Chapter 481 Two Male Guests Upstairs
Chapter 481 Two Male Guests Upstairs
"This Orochimaru is really lame"
In sharing space.
Hokage Lee complained.
"After all, he is just a native Orochimaru, who has gained a little bit of the ability to travel through time, but he himself still remains in the early version."
Li Harry followed up with a sentence.
"It's not surprising that he was beaten by Wang Ye and our clones. Moreover, we in this world are very smart. The set of golden fingers he constructed has reduced his danger to the lowest level. Therefore, there is no need for us to continue paying attention to him. Let's move on to another one."
"it is good."
"Lee Elden, looking for a new world."
"Um"
A response came back from the void.
As the void threads that explored the world trembled, the image on the screen changed again.——
Anaconda Desert
The Obsidian Road, an oasis along the way.
Li Zhongren was hanging on the sharp thorn of a cactus that only grows in the desert, resting his hands on his head, enjoying the coolness under the shade of the trees.
He traveled to a different world.
A very standard world of swords and magic.
A world of swords and magic that is also very lifelike.
How to describe it?
This world is chaotic and complex, but it is also running stably.
It doesn’t have the kind of settings that are seen in later online novels, which are like a countdown, and will soon give you a big problem.
Instead, it feels like the real world, stable and complex.
He opened his eyes and traveled here, wearing.
He thought he would die in the desert, but was rescued by the people living in this oasis tribe.
The people in this oasis were kind-hearted. After observing him for a few days, they released him. However, at first, there was a language barrier and he couldn't communicate with them. It took him a whole year to learn their language.
To be honest, this makes Li Zhongren quite proud. In his previous life, he didn't learn English so fast.
In this regard, he could only say that environment is really important for learning a language.
After that, he learned a lot of things from the people in the tribe.
At the same time, he also found a job in the tribe because of some knowledge he brought from Earth.
What work?
In the distance, the sound of camel bells was heard.
In the steaming heat, a group of people continued to walk towards here from the depths of the desert.
This is a caravan.
In fact, almost all the people who come to Cactus Oasis are either caravans or adventurers.
After all, who would cross the desert, even if there was an Obsidian Road to guide them? (The Obsidian Road is a road that crosses the Anauroch Desert. It was formed due to the unique landform. There is a lot of obsidian underneath. The wind and sand have blown it out of the ground like a reef. If you look down from the sky, it looks like a road.)
"Welcome to Cactus Oasis Hot Springs and Bath Center."
A loud voice was heard at the entrance of the oasis.
"Hot spring bath center?"
The dusty businessman was stunned for a moment, looking at the exquisite sign carved out of pure wood not far away, on which was a line of words written in the common language.
"When did this place become a hot spring bathing center?"
"it's been a while."
The waiter replied with a smile.
"Now when you live and rest here, you can enjoy hot spring baths, rest, eat, and other activities. You pay once, and except for a few special services, all other services are available to you."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the businessman couldn't help but become interested.
As a traveling merchant, what he often does is reselling goods. He is on the road most of the year, so it is not uncommon for him to be tired. If there really is such a place, as long as the price is right, he doesn't mind enjoying it.
"Then you can take a look at this."
As he spoke, the waiter handed over a flyer.
After receiving the flyer, the businessman's eyes flashed with a strange color again. This novel way of promotion was really true. Although it was the first time he saw it, this combination of pictures and texts made him understand what kind of leisure method it was.
The convoy slowly drove to the parking lot, where the camels could drink enough water and eat enough grass, and of course, the people too, could take a rest and then get back on the road. Of course, they had to pay for this.
However, if you buy a ticket to this so-called hot spring bathing center, then all of the above will become free.
"Brother, how about we give it a try?"
The younger brother of the businessman just now came over and looked at the flyer in his hand, his eyes full of curiosity, especially the last page of the flyer, which showed a group of exotic dancers. At the same time, the text also vaguely hinted that dancers could be invited. As for what they were invited for, those who understood would understand.
"Ah."
The businessman nodded.
Originally, he was a little reluctant to go, not because he was sorry for the money. Apart from the dancer his brother liked, there were a few other items that required additional charges. The rest of the items combined only cost three silver coins per person. For the lowest class of people, it was certainly not cheap, but for people like them who were doing business, it was really very suitable.
However, as a traveling merchant, he was more concerned about safety, both his own and that of his goods.
His own safety is easy to worry about, as he and his brother are both successful in practicing fighting spirit.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing business.
Nowadays, if a traveling merchant doesn't have some skills, he is no different from a pig. The bullies, robbers, and thieves along the way, and even the greedy lords you meet in some towns, will all teach you a lesson.
The main thing is, they all go to enjoy themselves, how to deal with the safety of the goods.
In the caravan, besides the two brothers, there was a group of people who all came from the same place and followed them to fight. They could leave a few people behind to guard the goods, but the problem was that except for the two brothers, the others could not fight.
However, the managers of this place have already considered this issue.
It can actually provide fortress services to caravans.
To put it simply, they are independent large warehouses built in desert oases where convoys can park, and then the gates are locked from the inside. The people left behind are responsible for guarding the convoy, and the gates will only be opened when their own people return.
The risk problem is solved from the root.
Let's go see the fort first.
"I've finished watching, bro."
The businessman's brother chuckled a few times.
"The finest wood and rock construction."
“The wall is more than a meter thick.”
"Even if it's just the two of us, it will take time to completely blast open that door."
"Fine."
The merchant shook his head and drew lots to leave two people to guard the convoy, while the rest of the people went into the hot spring to take a bath.
"Comfortable."
In the hot spring, the businessman and his brother were enjoying it quietly.
From time to time, some bubbles appear in the pool.
"It really cost a lot of money."
"indeed."
The merchant's younger brother also echoed.
After all, this is not an open-air place, but a huge circular dome building, from which they can feel the flavor of earth magic.
There is no doubt that this was built by an earth magician.
In fact, this is not a rare thing. In their world, earth magicians are not only the most defensive magicians, but also the best construction magicians. The only disadvantage is that they are expensive. However, this expensiveness is your disadvantage, not the disadvantage of earth magicians.
After that, there were also hand cards, buffets, lounges, and other services. Although they hadn't had time to enjoy them yet, they knew it was right just by looking at them.
Among them, what surprised the brothers the most was not the dancer's service, but the bath scrubbing.
So much dirt can be rubbed out of a person's body. This really breaks their worldview.
In particular, the oasis natives who were called bath masters could actually "carry lanterns". To be honest, they were really shocked. This was because they had traveled a lot, but if it were someone who had never left the town in their entire lives, they would probably not be able to accept this shock.
"There must be a master behind this."
He gently patted the hot spring water.
The businessman sighed.
"What master?"
"Although this place is new, it takes a glance to understand it. What a master."
"You."
The businessman shook his head and was too lazy to explain to his brother. After all, his brother's brain was average, but he was more talented than him in cultivating fighting spirit. Therefore, he didn't need to understand it. He just needed to focus all his energy on cultivating fighting spirit.
As for the experts he mentioned, they are actually the consumption models here.
A huge building, covering a variety of consumption, claiming that all consumption is free with one consumption, but in fact, if it is separated, it is very likely that many people will only choose one of the services instead of all of them. Now, through the bathing process, all the processes are perfectly integrated together without any abruptness.
So, you can sell tickets for three silver coins per person.
And, it doesn't stop there.
Here, people can take a comfortable bath, rest well, and then have a hearty meal in the so-called buffet area.
With this set, you can be considered to have enough food and clothing.
Then all that’s left is to think about the lower body.
Things like dancers will be arranged naturally.
This will cost extra money.
Thus, there was an additional source of income.
It can be said that it is one thing after another.
A year ago, this oasis was just an ordinary desert oasis. A group of Sandy people lived here for generations, relying on trade with traveling merchants to make a living.
Therefore, someone must have directed these Saudi people.
Of course, it doesn't matter who it is. After all, the intrinsic benefits of this kind of advice are not that great, and it won't arouse envy. Besides, this model is only difficult to establish, and once you see it, sooner or later other desert oases may follow suit.
This is a good thing. In the future, when these traveling merchants take the Obsidian Road again, it won't be so hard.
Hot spring bath.
This is how Li Zhongren repays this group of people for saving his life.
Of course, this is also due to the abundant water resources in the Cactus Oasis and the leader here, an old Sandy Shaman who has a long-term vision and courage.
Otherwise, apart from anything else, just hiring earth magicians to build this huge hot spring center may not be successful. You know, this is the biggest investment.
Because of this incident, the people of Oasis completely accepted him.
Li Zhongren also thought that he would live in this oasis for a very long time.
After all, with his weak arms and legs, he can't go on a whim in this world of swords and magic. Traveling in this world would be really fatal.
But who could have known that he would suddenly awaken to the sharing space?
With the help of brothers from other worlds, I also got a cheat.
There is hope in life now.
Of course, this place is too far away from the sharing space. Just because he has a plug-in doesn't mean he is invincible. He still needs to be careful and cautious.
"Lee, sleeping here again."
A voice broke the silence.
A blond girl with wheat-colored skin came to Li Zhongren. She was the leader of the Cactus Tribe, the granddaughter of the high priest, and the designated next generation priest.
Have a good relationship with yourself.
And the reason is very simple.
The various experiences and knowledge from another world made this girl, who had been tied to the desert since birth and was in the most curious stage of her life, feel like she had encountered a book of 100,000 Whys.
After all, Li Zhongren could always give her an ambiguous explanation for any problem.
"Why don't you sleep?"
Li Zhongren yawned.
"I have taught everything that needs to be taught. This place has been running for a year, and most of the problems encountered have been solved. Naturally, there is nothing left for me to do."
"Who told you that?"
Speaking of the bath center, Anna couldn't help blushing, because the dancer plan there was proposed by the guy in front of her, who bought dancers from outside. But she had to admit that this plan made a lot of profits for Oasis.
What's even more strange is that this guy also requires regular physical examinations for these dancers, and for this purpose, he has to spend extra money to invite witch doctors.
In his words, this is a win-win situation.
"Grandpa is looking for you."
"What's the matter?"
"I have no idea."
"High Priest, you're looking for me?"
Following Anna, Li Zhongren came to the central area of the tribe, where the high priest lived.
As the name suggests, this world, or at least these tribes, are still in the civilization mode of the Shang Dynasty in the previous life, and the priests hold all the power.
Of course, this does not mean falling behind.
It is always people who determine the system, not the system that determines people.
Especially in this world of extraordinary powers.
Priests really do have super powers.
This may be the reason why this ancient system can be passed down from generation to generation.
"Ah."
The high priest, Yuri, looked quietly at the young man in front of him.
No one thought that this young man, who had only been in the tribe for about a year, would bring such huge changes to the tribe.
The bathing center plan he proposed completely led the Cactus Tribe onto a completely new path.
It is not just a bathing center itself, but also a healthy, cyclical model.
They have a bathing center here.
Merchants and adventurers are willing to come.
They have money to buy more things to build a bathing center.
Then more people will be willing to come.
In fact, many businessmen would rather take a longer route and take a detour to reach their tribe.
Therefore, he firmly believed that this young man was probably the descendant of some noble family. Of course, his appearance, with black hair and black eyes, did not seem like someone from nearby. Perhaps he was from some distant continent. After all, the world was huge and divided into many continents. Perhaps there were such people on other continents.
"I've come to you for two things."
"The first thing is what path the tribe should take in the future."
"The second thing is, I have two places at the Waterdeep School of Magic. You and Anna can go there together to study magic."
