Chapter 490 Su's Industry
When the sun rises from the sky, the whole world seems to become alive all of a sudden.
If the world at night seems to have been pressed the pause button, and everything stays on the black and white grid, the current world is back on the track of progress.
Sunshine, grassland, wheat fields, villages, and smoke rising far away, human beings have become the main body of this world again, rather than weak existences hidden in the cellar.
At this time, it is very close to Haotian City. On the spacious road, many caravans are heading towards Haotian City.
Compared with the remote Sunjia Village, this place is undoubtedly many times more lively. Crowds can be seen everywhere, and there are some tea shops on both sides of the road, which open early.
Coming here, Su Xiaofan also slowed down his pace, feeling the strong popularity. During the decades of being sucked into the black hole space, Su Xiaofan could taste the feeling of loneliness and coldness.
So when encountering the bustling scene in front of him, Su Xiaofan has a feeling that he wants to blend in, because in this way he can feel that he is still alive.
Seeing the tall city wall of Haotian City from a distance, Su Xiaofan did not enter the city in a hurry, but sat down in a tea shop outside the city, listening to the chats of guests from all over the place.
Most of the people who rushed to Haotian City early in the morning were doing small business.
Because the cost of living in Haotian City is too high, these people live in the villages near Haotian City and travel back and forth every day. Although it is a bit hard, they can still earn the expenses of the whole family.
On the road, besides caravans in groups, there were also many people carrying loads. Most of the loads were vegetables or rice noodles, which were also sold in Haotian City.
Su Xiaofan observed for a while. Although the world is deeply poisoned by spirits and monsters, the lives of ordinary people are still okay.
Judging from the clothes and facial expressions of the passers-by on the road, they can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment. Although many people have disheveled faces, at least Su Xiaofan has not seen those scenes of ragged clothes and prostitution.
This also shows that the agriculture of this planet is developed, and any crop can be produced here with high yield.
Although many places are beyond the reach of humans, the food grown in these plains is enough for humans in the four countries to eat.
Most of the territory of the Celestial Dynasty is plains, so the Celestial Dynasty is also an important producer of grain exported by the four countries. Every day, various caravans enter the Celestial Dynasty for grain trade.
With no shortage of food and the existence of great enemies such as spirits and monsters, human infighting has also been greatly reduced.
When Su Xiaofan was in the universe, he has been to many star fields including the original star field. This world is the place where the human race is most united.
After resting outside the city for a while, Su Xiaofan got up and walked towards the city gate.
As one of the top ten cities in the Celestial Dynasty, Haotian City covers hundreds of kilometers, and there are millions of people living in the city. On the huge city wall, every brick and stone is engraved with inscriptions on talismans.
In the history of Haotian City, there have been several animal riots driven by monster races, and the army of Yin Gods crossed the border.
These calamities were all resisted by Haotian City without exception. Although there were still occasional disasters in the city, Haotian City was still the safe place that countless warriors yearned for most.
The gates of Haotian City are divided into one large gate and one small gate. The large gates are for ordinary people to enter and exit. There is a long queue early in the morning.
The slightly smaller city gate is the place for warriors to enter and exit. As long as they are certified warriors in Haotian City, they can quickly enter and exit through this small gate.
None of the ordinary people present were dissatisfied with this privilege of warriors, because they exchanged their lives for these conveniences of warriors.
In this world, warriors take the lead, which is the consensus of all races.
When ghosts and monsters wreak havoc on human beings, warriors will always fight on the front line, and it is these warriors that allow the human race to pass on the torch.
So not only entering and exiting the city gate, warriors also have many conveniences in their lives, which they deserve, and very few ordinary people will make irresponsible remarks about it.
Above the two city gates, there is a bronze mirror inlaid with complex inscriptions engraved on the bronze mirror. All people entering and leaving the city gates must pass under the bronze mirror.
Su Xiaofan knew that this was the Demon Reflecting Mirror developed by the Talisman Master.
Although it is called the Demon Reflecting Mirror, in fact, the incorporeal bodies of monsters and Yin gods can be reflected by this talisman mirror.
Of course, the demon mirror cannot completely prevent monsters from entering the city, because some monsters are good at hiding their whereabouts, which is really hard to guard against.
Su Xiaofan went straight to the small gate of the city, and showed a waist card made of iron and wood to the two warriors guarding the gate. The waist card was engraved with cloud and dragon patterns on the four sides, and the word "Sun" was written in the middle.
Although Sunjia Village is far away from Haotian City, it is indeed a village under the jurisdiction of Haotian City. This waist card was also made by Haotian City, and then Sunjia Village took it back.
A martial artist took the badge and checked it carefully. After seeing the word "Master" on the back of the badge, his face suddenly became solemn.
The waist badge represents the identity of the warrior. The waist badge of a warrior apprentice has the word "贤" on the back, and the word "士师" on the back, and so on.
The iron wood used to make the waist plate is also a very special kind of wood, ten times harder than steel.
If you want to make iron wood into a waist card, you need a talisman master to take action and use special softening talismans to temporarily disintegrate the characteristics of iron wood before you can disassemble it.
Since iron wood is less flexible, it is not suitable for making weapons, so it is used as a material for making waist cards.
Ghosts and spirits don’t know how to use talismans, so this kind of waist card is difficult to imitate. In this world, it is similar to a warrior’s ID card.
"My lord, please come in..."
Another warrior raised his head and glanced at the demon mirror, but didn't find anything unusual, so he quickly moved away, signaling Su Xiaofan to go in.
Su Xiaofan put away his badge and walked into the city gate.
The wall of the city is very wide and thick, more than 20 meters long, and a horse-drawn carriage can even be run on it. Only when Su Xiaofan enters the city can he pass through the long corridor of the city gate.
The thick city walls had previously isolated the sounds inside the city, but as soon as they entered the city, the sound of people's voices came to Su Xiaofan's ears.
Within 500 meters from the city wall, there is a quarantine area, and a little further away is the garrison of the Celestial Warrior Legion, which is also the first line of defense of the city.
Once encountering monsters or beast tides attacking the city, these well-trained warriors will climb the city wall immediately. The brown marks on Haotian City are the dried blood that warriors and monsters shed.
Passing through the blank isolation area, that familiar feeling rushed into Su Xiaofan's heart.
As the food base of the four countries, the trade between the Celestial Dynasty is undoubtedly the most developed among the four countries, so the commercial atmosphere in Haotian City is very strong.
Fanzhuang shops, stores of almost all walks of life, can be seen on this long commercial street.
However, on this several-kilometer-long commercial street, the most stores are of two types.
The first type is the Escort Bureau. Due to the particularity of this world, spirits and monsters are everywhere outside the city. Therefore, if you want to trade safely, you need a strong guard force.
So Escort Bureaus came into being. The Escort Bureaus that Su Xiaofan knew before used to be based on the ways of the world. As long as you have a good relationship with powerful people from all over the world, you can travel all over the world.
But it is different in this world. Escort is an extremely high-risk industry, because every time you walk a dart, you cannot avoid fighting with monsters.
Correspondingly, it is the casualties of the **** warriors, and it is extremely lucky to walk the dart once without being injured.
If it were placed in the universe, such a profession would definitely not be chosen by anyone, but the casualty rate of each dart throw makes most people flinch.
However, in this world, many warriors want to enter the Escort. Apart from earning high fees, they also want to have the chance to fight monsters.
Warriors need to experience life and death if they want to advance. As long as they have a heart for martial arts, warriors will never retreat.
Going out of the city alone and encountering monsters, the probability of a warrior falling is too high. On the contrary, the form of the Escort, which allows warriors to form a group, is much safer than fighting alone.
In the Escort, most of them are middle-aged warriors between the ages of 20 and 50. This is also the period when the warriors are most vigorous. They hope that through life and death experiences, they can break through the current state.
Once they are over 50 years old and do not break through to the level of generals, warriors will basically withdraw from the Escort, because their vitality will go downhill, and they can only find other ways to break through.
Like the martial artists who came out of Sunjia Village in the past, nine out of ten will join the Escort. For warriors, entering the Escort is the best choice for them to strengthen themselves.
The Wuwang powerhouse who was promoted to Sunjiacun a hundred years ago took this path. He followed the Escort to fight in the Four Kingdoms, gained a great reputation, and raised his cultivation to the level of Wuwang along the way.
The current Wu Wang of Sunjia Village also opened a bodyguard agency himself, with Wu Wang sitting in charge, this bodyguard agency has become the largest bodyguard agency in Haotian City, even in the Celestial Dynasty, it can also be ranked among the top three.
Besides the Escort, on this street, most of them are martial arts halls!
Martial arts hall, as the name suggests, is naturally a place to learn martial arts.
Among the Four Kingdoms, as a warrior who is on the front line of fighting monsters, the profession of warrior is a well-deserved first profession, and even the talisman master can only be ranked second.
Whether they are descendants of warriors or ordinary people, their greatest wish is definitely to become a powerful warrior, because that not only represents money and fame, but also represents great strength.
If you want to learn martial arts, there are many ways in this world, and entering a martial arts school is not the only way.
Family inheritance like Sunjia Village, the villagers will be tested for their martial arts aptitude since they were young, so as to focus on training, and the exercises they practice are also passed down from the family.
There are many such inheritances, all over the four countries.
However, if one wants to become a warrior, one's own aptitude is very important. If the aptitude is not good enough to accept evil spirits into the body, it is absolutely impossible to become a warrior.
There are also many inheritances, passed down from generation to generation, and the number of children with martial arts qualifications is gradually decreasing, and this kind of inheritance will gradually decline and disappear.
There is also a very popular method of martial arts, that is the inheritance of masters.
Inheritance of masters is often based on the sect as the backing, and the disciples are recruited. This is very similar to the inheritance of the universe.
But those sects are very strict in selecting disciples, unless they are extremely talented disciples, it is difficult to be accepted into the master sect.
So although the sects in this world are very powerful, their groups are not large.
And if you want to establish a Zongmen, you must report to the Four Kingdoms, and the Zongmen station must be established on the front line of human defense against demons. In this way, Zongmen warriors are relatively less known to the world.
The most common way to practice martial arts is of course the martial arts gym.
The martial arts hall is open for business, and it talks about teaching without discrimination. As long as you are willing to pay to learn, no matter whether you have qualifications, the martial arts hall will accept it.
In the words of the martial arts school, people with qualifications can certainly become warriors, but people without qualifications can also strengthen their bodies, and it can also give some people with poor qualifications a road to warriors.
So martial artists from martial arts are the largest group in the world. For example, martial artists in the armies of various countries are selected from martial arts in all likelihood.
Moreover, the martial arts school also explained a truth, that is, people with poor qualifications may not be unable to become strong.
There are many martial artists who have come out of the martial arts hall. Through their unremitting efforts and a heart of martial arts, they have gone a long way on the road of martial artists, and there are many who become martial kings.
No matter the common people of any country in the four countries, as long as the child reaches the age of twelve, it is a waste of money to send the child to the martial arts gym.
If the child really doesn't have the talent to practice martial arts, then going home at the age of fifteen or sixteen will not delay anything, and once the child becomes a martial artist, the whole family will benefit from it.
Because even if you enter the army as a warrior, the salary you earn is enough to support a family of seven or eight people. This shows that warriors have a high status in these countries.
If you want your family to live a better life, warriors can also enter the bodyguard bureau, and the money earned from one trip can make a family of four live comfortably for ten years.
Of course, the danger of running darts is too great. Many martial arts apprentices will choose to join the army first, and wait until they become martial masters and quit the army before going to the **** bureau to practice. At that time, their strength can also deal with some dangers.
The armies of the Four Kingdoms do not have too many restrictions on warriors. As long as you become a warrior, you can withdraw at any time, because the army does not rely on individual combat power, but the strength of the group.
Outside of the army, ten warriors are definitely no match for a warrior. A warrior can easily defeat or even slaughter them.
But in the army, with the cooperation of the talisman masters and the attacking army formation, ten warriors can definitely fight against one warrior and even kill him.
So the armies of various countries don't care about the number of martial artists in the army, and after becoming a martial artist, staying in the army is not good for their development. Naturally, they will not limit the number of martial artists.
"My lord, do you need a little one to lead the way?"
Just as Su Xiaofan was walking along the street, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child approached, "I'm familiar with Haotian City, I know where my lord wants to go."
"No need, I am from Haotian City."
Su Xiaofan smiled gently, looked at the child seriously, and then handed a sky coin to the child. He knew that the child's purpose of making money was probably to enter the martial arts school to study.
In this world, although there are cases of deceit and abduction, they are relatively rare. The pressure from outside monsters on human beings is too great. The unity of human beings here is something Su Xiaofan has never seen before.
"Thank you, my lord, no... but my lord, did you take it wrong?"
The child was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Xiaofan in disbelief, because this sky coin was his income for half a year.
With this sky coin, the child can go directly to the martial arts school to sign up, and he doesn't have to worry about the tuition fees for the next three years.
The currency system of the four countries is actually headed by the Celestial Dynasty. Who will let the grain produced by the Celestial Dynasty account for 70 to 80% of the four countries.
Usually people use copper plates, one hundred copper plates can be exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.
As for the sky coin, it is a currency circulated among warriors, and it is very expensive.
The sky coin that Su Xiaofan took out can be exchanged for a hundred gold coins, and at the same time most of the transactions between warriors are using sky coins.
Go to the martial arts school to study, the registration fee is three gold coins, and the subsequent monthly fee is one gold coin.
Some well-known martial arts gyms have higher fees, but even for the most expensive martial arts gyms, this sky coin is more than enough.
It can be said that with this sky coin, the fate of this child has been completely changed.
"That's right, go sign up, this sky coin is enough for you to study in Qingshan Martial Arts Hall."
Su Xiaofan smiled at the child, he is not a bad person, and he can't help so many people.
But Su Xiaofan saw that this kid had the aptitude to learn martial arts, since he met him, Su Xiaofan didn't mind helping him.
"Thank you...thank you sir..."
Being hit on the head by the pie that fell from the sky, the child felt a little dizzy for a while, but when he looked up again, Su Xiaofan had already disappeared in front of him.
A sky coin might be able to make a martial artist or even general in the future, Su Xiaofan was still in a good mood, following the human path, he came to the door of a martial arts gym.
The signboard of this martial arts hall is obvious, and the facade is also the most prosperous place on this street, and directly opposite this martial arts hall is an **** agency.
The first two characters of the name of Wuguan and Escort are the same.
The martial arts school is called Qingshan Wuguan, and the **** agency is called Qingshan **** agency.
These two places are the traces left by Su Xiaofan in this world. In the past two or three hundred years, the only property he left behind is the Qingshan Martial Art Museum and the Qingshan Bodyguard Bureau.
The Qingshan Escort Bureau is now run by the Martial King of Sunjia Village, and the Qingshan Martial Arts Academy is the descendant of a disciple Su Xiaofan has accepted for more than two hundred years.
That disciple has passed away long ago, but his descendants are also military generals now, and they are only one step away from advancing to the realm of Martial Kings.
Whether it is the Qingshan Escort or the Qingshan Martial Art Museum, both belong to the Su family. The people Su Xiaofan chooses have always been loyal to his "descendants"!
2022, few people want to miss it, I hope everyone's 2023 will be better!
