After registering, Niu Li led the group to the dormitory area.
Black Sparrow City was neither big nor small. It had all the necessary facilities.
Along the way, Wang Teng and the others saw many shops. All of them were astonished.
Niu Li said, "Black Sparrow City is a military town controlled by the Black Sparrow Army. There are more than eighty thousand soldiers stationed here, and less than ten percent of them are martial artists.
"Of the ten percent of martial artists, the military makes up three fifths of them. Other than that, there are also martial artists from various factions and even independent martial artists. They are stationed in the other dimension all year round and need all sorts of resources. Therefore, many organizations that work with the military will set up shops and subsidiaries here.
"Not only do these companies sell all sorts of resources, but they also buy star beasts killed by martial artists or items obtained from killing enemies."
"Do they make money?" Wang Teng's eyes lit up as he suddenly asked.
Niu Li paused for a moment and looked towards the source of the voice. When he realized that it was the student he had been paying attention to, he was slightly stunned.
He looked at Wang Teng's greedy face and did not know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was indeed different. However, he still nodded and said, "Yes, a lot of money!"
Wang Teng seemed to have seen a huge business opportunity and wanted to find a chance to compete with Tantai Xuan.
As the disciple of the Black Sparrow Army's general, it should be a piece of cake for him to open a small company here.
However, this matter could not be rushed.
The development of the Wang Clan had to be done step by step. One couldn't become fat in a single bite.
Everyone was speechless when they saw Wang Teng's thoughtful look. Was this guy thinking of doing business here?
What a load of thought!
Niu Li smiled and shook his head. It was not easy to do business here. Not only did one have to be strong enough, but one also had to have a strong background and capital.
Otherwise, one would not even realize that they were being eaten by those big shots.
He continued, "Also, there are many entertainment facilities here. Martial artists and soldiers are constantly facing death on the battlefield, so they need to relax occasionally. Otherwise, the stress on the battlefield will drive them crazy."
Everyone nodded and felt that this was very humane.
…
Niu Li introduced the area in front of them. Finally, they stopped at a residential area.
The residential area was very big and was built like a small district. The style was simple and not luxurious.
As far as the eye could see, the rows of five-story buildings could only be described with one word — neat.
"Alright, this is the dormitory area. You will be staying in Building 26. Everyone will have one room. Find your own room."
"Today's main purpose is to familiarize ourselves and reorganize. Tomorrow, we will have a military exercise. Gather in front of the dormitory building at seven in the morning. I will come and find you then."
"In addition, there are many interesting places in Black Sparrow City. You can explore them on your own, but I have to remind you that some places are off limits. Don't force your way in and control your curiosity, or else …"
Niu Li glanced around and revealed his white teeth. "Punish them according to military law!"
Everyone's eyes narrowed.
Being punished by military law was no joke.
They were all military academy students and naturally understood the weight of these words. At this moment, they all nodded obediently in agreement.
"Old Nie, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Once you've settled everything here, remember to come and have a drink with me. I happen to have two days off, it's rare for me to relax." Niu Li turned to Nie Jianqiang and said.
"No problem. I'll have a few drinks with you tonight." Nie Jianqiang smiled.
After Niu Li left, Nie Jianqiang looked at everyone and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Niu mentioned the military exercise just now. Let me briefly explain it to you."
"The military exercise is mainly to test your strength. You are all rookies, so the military will test your strength so that they can assign you missions. Tomorrow, there will be veteran martial artists who will fight with you. Their combat experience may be higher than yours, and their combat awareness may also be stronger than yours, so you must be careful."
"If there's nothing else, you can go now. Tidy up your rooms and go shopping."
After that, he left the rookies behind. They looked at each other and were stunned for a while.
Then, everyone dispersed and went to find their own rooms.
Their rooms were probably assigned according to their ranking. The three of them stayed next to each other.
Before returning to his room, Wang Teng, Han Zhu, and the others agreed to go shopping half an hour later.
Wang Teng's room number was 306. He took out his military identification card and scanned it.
Beep!
The door opened.
The military identification card had many functions. It was used for lodging, purchasing, passing, and so on. It was almost equivalent to an ID card in the military.
Their military achievements would be recorded in the military identification card in the future. It was easy to find out.
Wang Teng walked into the room. The facilities were very simple. Other than the bed, table, chair, and bathroom, there was nothing else. It was very much in line with the style of the military.
They were all single people. After all, martial artists were different. Everyone had to cultivate every day and each had their own secrets. If they stayed together, it would be very inconvenient.
Wang Teng walked around. Actually, there was nothing much to tidy up. The room was very clean. He just needed to make the bed and clean it a little.
Half an hour later, Wang Teng, Han Zhu, and the other two walked out of the dormitory. They wandered around aimlessly.
They went to the shops and companies that they passed by earlier.
They didn't pay attention earlier. Now that they were close, they saw many familiar names.
Taobao Offline Shopping Center!
Tencent Weapons Flagship Store!
Da Runes Flagship Store!
Jingdong Offline Shopping Center!
Lick Cat Supermarket!
…
"Let's go take a look at the Tencent Weapons Flagship Store. I heard that the Tencent Group released a new combat sword. It's the flagship version. Many people bought it," Wan Baiqiu said.
"Isn't your weapon of choice a whip? Why are you interested in swords?" Han Zhu was surprised.
"What do you know? If it wasn't for my lack of talent in swordsmanship, do you think I would have chosen a whip?" Wan Baiqiu said angrily.
"Old Han, swords are popular weapons for both men and women." Wang Teng smiled and walked into the Tencent Weapons Flagship Store.
"Tsk, you guys are the ones who don't know. Swords are a man's romance," Han Zhu insisted.
"Have you forgotten that I'm a master of both swords and sabers?" Wang Teng laughed.
"F * ck!" Han Zhu was speechless. He forgot that this guy in front of him was a pervert. He was good at both swords and sabers.
The Tencent Weapons Flagship Store was easy to recognize.
It was a clumsy penguin. It was fat but looked pleasing to the eye.
"Welcome!" A pretty salesgirl saw them and immediately came up to them.
"We would like to see the new combat sword." Wan Baiqiu went straight to the point.
"Okay, please follow me." The salesgirl wasn't surprised. She brought them to the second floor and stopped in front of a counter.
There were already a few people around the counter. They were all looking at a sword-shaped weapon on the counter.
"This is our new Fiery Bird series combat sword. The main material is the rare iron ore in the Other World — Fiery Stone!
"Not only that, but our Penguin Group's refiners also carefully designed a refining plan for it, and finally refined this new combat sword. Its strength, flexibility, and sharpness are even better than those of the Red Flame series..."
The salesgirl did her job and introduced a lot of things. Finally, she told them the price.
"This new and powerful limited edition combat sword is not worth 500 million or 400 million. It's only 399 million!
"Is there anyone who wants to buy it?"
Han Zhu: "…"
Wan Baiqiu: "…"
The surrounding customers: "…"
"Haha, 399 million? This price is not bad. Let's take a look first." Wan Baiqiu smiled awkwardly.
The surrounding customers also revealed reserved and polite smiles.
That was … the smile of poverty!
The salesgirl also smiled charmingly. She nodded and said, "Okay, take your time. If you are interested, please let me know."
"No problem. You can go back to your work," Wan Baiqiu said.
After the salesgirl left, Wang Teng was speechless. "399 million isn't bad. You are all in your fourth year. You can earn that much by doing two missions."
"Bullsh * t. I've done missions for so many years. I only have 200 million at most. I can't even keep it for three days before it's gone," Wan Baiqiu said angrily.
"It can't be. So miserable." Wang Teng opened his eyes wide. They were 4-star and 5-star soldier-level martial warriors. How could they be so miserable?
"Most of our money is used to buy cultivation resources. Force cultivation techniques and combat techniques are not cheap. How can we save money?" Han Zhu looked up at the sky. His eyes were filled with desire.
That was his desire for small amounts of money!
Wang Teng shook his head. He felt that he was … too fortunate. Hahaha!
He didn't need to spend money to buy cultivation techniques or combat techniques. He didn't need resources like pills or energy stones either. He could just pick up attributes.
This was the only way he could save money!
Wang Teng couldn't help but feel emotional.
The few of them left the Tencent flagship store. In the end, they didn't buy anything. Poverty had limited their purchasing power.
They continued to walk around.
They walked into the Taobao online shopping mall. There were more items here. The prices varied too. It was a mass market.
There were more people in the shop than in Tencent.
There weren't any salesgirls. Customers had to scan the QR code and pay for whatever they wanted. Then, they could take it away.
They walked around and came to the trading area.
Taobao's trading area was a place for martial artists to trade. If there was anything they wanted to sell, they could bring it here to be appraised and priced. If they felt it was suitable, they could sell it to Taobao. If not, they could just leave.
However, the customers' trading items were confidential. Outsiders couldn't see them. Wang Teng and the other two walked around the trading area. They felt that it was boring and prepared to leave.
At that moment, three martial artists walked out of the trading area. Their conversation entered Wang Teng's ears.
"The price they offered isn't low. You should buy your furnace. You're not an alchemist. It's useless to hold on to it!"
"Yeah. It's better to sell it and exchange it for other resources."
"I want to take a look. You know the origin of that furnace. I feel that it's not ordinary. Perhaps it can be sold for a higher price. It's just that they don't know the value."
"Forget it. Taobao's appraisers are all recognized. If they can't tell, what else do you want?"
As they talked, they walked further and further away. Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.
"Please wait!"
