From the mountain city to the water city, it feels very subtle. In the last life, Luo Yu had visited this ancient city, but the city was still a city, but it looked completely different. The ancient city in this virtual world has a more urban flavor. The strong humanistic atmosphere is not comparable to those forests made of steel and cement.

Sitting on a hired black-sailed boat, Yang Xiaodie and Liang Xiu'er reported the information they had investigated after they arrived in advance. Jiang was one of the first batch of open cities and an important gathering place for plot tasks. Therefore, Jiang is a big city at the main city level.

There are many guild forces distributed in this city, but no guild can unify Jiangdu. In fact, the interests of ruling Jiangdu are far less than those of pioneering in the west and north. Therefore, these guilds tacitly maintain the distribution of interests in Jiangdu. On the one hand, they do not give the newly rising young guild opportunities. On the other hand, they are using Jiangdu to absorb resources and talents, and then supply them to the new tuo land in the north of the west to make a fortune.

Under the joint maintenance of all major forces, cities like Jiangdu seem extremely harmonious. Even the situation where the power of the big guild oppresses small guilds and scattered players seems to be relatively mild here. For example, the tax on resource points is much lower than other cities that Luo Yu has visited, and generally only charges a tax of 15%, which is still very beneficial to the growth of newcomers.

However, over the years, there have been no new large-scale guild forces in Jiangdu. In fact, smart people understand that once new people rise, they will be suppressed by large guilds. Of course, the methods are diverse. They may not be cruel and bloody. Sometimes they just use the differentiation of interests to tempt them. The purpose of killing is achieved without bloodshed.

In short, Jiang is a peaceful and harmonious place. With beautiful scenery and cultural heritage, Jiangdu is definitely one of the most representative cities in the martial arts world.

Luo Yu leaned on the armrest of the seat in the initiator cabin and looked at the two girls with a smile. One hand was a snack made by Liang Xiu'er, and the other hand was a light tea made by Yang Xiaodie. Listening to the little girl's pleasant voice in his ears, it was a great enjoyment in life. It was indeed a loli.

"Uncle, this is the basic information in Jiangdu. Do you still have to listen to the details of the gang?"

Yang Xiaodie was dry and asked with a smile while drinking water to moisten her throat. She didn't feel impatient at all. Luo Yu felt that Yang Xiaodie became more like a woman, especially her smile, which was less naughty and more gentle.

"No need, I just have a rough understanding of the strength of these guilds staying behind. Based on twenty-four hours, can you estimate the personnel they can mobilize?"

Yang Xiaodie raised her eyebrows proudly: "Is this a little bit of meaning, do you have to count it?"

"No need, you can calculate this matter as well as others, let them calculate it by themselves. Xiu'er. Are your brother and the others in place?"

"Well, Sister Yanzi said she could do some movements around Jiangdu at any time, but it was just spreading rumors. I'm afraid it would be difficult to mobilize their power."

"No need to spread rumors, Jiang is a place where a large number of plot tasks gather. There are many hidden plots that have not been discovered, so they can use the things I gave you. Although it is just some speculation, as long as there is a slight chance, it will attract a large number of players to compete with, and their attention will naturally be attracted by it."

Liang Xiu'er blinked. Although she didn't understand very much, she still nodded seriously: "I understand."

Fang Shi turned to Yang Xiaodie again: "What about the news from Xiangxiang?"

"The Giant Jinyuan Valley in the west of Baling City has not been broken yet. It should be said that the attack has not started yet. Sister Xiangxiang probably will have to be two or three days at the fastest. If Zhao Ying and the others make trouble for a little more, they will probably be able to delay for two days."

"Very good, time is enough, and now everything is ready, but the east wind is missing!"

"I've seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"

Liang Xiu'er said happily, and Luo Yu looked at Liang Xiu'er in surprise: "I didn't expect Xiu'er to read classical works!"

"Well, well, I like ancient literature and history the most."

"Okay, history is wisdom, I support you!"

Liang Xiu'er smiled happily, Yang Xiaodie rolled her eyes and secretly curled her lips, "Uncle, can we start now?"

"Yes, now we can start. According to the distribution map of the wooden shop you prepared, we will look at it one by one."

Yang Xiaodie nodded, and Liang Xiuer happily applauded. Women are born to like shopping, not to mention that shopping with the person they like is more perfect.

Yang Xiaodie glanced at Liang Xiu'er, leaned forward, put her hands on the table, held her cheeks and blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo Yu, asking, "Uncle, why is it a wooden shop? How did you see it? Do you know the origin of these boxes?"

Luo Yu smiled and shook his head: "How could I know the origin of the box? Of course, this kind of thing was speculated. Do you remember a report you transferred to me?"

"About the box? A lot, I don't remember."

"It is a report on the process characteristics and craftsmanship level of the box, as well as box material analysis."

"Uh, I don't remember the content."

Yang Xiaodie was a little ashamed, and Luo Yu smiled slightly. Not everyone has a super memory. Maybe Yang Xiaodie will have it in the future, but not now.

"The report mentioned an important information, that is, the box is exquisitely crafted and has a superb level. What's more interesting is that the composition characteristics above are from the Spring and Autumn Period or the early Western Zhou Dynasty. With the number of boxes, these can easily make people think about it."

Yang Xiaodie smiled: "It seems that most people don't have any associations, only you connect this with the Momen."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "First of all, I didn't connect this box with the Momen at once. Secondly, there are also the contributions of you two!"

Yang Xiaodie was stunned, and Liang Xiuer asked happily: "Really?!"

Luo Yu nodded with certainty: "That's right, I remember Xiu'er once said that if you want to advance to a master chef, you need to eat all the world's food. Xiaodie, you have also collected some ancient paintings for those painters who want to advance, right?"

The two girls nodded vigorously, Luo Yu continued: "Connect this information with the previous box. If this box is of superb level, then it will naturally become an observation object for carpenters or lacquer masters. So, at the beginning, I just wanted to find some old craftsmen. Maybe they will have some understanding of these ancient boxes. You must know that everything that appears in the system has a foundation."

"So, the uncle is looking for the foundation of the box, and the clue is those old carpenters?"

"By the way!"

Luo Yu nodded with a smile, with a hint of pride on his face. Yang Xiaodie secretly smiled. This is called to meet his preferences. Sister Xiangxiang taught him, and it really scratched the uncle's itch. It's so easy to deal with men!

However, Yang Xiaodie still admired the uncle very much. After all, no one else expected what the uncle thought of. The uncle was busy practicing martial arts all day long and still had the time to think about so many things. What he thought about was to challenge the heroes of the world with his fists. In fact, with his mind, he already had one place among the heroes of the world, and he was the one standing at the highest peak.

Nowadays, all the heroes in the world are being cleverly mobilized by him, and he is just a little ranger. The uncle still hasn't seen his advantages clearly. What's the point of fighting and killing? It's cool to be wiped out in ashes while chatting and laughing!

Of course, Luo Yu didn't know that there were so many things in Yang Xiaodie's little head. If he knew about it, he would definitely be shocked, and he was so embarrassed that he could find a crack in the ground to get in. Every girl should not be underestimated.

Liang Xiu'er blinked and asked in confusion: "But uncle, how did you find the person who knows the origin of the box from so many system wood shops?"

Luo Yu smiled and replied, "This requires strong observation."

"Observation? Then I must take a closer look later."

Yang Xiaodie waved her fist confidently, and Liang Xiuer also excitedly raised her right hand and said, "I want it too!"

Jiangdu’s shops are very distinctive. They usually have two doors, one is the main entrance, and the other is the water gate, which is behind the store and facing the river. Guests can enter the store from which door, which makes it very convenient for players who like to take a boat.

After a while, the sound of the shipman came and their first destination arrived.

This is a very old shop. The store is not large in size, with only one master and one young man. The business in the shop is not very good. This kind of wooden shop is not very useful to players. There are not many wooden props available. Except for some tasks, players rarely get into these shops.

However, for ordinary NPCs, this kind of wooden shop is an indispensable part of it. It has everything from furniture to a wooden comb or toys.

Although the store was small and the business was not good, it was cleaned up completely. The master was still patiently carving a dressing box on the workbench behind the counter, and ignored Luo Yu and the other two who entered the store. He didn't even turn around. Instead, the young man greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to buy something? The store has complete goods, reasonable prices and guaranteed quality. Please feel free to buy."

Luo Yu nodded and smiled: "Let's see, I'll call you if you need it."

The man smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he stood obediently and looked outside, instead of staring at Luo Yu and others in the store. This was a smart shop guy.

Luo Yu picked up a few things and looked at them. Yang Xiaodie and Liang Xiuer waited until Luo Yu put them down and rushed to pick them up and observe them, but they couldn't tell anything after tossing and turning.

At this time, Fang Shi had already walked to the counter, turned his head and looked at the direction of the door, reached out and gently placed a wooden box on the counter: "Shopkeeper, will you accept this antique wooden utensil?"

"antique?"

The shopkeeper who was busy working put down what he was in his hand, slowly turned his head to look at the things on the counter, then his eyes lit up, and he glanced at Luo Yu and others in surprise: "Please, let me take a look." (To be continued...)
