Chapter 485: Central City of Turlington
Chapter 485: Central City of Turlington
Time passed unknowingly and it was July, the hottest month of the year. After more than ten days, Liu Chi confirmed that Maggie had entered a bottleneck period. If she wanted to improve her strength, she would have to use a new furnace.
After confirming this information, Liu Chi took the two of them to the fortress, heading for Turlington, a large city in the central region of the Sunset Empire.
Although Turlington is located in the northern region of the Sunset map, excluding the almost uninhabited mountains in the south, Turlington's geographical location is the real central region for the Sunset Empire.
As the central region of a large country, Turlington has a very obvious characteristic, that is, there are an absolute number of local people here, and you can hardly meet foreigners here. At the same time, as the transportation hub of the Sunset Empire in the central region, Turlington has some affiliated small towns in addition to the main urban area, which exist in the form of an interlocking circle.
If we only look at the territory area, then Turlington is undoubtedly the largest city in the Sunset Empire, but in terms of useful urban area, it can only rank fifth in the entire Sunset Empire.
Yanagiike was sweating profusely in the gym on the fortress, ignoring time and exercising until Nanako reminded him.
"Liu Chi, Turlington is here!"
Nanako's rabbit-form holographic projection flew past Yanagiike and stopped in his sight.
"So fast?"
Feeling the pleasure of sweating, Liu Chi exhaled lightly and asked the rabbit in front of him.
"When we go to the mines to get resources to repair the fortress this time, the repair work will be even faster."
As he spoke, the rabbit slowly transformed into the appearance of a beautiful girl.
"So when are we going to get this batch of ore?"
As he spoke, Liu Chi started exercising again. Lying on the fitness chair, he was lifting a barbell with all his strength.
"The mine that was given to me last time has been mined to the most extent by the machines, and can be closed at any time. The last bit left is basically impurities, and removing the impurities is already higher than its actual value."
Liu Chi put down the barbell, picked up the towel beside him, wiped the sweat off his face, and said,
"One week. I'll be at Turlington for a week."
Nanako smiled and nodded, then jumped and disappeared in front of Yanagiike. As she disappeared, her voice rang out beside her.
"During this period, please be careful and if you really need it, don't forget Atlantis."
Liu Chi sighed softly and remembered that Nanako had just mentioned the Black Pearl. Out of respect for Alice, although Liu Chi had the authority of the Black Pearl, he had never checked it once, let alone used it.
Afterwards, Liu Chi set up automatic cleaning of the gym in the technology system and returned to the room to take a shower.
Because it was afternoon, Liu Chi took a shower and changed his clothes, then talked to Maggie through the technology system.
"Maggie, we're in Turlington, come here in the hall."
After conveying the words to the room where Maggie was, Liu Chi stood in front of the mirror, carefully taking care of his image. Soon he got up and left the room, walking towards the hall of the fortress.
From a distance, Liu Chi saw the two of them huddled on a chair, looking very intimate. Perhaps they sensed Liu Chi's arrival, and the two of them slowly separated by a short distance.
After walking in front of the two people, Liu Chi said,
"This time, I plan to stay in Turlington for a week, playing and practicing at the same time."
Maggie and Polly looked at Liu Chi curiously. The sudden notification to come to the city did give the two people who were under high pressure a little surprise, but why did they have to stay for a week?
After thinking of many possibilities, the two of them still showed excitement with anticipation. As the scenery in front of them flashed, the three of them appeared directly in the city of Turlington.
The sudden appearance of the three people instantly attracted the attention of everyone around them. Curious people didn't care whether the three people were handsome or beautiful, they were curious about who among the three people in front of them was the space magician.
Although everyone was very curious, no one dared to step forward to ask. After Liu Chi and the other two walked for a while, the people around them gradually stopped recognizing them, and no one remembered that three people had come to the city via teleportation magic not long ago.
After opening the soul realm and sensing the basic situation in the city for a while, Liu Chi already had a model of the entire main urban area of Turlington in his brain.
"Maggie, you and Polly go find a hotel first. I'm going to do something and come to see you later."
Maggie smiled and responded to Liu Chi,
"Okay! Lord Liuchi, don't worry."
Then the three of them parted on the road.
After parting with the two people, Liu Chi directly put on his armor when passing through an empty alley, and then moved at high speed on the street.
Moving at high speed, Liu Chi soon arrived at the United Guild in Turlington.
As an inland central city, a major source of income for Turlington comes from adventurers. Adventurers collect various materials or meat, purchase them through the United Guild, and then sell them to the Chamber of Commerce. Finally, after several changes of hands, they finally reach the hands of consumers.
The moment he entered the United Guild, Liu Chi attracted a group of people's attention. Their eyes revealed unfriendly feelings towards the fully armed guy in front of them.
Those who can gain a foothold in the United Guild basically know each other, and Liu Chi's unfamiliar face will naturally make people suspicious. Coupled with Liu Chi's unintentional movements, he was labeled as pretentious by this group of rough guys.
Before Liu Chi could walk to the counter, he was blocked by a woman.
Looking at the woman with deep smoky makeup in front of him, Liu Chi lowered his head slightly and said,
"Please step aside."
The woman ignored Liu Chi and smiled.
"Your voice is quite nice. Why do you have to be fully armed to go to the United Guild? Why don't you go to your sister's place tonight and I'll have some fun with you?"
Looking at the woman's contemptuous smile, Liu Chi knew that it was because the armor was too conspicuous that caused trouble for others. However, this was exactly the effect Liu Chi wanted. It was also something he had to endure in order to become famous quickly.
"I don't think that's necessary. Why don't you take a look at my next commission? I wonder if you are interested."
The woman became curious. Looking at Liu Chi's armor, she naturally thought he was an adventurer and didn't even consider him as a client. After hearing what Liu Chi said, she gave way angrily and followed him to a table closest to the counter.
After arriving at the counter, Liu Chi did not waste any more time talking, but directly took out fifty diamond coins and said to the counter lady,
"Recruiting two guards. The requirements are that they must be under 24 years old and have the strength of an intermediate magician. Of course, the higher the better. They must also pass a disease check. They will guard for seven days and six nights. The payment will be based on their strength, with a minimum of thirty diamond coins per day."
After listening to Liu Chi's explanation, the lady at the counter was stunned for a moment. What kind of guards were they recruiting? The price of thirty diamond coins a day was as outrageous as selling a bottle of Nongfu Spring water for fifty-one yuan, which originally cost two yuan.
"Are you sure? Sir, the United Guild is not a place for jokes."
"That's absolutely true, but I want to be selective about the adventurers who sign up."
In order to express his sincerity, Liu Chi took out a bag of diamond coins, opened the bag and showed it to the poster girl.
After confirming that Liuchi had sufficient funds, the poster girl spoke up.
"Sir, because the amount involved in your commission is huge, if it is for seven days, according to the minimum standard, you need to pay a deposit of one-third. Together with our service fee, you need to pay a lump sum of 135 diamond coins."
Liu Chi didn't say anything, but put the 135 diamond coins directly on the counter.
After seeing Liu Chi paying money to the United Guild, those who were paying attention to Liu Chi silently labeled Liu Chi in their hearts, that is - not easy to mess with, rich.
The woman who had just blocked the road, after seeing Liu Chi taking out the money, began to think about what the "guard" Liu Chi was talking about was.
After issuing the commission, Liu Chi chose a seat against the wall and sat down and ordered some drinks.
Soon, the staff responsible for posting the commissions posted them on the bulletin boards around the United Guild Hall.
Soon, the entrance to Liu Chi's client was filled with people. Some were regretting why they were not a woman, and some even went back to dress up as women after seeing the client, trying to get away with it.
After several hours of fermentation, the matter had spread among all the practitioners in Turlington. Some people took it as an opportunity to turn things around, some treated it as a joke, and some even dismissed it.
