Chapter 46: Luo Ya City

  On the 20th day after Xiaochun solved the human trafficking case, they finally arrived at the first city of humanity - "Luo Ya City". Luo Ya City is the capital and largest city of the Babai Kingdom. Because it is the closest city to the Magic Beast Forest, it has become a central hub for trade with the Magic Beast Forest on the entire continent.

  Think about it, 90% of the adventurers who go to the Magic Beast Forest on the entire continent have to pass through here. What a huge crowd that is! Merchants with even a little bit of brains all gather here, which brings prosperity to this place and creates a situation where Babari Kingdom, an insignificant kingdom, has a gigantic city that can rival the capitals of other major nations.

  The twenty-meter-high city wall looked very solid, with a thick and heavy black iron gate. A row of soldiers wearing armor stood at the entrance, holding long spears. The crowd was bustling, coming and going in all directions. All this made Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian nostalgic, thinking that their own Tianjing City used to be like this too. The only difference was that the people here had hair and eyes of all colors, which were so dazzling that they constantly reminded them that this was not Tianjing City.

  Taking a deep breath, Xiaoliu Xing patted his eyes, which were welling up with tears, and was clearly thinking of home. "Spring, let's go," he said. Hearing his brother speak, Xiao Chun Tian was also very sensible, and lightly wiped away his tears. "Mm-hmm" he replied, before following Xiaoliu Xing's footsteps towards the city gate.

  Her movements were seen by Xiao Liu Xing, who was only 6 years old and had left her hometown with him. Xiao Liu Xing also knew that this was very cruel for Little Spring, but he couldn't help it. In fact, he himself missed home too, but he endured it without showing it.

  Although it's heartbreaking, he can't do anything now but to improve himself and Xiao Chun Tian's strength. The stronger they are, the longer they'll live, and the greater their chances of going home will be! Survival is hope! Without life, everything is empty talk, so whenever possible, Xiaoliu Xing trains Xiao Chun Tian.

  As they walked to the city gate, just about to enter, a soldier held out his long spear horizontally, blocking their way. He said something that Xiao Liuxing didn't quite understand, but he caught one word: "10 copper coins". From afar, Xiao Liuxing had seen people throwing money into a box at the city gate when they entered or exited. The soldier was probably asking them to do the same. Since there were no children alone passing through the gate earlier, Xiao Liuxing didn't know that kids also had to pay. He reached into his pocket and pulled out 1 silver coin.

  Put it in the box on the side. Sure enough, the soldier put away his long spear and let them go in. Now the smallest unit of currency in Xiaoliu Xing's ring is silver coins, which were exchanged from the boss in Meisha Town, so they had to be cheap for them. It was also because of the matter in Meisha Town that Xiaoliu Xing didn't want to trouble, so he prepared some money in his pocket, lest it cause more trouble later.

  Xiao Liuxing wasn't afraid of trouble, but unless absolutely necessary, he still didn't want to become the focus of others. Last time, he had seriously underestimated the temptation of the space ring and also underestimated the greed of the people there.

  As they passed through the city gate, Xiao Liuxing and Xiao Chun Tian's field of vision suddenly opened up. There were so many people, it was so lively! All sorts of shops lined the streets, all sorts of people came and went, some buying things, some watching the commotion, some strolling around, some hurrying to their destinations... All sorts of people, all sorts of sounds bombarded Xiao Liuxing and Xiao Chun Tian's senses. At first they thought Meisha Town was already very lively, but now it seemed they were wrong, and seriously so!

  Just now I was still a little nostalgic for the small spring of my hometown, but this hot scene has attracted me. Especially when I saw a group of girls wearing bright clothes, each with a cute low-level magic beast strolling on the street, my eyes widened in surprise, and Xiaoliu couldn't help but sigh that no matter what kind of girl, they all like this kind of atmosphere.

  He's completely immune to pretty and cute things. The last time in Meisha Town, he bought something, and Xiaochun Tian finished it on the road, then lost interest, putting everything in his carefree ring. But since Xiaochun Tian likes it, Xiaoliuxing won't be stingy, after all, she's just a little sister, who else would he spoil? So Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochun Tian's first thing to do after entering the city wasn't finding a place to stay, but finding a place to buy pets.

  After searching for about half an hour, they finally found one. The characters on the sign were unfamiliar to both of them, but they saw that there were many magical beasts inside, so they went in. The shop was about 40 square meters, which was relatively large compared to what Little Starseeker had seen during his search.

  On the left side of this store, there are some level 1 and 2 magical beasts that don't have any attack power. They look very cute. There is a girl around 12 years old who also looks very cute, hesitantly choosing a magical beast with a middle-aged man accompanying her. These two people are dressed luxuriously, you can tell at a glance that they are wealthy. On the right side, there are some larger magical beasts. Little Star took a look and basically, they were all level 4 and 5.

  On the necks of these magical beasts, there is a collar with a magic array drawn on it. Xiaofei guessed that it was a tool to seal their strength. Two 17- or 18-year-old boys were carefully looking at one of them. Next to them was a very young shop assistant who kept talking to them. Inside the store, there was also a shelf with eggs the size of dinosaur eggs in five colors. A middle-aged man sat leisurely behind the counter next to the shelf, probably the owner of this place.

  When Xiaoliuzi and Xiaochuntian came in, everyone looked at them except for the middle-aged man and the boss. The others went back to what they were doing. The middle-aged man and the boss looked at Xiaoliuzi several times. They were surprised by Xiaoliuzi's calm eyes, which seemed to be unaffected by anything. Their calmness made them feel a chill in their hearts, wondering how someone could be so unflappable. However, they only felt surprised and didn't think deeply about it, after all, it was none of their business.

  Xiaochun Tian and the little girl chose those pet-like magical beasts together, and Xiao Liuxing stood behind her. There were more than 20 varieties on the left side. Xiaochun Tian quickly made his choice, a magical beast that looked similar to a rabbit from his original world, except it had four ears and red fur.

  In the small spring day, after looking good, Xiao Liuxing didn't say anything and pointed to the middle-aged man sitting there, pointing to the demon beast that Xiao Chun Tian had looked at. The boss was also straightforward and directly said to Xiao Liuxing: "30 silver coins". One copper coin is equivalent to one yuan now, 1 silver coin = 100 copper coins, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins.

  30 silver coins are worth over 3000 yuan, buying a pet is definitely expensive. The boss also has sharp eyes and saw that Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochuntian didn't care about money at all, nor did they know the market price, so he intentionally quoted such a high price. Normally, this pet would cost at most 10 silver coins. Thirty silver coins are not a problem for those who have it, and even Xiaoliuxing thinks it's too cheap.

  That middle-aged man heard the boss say three silver coins, his expression stunned, he clearly knew that the boss had cheated Xiao Liu, and was about to tell the boss to be kind, but seeing Xiao Liu throw the money away with a flourish, he didn't bother to speak, others don't care about this little bit of money, why should he be so talkative.

  The pet has been bought, and Little Spring is holding it while walking and stroking its fur, constantly talking to it. The little girl's cuteness is now fully revealed. Looking at Little Spring's innocent appearance, Little Meteor feels a bit better in his heart. He pats her head, and Little Spring smiles at him. "Spring, let's find a place to stay first, then we can go for a stroll," Little Meteor says to Little Spring. "Okay," Little Spring happily replies.

  Don't look at the small shooting stars, they searched for a place to buy pets for half an hour. When they looked for a place to live, they quickly found one right next to the pet store. Xiaoliuxing saw several houses and casually chose one nearby to move in. The landlord thought it was strange that two young children like Xiaoliuxing and Xiaochuntian were living alone, but when Xiaoliuxing directly took out ten gold coins and put them in front of him...

  He didn't say another word and had his partner take them to the best room in their tavern, of course along with the "best wine" that Little Liuxing had mentioned. In such a large place, Little Liuxing now wanted to taste the good wine here and see what flavor it had. Having already decided to brew wine, Little Liuxing wanted to taste other wines and draw inspiration from them.

  Eating the specialty dish brought by the boss, drinking their good wine, to be honest, although this wine costs 100 gold coins per small bottle, but the taste is really not bad, although it's not as good as the wine saved by Master Xiangyang, but it's much better than the best wine he drank in Meisha Town, lacking a bit of spiciness, but still very mellow, and this mellowness has a hint of sweetness, with a lot of aftertaste.

  Xiao Liuxing, who was used to drinking strong liquor, wasn't interested in this wine, but Xiao Chuntian liked it very much and asked Xiao Liuxing to buy more. Being with Xiao Liuxing all the time, Xiao Chuntian also picked up the habit of drinking, and now that she's in her prime, she's not afraid of getting drunk at all. She just doesn't like the spicy flavor, so she rarely drinks. Now that she had found something that suited her taste, she couldn't let it go.

  For Little Spring's request, Xiao Liu Xing naturally wouldn't refuse, directly calling the boss over and tossing him 10,000 gold coins, then pointing to the empty wine bottle that had almost been drunk dry by Little Spring. Looking at this pile of gold coins on the table, the boss's eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to snatch it immediately, but he still endured. A kid who could take out so much money at once must have a big background, and as a boss, his status in this city was rather low.

  And the water in this city is deep, if you're not careful, you might die without a complete corpse. So the boss, although he was facing two children, did not rush forward impulsively. Of course, when there's an opportunity to make money, he won't give it up either. He told Little Streamer to wait for a moment, and then, regardless of whether he understood or not, he rushed out.

  About three minutes later, he came in again, and as he entered, he was carrying a large box. Thirty-four bottles of the same wine that he wanted to buy for himself. Before the boss came in, Xiaoliu Xing had already used his divine sense to check what was inside the box. It seemed that the boss only had this much wine left.

  Bring the box in and casually close the door. The boss then opened the box with a flattering expression, and let Xiaoliuzi check it out. Xiaoliuzi didn't need to look at anything else, directly letting Xiaochuntian put everything into the storage ring, leaving 3400 gold coins behind, and taking everything else away.

  When he saw that Little Meteor and Little Spring had storage rings, the boss's eyes didn't even flicker. But when he saw the pile of gold coins on the table, he guessed it. Storage rings are not uncommon in this world, especially 10-cubic ones. Almost every household with some money has one, and the boss himself has one too. So he wasn't surprised that Little Meteor had one either. It was only because Little Meteor used his divine sense to see that many people around him also had such storage rings that he felt safe exposing it.

  Recommend, collect, thank you...
