Supreme Immortal System - Chapter 29

[Chapter 29: First Arrival in Baoning City]

Dafengcheng is five days away from the Imperial City.

The four of them silently urged the horses to hurry, after all, they felt reluctant to go out for the first time.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Jiang Kong told everyone a joke.

In his previous life, Jiang Kong was an otaku who was on the Internet. He had a lot of jokes in his stomach. He soon heard Jiang Yuanba laughing loudly.

Jiang Chen looked adored, “Young master knows a lot.”

In Jiang Chen’s heart, the young master is omnipotent.

…

Four days later, it was not far from the imperial city.

In the evening, Jiang Kong and a few people rushed to the outside of a city, and the three characters “Baoning City” were prominently engraved on the city wall.

Baoning City, it seems that the scale is not small. From the outside, it is more than ten times larger than Dafeng City. It is the largest city that Jiang Kong and several people have seen along the way.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Kong decided to rest here, and immediately said, “Come in, go in and have a look. I’ll rest here today, and I’ll be on my way tomorrow morning, just in time to visit Baoning City.”

Several people rode their horses to the gate of the city, but were stopped by the city guards.

Jiang Kong frowned, “What are you doing?”

A city guard squad leader who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and said, “According to the regulations, any outsider who wants to enter Baoning City must pay an entry fee of five gold coins.”

When Jiang Yuanba heard this, his eyes widened: “Damn it, you guys are robbery. I haven’t heard that there is a fee for entering a city, and five more, which is enough for an ordinary family’s living expenses for half a year.”

The captain of the city guard was not annoyed when he heard this, and said in a flat tone: “This is our city lord’s rule. If you want to enter, you have to pay a fee. If you don’t enter, you can leave. No one stops you.”

“Hey, I still don’t believe it.”

Jiang Yuanba jumped up and wanted to have a good fight with these city guards.

Jiang Kong hurriedly stopped him and said, “Forget it, it’s only twenty gold coins, so don’t make trouble and delay your trip.”

After speaking, he took out twenty gold coins and gave them to the captain of the city guard.

The team leader also breathed a sigh of relief, and he also saw that Jiang Kong and the others were not minor roles.

Entering the city, I saw a crowd of people on the streets of dozens of meters wide. There were many shops on both sides of the streets, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance. It was a prosperous scene.

This Baoning City is really unusual.

Several people came to an inn called “One Family”.

A shop assistant with a pockmarked face greeted him warmly.

Jiang Chen handed over the horse to the second shopkeeper who came to entertain him, and then instructed: “Little Er, arrange a few rooms for us, and then order food and drinks.”

“Okay, a few guest officers, please.”

When he came to the private room on the second floor, Jiang Kong took out ten gold coins and said to the second shop assistant, “Man, I asked you something, answer well, this is yours.”

As soon as the young man saw it, his eyes were straight. Ten gold coins were equivalent to half a year’s wages. Now he can get it by answering a few questions. Little Er has rarely met such a generous guest.

“Master, may I ask, in Baoning City, there is nothing that I, Wang Ermazi, don’t know about.”

It is good to have money, and the name has been changed to Uncle.

“You first introduce Baoning City in detail, and why you need to pay the city fee.”

“Hey, it seems that the uncles are not locals, that’s how,” the little Er then said slowly.

It turns out that this Baoning City can be said to be the gateway to the east of the Water and Fire Empire. It only takes 300 miles to reach the imperial city after passing Baoning City, so the geographical location is very important. A high-ranking city lord of King Wu sits in town.

Not only that, because Baoning City is the only way to enter the imperial city, after hundreds of years of development, a complete economic system has also been formed.

In addition to the City Lord’s Mansion, there are two major forces developing here.

They are the Dongfang family, which mainly focuses on alchemy, and the Sima family, who mainly refines weapons. In terms of medicine pills and weapons, these two families basically monopolize nearly half of the market of the Water and Fire Empire.

As a result, various chambers of commerce have established branches here, and it has gradually become the largest city in the Water and Fire Empire other than the Imperial City. Moreover, the two families often cooperate with several chambers of commerce to hold various auctions, which has also accelerated the pace of development of Baoning City. .

Of course, Baoning City, as the second largest city after the Imperial City, has an economic system headed by two major families. The city is prosperous and lively, and it is a good place for ordinary people to live. However, the area of the city is limited. cause overcrowding.

Therefore, the city owner of Baoning City came up with a way to charge for entering and leaving the city. First, it can generate income; second, it can set a threshold for entering the city to control the dilemma of the rapid population growth of Baoning City.

…

After the introduction of the second shopkeeper, several talents have a preliminary understanding of this Baoning City.

The second shopkeeper was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, “Oh, ladies and gentlemen, there will be an auction at 8 o’clock tonight, which is jointly organized by the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce and the Dongfang Family. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. .”

Jiang Kong was overjoyed to hear this. He has been a human being in his past and present life. He has heard the word auction from various channels. He heard that it is a place where some rich and young people spend a lot of money. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to see it today.

Satisfied, Jiang Kong waved his hand, “Let’s go, let’s go and see what good things will be in this auction, so that you can also see the world.”

“Okay, okay!” Jiang Jingyi had never left Dafeng City since she was a child, and had never seen such a rare thing before, she clapped her hands happily when she heard this.

Jiang Yuanba also rubbed his hands together, nodding his head, and strongly agreed.

“Well, the auction is about to start, let’s go!”

A pro-inn is not far from the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce where the auction is held, just around the corner.

The Water Moon Chamber of Commerce is one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Water and Fire Empire, second only to the Tianling Chamber of Commerce in the Water and Fire Empire.

Several people came to the auction site. There was a huge crowd here, and many people still held an invitation card in their hands.

After a little inquiries, it turns out that this auction is not just to enter the auction, it also needs to show the invitation card issued by the organizer.

“What should I do, we don’t have an invitation card! It’s not that we can’t get in,” Jiang Jingyi said with a frown.

Jiang Kong thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, “Don’t worry, there is nothing in this world that your brother Jiang Kong can’t do.”

Jiang Kong turned his head and read so many online novels in his previous life. When this happens, he usually takes out some good things to participate in the auction. Not only will he have the money to buy things, he may even get a seat in a VIP room. .

As for whether to allow more items to be auctioned when the auction is approaching, Jiang Kong did not consider it at all. Who would refuse something good unless he was a fool.

“You, come here,” Jiang Kong walked directly to a guy who seemed to be a small butler.

“”This son, I don’t know what’s going on with you,” the guy replied casually.”

“Show this to your manager,” he said and threw an elixir to the guy.

Seeing Jiang Kong’s attitude, the guy was about to get angry when he suddenly realized that the medicinal pill in his hand was not easy.

Soon, a half-hundred-year-old old man walked out quickly. The guy was leading the way. When he saw Jiang Kong, he immediately said, “Master Chief, that’s him.”

The director of the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce immediately smiled and said: “This son, my surname is Gu, and now Tim is the director of the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce. I don’t know the name of the son Gao.”

“Hehe, this young man Jiang Kong.”

“It turned out to be Young Master Jiang, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, Young Master Jiang please come in.”

Several people walked into the inner hall with the head of the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce.

The guy served the fragrant tea, and the director Gu immediately couldn’t help it. He took out the medicine pill that Jiang Kong gave to the leader of the staff and asked, “Young Master Jiang, forgive the old and clumsy eyes. I don’t know what this medicine is about. Please son Gaozhi. ”

Jiang Kong looked at Director Gu and said, “Director Gu, this medicinal pill is called Po Jiang Pill. The so-called Po Jiang Pill means the pill for breaking through a military general. After taking it by a martial master of any rank, it can instantly break through a military general without any side effects. ”

Manager Gu was stunned, there is still this kind of medicine pill now? Isn’t this an upgraded version of the Boundary Pill? It is rumored that this kind of medicinal pill has long been lost, and I did not expect it to be circulated in the world.

Seeing Director Gu’s expression, Jiang Kong immediately knew the preciousness of this broken general pill, and was secretly surprised. Fortunately, he did not bring out the broken handsome pill, otherwise it would cause a greater sensation.

Jiang Kong exchanged this Pill in the system mall for 8,000 points. With Jiang Kong’s current financial resources, he can only buy a dozen pieces, which shows how precious it is.

Director Gu came back to his senses, and his attitude was more respectful. The identity of someone who can have such a treasure must not be simple.

“Young Master Jiang, you handed over such a precious medicinal pill to this old man, why do you think it won’t be auctioned here.”

“Of course, I still have a few pills of this kind. I hope to cooperate with the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce to see if there is anything I need in the auction house, and then exchange for some treasures of heaven and earth,” Jiang Kong exchanged four more pills after speaking. Broke out the pill and hand it over to Director Gu.

“no problem.”

Director Gu stood up and took the four broken generals pills. He was overjoyed and said, “The auction is about to start. I will arrange it now. Later, someone will bring a few people into the auction site.”

Hurry up when you’re done.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came over and said respectfully to Jiang Kong, “Young Master Jiang, the auction is about to start, the Chamber of Commerce has prepared a private room for you, please come with me. ”

“Hey,” Jiang Kong thought to himself: “Sure enough, there is a private room. Today, Jiang Kong, I want to enjoy the feeling of being a rich man spending money like dirt.”

The auction was set up on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce and was jointly organized by the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce and the Dongfang Family.

The entire venue is half the size of a football field, with a total of twelve private rooms set up inside, and about 200 ordinary seats outside.

The middle-aged man respectfully took Jiang Kong and the others to the private room No. 10, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Young Master Jiang, the private room in front has already been reserved, so I can only apologise for the few people.”

Jiang Kong lay on the sofa, stretched out comfortably, waved his hand, and said, “It’s okay, it’s not bad here. ”

“Then I wish the young masters have a good time and take pictures of their favorite babies.”

After he finished speaking, he left the room.
