Chapter 2530 Give me some bribes and I'll take you to meet him! How about it?
The next morning, Lin Qi walked out of the house and found Ling Tian still sitting on the sofa, having not slept a wink all night.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qi was slightly stunned, then walked over and said softly: "Brother, haven't you had a rest?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian shook his head: "No, after all, this is the first night, so we have to be careful. Besides, not sleeping all night won't have a big impact. How about you? Did you get enough rest?"
"I've had a good rest." Lin Qi smiled and sat next to Ling Tian: "Brother, I'm going out to look for a job today and learn about the situation. But you..."
"I have my own plans, so don't worry about me. Just do your own thing. I have my own plans for the rest."
"understand!"
From the beginning to the end, Lin Qi never asked too many questions about Ling Tian's actions at times.
Whether he was in the county town or when he first arrived in Weicheng, he was able to make a good plan every time, and then come up with various countermeasures to achieve his goals.
So this time, he still chose to believe Ling Tian.
He got up and left. After packing up briefly, he said goodbye to Ling Tian, left the house, and went to look for a job and search for intelligence.
On the other hand, after seeing Lin Qi leave, Ling Tian just rested in the house for an hour, then walked out of the room and his eyes fell on several people on the street where they were.
There weren't many people on the street at this time, and they were probably just ordinary people living in this slum with them.
After all, almost all the useful warriors have left Licheng to prepare resources for the monsters, and these ordinary humans can only stay in the slums and survive.
Just as Ling Tian was pondering, a man who looked to be around thirty years old walked over, looked at Ling Tian, and then said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't seen you before. A stranger. What's up? Are you new to this area?"
Hearing someone chatting him up, Ling Tian smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, I just arrived yesterday, and they had to persuade me to stay here. Hey, if I hadn't found this place, I don't know where I would have spent the night last night."
Ling Tian said as he sat down on the side of the road. The man smiled, then sat down and held out his hand. "My name is Si Hai. What's yours?"
"Ling Tian."
After the two people introduced themselves to each other, shook hands, and became friends.
Friendship between men is so simple and direct.
Especially in this slum, everyone is thinking about how to survive, and no one will stop to chat with you, so Ling Tian guessed that the person in front of him was either from a relatively good place in this area, or... had other purposes.
Of course, Ling Tian didn't care what Sihai was thinking. An ordinary person couldn't pose a threat to him anyway. He might as well take this opportunity to understand the situation in Licheng and collect more information for his next move.
Si Hai, sitting next to Ling Tian, looked up, then at the people around him rushing forward, and snorted coldly, "These people really have no skills. They are exploited by monsters every day, and yet they act so relaxed. Pah! A bunch of cowards!"
Ok?
After saying this, Ling Tian looked at Si Hai with interest and said with a smile, "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with the monsters?"
"Of course!" Si Hai said hurriedly, "Brother, you may not know that monsters often appear in our area. Every time, these people wish the monsters could eat them, as if it were a sacred thing. But in my opinion, this is cowardly behavior!"
After Si Hai finished speaking, he noticed Ling Tian staring at him, so he smiled and said, "Brother, you're not going to push me out, are you? We've already shaken hands, and we're good brothers from now on, so you can't push me into the fire pit, right?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian shook his head: "No, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. I just want to survive and then go to the city center to take a look."
After he finished speaking, Sihai suddenly became quiet. After about a minute, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His laughter was full of mockery, as if what Ling Tian said was some huge joke, which made Si Hai laugh so hard that he couldn't help coughing.
Ling Tian's eyes flashed with confusion at Si Hai's reaction, and he asked doubtfully, "Brother, why are you reacting like that? Is it possible that we can't go downtown?"
"Of course you can go!" Si Hai nodded with a smile. "But how will you get there? Do you know that the city center is the territory of warriors and monsters? If you get there, within ten minutes, you will become food for those powerful monsters. Why would you go?"
Si Hai wiped away the tears that flowed from laughing too much, then looked at Ling Tian and said, "That's not right, little brother. What you said is as if you were not in Licheng before. Could it be that you came from outside the city?"
In response, Ling Tian just remained silent and looked at Si Hai quietly.
Si Hai seemed to notice that there was something wrong with what he said, so he hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand me, brother. I'm just curious. How many crystals did you give to enter Licheng? Don't worry, we all used crystals to get in just like you, so we can only stay here."
Sihai chuckled, then looked at Lingtian curiously, waiting for his answer.
However, it was Sihai's seemingly casual answer that made Ling Tian feel something was wrong.
Logically speaking, the entire Licheng should be the world of warriors and monsters.
But from yesterday to now, at least in the area where Ling Tian is, there are relatively many low-level monsters and ordinary humans.
Originally, he thought that these people had existed since the early days of Licheng's construction, but after hearing what Sihai said, Ling Tian discovered that these people seemed to come from other places. Could it be that they were all like Yuzhe, existing in those small villages near Licheng?
Ling Tian frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he finally looked at Si Hai and said, "A top-grade crystal stone. That's all I had on me at the time, so..."
"Ah? Top-grade crystals?!" Si Hai was shocked when he heard this. "Brother, where did you find these top-grade crystals? You've obviously been ripped off! Anyone with top-grade crystals can get a house in the city center. You're... not right, are you?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Is there such a saying?"
"Of course! We all took out three low-grade crystals to enter the city, and you..."
Si Hai shook his head, then patted Ling Tian on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I guess you've been tricked. How about this, if you trust me, I'll take you to see Captain Qi, and then... let him arrange some better accommodations for you. How about that?"
"Do you know Captain Qi?" Ling Tian asked curiously.
"Of course!" Si Hai chuckled, "He's my brother-in-law! But... it's still a little difficult to meet him, so you might need to... give him a little bribe~"
"How many?"
"It's not much. Three mid-grade crystals, and I'll take you to see Captain Qi. How about that? Isn't it... a good deal?"
