Chapter 248: Remarks that Lead Children astray
"Very good. I am very satisfied with your work attitude today."
Gu Sanqiu stopped sharpening the knife, and then gave each of them some Mora as a reward for their long work.
"As for whether you would like to trouble me later, or simply ask for help, I would be more than happy to do so."
Gu Sanqiu smiled with murderous intent: "However, after this, there may be a few more nameless corpses in the White Fox Wilderness, or they may be cooked by monsters."
"Yes... yes, we understand."
Seeing the few people fleeing in panic, Gu Sanqiu shook his head in boredom. It seemed that either they were marginal figures in the gang, or the entire gang was not up to par.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that monsters will not eat humans. Monsters only eat foods with particularly high nutritional value that they make, and they even have their own culture of using medicine.
If I remember correctly, the medicine that Diona used to sober up her father was some kind of good thing that could strengthen the body and even improve strength. Sobering up was just a side effect.
The huge iron pot, the fire slime used as a liquefied gas stove, and even the crude weapons in the hands of the hillbillies may seem to ordinary people to represent that the overall cultural level of the monsters is very low.
But adventurers don't think so. According to the introduction given by the academic community and the Adventurer's Association, this is just a representation of the living habits of monsters. They have their own unique cultural system.
Moreover, there is an even more outrageous type of adventurer. They will stare at the health-strengthening soup and paste made by the hill people, and then form a team to rob them...
Although the success rate is not very high, and sometimes they will even be killed by thugs and abyss mages, these guys just enjoy doing it.
The reason is that most of the people in the team are rich young men, and they are intellectuals who have made academic achievements or have missions.
In their eyes, robbing those things was not purely for profit, but more for exploring the cultural system of the Qiuqiu people.
This kind of reason basically happens to scholars in Xumi. For the sake of their research topics and papers, many people are willing to pay high prices for them, and they are also big customers in the eyes of many adventurers.
However, the Hilichurls of Inazuma can be considered a special feature. Legend has it that the Hilichurls and the raccoon monsters in the Guardian Forest live in peace with each other. I don't know if I can get the same treatment if I go there.
Hanamizaka, a place where there is nothing strange and it is even a little too mediocre.
Compared to the inner city, this is at most an urban village, but from Gu Sanqiu's perspective, even the inner city is not that prosperous.
That sentence describes Inazuma Castle very well. No matter what time, Inazuma Castle is always stubborn and exudes vitality.
The "stubborn" vitality describes the state of war. Inazuma Castle under the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order can actually be regarded as a microcosm of many places.
However, compared to places like Yamojima Island and Takanashi Sand, Inazuma Castle can indeed be considered "prosperous".
Early the next morning, Gu Sanqiu went out hunting, feeling refreshed and ready to get some ingredients for breakfast.
As for the breakfast shop, I am too lazy to go there to taste Inazuma's special food. It is also nice to go to the wild to see the natural scenery.
call out--
Gu Sanqiu hit a forest pig with one arrow . The huge force caused the tail of the forest pig to keep shaking after the arrow penetrated into its body. It was unknown whether it would damage the meat.
The bow and arrow in his hand was bought from Tianmu Blacksmith Shop. It felt pretty good, the only drawback was that it was a little expensive.
But there is no way around it. Lao Zhang’s blacksmith shop is almost the same, but at least the quality is guaranteed.
It would be a disaster for your wallet if you come across those blacksmiths who are just famous for nothing, charge extremely high prices but produce rubbish.
Oh, strictly speaking, if you go out with that kind of weapon, it's a life-threatening disaster.
After returning to his residence, even though the new resident brought back a large forest pig, no one came to greet him. Gu Sanqiu didn't want to organize the so-called new neighbor gift-giving event.
I am just a warrior who wants to find a place to rest. I definitely don't know much about the ways of the world. Relying on this identity can help me avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
"Morning, Lord Long Hai."
"morning."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Jing Liang, who had dark circles under his eyes. "If you keep going like this, let alone whether your body will be strong, it will be a blessing for you to live to fifty."
It seems that no matter where you are, temporary workers are destined to be exploited.
But it seems that many people are destined to be exploited all their lives. If you really dig deeper, you will probably look up and curse "this damn life."
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. We're all trying to make a living."
Jing Liang said with a gentle smile: "I am very grateful for my current life. At least the salary is not bad."
"Well, according to the normal level of vitality, one can work like this until about 60 years old, which is also about the retirement age ."
…
Jing Liang sighed and put Gu Sanqiu's ID aside.
"Well, I don't know how to respond to your words."
"You mean that after being exploited like this, the so-called retirement age is the age when the person is no longer useful, and they are only given a small pension to live out the rest of their lives. Is that correct?"
"No, if you have offspring, your wallet and mental energy will be squeezed by your offspring's offspring."
Jing Liang sighed again: "Okay, but I still want to remind you that it's best not to say this kind of thing outside. If someone from the Tianling Bugyo hears it, you'll get into trouble."
"The fact that you can understand proves that you are mentally prepared."
"Of course, everyone is trying to make a living. Even with such tiring work, many people have no way to get in and their lives are exploited."
Jing Liang smiled and said, "Although the forms are different, everyone is being exploited, and then they fight for a better future for themselves while sacrificing their vitality. That's right, isn't it?"
"Very clever."
Gu Sanqiu pointed to the person opposite him and said, "Sit down and eat something before you leave. If you are asked, just say that I consulted you about something. You are in charge of this matter, and your uncle must have helped you, right?"
"Your Excellency has a keen eye."
Jing Liang didn't hesitate and immediately sat down opposite Gu Sanqiu, picked up a piece of barbecue with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The slightly burnt meat, paired with some herbal seasonings prepared by Gu Sanqiu, did not feel greasy at all even in the early morning. Instead, the sour taste and oily aroma deliberately retained from the herbs stimulated the appetite.
"I didn't expect that besides fighting, your cooking skills are also so good."
"Being away from home for many years, some things are acquired through practice. It's not that I like to do it, but I have to do it. There is still a difference."
