Chapter 5 City of Miracles
Xuan Yi put the other things he bought into his backpack first, his eyebrows frowned slightly.
But Kura San will never make any unfulfilled requests, so there will be a way to obtain this truffle, and Kura San believes that he will definitely be able to obtain it, so there is no need for extra advice.
He had a total of ten hours of activity, but in fact this time would only be shorter and not longer. The shortening range was determined by the speed of death they found in Xinghedu.
It took more than 30 minutes to write a letter to my sister to report safety. It took more than two hours to send Lan Liuyan's remains due to the journey. It took more than three hours to buy these gifts for visiting. The truffle has not been finally settled, which made Xuan Yi quite annoyed.
If he has enough ten hours, he can take the rail train to reach the largest truffle production site in the mainland for three hours, and then buy it and return in three hours. Ten hours are almost enough, but it is almost impossible to squeeze all this work into these ten hours.
Xuan Yi walked on the streets of Xingcheng. Dark Star's uniform made everyone silently stay away from him one meter away. Although Xingcheng was located near the sea, the latitude was low. It was June again, and the whole city was still as hot as a huge steamer. Xuan Yi did not have the ability of orchid and bamboo sounds. His continuous running and unstoppable made his whole body soaked in sweat. This was not a combat uniform that could relieve sweat. While he was unwell, he became a little bored.
At this moment, Xuan looked up and saw a large advertisement, and his eyes lit up.
"The Ministry of Industry's latest invention is the latest locomotive that can travel 700 kilometers in a standard crystal that you deserve!"
How can I forget this black technology?
Xuan Yi shook his head with self-deprecating self-deprecating.
...
...
Finding the idea to solve the problem will make the rest much simpler.
Although the scientific and technological power of the Ancient Ministry is the best in the world in terms of talent and technological reserves, it is a specialized department that focuses on the research of weapons and combat equipment. If you really want to find all-inclusive black technology, you will eventually rely on the Ministry of Works Yu Heng Qingli Department.
Before the rise of the first magic industrial revolution, which was triggered by Emperor Tianwu and the Ninth Princess, but reunited, the Yu Heng Qing Lishu was just an ordinary department that supervised the production of coins and made official objects. However, as the wave of the magic industrial revolution gradually spread to the whole world, the official manufacturing department of the Yu Heng Qing Lishu gradually expanded into the Ministry of Works, and even the six departments with the greatest power. The successive governors of the Ministry of Works basically climbed up from the position of Director of the Department of Works of Yu Heng Qing Lishu.
Today, the Yuheng Qingli Office is almost the same as the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of almost all aspects of research and development, design, manufacturing, etc. It has countless super enterprises of the giant level, with great power and great benefits, making the word Qingli increasingly unworthy.
As for why we were looking for Yu Heng Qing Lisi, if Xuan Yi remembered correctly, they had been promoting the progress of artificial cultivation of rare ingredients before coming in, and as for the latest breakthroughs recently.
That's right, it's truffle.
...
...
If you are an ordinary person, it will be difficult to go to Yuheng Qinglishu to steal their scientific research products, and it may even be killed. However, if you add this tiger skin of the Angle, everything will not be so difficult.
Although theoretically, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice who is responsible for supervising the Sixth Ministry, this is only theoretically.
Due to the existence of the Dark World, the entire Star City is in the shadow of the Dark World. No matter how powerful you are in your own department, as long as you are not a governor, any specialist of the Dark World comes to you for tea, your heart and soul will tremble a few times first.
After another coaxing, threatening, and tempting, Xuan Yi had been a secret agent for so long, and was naturally familiar with this kind of job. Of course, thanks to his wigs and contact lenses, otherwise he would look like a pariah. Not to mention that he was just a commissioner of the Executive Department, even the director of the Executive Department would not be easy to use.
In Star City, bloodline is actually the most important pass.
In short, Xuan Yi bought fresh black truffles with just picked with soil for 15,000 star yuan. According to the other party, the cost of these three pounds of black truffles exceeded 20 million star yuan.
But what happened to Guan Xuan? Anyway, as long as he knows that the market price of a pound of black truffle is only 4,000 stars. Unless someone else's mind is in trouble, no one will buy a mere three pounds of black truffle with 20 million stars and cannot be called the best black truffle.
After finally buying the four delicacies mentioned by Kuzu San, Xuan took the subway first and then rented a quick carriage before finally coming to the so-called Toutiaoxiang.
Jiu San never told Xuan Yi where he lived, just as Xuan Yi never told Jiu San that he lived in the small wooden house on the outskirts of the city.
But the only difference is that Xuan Yi really doesn't know where Jiu San lives here, but Jiu San knows where Xuan Yi lives, and even knows Xing Lihua's name.
But Xuan Yi had heard of the name Douli Lane and had been here many times.
Because it is located on the edge of the largest slum in Xingcheng, it is almost at the junction of civilization and barbarism.
The slum is a wound to a city's decay. Although the Star City, which now has a permanent population of more than 10 million, has expanded many times based on the old city a thousand years ago, it is still difficult to accommodate such a huge population. Moreover, the pure blood Star City people who are truly in a dominant position have not crossed the million mark so far.
In other words, Star City is a city with only one million people, and the others are just animals and slaves.
The various factories spread across the edge of Star City were filled with such free slaves, using their flesh and blood to squeeze endless wealth and various luxury goods for the nobles to enjoy.
But even slaves, there is a gap.
A high-quality slave can spend all his money in a bustling area near the city center, renting or buying a luxury property for generations, while a medium-sized slave can borrow money from a bank and carry a debt that is so heavy that it may not be able to pay for the rest of his life in exchange for a small brick and stone cement box to accommodate his humble family.
As for the inferior slaves, they could only wander on the edge of the slums and between shacks and low-rent housing, which depended on their current income level, worked hard all their lives, but could only die in poverty and loneliness, allowing their children to continue in the same cycle as him.
And under slaves, there is also the class of untouchables.
It is also an invisible person.
Most of them live in slums. Because of their low bloodline, they cannot engage in any decent job. They are responsible for dirty and lowly jobs such as cleaning and disposing of garbage, stools, and seizing corpses. Even such a job requires a fight to fight. After all, getting a job means getting food.
In Xuanyi's opinion, they were worse than the most despicable walking corpse. They only knew how to live in a daze, struggled in the mud and died in the mud and water.
Although Xuan Yi didn't know his origin, he thought that he would probably come from here. After being collected by Dark Star, he would slowly train and make it a useful human-shaped weapon.
While thinking about this, the young man had already arrived outside the door sign No. 307, Douli Lane, and passed the stall of sewage in front of the door. He gently knocked on the wooden door that was almost decayed.
No one answered.
