Beiyin Great Sage

Inner city gate.

The guard stretched out his hand:

"One hundred yuan."

"Isn't it always fifty yuan?" Zhou Jia, who was about to take the money, was stunned and stopped.

"The money has gone up." The guard shook his head:

"There have been a lot of people entering the city recently. In order to avoid causing chaos in the inner city, the entrance fee has been doubled. Do you want to go in?"

"Come in!" Zhou Jia sighed softly, endured the pain in his body, took out another fifty coins, and entered the inner city.

Compared with before, the flow of people in the inner city is obviously much greater, the number of patrols has also increased, and the peace of the past has disappeared.

Arriving at the house, Situ Lei had already tidied up.

The purple robe is meticulous, the python leather boots under her feet are not stained by dust, and even the messy hair in the past has been carefully taken care of.

The whole person looks much younger.

Zhou Jia was stunned, not because he was surprised by his dress, but because he looked at his legs:

"Your leg……"

"Change it." Situ Lei chuckled upon hearing this, rolled up his left trouser leg, revealing the metal machinery underneath, and reached out to knock on it.

‘Dang-dang’ sound.

"The alloy legs cost me 500 Origin Stones. They are products from a mechanical world. In terms of hardness, they are even better than my original legs."

"Unfortunately, it's not very flexible."

Mechanical world?

Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

As the end of all worlds in the Ruins Realm, it is normal for a mechanical world to appear. I heard that there is a mechanical cannon inside Huojiabao, which is astonishingly powerful.

"Five hundred source stones." He chuckled softly and said:

"It seems you have plenty of money."

"This money not only belongs to me, but also to Aaron and the three of them. Unfortunately, it was easier for me in the end." Situ Lei shook his head and didn't want to talk more:

"Don't you want to see Timon's inheritance? Let's go."

"Yeah." Zhou Jia should be:

"What's going on over there?"

"After Dingmen died, everything was left to his two sons. They discussed it and decided to sell the inheritance in exchange for the Origin Stone and then divide it equally." Situ Lei explained:

"In the past few years, the giant sword Dingmen has followed the Huo family's hunting team to the Cloud Burial Forest many times and left behind many good things. We will sell them together this time."

"Everyone who knows the news will probably go there. If you want to buy something, you'd better prepare the source stone. The price... won't be cheap."

"I got it." Zhou Jia's expression condensed.

As long as he could get that giant sword, he would be willing to sell it.

"That's right." Situ Lei pondered for a moment and asked:

"Has something happened outside recently? Many people have entered the inner city in the past few days, and there have even been riots at night."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded:

"The barony area was occupied by monsters, and many people escaped. It's just the beginning, and there will be more and more people in the future."

"Barony!" Situ Lei's face turned a little ugly. It was obvious that he knew this place:

"In other words, the prices of weapons, medicines, and food will increase a lot over time, so we need to prepare them in advance."

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows slightly.

He really hadn't thought about this.

As expected of someone who has lived in this world for more than ten years, he is much more sensitive to danger than he is. After all, he has not been here long and has not yet fully adapted to this world.

"The price of food has not increased yet." Zhou Jia squinted:

"When I go back, I'll stock up on some. It would be great if I could stay in the inner city."

In the outer city, chaos has begun.

"It's not that easy to enter the inner city." Situ Lei shook his head and said half-happyly:

"People from the outer city are not allowed to stay overnight in the inner city. This is a rule. If someone takes in residents from the outer city without permission, once discovered, their home will be confiscated and driven out of the inner city, so no one will take this risk."

"Well……"

"There is a way."

"What can I do?" Zhou Jia's eyes lit up.

"Stay at the inn." Situ Lei looked sideways:

"Qingfeng Residence is the Huo family's own business. Drunk guests can stay overnight, even people from out of town. But the accommodation fee is not cheap."

"Really?" Zhou Jia said thoughtfully.

The so-called escape from the city in case of small disasters, if there is really chaos outside, temporarily living in a restaurant in the inner city for a period of time is also a solution.

After all, money is not as important as life.

…………

Compared with Situ Lei's small courtyard, Ding's house is considered a big house.

There is a yard with two entrances, and an acre of garden on the south side. The garden is full of things for people to choose and negotiate.

In the yard, people were coming and going.

"Are all the things here from the Ding family?" Looking at the stalls filled with goods, Zhou Jia had a strange expression.

"Probably not." Situ Lei shook his head:

"It depends on the situation. After the news about the Ding family spread, some people also wanted to sell their own things, so they teamed up to sell them together."

"Here!"

He gestured not far away:

"That is the second master of the Ding family, Ding Wenshan. Despite his young age, his cultivation level is probably higher than yours."

Zhou Jia looked over following the sound and saw a thin young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who looked smart.

He is higher than himself, not to mention the sixth grade, but the fifth grade.

Being of fifth grade at a young age is naturally rare in the outer city, but as long as the family has a big business in the inner city, it can be piled up with a pile of treasures and medicines.

"Second Master."

Situ Lei smiled and came closer and held his hands:

"We meet again, stay safe!"

"Brother Situ." Ding Wenshan also knew Situ Lei and said with a smile:

"If there's anything you like, the price is easy to talk about."

"Indeed." Situ Lei sighed:

"It's a pity that all the Source Stones in my pocket were spent on this leg. I didn't even have to replace my arm. This time I came here to open my eyes."

As he said this, he quoted Zhou Jia:

"This is a friend of mine, surnamed Zhou. I heard that Mr. Er has a market here, so he came over to have a look."

"Brother Zhou." Ding Wenshan quickly glanced at Zhou Jia with his triangular eyes, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

"Just take a look. With my relationship with Brother Situ, the price is easy to negotiate."

As a 'second generation' living in the inner city, Ding Wenshan, among other things, was very familiar with the prices of various things.

Zhou Jia's body was covered with only a shield that could barely reach his eyes. There was almost nothing valuable, so it was obviously not his target.

"Second Master." Zhou Jia cupped his hands and said:

"I'm very interested in senior Ding's stuff. I wonder if I can open my eyes?"

"My father's things." Ding Wenshan frowned:

"My father's relics will be sold in two days. When everyone comes, I will hold a small auction with my brother."

"..." Zhou Jia suddenly realized.

No wonder the things here are not rare. It turns out that if everyone gathers and the auction can drive up the price, this family does know how to do business.

"Second Master."

He pondered for a moment and said:

"I'm really sincere. Can you take a look at the item first? I can tell you the price."

"Oh!" Ding Wenshan raised his eyebrows:

"Those things are not cheap."

The implication is naturally that he is questioning Zhou Jia's financial resources.

Zhou Jia took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't be weak at this time, and said in a low voice: "We can talk about anything within 200 Origin Stones."

"Two hundred source stones!" Ding Wen heard a movement on the mountain.

Even Situ Lei was surprised. He knew that Zhou Jia's original hundred source stones had almost been spent.

These two hundred source stones...

Where did it come from?

Zhou Jia winked at him and whispered:

"Take a look, you may not really buy it."

Ah!

Situ Lei understood clearly that he was pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. In his opinion, Zhou Jia definitely didn't have 200 Origin Stones in his body, and even twenty would be enough.

"It turns out that Brother Zhou is a wealthy businessman!" Ding Wenshan didn't know whether it was true or not, and laughed loudly when he heard this:

"Come, I will take you two to the inner courtyard."
