Creating a Different World - Chapter 2079

[Chapter 2079 Market News]

“Super black pearls, take a look! Very rare super black pearls!”

“Colorful corals, ten taels each!”

“Koi scales, the best material for refining magic weapons! Not for sale, only for soul-restoring pills!”

“The discarded Yaksha halberd, take a look if you’re interested~”

“Whale shark meat! Fresh whale shark meat!”

The bustling market was filled with hawking sounds. If it weren’t for the monsters all over the streets, people would definitely mistake this for a human city.

“Boss, is the whale shark the big fish that takes us to Dragon City?” Jia Zhengjin walked to the stall curiously and asked the crab spirit who was selling fish meat.

“Of course not,” the crab spit out bubbles from its mouth, and used its two big claws to cut the huge fish meat taken out from the box next to it into small even pieces, and then put them on the stall, “Whale shark is just a very common low-level fish. The mount that the envoy used to welcome the guests is called a small Kun shark, which is a rare ancient species in our inland sea.”

“Little Kun shark?” Jia Zhengjin thought it was interesting, “Is there only one Kun shark in the entire inland sea?”

“It’s a small Kun shark!” The crab corrected, “Kun shark is another ancient species, hundreds of times larger than the small Kun shark. This is not a species.”

“I see.”

“Would the guests like some whale shark meat? This is a rare delicacy.” The crab picked up a large piece of fish meat and shook it.

“How much is it?”

“One inland sea pearl for one kilogram of whale shark meat!”

“Inland sea pearls? Isn’t it in silver?” Jia Zhengjin was about to take out the silver, and heard this and asked.

“Those who collect silver are all from the land, either from the human world or from the demon tribes that live in the human world.” The crab replied, “Silver is useless in the inner sea. We usually trade with inner sea pearls.”

“Uh~ that’s it!” Jia Zhengjin scratched his head, “We don’t have those inner sea pearls.”

“Here!” The clam spirit Bei Yi stepped forward, took out a small brocade bag from his arms, took out a round white bead, and handed it to the crab spirit.

“Thank you for your patronage!” The crab spirit casually handed over a piece of fish meat, “It’s exactly one catty, keep it!”

“Don’t you need to weigh it?” Pseudo-Lan approached curiously.

“I never need to weigh when doing business. If I say I cut one catty, it will never become one catty and one ounce.” The crab spirit was full of confidence.

Nuwa scanned the piece of meat: “Whale shark meat, net weight 500.5 grams.”

“What do you mean?” Pseudo-Lan didn’t understand.

“One jin is right.”

“So impressive?”

Jia Zhengjin looked at the clam spirit Bei Yi paying for a pearl, walked over and said, “It’s not good for us to let you pay for the things we buy, right?”

“It doesn’t matter!” Bei Yi smiled sweetly, “This is the money sent from above, which is originally the living expenses for everyone during this period.”

“So generous? Isn’t Longcheng afraid of bankruptcy?” Jia Zhengjin asked curiously.

Bei Yi smiled slightly: “His Majesty the Dragon King owns the inner sea and is the richest in the world. Such a small amount of money is nothing. What he values is the talents who come to participate in the Longcheng Club.”

“Generous!” Since others said so, Jia Zhengjin looked around, “Then can we buy whatever we want?”

“As long as it is daily expenses, there is no problem!” Bei Yi said, “But if the total daily expenditure exceeds 20 inner sea pearls, you must first apply to the upper level and get permission. For ordinary people, 3 inner sea pearls are enough for daily expenses, and 20 inner sea pearls are enough to live a rich life here.”

“Where did you get all these inner sea pearls?” Jia Zhengjin was a little curious.

Bei Yi smiled and shook his head: “Sorry, guest! This is the secret of our Dragon City, which cannot be disclosed to outsiders. If you want to know, you can join Dragon City and then be promoted to a certain level. Maybe then you will have the opportunity to get in touch with this knowledge.”

“Forget it! Let’s go over there.”

The group walked around the market, and everything they saw was new.

It was just like a group tour, very interesting.

After walking around for most of the day, they still hadn’t finished the whole market. The scale of Dragon City is quite large.

“There is an Inner Sea Pharmacy in front, which sells some unique elixirs from the Inner Sea. The price is quite expensive, but the efficacy is amazing!” Bei Yi walked in front and introduced the main commercial buildings along the way. “With the current funds sent from above, it is not enough to buy these elixirs. However, if you can win or get a higher ranking in the Dragon City Conference, you can get a very generous reward. You can buy it at will.”

“Ah–!” Just as Jia Zhengjin and others were listening to Bei Yi’s introduction, they suddenly heard a miserable cry in their ears, and then a clam spirit flew out from the second floor of a building in front, fell heavily to the ground, and struggled to stand up.

Before everyone could react, another shrimp soldier with a spear in hand jumped down from above and landed directly in front of the clam spirit.

“I don’t dare anymore! No! Spare me!” The clam spirit trembled with fear and kept begging for mercy.

However, the shrimp soldier did not hesitate, raised his spear and pierced the body of the clam spirit fiercely, watching her struggle a few times and die.

All eyes on the street in the market were focused on the shrimp soldier and the stabbed clam spirit.

“What’s going on?” Jia Zhengjin asked softly.

Bei Yi looked at the killed clam spirit and sighed slightly: “I’m afraid she didn’t follow the rules and violated the law.”

Sure enough, after the shrimp soldier killed the clam spirit, he pulled out his spear and stepped on her body, turned around and shouted: “The clam spirit Bei Geng made up excuses to embezzle the gift money, and openly resisted arrest! According to the laws of Longcheng, she will be killed without mercy!”

After shouting three times, he dragged the body of the clam spirit away slowly.

The other clam spirits in the surrounding market were trembling, including Bei Yi.

“What is the gift money?” Jia Zhengjin asked in confusion.

“It is the money sent from above to provide the guests with living expenses during their stay in Longcheng, that is, these inner sea pearls.” Bei Yi answered softly, “We are responsible for the allocation of this money, but every account must be clear, and the money must be spent on the guests, not for private use. Once it is discovered that the gift money is embezzled, it is a felony and the person will be imprisoned for a hundred years. If you openly resist arrest, you can be killed directly.”

“Is the law in Longcheng so cruel?”

“My lord, every place has its own laws, and the degree of tolerance towards criminals is also different.” Yu Wanniang came over and said, “There are places that are stricter than Longcheng, and there are many of them.”

“Does this kind of thing happen often?” Jia Zhengjin asked.

Bei Yi shook his head: “Very few! Most of us clam spirits are very self-controlled and abide by the law, but there are inevitably one or two who take chances. Sorry to spoil your mood! Please follow me to the other side? I will introduce you to other important commercial and entertainment venues!”

“Do you know the clam spirit that was killed?” Jia Zhengjin asked again as he followed Bei Yi forward.

Bei Yi shook his head: “Not too familiar with her. It is possible that we have met across the street, but we have definitely never talked to each other. There are tens of thousands of people named Bei Geng here, and she is just one of them who is not very noticeable.”
