It seemed like I had a loss. But I had already paid, so Zhang Cheng couldn't do anything to return the goods. He and Jia turned around and left.

"Go and buy some food." Since he came to shop, Zhang Cheng also wanted to complete the things he should have. The lack of preparation for traveling in the game does not mean that he does not need it in reality. He needs to carry food, drinks and various other pieces of equipment. Of course, after having the dimension bag, I don't know how much easier this matter is.

"Young Master, where are you going this time?" Jia immediately noticed what Zhang Cheng meant.

"Xiaxu." Zhang Cheng said. He can now believe that the so-called Xiaxu is the free city of the second act.

As a game expert, Zhang Cheng knew that the first act of the game, the main line of the "refugee camp" was actually just to get players in office, and the difficulty was very low. Some bosses could pass the level by talking rather than having to do something to the death. And the second act of the game was that it really started to be difficult.

The strongest boss in the first act is the Lich, a spellcaster at least level 15. But in fact, this is an optional task, which means that you can not accept the task, and even if you take the task, you can compromise with the Lich to avoid fighting. The real main plot is actually those inaugural tasks. In fact, even if you deal with those lizard men - as mentioned earlier, according to the game plot, the Lizard men only have miscellaneous soldiers and no boss - you can choose to skip them.

But the situation in the second act is completely different. The strongest boss is waiting for him in the main plot. Moreover, this is not something you can get confused by just talking. It is true that when both parties meet, they have to meet the truth, and there is no room for compromise. It is either you die or I live.

"Please stay, please stay!" The voice of the scar-faced merchant suddenly sounded behind him.

Zhang Cheng stopped.

"I had no intention of eavesdropping, but I heard you just now say you were going to Xiaxu?" The merchant came over with a smile. With a smile, the scarface, which originally looked very dangerous, was not that scary anymore.

"Yes." Zhang Cheng admitted. "What advice do you have?"

"I'm going to go to Xiaxu too." said the traveler. "If possible, I hope I can lead the way for both of you."

Zhang Cheng knew that according to the earth, this place was in ancient times, that is to say, it was not yet the era of "wisdom emerged and there were great falsehoods". Conspiracy, especially various scams, were not so popular these days. But such a stranger was so close, no matter how he looked at it, he was wrong.

"Leading the way?" Zhang Cheng felt suspicious, and Jia obviously didn't think so much. "Have you been there before?"

“I’ve been there many times.”

"What's the place Xiaxu...?"

"Although the capital of Xia Shi was abandoned for a long time, it was still quite large." said the traveler. "It is said that after Xia Shi moved the capital, there were only some savages and some barbarians there, but no one cared about it. However, later, more and more people came. Somehow, a few witches came decades ago and lived there for a long time. So more and more people were. Although it was an aborted capital," he reached out to compare his hands. "It was much bigger than this Kunwu City."

"Abandoned City... Why are there so many people? What about the monarchs of that place?"

Taking Zhang Cheng's understanding of this world, he knew that the "world" actually has a lord. Taking Doctor Kunwu's territory as an example, although before the minerals were discovered, the swamp was an unmanned land and had no value to the lord. However, the swamp did belong to Doctor Kunwu in name. So it is natural to understand that if Xiaxu was a broken place where birds do not shit, then the lord would not bother to take a look. However, if there were many residents in it and the conditions for tax collection, it was hard to imagine that the lord would ignore it.

Even if the lord was a selfless philanthropist who had no interest in taxes (of course it was completely impossible), he could not allow so many forces to escape from his control, which was a threatening force. Just like the Huaiyi in the swamp, although they did nothing, Doctor Kunwu still regarded them as potential threats, and it would only take action later.

"That place..." said the traveler. "It is logical that it belongs to the State of Song, but there is a great witch here, and the Song people dare not interfere."

"Great Witch..." Zhang Cheng was a little confused. The witch was the priest in the game, but there was no profession called "Great Witch" or such a npc in the game. However, there was a "Lizardman Grand Mage" on the side of the wizard. However, it was better to say that this was a title than a profession. Because there was no semicolon in this family.

"Since that's the case, why do you want to lead the way for us?" Jia spoke up on his own initiative. "Do you think we can't find it?"

"That's not what it means," the traveler explained patiently. "If I were to lead the way, some gentlemen would definitely save a lot of time."

But these explanations did not make Jia relax his guard, "So, what do you want for us?"

The traveler smiled all over his face. He said that his purpose was very simple: he wanted a location in Kunwu City, that is, the refugee camp. He did not want to guard a car like this anymore, but wanted a shop and stall that could display his goods. According to him, he found that there were some missing things in Kunwu City, which happened to be there on Xiaxu, and some shortages in Xiaxu, which were more common in Kunwu City. In this way, between the two, it became a very profitable deal.

By observing his expressions and expressions, he had already believed that Zhang Cheng could speak here. And this was a small matter, or even a matter of fact. Because it was not difficult, he could only get a small stall if someone had to come forward to guarantee and introduce him. Of course, this lead-in is also costless. Anyway, he had to go back and forth to do business and do it along the way.

By the way, people actually want to make money safely, so it is not worth wondering if he has this idea.

As an earthling, especially a earthling who has been washed away by the information age, Zhang Cheng naturally wondered whether this was a trap. For example, if the other party would lead him into a trap in the name of leading the way. After all, even in the wilderness era, there were still no shortage of bandits and robbers. In fact, there might be more.

He whispered to Jia around him. As an indigenous person, Jia knew better about this. He explained that judging from the items sold by the other party, the other party should be a pure merchant, not a "wild thief". Simply put, his initiative to lead the way was not so much for a local stall, but rather for a few free bodyguards on the road.

Although travelers do make money, to be honest, Jia is not envious at all. Because the risks in this industry are really too great, God knows what you will encounter in the wild. And scholars, in this era, are almost synonymous with the ability to fight.

In other words... if he chooses to lead the way, can he save some time?

Although Dr. Kunwu did not give a clear schedule, the earlier the better. After all, only when you arrive in Xiaxu early can you have time to make arrangements and prepare to intercept the teleportation from Quanrong.

There are still many details that are difficult to figure out, especially the difference between the game timeline and the real timeline... But there is no mistake to arrive at Xiaxu early.

"What's your name?" Zhang Cheng asked.

The traveler was overjoyed and knew that the matter had been done. "My name is An," he paused and added. "Xia."

"Xia An? Xia? You are..."

This world is like the ancient Chinese country on Earth. The surname He is quite special and is a proof of bloodline. Especially the clans, ordinary people are famous, but the clans are not. Even if many people say that they have surnames in private (for example, Jia), they are just secretly saying that when facing a real noble in public, it will be unlucky to talk nonsense.

Xia An introduced himself like this, which means that he was a nobleman, and his ancestors were once a branch of Xia Shi. This theoretically seems to be a very remarkable identity.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but glance at Jia. He knew before that Jia was very concerned about this matter - but on the surface, Xia An's self-introduction was almost useless. Jia's face did not change. If there was any change, it would be that the contempt at the corner of his mouth became more serious.

"Young Master," Jia noticed Zhang Cheng's expression and said secretly, "Don't believe him, this is a lie. Xia Shi died early, the remaining clans were scattered, and there was no root to be found. Therefore, there are too many people who claim to be descendants of Xia Shi. So everyone doesn't believe it. You don't have to be serious."

I see.

Xia An seemed very warm. He introduced Zhang Cheng to various preparations necessary to go to Xiaxu, for example, the temperature - Xiaxu is slightly warmer than Kunwu City, so the same clothes are enough. However, Xiaxu is in the forest and there are many parasites. Even in winter, there are flying insects, so you need to prepare corresponding ointments and spices. Of course, in this regard, he vigorously introduced a deworming drug on his side. This drug is rare, it was made by Quanrong. Because the whole body is covered with hair, parasites have always been one of the big problems of Quanrong. The nobles in the Quanrong rely on this ointment to drive away the parasites on their bodies.

Although Xia An tried his best to promote it, in fact he had few achievements. Zhang Cheng was an earthling after all. The other party's sales level may be first-class in this world, and on the earth in the information age, it is not even a passing line.

However, although the product promotion failed, the plan of both parties was decided soon. Because it was not early today, I expected to leave early tomorrow morning. As for the store issue, this is not even a problem. There are many people in the refugee camp, and there are many empty stores. Zhang Cheng just asked Jia to deal with this matter. Anyway, most people in Kunwucheng know Jia and are very clear about his current situation. So everyone knows that Jia actually represents Zhang Cheng.

Soon, Zhang Cheng returned to the room given to him by Dr. Kunwu. Now Zhang Cheng already has his own fiefdom, but he still has a place in the castle.

Zhang Cheng cares about another thing.

According to the information Wu Lan told him before, he guessed that it should be the time to return to Earth now.

For time travelers, their biggest disadvantage compared to indigenous people is this kind of "sleep". The back and forth of the two worlds seems to be achieved through sleep, which means that on the surface you are asleep, but in fact your soul is no longer in this world. This means that if something unexpected happens at night, you will not be awakened.

It is hard to say what happens if your body dies after traveling through time... It is obvious that if this is a loophole, the time travelers would have noticed it long ago. But since no one has taken advantage of this loophole, there is obviously another answer to the question.

This is why they are cannon fodder in plane wars. Are cannon fodder? No matter how many deaths are, no one will feel distressed.

Doctor Kunwu is no longer in the city and I don’t know where he is going. Just like in the past, Mr. Huang is responsible for staying in Kunwu City. At dusk, Mr. Huang sent a precious treasure.

It was an item called Xuangui. If you want to describe it, it was a black stone, sculpted into a long strip, with a smooth edge at the top and a bright edge. However, this black is different from the black of coal. The black of a coal ball can only be described as black and shiny at most, while Xuangui's black obviously has a supernatural feeling, and this black seems to have some vitality. If you look closely, you will find that the black seems to leave Xuangui's body from time to time and dye the surrounding air. When you hold it in your hand, you can feel a slight warmth.

Even if you don’t understand at all, you can tell that this thing is definitely not ordinary if you look at it with a little bit of detail.

Huang Gong showed off the purpose of Xuan Gui. Just before Zhang Cheng's eyes, he chanted a few spells softly, and colorful clouds appeared above Xuan Gui, and then an image condensed.

After a peek, he could sense the shock on Zhang Cheng's face at this moment. Obviously, it was the first time he saw such a treasure.

x, this is... a video call? Zhang Cheng really has nothing else to describe because he saw Dr. Kunwu's face.

On Earth, video calls are no longer news. Even video conferencing and other things are common, but where is this? This is the wilderness era! There are video calls here?

Mr. Huang saluted to Dr. Kunwu's image and apologized for his disturbance. At the same time, he explained that he was just to show it to Zhang Cheng this time, and there was nothing else. Mr. Kunwu expressed his conservatively and said nothing, and at the same time encouraged Zhang Cheng to contact him at any time through Xuangui. Not only that, Mr. Kunwu also instructed Mr. Huang to provide all the necessary help for Zhang Cheng's journey.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take the opportunity to ask Xuan Gui what was going on.

Doctor Kunwu told Zhang Cheng with a proud look that this Xuangui is an ancient treasure, one of the rare treasures passed down by the Kunwu clan in all dynasties. Although Kunwu clan suffered the disaster of the country and the family destruction, his ancestors of all dynasties still tried to preserve the treasure. This thing can ignore space restrictions and make video calls. Not only that, this call is not disturbed by ordinary means. When other methods cannot be transmitted, this thing can still take effect as usual.

Of course, as the treasure of Kunwu, this thing is "binding" the head of Kunwu in the past dynasties. In other words, you can only contact Kunwu with this thing. As for why you can only contact Kunwu instead of others, there is obviously some mystery, but whether it is Kunwu or Huang Gong, it seems that you don't want to explain this mystery to Zhang Cheng.

It should be noted that although Doctor Kunwu and Mr. Huang’s statements were not exaggerated. Because later, Mr. Huang left, the little bear was envious of this treasure.

The little bear clearly pointed out that this thing is very rare, so that even if it is its original body, it has only heard of Xuangui, but has never had the chance to see it with his own eyes. According to the little bear, such treasures are really anomalies in the hands of Doctor Kunwu. Not to mention the princes, even the emperor will covet such treasures. Doctor Kunwu took it out and lent it to Zhang Cheng this time, which is itself a proof of extreme trust.

The only pity is that Doctor Kunwu only "lent" Zhang Chengyong this time, not giving it to Zhang Cheng. However, Zhang Cheng was relieved soon. Having said that, it is incredible to reward Zhang Cheng with such a rare thing. And maybe the effect of this thing is too great in the eyes of others, but in Zhang Cheng's eyes, although this thing is surprising, it is just that. But it's just a magic version of a smartphone, and it's still the type that cannot dial and can only directly connect to a single target.
