I Want a Low-key Traverser, So I Try to Act in Secret

Even if it is not a holy rank powerhouse, it is related to the holy rank powerhouse, or possesses some kind of secret treasure. If you are not confident in your own strength, it is best not to provoke such existences.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who simply have good hygiene habits and can enjoy top-level cleaning supplies.

However, in this kind of world, top-level living conditions can only be maintained for a long time if they can be provided by top-level forces. Compared with a holy-rank strongman who is purely stronger in personal strength, the latter may be a more troublesome existence.

For example, in the city of Sidongyam, if an ordinary resident wants to maintain the minimum personal hygiene, that is, take a hot bath once a week, with certain plant bath agents, it will cost an additional 1 to 2 silver coins a month .

As the receptionist of the Adventurers Association, Jed has a weekly salary of 4 silver coins and 50 copper coins. The weekly income of 4 silver coins and 50 copper coins can ensure that he has a relatively sufficient intake of meat and eggs, and he can live in ordinary residential areas that are not noble areas. The best location, owning a three bedroom apartment with living room.

Jed spends 3 silver coins on bathing every month. After careful calculation, one-sixth of his weekly income is spent on personal hygiene.Even so, his personal hygiene was still substandard by Saeko's standards.

There is black mud in the nails, the neckline and face are covered with oil stains all the year round, and the teeth are also yellow.

The water fee in Sidongyam City is a bit expensive, and the public fresh water supply in civilian areas is limited.However, if ordinary poor people do not have the money to enjoy public bathing services, they can use the No. [-] bus to go out of the city and follow the inland river for more than ten kilometers to get relatively clean natural fresh water. The water there is free and unlimited.

Because it is relatively close to the sea, the estuary of the inland river belongs to the confluence area of ​​fresh water and sea water. When the tide is high or there are strong winds and waves, the sea water will flow upstream to an area of ​​more than ten kilometers.

In fact, there are many ordinary residents in Sidongyam City who have no special skills, are not professionals, or have no courage to become adventurers. Many of them are engaged in the business of transporting water.

This business does not require any major or academic qualifications, as long as you have the strength and some crude tools or equipment to do it.

Coolies are used to transport fresh water to the city, and sell it to residents for daily use or ship supplies at a price lower than the official supply.

At the beginning, the Xidong family turned a blind eye to this. They couldn't control all the ways of survival, and they always had to leave some living space for others.

However, due to the lack of control, the barbaric and disorderly development of civil forces has gradually evolved into vicious competition in the form of gangs, and some gray businesses such as smuggling have also been developed, which violates the interests of the Xidong family and some guilds, so the Xidong family Simply bring this business under control, but not participate.

It's really sad to say, or ridiculous, with them taking away a part, or a larger part of the benefits, maybe the remaining income is too low?Can't attract gangsters or careerists?Most of the real coolies can safely earn this coolie money without participating in fighting or smuggling.

The topic is getting a little far.

Saeko and Hina accepted the delicacies here to a limited extent, mostly after observing the cooking methods, they bought the raw materials directly in the market, and they returned to the RV to cook by themselves.

In addition, don't be superstitious about how delicious and healthy wild vegetables and fruits are.

Vegetables and fruits that have not been domesticated by humans, most of the original tastes are not very good. If you don’t believe me, check African watermelon on Baidu. This is the best example.

The vast majority of modern vegetables and fruits are the result of at least hundreds of years of directional selection and cultivation. Before the Song Dynasty, there were basically no natural fruits and vegetables that taste better than artificially planted vegetables and fruits. After the Ming Dynasty, the natural fruits and vegetables that existed in the wild taste better than artificially planted. All are the products of domestication and returning to nature.

This principle applies not only to fruits and vegetables, but also to most artificially raised aquatic products, poultry, and livestock.

Things that are naturally suitable as human food and rations without any domestication do exist in nature, but the number and types are very small, and most of them have long been discovered by humans and domesticated into crops, poultry and livestock .

……

Two days later, when Saeko and the other girls were out doing morning exercises, Jed knocked on the door of Li Xu's car.

After a while, Li Xu opened the car door from the inside and let him in.

It was the first time for Jed to enter here. As soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed by the decoration inside, and became very stiff, unable to let go of his hands and feet.

Luxury?gorgeous?Exquisite?

Jed is also a person who has entered the mansion of the city lord and even the mansion of the lord, but compared to Li Xu's "mage mansion technique", he feels that the former is no different from the farmer's thatched hut.

If there is, it is just a thatched shed filled with some luxurious decorations, and it is still a thatched shed in essence.

"sit"

Li Xu brought him a pair of slippers, returned to the living room of the carriage, and sat on the sofa.

Jed took off his curly-toed leather boots in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, can I stand here and talk to you directly?"

Possibly a foot odor problem?

Li Xu didn't really care much about it, but the women at home might find it disgusting, so after thinking about it, he found two plastic bags in the [storage bar], stood up and handed them to him.

"Just put it on your feet and throw the bag away when you go out."

"Yes Yes……"

After approaching him, he did smell a smell of sweaty feet.

Li Xu turned around and made him a cup of third brother's homemade black tea at the bar in the car. It was just an ordinary glass for him, but for the people here, it was crystal clear and luxurious. .

"I don't know your taste, this is a common drink in our place, you can add sugar cubes according to your own taste, this box is sugar cubes"

Li Xu showed him the gadgets and candy boxes.

While making tea, Li Xu saw him sitting on the sofa bouncing up and down repeatedly, feeling the elasticity of the sofa.

The first time he made this kind of thing, Twolegged Ape should have this kind of reaction, and he also had the same reaction when he was a child.

Li Xu couldn't see his expression at this time, but seeing that he didn't move, he probably wanted to try it very much, but was afraid of spoiling something.

"Don't be too cautious, come to me today, is it the identification of that kind of sea fish?"

"Yes, it is"

With the topic, Jed regained a bit of the ability of the receptionist.

"I found a bishop of the Church of the Ocean located in the nearby waters, and he identified it as a relatively high-level deep-sea monster that inhabits the abyss. Although it is not an overlord, it is a top-level monster of the sub-overlord level... ..."

Li Xu wears blindfolds around his eyes, so he can't usually see his frowning movements.

But Jed, who is good at observing words and expressions, noticed his expression, and quickly took out a small bag from his body, which contained a hundred ocean gold coins that Li Xu gave him.

"Ok?"

"It's not that I don't want to earn your commission... It's just that as soon as I saw that kind of deep-sea fish, I was taken directly to the bishop of the Ocean Church, and before I had a detailed discussion with you, they were only willing to disclose the above information , I just returned to the city last night.”

With deep reluctance, Jade put the money bag on the sparkling glass coffee table, and pushed the money bag in front of Li Xu.

"Ocean Church... um, isn't the church or the shrine in the city?" Li Xu was a little surprised, there were many things.

"Under water about thirty kilometers west of Sidong Yam"

"Underwater?"

"Yes"

Li Xu has known for a long time that there are many underwater "strongholds" in the nearby sea area. Although he didn't visit them, he did know.So I just thought about it and accepted his statement.

"So, apart from the Church of the Sea, no other person or organization has this kind of identification ability?"

"Some mage organizations may have them, but when it comes to professionalism and reliability, the Ocean Church is still the first choice, and those mage organizations...although it is a bit hard to say, but with my current status in the association, it is not very good channel to communicate with

"Oh... you can lift the string of that small bag, it will help the hot water to soak it open"

There is no word for "tea" in the local language, and there may be no such thing as "tea" in this world.

Li Xu doesn't like this kind of black tea with added sugar. As for tea, his taste is more popular, fried jasmine tea is enough, but he is not used to those expensive tea.

A glass made of glass steel and stainless steel with a capacity of at least 5L was filled with a cup of clear copper-red jasmine tea, and it had already cooled down. He poured himself a cup.

Put it on his lap, and after taking a few sips, he asked Jed who was trying the black tea with his lips:

"Looking at you, it seems that you agree with me meeting this bishop of the Ocean Church?"

"Oh, excuse me, yes"

Jed carefully put the glass back on the coffee table, and said: "Although the Church of the Sea is a little difficult to contact with the land races, after hundreds of years, they can also live in peace with us, and in the waters where the kingdoms are located The high-level members of the Ocean Church who are active are generally kind to other races."

"There are many meanings in your words. Hundreds of years ago, the Church of the Sea didn't seem very friendly? Moreover, there are still high-level members of the Church of the Sea who are still not very friendly?"

Li Xu asked while drinking tea.

"Just like the bottomless abyss has a calm side and a violent side, the Church of the Sea also has two sides, a friendly side, and... an unfriendly side"

Jed is always hesitant, and he always has some concerns when he speaks.

So, in a world with gods, one must be cautious when speaking?

Li Xu thought about it and nodded.

"I understand"

Jed nodded too, probably smiling at him.

"The less friendly members of the Church of the Sea are generally located in deeper... but not so deep sea areas. According to my understanding of them, they need this kind of deep-sea monster material from the bottomless abyss. Although they are The Church of the Ocean, but they have very few opportunities to obtain that level of monsters. It is very difficult for the Church of the Ocean to hunt and kill that level of overlords in the deep sea...even the sub-overlords... things, and many of their ceremonies need to use these deep sea products, especially their promotion ceremonies to please their respective sea gods.”

"what"

Li Xu was stunned, "You mean, this bishop wants to talk to me about buying my prey?"

"It should be so, so the other party is very cautious and strictly blocked the news... Among them, the big shots... Well, as far as I know, that behavior is very intense"

"compete?"

Li Xu asked tentatively.

"Yes, competition"

Jed slapped his thigh, "That's the word, I didn't think of it for a while"

"In that case, wouldn't I be in some danger?"

"Although the deep-sea monsters are also a kind of precious material for us, they are not as effective as they are, and the demand is urgent. However, I think this is the sphere of influence of the Xidong family. As long as you keep a low profile and discuss with the bishop properly , there should be no danger."

"Does the negotiation need to introduce the Xidong family?"

Jed thought for a while, he knew what Li Xu meant very well, Li Xu really asked if the Laxidong family would enter the water and provide protection, and whether this kind of transaction needed to share a profit from the Xidong family, a local snake.

"Did you really defeat that doggy elf ranger Jo Flynn head-on in a one-on-one situation?" Jed asked.

"Yes, yes, but his physical condition may really be as he said, not at his peak"

"If something happens to you, will he help you?"

"I'm not sure, but I think there is a high probability that it will be. Although he has the prefix of 'Dog Day', I have never heard of him having an act of treachery."

Jed thought for a while and nodded, "Then there is no need to introduce the Xidong family to intervene. Anyone who wants to harm you needs to consider your personal force and the fact that you are the only one who left the Kraken alive for hundreds of years. Adventurer in the illusion, and now to a certain extent, you are still a distinguished guest of the Ocean Church, no one will openly offend the Ocean Church while offending the honorary adventurer of the Seventy-seven Kingdom."

"Very well, I accept your professional judgment"

Li Xu put down his teacup, and pushed the money bag back in front of Jed.

Jed was overjoyed. His monthly salary was only 20 silver coins and [-] ocean gold coins, which was equivalent to his work income for several years, and he didn't have to pay taxes to the tax official. It was a net income.

Immediately excited words are not easy to say.

"Thank... thank you so much, your generosity really really lights up the sky"

Am I the brightest star in the night sky?Or did I ascend to heaven and explode in place?

Li Xu couldn't help but think of "Chong Duck!"In "Little Broken Ball", sand sculpture netizens on the Internet made emoticons for Liu Qi.

Colonel Liu Peiqiang really lit up the sky.
