"Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge."
"Put your legs in front of you."
"..."
On the train to the North, Qin Ze sat by the window and looked at the snow outside.
As a native southerner, this was the first time he had seen such a snowy and snow-covered scenery.
"Our family has money now, why only buy one ticket?"
In the local area network, the King of France expressed his dissatisfaction with his dependence on Qin Ze.
"Save what you should save, spend what you should spend."
"One ticket can solve the problem, why do you have to spend a few more cents?"
Qin Ze gave his reasons.
From Haidu to the North.
The whole journey takes two days and one night.
The one-way ticket is less than two thousand.
If he hadn't thought it was too cold to sit on the roof, he wouldn't have wanted to buy a ticket.
Captain Hook groaned in the LAN: "If he was willing to pay for your tickets, I wouldn't be driving a patched ship now."
Qin Ze rolled his eyes: "It's useless to drive an aircraft carrier for you."
"We have arrived at the final stop, Xuecheng Station."
"Please take your belongings and get off in an orderly manner."
As the broadcast in the carriage sounded, the train pulled into the station.
There were only a dozen people in Qin Ze's carriage.
Xuecheng is not a tourist city.
Except for people like Qin Ze who have special purposes, ordinary people rarely come here.
Several people in the carriage all had blood fluctuations.
Except for a man wearing a military uniform, the others either wore a hat or hid their faces in a raised collar.
Qin Ze shook his head.
There was no normal person.
A sunny and cheerful boy like him is simply a rare treasure.
After getting off the train, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, and Qin Ze couldn't help shivering all over.
"It's so cold!"
The North is the northernmost part of the Pan-Continent, covered by ice and snow all year round, with an average annual temperature of minus 29 degrees Celsius.
At the coldest time, it was close to minus 50 degrees Celsius, a completely barren land.
Snow City is a very special city.
There are no city walls, no city defense department, no administrative department, and even no ordinary police department and law enforcement.
Before the entrance to the abyss appeared, this place was sparsely populated.
After the entrance to the abyss was discovered, a large number of troops and warriors were stationed here, and a large number of mercenaries were attracted.
Where there are people, there must be material consumption.
The sensitive Chamber of Commerce has set its sights on this blank market.
Several freight routes have been opened.
Humans are social animals.
Merchants, mercenaries, warriors...
Many people bring their families with them.
Gradually, a gathering place has formed around the entrance to the abyss.
It has developed to this day and has become a snow city with a population of nearly 500,000.
As people continue to settle here, Snow City has been expanding.
It is for this reason that Snow City has become the only city without city walls in the Pan-Continent.
Although there are no city walls on the periphery, there is a thick circle of city walls in the center of Snow City.
Inside is the entrance to the abyss.
As for why the gathering place is around the entrance to the abyss.
The answer is simple.
If the beast tide really rushes out of the abyss one day.
The 500,000 people surrounding the entrance can buy a lot of time for other cities.
Facing the biting cold wind, Qin Ze left the train station and headed towards the city center.
Most of the buildings in Snow City are not high, and the tallest building is only five stories high.
There are few pedestrians on the road, and there are not many shops.
Walking on the street, Qin Ze suddenly felt like he had traveled to the last century.
Everything is so quaint.
As usual, Qin Ze found a corner to release the five kings and a group of clones.
Everyone couldn't wait and immediately started exploring the new map.
Qin Ze went into a tavern that had just opened to keep warm.
Perhaps it was not yet night, and there were only a few people in the house.
"What would you like to drink?"
The bartender looked at Qin Ze and asked.
Qin Ze sat down and said, "A glass of sweet water."
The bartender pulled the corner of his mouth after hearing this, and after a moment, brought a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
"Fifty."
Qin Ze frowned: "Is your orange made of gold?"
The bartender shrugged his shoulders: "This is the price of fresh fruit in Xuecheng."
"Besides, I used four oranges for your glass of orange juice."
"It's already very cheap."
Qin Ze handed over a fifty-dollar bill with a painful look.
No wonder so many people come to the North to do business.
Selling oranges alone can make you rich.
"Brother, is this your first time?"
A bearded man in his thirties sat down near Qin Ze.
Qin Ze nodded, anyway, there was nothing to hide.
This time he came to the North, and the main theme of the vest "Qin Ze" was to be open and aboveboard.
The man said, "There are so many twists and turns in Snow City. If you are new here, you might get into trouble if you are not careful."will be tricked."
Qin Ze snapped his fingers: "Give him a beer."
The bartender took a bunch of beer and put it on the table: "Eight yuan."
Qin Ze's face was full of disbelief: "Are you kidding me?"
A glass of orange juice costs more than six times as much as a glass of beer.
The bartender then wiped the glass and said lightly: "Alcohol plus water plus flavoring plus pigment, plus a little foaming agent."
"Of course it's cheaper than pure natural."
Qin Ze was stunned.
You are telling the truth in front of the guests. Does your boss know that you do business like this?
The bartender grinned: "What we sell is truth."
The man didn't care and drank half a glass in one breath.
After wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he slowly said: "We won't trace your past here. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous and attract the attention of those gray coats, it's fine."
"If you want to find something to do, you can go to the wall to take the task. There are many jobs in Penglai City that need cannon fodder. "
"The most important thing is not to show off your wealth."
"Drinking orange juice here is a very luxurious thing."
After that, the man drank the rest of the wine in one breath, put on his hat and walked into the snow outside.
Qin Ze noticed that the eyes of the other people in the room glanced at him from time to time, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
"Do you think I'm a fat sheep?"
Interesting.
He has begun to look forward to being robbed.
Qin Ze ignored it and savored the orange juice bought for fifty yuan.
"The house has been found. "
Just as Qin Ze drank the orange juice, the voice of Brother Swallowed sounded in the local area network.
Brother Swallowed did not run maps like the others, but found a base for the circus in the city.
As the "boss", Qin Ze naturally had to leave this rough work to the people below.
After all, no boss would run around in the wind and snow to look for a house.
Qin Ze stretched his body and left the pub with the bartender's "Welcome next time".
"Blood smell."
Qin Ze frowned as he just walked out of the door.
In the biting air, he smelled a pungent smell of blood.
Following the smell, Qin Ze walked to the entrance of an alley and saw a man lying in a pool of blood. It was the guy who drank a glass of beer from him not long ago.
The man was lying on his back with a black shadow covering his chest.
The shadow disappeared instantly when Qin Ze appeared, leaving only a body with a hollowed-out upper torso.
"Don't move, raise your hands above your head! "
Before he could check the body, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him, and at the same time he saw a gray coat out of the corner of his eye.
He felt vaguely that he seemed to be in trouble.
(It's still midnight, those who go to school can sleep)
