Chapter 139 Small Town Suspicion
Following the direction pointed out by the town citizen, Annie took Lin Lang and Kexin and turned left and right in the town. After searching for more than half an hour, they found the hotel hidden in the corner.
This hotel does not open its door on the street. Instead, it is hidden in an alley. You can tell it has a secret at a glance.
That is to say, Lin Lang and his colleagues are so brave that they dare to venture into a place like this, which looks like a dragon's pond or a tiger's den.
Squeak!
The door of the hotel is a swing door made of wood. There is a sign on the door that says 'If you want to stay in the hotel, open the door yourself'.
Kexin walked in front, pushed the wooden door open, and walked into the hotel, which had poor lighting and seemed a bit dark inside.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the middle-aged man sitting behind the counter rolled his eyes and looked at the door. After noticing the height of the three people coming, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Annie walked in and shouted: "Hello, we want to stay in the hotel."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man could no longer sit still and stood up from the table, "Are you from other worlds?"
The middle-aged man's attitude was not enthusiastic at all, and his words were somewhat interrogative. Even if Kexin couldn't understand what he was saying, she could tell that the middle-aged man did not welcome them.
Where in the world are there businessmen who don’t like making money?
They are guests. For the hotel owner, guests mean money. But now, the hotel owner doesn't welcome them very much. Just think about it and you know there is something fishy.
"Yes." Annie nodded.
The middle-aged man glanced across the faces of the three people and asked: "There are three of you, do you want to open three rooms?"
"No, we only have one room, a bigger one, so the three of us can live together."
Although Lin Lang and Ke Xin have not said how they want to live, they already know that the people in this town have a bad attitude towards outsiders, so how can Annie let the three of them separate?
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and then asked: "I don't accept currencies from other worlds here. Have you prepared the currency from the Anzwego world?"
As early as when he decided to go to the world of Andzwego, Lin Lang exchanged the currencies of several major countries in the world of Andzwego, and put them all in his suitcase.
"Of course we are prepared. How could we make such a stupid mistake?" Annie pursed her lips and chuckled, asking the middle-aged man about the price of accommodation.
This time, the middle-aged man didn’t delay and simply told the price.
Although it has been investigated in advance, it has only been eight years since the world of Andzwego joined the meta-human federation. Due to the lack of resources, not many organizations and companies have been involved in development, so there is not much news related to the world of Andzwego on the Internet, let alone
Stop talking about local prices.
Therefore, Anne could not judge whether the price mentioned by the middle-aged man was high or low.
After translating the middle-aged man's words to Lin Lang, Annie heard Lin Lang laugh and said: "It's very simple, just compare the exchange rates and prices of world currencies between Earth and Anzwego. Due to the developed productivity of our planet, prices on Earth
It has been reduced to the extreme, but because of the developed productivity and the ability to produce many high-end products, the exchange rate of the earth's currency against other world currencies often remains high.
"Imagine what the price he gave is converted into earth currency. What can we buy there? Then calculate the approximate price based on the productivity level of Anzwego's world. Compare the two, and you will know what the store owner has to say.
The price level."
Kexin and Anni suddenly realized it and learned a new piece of knowledge.
Annie is a mage. Her soul structure has been optimized and shaped many times. It only took ten seconds to complete the calculations Lin Lang mentioned. She turned to the middle-aged man and said, "It's a bit expensive. Can it be lower?"

The middle-aged man didn't know what the three young men said, but after the young man spoke, the two girls showed understanding.
In other words, is that young man the backbone of the three?
The middle-aged man looked indifferent and shook his head, "This is how we live here. If you don't want to live here, you can find other places to live."
"Are there any other hotels in this town?" Annie asked.
Although they definitely have enough money with them, Annie doesn't want to be the one who gets ripped off.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "No, I am the only hotel in this town."
Annie pursed her lips and turned around to tell Lin Lang and Ke Xin the news.
"As expected." Lin Lang laughed again, "Promise him, we will live here today."
Annie nodded and told the middle-aged man that they wanted to stay.
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered for a few times, then he turned around and walked out from behind the counter, walked upstairs on the creaking stairs, "Follow me."
Lin Lang and the other two followed the middle-aged man up the stairs and came to the door of a room at the end of the corridor. The middle-aged man pushed the door open and gave them a look inside the room.
"This room is the biggest room here. If you think it's okay, just pay."
When he said this, the middle-aged man did not show any impatience, but his tone was calm, not like a businessman at all.
Kexin and Anni took a look and found that the room was indeed not small, with a bed, a sofa, a table and a chair, and a fireplace on the wall.
"That's it." Annie nodded to the middle-aged man.
Then, she opened Lin Lang's suitcase, counted out three silver coins in front of the middle-aged man, and handed them over.
Through the open mouth of the bag, the middle-aged man should be able to see the mixed gold and silver coins in the bag. However, Kexin stood aside and quietly paid attention to the shop owner, and found that his eyes did not even waver.
If people who are civilized to the level of modern society are okay, how can people in this world that is obviously in the feudal period not be tempted by seeing so much money?
Even in a world like the Gelton world, which has been a member of the Pan-Human Federation for twenty years, as long as money is exposed, it will attract the covetousness of others.
The middle-aged man casually took the silver coin and said: "If you need catering service, you can go to the Eaton Tavern on Long Street. I will not prepare food for you here."

Annie laughed and didn't respond.
Glancing at the three of them, the middle-aged man held three silver coins in his hands, turned around and walked down the stairs.
Kexin and Anni pulled Lin Lang into the room, closed the door, and asked impatiently: "What did you find?"
The residents of this town treated them with indifference, without enthusiasm, curiosity, or even resentment, which made both Ke Xin and Annie strange.
Lin Lang sat on the sofa in the room, stretched his neck, and said: "Let's put it this way, according to my speculation, there may be no real residents in this town. Although everyone here maintains the appearance of life, in fact
, this is just their disguise. People who speak different languages come from different countries. Their countries sent them here and will not allow them to contact people from other countries. So when you ask them, Anne, they
I will avoid you."
Kexin and Anni tried to fit the situation in this town into what Lin Lang said, and found that the situation was very consistent.
"Then what?" Kexin asked, "Lin Lang, you must have other ideas, right?"
"Of course." Lin Lang clicked his chin, "If nothing else happens, the country in the Andzwego world should block this town. At least the natives of this world cannot come here. In other words, this
The rulers of the world do not want the people of this world to be exposed to the outside world."
If there were real outsiders in this town, instead of sentinels sent by the country, it would be impossible for the people living here to have such a tacit understanding and not communicate with people who speak other languages, but still live harmoniously in the same town.
Thinking of this, Anne couldn't help but worry: "The rulers of this world don't want their people to be exposed to the outside world, so can we still leave this town?"
"You'll know after you try it." Kexin snorted softly.
"Yes, you'll know after you try it." Lin Lang also laughed.
Since he came to this world, his smile has become more numerous.
This is because of excitement!
Neither Ke Xin nor Annie knew that he still had an unspoken guess in his mind.
