A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Laurentina's eyes suddenly brightened, and she hugged Skadi's arm and began to shake.

"Then what are you waiting for? Come on, let's go to the Human Resources Department!"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Skadi was not used to this kind of close contact and hid to the side.

"Let's take a shower first and change your clothes. The bathroom here is quite big, and..."

In Laurentina's confused eyes, she pointed in the direction of the bathroom with one hand, showing an expression of extreme satisfaction.

“There’s a flush toilet here!”

Chapter 254 A penny stumps Qiu Bai

"Please keep your temporary residence certificate. The situation has been tense recently. The Guards Bureau may conduct regular inspections. If you lose it, you must replace it as soon as possible, otherwise you may be deported. And your sword, without special permission, It is prohibited to carry edged weapons in Longmen City. This temporary certificate can only be used once and will be invalid after today. Please do not carry weapons on the streets again."

"thank you, I know now."

Taking a few documents from the staff, Qiu Bai nodded politely, left the city checkpoint through another passage, and truly set foot on the land of Longmen.

Countless high-rise buildings, flashing neon lights at dusk, criss-crossing roads and bridges, an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians, a prosperous scene that is much more lively than Yumen Pass standing in the wind and sand.

Half of her life has been lived in the water village outside Jiang Qi City, and the other half has been living in Yumen Pass with Zhongyue. She has never left anywhere. It is her first time to see other cities. It is a bustling modern metropolis like Longmen. See, shock is inevitable.

Yumen Pass is located in a border fortress. It is not so much a city as a military fortress guarding the border. Most of the people living in the city are the descendants of the city defenders and the families of the soldiers. The most common people there are soldiers, followed by the Jianghu people traveling to and from Yumen Pass. , and finally a few merchants, so that there was some fireworks,

In addition, Yumen is covered by wind and sand all year round, the environment is harsh, and it is often attacked, and the atmosphere in the city has never really relaxed.

Longmen is different. The concept of this city is open and inclusive, and can accommodate visitors from all directions. People here come from all over the world, and many different things collide and merge with each other. The free and open atmosphere has long been integrated into every corner of this city. Even before he reached the more prosperous urban area, Qiu Bai could still see a completely different mental outlook from Yumen's on the faces of passers-by.

To be honest, she was a little overwhelmed. The noise in Longmen was like a rushing torrent. She was like a leaf floating in the torrent, drifting with the current and unable to find a solid place to stay.

"Girl, do you want to take the bus? We just arrived at the hotel. I'm going home on the last trip. It's cheaper for you."

While she was dumbfounded, a shout came from not far away. Qiu Bai was stunned for a moment. He looked around and saw no one else. Only then did he realize that he was talking to her.

Following the sound, she saw a slightly old car parked on the side of the road, and a middle-aged Liboli man with a tired face was waving to her.

This is... a passenger bus?

There are people doing this in Yumen, but not too many.

Qiu Bai thought for a while and subconsciously touched his pocket.

"how much is it?"

"Then it depends on where you are going. Looking at you, girl, you must be looking for a place to live, right? Then I suggest you look for one in the outer ring. The rent for houses in the inner ring is much more expensive."

Li Boli's driver was very talkative and kept talking while opening the car door.

Qiu Bai tightened his grip on the wallet in his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "I'm going to the inner ring."

"It's not close to the inner ring from here, but it's a coincidence that you came here. I'll be on my way back, and it only costs fifty dragon gate coins."

"it is good."

Fifty Gantry Coins is not a lot. Qiu Bai nodded and got into the car. The vehicle started slowly, exited the small road and merged into the traffic on the main road.

"Girl, are you coming from the mainland? Is this your first time in Longmen?"

Soothing music echoed in the car, blocking out the noise on the road. Driver Li Boli held the steering wheel with one hand, seeming to feel that the atmosphere in the car was too dull, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Yes."

Looking at the traffic outside through the car window, Qiu Bai nodded slightly.

She has such a temperament that she doesn't have much to say, especially with people she doesn't know well, even less.

"Then you have to be mentally prepared."

"how?"

"Hey, it's not just the festival. There are a lot of out-of-towners coming to Longmen these days, visiting relatives and friends, and doing business during the festival. In addition, there are regulations from above, and the control is strict. The prices in Longmen are... It’s gone up a lot. If you want to find a long-term place to stay, it’s best not to go too far in there. The prices of many hotels in the inner city have doubled. They’re designed to rip off outsiders, so it’s not cost-effective.”

"thanks for reminding."

Qiu Bai didn't quite understand, so he responded casually.

It's just a room to stay in, and she doesn't need a big place. Just a bed that's enough to sleep on. How much more expensive can it be?

The girl who had just arrived thought this but didn't take it to heart.

But soon, she experienced firsthand what the driver meant.

……

"One thousand gantry coins per day for a single room."

After walking out of the hotel, the words from the front desk still seemed to linger in her ears. Standing on the bustling Longmen street, the girl clutched the wallet in her pocket and experienced for the first time what it means to live in the capital, which is not easy. '

...Although Longmen is not the capital city, it is not bad either.

Before coming here, Zhongyue gave her a traveling fee, but Zhongyue never cared about those extraneous things, and he didn't have much income, so the money he could spend was relatively limited.

A lot of the money was used along the way, and half of it was left. Qiu Bai had already prepared for a harder time. He just wanted to rent a room for sleeping and cut back on food, which should be enough.

But after she came to Longmen in person, she realized that even the travel expenses Zhongyue gave her were of no use at all, and they were completely insufficient in a place like Longmen.

The bits and pieces of Longmen coins in her wallet add up to less than [-]. Even if she doesn't eat or drink, she can only rent it for less than three days. After that, she will have to sit on the ground in the open air and drink the northwest wind.

How can this be good?

She didn't care too much about eating in the open and sleeping in the open, but people always have to eat. This cannot be omitted. You can't... go to the teacher who hasn't decided on his name yet, the governor of Longmen to eat and drink, right?

Qiu Bai is a very traditional Yanguo person at heart. In her mind, it is a bit rude to become a teacher without bringing a cultivator with you. What would it be like if you stayed at the teacher's house for food and accommodation?

Even with Zhongyue's face, Mr. Wei probably wouldn't care about such a thing given his status, but she felt very sad about it.

...The knot in her heart was still unresolved, and she didn't want to rely too much on Zhong Yue.

Then, live here first and then find a part-time job to earn some money?

The solution is feasible, but the problem is that besides wielding a sword, she doesn't seem to know how to do anything else. Even if she has martial arts, what's the use in a place like Longmen where even edged weapons are controlled?

Looking at the pedestrians walking on the street, Qiu Bai felt a sense of desolation and despair for a moment.

The prosperity of Longmen belongs only to the people of Longmen, not to her.

He only has so much ability, and the sky is so vast that there is no place for him to stay.

"We're hiring! We're hiring! Penguin Logistics is hiring! Great salary! Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Suddenly, crisp shouts came from far away. Qiu Bai felt his shoulders sink, and a palm fell on it. His whole body tensed instantly, and he instinctively wanted to draw his sword out of its sheath.

Fortunately, she realized right away that this was a dragon gate, not a wild place, and she couldn't hurt anyone. It would be embarrassing and embarrassing if she was caught in prison.

"……What's up."

Qiu Bai forcibly stopped his movements, his tone was a little harsh, he turned his head and looked straight, but he only saw a bright circle of light. His eyes moved downwards, and then he could see the appearance of the person who came. She was a petite Sakota girl, under the circle of light. Her long bright red hair fell to her waist, and there were scattered wings of light behind her. She was not very tall, so she had to stand slightly on her tiptoes to press her shoulders easily.

Qiu Bai mentally summarized the appearance and characteristics of this Sakota girl. His eyes fell on the clothes that seemed too 'advanced' even in the culturally open Longmen, and his eyes gradually became weird.

There's nothing wrong with the shorts on the lower body, but what's up with the large T-shirt on the upper body with a giant penguin printed on it?

Not to mention, the four characters "Penguin Logistics" were written around the penguin in bright handwriting mixed with many colors.

This is bound to...

In comparison, the black and white flyer that was held up to his eyes looked a lot normal.

"Miss, are you new to Longmen? Do you want to consider joining Penguin Logistics? Our treatment is very good!"

"Angel capable, you scared people."

A girl from the Lupo tribe wearing the same clothes came up from behind, pulled the Angel Angel away by her collar, and lectured her expressionlessly.

"Wow, Texas, don't drag me! I didn't even recruit anyone today, that black-hearted penguin will definitely deduct my bonus!"

"I think the boss just wants us to be embarrassed by wearing his printed clothes on the street. He doesn't really expect to recruit people. Besides, your bonus for this month has been deducted."

Texas had a straight face, sighed imperceptibly, nodded towards Qiu Bai and said, "Sorry, my companion disturbed you."

"Ah! How could you say such vicious words!"

As if being struck by lightning, the capable angel suddenly froze in his struggling movements, and his whole body became decadent.

"It's okay."

Seeing this man in strange clothes performing a strange performance in front of him, Qiu Bai couldn't help but take two steps back, his eyes fell on the flyer in Angel Angel's hand, he hesitated for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice: "Penguin Logistics is Where and how much is the salary?"

Facts have proved that the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about worldly relationships and daily necessities.

As the saying goes, a penny can defeat a hero. No matter how great a hero is, he still has to open his mouth to eat.

If you don't want to live under someone else's roof, you can only find a way to earn a living. Now that you happen to meet one, how can you let him go?

With this in mind, Qiu Bai ignored the two eye-catching clothes and went straight to the topic.

"Do you want to come?"

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Neng Angel's eyes lit up, he quickly got closer and explained very quickly: "Penguin Logistics is a logistics company! In layman's terms, it is responsible for delivering food to people, and provides food for free. Su, there are not many companies in Longmen that offer such benefits! In terms of salary..."

When it came to the issue of salary, the capable angel paused for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"The basic salary is 5000 yuan, and there are additional commissions and bonuses for every delivery. However, the city has stricter control recently and there is not much business, so I probably only get the basic salary."

After Texas finished her words, she raised her wrist and looked at the time, not having much hope in recruiting people.

The reason why the emperor let them come out was probably because he had the intention of playing tricks on the powerful angels, and he didn't want to recruit people at all. Even if he brought people over, they probably wouldn't be able to join them.

However, looking at Neng Angel looking like she was enjoying it, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't directly say that we weren't actually recruiting people.

"take me."

Qiu Bai didn't know what level this salary was in Longmen. She only focused on four words, which were 'free board and lodging'. For her, this was enough to have a temporary place to stay. The salary doesn't matter.

……

"Teaching disciples? I haven't done this kind of thing for many years. It seems quite interesting to think about it."

In the study, Wei Yanwu casually threw the letter he had read several times on the table, squinting his eyes with memories flashing in his eyes.

The last time he taught his disciples was when Chen was a child. Later, when the children grew up and went to school in Victoria, he was no longer needed to teach.

Now that I have the opportunity to recruit a young apprentice, it seems good to think about it?

In particular, that person was still a disciple of Grandmaster Yumen, and what he was seeking advice from was the swordsmanship that he was best at and most proud of...

Well, there is also Zhongyue’s handwritten letter...

The Grandmaster has guarded the Jade Gate for a long time and has made outstanding achievements. He has never asked anyone for anything. Now that he has finally opened his mouth, it is not good to refuse.

Moreover, Zhongyue specifically explained that he originally wanted to send the child to the Golden Tree, but felt that it would be better to let someone like Wei teach him instead of leaving it to Lin Lu, so he sent it to Longmen instead.

Doesn't this mean that in Zhongyue's eyes, Wei's swordsmanship is better than that of Lin Lu?

Thinking of this, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but feel proud.

In terms of strength, he definitely couldn't defeat that monster, but when it came to swordsmanship, in the entire Yan Kingdom, he, Wei, had never been afraid of anyone!

Lin Lu, that brash man with big muscles and brains, knows nothing about swordsmanship!

Such a good seedling should be taught by him!

...then accept it.

After hesitating for several days, Wei Yanwu finally made up his mind, raised his hand, and the figure wearing a black raincoat quietly appeared in the study.

"Go and check to see if the kid named Qiu Bai has arrived. Counting the time, it should be almost there."

"Uh, Mr. Wei."

Black coir raincoat bowed and saluted, hesitated for a moment, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "My subordinates were just about to report that the city guards had received news of Miss Qiu Bai's entry, but..."

"Miss Qiu Bai was taken away by people from Penguin Logistics as soon as she entered the city. As you know, we can't get involved in that bar..."

"What did you say?!"

Wei Yanwu stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and there was only one thought in his mind: That black-hearted penguin cut off my beard?

Who is the serious person to go to Penguin Logistics?How can people survive in a place like that?

If a good child is handed over to Huo Huo by Penguin Logistics, how will he explain it to Zhong Yue?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, grabbed the phone on the table, found the number and dialed it. When he heard the drunken talk on the other end of the phone, he roared loudly: "You're still drinking that crap! You're killing me!" Where did the apprentice go?"
