The two of them walked forward in the wilderness carrying their own supplies, and at the same time used the tools in their hands to constantly push away the weeds blocking the road. Qianlong was experienced and walked in front, judging the direction as he walked, and adjusting his route from time to time.
Seeing how hard he was struggling, Tang Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Do you usually judge the direction this way? Do you have a map or compass?"
Qianlong shook his head and said helplessly: "Maps are very unreliable, extremely expensive, and difficult to obtain. Except for some fixed places, other places change from time to time, such as this
Even if you set a fire to burn the weeds under your feet, they will still be back to their original state the next day. On the originally empty grass, a large number of buildings may appear at any time. An ordinary compass is also useless.
After taking it out, it just keeps spinning around and it's impossible to determine the direction."
After all, in this environment, only experience is the most trustworthy.
They walked and stopped, and when they got really tired, they sat down and rested for a while. When it was almost dark, the two finally came to a narrow path.
The path seems to be frequently traveled by people, so weeds cannot grow.
Qianlong told Tang Zhen that if you keep going along this road, you will lead to a tower city.
This building city is called Black Rock City and is very powerful. The main building has twenty floors. There are four annex buildings around the main building, with a height of 20 meters and a total of five floors. They are the main defense components of the main building.
A powerful army is stationed on the floor, responsible for guarding the safety of the city.
Near the outskirts of Loucheng, there is a town established by wanderers. While earning wealth for Loucheng, they also indirectly enjoy the protection of Loucheng. The wanderers trade items and information here while waiting to join Loucheng.
opportunity.
Because monsters would come out to wander together after dark, and their numbers would increase strangely. If they were unlucky, they would even appear out of thin air. So the two of them sped up their pace and finally arrived at the market before nightfall.
Tang Zhen looked at the homeless town from a distance and found that it was built on a hillside and covered a very large area. The weeds within several kilometers of the gathering place had been cleared, and the view was very open.
The wall made of boulders and logs appeared to be very strong, definitely over five meters high, and there were many wanderers patrolling it with weapons in hand.
The two hurriedly and slowly entered the town at the last moment before it closed its gates. After paying two brain beads each, the guards allowed them to freely enter the town within a month.
The Wanderer Town is very large, covering an area of several hectares, and looks like a simple fortress!
Unfortunately, this is not a building city allowed by the laws of heaven, and it does not enjoy any of the conveniences that a building city has. However, everything has pros and cons, because once a building city is established, these wanderers who have not obtained the resident qualifications will not be able to enter it, so the wanderers
The owners of the town will lose a large amount of wealth and income.
If you want to make all the homeless people taken in by the market into residents, then the level of the building city must be very high. However, each time the building city is upgraded, it requires countless resources. And during the upgrade of the building city, you will suffer every time.
Once the monster's siege fails to defend the city, all previous efforts will be in vain.
After investing countless resources and exhausting efforts, you may lose everything in the end. In contrast, running the Wanderer Town is naturally free. Moreover, once monsters attack, the Wanderer Town can also provide a large number of combatants, and at the same time form a third group.
A line of defense.
I believe that Black Rock City established this homeless town near Lou City out of this consideration.
The only drawback is that monsters will attack here from time to time, and the guard work every night is more like an offensive and defensive battle. Ordinary monsters can be easily dealt with, but if you are unlucky enough to encounter a powerful monster, the town is likely to be destroyed.
disaster.
It's just that wanderers don't have many choices. Sometimes they know that it's not ideal, but they have no choice but to do it.
This is the truth of survival, you must adapt to life and destiny, but let life and destiny accommodate you!
The controllers of the homeless town also have a group of armed forces. From time to time, soldiers wearing simple armors with serious and indifferent expressions can be seen on the streets, looking at every homeless person they see with bright eyes.
Tang Zhen carefully observed the weapons and equipment of these soldiers, and found that most of the weapons were of average quality, and the armor only protected important areas. It was not known whether it could block the piercing and slashing swords.
But compared to those wanderers who only carried short knives and iron rods and wore messy metal and wood pieces as armor, these soldiers were already considered well-equipped.
At this time in the evening, there are still many homeless people moving around in the market. They are either coming in and out of some simple houses, or gathering near the fire pit to chat. In addition, there are also some homeless people holding weapons.
The person, who had accepted the employment of the market, was standing on the wall of the market with a serious expression, guarding against possible incoming monsters.
Not far from the homeless market, a huge building city covering an extremely large area stood in the night, looking like a ferocious monster.
As long as the wanderers in the market raise their heads, they can see the faint light coming from the windows of the building. Most of their eyes are shining with longing, as if they are imagining that one day they can live there and end the pain of wandering.
Life.
A burst of noise came, and Tang Zhen followed the sound and saw that a group of monsters were trying to attack the market. After ten minutes, the monsters were defeated by the guards, leaving many corpses behind and fled.
When the sun rises tomorrow, these monsters will have their brains removed, and then their bodies will be cleaned up by wandering scavengers.
If you look outside carefully at this moment, you will find that there are still many monsters wandering outside the town. They are still trying to attack here, but they are afraid of the flames and swords of the wanderers, but they are reluctant to leave.
When depressed, he could only roar.
Qianlong was very familiar with this place. He led the way and led Tang Zhen into a large two-story adobe building.
This is one of the cheaper hotels in the town. It looks low and dark, and there is an extremely weird smell in the air.
Behind the wooden counter in front of the fire pit, a woman with a relatively clean dress and a somewhat charming face was sitting there. Next to her, two strong men were sitting, drinking bad wine from wooden cups.
After seeing Tang Zhen and the two, the two strong men looked at them for a few times and then ignored them.
"Two people, stay for three days."
"One person is given half a first-level brain bead for one day, and two meals are provided. Three first-level brain beads are provided for three days. Pay the money, two handsome young men!"
As the daughter spoke, she leaned forward, exposing her white breasts. As she moved, an unfathomable ravine appeared in front of the two of them, and there was a faint scent of meat.
Tang Zhen glanced and said nothing. Qianlong also paid attention to the woman's flirtatious glances and teasing, and nodded expressionlessly.
After paying three first-level brain beads as accommodation fee, the two of them got a piece of whole grain pancake and wild vegetable soup for dinner. This is the food quota provided to the guests of the hotel every day. After the two of them finished their dinner, they went into the narrow room separately.
Rest in a dark, smelly little house.
Lying on the bed covered with hay, Tang Zhen calmed down, checked his surroundings, and took out the bag containing the brain beads. He slowly put the brain beads and the mobile phone together, just as he expected.
Like that, all the brain beads were absorbed by the mobile phone in an instant.
As the absorption of the brain beads was completed, a new change appeared on the screen of his mobile phone. A number '2oo' was displayed under the teleportation icon, and it also reminded him that the total number of gold coins he owned could be used for more than 200 round-trip teleportations!
In his personal information, the total amount of gold coins has reached more than 13,000, which is enough to make him excited. He really wants to try downloading some software right away, but for security reasons, he still decides first
Decided to try teleporting back home first.
Holding the bag containing cash and precious metals in his hands, he turned to the transfer option on his phone. He carefully clicked on the icon and tried to activate the transfer function. In an instant, his eyes flashed, and he felt as if he had passed through a tunnel. Tang Zhen went smoothly.
returned to his home.
After carefully looking at the surrounding environment and confirming that this was his home, Tang Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This journey is so thrilling and weird, even if you tell others, no one will believe it. Of course, Tang Zhen will never tell others, after all, this is a matter of life and fortune.
Now that he is back home, Tang Zhen can safely take out his phone and try it. First, he clicks on the teleportation option and confirms that each teleportation will consume five first-level brain beads.
If converted into gold coins, it should be fifty gold coins, and one hundred gold coins would be needed to teleport back and forth.
Then he clicked on the application store and began to select the software he needed.
When making the selection, he made a comparison and thought that there are currently four functions that are most suitable for him. At this time, they are the primary map, which can display the surrounding terrain and monsters with a radius of one hundred meters.
Fundus projection, the visible screen image is projected in front of the eyes, and the mobile phone can be operated through induction.
The primary monster detector can display information about monsters that cannot reach level 3 of the owner.
Micro storage space can open up a dimensional space with a storage volume of one cubic meter.
If he downloads all four applications, the gold coins he just obtained will be consumed, but compared to his wealth and life, these investments are nothing, and these applications can also help him live better and safer in another world.
Survive.
After clicking to confirm the download, the gold coins in the account were quickly deducted. After a few breaths, all four softwares were installed. Seeing that the originally empty mobile phone screen was finally filled with a piece, Tang Zhen suddenly felt
