Zhou Ruins: Unreal Dimension 1

Chapter 64
Time flies, time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the heavy rain that enveloped Chengtian Kingdom had stopped two days ago, the dark clouds that filled the sky still had no tendency to dissipate.

A few sporadic rays of sunlight piercing through the clouds dotted the muddy world with difficulty.

Zi'an City.

Although it was noon at this time, the light was still poor, as if the sun was about to set.

In the streets and alleys of the city, oil lamps emitted faint lights, and people looked up at the endless dark clouds in the sky from time to time, and sighed frequently.

In front of a noodle restaurant, a young man in green was devouring noodles.

The young man sitting opposite him just ordered a pot of hot tea, and sipped while listening to the words of the market.

"What the hell is wrong with the weather? Isn't it enough for five days of heavy rain?"

"Well, who knows, if there is no more sunshine, all the crops in our field will be gone."

"Are you still thinking about the crops? You are lucky that nothing happened here."

"How do you say this?"

"A few days ago, I received a letter from the east of Babaili to rush to the capital to report. When I came to our place to change horses, I happened to be feeding the horses at the post station. I heard the man talk to the city lord."

"What's the matter, quickly pick the main ones."

"If you interrupt again, get the hell out of here, and if you don't know how to listen, don't listen."

"That's right, don't worry about him, just keep talking."

"Then you have to make sure that you don't tell other people, let alone spread it from me."

"Oh, don't worry about this, don't keep it up, just talk about it."

"Yes, yes, everyone is waiting."

"Okay, then I'll continue. Isn't there a city called Liangcheng in the east of us near the Shunjiang River? A few days ago, the river's mouth burst and was flooded. It is said that the number of survivors is no more than the number of hands... So I have to Tell me, let’s take advantage of what we should enjoy now, otherwise who knows if we will be the ones who will suffer the next moment..."

"Ah? This is too scary. It's a big city, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, and there are not more than ten people who survived?"

"This is really... oh...God doesn't have eyes..."

……

"Boss! Another bowl of noodles!"

The young man who devoured the soup didn't even miss the soup. Three large bowls had been piled up beside the table. When the boss brought the noodles, his eyes were still glowing green, as if what was in front of him was not noodles in clear soup, but some delicious food.

"Brother Qi, eat slowly, no one will fight with you, just keep your fill." The boy sitting opposite Qi Qi said.

"Uh-huh."

The young man tasting tea was Liu An. After arriving in this city, he met this down-and-out young man in front of him.

After observing for a period of time, seeing that this person had a good character, he helped him a lot.

Not long after, another bowl of noodles was eaten, and after adding another bowl, he patted his round belly with satisfaction.

"full?"

"Yeah." Qi Qi nodded, and then hiccupped for a long time.

"Boss, check out."

"Here comes the guest officer, five bowls of noodles in clear soup, a record of 25 copper coins, a pot of hot tea, a record..."

"25 copper coins? Why don't you grab them? Isn't a bowl of noodles in clear soup worth three copper coins?" Qi Qi slammed his fist on the table, and the startled boss hurriedly supported the five large bowls that almost fell.

"Oh, guest officer, that was in the past, and now you have seen the terrible weather. Food will definitely be in short supply next year. Besides, this lamp oil is not cheap..."

"Okay, here are forty copper plates, no need to look for them, just count them."

"Thank you, guest officer, you don't need to count, I can trust you." The boss weighed the weight of the copper plate, and immediately said with a smile on his face.

Qi Qi was about to argue, but was dragged away by Liu An.

"Brother Liu, this profiteer..."

"Forget it, about a few copper coins, fighting back and forth will only increase the jokes."

The spirit world has different currency exchange policies according to different plane worlds, for example in this world:
One power point = ten gold coins = one thousand silver coins = one hundred thousand copper coins
Coins from other worlds cannot be redeemed for power points.

So Liu An really didn't lack these few copper coins.

"Brother Liu, thank you for your hospitality. The right to spend during this period should be borrowed by Qi, and he will repay you tens of millions of times in the future."

"It's okay, it's enough to have this intention."

"Brother Liu! This is a matter of principle. I'm not kidding. Qi swears in the name of a scholar!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for that day. By the way, you see that they are recruiting brick-and-mortar workers over there. The daily salary is not low. Why don't you try it? It can also solve the urgent need, no more than writing books every day. Can’t sell it strong.”

"Brother Liu is joking." Qi Qi put on a wry smile, "I am a scholar with a strong character, how can I do such rough work."

"Don't look down on anyone. Scholars are human beings and they have to eat. Although you look down on them, they can eat meat and drink after a busy day. How about you? You almost starved to death." Liu An patted his face shoulder, and then strode forward, "To be a human being, you must be down-to-earth, and don't be too ambitious."

Qi Qi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the group of men who were working.

Everyone was sweating profusely, their bodies covered in dust, but no one said they were tired, and their eyes were filled with the brilliance of hope.

Those who have a family are discussing how long a day's wages can last for the whole family, and how to spend it more appropriately.

Those who are not married are discussing where to go at night, or how close they are to marrying a daughter-in-law, or how to improve the food and add new clothes to their parents.

"It turns out that the person I have always looked down upon is the pillar of the family, the person who carries countless expectations..."

"What face do I have, and what right do I have to look down on them..."

Qi Qi clenched his hands slowly, as if he had made up his mind, and then quickly caught up with the disappearing figure in front of him.

"Brother Liu, I've made up my mind, I'll try it tomorrow."

"Isn't it straight-forward?"

"...By the way, brother Liu, what are you going to do next?"

"Wait for an acquaintance."

……

Presents the kingdom of heaven, the capital.

Royal Palace.

In the noisy court hall, all the ministers were blushing and fighting, as if they would fight in the next moment.

Following a few majestic coughs from the dragon chair, the court hall could hear the needle drop in an instant.

"With regard to the alliance talks between the Northern Dynasty Kingdom, the Xixuan Kingdom and the Dongcang Kingdom, what opinions can you discuss?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to what the old minister has seen, it should be time to show me the power of the kingdom of heaven again. The military training of the Three Kingdoms has never stopped. Recently, it has been aggressively recruiting and training warriors. Its wolf ambition is clearly revealed. If you don't beat it, I think these dogs have forgotten who is the real owner of this world." The person on the left side at the front of the hall took the lead and said.

The person directly to the right frowned slightly, then took a step forward, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by an urgent message.

"Nandi Babaili Urgent Report - Li Yuyang, No. 13 son of Nandi King, launched a mutiny and changed the name of the country to 'Chen'.

King Nandi has been imprisoned, and all of Li Yuyang's biological brothers were slaughtered by him.

Our Anzi is being purged, and there seems to be a traitor.

The next step is suspected of raising troops to attack, and I hope the Holy One will pay attention. "
