Chapter 44 White City
White City.
A high wall made of white stones is more than one degree higher than the Black City and even occupies a larger area.
There is a huge light shield covering the White City. From a distance, it looks noble, majestic and inviolable. You can tell at a glance that the air inside is very good!
Looking from a distance, I found that there were quite a few people queuing.
Jiang Mian walked over and found that there was also a notice on the wall, so he went to read it first.
She took a quick glance and found that it was almost the same as the announcement in Black City. Except for the higher prices, everything else was similar. There were also special exceptions, such as healers, doctors, and scientific researchers who received preferential treatment.
If you live there permanently, it will cost 50,000 star coins per person per month.
Jiang Mian calculated that there were six people in total, including five orcs and herself, so she would have to pay 300,000 star coins a month.
However, her five orcs are all quite rich, so they can just pay their own dues in the future, and she will pay her own, which means she will pay 50,000 star coins per month.
After Jiang Mian figured it out, she went to queue up, and several orcs followed her to queue up.
She was waiting in line quietly.
There was a commotion in front, and a boy with rabbit ears was kicked over suddenly. The person in front of Jiang Mian dodged instantly, and the boy with rabbit ears fell right at Jiang Mian's feet.
Two pink lop-eared rabbit ears, a pair of pink eyes glistening with tears. The boy wore a pink mask on his face, so his appearance could not be seen. Only a pink cross earring was worn on the exposed earlobe, swaying slightly in the light.
Jiang Mian paused, and saw the rabbit-eared boy struggling to get up, holding his waist that was hurt by the kick, and walked step by step to the woman next to the public notice wall, knelt in front of the woman, and lay down with his whole body, and slowly grabbed the woman's trouser leg in an extremely humble manner.
"Please, please, master, don't abandon Qixu." The skinny rabbit boy knelt on the ground and begged humbly.
There were five male orcs standing in front of the long-haired woman, each of them was taller, stronger and more powerful than the rabbit boy.
The woman simply kicked the rabbit boy away, crossed her arms over her chest, and walked past him, saying coldly, "I don't have that many star coins anymore. Either you use your remaining energy to find the next owner, sell yourself and give me the star coins, or you die outside of White City."
The long-haired woman said as she walked past Jiang Mian and went to the back of the line to queue.
The rabbit boy seemed to really realize that the long-haired woman had the final say.
His eyes seemed to be searching aimlessly among the people in the queue.
This team includes both humans and orcs.
However, orcs do not have the qualifications to buy and sell orcs, even free orcs do not have this qualification. Only humans are qualified to buy and sell orcs and keep them in captivity.
The chip in the rabbit boy's brain still recognized the long-haired woman as its owner. If he wanted to survive, he had to find the next owner to buy him. Only when the chip transferred its owner would he truly change his owner.
Otherwise, as the long-haired woman said, he would either find his next master or die out here.
The rabbit boy started begging the humans in front of him one by one.
He knelt humbly beside a short-haired woman and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, are you willing to buy me?"
Perhaps because Baicheng is a big city with good air and facilities, Jiang Mian saw several women in this team.
"Oh? Are you good-looking?" The short-haired woman asked very directly. It was obvious that she must be rich and could support an orc.
Nowadays, everyone queuing outside is wearing an oxygen mask, so you can’t tell who is good-looking or not, you can only see their figures.
The rabbit boy has a thin figure, short pink hair, and wears a white shirt and black pants. He looks clean and youthful.
"...It looks good." The rabbit boy responded softly.
"Are you still a virgin?" the short-haired woman asked bluntly.
He asked it in public, and indeed he did not care about the feelings of the lowly orcs.
"...Yes." The rabbit boy's voice was hoarse.
"Okay, how many star coins do you want?" asked the short-haired woman.
The long-haired woman in the queue behind Jiang Mian spoke up: "It will cost 200,000 star coins to buy him."
"So expensive? I can't afford it. I'll only offer 50,000 star coins." The short-haired woman spoke slowly.
The air became quiet for a moment.
Jiang Mian treated himself as a passerby, watching this farce as if it had nothing to do with him.
Not to mention that she doesn't have much money now. The city fee is 50,000 star coins per month, and the accommodation fee and various other expenses are not included. It must be a huge expense.
She was afraid that she couldn't even support herself.
Such scenes of buying and selling orcs seemed very common in the original owner's memory.
As long as the owner wants to buy or sell, the orc can be bought or sold at will.
"The minimum is 100,000 star coins." The long-haired woman took a step back.
"Ah, then I can't afford it, little pink rabbit, you'll have to find the next one." The short-haired woman casually waved to the rabbit boy, paid the money and went into the city.
The rabbit boy's thin body looked even thinner.
He begged one by one.
"Sir, can you buy me for 100,000 star coins?"
"Ma'am, can you buy me for 100,000 star coins?"
But what he got in response was either a kick towards him or a cold insult.
"Get out of here, don't be an eyesore."
"Get away from me, you beast!"
…
When Jiang Mian saw this scene, he frowned slightly. He was really not used to such a scene.
Whether it is the current orc trafficking or the future trafficking of humans by orcs, Jiang Mian feels uncomfortable.
But this is the era, and Jiang Mian cannot change it at all.
"Madam, can you buy me for one hundred thousand star coins?" The rabbit boy knelt in front of her and crawled on the ground. His back under his shirt was so thin that the bones were visible. He was extremely thin.
His voice seemed to be getting hoarser and more difficult from asking for help so many times.
Jiang Mian was silent for a long time.
Just when the rabbit boy thought Jiang Mian would not buy him, he slowly and with difficulty said, "Excuse me..."
But the last syllable was not uttered.
The woman asked calmly, "What can you do?"
This question made the rabbit boy stunned, because the people in front of him were either asking about his appearance or deliberately teasing him and asking him some extremely embarrassing questions.
"I can cook, wash clothes, and do a lot of housework." The rabbit boy quickly agreed.
Jiang Mian was slightly moved when he heard this.
The five orcs will leave eventually, and she can't always order Rong Fei to cook.
Jiang Mian also has to do experiments on a regular basis, so she has no time to take care of her daily life. She originally planned to hire a person or an orc to help her with housework.
Now it’s just right to buy an orc to do housework, which can be regarded as saving the other party, killing two birds with one stone.
Chi Lin said with a smile: "Hey, Lizard, he's going to steal your job."
"Don't confuse me with him." Rong Fei glanced at Chi Lin indifferently.
