Secret Dice Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Enemies meet on a narrow road

After dinner, it was still not too late. Many of the energetic students couldn't stay still and went out for a walk in groups.

Tongda Town is officially controlled by the government, but secretly it is within the sphere of influence of Bainamen. Generally speaking, it is very safe. However, in order not to affect their departure the next day, Teacher Tie still asked them to come back before seven o'clock.

There is a big bell in the center of Tongda Town. It rings every hour during the day and can be heard almost in the whole town. The bell will be rung once at Xu hour (seven o'clock) at the latest in the evening, then it will be replaced by a watchman, and it will start ringing again at Mao o'clock (five o'clock) the next morning.

So it is stipulated to come back at seven o'clock, that is, before the last bell rings in the evening.

Of course, even if there is no bell, many students still have ways to tell time. When you get the treasure box for the first time, you can set the shape and structure as you like. There are upper limits for size, strength, and complexity. It cannot make anything too big or too hard, nor can it be made with instruments that are too precise, but relatively simple ones are fine. According to the experiments of many predecessors, the most complicated one is the mechanical watch.

It just so happens that the technology in most other worlds is relatively backward and timekeeping is inconvenient, so experienced practitioners often warn their disciples or juniors in the family that it is best to set the treasure box like a watch or pocket watch after participating in the Chaos mission for the first time. Luo Jun was able to get the timing device right.

Luo Jun, Lu Fei, Zhao Jian, and Xu Yiming went for a stroll on the street together.

Tongda Town is located on an important transportation road, with a high population mobility. Commodities from the east, west, north and south are also gathered here, making the business here very developed. The shops are open until late. Several main streets are decorated with lights and are very lively.

"How much does this cost?" Luo Jun picked up a bunch of snacks. The method is somewhat similar to the candied haws, but the rock candy is wrapped in a kind of fruit that he has never seen before. With Luo Jun's perception, he can smell something different even through the rock candy. The fragrance…

“This is the sour spirit fruit from the south. It's sour and sweet and very delicious. It's not expensive. A bunch costs five cents…”

The waiter inside took out a small scale and weighed the silver: "Please take a look, sir. Twenty two six cents and four cents... totaling two thousand six hundred and forty cents. Is it all exchanged for you?"

"The silver in [Wulin] is very valuable. One tael can be exchanged for a thousand yuan. Ordinary small vendors cannot accept it." Lu Fei gave the three people some knowledge on the way: "You have at least two or three taels of silver, which is equivalent to using It is certainly difficult for people to buy sugar-coated haws with a big ticket of two thousand. "

"What is it?" Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming had never heard of these terms and were confused. Lu Fei came over and took out his money bag: "I have copper coins..."

"Ouch..." The merchant picked up the silver and said, "Sir, my small business can't accept so much money. Why don't you go to the Jubao Building over there to exchange some copper coins... Or go to those merchants, they have a name Silver scissors can be traded for silver."

While talking, several people had already arrived at the Treasure Building. After entering, they found a counter and Luo Jun handed over the money.

Luo Jun stopped him: "We agreed, I'm happy to have picked up some money today, and all my expenses will be mine... I went to the Jubao Building within a few steps to change some money..."

"Okay... The exchange of silver is less than one thousand, and I will charge you a handling fee of five cents." As he said that, the clerk took out a pair of scissors, cut off a piece and weighed it. If it was not enough, he cut it again. After weighing it several times, he added the remaining silver and one tael. A large pile of copper coins was handed back to Luo Jun.

“So many?” Luo Jun picked up the copper coins and found that they were a large bunch plus a small bunch, plus dozens of coins.

Luo Jun took out half a piece of broken silver and said, "Give me four skewers!"

More than two thousand copper coins were too much to carry around, so Luo Jun said, "Exchange them for 640."

As he spoke, he pulled the three of them forward.

"These are basically enough for the whole journey." After exiting the gate of Treasure Building, Lu Fei said with a smile: "If calculated based on the purchase of food, one penny is basically equivalent to one Cathay coin in the main world... But, [Martial Arts] productivity and There are differences in the main world. Food here is relatively more valuable. People usually have nothing to spend money on except food, clothing and clothing, so labor is relatively cheap. If calculated based on wages, most people cannot make the same amount of money in a month..."

“You didn't talk about these during the training, right?” Luo Jun said in surprise: “Senior, you know a lot.”

Lu Fei smiled and said: "My future ambition is to be an explorer in [Martial Arts], so I did some homework in advance." "Amazing!" Luo Jun nodded. Zhao Jian on the side scratched his head: "But I remember that in ancient times, it was one, two, and six cents. Why is it still in decimal here?"

Lu Fei glanced at him: "This is not ancient times, it's a different world!"

While talking, several people returned to the stall, only to find a girl in yellow buying sour spirit fruits there, with several young men following her, scrambling to pay.

It looks familiar... Luo Jun's eyes suddenly widened. Isn't this the Ying'er who came to the inn to cause trouble?

Lu Fei, Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming also recognized the girl. They looked at each other and immediately turned around without wanting to cause trouble. But the Ying'er had already noticed them.

“Stop!”

The girl's call came from behind. The few people were not willing to listen, but they even quickened their pace.

But at this moment, three figures came out and stopped in front of the four people. Looking back, there were three more people behind them. They were the same people who had just rushed to pay the girl.

These people are strong and strong, holding long swords in their hands, and their bodies are still full of shiny Gangqi. It can be seen that they are all practitioners.

"Okay, I didn't expect to be bumped into by this girl here!" The girl passed the three young men and came to the four of them. When she saw the large bunch of copper coins still in Luo Jun's hand, her eyebrows suddenly stood up: "In your hands The money must be exchanged for my silver!”

As she spoke, she looked at a tall man next to her: "Senior Brother Wu, they are the people at the inn who caused me to lose my pocket money!"

Senior Brother Wu snorted coldly and looked at Luo Jun: "Boy, give my junior sister's money back! Apologize to her!"

Luo Jun looked at a few people and chuckled: "Your junior sister wanted to kill someone just now, and it scared the little heart out of me. Isn't it too much to pay for some mental damage?"

As he spoke, he pretended to be scared and moved his hands in his arms to simulate his heartbeat.

“Glib tongue!” Ying'er became furious when she saw him: “Senior brother, just paying back the money is not enough, I will slap him in the mouth a hundred times and make him kneel down and kowtow to admit his mistake!”

"Junior sister..." Senior Brother Wu looked embarrassed: "They are also people from the Jianghu. Before leaving, Master told them not to cause trouble... and Senior Sister Liu's side..."

“Okay, you are indeed more interested in senior sister than me!” Ying'er immediately cried and said, “It turns out that everything you said before was a lie to me…”

"No... these are two different things..." Senior Brother Wu looked embarrassed, but Ying'er cried harder, and the pedestrians around him also looked over. He couldn't help it, and finally glanced at Luo Jun, gritted his teeth and said:

“Get him!”

Several other junior brothers rushed up one after another.
