Free Web NovelChapter 2017: Chapter 2017: Paying for Answers! Found It in Just 1 Minute! Almost Blew My Qi!
"Sigh... Even the city entrance fee is so extortionate, I wonder how much the fare for the boat will be? Probably even more!"
Mu Jinyu stepped into Zhenhai City, grumbling still in dissatisfaction.
Next, he didn’t know where to find the fleet.
He glanced at an old man setting up a stall by the roadside, crouched down, and asked, "Grandpa, do you know where to find a boat to go to the Southern Domain?"
He casually asked without revealing that he actually wanted to go to the Central Domain.
After all, if there’s a boat heading to the Southern Domain, there must also be one going to the Central Domain, it doesn’t really matter.
However, Mu Jinyu thought that this piece of information should be well-known on the streets, one could easily get an answer just by asking.
But what he didn’t expect was, upon hearing his question, this old man did not intend to answer him, instead, he rubbed his fingers, giving a look that said "you know what I mean."
"Damn..."
Mu Jinyu saw that this old man, with only Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation, could be so sleazy, asking for a benefit even for a bit of information, he almost couldn’t help but want to hit him.
What kind of atmosphere is this in Zhenhai City?
Do you always ask for benefits at every turn?
You won’t say a word without benefit?
Mu Jinyu felt extremely displeased, of course, he wouldn’t give this old man any benefit, he could only leave his stall, then glanced around, and saw a little girl of about four or five ahead.
He thought, the bad guys have grown old, kids shouldn’t be as disgusting, right?
If this kid could talk to him properly, he wouldn’t mind giving her ten pounds of Source Stone, even more wouldn’t be out of question.
Indeed, Mu Jinyu wasn’t stingy to the point of not being able to spare any benefits to others.
After all, others answering his questions, it’s fine to give benefits in return!
But, does the city entrance fee mean others helped him with anything?
And when he asks a question, without answering they directly ask him for money, isn’t it just disgusting?
He certainly didn’t want to give them the benefit!
Whereas if others, upon hearing his question, didn’t first respond and demand a benefit, but honestly answered his question, he wouldn’t mind giving them a benefit!
In short, one good word:
I can offer it voluntarily, but you can’t demand it from me!
Mu Jinyu didn’t tolerate this old man and directly walked to that little girl eating candied lotus, crouched down, and asked, "Little sister, do you know where I can find the fleet in Zhenhai City?"
This little girl was quite adorable, carved in powder and jade, with two sky-high braids, looking like a porcelain doll.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s question, this little girl paused her action of eating candied lotus, raised her head, her big eyes twinkled as she looked at Mu Jinyu, then reached out...
She similarly made a standard rubbing gesture!
Mu Jinyu was thunderstruck, dumbfounded as he looked at the little girl’s innocent expression, rendered speechless.
This truly is, society is declining, people’s hearts are not what they used to be!!
The heck, even a four or five-year-old girl has been taught to act like this.
He simply couldn’t imagine how obsessed with profit the people of Zhenhai City were!
"Nini, come over here! That one’s a cheapskate!"
At this moment, a gruff voice sounded behind Mu Jinyu, carrying disdain.
Immediately, the little girl silently hopped and ran to the spot behind Mu Jinyu!
Mu Jinyu snapped back to reality, turned his head to look, and saw the little girl running to that old man’s stall.
’Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together!’
Seeing this little girl and the old man were a family, Mu Jinyu suddenly felt an inexplicable relief.
Thinking that the reason this little girl behaved like this was entirely because of that old man’s misguided teachings.
If the elder taught properly, she wouldn’t have turned out this way!
’Maybe it’s just my bad luck, running into two people with this kind of behavior, perhaps others aren’t like this?’
Mu Jinyu thought to himself.
But when he stood up, looked around at the vendors and pedestrians who were staring at him with disdainful and contemptuous eyes.
Mu Jinyu realized, his previous thought was gravely mistaken.
It wasn’t bad luck that led him to encounter two money-grubbing ancestors.
It’s just the general practice in this damn place.
If you don’t offer benefits, people won’t say a word to you!
So exhausting!
At this moment, Mu Jinyu felt like giving up on the boat and impulsively swimming across the sea to the Central Domain.
But he already paid the city entrance fee, leaving just like this, isn’t it too aggravating?
"Sigh!"
He let out a long sigh, his expression becoming determined!
Not bothering with these fools!
He refused to believe he couldn’t find the answer to his question himself.
In West Sea State here, the most famous place is near the Forbidden Dead Sea!
Judging by the surrounding of Zhenhai City, filled with ships resembling warships, the most renowned business here certainly is the overseas fleet!
So within Zhenhai City, the location must be conspicuous enough not to let people circle around unable to find it.
Thus, he stopped asking!
Even without local guidance, at most occupying a bit more time, he’d surely find those fleets!
Eventually proving.
Mu Jinyu was indeed correct in his thinking.
Moreover, he didn’t spend much more time.
After crossing the street, reaching the main street of Zhenhai City.
He immediately saw at the end of the street a gigantic storefront, with an enormous ship hanging above it.
This was a glaring sign!
Does this still require others to guide the way?
At this, Mu Jinyu felt even more grossed out by these people.
This damn thing only needs a single sentence, even if unanswered it’s fine, others can see for themselves upon entering, yet they dare demand benefits outright?
No benefits, no speech.
Had the fleet been a bit difficult to find, occupying him half an hour.
Mu Jinyu would admit.
Spending ten pounds of Source Stone for this half hour wouldn’t be unthinkable.
But damn it, walking from that street to here only took him a minute!
Mu Jinyu felt fortunate he persisted without paying them to guide the way.
Or else seeing the fleet right in front now, he’d be driven mad!
"Sigh, these people are truly invincible!"
Not only had Mu Jinyu been disgusted, but even Ming empathetically sighed.
"Inhale... Exhale..." Mu Jinyu took deep breaths, suppressing the suffocating displeasure, then quickly moved toward the storefront at the end!
Upon arriving, Mu Jinyu suddenly considered whether the store was actually not a fleet but sold ships to cross the Forbidden Dead Sea?
If that were the case, he’d have found the wrong place!
However, seeing so many ships stationed outside Zhenhai City, it shouldn’t be that ships are sold inside Zhenhai City, right?
Indeed, Mu Jinyu’s worries were unwarranted!
The store certainly wasn’t selling ships!
Generally, people wouldn’t buy a sea ship, hardly used inland, just to cross the sea.
Paying a sum to ride someone else’s fleet to the desired place is more economical!
"Hello, could you tell me what the fare is to sail to the Southern Domain?" Mu Jinyu asked the shop attendant.
This time, the attendant wasn’t as disgustingly demanding for benefits at every casual question like those pedestrians outside.
Being in business, it’s impossible not to answer people’s questions!
Nor can a customer ask a question and you charge a fee!
Who would visit then!
So, he replied, "One thousand Source Stones!"
