Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"You went to so much trouble to come up with this ritual of summoning sacrifices, just to save money. How about this? I just happen to have something to do here, so I'll hire two professional construction workers to help me with the work. In this way, I gain time to do the work, and you gain more powerful and professional workers. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
After hearing this, Tu Guan's eyes suddenly brightened, but he still hesitated and said:
"No, how can two construction workers compare to you? Besides, what if you go out of your way to find the worst workers?"
Du Yuqi took a look at the earthen jar, and then said meaningfully:
"How about this? I'll just pay you, Mr. Tuguan, and then you can hire someone yourself. That's fine, right? Of course, I have a lot of things to do, so you have to ensure that I stay on the mainland as long as possible."
After hearing this, the earthen jar pondered for a while, and then realized that there was no trap inside, so he said straightforwardly;
"Well, five silver coins, plus your willingness to give up my sacrifice this time, will do. You should know that my sacrifice this time is a reward from the God of Contract. You can stay here for a full five and a half days!"
Du Yuqi had inquired about it a long time ago. This earthenware pocket jar is similar to buying lottery tickets. Although it is said that "never empty" and there is a chance of getting very precious magic equipment, in fact, most of them are full of scrap metal after opening. Simply put, it is similar to buying lottery tickets.
The five silver coins were just an exorbitant price that Tuguan was asking for. This price was enough to hire five construction workers for a week's work. However, the gold coins on Du Yuqi were stolen from the clown and came easily, so he didn't care much and agreed without hesitation.
Before, when Du Yuqi was shopping in the store, he asked about the prices, exchanged the gold coins in the dimensional ring for dozens of silver coins, and then took them out to pay. After the two of them made the deal, Tuguan was of course very happy, but Du Yuqi felt relieved and immediately turned around and left.
Hettonmar is a clean and white city, but there are also some sky blue roofs dotted among them, which contrast beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. And because the city is also full of green trees and it is the flowering season of the sky trees, there is a faint sweet fragrance floating in the air, which makes people feel very happy.
After Du Yuqi arrived in the city, he realized that the towering building was indeed a water tower, and the device on it was a crystal-driven pumping system. No wonder he had never seen it before.
In the short time just now, Du Yuqi has found out that Hedonmar is divided into four major areas. The central square is in the middle of the city, the municipal street is to the south, the back street is to the north, and the old city is in the west.
Just like every city has a dark and ugly side, the slums are located in the back streets and the old town. Those who are interested can choose to go to the black market there to pan for gold - of course, there is a greater possibility of being cheated - while the City Hall and the Central Square show the most orderly and beautiful side of Hutton Mar.
For ordinary citizens, the most commonly used means of transportation is the underground Magadha. This type of transportation, which has only emerged in the last fifty years, is powered by crystal energy. It travels at high speed in the extensive underground lines of Hettonmar and stops at various stations.
Although this convenient and fast means of transportation is also called Magadha, it is very different from the Magadha flying in the sky hundreds of years ago. Only its appearance has been preserved. The normal Magadha looks like a huge airship, and the overall structure is divided into two parts. The upper part is an olive-shaped airbag that provides buoyancy, and the lower part is a cabin for carrying passengers or people.
The underground Magadha used by Huttonmar combines the two into one. The overall shape is olive, and most of the space is used to carry guests. An anti-gravity magic circle is arranged underneath. This magic circle is continuously powered by colorless small crystals. In this way, the underground Magadha can float on its own and stably lift the loaded slide to a height of seven millimeters from the track.
Don't underestimate these seven millimeters. With this seven millimeters of height, the underground Magadha has completed the qualitative change of "suspension". Therefore, it only needs to install a most basic thruster to allow it to fly in the underground passage at a maximum speed of eighty kilometers.
An underground Magadha usually has 200 seats and a maximum load capacity of 500 people, so the ticket price per passenger is very cheap.
At least half of the underground Magadha's lines will pass through the same station, which is also a very famous place in Hettonmar, called Li Hettonmar. It has vast underground buildings, which is at least one-fifth the size of Hettonmar on the surface.
Because there is an underground river winding through Li Huttonmar, there are no problems with water, air, and sewage. Moreover, because it is built underground, it is not affected by day or night, wind or rain, and the shops inside are open 24 hours a day.
Crystal technology is widely used in all aspects of this underground city. It can be said that the four giants that are vigorously developing crystal technology today: Norton Technology Research Institute, Kallet Research Institute, GBL Human Development Research Center, and Sman Industries all contributed to the construction of this underground city. Now it has become an important area of Hutton Mar. In Du Yuqi's plan, he will go for a visit if he has time.
Because there are quite a few tourists who come to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hutton Mar, eight public carriage routes have been set up in the city. There are a total of fifty-four carriages to provide public transportation services for decent people, ensuring that a carriage running along a fixed route passes the station every ten minutes. Of course, the fare is not expensive, but it is definitely not cheap. Ordinary citizens can grit their teeth and take a ride once, but they definitely cannot afford it for daily travel.
Du Yuqi stopped at a station at this time. There was a store next to it selling something similar to cold drinks, red and green colors splashing in tall glass cups. It was called Coccaro. Du Yuqi happened to have only gold coins and silver coins on him, so in order to have change for the carriage, he went to the store and bought a cup.
After taking a sip, I realized that it was made by chopped fresh shrimp, conch, grouper, papaya, cool thorn fruit and other ingredients, mixed together, and added some kind of sauce to freeze. The taste was very unique and fresh. Although it was my first time to experience it, it was very delicious. Du Yuqi felt like drinking the rock salt cheese milk tea at the school gate for the first time, a unique and pleasant experience.
