Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 72 The Return
Because of the confrontation between Daikina and the Giant of Light, Jiatu's plan failed to keep up with the changes.

The third round of the game ended much faster than he imagined.

After the Giant of Light was expelled by the Rainbow Master of Ceremonies, the duo of Flesh Gear and Octopus faced the alliance of Jiatu and Daikina, no matter how arrogant they were, they would not think that they had the ability to bring down these two.

In addition, the goat dress is also his own, so at the end of the third round, Jiatu obtained the ownership of "Jiatu" almost without any disturbance.

At the end of the game, he even got more than 5000 chips from the bonus pool, deducting the [-] that Hena lost, and the total reached [-].

In addition, at the end of the game, Daikina transferred [-] points from the Giant of Light's chips to Jiatu, which surprised him.

"This is what you deserve."

Regarding this, the lady in black simply explained: "I lost more than 2 Shenyuan coins because of the dead bird before, but this time I squeezed out a lot from it. After deducting the previous loss, there are still 3 yuan left. Based on your performance this time, I decided to give you one-third of the ten thousand Shenyuan coins."

In this regard, Jiatu was pleasantly surprised, but did not have much objection:
"That's right, you still have accomplices after all, one-third is already a lot..."

However, Dachina suddenly laughed:

"You mean accomplice? Are you referring to this puppet?"

After finishing speaking, she let the goat dress following her take off the skull mask.

Only then did Jiatu realize with a look of surprise that under this strange goat mask was actually a silver puppet with an expressionless face!
"Reintroduce."

Holding a parasol, the lady in black bowed to Jiatu and said:
"Dragon God Street Secret Puppeteer, Daikina, this is my core puppet Elias, and one of my 'powers'."

"Xu Yang...he just arrived here not long ago, and he doesn't have a place to live yet."

Jiatu looked at the elegant and mysterious lady puppeteer in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and confessed his situation.

He now carries more than 1 Shenyuan coins with him, as well as the ownership of Noah and "Jiatu".

If there is no one to protect him, he is afraid that he will be eaten and wiped clean just after leaving the arena.

Although Jiatu was also worried about whether Daikina would kill him.

But given his current situation, there was really no better way.

Therefore, he is more willing to be honest than slapping his face to make him fat. He believes that Daikina, who just gave him more than 1 Shenyuan coins, is a "good person".

"Is there no place to live..."

After hearing Jiatu's self-introduction, Daikina pondered for a while, and then said:

"You now have more than 1 Shenyuan coins in your hand. It is no problem to find a good place to live. Even if you stay in a hotel, you can stay for more than two months. This time is enough for you to find voters and expand your power."

Hearing what Dachina said, Jiatu nodded.

Although the prices here are a bit ridiculously high, Jiatu has realized that according to the speed of time flow in the black market, the time "here" is different from "reality".

It took Jiatu and the others four days and nearly a hundred hours to complete the entire third round of testing, but it took less than two hours in total from "Ash" entering the black disk room to exiting.

Converted into a time scale, it is almost 50 times.

And after Jiatu left the arena, he felt his "real" body.

So he corrected it based on his own sense of time—the time ratio of Cyber ​​City outside the arena is almost 1:10 with "reality".

10 minutes have passed in "reality", and only 1 minute has passed "here".

Staying in Cyber ​​City for 60 days is equivalent to two years in reality.

For such a long time, whether it is cultivating "Original Stone Jiatu" or finding other ways to convert the collected Mogang into Shenyuan coins, it is completely enough.

Thinking of this, Jiatu looked at the small silver coin in his hand again.

These non-gold and non-silver white crystals are the "Shenyuan Coins" in Daikina's mouth.

100 arena chips can be exchanged for 10 Shenyuan coins.

Jiatu's 12 chips, converted into Shenyuan coins, are almost 12000 yuan.

According to Daikina, 3000 Shenyuan coins can almost allow a low god to live in "Cyber ​​City" for a month.

And this is also the lowest expenditure level of a "decent god" in Cyber ​​City.

"The food here costs at least 30 Shenyuan coins a day, plus the house rent and other miscellaneous expenses, 3000 yuan a month is already very little."

Daisy Nar said:

"If you trust me, you can come to Baiyun Restaurant on Longshen Street with me. Although the proprietress is a little grumpy, at least the rent is not high. I remember they have a loft, 1200 yuan is enough to rent it to you."

"A third of the hotel... I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiatu just made a simple calculation, then nodded in agreement.

In an unfamiliar place like Cyber ​​City, it is not easy to meet a "guide" like Daqina.

He still has a lot of things to ask the other party, and it's rare that the other party doesn't bother.

This is a good thing for him.

After the two sides reached a consensus, Jiatu followed behind Daqina and walked towards Longshen Street together.

Along the way, there are densely packed "Giants of Light" everywhere.

While watching, Jiatu remained silent.

After eating a cup of Golden Raspberry Parfait, he was no longer so scared, but most of the residents of Cyber ​​City were still giants in his eyes.

Even Daikina seemed at least twice as weak compared to them.

According to Daikina, these giants are even just "ordinary gods" in Cyber ​​City.

The truly powerful "lords" in Cyber ​​City are basically high-ranking and reclusive, and other Cyber ​​City residents can't see them at all.

"High power but low life... This is really..."

Jiatu followed behind Daikina, walking along the commercial street.

Even Dachina was reluctant to take a taxi, so she could only walk through more than ten blocks to the so-called "Dragon God Street".

After walking for about three or ten minutes, Jiatu finally saw what it looked like.

Across a bustling commercial street, at the entrance of a street that seems to have come out of an old dilapidated neighborhood, stands a large and towering dilapidated archway, on which are carved the dilapidated and old "Dragon God Street" three The Chinese characters look a bit miserable and dilapidated.

Whether inside the block or outside the block, there were not many people to be seen, and they looked empty.

"This is Longshen Street?"

Seeing the lonely scene here, Jiatu couldn't help being a little surprised.

And Daisy Naer looked back at him, nodded a little unexpectedly and said:

"Yes, this is Dragon God Street - the only Cyber ​​City gathering area for Sai'an people."

Jiatu looked back.

Behind it is the bustling and dazzling streets of Cyber ​​City, in stark contrast to the desolate Longshen Street in front of it.

All the feasting and feasting that came along the way were all behind him.

Depression, dilapidated and empty houses are right in front of him.

Jiatu once again realized what kind of ant he was in today's Cyber ​​City.

He took a deep breath, followed behind Daisy Na'er, and walked into the Chinese restaurant at the entrance of the block.

To his surprise, Longshen Street is not full of Chinese-style buildings. Opposite the "Baiyun Restaurant" is an Orthodox-style church, and a Turkish-style Middle Eastern barbecue restaurant can be seen further away.

There are also some buildings similar to Miao stilt buildings and Siberian tree houses, which look like a mixed-style cultural block.

"Boss Bai, we have a new customer."

After entering Longshen Street, Daikina felt as if she had returned home.

Carelessly kicked open the door of Baiyun Restaurant.

Inside the deserted restaurant, an old man with long beard wearing light blue dark clothes was lying on the counter deep in the hall and fell asleep soundly.

On his head were two pairs of forked antlers like a five-clawed golden dragon, and he seemed to have aged a bit in appearance, with his beard and hair already a little grizzled.

But most importantly, it doesn't look like a normal human!On the contrary, it looks a bit like the Dragon King of the East China Sea in Journey to the West!

Jiatu thought it was wearing a hood at first, until it raised its head suddenly under the call of Daisy Na, and Jiatu realized that it was not wearing a hood——

Instead, it has the head of an oriental dragon!

"Daisy...why, have you come back yet? Didn't you lose much this time?"

The dragon-headed man with antlers and long beard rubbed his eyes as big as copper bells, and said in a daze.

Under its clean and elegant white beard, came the voice of an old and hardworking man.

And Daisy Naer shook the lace folding fan in her hand a little proudly, and replied:
"Thanks to you, the rent for the next six months will be fine."

The costumes of one person and one dragon don't match at all, but standing together is extremely natural and harmonious.

Jiatu looked at this scene with some surprise.

He saw the old man Longshou waved his large sleeves, wiped the drool off the counter, looked at Daikina suspiciously and said:
"Since you have made a lot of money, let's make up the rent you owe... Also, don't lose all the money back..."

After speaking, the old man noticed the hooded man next to the lady in black - Jiatou.

"Who is this……?
he asked with some confusion.

"Friends I met in the arena."

Daisy Na'er nodded and said, "He lost all his money and hadn't found a place to live yet, so I brought him here."

"What?! Lost all the money?! Haven't found a place yet?! I don't help beggars here?!"

Hearing Daqina'er's words, the old man Longshou was taken aback. He nervously covered the cash register on the counter: "My store is small and the profits are small, but I can't do business with Buddha!"

But Jiatu could feel that the old man's tone was not so sure, as if he could see Jiatu's weakness, and his heart was a little soft.

And Daikina glanced at him with a smile, and then said to the old man:

"Don't worry, of course I brought it here after confirming that he had earned money—but he doesn't have much money, please help him find a cheaper room."

"So... how about a herringbone room? I'll find you a remote one, and I'll charge you 2200 a month."

The old man hesitated, nodded and answered.

"Do you dare to charge 2200 for a herringbone room?!"

In the end, Daikina yelled out before Jiatu: "Did you forget that this dilapidated restaurant of yours doesn't have many customers for a year?"

"Then... 1800?"

The old man Longshou had a bitter face, hesitated for a moment, and raised one left, two right three fingers.

"1500!"

Dachina directly pressed down the two fingers of his right hand:
"No deposit! Another 300 RMB discount in the first month! Otherwise, I will take him to the church next door to open a Datong shop!"

"Oh...Miss Dai, you are killing my old man!"

The old man Longshou suddenly complained: "1500 a month, I don't even have enough money to hire someone to clean up!"

However, Dachina knocked on the counter with a parasol:
"Don't think I don't know! You asked your little granddaughter to do the cleaning! As a righteous dragon, not only employs child labor, but also can't do good hygiene! You should just stop messing around on this street!"

"Then clean twice a month! No more! Otherwise, I really have to hire another person!"

The old man Longshou also knocked on the table with his fist: "The bed sheets are changed every half a month! My family is the orthodox of the Dragon King's family! It's really shameful not to give any profit!"

"Okay, deal!"

Dachina slapped the parasol on the table aggressively.

She turned her head sideways, glanced at Jiatu, and quickly explained: "If you find someone to clean in Cyber ​​City, you will also have to pay two hundred yuan a time, 1200 for the first month, and 1500 for each month after that, just accept it first." Well, it’s really not possible, it’s okay to move to the Tongpu next door next month.”

Although Jiatu wanted to say that living in the attic is fine.

But when he saw Daikina'er and Boss Longshou making eye contact, he still nodded.

He knew that the lady in the black dress and the boss had put on a show for him, but most of the plot in it was true.

The owner of the restaurant is really heartbroken.

Daqina really convinced him with the additional money in the next few months.

"1500 a month, I can live for at least 4 months, plus free cleaning, enough for me to settle down first, and then consider the next move..."

After finishing the calculation in Jiatu's mind, he took out the bank card in his arms:
"Is there any problem with the account in the Bank of God?"

"Okay, wait a moment, sir!"

The old man Longshou reached a consensus with Daisy Na'er, so they stopped being entangled.

While greeting Jiatu, he moved up the cash register that had just been moved down.

Looking at his unusually skillful movements, Jiatu asked with some amusement:

"I don't know what to call the shopkeeper?"

"Miangui's surname is Bai, Bai Shijin."

The old man Longshou answered while picking up Jiatu's bank card.

He swiped hard on the card reader of the cash register, and Jiatu's identity account appeared.

However, there is only Jiatu's image and ID number on the information interface, and no name has been entered.

So the old man Longshou looked at Jiatu and asked:

"You haven't logged in your name yet, do you want me to log in for you?"

"...Then please help me change it to Xu Yang."

Jiatu thought for a while, and realized that this was the first time that his "body" had intersected with Cyber ​​City.

The previous "Ashes" had been wandering the streets, and had no chance to register their names at all.

And Daisy Naer also yawned, seemed a little sleepy, greeted them, and then walked towards the stairs of the "Tianzihao Room":

"You guys are busy first, I'm going to rest first."

"Okay, I will trouble you on this journey."

Cato cupped his hands behind her.

Dachina waved her hand gracefully and somewhat handsomely, and disappeared down the stairs without replying.

At this time, Bai Shijin also completed the login, and handed Jiatu the bank card and another jade card engraved with "no room".

"Xu Shangshen, please put it away! This is the forbidden jade card of the room! Except for you and the people you allow, no one else can enter your room! However, on the first and fifteenth of every month, someone will come to your room Clean your room! So please manage your personal belongings well! Don’t lose or damage them!”

The old man Longshou changed his previous offense and said respectfully.

Jiatu knew that the other party was officially treating him as a guest.

So he nodded, followed behind the old man, and walked towards the back of the lobby together.

Different from the "Tianzi room" where Daikina lived, Jiatu's "Herringbone room" is next to the street, with simple Chinese-style carved doors and windows, Simmons and clean white beds in the room of more than ten square meters , the overall is still very "modern".

"Then every day from 10 to 14 and from 16 to 22 is the restaurant's meal time. If you need to come out to dine in, if you feel inconvenient, you can also use 'Transsion Ruyi' to let us deliver the meals to the guest room."

Bai Shijin pointed to Yu Ruyi on the bedside and said.

After introducing Jiatu into the guest room, the old man did not follow into the room, but stood at the door of the room and said respectfully.

"how's the price?"

Jiatu looked at the room and felt satisfied, so he confirmed it to Bai Shijin.

"There are two kinds of packages: 25 yuan and 65 yuan. If you have special needs, we can also customize a luxury package of more than [-] yuan for you, but you need to make an appointment more than three days in advance."

Bai Shijin replied.

"Okay, I see, thank you."

"If there is nothing else, then I will leave first."

Seeing Jiatu nodding his head, Bai Shijin left the room with small steps and disappeared into the corridor.

Jiatu looked at his back, closed the door with a jade tablet, and opened the restriction.

After confirming that he couldn't open the door no matter what, Jiatu sat down beside the mattress.

He closed his eyes.

As his concentration gradually relaxed, Garto felt as if he had jumped into the "bottom of the lake of mind" deep in his consciousness.

Accompanied by countless glowing head bubbles in the lake, he slowly descended along two thin lines, one bright and one dark, and gradually found his body in the "lower realm".

He could feel that Noah had woken up.

But because the thin thread was too weak, he could only vaguely feel Noah's existence.

And Jiatu's own body was like a vortex with strong suction, constantly pulling his consciousness, successfully found his body, and merged into it.

Jiatu opened his eyes, feeling a little sore all over his body.

He wanted to stand up, but staggered subconsciously.

Only then did he realize that his left leg was still disabled, and he found the new cane Wu Yao gave him at the bedside, and Jiatu stood up.

He closed his eyes and felt it, and he could still feel his body in Cyber ​​City.

However, because the flow of time in Cyber ​​City is very slow, he will have an indescribable sense of heaviness, as if he is manipulating the body of the "Upper Realm" across the orbit of the moon.

This made him clearly realize that "Jiatu" and "Xu Yang" are the same "existence".

It's not who devours whom, or who replaces whom.

It is two sides of one "soul" or "consciousness".

Thinking of this, Jiatu couldn't help touching his neck, where a light, thin black thread flew into the air.

It cannot be touched, but Jiatu can see it with Xu Yang's consciousness.

However, just when Jiatu was about to find a mirror and take a closer look at the black silk on his back, he saw through Xu Yang's vision, with some tingling, a section had grown on the neck of "Jiatu". More than 20 centimeters long white spine!
　Five thousand words, adjust the new plot, touch it!
　　Changed the term "Shenyin Coin" to more in line with domestic abbreviation habits, and changed it to "Shenyuan Coin", which is pretty much the same anyway.
