Konoha's strongest substitute user

In the end, City of Fire lived up to Dongxing's expectations, and could even be said to have overfulfilled its mission.

This is a city where tradition and present are mixed together, with various dislocations and at the same time making people feel harmonious.

It's like hiking in the deep mountains and old forests, stepping on mossy bluestones to visit ancient temples. I feel that I have been far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. When I return to the time hundreds of years ago, I suddenly see a wire in the courtyard of the temple. When I raised my head, I saw that electric wires were climbing over the temple wall and leading to the outside world. The temple, which had glass windows instead of papered wooden frame windows, was still lit by the light of incandescent lamps. It's a feeling of intertwining modernity and history, but it doesn't make people feel weird, it just takes it for granted, and then laughs at how deeply influenced it is by the environment.

This is the feeling that this city of fire brings to Eastern Star.

There is a mixture of modern and traditional scenes everywhere. When you first come in from outside the city wall, the apartment buildings are relatively dense. As you go inside, there are fewer modern buildings. There are four or five storeys high and low buildings everywhere. Exquisite Japanese-style small buildings with a height of 1.2 to 3 stories. Most of the small buildings even have a tree planted in the courtyard. Perhaps this is a popular trend among the petty bourgeoisie in the City of Fire who have enough money to afford such a house.

Led by officials who came to greet the ninjas sent by Konoha Village, Dongxing and his group walked through what looked like a mid- to high-end residential area and walked onto a spacious street with a strong commercial atmosphere.

Different from the tea street or leisure street in Konoha Village, the streets here are wider and the shops on both sides are very dense. The front houses usually have at least two floors for facades. Dongxing also sees the kind of buildings facing the street here. The entire wall of the store is made of glass, and it seems to sell all kinds of colorful candies.

Just from the store, Dongxing could already tell that there was an aura of tranquility that was incompatible with the turbulent ninja world.

The City of Fire is indeed a city that Dongxing feels very familiar with.

The most unfriendly place in Dongxing is the street itself.

To be honest, no matter how you look at it, the technology tree in Naruto World feels a bit crooked.

Electric energy is obviously very popular, and even household appliances such as televisions have appeared, but there are no cars on the streets.

In such a city, those who carry people and pull goods on the streets are actually horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, or human-powered handcarts and pallet carts. As for the bullock cart, it was a luxury item only used by wealthy and distinguished families.

Unlike Dongxing who had eaten and met before, Ino could not hold back her excitement as she entered the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu: "Wow, this place is more prosperous than the village."

The official leading the way smiled and replied: "Of course, the City of Fire is the most prosperous city in the Land of Fire. Under the wise leadership of His Highness the Daimyo, the City of Fire is also the most prosperous city in the world."

Dongxing shuddered, remembering what the Daimyo once said about him.

Now looking at the official in front of him who is probably full of fake smile proficiency and flattery proficiency and has a platinum badge, Dongxing feels that it was really embarrassing for the daimyo to compare himself with the officials under him, not to mention flattering him. Can't compare.

Shikaku lowered his head slightly and glanced at Ino with the corner of his eyes, and then returned to his calm gaze: "Please tell me how long it will take to reach Daming Mansion."

The official who led the way bowed very politely and replied: "It takes about half an hour to walk. The Daming Palace is not far from the castle tower. You can see how far it is when you look up. The City of Fire is relatively close. Big, please be patient.”

Today's meeting is in the Daming Palace, not the castle tower. It will only be held in the castle tower when the many details of the cooperation between Konoha and the City of Fire are officially negotiated. This is also a typical high-power aristocratic class bullshit. Although this is indeed a display of power, respect for visitors to Konoha Village and the need to standardize etiquette.

The so-called castle tower is the largest building in the entire Fire City, equivalent to a royal palace, and a symbol of the daimyo's power. The Daming Mansion we are going to today is similar to the Daming Villas and Summer Resorts. The architectural style is more refined than majestic. It is suitable for receiving distinguished guests in an informal setting and appears cordial.

As the main person in charge of this negotiation, Shikaku had already lowered Ino's score a bit in his mind.

Momentum is very important in negotiations. Ino's words just now have lowered the aura in Konoha Village to a lower level. Although the official leading the way should not be a powerful person, there must never be another similar situation. behavior, otherwise Konoha will automatically be in a very unfavorable state for negotiations at the negotiation table.

Shikaku glanced at Dongxing again, his curiosity suddenly aroused.

Konoha rarely receives missions that require entering the City of Fire to complete, because the City of Fire itself has sufficient capabilities to deal with various emergencies.

The vast majority of Konoha ninjas will never have anything to do with the City of Fire throughout their lives. It is Kujo Tosei's age who makes a voice of inexperience like Ino or just looks for new things that interest him like Choji. The normal state of ninjas in Duan. But Kujo Tosei's expression didn't look like he was new or shocked by the prosperity of the City of Fire. Instead, he looked at it with scrutiny and appreciation. Moreover, after only looking around for a short while, Kujo Tosei lowered his head and didn't know what he was looking at. thing.

Anyway...it's just weird.

The official always maintained a position half a body behind Shikaku to guide everyone, while Dongxing slowly wandered to the end of the team doing the same thing as Choji. How could he not come to such a prosperous city? Let’s find some delicious-looking restaurant and have a feast.

Dongxing came with a goal that even Shikaku didn't know this time.

The cooperation between Konoha and the City of Fire has been confirmed. Now, looking at the prosperity of the City of Fire, it is not feasible to compete with these businessmen in the City of Fire in the new city just by relying on some of the favorable policies that the village can win. Yes, we must personally experience the living standards here, do market research, and try to come up with some products that are popular with the masses but that no one has made yet.

On the one hand, it is necessary to find ways to make Konoha more profits.

On the other hand, after Benben's way of eating money changed, Dongxing was not short of money, but needed it more.

Because just now, shortly after entering the City of Fire, the system unlocked a new function store function.

In a sense, Benben can continue to be raised with ordinary money, because the current store sells iron treasure chests and keys, and there is also a deposit machine, which is probably used to upgrade the store level through deposits.

As for the price of the iron treasure chest and keys... one million taels each, which can be said to be very nice. The reward for an entire S-level mission is probably enough to open the iron chest twice at most. It is really a bargain. .

Looking at the store interface, Dongxing shed tears of poverty in his heart. Could you please give me back the ordinary, watered-down banknotes that I gave to Benben before...
