Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

In fact, the bar area is not just bars. Apart from the avenue that runs from east to west, there are also a large area of ​​residential buildings bordering on the southern part of the city in the south, and a dozen or so apartment buildings close together in the north.

This alien apartment building is a bit similar to the Huaxia Kingdom on Earth. It is a commercial and residential building. Of course, the environment is much worse, and there is usually no electricity.

The apartment building in the bar area is owned by Viscount Darcy's family. The floor specifications are similar to the self-built buildings in Huaxia townships in the last century. The highest floor is four floors, and the floor height is only a little over two meters. There are five suites, the kitchen and toilet are common, with gas and running water, managed by a deacon of Viscount Darcy's family, and the monthly rent for each suite is four silver coins.

The rent is not expensive, but it is still a relatively heavy burden for ordinary people. Most of the residents in the apartment building are shared by two families, and the population density is only slightly lower than that of the market area.

The new lord has sealed off more than [-]% of the bars on the street, which has a certain impact on the residents in the apartment building area, because many of the people living here rely on this bar area not far from their residences to make a living.

The Berkeley family, who lived in Room 11 on the second floor of Block 201, was severely affected by the seizure of the bar area.

The Berkeley brothers and sisters who rent 201 together with a young couple. The older brother Becky was a handyman in a bar, with a monthly income of seven and a half silver coins. The younger sister Kate is good at making spicy side dishes and sells them along the street every night. You can also earn thirty or forty copper coins.

Before the arrival of the new lord, the combined income of the brothers and sisters can still maintain a better life than ordinary citizens, and meat stars can be seen on the dining table from time to time.

After the new lord arrived, his elder brother Becky lost his job directly, and his younger sister Kate could only go to the streets of Nancheng District, two blocks away, to sell drinks and snacks, and the business was quite poor - there were already regular sellers there It is unwelcome for outsiders like Kate to rush over rashly.

Having been unable to make ends meet for more than a week, the mood of the Berkeley brothers and sisters is getting worse day by day.

For lunch on this day, in order to save money, the brothers and sisters only had mashed potatoes with a little salt, boiled corn kernels and sandwiches with leftover side dishes on their plates.

After hastily eating, his elder brother Becky said dully to try his luck in Beicheng District, then picked up his coat and went out.

Kate didn't speak, and silently picked up the dishes and washed them.

The factories in Beicheng District are not easy to enter, and you can't enter without the introduction of acquaintances, unless the brothers and sisters can afford to ask someone to intercede.

This money, it’s not impossible to get it together... The brothers and sisters never spend money extravagantly, and they still have some savings, but the parents in the country are still waiting for them to bring money back to buy a cow for the family, neither of them can open this Use the mouth of the deposit.

While Kate was washing the dishes, the shared couple came out of a separate room looking sombre.

"Good day, Kate." Seeing Kate, the couple who rented together forced themselves to smile at her together.

Kate saw that they were much more enthusiastic than usual, and knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next couple apologized and said their decision... There are only ten days in this month, and if they can't find a new job within these ten days, then they can only give up their plan to work in the city , went back to the countryside.

The couple sincerely apologized to Kate, and they both went out side by side, continuing to embark on their bewildered employment journey.

Kate put down the plate feebly.

If the couple who rented together left, the brothers and sisters would also have to consider moving out... The rent of four silver coins a month plus the gas bill shared with the other families on the same floor was too much of a burden for the Berkeley brothers and sisters.

Depressed for a while, Kate pulled herself together and finished the housework, tidied her hair, put on her cloak and went out.

During this period of time, she went to the streets of Nancheng District every day, and Kate saw many restaurants that were still open. She decided to try her luck... If there is any restaurant that can appreciate her skill in making side dishes, then maybe she can Get a job with housing - most restaurants will provide housing for their employees.

From the apartment building area to Nancheng District, you need to cross the street in the bar area. When Kate came out of the alley, she was surprised to find that the street that had been deserted for many days was actually bustling again.

"Could it be that the closed bar can open again?" Kate thought excitedly, stopping to look around.

Soon, Kate realized something was wrong.

Most of the facades are closed, only the facades on both sides of the street in the middle are open.

Although the door was opened, it didn't look like it was reopened at all.

Kate subconsciously walked more than ten meters to the section with the most crowds, and she saw that the original bar signs of those stores were either removed or covered by cloth.

There are a large number of them, and they are exaggeratedly stretched several meters. On the large cloth, there are marked "Second Copper Hypermarket", "Second Copper Jewelry Store", "Second Copper Tofu Store", "Fifth Copper Parity Store", "Ten Copper Bronze boutique" and other prominent fonts painted in red paint.

Kate approached curiously, and didn't stop until she reached the periphery of the crowd.

It's not that she doesn't want to see what kind of business the newly opened stores are running, and ask if the bosses need to hire small workers, but the crowd is too dense, and Kate has no place to squeeze.

Among the crowd that blocked the whole section of the road, from time to time, there were broken roars such as "don't rush, there are plenty of goods", "one for stealing and ten for ten".

These roars were all women's voices... Kate's little face hidden under the hood of the cloak became more and more startled.

Kate has never seen a woman who dares to speak so loudly to people other than her husband in public. Whether it is in the city or the country, if a woman is so aggressive outside the house, her reputation will be very bad. .

The weird thing is, it's not just a woman's voice...

Just when the young Kate was extremely curious about the things found inside the heavy crowd of people, but couldn't see anything, there was a burst of cursing from the side, and a few people who had returned with a full load squeezed out forcefully from the thick crowd of people.

Kate glanced sideways at the few rude people, and saw that they were all men dressed as servants of good people, so she quickly stepped aside.

The male servants from Midtown are less to be provoked than the City Superintendent, and no one knows who their master will be.

These sweaty male servants had no time to care about those civilians who opened their mouths and cursed. They all carried a lot of things in their arms and left in a hurry.

Kate swallowed, and became even more curious about the "stores" in the crowd where even the servants of good families rushed to buy... The business is so good, there must be a shortage of manpower, right?

Wait a little longer, squeeze in and ask if there are fewer people.

Kate waited patiently outside the crowd for more than 20 minutes...

Then, not only did she not wait until there were fewer people, but she was pushed further away by more and more people.

Workers in the Nancheng District, Dongcheng District, Xicheng District, and even the Beicheng District who wore overalls appeared on this street...

Kate was desperately pushed farther and farther away from the store area by the increasingly dense and emotional crowd...

When she was about to retreat to the alley leading to her house, Kate saw two women standing by the side of the road.

One is a lady wearing a long skirt that covers the instep, and a layer of gorgeous lace gauze is covered outside the long skirt, and the other is a lady dressed as a housekeeper.

Normally, if Kate saw someone wearing such a beautiful long dress on the street, she would definitely stare at him enviously for a long time, but at this moment, Kate is only worried that among so many people flocking to this street, there will be no Someone would beat her one step and snatch a good job in the store, just take a look and then look away, puffing her feet pitifully and looking in the direction of the store worriedly.

When Kate looked away disapprovingly... The housekeeper, Ms. Will, who was less than five meters away from her in a straight line, heard the hostess taking a deep breath through her nose.

Ms. Will lowered her head silently, not daring to look at the face of the hostess.

There are indeed many commoner women on this street who would envy Mrs. Gerry's beautiful long dress, but... Few of the commoners who come and go look at her more, and many people have not even noticed her existence. ...

Mrs. Gerry, she was indeed quite vain in the past, but she was not as exaggerated as she is now.

During the operation of that mysterious photo studio, Mrs. Gerry, who "restored" her "natural beauty" by those mysterious makeup artists, enjoyed the treatment of being the focus of attention wherever she went for a while. After that , Mrs. Gerry's mentality is a little out of balance...

Unable to appreciate the obvious and intense attention before, this lady, who couldn't help but want to show her presence, became increasingly anxious.

"go back."

When Mrs. Gerry gritted her teeth and said these two words, Ms. Will knew that the Gerry's house would not be too peaceful tonight.

Sure enough, Mrs. Gerry couldn't bear to see anyone this afternoon, and almost scolded the maid Claire to tears.

When Mr. Gerry returned home after work at 04:30, he was also caught by his wife and made fun of him secretly.

Mr. Gerry is quite used to his wife's temper, but he is not in a good mood recently, and he is tired of hearing it, so he left the house without eating dinner and left the house without saying "party with so-and-so".

It is rare for Mrs. Gerry and Mrs. Gerry not to have an important dinner together. Mrs. Gerry feels very wronged. Even Ms. Will, the housekeeper, is used as a punching bag by her to criticize...

Mr. Gerry, who escaped from his family, called a stagecoach to visit friends in another middle-class neighborhood in Xicheng District.

Entering a friend's house, drinking two glasses of wine in the study with a friend who also works in the city hall, Mr. Gerry, who has an annual income of more than [-] gold coins, is a decent urban middle-class elite no matter who looks The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I thought no matter who became the lord, it wouldn't affect us. We were so naive before."

"Yes." A friend who was in the same situation smiled wryly, "The current new lord doesn't pay much attention to people like us... No, it's already despising, and he doesn't take us seriously at all-I am the Royal Academy I don’t even know how to tell my wife about this kind of humiliation, the new lord actually got an undead to be my boss.”

"I'm not the same." Mr. Gerry's face was no longer as usual, and he pointed to his nose with resentment, "It's unbelievable that I will be assigned to be a prostitute!"
