The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 69 Three Heads and Six Arms
When Yu Qing claimed that he had a way to get the people here to send out the angelica soon, everyone was still skeptical.

However, Yu Qing's words soon came true. Dang Gui was carried to Yu Qing like a star being fawned over.

This wasn't because Yu Qing had any brilliant schemes, but because he saw through the true nature of those merchants.

When it came time to settle all the bills, Yu Qing insisted that Dang Gui, who had come with him, pay for everything, while he and Chang'e needed to leave for a while.

This terrified the people collecting the water. It was a huge sum of money.

They had already learned through biometrics and database comparison that Dang Gui was a drifter with no money, while Yu Qing was a billionaire, and that he had recently made a huge transaction in Tianqing City.

Now that Yu Qing is shifting the blame to Dang Gui, aren't they all left empty-handed? Because there's a strange rule in Jishui: as long as you don't leave, they can't settle any payments with you.

Two donkey-headed men stayed here for a full forty-three years, until they kicked the bucket and were carried out.

Don't think the people who collect water are stupid. Their marketing tactics are extremely clever. Most people who come here eventually leave, and they almost spend all their savings.

Moreover, their shrewdness lies in the fact that since all the facilities here are always open 24 hours a day, the cost of entertaining ten people is not much different from that of entertaining a hundred people, and it doesn't matter how many people come to eat for free.

But Yu Qing is different. They added so many tailor-made projects for him and even lost two humanoid beauties, so they had to do everything they could to recover those debts. Therefore, they quickly brought out Dang Gui to prevent Yu Qing from escaping unscathed.

To Yu Qing's surprise, Dang Gui alone spent 3 million RB! When the bill was presented to him, Yu Qing stared at Dang Gui for a while, but in the end he obediently paid the bill.

Because Danggui wants a thousand humanoid men, 2.24 million of the 3 million RB is a deposit. This girl, who has just eaten her fill and is still underdeveloped, already has a queen's dream.

These thousand humanoid robots have already begun assembly on the assembly line. Their total cost is 28 billion RB, so Yu Qing chose to forgo the deposit to reduce his losses.

Even Daji now ignores Danggui.

But Dangui didn't feel anything about it. She had never known what "RB" was. Instead, she felt that everyone was unfriendly to her and was even preventing the people collecting water from being friendly to her. She lowered her head, bit her lip, and was very unhappy.

Yu Qing realized that taking Dang Gui to such a place was a serious mistake, so he stopped blaming her for being too willful. He said casually, "Let's leave here tomorrow. Yao Dan, have you found a place to stay?"

Yao Dan said, "I asked, and they said there's a place to sleep and rest in the amusement area, but not a place just for sleeping..."

"No wonder they boast about 'playing the zither with jade hands to while away the long night, and drinking fine wine in golden goblets to soak the long sky.' It seems that none of the guys who come here have ever thought about going to sleep."

Yan'er said, "However, they also have a place here called 'Fairy Sleeping,' which provides a special sleeping service."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "You've really gone to great lengths. Isn't sleeping just closing your eyes and lying in bed?"

Yao Dan said, "My lord, that's different. I heard that when you lie on that kind of bed, you feel weightless, as if you're in space 50,000 kilometers above the ground, so you feel like you're floating on air."

Yu Qing said, "Forget it, I think we should just keep wandering around on this street."

Dangui lagged behind Yu Qing and the others, seemingly unwilling to walk any further. Yu Qing gestured to Daji to carry her on his back.

Putting all that aside, Yu Qing suddenly felt he needed to quickly spend the money on equipment to avoid becoming penniless and unable to make a living. So he sent Chang'e and Yao Dan to search the entire city for transportation, defensive equipment, and weapons.

Furong said, "Then I'll go buy some food..."

Yan'er laughed loudly, "Are you stupid? Isn't all the food here free?" Upon hearing this, Furong quickly found a food container and went to the tree to take food and put it into the container. This action attracted several humanoid beauties who descended from the sky and said with smiles, "These shaped containers can't hold much. Why don't you come with me to customize a container of the same shape as this one?"

Yu Qing asked, "How many RBs would that require?"

The humanoid beauty said, "Honorable guest, the food and drinks here are always free."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "So, we can stay in Jishui and not leave."

"That is an honor for our water collection."

Yu Qing exclaimed, “Your master is too clever! In such a brightly lit city that never sleeps, who would simply lie down or go home after eating and drinking their fill? That doesn’t conform to human nature.”

At this moment, Daji shouted, "There's a square-headed guy burning the Hundred Flowers Tree ahead!"

The humanoid girl hurriedly stopped Daji from shouting: "Don't shout! We don't allow any form of human to be derogatory here. Everyone is a VIP. As for burning trees, that's allowed too. You can even demolish houses if you want."

Yu Qing asked, "It doesn't matter if we destroy things at will?"

"Yes, as long as you cover the restoration costs afterwards. And here, burning the flowering tree has a special meaning; it signifies that the person is extending an invitation to those around them, essentially saying, 'Brothers, let's party! Tonight's on me.'"

Yan'er said happily, "Then let's go for another stroll..."

Yu Qing glared at her and said, "You haven't gone crazy enough yet, have you? Besides, did we come here to mooch off other people's drinks?"

At this moment, the burning Hundred Flowers Tree burst into flames, rising slowly like a colorful pillar, gradually transforming into a seven-colored cloud and dissipating into the air.

"How beautiful! Even in its demise, it remains so extraordinary. What a brilliant invention."

The humanoid girl said proudly, "This is a tree unique to our Jishui."

"This inventor must have had two more heads than us."

"How did the VIP know? Our guide is indeed incredibly capable."

Yu Qing was taken aback: "You mean, the head of the water-gathering vessel... has three heads and six arms?"

"Yes, it has two heads that work to collect water for us all the time, with only one taking a break. It's the same with its six hands; only one hand takes a break."

"Unbelievable, how could there really be such a person?"

"The leader originally only had one head and two hands, but he wanted to work for more time, so he underwent genetic modification."

"Did he design and manufacture everything here? He's an amazing person."

"It wasn't just him; there were eighty-five like-minded people who created everything in Jishui. Let's go prepare the food you need for the journey."

So Furong carried all the food containers and the humanoid girl on her back to choose food.
