At this time, a sound of footsteps came from outside the wooden door of the cave. Li Zhong quickly lay down. He didn't want to be seen abnormal. This is a magical world, and it is difficult to guarantee any accidents. Before he re-practice of martial arts, he should be more cautious first, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

After Li Zhong lay down, the wooden door at the entrance of the cave was opened, and a figure appeared in the cave room, but it was the old man, Old Tom.

As soon as Old Tom came in, he saw Li Zhong still sleeping, and immediately shouted: "Boy got up. When is it? You are still sleeping. Your injury should be healed. Don't pretend to be asleep for me. It's your turn to work."

Old Tom's voice was deafening, and the entire cave room was buzzing. When Li Zhong heard this, he thought to himself: "It seems that old Tom is very confident in his potion. He clearly knows that after this night, his body has recovered most of his bones and his bones have all grown, but some internal injuries have not yet healed."

Li Zhong slowly opened his eyes, pretended to have just woken up, and looked at Old Tom and said, "Did you save me?"

Old Tom shook his nose and said, "Of course it's me, otherwise who do you think it is? OK, get up, follow me, we don't have idle people in this place, everyone has a job. You start following me today and be a relaxed guy first. When you recover, you will have to help me and repay the resuscitation medicine you took."

Li Zhong did not object when he heard this, but just nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Zhong knew what the resuscitation agent Lao Tom mentioned was. It was a low-level agent. The thing that is often used in the entire human kingdom was to extract the essence of various herbs and dark beasts. It was a relatively expensive thing. It was rarely used by ordinary people and used pure medicine.

In this world, the hard currency circulating is a dark crystal coin. The price is specified according to the energy content in the crystal coin. The energy is in degrees. The energy contained in an ordinary dark crystal coin is one degree, which can activate a charging light bulb and maintain a brightness for an hour.

The black technology of this era was rebuilt on the basis of human beings, so it is in line with the bright era of technology, but it is different from the use of energy.

Crystal coins are divided into two-level sixth grade, low-level one-degree, ten-degree, Baidu, high-level thousand-degree, ten-degree, and hundreds of thousands of degrees.

A bottle of initial comprehensive recovery agent is worth 100 degrees of crystal coins, which is the monthly income of ordinary people in the settlement. The source of crystal coins in the settlement is generally to hunt dark beasts or collect various resources from the earth, and obtain them through transactions with caravans, so they are often subject to price reduction or exploitation.

Li Zhong knew what he thought when he recalled this information.

Li Zhong has a characteristic that he never owe others favors. Since Old Tom saved his life, Li Zhong will naturally repay him. Moreover, Li Zhong is very interested in the pharmacy of this world. If he can understand the principles, Li Zhong will be sure to quickly practice martial arts.

The old Tom looked at Li Zhong getting up from the bed, and without saying much, he turned around and walked outside, and said in a relaxed tone: "Come on, come on, Rick is all working."

Li Zhong's feet were not slow, and he immediately followed the footsteps of Old Tom. Li Zhong took a few steps and immediately felt a tingling pain in his body. After a moment of adaptation, he thought to himself: "The people in this world have a very good physique. A level 5 black warrior was traumatized and could actually walk so quickly. Although it was power of a potion, it was also very terrifying."

A trace of thoughts about the physical constitution of this world flashed through Li Zhong's mind, and then he followed Old Tom and disappeared into the cave house.

After walking out of the cave, Li Zhong immediately found that the place he was in was an underground tunnel. He didn't know what the ventilation system here was like. The air was very fresh and not stuffy at all. Along the way, he passed several forks. Sometimes a wooden door appeared on the wall of the cave with a door sign marked on it, which was a cave for people to live in.

Old Tom said to Li Zhong behind him: "We are an underground settlement with about a thousand people, mainly engaged in collecting ores, and exchange supplies with buyers from the city of Dusk and various mobile cities to survive. Of course, we will also grow some food ourselves, but it is only enough to maintain our basic living needs. One more person is a burden. I saved your life, but if you want to live here, you must work and fight for survival supplies for yourself, do you know?"

Li Zhong nodded and said with a look of unchanged expression: "I understand, thank you uncle."

When the old Tom heard this, he immediately turned around and said to Li Zhong: "Don't call me uncle, call me old Tom, I don't like being called uncle."

Li Zhong was speechless when he heard this.

While the two walked, Old Tom told Li Zhong about the situation here, which gave him a certain degree of understanding of the current situation of the underground settlement in the living area. He clearly realized that Li Zhong was an unlucky guy who had just come out of the city of Dusk and must have completely forgotten his life in the settlement.

In short, the settlement in the living area is a place where supplies are relatively scarce and there are no powerful figures. Most of them are warriors of the dark warrior level, and the strongest in the entire settlement is a warrior of level 15.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, passing through a tunnel of more than a kilometer, the two of them came to a huge hole, which was about a thousand feet in radius, with several wooden houses alone here, with the main force, with a wide door open, and it was obvious that it was a store-like place.

Old Tom took Li Zhong straight towards the largest store. There were many people in the void, including men and women, but most of them were in their thirties and forties. Everyone would say hello when they saw Old Tom and smiled.

"Hello old Tom."

"Old Tom, can your resuscitation potion be cheaper? I'm in a hurry to use it."

"Old Tom, my mother is sick, can you come and see it?"

"Old Tom, is your newly accepted apprentice behind you?"

Li Zhong didn't say anything, and followed Old Tom quietly along the way. Watching Old Tom have a cordial conversation with the people around him, it can be seen that Old Tom has a good reputation and high prestige.

It took a quarter of an hour for the two of them to pass through the crowd and come to the store. As soon as they entered the store, Li Zhong saw a young man sitting behind the counter bored. It was the first time Li Zhong saw when he woke up.

When Old Tom saw the boy, he immediately shouted: "Boy Rick, you are lazy again, why don't you recruit customers for me?"

When Rick heard Old Tom say this, he immediately shouted: "It's unfair. I've been recruiting customers very much, but your potions are too expensive, and there are very few people buying them. They all have to be on credit. How dare I sell them? I can only wait for the real rich people here."

When Old Tom heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "It's expensive, my potion resuscitation potion is only 500 degrees Crystal Coins, which is much cheaper than those vampire merchants in the city. Why don't they grab these bastards?"

Old Tom was indignant. In fact, Old Tom also knew that this place was just a settlement, and it was originally a place with a lot of qualifications and no outstanding talents, so naturally there was no spare money. The high-ranking warriors here could have some income by hunting the first-stage dark beasts and could buy his potions. Those who could only make a living by mining could not afford it, and sometimes they could only use credit.

In fact, Old Tom could have gone to the city for a long time, but he has been here for decades and is old, so he no longer wants to leave. If he leaves here, then more than a thousand people will definitely be exploited by those vampire merchants, and he can't bear it.

Old Tom still kept cursing: "This is a slut."
