Iron Armored City Chapter 10

Ask the housekeepers Goda and Buhe to take people to Old Man Zhou's "black heart shop" to buy some food and daily necessities, and then buy some steel materials to cover the surface of the vehicle, pull them back to pretend, and make a full set of plays.

It will take a long time to repair the deck of the 'Castle', but it is necessary to send a signal to the outside world that Ironclad City is being repaired.

"What is the specialty product of the town of Mambach?"

Li Yinguang looked at Goda, the housekeeper.

"Wildland Cod!"

"fish?"

Butler Goda nodded: "Yes, it is a fish, a carnivorous fish that lives in the snowy wasteland. Although it is a fish, it is an amphibious reptile. It has feet to run, gills to breathe, and sharp teeth to bite. Adult barren cod can grow up to three to five meters in size and live in groups.

Some wasteland cod brains secrete a special substance, which is an extremely expensive alchemy material. It is called 'cod dragon marrow' and is sold in grams.

Its meat is delicious, and the bones can be ground into powder to strengthen the bones. The blood is cold and milky white, and it can be nourished with soaked wine. "

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Li Yinguang scratched his head: "Where do you go to catch things like cod in the wasteland?"

Butler Goda raised his hand and pointed to the north: "Go north from Mambach Town, about a hundred kilometers away, and you will see a snow-white mountain. There is the 'Sacred Dragon Snow Mountain', which is said to be the habitat of dragons. It is a place, but it is very far away, people from the past have hardly ever returned, and the middle of the Holy Dragon Snow Mountain is the snowy wilderness, which is very large, and at the edge of the snowy wilderness, there are wild cod infested."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Even if there is no 'Iron Armored City', the convoy of explorers will go there to hunt cod in the wasteland."

Li Yinguang nodded: "Is this kind of cod expensive?"

Butler Goda nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It's quite cheap in Mambach Town, but I heard it's very expensive outside. The common cod meat in the town is about thirty or forty copper ox coins a catty, and the bones are cheaper. It looks like a dozen or twenty copper bull coins, blood is a bit expensive, half a silver bull coin is about a catty."

"Where's the cod marrow?"

"Twenty silver bull coins for one gram!"

Looking at Li Yinguang's shocked eyes, the housekeeper Goda explained with a wry smile: "There is a chance of cod dragon marrow, not all cod in the wilderness will produce 'cod dragon marrow' in their bodies. , so the price will be so expensive, even if you meet one, there will be a few grams of 'cod dragon marrow' in the body at most."

The large population in Mambach Town is mostly due to the snowy wilderness and wild cod. Ordinary people can hunt and kill them with modified vehicles and ordinary weapons.

As long as you don't go deep into the snow-covered wasteland, the risk factor is not high compared to other places.

For a while, the "Castle" iron-clad city lying in the port is useless even if it is greedy for cod in the wasteland. There is only a "z3-type" melting furnace that is about to be scrapped, and there is no fuel reserve. Where can I go? ?

If you didn't catch your prey when you went out, you were hunted down first.

But it's not a solution to lie down in the port of Mambach town like this all the time. It won't last long if such a mountain is empty.

The iron-clad city of the "Old Castle" needs maintenance, people need food, and even the "mysterious gem" stitched to Li Yinguang's heart needs to be replenished with energy.

You have to figure out a way to make money!

Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully: "People in Mambach Town, do you have any recreational activities?"

"Entertainment?"

Butler Goda thought for a while and said with a dry smile: "Going to the gambling house to play money, going to the pimp tavern to find women, going to the **** mob hall to watch or play games, are these entertainment activities?"

Li Yinguang nodded seriously: "Forget it!"

Butler Goda said: "Then these are the daily entertainments of the people in Mambach Town!"

"Are there any small newspapers with lace news?"

"Master, what is side news?"

Li Yinguang shook his head and didn't answer, but began to ponder in his heart. In the steampunk world, many things in his mind can be realized. You must know that he is a time traveler. Apart from being lucky, this is his biggest golden finger.

As long as people don't kill people in the street in Mambach, there aren't many other prohibited punishments.

For example, if two people scold each other, even if they spit in each other's face and fight with each other, as long as they don't draw out their weapons and injure or maim people, they will be fined at most.

Swearing is not against the law, and you don't have to pay for your life when you are mad!

Newspapers exist in the steampunk world, but small newspapers do not seem to have them. At least Goda, the housekeeper, has never heard of them in the town of Mambach.

It didn't cost much to try, so Li Yinguang made up his mind and asked the Master to leave the 'Old Castle' and go to the town.

Renting a house in Mambach Town is not very expensive, but renting a house in a slum is even cheaper, and even as long as the fist is hard enough, there is no need to rent.

In order to facilitate the purchase, Li Yinguang directly spent six silver bulls to buy the house next to the street of Old Man Zhou's Black Heart Shop.

Don't think that six silver bull coins are too little, one silver bull coin is equivalent to a thousand copper bull coins, and a few silver bull coins are enough for the basic monthly expenses of a family of three.

"Mechanical typesetting printer?"

Old man Zhou squinted his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Why do you want that thing?"

Li Yinguang said with a hippie smile, "I want to start a newspaper!"

"Newspaper?"

Old man Zhou froze for a moment~www.mtlnovel.com~ shook his head and didn't say anything, but brought a "mechanical printer" for Li Yinguang, which was as big as a piano, weighed several hundred catties, and needed a few strong men Only then can it be lifted.

"Fourteen silver bulls, cash settlement, no credit!"

Li Yinguang muttered something stingy in a low voice, his "newspaper office" is next to the black heart store, can he escape? He figured it out, the old man Zhou is a small favor to the people in the slums, but if you want to buy more expensive things on credit from black-hearted grocery stores, let alone doors, you don't even have windows.

With a mechanical printer, everything else falls into place. A newspaper and a piece of paper, newspaper-sized paper, cost around ten copper bulls.

"The name of the newspaper is 'Mambach Town Daily'!"

"Boss, no."

Butler Goda shook his head.

Li Yinguang frowned and looked at him and asked, "Why not?"

The housekeeper Goda smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "Mambach Town Daily is the official newspaper of Mambach Town, and it is the property of the lord of Mambach Town, so we can't use this name!"

The lord still runs newspapers?

Well, since the name 'Mambach Town Daily' cannot be used, it should be called 'Mambach Town Tabloid', at least it can be used without duplication.

You don't even need to register to set up a 'newspaper office', just go to the tax official and pay the fee. No matter what you do, as long as you want to operate in the 'Mambach Town', you have to pay 200 copper bulls to hundreds of silver bulls every year' Business tax' can be.

A newly established tabloid like this only needs 200 copper bulls, but if you become famous in the later stage, you don't need to go to the tax official. The tax official in the town will take the initiative to find you to discuss tax issues.

Generally speaking, the lord of Mambach town is quite understanding and will handle it.
