Rebirth of turning waste into treasure

As soon as it was dawn, people preparing to enter the city had already lined up in a long queue. The winding line stretched so long that it was almost impossible to see the end of the line.

Cheng Xiao found a few plant leaves that resembled banana leaves, and wrapped the biyu, which was still a little breathy in his hand, so as not to reveal the wealth. Who knows if there will be someone who knows the goods in the team.

Because they came early, even if they wanted to be at the front, it was perfectly fine, but Cheng Xiao picked up the goods in his hand and waited until the line got a little longer before walking slowly to the end of the crowd.

Soon, other humans were standing behind him, and this position happened to be in the middle, an unremarkable good place.

It was better to keep a low profile when entering the city for the first time. Cheng Xiao purposely smeared his face with dust and disguised it a little, creating a weather-beaten appearance from afar.

People are always more patient with the weak, and this is also related to the threat posed by the other party. In this era, there is not much sympathy left, but vigilance will change according to the characteristics of the target.

"Those entering the city, line up and don't be crowded!" A guard guarding the city gate shouted at the gate, full of anger.

Although this city is said to be a holy place for mankind, relatively speaking, the review is also very strict. In addition to meeting certain conditions, there are many details that need to be paid attention to.

Most of the human beings who can reach here have experienced many battles, and there is not much noise when queuing up. Instead, they remain silent and calmly look in the direction of the city gate.

The road is difficult and dangerous, and the dream is in front of us!

But some habits formed on the long-distance trek will not be changed for a while.

"Over there, don't jump in line, force is not allowed here!"

"And you, take off your hat, put your hair up, and show your eyes and nose!"

"This kind of poisonous preparation needs to be marked. What's the cost? If you throw it in the well, who do we go to?!"

Of course, the guards were pleasing to the eye, and there were occasional hints of kindness.

"This kind of goods go straight and turn left, and some people buy them specially."

"Ask for a doctor? Our best doctor is in the city lord's mansion. Don't be afraid. It's a place open to the public. Go straight there and someone will entertain you."

"Want to settle down? Go to the city lord's mansion for an audit. Whether you pass or not depends on your ability. Good luck!"

Cheng Xiao, who was in the middle of the line, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation between the people in front and the guards, and was able to collect a lot of useful information.

The three words "City Lord's Mansion" were mentioned the most times. Seeking medical advice, troubleshooting, settlement review, trade declaration, military selection, urban construction, etc., is simply an oil tank filled with panacea.

Cheng Xiao thought about it, and Ji Yu also mentioned that the City Lord's Mansion is not a private territory in the strict sense, but a place with comprehensive facilities, urban offices, and open to the public.

Although few of the people who lined up to enter the city dared to make trouble after seeing the row of cannons on the city wall, there would always be some surprises.

Seeing that it was about to be his turn, Cheng Xiao prepared to take out his belongings with a calm face. This was to prevent outsiders from bringing extremely dangerous things into the city.

The man in front of him was smiling and taking the things that the guards handed over to him. The things he carried were fine and he could clear the customs.

"and many more!"

The man froze for a moment, and found that the guards took the things back again.

Wang Shi twisted a small bag of salt in it, and it felt a bit wrong. He tore it open unceremoniously, and poured the salt into a small basin just in case. If there was no problem, he would return the original .

"Why are you tearing my things?!" The man roared excitedly, as if he wanted to take it away, but was stopped by the guards.

"After the inspection is all right, I will help you find another packing bag to ensure that there is not a single grain of salt missing." Wang Shi gave him a cold look, and used clean bamboo chips to store the salt grains with many impurities in the pile. Pull carefully.

When walking in the wild for a long time, salt supplementation is necessary. Although similar substitutes can be found in the roots, stems or leaves of some plants, the ones with salt grains are obviously more high-end.

Because the level of personal filtration is not high, there are always some impurities in the white salt, which looks ugly and tastes uncomfortable, but such items are also extremely expensive.

Wang Shi checked for a long time, but found nothing. The man was already impatient.

"Okay, guard, this is the city of freedom, so there's no reason to bully those of us who came from afar, right?" The man showed an angry look, as if he wanted to provoke other people's dissatisfaction, "If you can come here, Who is not close to death, don't let us feel cold!"

"We need to test these things." Wang Shi decided to trust his own judgment. He always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while.

"What, you want to illegally confiscate it, this is monopoly!" The man propped his hands on the table and yelled, "You are too lawless in broad daylight. Is the city of liberty such a corrupt existence?!"

Most of the people still queuing outside the city were quietly observing the development of the matter, but there were also a few people who echoed a few words. They were uneasy, and they didn't know whether the city of liberty lived up to its reputation, so they took this opportunity to test it out.

Wang Shi was indifferent, he waved his hand, and several strong guards around him stepped forward, "This is the review process, if you want to enter the city, you must abide by it."

"Bah! I don't know what you're thinking?" The man drew out his weapon and put on a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. "If you don't give me a reason, I won't accept it!"

Indeed, confiscating items for no reason is not in line with the reputation of Liberty City, and without giving any reason, who would undoubtedly be willing to do so.

Wang Shi frowned. He was not sure if there was something wrong with the salt, but for the sake of safety, he had to take it to the City Lord's Mansion for further inspection, but it was not good for no reason in front of so many outsiders. work.

This salt seems to be fine...

"The gray-black dots, are they the seeds of mutated poppies?" Cheng Xiao suddenly asked softly.

Mutant Poppy? !

A sound caused a thousand waves. This kind of plant is strictly prohibited by the major castles. Once found, it can be found out and will not be tolerated!

This mutated drug can not only paralyze the nerves and make people addicted, but also has the same effect on alien races, and can rapidly shorten the life span of human beings. After taking addiction, they will not live for a few years.

Yes, this is it!Wang Shi patted his bare forehead. He had found out once before, and his memory was deep. Why didn't he think of it just now!

"I suspect that this bag of salt is mixed with poison, please cooperate with the inspection." Wang Shi said to the man, seeing the sudden change of expression on the man's face, he was even more determined.

"Bastard!" The man suddenly jumped up and slashed forward with the long knife, but was blocked back by the strong guards.

Travelers who have experienced many battles are not easy to mess with, but they are a group of soldiers who have been strictly trained, how could they be vegetarians?Wang Shi sneered, daring to sell drugs, death penalty!

The man was so counterattacked that he couldn't help taking a few steps back. He turned his head and happened to meet Cheng Xiao face to face.

This young man, if it wasn't for the other party, the poppy seeds he brought over through so much painstaking efforts would definitely sell for a good price!Maybe...you can still use this to control the people in the City Lord's Mansion, will there be fewer high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the future? !

With scarlet eyes, the man unceremoniously slashed at the young man with a knife. No matter which castle he was in, if he was caught selling drugs, it would be a capital crime.

Cheng Xiao turned sideways slightly, causing the man to rush forward unsteadily, and he staggered and bent slightly.

Is this time for a hand-wringing lore?Cheng Xiao shook his head secretly. This is not a killer test competition. For the convenience of future actions, a little limelight will do.

Although being low-key can attract less attention, but sometimes it is too steamy, and it is also very tempting to step on.

So he kicked the man's ass, and the man jumped forward, the dog gnawed on the mud, and passed out on the ground...

It is also a skill to be able to kick until you faint. Cheng Xiao raised his head in satisfaction, and looked at Wang Shi with a slightly surprised look, "It's up to me."

He reminded, and handed over the blue fish.

The money was not exposed, and the inspection of the items was carried out in a small compartment. The bag of salt was an accident. It was originally planned to be returned to the man, but the other party refused to take it back, so Wang Shi openly opened it in front of everyone.

Loosing the tightly bound large leaves, Biyu let out a breath slowly, almost suffocating...

Wang Shi stared at the fish for a while, and when it was about to be made into a cold cut platter besides the other party, the man raised his head, "Is this Biyu?"

The City of Liberty really lives up to its reputation, even the guards at the city gate are so knowledgeable!

Cheng Xiao nodded lightly. For a skilled human being, catching a fish should not be a big deal.

Wang Shi concealed the shock in his heart. This fish was given by other races, or caught by this human himself... If it is the former, it is normal. Just pay attention to whether human beings have any contact with other races, and they will accept it. A person who once lived with a foreign race.

But if it's the latter... Biyu, a fish that lives in rare lakes, has extremely high medicinal value, and has a ferocious personality, making it difficult to catch.

At present in the world, only egrets are known to be the natural enemy of biyu, but that kind of bird cannot be tamed, so it is not an easy task to catch it only by humans.

Looking at the expression of this man named Cheng Xiao, it seems that... he doesn't really care about it. Wang Shi thought to himself, could it be that the opponent's combat strength is still higher than his assessment just now?

Cheng Xiao folded his arms, showed a slightly careless expression, and grinned at the guards just right, actively expressing kindness, which can sometimes add fuel to the flames.

"The item is fine." Wang Shi nodded, rewrapped the item, and handed it back to Cheng Xiao, "Thank you just now. I didn't expect it to be poppy seeds. It seems that your knowledge of pharmacology is very good."

"...You're welcome." Cheng Xiao took his belongings and picked up the panting Biyu.

"The skill is also good." Wang Shi praised without hesitation, and reminded casually, "If you want to sell Biyu, it is recommended to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Other private purchases will always lose money."

"Thank you." Cheng Xiao slightly hooked the corners of his mouth to express his gratitude.

Before leaving, he gave him another small sign with the word "Permission" written on it.

"You take this, and you can go in directly when you arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise you will have to wait in line for a long time." Seeing the other party's calm expression, Wang Shi offered to help just now without asking for any reward, so he couldn't help but feel good about it.

In the last days, people's hearts are unpredictable, but I still have a bit of insight when looking at people, not to mention that the other party's strength is not weak, and it's good to make friends.
