1078 The Richest Man in the Nine Gods District (1)
Sheng Xiao had just practiced his sword for a while when the others got up.
The hotel only took care of acmodation, so they had to cook themselves.
But buying groceries cost money.
And they didn’t have much money.
!!
Yu Huang, who had always been a foodie, also decided to abstain from eating.
However, they could abstain from eating, but as a Purifying Spirit Master, Lin Jiansheng, and Ah Kong had to eat, especially Ah Kong, who was still growing. Yu Huang took out another Spirit Stone and gave it to Mr. Di to buy food for Lin Jiansheng and Ah Kong.
Di Wu also needed to eat, so it was fine to add two sets of cutlery.
“Alright, our family will have breakfast at 7: 30 AM. Lunchtime is 12: 30 PM, and dinner is 6: 30 PM.” Di Wu glanced at Lin Jiansheng and said, “You have to bring the child to eat on time. If you’re late, we won’t wait.”
Lin Jiansheng couldn’t stand Di Wu’s attitude. He was chewing on a steamed bun in his left hand and feeding Ah Kong a bowl of fresh milk in his right as he asked Di Wu, “Boss, how old are you this year? Do you know how old I am? I’m almost 200 years old. As the saying goes, respect the old and dote on the young. You have to treat me with more respect.”
God Ling Xiao, who was respected on the Holy Spirit Continent, had to suffer the disdain of an ordinary tavern owner when he came to the alternate world. This difference was indeed huge.
Before the owner could speak, Sheng Xiao put away his sword and said to Lin Jiansheng while standing in the courtyard, “The owner’s surname is Di. His name is Di Wu. Mentor, you can call him Mr. Di from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng suddenly fell silent.
Lin Jiansheng stared at the beard on the tavern owner’s face as he said thoughtfully, “Your surname is actually Di.”
Di Wu placed one bun on each plate and poured a bowl of milk to send to Naris. Upon hearing Lin Jiansheng’s words, Di Wu said without raising his head, “Many people on this street have the surname Di.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng was even more surprised. “Is that so? I thought Di was a very rare surname.”
Di Wu picked up his plate and walked out of the kitchen. As he walked, he said, “In the Central Continent, residents with the surname Di are all people with low status.”
With that said, Di Wu disappeared from Lin Jiansheng’s eyes.
After he left, Lin Jiansheng looked at Sheng Xiao again.
As Sheng Xiao was wiping the Dragon Sword, he sensed Lin Jiansheng’s gaze and looked up at Lin Jiansheng, but didn’t say anything. He stood up and walked out.
Yu Huang opened the door and walked out. Seeing that Sheng Xiao was about to go out, she asked him, “Where are you going?”
Sheng Xiao said, “To ask about the school.”
“Let’s go together.”
“Okay.”
In the morning, Central Continent’s temperature was higher than at night and about zero degrees.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were both wearing middle-collared shirts and black coats. They looked like a couple. As soon as they walked out of the tavern, they saw a crowd on the street. It was pletely different from the cold and desolate night before.
There were at least three to four hundred people standing on the street in front of them.
They were all wearing black down jackets, masks, and mine lights. They drove a motorcycle that looked like a three-wheeled motorcycle, but the person on the motorcycle wasn’t a person, but a kind of crystal clear stone.
Di Wu suddenly appeared behind them. He was wiping the wine glass in his hand as he said to them, “The people on Five Lakes Street all mine for a living.”
“What sort of mine is that?” Yu Huang stared at the transparent ore that was the size of a motorcycle curiously.
Di Wu said, “It’s a crystal mine, a kind of fuel mine. It’s more durable and environmentally friendly than a coal mine. This kind of ore won’t produce carcinogens after burning. One ore is worth a hundred coal mines.” After a pause, Di Wu continued, “This kind of ore will be transported to other sections for pharmaceuticals and weapon refiners to use. They will need this kind of ore when refining pills and spirit weapons.”
Upon hearing Di Wu’s explanation, Yu Huang had a more accurate understanding of Five Lake Street.
The people living on this street were all miners.
Which type of people would skip work?
Their families were poor, and they couldn’t find other jobs, so they could only do this to earn a living.
No wonder the hotel on Five Lake Street was the cheapest hotel in the entire Central Continent.
“Where are you guys going?” As Di Wu looked at the red longbow on Yu Huang’s back and the Dragon Sword in Sheng Xiao’s hand, he thought about it and said, “Are you going to participate in the Beast Tamer High School Challenge?”
