Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 258 Preparations Before Departure 2
To be honest, Zhang Chengcheng was a little surprised that he agreed so quickly.However, although Jia volunteered, Zhang Cheng felt that Jia was not needed for this trip.Unless he turns Jia into a card.Of course, this is impossible. Jia is not a slave now, but also has a wife and son, so it is impossible to wander with the planeswalker.

"I want to take Hu Chen out with me...I have just been appointed as a sergeant, and there is no manpower available in the territory." Zhang Cheng quickly thought of a suitable reason. "But if you're here, I can rest easy."

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Cheng's new territory as a "sergeant" is relatively scattered. Jia accompanied Zhang Cheng to take over all the territories before, so he knows all the details.

Jia was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately overjoyed.Zhang Cheng's meaning is very clear, let him be responsible for staying behind.In this era, it is normal for the lord to lead troops out to fight.And once the lord leaves his territory, the subordinates who stay behind for the lord are definitely the most trusted and capable subordinates of the lord.In other words, the responsibility of staying behind is itself the best proof of the monarch's attitude towards himself.

What Zhang Cheng said meant that he regarded Jia as his most trusted subordinate.

Jia almost burst into tears.Now he also understands that although Huchen's talent is superior to his own, but after all, his background is unknown, and his appointment is halfway through (Jia thinks so), so he is not as trustworthy as himself.Zhang Cheng didn't dare to let the stronger Huchen stay behind.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang Cheng." Jia bowed deeply.

thank youHmm...why do you look so touched?I'm just looking for a reason not to take you away.Zhang Cheng didn't understand it himself.Can it only be said that the brain circuits between the traversers and the natives do not match?

Jia's business is settled, and other things are easier.In this day and age, it was not uncommon for a feudal lord to be away from home for long periods of time.There is a set of established management methods.In fact, Zhang Cheng has lived as a lord in this world for so long, and he deeply feels that the main task of a lord is war.Except for war, everything else can be entrusted or even managed with confidence.

Don't worry about income: In this era, the lord's income is actually very simple. There are two main types. If you change it to the earth, it is the tax in kind and the labor time tax.Both are hard to evade taxes.This is not like the industrial and commercial tax in a civilized society, where you just make a fake account and hide the next sum of money.Last year, the grain income was [-] shi, but this year, if the climate does not change in any way, it suddenly drops to [-] shi... No matter how stupid people are, they will understand that it is wrong.

Most importantly, as a planeswalker, Zhang Cheng doesn't need to be constrained by property issues in this world.Take any stainless steel cup from the earth that you can drink scale from, and you can pass it off as a platinum cup, which is worth two magical wonders.

And he also has a little girl who is also a time traveler to take care of the house.In this way, there is almost nothing to worry about.

After bidding farewell to the others, Zhang Cheng went to the market in the refugee camp instead.There are still quite a few merchants in the market—to be honest, there are a few more than before.Zhang Cheng felt that this should be due to the slowdown of the war situation and the circulation of trade routes.Even in this barbaric age with underdeveloped productive forces, commodity exchange is still a very important economic activity.

I walked around the market, apparently to buy some necessary equipment and supplies for a long journey, but in fact it was just a pretense.After all, how could the tools and equipment of this barbaric era be compared with the earth?That's the benefit of being a planeswalker.But unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng saw an acquaintance.

It's Xia An, and he's come to Kunwu City again.

The last time Zhang Cheng helped him convey a message to Huang Gong, so Xia An, who originally only had a carriage, took a place in the refugee camp.It's really just a literal "take a seat", because in reality he still only has one carriage, just being able to stop and put up a sign in the market area.Well, it was only on the edge of the market before, and now it can finally enter the market.

"Master Zhang Cheng!" Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xia An was overjoyed. "We met again. Sorry, I left in a hurry last time...Because I have already made an appointment with someone, I have to rush to the appointment."

"It's okay." Zhang Cheng didn't care too much.Xia An's equipment... Well, it seems to have changed from before.The carriage should have been repaired, at least some parts were replaced, it looks much newer, and it seems to be bigger than before.Xia An changed into a new set of clothes.In addition, although the things in the car can't be seen clearly, a new horse has been added to pull the cart.That's right, it was originally a single-horse cart, but now it has become a double-horse cart.

In short, it seems that Xia An has changed his shotgun during this period of time, and he has taken on a completely new look.It can be seen from this that traveling business is indeed a very profitable industry. Although the danger is indeed great, and life may be in danger at every turn, but if everything goes well, it will make money very quickly.

"Master Zhang Cheng, I asked many people for you this time, and found a few." Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xia An was clearly prepared.Pull out a few cards from the car.One is "prairie gray wolf", one is "jungle tiger", and the others are wood chips, not cards.Apparently the summoned creature has been killed. "These……"

"A Chinese shellfish." Zhang Cheng directly offered the price.When he first arrived in Xiaxu, he still needed to collect cards to pick up leaks, but now he doesn't need it anymore.Whether it is a wolf or a tiger, in the final analysis they are all cannon fodder.He has no shortage of such cards now.Those wood chips are even more worthless to him now.

Xia An's expression changed.He obviously has a lot of expectations for these cards.But a businessman is always good at reading words, so he immediately understands that the price is not negotiable.If you want to bargain, keep it for yourself.

In the past, a single card could sell for one upper shell, but now it can only be sold for one middle shell... This gap is a bit big.

"Mr. Zhang Cheng, if you want more cards... I have news for sale." Xia An said. "I know a place with a lot of cards."

"Two shells together with the card." Zhang Cheng said.In fact, wolves are not worth much at all, and tigers have a little collection value, but they are not very big.At least Zhang Cheng doesn't care much now.As for the news... the price is already expensive.

"Mr. Zhang Cheng..." Xia An looked around first to make sure there were no outsiders. "Have you heard that Xirong colluded with Dongyi?"

"I know." Zhang Cheng replied.It's a matter of course, as long as Inu Rong has a little brain, he will do this.In fact, the various news that came out also proved this point.The matter of the files of the Master of Nine Barbarians was even caused by Zhang Cheng.

"Quin Rong recently sent an official envoy to pay a formal visit to Xu Guo." Xia An said. "Mr. Zhang Cheng should know that Xu State is a powerful country of Dongyi, and has always been the leader of Dongyi. I heard that they gave a lot of gifts according to the etiquette, and there are many... cards!"

"What?" Zhang Cheng was surprised.But thinking about it carefully, this news is quite normal.Inurong obviously has a relatively primitive and backward technical level, and its craftsmanship can't make any good things.So it is only natural to give the spoils looted from Hao Jing as gifts.And something as rare as a card is really suitable as a gift.As Xiaoxiong said, these cards left by planeswalkers (especially beast cards) are not very practical, but they are not low in scarcity. "how many?"

"I don't know how many, but I can be sure of a lot. It's definitely not as simple as just thirty or fifty."

More than [-] or [-] cards... The number of cards that Zhang Cheng has collected so far, even including wood chips, is probably only this number.

Zhang Cheng had to admit that he was moved.He doesn't know how many cards his predecessor left behind, but aside from the useless beast cards, many of his predecessor's cards are very valuable.Among other things, another "dimension crack", or another "Void Castle", or even just another "lower angel", is enough for Zhang Cheng to make a special trip to Dongyi.

Ha, it seems that various factors came together to drive him to Dongyi once.In other words, if he went to Dongyi once, he could solve everything in one go.I don't know if this is the effect of luck 10.

While thinking about this question, Zhang Cheng entered the Houji Temple on the side of Kunwu City again.

Just like last time, the pastor of Hou Ji welcomed Zhang Cheng in with a smile on his face.Speaking of which, Zhang Cheng has not been here for a long time, but obviously the pastor already knows about Zhang Cheng's recent situation.So his smile didn't decrease but increased.

"Mr. Zhang Cheng was named a sergeant this time," the pastor said with a smile. "I haven't had time to congratulate yet."

While dealing with it, Zhang Cheng walked into the innermost part of the temple.This temple is not big, and the most important thing in the hall is an altar, on which the symbol of Houji is enshrined, that is, a holy emblem made of several bundles of grain.Right in front of the altar is a small pool with a stone bottle on it. The stone bottle is placed horizontally, and the water in the bottle flows into the pool without stopping.

This kind of decoration is commonplace on earth and can be seen anywhere.It is nothing more than the effect of a small water pump.But it's different in this wild age, at least Zhang Cheng knows that this is definitely not a water pump... Even if there is, there is no electricity here!This stone bottle is really creating water.

Among the divine arts, there is the spell "water making".Zhang Cheng had borrowed a small metal pot from this pastor before, and he could activate the water-making technique several times a day, and each time he could create a pot of water.Basically can solve a person's drinking water demand problem.

Looking at this water bottle before, I didn’t really feel anything special... At most, I think this decoration is a kind of revelation, which means that "water" and "agriculture" are inseparable.But looking at all this now, there is a wonderful realization, knowing that this is Houji's priesthood in seeking "water", and may even have made a semi-clergymanship.

According to Little Bear, every god is trying to expand his or her vocation.It is a good choice to expand to adjacent priesthoods based on your existing priesthood.Hou Ji is no exception.

"Mr. Zhang Cheng, why are you interested in this?" The pastor was puzzled for a moment.

"That," Zhang Cheng said. "I want this, can I?"

"This is impossible. This is the proof of Houji's favor. When the temple was built, it was bestowed by God Houji himself, and it was also placed by me. No one can touch it except me..." The pastor was very proud Said.

"I have a good thing here." After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he reached out and took out a cup from his dimensional pocket.This is not the stainless steel mug that has even accumulated a layer of limescale, but a beautiful glass.Completely transparent, crystal clear colorless glass is the main body, and colored glass of red, yellow, blue, green and other colors are embedded in the middle.Even by the standards of earthlings, this is a very beautiful retro cup.

Of course, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a glass. On earth, this thing is cheap and worthless.In fact, Zhang Cheng bought it in a supermarket and spent 40 yuan.

However, this kind of cheap goods under the high productivity of a civilized society can only be called a rare treasure in this barbaric era.

From the moment Zhang Cheng took out the cup, the pastor's eyes were attracted by this miracle-like treasure.He didn't take his eyes off it for a long time.In fact, his eyes were so wide open that it almost seemed like they would pop out of their sockets.

"This... Mr. Zhang Cheng..." the pastor finally spoke, almost breathless with tension.

"This is a treasure I got by chance. I am willing to dedicate this treasure to Hou Ji." Zhang Cheng said.According to the rules of this world, if such a precious treasure is presented, the temple must give back.And what kind of feedback Zhang Cheng wants is self-evident.

In contrast, it is easy to see which is higher and which is lower.A treasure so gorgeous that it is rare in the world.The other is an ordinary magic item that is not particularly outstanding in terms of performance or appearance, although it has enchantments.Zhang Cheng won quickly.

"Mr. Zhang Cheng, this is a water-gathering bottle. It will stop when it is erected, and it will gather water when it is placed horizontally." The pastor took the initiative to fulfill his words, took off the water bottle by himself, and stuffed it into Zhang Cheng's dimensional pocket.This thing is heavy, but a grown man can still hold it.Not to mention after stuffing it into the dimension pocket.

Because he was going out tomorrow, Zhang Cheng spent the night in the castle of Kunwu City.When he was alone in the room, he took out the "Void Castle" again.So after a short while, the stone bottle was placed on top of the cistern at the highest point of the castle.Just put it horizontally, and the water will flow out of the bottle continuously.The taps in the castle, the lavatories, and even the showers have water.

With the help of the senses of the world tree seedlings, it can be known that the stone bottle uses magic power to condense the water in the air. On the one hand, the water in the air is replenished by the natural water evaporation within the range of the Void Castle, and on the other hand, it can be absorbed from the void.To put it simply, with this stone bottle, the "water" content in the entire small world will increase slightly, but other than that, nothing else will change.But for the living conditions in the castle, it was a complete change.Water and electricity are connected!

In this way, the first phase of the Void Castle renovation project was declared complete.Water supply, power supply, drainage, lighting, decoration, furniture, home appliances, etc. are all there.Of course, WIFI and fiber optics are really helpless, so Zhang Cheng has no extravagance.

In the future, Planeswalkers can hide in the Void Castle as much as possible while sleeping to ensure safety.Of course, when you encounter dangers every day, you can hide in when you don't want to fight but want to avoid them.
