Desiya and another white-haired old man came over.

"This is the village chief of Aru Village, Uncle Anpu."

Desiya introduced.

"Uncle Anpu, hello, my name is Rod."

According to the desert etiquette he learned these days, Rhodes put his right hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly.

"I heard everything from Disiya."

"Poor child, please forgive me."

When Chief Anpu said this, Rhodes couldn't help but look up at Disiya.

It seems.

I can no longer take away the reputation of having all my relatives killed by desert robbers.

But Rhodes didn't intend to explain.

Having a tragic background may not be useful in front of the tribal people, but in the pure land of Aru Village, it is very useful. I am a newbie here and am not familiar with the place. It is also very useful to use this matter to gain some benefits for myself. OK

soon.

What Rhodes wanted to hear came out from the mouth of Village Chief Anpu.

"There happen to be some vacant houses in the village right now. Let Desiya help you choose one."

"As for the rent of the house."

"I can decide not to accept you in the first month. It won't be too late to give it to you when you have a job and earn Mora."

Under normal circumstances, the rules for renting a house in Aru Village are the same as those in the rainforest area.

That is to say, the rent must be paid in advance and cannot be delayed. After all, desert people have few ways to make money. This rent may not seem much, but it is an indispensable monthly income for the villagers.

Being able to get Rhodes to pay one month's rent on credit is the limit that Village Chief Anpu can achieve.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Anpu."

Rhodes saluted again gratefully.

Chapter 5 Suitable Job

When it comes to renting a house, you can't just pick one casually. You still have to consider the cost-effectiveness issue.

the reason is simple.

No money.

Not at all.

Rhodes calculated by himself that he now has more than 2,000 molas in total.

This was something he collected from killing bandits in the desert during this period.

Mora, this kind of gold coin with a special pattern is the common currency on the continent of Teyvat and can be used no matter which country you go to.

One good thing about a universal currency is that it does not involve troublesome issues such as exchange rates.

It's just that in different countries and regions, Mora's income and purchasing power are different.

For example, in Liyue Port, which is known as the most prosperous dock in Teyvat, even the porters at the dock can earn at least two to three thousand moras a day, but they also spend more when they earn more, and basically have a meal. The rice has to be several hundred molas too big.

In the barren desert area, Rhodes raided all the robbers who made a living by robbing, and in the end he only found this little money.

Lack of financial resources.

This is also a big problem in desert areas.

The cause of this problem, in addition to the environmental problems of the desert itself, is the suppression from the Xumi Order.

Talk about this.

Even Rhodes' outsiders couldn't help but shake their heads.

People from the same country can enjoy a resource-rich material life, receive high-quality education, and travel to other countries to engage in scientific research. However, people in another area are mostly precarious and cannot even eat or drink. Water is a problem. Such harsh conditions, let alone public health and education, are not allowed to even obtain some supplies through normal transactions.

Rabbits will bite when they are anxious.

Not to mention these extremely poor desert people in the desert.

As a result, the desert area of ​​​​Xumiru became the most vicious place known throughout the Teyvat continent.

After killing the group of Tanit robbers, Rhodes wandered in the desert for nearly a month and fully experienced the cruelty here.

Desert areas are not suitable for farming and there are few oases.

Those desert people who occupied the oasis and were powerful in force still had sufficient means of survival. No matter hunting, planting or robbing, no matter what method they used, they always found a way to continue the tribe.

But what about those desert people who are weak in force?

Rhodes had seen with his own eyes how the weak desert people struggled to survive in the desert.

Grass roots, bark, insects, and corpses are their daily food.

Fresh vegetables and meat?

That’s the food of dreams! ! !

Some people who were so hungry that they even dared to stuff sand into their stomachs were eventually bloated to death.

Rod is a well-educated modern young man.

Therefore, he felt compassion for a moment and distributed the food he finally obtained to the hungry desert people.

Finally got it.

But it was the desert people whose eyes glowed green, who looked like hungry wolves, who had a raging murderous intention after eating and drinking. The reason for killing the savior was just to steal all the food and water from Rhodes.

After that time, Rhodes' heart became a cold stone.

Even if someone begged him to give him some food, he would not be moved at all.

Poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.

This sentence is very appropriate to describe the current situation of desert people.

Although the source of everything comes from the all-round blockade and sanctions imposed by the Holy Order on the desert, this cannot change Rhodes' extremely bad stereotype of desert people.

Of course.

Disiya, who is also a desert dweller, is not included in this list.

Compared to those desert people who treat human life as worthless, the kind and enthusiastic Dishiya doesn't even look like someone who came out of the desert.

"This one? It's just average. It's a bit far from the village. It's very inconvenient to walk a long way to get water. Besides, there's not even a pot at home."

"This house is nice. It's just right for you to live alone. It also has a well. But the house is a little dilapidated and you have to repair it yourself."

"Hey~ This house is nice. It's fully furnished, has a well and a pot, and the house is pretty good. Oh, and there's a separate toilet, but the rent is a bit expensive. By the way, do you have money? If not, I can borrow it first I’ll give you some, and I’ll pay you back when you find a job and get paid.”

Disia enthusiastically helped Rhodes choose a house. Her selection criteria were very simple. There were pots for cooking and wells for water. These were the best conditions. The one with a toilet was even more of an unexpected surprise. .

Of course.

The rent for this fully-equipped house is also the most expensive among the empty houses. It costs 1,500 molas a month. The total money Rhodes has in his entire body is enough to live in it for a month and a half.

Compared with other houses whose rent only costs three to five hundred molara a month, this house is obviously not something that Rhodes can afford now.

Disiya saw his current predicament and generously said that he could borrow some money first.

"Which job in Aru Village is more profitable? You should know something about it since you come here often, right?"

Rhodes did not answer Disiya directly, but asked about work.

The Blazing Hunters are not a wealthy mercenary group.

Rhodes has a pretty good relationship with the members of the Blazing Hunters. From their mouths, he roughly learned about the current financial situation of the Blazing Hunters.

how to say.

The daily expenses are definitely enough, but if they have sufficient savings, then they are really not that wealthy.

Knowing that he was unwilling to borrow money from her, Dixia smiled helplessly, and after thinking for a while, she said: "There are many jobs in Aru Village, but if you want to make the most money, be a guard of the village. "

"guard?"

Rhodes frowned slightly.

Although he didn't know much about the desert tribes, he also knew that in a large village like Aru Village, guards definitely didn't make the most money.

"The guarding I'm talking about is the best job for you right now."

Seeing that Rhodes had some doubts about this, Dixia quickly explained: "If you want to say that the people who make the most money in the village, they must be the merchants in the village, and there are also the hunters who are responsible for hunting. But with such a job, you can't With her current status, Candice probably wouldn’t agree even if she wanted to do it.”

After saying this, Rhodes understood.

Right.

No matter how Aru Village is a pure land, it is also a part of the desert.

Although the old-fashioned tribal system that emphasizes survival of the fittest has not been followed, the most basic exclusivity is still there. For Rhodes, who is no different from an outsider, it is naturally impossible to hand over some positions that are very important to the village now. For him.

As for the guards.

The literal meaning is Aru Village Guard, responsible for guarding the safety of Aru Village and daily patrols and other tasks.

In fact, this is also a very important position.

Logically speaking, it would not be Rhodes' turn to take up the responsibility.

But there are always some exceptions to everything.

All guards in Aru Village are under the direct jurisdiction of Candice, and she has all the power of appointment and dismissal.

in other words.

If Rhodes wants to apply for a guard job, he only needs to pass Candice's assessment.

If you look at it this way.

Rhodes is a holder of the Eye of God. Although his level of development is not too high and he does not know martial arts, he can be regarded as a very good combat power.

With this kind of advantage coupled with Desiya's sponsorship, it should be no problem to get a guard job.

"Okay, then I'll apply for the guard job."

With a clear idea, Rhodes nodded directly.

Chapter 6 The Current Situation of the Desert

After selecting the house and confirming it with Uncle Amp, Rhodes signed the contract with the owner and got the key.

Holding the contract in his hand, Rhodes felt quite emotional.

In other areas of the desert, this thing is just a piece of waste paper, but in Aru Village, the effectiveness of the contract is no less than that of Liyue, the country of the contract. As long as the contract is successfully signed, no one will violate it, otherwise it will It will lead to Candice's personal pursuit.

This also made Rhodes once again realize the status of the name Candice in Aru Village.

After choosing a house, the next step is to stock up on basic living supplies.

The house is fully furnished and has a ready-made well for drinking water. Except for the fact that it needs to be cleaned after being unoccupied for a long time, it basically meets the conditions for move-in.

And Rhodes still needs to prepare something now.

They are daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, bedding, and candles.

Under the leadership of Desiya, Rhodes followed to a grocery store.

"Aru Village holds a two-day market on the first and last days of every month. At that time, merchants from the rainforest area and those from the desert area will gather in the central square of the village to set up stalls. There will be many good products. Something to sell.”

"It's not the right time yet, so just make do with it."

After talking about the market, Desiya began to introduce the store in front of her: "This is Uncle Bud's store. If you need anything in the future, just come to him to buy it."

Compared to Aru Village, the products in this store can be described as a dazzling array.
