After the fog, I became a birdman

"This market looks really good." Su Qing walked in the bustling underground market, "It's pretty deserted up there, I didn't expect the underground market to be so lively."

"After all, this year's dry season is much longer than last year's. The sun is so strong that everyone can't go out. If we keep everyone at home for several months, I'm afraid there will be problems." Brother Heng said with a smile.

"I knew I didn't have an umbrella." Jin Jin twirled the umbrella in her hand like a pen.

"So, your uncle is just worrying about it." Su Qing had a smile in his eyes.

Jin Jin dare not answer these words. After accepting Dad, he will immediately change his formation and stand on Uncle Qi’s side. Strictly speaking, Dad has always been with Uncle Qi’s side, but he likes to show his love by complaining. .

When he was at home before, he didn't understand this kind of sophistication and foolishly thought that he could win over his father, but now he couldn't believe it at all.

There were a lot of people selling things in the market, most of them were shops, but there were few stalls. Jin Jin looked a little puzzled: "If you don't go out all the time, how can you maintain your daily livelihood?"

"Our workshop will give some fabrics for battle clothes, and everyone will help cut and sew them at home." Brother Heng's brother-in-law roughly said, "There are also some farms in the city, and there are also recruiting workers there."

Jin Jin did the math, and felt that there were quite a few positions: "What about the others?"

"Anyway, I apply for the job according to the position sent out by the labor hall. If I can't get it, some will eat subsistence allowances, and some will work hard to save some money, and then buy a battle uniform. Every area in our city will have about three to five days. Organize a hunting operation, and then you can go out to hunt monsters, so that you can probably guarantee food for ten days, but this is risky, and there are still some death rates."

"High or low?" Jin Jin was a little curious.

"In the past, when everyone's strength was not high, the death rate was a little higher. Later, those who went out were all veterans, and their strength was a little higher than a few months ago, so the death rate has been decreasing." Brother Heng's brother-in-law smiled.

Jin Jin suddenly realized, looked at the people on the street, and found a commonality: "The people here are all hunting people, right?"

Brother Heng's brother-in-law nodded: "Yes, everyone has some spare money, and you can find some better supplies when you go out. Usually, you will go to the market to sell them after you get home. You can either sell them to the store or set up a stall yourself."

"Then what is the subsistence allowance?" Jin Jin asked curiously again.

"It's just a bowl of meat porridge every day, so I can guarantee that I won't die." Brother Heng and his brother-in-law knew everything.

It sounds good, but the awakened person eats a lot. Just a bowl of meat porridge every day is not enough to eat. If it goes on for a long time, maybe even the strength of the blood will be reversed. It is really just a guarantee that you will not die .

Seeing Jin Jin's silence, Brother Heng's brother-in-law thought he was distressed, thinking that he should be more soft-hearted when he was young, and explained: "Actually, people who are old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant can also receive subsistence allowances. The Labor Hall They will also set aside some jobs to maintain their lives. As long as they are not lazy, they can maintain a basic life. If they are diligent, they can save a little money. It’s not enough to eat the subsistence allowance, if you’re too lazy to eat the subsistence allowance...there’s nothing you can do, it’s the utmost benevolence in the city to ensure that they can survive.”

There was a hint of helplessness in his smile.

In fact, Jin Jin didn't feel distressed, but he was going to manage Heiwu City in the future, so he wanted to see if he could learn from it, so he asked carefully, and he was thinking about the pros and cons of being silent.

He was still thinking, so he just said thank you politely.

Brother Heng's brother-in-law thought he was upset, and looked at Su Qing nervously: "Young Master Su, this..."

Su Qing understood Jin Jin, shook his head lightly and comforted him: "It's nothing, he's just thinking about something."

"Thinking about something?"

"Yeah." Su Qing showed a proud smile, although she wasn't too proud on the surface, she couldn't help showing off, "My family, Jin Jin, is the master of Heiwu City, and he will take over as the city master in the future."

Santo? !

Brother Heng's brother-in-law was taken aback. The words "city lord" represent the overlord of one party. No matter how powerful the Shi family is, Mr. Shi is just on an equal footing with the generals.

Because of Su Qing's words, Brother Heng's brother-in-law respected Jin Jin even more, and he no longer dared to treat him like a child.

The father and son went shopping leisurely together, Su Qing spent money like water, and bought some interesting things directly, without noticing that there was a stall owner in an ice blue robe among the crowd who was carefully observing them.

To be precise, it was to observe Su Qing.

They strolled all afternoon, besides going to the market, they also went to sit in the park for a while, as Uncle Cheng said, the park is indeed very cool, especially the lake in the center of the park exudes a trace of cold Breath, is simply a summer resort.

There are also many people who come here to enjoy the shade, and almost every shady place is occupied by people. Brother Heng and his brother-in-law led them to search for a long time before finding a place to sit down.

But they didn't stay for too long, and then went to other places in Beicheng, looked at the labor hall and other places, and then went back.

Qi Jiang came back at night and rested for a night, and went to the big conference room in Beicheng with Su Qing early the next morning, and all he met were high-level officials in Beicheng, either the leader of some combat group or some general Well, the conversations are naturally those things, and there is almost no difference from the conversations in other cities before, but because Mr. Shi is the middleman, they are more honest with each other.

What's more special is that Shi Lao and the others wanted Beicheng to be the transmission center of the Tuka Continent. The current development of Beicheng is not bad, and with Shi Lao's face, Qi Jiang and the others had expected it, so they naturally agreed.

In the next few days, there was a new store belonging to the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce on the commercial street in Beicheng. Because Qi Jiang had other plans, although the new store was bought, it has not yet opened.

Because the transcontinental teleportation array is going to be built here in Beicheng, this one cannot be as casual as a large teleportation array, it is expected to take a few days, so Su Qing can't be as leisurely as the first day, and is so busy every day silhouette.

He has to be busy with the teleportation array, and Qi Jiang is also busy with the shop. Jin Jin can't help Su Qing, so he follows Qi Jiang to learn how to manage the shop.

Naturally, managing a shop is not enough to manage puppets, but they have no one else under them, so Qi Jiang gave Jin Jin a task, asking him to find a shopkeeper, three stewards, a cashier and ten waiters.

These people will replace the clerk puppets in the new store, and Jin Jin will be fully responsible for this store in the future. If there is a problem and it is not resolved as soon as possible, Qi Jiang will be held accountable.

Since it is to be managed by real humans, the defense measures of Beicheng Xindian cannot be sent away when encountering problems that cannot be dealt with as before, so some guards and defensive formations have to be added.

Everything cannot be done overnight, so Qi Jiang first replaced the guards with battle puppets, so when Jin Jin was busy outside, he went to get some battle puppets, not only added them to the new store in Beicheng, but also sent a few batches to Heiwu City store and the Sky Demon City store.

After the battle puppet was released, there was a small commotion, that is, Shi Luxuan heard that there was a half-step golden core puppet here, so he came here excitedly to provoke trouble, and then fought with the puppet, and then he was proud of his victory Throwing a large amount of compensation all over the floor, he left gracefully.

After him, there was another young man who also heard the news and came to pick things up. After going through all kinds of hardships and defeating other puppets in the Qi training period and foundation building period, he was beaten to the ground by a half-step Jindan puppet.

Later, many people came to make trouble deliberately, and Qi Jiang happened to be in the store, thinking that the left and right sides hadn't opened yet, so he simply threw the puppet outside the store to let them beat enough, and they could collect money and give it to the store for free. Advertising, why not do it?

It was Jinjin's first time doing business. He had heard about the grand occasion when the new store in Heiwu City opened before. Later, he even went to watch the spectacular scene in the store when the new store opened in Tianyao City. Qi Jiang and Su Qing I also told him how to open the new store before.

Therefore, Jin Jin also copied the grand opening of the new stores in Heiwu City and Tianyao City before, while following the gourd painting.

But after all, what he used was not a puppet but a real human being, so after two days there was a small problem.

Whether it is a big deal or a small thing, Uncle Cheng came to them and said that someone in the black market was selling things from their store, and the price was high. The key is that Uncle Cheng found out that the goods were not from the store. I bought it, but I don't know where it came from.

Although he didn't say it clearly, what Uncle Cheng meant was that something went wrong in their store.

Fortunately, Qi Jiang had already said hello before, and now this store is managed by Jin Jin, so everyone did not question the ability of the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce. After all, a child, just out of training, problems are inevitable.

After all, Jin Jin is the heir of Heiwu City. When he was in class on weekdays, he was not only learning about cultivation, but also about management, so he didn't go to Qi Jiang right away, but thought about it by himself. solution.

Just like that, among the three members of the family, Qi Jiang was the one who had the most leisure time.

It took Su Qing two or three days to set up the transcontinental teleportation array in Beicheng. After being busy for several days, he could finally have a good rest.

As soon as he came back, he heard that there was a problem with the new store.

"Then how does Jin Jin plan to solve it?" Su Qing lay in Qi Jiang's arms, eating ice cream very comfortably, and Qi Jiang gave him a massage. He really enjoyed it.

"He said he would check it himself." Qi Jiang took the drink away from Su Qing's hand, grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly a few times, "It's been a hard two days."

To be honest, Su Qing was actually not tired at all, but he still squinted his eyes in enjoyment: "Then how is Jin Jin's investigation going now?"

"I don't know." Qi Jiang didn't ask this. Anyway, if the child didn't ask for it, then nothing serious happened.

"Then let him come by himself." Su Qing nodded.

After a while, he started to discuss other things with Qi Jiang: "I'm going back to the Giant Forest to upgrade the teleportation array, I can't stay in Beicheng all the time, you can help me set up a cover tomorrow."

"Are you using the one-time teleportation array again?" Qi Jiang frowned, "After such a distance, I'm afraid it will be more uncomfortable this time."

"It can't be helped." Su Qing didn't want to go through another horrible shuttle trip, but he had to do what he had to do.

Speaking of this, he thought that Jinjin would often go back and forth between them and Heiwu City in the future, and if the teleportation array on Heiwu City was still a large teleportation array, it would not be able to teleport to other continents. You can only use a one-time teleportation array every time.

Just thinking about it, Su Qing felt painful: "Tell me, should we upgrade the teleportation array on the side of Heiwu City?"

Qi Jiang still felt sorry for Su Qing. In the past two or three days, Su Qing didn't take much rest, and often missed meals.

Don't look at Su Qing's understatement when he arranges the formation on weekdays, but Qi Jiang is very clear that this consumes a lot of mind, let alone spend a few days to arrange a more advanced teleportation formation.

But after thinking about it, Jinjin is the only child of their family, and Heiwu City is also one of Jinjin's lairs in the future. Even if he is only on an island, he should indeed upgrade to another level, from a large center to a transcontinental center.

"It's just that it will be hard for you again." Qi Jiang couldn't help sighing, "It would be great if the teleportation array can also be produced wholesale with puppets."

This is more difficult. Their current array production line doesn't even have a clue how to do it. The lowest-level arrays can't be wholesaled, let alone teleportation arrays?

The next morning, Su Qing rarely had breakfast with everyone.

Aunt Cheng was so distressed that she picked up a few chopsticks for him. Thinking that the old masters around were not around, she didn't abide by the rules of not eating and saying: "I didn't eat on time today. It's hard for Susu."

"It's not hard." Su Qing ate a few mouthfuls of the food that Aunt Cheng picked up, "Aunt Cheng, don't pick it up, there are enough dishes."

Aunt Cheng looked at the hill-like dishes in his bowl, and said with a smirk, "Okay, now that someone is taking care of you, I don't like Aunt Cheng anymore."

Aunt Cheng treated him very well before, Su Qing was a little embarrassed, but did not follow the words, but changed the subject: "By the way, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, I will go out in the next few days, just Don't wait for me to eat."

"What? I've been busy for a few days, and I haven't finished yet?" Uncle Cheng frowned, "Didn't you just reserve a seat?"

"Didn't our flying boat collide?" Su Qing pretended to be helpless, and said bitterly, "I have to look for any suitable materials and repair it when the time comes."

"What materials do you want? I'll go to the warehouse and look for it for you." Uncle Cheng felt that this was too hard, "You should rest first, and ask your dozen or so brothers for help if you need anything. The fifth room is already talking, if I keep you busy like this, I will be a big brother."

Su Qing laughed: "It's not that serious."

"You are in poor health, so let others take care of these things." Aunt Cheng clicked her tongue reproachfully, "I'll just listen to Uncle Cheng."

"My bones are already healed."

"Didn't it mean that you haven't recovered yet? If it's not completely cured, it means it's not cured." Aunt Cheng said without any rebuttal, "This body is yours, so you should pay more attention to it. If you can't get better, start tormenting."

"Your Aunt Cheng is right. If it goes back to its original state, no one can cure it."

Brother Heng and Sister Yuan also came to persuade him: "Su Su, be good, be obedient, just let us help you if you have something to do."

Su Qing didn't expect that she would come up with such a useless excuse. Fortunately, Qi Jiang came to the rescue in the end: "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, let him be busy."

"Qi Jiang, you can't spoil him like this." Aunt Cheng said disapprovingly, "You don't know that Susu was panting three times before this step, which made people worry. It finally got better, can't Let the disease repeat itself."

Qi Jiang smiled lightly and shook his head: "Of course I know, last year when Su Su's health didn't improve, I was the one who took care of him."

"Then you don't feel bad?" Sister Yuan frowned, as if accusing.

"Of course I feel distressed, but if Susu is really raised at home like a precious flower and plant, and he is not allowed to do anything, he will feel uncomfortable."

Su Qing nodded again and again, but Aunt Cheng felt that Su Qing was not doing nothing: "Haven't you been busy these days? Haven't done anything yet?"

Qi Jiang couldn't answer this question, Su Qing hurriedly answered: "That's a matter of work, what I'm busy with now is family matters, how can it be the same."

Now it was Aunt Cheng's turn and they couldn't refute. After two or three seconds, Sister Yuan looked at Jin Jin: "Jin Jin, tell me."

Jin Jin put down his chopsticks and swallowed the food in his mouth: "Of course, let Dad go out. Anyway, there is nothing that Dad wants to do. We are against it now. If he says we can't do it, we must let it go, but Maybe no one will be there the next day.”

Su Qing scolded the little bastard in her heart: When did I do such a thing?

Jin Jin noticed his eyes and lightly shrugged: a reasonable guess.

Sister Yuan laughed, and she didn't believe it at all: "My Susu has been a good child since she was a child, how could she do such a thing."

"Uncle is used to it." Jin Jin shrugged again.

Everyone on the table turned their eyes to Qi Jiang in shock, the corner of the latter's mouth twitched, and he kicked Jin Jin with a little guilt: I asked you to help, but I didn't ask you to help so much!

Now, no one really dared to object, and the dinner table became quiet again.

After dinner, Uncle Cheng asked Su Qing: "Qi Jiang can't leave here, why don't you wait a few days? Or should I send someone to go with you?"

"No, there are many battle puppets on our airship." Su Qing shook his head.

Uncle Cheng, the fighting puppet in the Beicheng shop, knows that most of them are Qi training and foundation building strength, and there is also a half-step golden pill, which is superior in strength.

Now the most powerful person in Beicheng happens to be Shi Luxuan, who has awakened seven times, and the second strongest is only awakened five times. His name is Zeng Guangluan. Both of them have gone to the store to challenge, and many strong men in Beicheng Tried the water.

Regarding this matter, Uncle Cheng knew the result, and even heard that some people in the city called these puppets "deposit puppets".

That is to say, how strong is it, you can tell it by playing a game. Although some people have awakened more times, their final strength is not as good as that of people who have awakened less times than themselves. This kind of situation is not uncommon.

This sounds quite fun, and the North City store has indeed become the favorite place for the strong in the North City, but few people would go to fight the puppet for the second time.

Because it's really embarrassing!

Beicheng has a seven-time awakening, a five-time awakening, and almost [-] four-time awakenings. It can be said that they are very strong, but with so many strong people, only two people can face the half-step golden core, and the others can't beat it at all. Those puppets in the foundation-building period, even most of the powerhouses, are no match for those puppets in the foundation-building period of the refining period. Less than one-tenth of them can let the puppets in the foundation-building period take action, and among these one-tenth people, only Less than ten people can fight against the puppet of the foundation establishment stage, and the rest are beaten by the puppet of the foundation establishment stage.

It can be said that the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce only needs to rely on its puppets to become the top power in Beicheng. The half-step Jindan puppet almost became the strongest in Beicheng. The name of the first strong man has to be given up.

This is a very embarrassing thing, but the attempt of the strong Beiheng also gave Su Qing and the others a research result, that is, the strength comparison between the cultivation system and the awakening system.

The strength of the cultivation system and the awakening system correspond in terms of realm. Generally speaking, although the cultivation system is slow to take effect, it can almost surpass the awakening system by a big realm.

For example, in the early stage of qi training, if there is a technique close by, it can actually be on an equal footing with those who have been awakened four times. The reason why the cultivation system has declined now is because the operation method of the technique has changed, and it needs to be re-studied.

The lack of spells has something to do with humans, but it has nothing to do with Su Qing's battle puppets, so the strength of the battle puppets can completely represent the cultivation system.

According to the strength of the challengers in the northern city, after the nine awakenings, the average person's strength is probably at the peak of the foundation building stage, and after the blood is integrated with the treasure ability, that is, after the complete awakening, it may be about half a step away from the golden core.

Of course, this comparison is generally speaking, that is, for ordinary people. For awakened people with high talents, the higher the talent, the more small realms they are ahead of the cultivation system.

For example, Shi Luxuan, his strength after awakening is a big realm ahead of ordinary people.

In other words, each of his awakenings corresponds to each small stage of the cultivation system. After nine awakenings, he will have the peak strength of Jindan.

For another example, most of the other North City powerhouses belong to the category of ordinary people, and only a few are talented enough, so there is nothing shameful that everyone can't beat the puppets in the foundation period.

Back to the topic, there are many things in Beicheng, and Mr. Shi has always been very busy, so Uncle Cheng is in charge of the Shi family most of the time.

In fact, he is very fond of those fighting puppets, who can guard houses and train their children. Based on their relationship with Su Qing, he doesn't beat around the bush: "Susu, can you sell some of your puppets to us?"

The puppets at the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce couldn't be left outside for everyone to play with for a long time. He wanted to buy some back and build a training ground in Shi's house.

"Jinjin is now the president of the North City Branch... the North City branch." Su Qing smiled and shook her head, "I can't decide this matter, you have to talk to Jinjin."

When Jin Jin heard his name, he put down his chopsticks again, and swallowed the food in his mouth: "The production of puppets in the chamber of commerce is very low, and the price is relatively expensive. If you want to buy them, Grandpa Cheng, you should be mentally prepared for them." OK."

"What's the price?"

This Jinjin did his homework. In fact, his master Hei Wu bought several puppets before, and he also saw the pricing in the account book, so he roughly talked about the pricing of household puppets, and then mentioned the combat puppets .

This cost is higher, and the price is also rising. The lowest strength means that the price of the foundation building floor is almost [-] or [-] times that of the furniture. The strength of the battle puppets is [-]%, and the price is almost doubled. Talk about a half-step golden elixir.

Uncle Cheng was speechless: "So expensive?"

Everyone at the main table felt that the price was very expensive, and the people at the side table gasped when they heard it.

This is too expensive, a half-step golden elixir is a small spiritual vein.

This is naturally expensive, puppets with strength in the Qi training period and foundation building period are okay, at least they can be mass-produced, half-step golden elixir really cannot be produced on the production line, Su Qing and the others probably know how to do it with the strength of golden elixir , but they calculated the cost and retreated.

It's not worth it to exchange a medium-sized spirit vein for a golden core.

Although the spirit veins mentioned here are low-grade spirit veins, it cannot be denied that the cost of Jindan puppets is really high. For Su Qing and the others, this is not necessary, so they simply don't do it.

The second best half-step golden pill... To be honest, it is still super invincible and fierce, just look at the results of the challenges of so many strong men in Beicheng.

Uncle Cheng thought for a while, although the half-step golden elixir is not effective in training for others, but his son Shi Luxuan can use it, it's just a small spiritual vein, it's not impossible to buy it!

In the end, Uncle Cheng bled heavily and bought a half-step Golden Core puppet, ten foundation-building stage puppets, and twenty Qi-training stage puppets.

The half-step golden elixir has to be made by Qi Jiang or Su Qing. Su Qing must not be free, so he can only sell it after Qi Jiang is done. Jin Jin pretends to take out a tablet and write it down: " The order is placed, wait for your payment, and after a few days, the chamber of commerce will send the puppet over."

Thinking of spending so much money, Uncle Cheng was quite nervous: "About a few days?"

"The shortest is three days, and the longest is seven days. It depends on whether the chamber of commerce has stock."

"That's not too long." Uncle Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you and grandpa go and count."

"So fast?" Su Qing didn't expect Uncle Cheng to be so swift and decisive.

"Brother Xuan, it only took one month to break through the seventh awakening from the sixth awakening, but now he has stayed on the seventh awakening for two months." Uncle Cheng is still very anxious, "He said he felt that he had encountered a bottleneck , if there is a puppet as a training partner, this bottleneck should be overcome sooner."

The people in Beicheng also used the method of accumulating energy from the beast core. According to Su Qing's conclusion, if brother Xuan's energy accumulation is really enough, he should be able to awaken again.

Brother Xuan must have an awakening treasure, and the method of accumulating energy in the animal core can also ensure sufficient stimulation of the blood vessels. If the conditions are met, if it cannot be awakened, then there should be other conditions that have not been met.

If it wasn't because awakening really had some requirements such as the mastery of bloodline abilities, it could only be because of the bloodline race.

It should be noted that the awakening of human bloodlines is mostly awakened bloodlines of other races, which is equivalent to the rebirth of an alternative race. Since there is this classification, it is normal for awakening to have requirements for the type of energy or the attributes of awakened treasures.

Su Qing roughly summed up what he knew about his own and other people's experiences. Uncle Cheng knew about the racial bloodlines.

"Then let me see if there are any items related to the fairy clan in the warehouse." After Uncle Cheng finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Su Qing is also of the blood of the fairy clan, "Susu, you have awakened eight times now, how did you awaken at that time?"

Su Qing was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he and Qi Jiang have been walking smoothly all the time, and have never encountered this problem. After all, what they comprehend is at the level of laws, which is a bit high and has a relatively large impact, so they really can't be used as refer to.

"Brother Jiang and I have never encountered any problems in our awakening." Su Qing looked a little confused.

Crowd:......

"Is there no problem at all?" Aunt Cheng was very surprised.

Su Qing said seriously: "The biggest problem is probably how to find the best awakening treasure for us, otherwise we won't be running around the world."

"..." Aunt Cheng regretted asking this question.

Everyone didn't blame him, and they didn't think about whether he was hiding something. What's more, they were a little hit, and their hearts skipped a beat.
