The standard buildings that make up the slums are all official low-rent housing forms, which is an architectural model that maximizes the use of space—of course, spacious and bright lighting, air scenery, etc. are not included in it. The designer's only concept, It was repeatedly emphasized N times from the mouth of the bloated superior who is more potbellied than Juantu:
"I only have one fucking request for your design, just stuff as many people as possible into it! Stuff, stuff, stuff!! Just stuff it to the point where you can't even squeeze a postage stamp, go Fucking art, beautiful and comfortable! Even if you build this place into a presidential suite, the poor ghosts who live in these houses will never pay an extra penny!"
It is said that a total of 230 design proposals appeared at that time, and the final bidder was an unknown designer. The only reason why he was shortlisted was that he referred to the architectural layout of Tokyo, Japan at its most prosperous time on the ancient earth...
Therefore, all residential areas in the North District have the same appearance. Everyone should have seen a modern chicken farm. There are a lot of chickens, and the building materials are durable and practical, so they are all black, so the North District has another name, that is, black chicken cages.
The giant conveyor belt did not spread to the North District, because the cost of this thing is also not low. After Sheyan and old Charlie walked off the conveyor belt in the middle of the street, they saw a very chaotic and noisy area, which was almost as lively as the vegetable market. , all kinds of people talked with each other with fake smiles on their faces, but what they said was very hidden or even absurd. For example, Sheyan heard someone ask "How much are two eggs?"
OK, the question may be a bit wrong, but it looks normal, but the answer is very abnormal, another voice actually replied:
"Forty ears..."
Only later did Sheyan know from old Charlie's "translation" that the so-called "egg" refers to the grenade, and the ear refers to a kind of local baked bread, which is shaped like an ear. Such a weird way of dialogue is almost comparable to the bandits before liberation who met each other face to face and came up with a few slang words of "the king of heaven and the tiger of the earth".
As old Charlie led Fang Sheyan deep into this area, Fang Sheyan noticed that after going deep into this ghostly place, it is really easy to get lost because of the uniformity of the buildings, and all the eyes see are exactly the same buildings. Lots of people of different colors at all times.
And there are many strange eyes staring at him from around, some questioning, some envy, some doubts, some disgust, some anger... Fang Sheyan can feel that most of these eyes are directed at this strange face of his own, so it is better to change it before going out. Otherwise, I'm afraid the feeling of being surrounded will be stronger.
However, Fang Sheyan was calm and composed, ignoring these gazes, while old Charlie quietly huddled behind his coat and hat, without even raising his eyelids. After fingering, the two were able to move on.
Soon, Sheyan finally saw a different building, but the difference of this thing is also limited, simply speaking, it is an unfinished building. To enter here, Sheyan and old Charlie both paid 30 Imperial Coins for the review, which is almost equivalent to the purchasing power of 300 RMB.
After entering this unfinished building, old Charlie finally broke the silence and said:
"Master, this is the best place you want to experience. Someone will come in later to deliver food. After eating, there will be a black market auction today, and then you should go back."
Sheyan nodded and said with a smile:
"Auction? Then I have to see if I have enough money. You must know that the richest millionaires are born in the slums."
Fang Senyan's statement is not unfounded. There is a very strange phenomenon that people with high education usually work for low education. Jobs was an abandoned baby. Before he was adopted, he stayed in an orphanage in a poor area. Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who played for the Premier League team, was also born in an ordinary businessman's family, so if you underestimate the underground black market in the slums, you really have to be careful of hitting a wall.
Fang Sheyan was talking to old Charlie, while being led inside, only then did he realize that the unfinished building was just a cover for the outside, and the inside was actually repaired into a rather nice small theater form, and one could even watch it condescendingly from the seats in the box. Going to the street—although there is nothing to see on this street, but overlooking the bustling people with numb expressions below, there is still a kind of high pleasure.
At this time, there were not many people sitting in the private room. It didn't take long before someone brought food. First of all, a basket of steamed pastries came out, but the processing was very rough, although it tasted lightly fragrant. , but lacks delicate taste.
This stuff is ground into powder with cassava, blended, stirred, fermented and steamed. It is neither hard nor soft. When it comes out, it is eaten with the seasoning on the side. The seasoning is a kind of gravy called nyama. The soup uses chicken Wagyu beef, and the meat of other animals can also be used for gravy.
Old Charlie reminded Sheyan that it is best not to dip in the gravy here, because with the expansion of the population, the supply of necessities such as food will inevitably be in short supply, so the meat used for seasoning is likely to be rat meat. Rat hair and guts and the like don't matter.
Sheyan also felt that the way to eat it was very novel. This fruit was about the size of a grapefruit. The top cover was cut off, and then a few drops of soy sauce was poured into it, and eaten with a spoon. It was very crispy and refreshing. The combination of soy sauce and pulp creates a very peculiar taste.
After the meal is full, a glass of brown-red wine is served at the end, called Hanishi.
According to the introduction of old Charlie, above the eighth star of Andromeda, there is a kind of hanishi tree in the peculiar climate environment in the north, which can bear unique sour fruits. Every spring and early summer, people on the planet collect the hanishi fruit. rise, the pulp is extracted, sweetened and fermented.
Then the extracted Hanesh wine is preserved in oak barrels for 2 years, waiting for aging. Finally, the alcoholized wine is perfectly blended with fresh cream, thus making this smooth and unique flavor. kind of wine.
Fang Sheyan picked it up and took a sip. He felt thick and sweet. After drinking it directly, he took a sip. The tip of his tongue first tasted the sweetness of milk, and then the taste buds on both sides of his tongue felt a slight bitterness similar to coffee. When the wine reached his throat, he would feel to fiery passion.
When Sheyan was eating, the seats in the arena were nearly three-quarters full, and a very thin bearded man came to the middle, took off his hat and said:
"Gentlemen, because we have just received news that a big person is visiting this evil place full of opportunities, and it is estimated that law and order will be implemented soon, so we don't need to wait for anyone, and hold this auction in advance. "
With a dull knocking sound, three women came up first, um, naked women. Although Fang Senyan is an adult man, because Youzi is used as a reference in the front, the requirements must be relatively high. He is not interested in these vulgar fans, so of course he will pass directly.
The following auctions were nothing more than drugs, weapons and other contraband. Sheyan was drowsy after watching it, but fortunately, special products smuggled from some planets began to appear soon. Sheyan was surprised to find unknown strange things in these auction items. Items, and it's the kind of high-end item that can be sold for 5 merit points!
This unknown strange object comes from the eighth planet of Centaurus, where the air density is very high, almost living things move in it, just like wandering in water. On that planet, there is a creature with few natural enemies called the elephant whale.
The unknown strange thing Fang Sheyan got was that another parallel world began to overlap with the main plane, and the entry point happened to be on the planet, and an elephant whale was hit by the derived space-time rift, of course it died immediately, but its giant Ya didn't know why, but he survived in the terrifying turbulence.
In terms of economic value, this thing is of course dilapidated and not worth mentioning, but in the eyes of others, it is a waste product that is invaluable to Fang Sheyan. Fortunately, there is no one to compete with Fang Senyan. .
What was sold next made Fang Sheyan dumbfounded! But the people who bought it were still flocking to it and donated generously. It turned out that the auction was an edited video material! This information is nothing else than a series of experiences on the planet Eplos that was captured from the first perspective of old Charlie's eyes. It depicts the richness of mineral deposits, and of course, the natural environment on the planet Eplos and so on.
In the end, this item was sold at a sky-high price. Of course, it also proved that the person in charge here is indeed so powerful that he can even get this kind of item.
The grand finale that came out next surprised everyone. It was a miniature individual mecha, and it was a standard in the army! Although the growth rate of this thing is only marked as seven times, it still looks brand new, and all kinds of weapons are also intact. It is definitely not the castrated version!
Obviously, nine out of ten people present want to get this thing. Who would dislike the fact that their subordinates are too weak? But when the crowd was outraged, a hoarse voice said sharply:
"I want this thing, bring it to me."
