Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 20 Visiting the Fei Family
In the bloody rain world, Xu Jingming was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the house, practicing the mind-refining method.
Being employed by Master Chang Yi, he has a very leisurely time most of the time, and the most suitable thing for him to do is to practice the mind-refining method.
"Mr. Jing." A voice came from outside.
Xu Jingming opened his eyes, got up from the bed and opened the door. There was a maid outside the door. The maid reported: "Mr. Jing, the housekeeper of the Fei family in Lanyue City came to visit you and is waiting in the front hall."
…
In the front hall, the butler Zhang Bo was sitting there, with several of his men standing behind him.
Miss Qingyu is entertaining.
Xu Jingming walked into the front hall and saw the butler Zhang Bo sitting there. He felt a little confused because he didn't know this Zhang Bo at all.
Zhang Bo stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing! You may not know me. I am an old servant of the Fei family. My last name is Zhang."
"The Fei family is a top family in the entire Lanyue City, much stronger than our Chang family." Miss Qingyu said, "Mr. Jing, this is the housekeeper Zhang of the Fei family."
Xu Jingming understood and immediately bowed and said, "Jingming greets Steward Zhang. Steward Zhang, what is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"
Zhang Bo smiled and said, "A month ago, in that street battle, Mr. Jing, the three of you defeated hundreds of elite members of the Fenghu Hall of the Huayue Gang. I happened to see it from a distance and I admire your marksmanship. So I want to invite Mr. Jing to be the guard of my Fei family and escort my Fei family to the imperial capital."
"The imperial capital?" Xu Jingming was shocked.
The Blood Rain World is a huge virtual world! In the entire universe human alliance, it is a virtual world that ranks at the forefront of importance.
The Imperial Capital is the core of the Blood Rain World! But at the same time, there are many experts there! A second-rate expert like him can be considered an expert in Lanyue City, but in the Imperial Capital... he is really ordinary and not worth mentioning.
"If Mr. Jing is willing, you can go to the Fei family in two months." Zhang Bo said.
Xu Jingming felt relieved.
Two months later, that would be past the deadline agreed with Chang Yi! What a coincidence.
"As for the hiring price." Zhang Bo smiled and said, "Because the journey to the imperial capital is long and dangerous, we are willing to pay 35 taels of silver a month! And after arriving in the imperial capital, if the cooperation is pleasant, we can also hire Mr. Jing as the guard of my Fei family for a long time in the future."
"35 taels?" Xu Jingming exclaimed, "Butler Zhang is very generous."
It is a very high salary. Normally, the cost of hiring a second-rate expert is about 15 taels of silver, which is also the market price.
The hiring price for a third-rate expert is about three taels of silver per month.
As for ordinary thugs, hiring one would only cost two or three hundred coins a month. In fact, gold and silver were expensive in the Blood Rain World, so knife coins were the main currency used.
"Mr. Jing, are you willing?" asked Zhang Bo.
"Can you give me two days to think about it, and I'll come to visit you in two days." Xu Jingming said, he was willing to do so, because he was very curious about the core of the entire Blood Rain World, the 'Imperial Capital'. But such a thing still needed to be discussed with Pang Ze.
"Okay." Zhang Bo stood up and said with a smile, "Then I will wait for your news, Mr. Jing."
Zhang Bo then took his men away.
Miss Qingyu couldn't help but sigh: "The Fei family has been selling off their property recently, but no one in the entire Lanyue City dares to lower the price! Unlike my young master, it's so troublesome to sell a restaurant and a rice shop. Mr. Jing, it's actually very good to be able to go to the imperial capital. I suggest you agree."
"Thank you, Miss Qingyu." Xu Jingming nodded.
…
Virtual world, personal space.
In the cabin hall of the spaceship, Xu Jingming and Pang Ze met.
"From what you said, it has been quite easy in the Blood Rain World over the past month." Pang Ze said with a smile.
"What do you think, should I go to the imperial capital?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Go, of course I have to go."
Pang Ze said, "Blood Rain World is a virtual world with a very high threshold. One needs 100,000 universe coins to enter! And behind it are some of the top forces of the entire universe human alliance. So the core of Blood Rain World, 'Imperial Capital', is really full of masters! There are many universe citizen players there alone, and there are also a large number of indigenous masters."
"The indigenous masters hold power and have a large number of subordinates. Although the death of the cosmic citizen players is very costly, they can continue to enter, so the 'water' in the imperial capital is very turbid. It is not easy to gain a foothold in the imperial capital and stay there." Pang Ze said, "Even the housing is hundreds of times more expensive than a house in Lanyue City."
"A hundred times?" Xu Jingming was shocked.
"It's not easy to live in the Imperial Capital." Pang Ze said, "The Fei family you mentioned must have some background since they dared to hire a group of people to go to the Imperial Capital. With the help of the Fei family, you can gain a foothold in the Imperial Capital first. The Imperial Capital is a place where countless wealth from the entire Blood Rain World is gathered. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can make a lot of money in one go."
"The circles are different." Pang Ze said, "The royal families, princes, and dignitaries in the imperial capital have a lot of gold and silver! The wealthy businessmen there are the top wealthy businessmen in the entire Blood Rain World! If you want to make gold and silver, you still have to go to the imperial capital. Of course, it is also difficult. Second-rate masters are inconspicuous in the imperial capital. Seventh-level star life and even eighth-level star life, when they enter the Blood Rain World, usually go directly to the imperial capital!"
Xu Jingming nodded after hearing this.
"You are a novice. My original plan was to let you get familiar with the small city first, and then let you go to the big city. You have a chance this time, so take the opportunity to go. First gain a foothold in the imperial capital, and then look for opportunities to make money." Pang Ze said, "Earn 10,000 gold and enter that mysterious place!"
…
Two days later.
Xu Jingming personally went to the Fei family to pay a visit, but Master Chang Yi did not send anyone to follow him! Because most of the secrets that Xu Jingming and the other three knew were already known in Lanyue City. Even the secret of the "assassination" was known to the Huayue Gang.
"Mr. Jing." Zhang Bo personally greeted him warmly.
"Butler Zhang, you can just call me Jingming." Xu Jingming said.
"Jingming." Zhang Bo asked with a smile, "Are you willing to escort my Fei family to the imperial capital?"
"Of course I'd like to go to the imperial capital." Xu Jingming nodded, "But I'm worried that my strength is limited..."
"Don't worry, there are many guards, you are just one of them, don't feel pressured." Zhang Bo took Xu Jingming's hand and said enthusiastically, "Come on, come on, follow me to see my master first."
Xu Jingming followed the enthusiastic steward Zhang and soon arrived at a hall.
Master Fei was sitting there, with two people standing beside him. One was a middle-aged one-eyed man, and the other was a silver-haired old man. The two looked at Xu Jingming, and the invisible sense of oppression frightened Xu Jingming. It was as if two seas were pressing down on him.
"What a strong spiritual consciousness, the consciousness is radiating outward! It oppresses all directions! In reality, it must be a seventh-level star life." Xu Jingming was secretly surprised, "This virtual world is really a big deal. There are so many masters among the indigenous people."
As soon as they met, he could clearly feel how terrifying the mental consciousness of the two people behind Master Fei was.
His mental awareness is terrifying, and his general weapon skills will not be too bad.
"Jingming, greetings to Mr. Fei." Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.
"Jingming?" Master Fei observed Xu Jingming carefully.
Look at the facial features!
Look at the eyes!
A person's character and inner qualities can be seen to a great extent from their appearance, and Mr. Fei is obviously an expert.
Xu Jingming was somewhat puzzled by the stare of Mr. Fei. Why was he staring at him so closely? But he was open-minded and didn't care.
"They shouldn't be evil people." Master Fei thought to himself. His daughter had selected three guards this time, one female and two males. So Guard Luo and Guard Jing... Master Fei had to watch them carefully. He would never allow evil people to be around his daughter.
"Guard Jing, where are you from?" Master Fei finally spoke.
"My home is at Cross Hill, over a hundred miles outside of Lanyue City." Xu Jingming spoke. This was the identity automatically given by the system when he first entered the Blood Rain World.
As long as the players who are citizens of the universe come in, they are all at the bottom of the hierarchy! When they are at the bottom, the world's targeting of them will be very weak, but the higher the status and the greater the power, the stronger the world's targeting will be, and the more dangers will be.
Xu Jingming is now just an ordinary guard, and the world's hostility towards him is still very weak.
"Around Lanyue City?" Mr. Fei smiled and nodded, quite satisfied.
