for the cost of entering the inner city this time. After all, a hundred second-level crystals at once, I'm a little bit overwhelmed."
Or is it Heaven on Earth? It just so happens that I don't have to run. The Jiyuan Store in Shanxi City is just behind Heaven on Earth. Although there should be someone monitoring it, the entertainment venue is full of good and bad people. As long as Zhang Mu is careful, no one will recognize him when he enters.
"Okay, I'll keep the account for now. I'll use the herbs to pay it off next time or pay it back together. You said it's getting late now, so let's go now.
Come on, don't delay, it will be too late and you will be in big trouble." Zhang Mu urged Li Pangsan and directly pulled him out.
Fatty Li stopped him and laughed in anger, "You haven't even carried that mutant pig yet, and you want to go to heaven and earth to play? I'd like to remind you kindly, even if you go in to deliver the goods, remember to wash yourself. Even if the girl can't tell your strength, she probably won't pick you up if you smell like that."
"Remember to come back before midnight, otherwise you will have to leave the city tomorrow morning and pay another overnight stay fee."
"I know, I know. This is not the first time." Zhang Mu asked Li Pangsan to point out the location where the mutant pig corpse was placed. He then picked it up with his right hand, placed it on his right shoulder, and walked out steadily.
"As expected of a second-level evolver, even without a hand, he can still easily carry this nearly one-ton pig. Oh, if I could evolve to the second level, I wouldn't be so annoyed now."
Li Pangsan looked at Zhang Mu's gradually departing back, and as the cold wind blew, he began to feel lonely.
Amid the envious gazes of passers-by, Zhang Mu walked to the inner city gate with the token given to him by Li Pangsan, but was stopped by the guards.
It must be said that the smell of this mutant pig was quite strong, causing the third-level guard who was guarding the gate to frown and ask, "Li Pangsan's stuff?"
Zhang Mu nodded lightly without saying anything more. He showed the token hanging on his left arm and was then sent into the inner city with disgust.
The guard didn't take it seriously when he saw Zhang Mu's broken left arm. He saw so many low-level evolvers die every day, so how could he have any thoughts about him? He just cursed in his heart that the goods Li Pangsan brought in this time made him almost vomit the dinner he had just eaten.
Compared to the outer city, the inner city seems very deserted, with almost no people on the streets, because most people are already preparing for the nightlife and would not hang out outside.
Zhang Mu glanced at the busiest street in the center of the inner city, then took a long detour as if he was familiar with the route and entered a hidden courtyard. This was the passage for people like Zhang Mu who delivered goods from the outer city to enter and exit Tian Shang Ren Jian.
