Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 126: Settle down


As Shu Jing moved forward, he gradually got away from the busy streets, and the surrounding gradually became deserted.

Looking along the street, there are many buildings, but there are basically no shops. They are all bungalows. Under the night, the lights are bright, and through the windows, you can see people holding candles and reading at night.

This is an area where "locals" live together on a large scale. To be more specific, this is probably the "slum" of the library.

The "Second Generations" who fail the assessment will be driven to this area and given a simple house and some gold coins to make a living on their own.

With luck, you can find some channels, get some necessities, open a small shop, and study to prepare for exams while making a living.

The lucky ones, or most people, put on bright clothes in the morning, tidy up and dress up beautifully, go to the bustling business district to earn living expenses, and come back in the evening to hold candles at night read.

Those who are unlucky or think that they will not be able to get into the library will either gradually sink and muddle along; or they will start to raise travel expenses, plan to pack up their bags, leave the library, and find another way to make a living.

The Library of All Things does not ignore this area. On the contrary, it strictly monitors this area for the sake of the security of the entire city.

Along the way, Yang Yu saw many magicians who looked like police officers patrolling the streets to maintain law and order.

"The streets here are safer than imagined."

I said this casually, but all I got in return was Shu Jing’s wry smile,

"At least, it's safe until bedtime.

It is better not to go out for activities late at night. There are not many magicians on duty and it is a bit dangerous.

Especially travelers like you are likely to be targeted.

Now that the entrance exam is not far away, some people with ulterior motives will pretend to be adventurers or people like you who are adventurers themselves to rob passers-by... No, I'm sorry, even though you are adventurers , but definitely different from those adventurers.

After all, you treated me to such delicious cakes and parfaits. ”

"It doesn't matter. The quality of adventurers varies, and it's normal to be misunderstood."

Forgive Shu Jing for the offense, everyone chatted along the way, and after a while, they arrived at a simple hotel.

Every area here belongs to the library. The "locals" have no actual land ownership rights. Opening a hotel in such an area requires a little wisdom and skill.

Shu Jing's great-grandfather took advantage of a loophole.

At that time, the library did not expressly stipulate that the "residence card" could not be traded. If someone wanted to leave, he could exchange the residence card for a certain amount of travel expenses, or he could keep it with him so that he could return to the library later. a residence.

Shu Jing's great-grandfather worked hard to make money at that time. He used the price a little more than that of the library to purchase the residence cards of many people who wanted to completely separate themselves from the library, and established the current hotel.

Of course, as soon as this method came out, it immediately attracted many people to imitate it. In the end, the library was forced to amend the regulations. If you want to leave, you must hand in your residence card and exchange for an exit card to prevent the proliferation of hotels in the area.

As for those residence cards that have been transferred to other people, the holders must register. After their residence cards expire or are admitted to the library, they must turn in all residence cards.

So, whether Shu Jing is admitted to the library or not, this hotel will not exist for long.

Before that, this hotel was still accepting poor travelers who were unfamiliar with the city, came in a hurry, and didn't have much spare money at a much lower price than other hotels.

Standing at the door of the hotel was a woman who was also dressed in simple clothes. When she saw Shu Jing coming back, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Shu Jing, where have you run to? I almost thought you were abducted. I was about to send someone to find you!”

Shu Jing looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, mom. On the way back, I met some unfamiliar people asking for directions, which delayed me a lot of time. They had no good place to go, so I brought them back. ”

The proprietress carefully looked at Yang Yu and the female companion beside him, took Shu Jing's hand, pulled Shu Jing back to her side, gently strangled Shu Jing's neck, and held Shu Jing's neck with one hand. Jing's head was pounding, "You kid, don't just bring me some weird customers! I told you that you don't have to worry about things in the store. Go back and concentrate on your studies!"

The two quarreled for a while and pushed Shu Jing into the store. The proprietress then faced Yang Yu and the others and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, guests, this guy has caused you trouble. As you can see, Our store is relatively shabby, if you are not satisfied, you can find another one.”

"It didn't cause any trouble, or rather, it helped me a lot. As for the accommodation, as long as the price is right, we don't mind." Yang Yu took Ias and Bai Jin to the front desk and said nonchalantly, "One double room and one single room."

When I walked to the front desk, the proprietress raised a smile and said, "It's three hundred for a double room and one hundred and eighty for a single room. Food and drinks are not included."

After chatting with the landlady for a while and confirming the time of stay, the landlady personally sent Yang Yu and the others to their room.

The rooms here are not big, only about ten square meters at most, with only some very basic daily necessities. During this period, the landlady kept smiling. That smile was not one of fear or fear, but a hint of gratitude.

After settling down in this hotel, Yang Yu went to Bai Jin and Ias's room. As soon as he saw them, Yang Yu went straight to the point,

"Ias, I need you to come with me tomorrow. Bai Jin and He Meng will stay in the hotel. I will say hello to Shujing tomorrow and let you stay at his place to study."

"Huh?"

Bai Jin couldn't help but widen her eyes. Although her illness was cured, her character of telling nonsense when stimulated had not changed.

"Why is Ias the only one to go with you? It's not fair!"

Bai Jin raised her head and looked at Yang Yu with empty and nihilistic eyes,

"Hey, hey, I know. Has this day finally come? You finally couldn't hold back your inner desire and wanted to leave me to other men, and then take the tall Ias, privately... ...elope.

Or do you two want to hide it from me and secretly make a date...? There is certainly a lot to do in a town like this. It's just that you don't want to bring me a light bulb like this!

Sure enough, you are a bastard. You asked me to recover from my illness and then kicked me away. Do you really want to experience that unprecedented sense of guilt? ”

Hey, Miss Bai Jin, you are sick again.

I originally thought that after that day, Bai Jin would become more frank and would not say such things again, but it turned out that Yang Yu was still worried too much.

He felt helpless. Sure enough, had she accidentally seen her kicking the game table that day?
