Chapter 32: Bicycles

Zhuang Yun wants his daughter to have a good childhood, but now it was not something he can decide. If he wants to live a good life, he has to work hard.

Then he nodded, his eyes full of determination: “I’ll go, and then get as much as the reward I put in.”

Lu Jiu smiled and said: “Don’t be nervous, the wild monsters you kill on the way will be your reward. If you encounter a boss, we will work together, and we will distribute resources after killing it.”

She and Shen Jufeng mainly want to kill more bosses, they were not short of resources.

“Then we will set off in three days. If you plant trumpet seeds in the future, you can ask An’An to help you harvest them.”

“Or you can ask Shen Junfeng to buy them after An’An harvests them together.” After all, even if they don’t use the trumpet, the selling price was not low.

“No, I know An’An is sensible, so let’s just leave it like that. We will gather at the gate of the city in 3 days at 9 o’clock in the morning.”

Maybe Shen Jufeng needs to collect some speakers, but she doesn’t need one, she hasn’t used one yet.

A’Liu received an email from her parents at home. After the accident in Phantom City, they immediately went to Bliss City, but they had paid half a year’s rent in Phantom City before. The money was wasted when this happened.

A’Liu sneered, she was the one who paid the rent, but they felt distressed.

The whole text of this mail stated that she was a professional player. She will earn money, she should support her parents. The main point was they want to live with her again.

Since the opening of the bounty hall in Xuantian City, some people have formed a temporary team. Some were going to Bliss City. Some people have contacted their relatives, so some news probably spread in Bliss City.

When Brother Wen saw A’Liu with a cold face in the hall, he can’t help but ask: “What’s wrong?”

“It’s my parents. They asked me to pick them up in Bliss City.”

Hearing this, Brother Wen frowned. He had heard about the virtues of A’Liu’s parents. She even left all her money to her parents before they left.

“Then what are you going to do?” He can’t butt in with other people’s housework, he can only ask.

“I don’t want to talk to them. I have already blocked them. I made it clear before I left that I will give them all my money and half of the equipment, but we will be considered strangers in the future.”

Brother Wen snorted: “It seems that they don’t think so. Don’t worry about it, since you blacklisted them. I just came back from the blacksmith shop. There is new equipment in the shop, a bicycle.”

A’Liu was immediately attracted, and quickly asked: “What kind of bicycle is it? Is it like we used to have?”

Everyone knew that the mounts sold in the system mall have a high price. Only rich people could afford it, so they rely on their two legs to go out to fight monsters every day. They were eager to have a means of transportation.

“It’s made of wood, but it’s okay to ride. I think the chain seems to be made of iron, and the speed bonus is +66. Because this additional bonus is not low, the grade belongs to the brown iron level. It can be seen that the city lord has lowered the price, but we will still bleed profusely if we buy it.”

“How much is it?” The big deal was to actively clear the wild in the future. With a bicycle, they can find wild monsters much faster.

“2888 copper coins, the store manager told me that the price should be in silver coins, but considering that no one has silver coins yet, it is converted into copper coins, which is still the price after the city lord lowered the price.”

A’Liu was mentally prepared, but this price could still make people gasp for breath. It was nearly 3,000 copper coins, and not many people in the city could afford it.

Moreover, A’Liu gave all the money to her parents not long ago. She hadn’t saved much yet. Her savings was barely enough for her to pay the rent.

Brother Wen knew that she couldn’t afford it now: “Bicycles are a means of transportation for two people. We can jointly buy one. It’s okay if you don’t have money for the time being. You can pay me later.”

“Thank you, Brother Wen! But are you not going to join the team now?”

When their previous teammate came, they wanted to invite them to form a team again. They even asked Brother Wen to be the captain again, but Brother Wen refused at that time.

“Well, I don’t want to join the team yet, I can just form a temporary team.” In his opinion, being a captain was thankless. It was better to form a temporary team.

“That’s fine, it’s troublesome if there are too many people in that team. I still like simple.” So she didn’t agree to go back.

Before the opening of the bounty hall, she and Brother Wen had always teamed up to clear the wilderness, but now they went to the forest with a temporary team with few people.

Temporary team formation was to prevent emergency cases such as being hacked alone by monsters in the wild. Most of the time, they will fight their monsters and contact them at any time.

“Forming a big team is not suitable for the current world. Under such circumstances, everyone hopes that the resources they gather will not be handed over for redistribution.”

Many teams fight monsters and put resources together and then distribute them. They pretend to take care of all teammates, but this was not appropriate.

Survival now depends on one’s ability, and one can obtain many resources depending on his skill. Forming a team can be used when they live in Phantom City because life was difficult.

But in a place like Xuantian City, it was not applicable.

Many people gathered around the bicycle display stand in the blacksmith shop. The overall structure of the bike was simple, but there was a rear seat. The body was painted beautifully. The customer can choose the color according to their preference when they buy it.

Don’t look at the 2888 copper coins, now the display stand has shown 5/50, indicating that 5 bicycles have already been sold.

“Look at the five local tyrants in our city, they make a quick move.”

“I stayed in Xuantian City for three months and went out to clear the fields every day. There should be no shortage of three thousand copper coins.”

Bai Rou entered the shop and saw many people crowded at a display stand. She went to the front desk and said bluntly: “I want a bicycle, and I want to choose a color.”

The little brother at the front desk replied softly: “Of course, we have these colors now, you can have a look at them.”

Bai Rou immediately chose the pink color. Even the back seat was also made of pink leather, with white satin tied at the end, which looked very cute.

“There are also options for the basket on the front of the bicycle, including 5 grids, 8 grids, and 12 grids. Each grid can store 99 identical items.”

This was the first time Bai Rou heard about such equipment. Each person has a backpack, and their equipment has been placed in the backpack until now.

“Why do you say that? You should know that we all have backpacks.”

“That’s right, but the player’s backpack is not unlimited, you will know this soon.” The little brother at the front desk said with a smile, but what he said made Bai Rou’s heart tremble.

She has always known that the NPC was very intelligent and seems to have its thoughts. Does this little brother at the front desk mean that the game world will be “updated” soon?

That’s right, an update was a common maintenance method in the game, or when a good deal of new equipment will be added.

“What about the price?” Bai Rou didn’t continue to pester and ask the little brother about the limited quantity of the backpack.

A glint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the little brother at the front desk. He seemed very satisfied that she didn’t continue to ask: “The price of 5 grids is 10 copper coins, the price of 8 grids is 13 copper coins, and the price of 12 grids is 18 copper coins.”

It was surprisingly cheap. Bai Rou then said: “I want the 12-grid one.” Anyway, she can afford it.

“Okay, this is what the final product of your bicycle looks like, please take a look.” The little brother at the front desk turned the interface in front of her.
