Chapter 5 Chu Yan's Birthplace (k)

Chu Yan still didn't have the magic party with the girls in the end, even though he had the legitimate reason of "pre-war preparation". But since Tiffany's mom was here, he didn't dare to be too rampant.

Shanoya and the others had plenty of spare magic power, so they didn't encounter any battles after leaving Paradise City and were very safe.

They revealed the hidden thigh marks, and they were all very clear. It would take at least two medium-sized battles before their reserve magic power would show signs of being exhausted.

The next morning.

After resting, everyone got ready to go, and Chu Yan moved to find the little green-haired Green.

"Everyone, wait a moment. I'll go call the guide. We'll set off soon. Don't fall asleep again. I'm talking about you, auntie!"

The young female elder with dark red hair still didn't take Chu Yan's call seriously. She nodded perfunctorily but couldn't stop yawning.

"I know. Don't follow Weilin's example and disturb my sleep. Go find someone. When someone comes... Ha~ I'll be almost awake soon."

As Nancy spoke, she sat down on the sofa, looking like she was going to take a nap.

Xia Nuoya followed and said, "I'm

290

You come with me, I just want to take a walk here."

Chu Yan nodded happily: "Okay."

He was actually quite worried. Since Xia Nuoya wanted to go along, the others would also follow. Then there would be a lot of people showing up, which would be quite conspicuous.

However, everyone knew his worries. Since Xia Nuoya had taken the lead, they would not follow her. It didn't matter if they spent some time together.

Going around the streets and alleys of the city, you can escape from the hustle and bustle into the tranquility.

Xia Nuoya couldn't help but be surprised. The row of houses in front of her were low, cramped, and densely packed like a honeycomb, but the buildings behind them were tall and luxurious.

This change was just a matter of crossing a street and turning a corner.

"Is this place... considered a civilian area? It's like the division in Paradise City in the past." asked the female knight.

"You can say that, but this place should be for those fledgling adventurers who don't have enough money and haven't joined an adventure team or adventure group. They live in places like this before they become rich to save on living expenses."

"Chu Yan, you just got here too, don't you? Do you already understand everything so clearly?"

"It's all thanks to Miss Eve. She prepared all the information..." Chu Yan made an excuse.

He wouldn't say it, in fact he was just guessing, but the last time he came to find Little Green Hair, Chu Yan felt that this place was a bit like a village in the city.

But it doesn't mean that only poor people live in such places. This area is home to a large number of adventurers. If they can kill monsters, they can make money, so it can't be that poor.

On the way here, several B-rank and C-rank adventurers passed by.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan touched the adventurer badge in his pocket. Even though it was filled with funds from the rich sister, his adventurer level was still G.

This is probably because he doesn't want to be noticed by other members of the Meduso family. If a new A-level or B-level adventurer suddenly appears, it will be quite conspicuous.

"Before entering the tower, take on a few quests to see if you can get promoted to D-rank..."

To improve the level of the badge, you need to rely on the bounty commissions issued by the guild, which is similar to contribution points.

Different levels can get different purchasing services and have access to more rare treasures.

Although there was not much shortage of things, this "level unlocking mall" business model still attracted Chu Yan's curiosity, and he wanted to see what was in the high-level mall.

"Hey, why is there a bunny girl here?"

Chu Yan was puzzled, so he pulled Xia Nuoya aside and observed secretly.

Ahead is the home of the little green-haired girl. The bunny girl in white silk seems to be a real demi-human, and her bunny ears are real.

She stopped at the door and knocked on Groen's door.

After Groen opened the door to greet her, the bunny girl immediately put on a tearful expression, which was completely different from the mood she had when she walked in just now.

"Miss Bi Chi, why are you so sad? Did the casino manager scold you again?"

The bunny girl covered her face, whimpered for a while, and sobbed:

"...Yes, there are few customers in the casino recently, and the tables that are cleaned every day are hardly touched. Can Mr. Groen go and patronize it? Otherwise, I will be scolded again, and even my salary will be deducted!"

The little green-haired boy was sad. He took out a crumpled banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into the bunny girl's hand:

"Adventurers' business has been tough lately. This is all the money I have. Miss Bi Chi, you can use it first. When things get better after a while, I will definitely win the bet and take you away from there!"

The two of them talked to each other from the bottom of their hearts, revealing their true feelings to each other.

The green-haired boy was expressing his love and making big promises to get the girl to wait for him.

The bunny girl is suing for money, wanting Green to spend more.

After a while, I felt that Groen was not lying and he really had no money.

Bunny girl Hichi wiped her tears and said goodbye:

"I have to go back to work, otherwise the manager will scold me. Go Ryan, make some money. I'll wait for you to go to the casino again. I'll pray to the goddess of luck for you!"

The little green-haired boy looked at the entrance of the alley with affection until the bunny girl disappeared.

Chu Yan and Xia Nuoya poked their heads out, and Ge Ruien said in surprise:

"Hey! Master Chu Yan, why are you here!"

Chu Yan's mood was very complicated now. He didn't expect that Ge Ruien was really trapped by the woman in the casino.

Even if I give him the order, he will probably squander it sooner or later.

"Before we get down to business, please allow me to say one more thing. Who was that bunny girl just now? "

"We are lovers, and I am fighting for each other's happy future!" The little green-haired boy's eyes were extremely determined.

If we were to make a literary appreciation of his eyes, it would inevitably include the bitterness of the current situation, the yearning for the future, and the loyalty to love.

Xia Nuoya couldn't help but ask: "Do you think the woman who made you throw money into the casino really wants to be with you?"

The little green-haired boy said confidently: "She prayed for our future. She prayed for me to win every time, hoping that I could save her from the whirlpool as soon as possible?"

Shanoya: “…”

Chu Yan had a headache, but decided not to be distracted by the other party's personal affairs, as long as it did not affect his main business.

He took out 20 gold coins and placed them in Groen's hand as a deposit, saying:

"I would like to ask you, Ge Ruien, to lead the way. Let's take the path you mentioned last time.

291

A small path that can cross the Imperial blockade, okay?"

Groen was very grateful. He took the gold coin and said cautiously:

"Master, if you want to lead the way, it will cost 50 gold coins. Because it is quite dangerous there, the price will be a bit expensive."

Xia Nuoya was a girl from a poor place, simple and frugal. She felt sorry for Chu Yan when she saw those gold coins.

At the same time, I also feel that the expenses in different places are really not at the same level.

In the Tower of Babel area, it seems that copper coins do not exist as the basic currency. Silver coins and gold coins are often used, and the prices are frighteningly high.

It costs several gold coins to repair a weapon.

And if the intelligence dealer gives out the exclusive secret passage he knows, 50 gold coins won't make a difference.

Chu Yan said cheerfully: "No problem, I will give you the remaining money after we enter the Tower of Babel. If you can continue to help us explore the way forward, I will not treat you unfairly."

He didn't want to pay the full amount now, not because he was afraid that the man would cheat and run away with the bill, but because the bunny girl didn't go too far.

Chu Yan was afraid that the little green-haired boy would enter the tower, so he gave all the gold coins to the bunny girl.

"Master Chu Yan, when are we leaving?"

"Now."

*

After negotiating with the guide, Chu Yan went to the Adventurer's Guild to take on a few commissions, and then led the team directly to the Tower of Babel.

The gate of the Tower of Babel was open, and a chaotic fog was surging inside.

Walking into the fog, it was as if I was in a teleportation portal. After my vision blurred for a moment, I entered the Tower of Babel.

Due to years of development, the teleportation destination is an adventurer's camp.

The village was big and small, with a bonfire in the center that never went out. The fire illuminated the surroundings and dispelled the darkness in the cave.

There are some simple facilities in the camp, including a blacksmith shop, a charcoal-baked bakery, and tents manned by healing priests, all of whom are members of the Adventurer's Guild.

The most indispensable thing here are adventurers, but they are all lifeless and lack energy.

Occasionally, a few adventurers returned from the danger zone, and their conversations with each other were filled with sighs and helplessness.

[We hunted some small things today. When will the blockade be lifted? ]

[I have to change to a more worn-out sword tomorrow. At least I won’t feel bad if it breaks. If I use my own superior weapon again, I won’t be able to earn back the repair costs.]

[Damn it! I drank a bottle of healing potion today, and just calculated today's hunting income, and I lost 3 gold coins! ]

[I really regret not saving money before. The business of the sex shop has been bad recently and they are forced to offer discounts. This should be the time for me to experience the angel service! ]

The appearance of Chu Yan and his group naturally attracted the attention of the adventurers.

They couldn't help but feel curious. Looking at this large group of people, it was obvious that they were going to the lower level to hunt, but that place was blocked by the imperial army.

Seeing Chu Yan, who was leading the group and was dressed elegantly, obviously the young master of a wealthy family, the adventurers immediately understood.

They saw that this strange team had some strength, but most of them just sneered.

[I don't know which family this young master is from. I'm afraid he went directly to the blockade to ask the Imperial Army to give him some face.]

【Being born into a wealthy family does make you feel better about yourself and feel that the world revolves around you. 】

[A few days ago, there was also a group of rich ladies, but they were finally defeated by the Imperial Army and left in disgrace.]

Chu Yan did hear such a voice, but he didn't take it to heart.

These adventurers were not deliberately arguing or anything like that. They were probably just complaining among their friends. Because there were so many people around them, they thought they would not be heard if they whispered a few words.

It is just like when a student meeting is held in the auditorium, surrounded by a sea of ​​people, some students may think that the loud sound of their farts will not be noticed by others, but this is all wishful thinking.

Even if you try hard to inhale to recover the fragrance, it cannot be covered up.

Under the leadership of Little Green Hair, Chu Yan and his group walked for several hours and got on a means of transportation - a mine cart.

There should be no minerals here, but mine carts are a means of transportation, which is indeed convenient in places like this.

There is no maintenance cost such as fuel required, it is entirely hand-pushed, the structure is simple, and it is not so sophisticated that it cannot be used if it is slightly bumped or scratched.

As a guide, Groen, probably based on the concept of high-quality service, really regarded himself as a tour guide and introduced the construction of the mine car track.

It is said that the first group of adventurers discovered the original traces of track repair here and thought of building mine carts to save time.

But where the original traces came from is unknown.

"Grein, why did you wear a helmet to hide your presence after entering the Tower of Babel?"

Chu Yan knocked on the little green-haired boy's helmet curiously.

This is the cheapest model of knight's head armor, which is fully wrapped and has average defensive power.

Little Green Hair opened the visor cover and responded:

"Master, if I am seen leading the way by others, they will definitely know that you are planning to take the small road, and someone will follow you."

"That's right, how long will it take us to get there?"

"The mine cart can take us to the entrance of the lower level, and we just need to keep going. If we don't rest and keep marching at a high speed, we can reach the destination the night after tomorrow."

"The night after tomorrow?" Chu Yan was stunned.

"The second half of the night after tomorrow."
