Leaving the backyard with the drawings, Zhong Chao shook his head thinking about his master's final reminder:
"Master has been researching for several years and found nothing. He also told me not to have high expectations. The Star Sea Secret Scroll should be extremely incomplete. However, although it is incomplete, it is at least a clue."
After obtaining the drawings, Zhong Chao did not look at them immediately. Instead, he returned to the courtyard first and hid the drawings and notes. Then, he left the martial arts hall with Zong Sheng and Di Hua and entered Jujiang City.
As for Jiang Liang... Zhong Chao needs someone to help him take care of other registered disciples and assign tasks, so he can only keep him.
Moreover, he had already taken Jiang Liang out of the martial arts gym once yesterday, and today it was the turn of the other two.
After leaving the martial arts hall, he was instantly greeted by the bustling crowds and the noise of various vendors.
"We are selling steamed buns, freshly baked big meat buns..."
"Candied Haw Lu..."
Zong Sheng and Di Hua were instantly fascinated by this long-lost sense of life.
Zhong Chao, on the other hand, also took a deep breath at the martial arts school gate with a somewhat emotional expression on his face.
“It feels really comfortable to have free access!”
After feeling the atmosphere of life and freedom, the second thing Zhong Chao felt was the class differences in Jujiang City.
The Vajra Martial Arts Hall occupies a very special location. It is at the junction of the aristocratic area and the civilian area in the inner city of Jujiang City.
Therefore, when Zhong Chao came out, he immediately saw the different lifestyles of the inner city and the common people.
Living in a city is not easy. In order to survive, people in urban areas come and go in a hurry and dress very simply.
At the same time, most of the things sold here are food and daily necessities, and most of the people doing business are hawkers.
The inner city is completely different. The people there are dressed in gorgeous clothes and look leisurely. The things they sell are mainly treasures, restaurants, brothels and other luxurious entertainment.
Moreover, Zhong Chao also saw some sergeants guarding the streets at the entrance to the inner city. Some disheveled or simple people would be blocked by them.
"Ordinary people can't even get in. The class gap is really huge."
Zhong Supernatural was able to enter the inner city, but after one glance, he looked away and took Zong Sheng and Jiang Liang to a market in the civilian area.
The inner city is not the territory of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall, but is controlled by the government and powerful people.
——Although gangs are rampant in Jujiang City and there are martial arts gyms everywhere, the real control of the town is the government and the powerful people living in the inner city. There are even many gangs in the outer city who are the black gloves supported by the powerful people in the inner city.
Under such circumstances, naturally no gangster would dare to go wild in the inner city. Correspondingly, the Vajra Martial Arts Hall could not 'protect' the inner city.
…
Taking Zong Sheng, Di Hua, and Zhong Chao together, they finally entered a snack street. The place was extremely bustling, full of people, and all kinds of tempting snack stalls one after another. Looking at this lively and prosperous scene, Zong Sheng
I couldn't help but laugh.
"With so many people, this street is definitely very prosperous... Dachao, the owner entrusts this street to you. He is very optimistic about you."
In response to this, Zhong Chao nodded:
"The owner is really nice to me."
Taking Zong Sheng and Di Hua, the three of them walked around the snack street. Zhong Chao also bought countless snacks along the way.
——There are still advantages to having a big stomach. The super digestion ability allows him to eat everything he wants to eat without worrying about gaining weight.
One thing to note is that yesterday, Zhong Chao took Jiang Liang here and said hello to the stall owners here, telling them that he would be responsible for collecting the protection fees from now on.
Therefore, almost all the stall owners on this street knew him. When he took the things, these stall owners waved their hands and said they didn't need to pay him.
In a way, this can be considered a benefit.
Those with a darker heart can even increase the protection fee collected by martial arts schools to squeeze out more profits.
"What I squeeze out does not need to be handed over to the martial arts gym. As long as I increase it by a little more than 10%, my income can be doubled."
This idea is very tempting.
However, looking at the vicissitudes of the faces of those stall owners, and thinking about how busy they were working from dawn to dusk, but had to pay taxes first, and then pay protection fees, leaving little money a year, Zhong Chao really couldn't feel comfortable taking it for nothing.
"Forget it, I won't snatch those three melons and two dates from the hands of the common people."
"Uncle, take it, I don't want to ruin the reputation of Vajra Martial Arts School."
"well?"
Seeing Zhong Chao's leaving figure and the copper coins in his hand, the stall owner was stunned for a long time. Finally, a somewhat suppressed but also somewhat excited voice rang out: "Great, God bless us, we have someone here.
Good guy!"
"..."
If you can pay normally, you are a good person, which shows how bad the atmosphere in this world is.
This also made Zhong Chao understand one thing - his master was quite chivalrous, and these words were not a mockery.
Compared to other martial arts gyms and the powerful, the Vajra Martial Arts Gym is really good.
…
He took the two of them to eat... After walking around and getting familiar with the surrounding environment, Zhong Chao said: "This street is not far from the King Kong Martial Arts Hall, and usually no one makes trouble. However, those who should be kept should still stay.
One person, from now on, I will have to trouble the three of you to rotate here."
"Haha, what's the trouble? We should be the ones thanking you. Many people in the martial arts school can't figure it out."
Di Hua: "Yeah... I like it here. There are a lot of delicious food, and you don't have to get beaten here."
Seeing that the three of them were willing to come out, Zhong Chao also breathed a sigh of relief. He was going to practice martial arts underwater and had no time to stay here.
Thinking of something, Zhong Chao warned:
"Don't take other people's things randomly... This kind of behavior will also ruin the reputation of the martial arts school. Also, although there is a high probability that nothing will happen, if someone makes trouble, don't impulsively beat him or her to death. Use your identity as a disciple of the martial arts school to suppress it first.
Let them sell the Vajra Martial Arts Hall to save face. If it doesn't work, go to me and let me handle it."
Seeing Zhong Chao's caution, the two of them nodded immediately.
"Understood, Dachao, we all listen to you."
After talking about some precautions, he found that the two of them were very interested in this place, so Zhong Chao left the two of them here while he went to the nearby street and came to a blacksmith shop.
"Dong dong."
Knocking on the table, Zhong Chao said directly:
"Boss, is my customized item ready?"
"It's you. The Damu...zi...you want...the bullet has been made. Here it is."
While handing the two boxes to Zhong Chao, the blacksmith master said: "The name of this hidden weapon is very strange. Also, do you really don't need a flying knife? We at Hongmen Blacksmith are good at making hidden weapons, no matter what.
Throwing knives and darts are the best in the area. Moreover, the lethality of these hidden weapons is in no way stronger than the bullets and bullets you specially made."
"No, I think these dum bombs are stronger than armor-piercing bullets!"
