Cosmic Professional Gladiator Chapter 29: Leaving Lanyue City

Xu Jingming opened his eyes and saw a simple room with a one-eyed man sleeping soundly on the bed.

"This is the house I rented!" Xu Jingming was stunned. At this moment, his body was covered with light and shadow. When any player was online, there would be light and shadow. At this moment, the original residents could not see the player.

After the light and shadow dissipate, the original inhabitants can only see the player.

Three seconds after going online, the light and shadow dissipated. Xu Jingming turned his hand and held a flying knife in his left hand, which he placed on the neck of the one-eyed man.

"Bang." Slapped the one-eyed man.

A sleeping one-eyed man was slapped and woken up! Also a little confused.

What's the matter? where am I? Is it day or night now?

The one-eyed man woke up and saw Xu Jingming in front of him and the cold flying knife in his neck!

"Forgive your life, you can say whatever you want," the one-eyed man said immediately.

"Why are you in my house?" Xu Jingming said.

"I, I saw that no one came in or out of this house for several days, so I came in and took a look." The one-eyed man flattered, "I don't have a place to live, so I sleep here temporarily at night, and ask the hero to spare the little one. ."

"Did you take my money?" Xu Jingming stared at him...

"No, I didn't find it." The one-eyed man heard a move in his heart, this old house has money hidden?

Xu Jingming then took the flying knife: "Go away!"

The one-eyed man sat up with a smile: "I'm going, I'm going." At the same time he sat up, he suddenly waved his hand from the bed, and a cold light passed over Xu Jingming. But when he swung it out, his eyes widened, and there was already a blood hole in his throat! He didn't even see Xu Jingming make a move.

"A rogue scoundrel dares to make moves against me." Xu Jingming shook his head. In his eyes, ordinary rogue moves were indeed slow-motion like a snail crawling. After killing the Poppy, Xu Jingming inspected the Poppy's body and walked out of the house immediately.

It is night time now, and the waning moon hangs high in the night sky.

Xu Jingming walked to the small courtyard. There were firewood piled in the small courtyard, and the pile of wood was quite heavy. Xu Jingming gently lifted it from the bottom with one hand, which required a thousand jins of strength. a package.

"The silver is still there." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

"The rules of this world of blood rain are also harsh. Players disappear when they go offline, and they can carry other items on their bodies, except for gold and silver." Xu Jingming sighed that the gold and silver in the world of blood rain are extremely valuable.

So silver notes, gold and silver, etc. cannot be carried offline.

If you want to go offline, you have to hide the banknotes and other items! Under the careless, it is very possible to be stolen.

"For this little money, there is no need to enable the 'smart on-hook' function." Xu Jingming said secretly.

Smart on-hook means that the body still stays in the world of blood rain, and is controlled by "intelligence"! In terms of rational logic, intelligence is not inferior to players. But in terms of combat, intelligence is much weaker, and the routine is fixed! And play at most the strength of third-rate masters.

In some special cases, such as having to be online for a long time, but in reality there are other things to deal with, you need to 'smart on-hook'.

The smart on-hook service is charged, with an annual fee of 100,000 Universe Coins.

It's expensive!

Xu Jingming returned to the house, circled the skinned corpse, carried the corpse in one hand, and left in the dark. The place he rented was an ordinary old dwelling, and the surrounding security was very poor. He directly threw the corpse into the ruins a mile away.

……

In the early morning, Xu Jingming had breakfast at a street-side shop.

Many poor people who come and go are quite envious of the steaming shops, but they are all rich people who are willing to eat in restaurants, restaurants, shops and other places early! A big meat bun needs a knife coin, and you can buy one or two catties of rice. It is much more cost-effective to eat at home.

"Lanyue City is also a big city, people's livelihood is still so difficult, the government and gangs are squeezing the civilians together." Xu Jingming secretly sighed that the current era of the blood rain world is a period of decay of the empire and chaos of the world.

The inside of the city is considered to be in good order, but outside the city is the real lawlessness, where bandits are rampant, and human life is as cheap as grass.

"It's almost time, it's time to go to Fei's house." Xu Jingming lined up five knives on the table, then got up and left. A little Er immediately put away the knives and coins and started to clean up the table.

A moment later.

In front of the Fei family's mansion, Xu Jingming came with a gun holster on his back, and a servant led him: "Guard Jing, the lady has already told us to wait here, please guard Jing in the front hall to rest first, and the young lady will come to see you later. Everyone."

Xu Jingming nodded and walked to the front hall.

In the front hall, there was a tall man sitting there, enjoying a drink of tea leisurely. When he found that Xu Jingming had been brought in, the tall man immediately got up happily, smiled and said enthusiastically, "It's under Luo Baichuan."

"Jing Ming." Xu Jingming also bowed.

"Brother Jingming was also invited to be the guard?" Luo Baichuan laughed, he also noticed the gun holster Xu Jingming was carrying.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

Luo Baichuan said warmly, "Brother Jingming, hurry up and sit down. We can work together in the future. I was in the Black Axe Gang before..." Luo Baichuan likes to make friends, so he kept talking while holding Xu Jingming. I have said it all myself.

Xu Jingming also briefly chatted, of course, Luo Baichuan said ten sentences, the kind he said one sentence.

After chatting for half an hour.

Finally, two women walked in, one was still a young girl, the other was a stern and stern woman.

"Hello Big Brother Luo, Big Brother Jing!" The girl walked in and saw Xu Jingming and Luo Baichuan with a bright smile, "I'll introduce to you, the one next to me is the senior sister of our Feijian Museum' Qiu Tong 'Senior Sister Qiu. This time when I go to the imperial capital, I will trouble the three of you!"

"I'll do my best in nature." Luo Baichuan said immediately, and Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong also responded.

"The journey to the Imperial Capital is long and difficult and dangerous. Therefore, our Fei family is very careful in choosing guards. The three are specially invited by me, and the other guards are chosen by my father." The girl Fei Xinlan sat down and said , without any concealment.

The three of Xu Jingming chatted with the eldest young lady, and soon, the housekeeper Zhang Bo came.

"Three." Zhang Bo, the housekeeper, said, "When we go to the imperial capital, we need to check the identity badge on the way! Especially in the imperial capital, the identity check is strict. The three...are they all registered with household registration? If not, now I will I'll take you to the government, first register the household registration, and get an identity badge."

"I have registered." Qiu Tong said softly.

"I also registered half a year ago." Luo Baichuan said with a smile, "Without an identity badge, I can't go to the bank to deposit money, so I have to register."

Xu Jingming got up: "I didn't register."

"Guard Jing, please come with me quickly." Butler Zhang Bo said, "I will take you there, and you can register in the morning."

Xu Jingming nodded.

Identity badge, equivalent to the ID card on Blue Star! In the most stable period of imperial rule in the blood rain world, every common person had to register to receive an identity badge. Without an identity badge, they could not go to other places.

Of course, the management is loose in various places, and in many places, the government's control is very weak. Few of the ordinary people outside the city have registered at all, even if most of the civilians in the city have not registered their household registration.

……

On the street.

The housekeeper Zhang Bo, Xu Jingming and two servants walked together.

"Guard Jing, I heard that when you fought against Elder Feng Huayue before, you blocked him a lot?" Zhang Bo asked with a smile.

"I'm still at a disadvantage." Xu Jingming said.

"It seems that you are also approaching the realm of a first-class master." Zhang Bo smiled, "Master knows about you, and specially ordered to increase your employment fee to 100 taels per month."

Xu Jingming is quite grateful: "Xie Fei, butler Xie Zhang."

Although he has reached a first-class level now, when he played against Elder Feng of Huayue Gang, he was indeed a lot inferior! According to the record at that time, the Fei family raised the fee so much... It is indeed a very conscientious owner.

Xu Jingming can't say for himself that I have reached a first-class level.

Because in the world of Blood Rain, the 'first-class state' is very vague! After all, the original residents don't have panels, so they can't see their actual combat bonuses! They are all based on actual combat to determine the approximate level to which they belong.

If Xu Jingming wants to prove that he is a first-class master, he also needs to rely on actual combat proof!

********

Because the Fei family's housekeeper 'Zhang Bo' came forward, the government's yamen was also very fast, and quickly registered Xu Jingming's household registration, and the government also kept a bottom book. And the waist card was carved with precious 'black jade'.

The waist cards are also made of different materials. The common ones are wood and bamboo, the better ones are stone, the better ones are metal, and the higher ones are some precious things.

Black jade is a kind of jade.

On this waist card, Xu Jingming's appearance was drawn in a few strokes. At least the approximate face shape and facial features can be determined.

It is also recorded that Xu Jingming's hometown is "a hundred miles east of Lanyue City, Shizipo Village".

Also records the age and the date of the waist card burning.

"Identity waist card." Xu Jingming held this black jade waist card, secretly sighing, the record is quite detailed, even if it is inserted into the belt, it can be carried with you.

……

In the next few days, after receiving the first month's wages, Xu Jingming also went to the official bank to save money! A total of 'one hundred and fifty taels' of silver existed. Because of the official bank note, the minimum amount is also '50 taels'! And there is a fee for depositing money!

There is no way, Xu Jingming can't rush to the imperial capital with more than ten catties of silver on his back. It is much more convenient to save in silver notes, and he is not afraid of looting!

"I've gone this time, I don't know when I'll be back." Master Fei looked at his old house with mixed feelings.

Fei Xinlan is also very reluctant.

She has grown up here since she was a child, and she is very affectionate in every plant and tree.

"Old Zhang, this old Fei family's house will be taken care of by you guys in the future." Master Fei said.

"Yes, sir." An old man answered the order, and there were servants beside him. The Fei family still keeps some servants and maintains the entire old house for a long time. Of course, most of the other businesses have already sold out.

"Let's go."

Master Fei and Fei Xinlan got into a relatively simple-looking carriage, and two maids entered the carriage to serve.

"It's a big deal. The horses of the guards are quite majestic and handsome. They are all good horses." Xu Jingming rode a horse. Tried it! After all, in the past month or so, in addition to trying to escape from the dark abyss, I also experienced a lot of virtual worlds, but all of them were just a few tastes.

Riding, fighting in the army, fighting in the arena... He has tried a lot, and after reaching the cell-level control, riding a horse is also very easy.

The horse team, soon out of the north gate.

"Lanyuecheng, I'm leaving." Xu Jingming, Luo Baichuan, Qiu Tong and many other guards looked at him with reluctance. Many of them have left their hometowns. Once they go to the imperial capital, it is very difficult to return in this life.

But for the future, for a brighter future, they are all willing to go to the imperial capital.

"Lanyue City is the first city I came to the world of blood rain, and it is also my nominal hometown in the world of blood rain." Xu Jingming also felt a little emotional.

"Drive!"

Riding on a horse and following the convoy, Xu Jingming stopped looking back and headed north all the way.

……

After exiting the North City Gate, the motorcade continued along the official road.

The horses are handsome, and the carriages are also luxury goods made by top craftsmen. Sitting in the car, after buffering, the vibration of the car was completely within the tolerance range, Fei Xinlan also opened the curtains and looked outside curiously.

"I heard that it's very chaotic outside the city." Fei Xinlan whispered, she was so big, and at most she walked around outside the city gate, and never went further.

"In the city there are officials, blood and rain guards, many families, and gangs. All hope that the city will be stable." Master Fei said with a smile, "But outside the city is different. , human life is really cheap.

Fei Xinlan nodded slightly.

"That's why people outside the city want to settle in the city." Master Fei also looked out the window, "We have to rush to the imperial capital. The journey is long and it's not easy."

Fei Xinlan is curious, isn't it easy?

As the eldest lady who has never left for a long time, she only feels that everything outside is so fresh.

Starting in the morning and stopping at noon in the open area of ​​the road to eat the food that was carried.

"I drove more than 200 miles in one morning without encountering any robbers. Isn't that saying that there are too many robbers in the city?" Fei Xinlan muttered while sitting on the grass, eating delicate pastries.

Qiu Tong, who was sitting on the side, said indifferently: "Junior sister, the horses the Fei family bought are all high-quality horses, such a horse team... When the bandits look from a distance, they know that they are not easy to mess with! Because they are a little weaker. These forces are simply reluctant to buy so many good horses, and dare not be so ostentatious! Ordinary bandits would not dare to come and die."

"A good horse?" Fei Xinlan shook her head, "I heard that there are some famous horses in the world that can travel thousands of miles a day. My horses are nothing."

"You said that you can travel thousands of miles a day, but you can't find a single one in Lanyue City! One is worth 10,000 taels of silver." Qiu Tong said, suddenly she saw a group of people walking from the woods in the distance. Out of the middle, Qiu Tong smiled, "Junior sister, didn't you say there are no bandits, bandits are coming!"

Xu Jingming, Luo Baichuan and other guards all looked into the distance.

"Robbers?" Master Fei was very calm. When he was working alone in the family business, he had experienced great winds and waves long ago.

There are hundreds of people in the distance, holding bows and arrows, and the head is a man in red dressed quite enchantingly.

The man in red said, his voice resounding loudly and loudly: "It's a good team, these horses are all good horses. I don't know if the master of the horse team, will you have pity on me? Give me some silver taels, how many of us will be? Brother Bai has not been full for several days."

"I'll give you 10 taels of silver, go away quickly." Butler Zhang Bo shouted.

"Ten taels of silver?" The red-clothed man laughed dumbly, "Is the master of the horse team joking? At least three hundred taels of silver! This is the least. This silver must be for the master of the horse team..."

"Guard Jing, guard Luo, guard Qiu, guard Fan, guard Yu, the five of you, kill them." Butler Zhang Bo then ordered.

Xu Jingming heard it, and instantly pulled out the two spears behind him, and it was stuck in one turn.

Luo Baichuan also took out two hand axes from behind him.

Qiu Tong drew his sword instantly.

Whoosh whoosh!

Among the guards, five figures rushed out at the same time, like five arrows heading straight for the bandit group.

"The inflow master." The man in red shrank his pupils when he saw this, and from the speed of running, it could be determined that all of them were in the inflow level.

"Fire arrows." The man in red ordered.

Fifty bandits were shooting arrows at once! There were also other bandits with throwing weapons. To be able to form such a large-scale bandit gang, and to survive to this day, is naturally quite powerful.

Under the arrows and throwing weapons, five figures rushed into the bandit gang. The bandits fell like grass for a while, and many bandits were thrown into the air, flying seven or eight meters high.

"What?" Seeing this scene, the man in red was stunned. "These five people are all at least second-rate experts."

As a bandit leader, he is a second-rate expert, and he believes that with the cooperation of his gang, he is enough to threaten some third-rate experts. But 'second-rate masters' are much stronger than third-rate masters in terms of environmental control and actual combat.

"Send five people at random, is that so powerful?" The man in red shouted loudly, "Withdraw!"

He turned into a red streamer and escaped the fastest! Hundreds of robbers fled in panic, scattered and fled away.

The five guards stopped and began to return.

"How about these five new recruits?" Master Fei looked at him from a distance and laughed softly.

The silver-haired old man beside him looked at him and nodded slightly: "The other four are considered second-rate masters, but Jing Guard's marksmanship is quite extraordinary, and the invisible spear intent shrouds all directions, making the enemy tremble, and he seems to have reached the first-rate level."

"First-class state?" Master Fei's eyes lit up.

"I can feel that sense of oppression." The silver-haired old man nodded, "Master Fei has hired a good helper this time."

Master Fei laughed and was in a good mood.

The first-class masters around him are all Blood Rain Guard masters sent by his son. The other guards are all second-rate, and now it seems that there is one more first-rate expert.

A first-class master is rare in the world of Blood Rain. If you are willing to join the gang, they are all elders of the Huayue Gang and people like Keqing. It's easy to get rich! There are very few people who are willing to be guards.

Generally you have to be a wealthy family ~IndoMTL.com~ or a real illustrious person to be able to use some first-class masters. For example, the eldest son of the Fei family.

"Anyway, with one more first-class expert, the journey will be smoother," said the silver-haired old man.

Master Fei nodded slightly: "I feel more at ease as the guard is by my daughter's side. Remember, my daughter Xinlan's safety is the number one priority on this trip, and I have one foot in the coffin. I'm an old man, and everything is about my daughter's safety."

"Don't worry, my lord." The silver-haired old man nodded, "The three masters were originally arranged by the lady's side, but now there are more Jing guards."

Master Fei nodded.

Actually, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow his son's instructions to go to the imperial capital!

After all, the journey is long, and even if the guards are very strong, he is worried that something will go wrong on the way. He is an old guy who will die when he dies, but his daughter is still young.

……

After defeating this bandit, the Fei family's motorcade quickly embarked on a journey again, all the way north, towards the imperial capital.
