"It's been more than four years, right?"
Lin Sanjiu thought to herself uncertainly.
After some thought, she realized that it had been more than four years since she had thought about how to earn money.
Lin Sanjiu left the airship's registration point and wandered aimlessly for a while. Then, she stood by the side of the street in a daze, holding all of her belongings in her hands.
If it weren't for the skeletal wings on her back, she wouldn't have been able to squat down. She would have looked even more miserable now that she was squatting by the side of the street.
Whenever she was alone, Mrs. Manas would often come out to chat with her. However, Mrs. Manas didn't know what to do when faced with the current situation.
"Didn't you say that we can sell our Special Items?" Mrs. Manas suggested, "Why don't you look around and see if there are any shops that sell Special Items?"
Along the way, Lin Sanjiu had seen quite a few "Special Item Recycling High Price" signs. However, all of these shops had one thing in common — they were all hidden in secluded doorways. Some of them were even hidden in alleyways. The door frames were dilapidated, and the paint on the walls was peeling off. Looking through the front door, Lin Sanjiu could only see a dark shadow. She couldn't see anything.
Just by looking at them, Lin Sanjiu felt that they were very suspicious.
Lin Sanjiu wasn't familiar with this place, so she didn't want to take the risk. She took a deep breath and opened the traffic map of the Cyber District. To be fair, even though it was a little expensive, the information on the map was quite detailed. Other than the airship's registration point, the main road, and the commercial street, there were also areas that were painted in black and red. All of them were marked with the words "No Trespassing".
The red area was small, and there weren't many of them. Next to it was a drawing of a pair of crossed two-handed swords with the words "Instance Dungeon" written on it. This was easy to understand. The Twelve Worlds Centrum had been formed for so many years, and the situation of the Instance Dungeons in the Inner World should have been more or less understood by now.
The areas that were painted in black only had a small symbol. It was a mermaid with open arms and a smile on her face. Apart from that, there were no other words.
"Perhaps, these areas are occupied by some forces?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking.
She moved her eyes away from the black area and looked at the commercial street. She muttered to herself uncertainly, "… Maybe I can exchange money here?"
On the map, Lin Sanjiu could see a crimson crystal on each business district. It was indeed very tempting.
The shopping street wasn't too far away from her. She could walk there if she wanted to. Before Lin Sanjiu moved, she tried to retract her skeletal wings a little, but the gigantic, malevolent-looking White Bones were still lying firmly on her back, not moving an inch.
These two bone wings were extremely ferocious. Part of it came from their heavy bodies. After dragging the wings for almost a day, Lin Sanjiu could already feel her lower back aching a little. The muscles on her back were obviously not used to the sudden weight that was pressing down on her.
"Really, if I can't put it away, how am I going to sleep?" Lin Sanjiu grumbled as she walked, "Do I have to spread my wings and sleep on my stomach?"
Mrs. Manas imagined that scene and couldn't help but find it funny. After thinking for a while, she suggested, "Actually, you just haven't adapted to them yet. So, you can't sit or squat. If you can learn to adjust your wings to a suitable angle, I think it won't be difficult to live with them. "
That was true.
Lin Sanjiu's skeletal wings looked as if they were bound by an invisible rope. Since their owner didn't know what to do with them, they had been sitting stiffly on her back. At first glance, they didn't look like they had grown out of her body and could move freely. Instead, they looked more like two ornaments. It was no wonder that people rarely gave her a second glance when she walked on the streets. After all, there were many people in the Twelve Worlds Centrum who dressed up even more strangely than this.
Lin Sanjiu walked for more than ten minutes while dragging the two big fellows. She almost missed the entrance to the commercial street. The main reason was that she had never seen such a... random style of buildings.
In her mind, the commercial street should be filled with buildings and shops. The commercial street was supposed to be lined with buildings and shops. However, she didn't know if it was to attract customers, but the appearance of these buildings was simply... random.
There was a shop that was only a few steps away from Lin Sanjiu. The front of the shop wasn't facing the street. Instead, Lin Sanjiu turned her body sideways. From afar, she could see that the shop's signboard said something like "Special Item". However, she didn't go in. That was because it was obvious that the shop didn't even have a foundation. It was just a small space built with bricks on the ground. The height of the entrance was only up to Lin Sanjiu's shoulder. A person could go in by bending their back, but her skeletal wings would definitely tear the shop down.
Similarly, there was a huge metal bucket not far from her. Lin Sanjiu didn't know where the owner found it. The metal bucket was as big as a two-story building and was placed on the ground. The owner used a knife to cut out an entrance. The words "Munitions Factory Raw Material Monopoly" were written on the entrance. There were some people who went in, but no matter how careful they were, the metal bucket would shake a few times when they went in.
Behind the metal bucket, all the way to the end of the street, was an exquisite ancient-style building with richly ornamented beams and painted rafters. Before Lin Sanjiu could finish sighing, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She took a closer look and realized that the building wasn't so tall that it reached the clouds. Instead, there were many clouds on the roof of the building, creating the illusion of a tall building.
Other than the usual stalls that sold maps and snacks, there were quite a number of posthumans who just laid a piece of cloth on the ground and started selling their items. Lin Sanjiu pretended to have money in her pocket and looked around. She realized that the prices and the items they were selling were very casual. However, she couldn't help noticing one thing.
It would be fine if they were selling survival necessities or things like pistols and military knives. However, none of the stalls that sold Special Items would place their items directly on the stalls. Instead, they would place pieces of paper with similar specifications and shapes.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked at the paper in front of her. The words "Special Item Appraisal Certificate # 572012623" were written on it.
"Are you interested?" The stall owner smiled when he saw that he had a customer. "Why don't you take it and take a closer look? It was appraised yesterday. Even the appraiser said that this item is rare! "
"Why … Why do you need to appraise it?" Lin Sanjiu glanced at the contents on the paper.
In addition to the item's name, introduction, precautions, usage, and so on, there was also an item's valuation at the bottom. The item in her hand was an item called [Peach Blossom Fan], and it was valued at around 42 large crystals.
"Are you looking for something that hasn't been appraised?" The expression on the stall owner's face changed. He stretched out his hand and took the appraisal certificate back, "Then, don't come here … I advise you not to try to take advantage of this. After all, it's too risky …"
Lin Sanjiu was confused by the stall owner's explanation, but she understood one thing. If she wanted to sell Special Items here, it would be best if they had been appraised by a professional organization. Only then, customers would be willing to buy them.
It wasn't difficult to find an appraisal organization. As long as one had a certified appraiser, they could open for business. She heard that there were a few of them in the "towering building" she saw just now.
After asking a few more questions from the stall owner, who was getting more and more perfunctory, Lin Sanjiu went straight to the "towering building".
Since she had figured out what she should do, she felt a lot more relaxed. She took out the "hairy yellow" bun that she had bought before and took a bite.
"Ah, isn't this Pork Bun!" (To be continued)
