Chapter 89 Happiness InnThe sharpness of the Blue Bird Sword was indeed comparable to that of a divine weapon.
In addition, there were 16 Mystery Marks on the sword body, which led to the profound nature of the sword. It was the best choice for the star-rated sword skill.
With the Blue Bird Sword hanging around his waist, Lin Beichen dressed up, changed his clothes, and slipped out of the Third College after wearing a goggles-like mask.
This was the first time he had walked out of the campus since the fall of the Mansion of Heaven-fighting Marquis.
The steward w.a.n.g Zhong insisted on following him, but he was forced to stay in the Bamboo House.
It was difficult for Lin Beichen to dress up all by himself. If he took a steward with him, his image and features would be so obvious that others would definitely recognize him.
Although he now had the Talent Token, and he was no longer afraid of being pursued by his enemies, his previous nickname “Street-cleaning Tiger” was really well-known. If he was recognized, wherever he went, no one would show up. That would be a little embarra.s.sing.
The reason he came out this time was to collect debts, not to clean the street.
Walking on the street and looking at the people coming and going around and the bright suns.h.i.+ne s.h.i.+ning on the street, Lin Beichen was in a good mood.
Cloudy Dream City was a small town on the coast of the sea.
The streets were square and well-organized. Buildings made of rocks and bricks and wood could be seen everywhere. They were beautiful and strong. They were very different from the ancient buildings Lin Beichen saw on Earth. They were more like a modern town without electricity and Internet.
Lin Beichen saw the sewer, the bus, and the convenience store on his way.
When the martial arts civilization had developed to a certain extent, it was not much worse than the scientific civilization.
When he first arrived here, Lin Beichen wanted to go back to Earth. He took a carriage when he went to and went back from school, so he didn"t take a good look at this small city. Now when he was walking back and forth between the streets, he felt like he had entered the two-dimensional world.
What especially surprised Lin Beichen was that there were a lot of people dressed in strange clothes on the street.
After careful observation, he learned that most of these people were businessmen from outside the ocean or some other countries. Cloudy Dream City was small in size, but it was a small town at sea with ports in the southwest area of Wind-language Province. It was kind of a small transfer station for traffic. It was not surprising that there were foreigners, and the citizens were already used to it.
The entire small city was filled with exotic charm.
Lin Beichen had in total 31 contracts, all of which he got by selling his badges that day, in his hands.
He went to collect debts one by one.
Although he was not familiar with this small city, he only needed to put the name of the contract owner into the Baidu Map, and he would soon be able to find the location, so it could not be any more convenient.
Two hours later, Lin Beichen successfully collected 1,300 gold coins.
The contract of borrowing evidence was not only legal, but also effective in religion, so almost no one dared to turn against him. When Lin Beichen signed the contract, he was more careful and agreed on the specific date of payment. Therefore, there would not be such a vague time limit as “borrowing today and paying back tomorrow”.
It was rare for Lin Beichen to relax, so he just took it as a travel in the ancient town. He strolled through streets and streets and saw all kinds of interesting gadgets. He casually bought some and when he saw all kinds of delicious food, he had to taste them.
He was in a good mood.
When it was almost evening, he entered the door of an inn.
“Happiness Inn?”
What a familiar name!
Lin Beichen couldn"t help smiling.
On Earth, the name “Happiness Inn” was definitely the most popular one in many Wuxia novels and costume dramas. Unexpectedly, he could see it in this world. He felt very familiar with it.
As soon as he entered the inn, a very young waiter immediately came up to him and said, “Sir, please come in. Will you stay for some snacks or for the night?”
Lin Beichen said, “I won"t stay the night.”
“Okay, please come with me.”
The waiter seemed to be only about 11 or 12 years old. If he were on the earth, he would definitely be a child worker. His face was square and his eyes were bright, revealing a sense of agility. He took Lin Beichen to the seat of honor in the “Flower and Bird Hall” and handed over the menu.
As Lin Beichen ordered the dishes, he communicated with the waiter and learned that Happiness Inn was actually the biggest chain inn in Wind-language Province.
Lin Beichen asked casually, “I think you are still very young. Why didn"t you consider going to school?”
The waiter smiled and said, “My family is poor and I can"t afford the tuition fees. My qualifications are also ordinary, so it"s better for me to go out to work early and make some money. In this way, I can support not only my family but also my sister to go to school…”
When he talked about his sister, the waiter"s eyes revealed a kind of pride that was difficult to hide. He said, “You don"t know it, but my sister has the apt.i.tude. She stood out in this preliminary of Talent Battle and entered the main draw.”
Lin Beichen said, “Oh, that"s amazing.”
He was the one who had partic.i.p.ated in the preliminary. Although he was only a Grade Two student, he also knew that the students who could pa.s.s this kind of preliminary were all geniuses without exception.
It was moments later.
A table of sumptuous food had already been served.
They were all specialty dishes recommended by the waiter.
When Lin Beichen was on Earth, he always believed in a saying, “If you want to have real local specialties, you must go to the diners in the streets and alleys. On the contrary, the ingredients of those made by the fancy five-star hotels might be precious and the dishes might be pleasing to the eye, but the taste can"t compare with the those of the small restaurants that have been pa.s.sed down for many years.”
It was the same in this world.
The food at the Happiness Inn was some of the most common dishes. Although they looked ordinary, the aroma of the food was extremely fragrant.
Lin Beichen enjoyed himself to his heart"s content.
It cost him 75 copper coins for a meal.
“So cheap?”
Lin Beichen was a little surprised.
The waiter smiled and said, “The dishes I recommended are all cheap specialties. If you"re satisfied with them, you can frequent our inn in the future. You still haven"t tasted them dishes like Fried Fish with Oyster Sauce, Pickled Suckling Pig Head, and Salted Palpi. Our inn also has a special food delivery service. If you need them, you can arrange the delivery time in advance. We will deliver them on time to you.”
Huh?
“And a take-out service?”
Lin Beichen was greatly surprised.
He did not hesitate to order a few dishes for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He decided on a time to send them to the Bamboo House.
Walking out of the Happiness Inn, he calculated and found that it only cost him less than two silver coins.
The waiter of the shop that employed child workers was really a seller of conscience.
Lin Beichen praised him for a few words. Seeing that it was still some time before nightfall, he relaxed and wandered around the small city.
After finally getting through the initial wretched phase after time-travel, Lin Beichen finally relaxed a little. He was in the mood to appreciate the charm of the alien world.
Before he knew it, more than an hour had pa.s.sed.
Lin Beichen strolled and came to a place similar to the slums.
The difference between wealth and poverty was inevitable in any world or city.
He sighed.
At this time, in an alley in front of him, a sudden sound of fighting rang, and a faint smell of blood spread.
“Hmm?”
Lin Beichen wondered.
