Chapter Four
Shanglin Flower Market.
During the day, it is a flower trading market; in the night, it is a famous underground trading venue for the starry plane.
Loren walked on the spacious Shanglin Flower Street and merged into the bustling crowd. Since he came here at night, he was naturally a member of the traders in the black market.
The buzzing voices came one after another, like bubbles on the boiling water surface.
The fragrance of flowers that have not yet dissipated is mixed with the surrounding smell of tobacco, sweat odor, cologne and other smells, forming a unique atmosphere here.
The air flowing around has a tear feeling that is about to move. If you have enough sense of smell, you can also find the faint bloody smell hidden in the deepest part of the breath...
Ordinary people are definitely not used to such an environment.
But for the sake of life and to pay off debts, Loren has long been accustomed to the habits that he shouldn't have gotten used to.
His hat was covered with his robe, lowering his hat brim, and his whole face was hidden in the shadows, harmoniously integrating into the vast crowds of people entering the long street.
At the end of the long street, there is a towering clock tower. It is a normal clock during the day, and at night, the twelve grids of the clock will change into a pattern, which represents one plane, and the pattern shows the current time and weather of the plane.
Walking to the middle of the long street, Loren turned into a branch alley. The alley was more lively than the long street, and it stretched forward like a maze. If you look down from the sky, Loren seemed to walk into a spider web flashing in the dark.
Deep in the spider web, Loren stopped in front of a small shop called "Siguo Cliff". He looked at the exhibits in the window, pretending to be interested, and then slowly walked in.
In fact, he is a regular customer here. He has seen these exhibits thousands of times, but he is used to being cautious.
If a businessman in the black market is not in a bad mood, he will not be able to own a store for a long time, and the owner of Siguo Cliff is no exception.
However, in the past long-term transactions, Loren locked in Siguo Cliff as the key trading target, because the owner Qiao Ge here is considered a kind person in the black-hearted world.
Behind the door is a large screen with Qiao Ge's motto written on it:
Time is just a quiet time, and life is always full of troubles! - A scumbag with the most positive values
The font is flying and phoenix danced. Loren used to recognize it for a long time before he could understand the truth about this negative energy.
Bypassing the screen and looking at the shop, the guy looking up and saw that it was Loren. He just nodded slightly, then lowered his head again and continued to disassemble a strange-looking pocket watch.
Loren walked straight forward and pushed open the door at the end of the store. It was a small office. Qiao Ge was sucking in the clouds and fog, carving something on a card.
Both sides did not say hello, Loren sat down on the other side of the desk, then took out three blue cards and pushed them in front of Qiao Ge.
Qiao Ge stopped working and picked it up casually. He had already put a round lens on his right eye. After careful observation, he put down the card and said, "The quality is as good as ever, the best Wutong, three hundred contribution points."
Loren said: "Old Qiao, isn't kind, has the price been reduced again?"
Qiao Ge lit another cigarette: "Falcon, the price of wood elements continues to fall..."
The Falcon is the code name of Loren in the dark world.
Loren interrupted the other party: "But this is the best quality!"
Qiao Ge rubbed his gray curly hair: "Falcon, this is the market. As a long-term partner, I won't cheat you because of this little money. Otherwise, don't always be a tree. Recently, in the world of low-level planes, green elements have been oversupply."
Loren stared at the white bird nest on Qiao Ge's head and laughed: "Old Qiao, are you suggesting me change my career?"
"It's not about changing one's career, it's about having multiple skills," Qiao Ge bit the cigarette and finally looked up to meet Loren's gaze. "As the Creator and a member of the main plane world, we should have created more for the world below!"
He poked his finger down and hit the wooden table, making a muffled sound like a drum, which was unpleasant, but it was very consistent with the rhythm of his tone: "For example, you can try to find artistic elements, make music cards, literary cards, etc., those have been very popular recently, and you can buy them at a high price!"
Loren's smile remained unchanged: "Old Qiao, I have artistic elements in my hand. Will I still come to your small broken shop?"
Qiao Ge's eyes lit up because he found a key point. Falcon just said that he lacked artistic elements and did not say that he could not do it. If he was still an art architect, his value would be different.
But Loren immediately understood the other party’s thoughts: “You’re thinking too much, Old Qiao!”
The joking look, the subtext is clearly: I have the talent for artistic construction, and I will not come to your broken store either!
Qiao Ge thought to himself, and laughed at it, and said, "Of course, you can also consider emotional cards, joys, anger, sorrows, etc., which can be sold at a good price."
Loren's smile gradually disappeared: "That's already related to the soul learning part! Soul architect? Emotional architect? Oh my God, Lao Qiao, what's wrong with you today? You are just a small shop owner, you shouldn't be thirsty!"
Qiao Ge's smile also disappeared: "Indeed! There is another person who is eager to seek talent. There is a group that is recruiting people to build a low-level plane. Because they are anxious, they are at a good price and lack talents from all aspects. The key point is that they do not need any architect license!"
He looked at Loren with a burning gaze, waiting for the other party's response.
Loren calmly met the other party's gaze. Qiao Ge knew that he was short of money and was throwing out bait.
But how can the architectural work of the low-level plane world be so easy to do?
Generally speaking, people in the main plane world will choose to travel spiritually when they go to the lower plane. Even if their spiritual body occurs in an accident in the lower plane, their body will be damaged, but it is not fatal.
However, if you go to a low-level plane creation and construct the world, you must go to the original body and travel through the original body. Once an accident occurs, you will truly die and die in a foreign land.
The risk is high, and the reward is naturally generous!
Loren remembered his embarrassing financial situation, the full tuition fee, and the monthly debt... Finally, he took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "What price?"
Qiao Ge's mouth slowly curled up, and a smile gradually appeared: "Where do you have to look at what kind of job? If it is a special category, like the very scarce soul architects and emotional architects recently, that's a good price..."
Loren interrupted with a smile: "Old Qiao, I know you are charging Party A for recommendation fees according to the total price ratio, but stop the unnecessary test, okay? I am just a wooden element architect, and the earth element is in the mountain range category, and I also have a little understanding of it. I don't have any license, what is the price?"
Qiao Ge couldn't hide his disappointment, and his eyes dimmed a lot.
He snuffed out the cigarette: "The hourly reward of the main plane, one thousand eight contribution points! Starting from six hours!"
Loren couldn't help but sit straight. It was not the first time he took on a similar task, it was a very good price!
Qiao Ge likes Loren's reaction: "You can get all the income! Party A will calculate another commission with me."
For Loren, if you can get this money, it is naturally a timely help.
But he never believed that luck would come from heaven, and even his face became serious: "What is the time ratio of that low-level plane?"
"1:1000." Qiao Ge cooperated very well and became serious.
Loren's face also changed. This time ratio means that every hour he is in the main plane he is in now will be one thousand hours in that low-level plane! Starting from six hours of working hours, it means that he must work in the low-level plane for 6,000 hours, which is two hundred and fifty days!
As a main plane creature, the body travels to a lower plane and is harmful to itself, which is a kind of mental decline. This is similar to an hypoxia reaction. If it is hypoxia for a long time, it will cause great damage to the mental state, and it is similar to a fish that leaves the water. If it takes too long, it will even die directly.
"What do you want to do? Create such a low-proportion world!" Loren couldn't help but question.
Qiao Ge quickly waved his hand: "It's them! I'm just an agent."
Loren pondered and finally shook his head.
Qiao Ge didn't force himself, and shrugged helplessly: "If you find yourself missing an opportunity to make money because of your timidity, don't be discouraged, because you will miss more in the future."
Loren ignored the other party's ridicule and only returned to his original purpose: "Card transaction, transfer money."
