Obligations of the elderly

It was not enough to just buy the letter bird, the uncle then took them to buy a sleeping bag (per person), a water bottle (per person), and several rolls of thick and thin rope, and then... It was gone.

Compared with the gold diggers outside who were shopping with big bags and small bags, the things they bought can only be described as shabby.

Even the discount of 2000% off the whole store is not enough.

"There is no need to scrape together 2000 yuan for a discount. Apart from these things, it is basically useless." After rejecting the enthusiastic sales promotion of a store, the uncle took them back to the hotel directly.

When I go back, I just pack my luggage, because I have already considered the way to travel with my uncle. The two of them are not traditional suitcases, but the kind that is very light and can be carried and dragged. Two big men The luggage is very simple, except for a few pieces of clothes, there are some things they think are necessary. Not only did the uncle not give them a reminder when they went out this time, even Xie Kai didn't help.In short, Gongsi and the others really don't have much luggage, even if they put all the things they bought today, there is still room in the backpack.

After a simple dinner, they went back to their rooms to sleep. I don't know if it was because they were not in the same room as the old letter bird. The whole night, luck was quiet, and the palace and the stream slept for a while. sleep well.

By the way, "Lucky" is the name Gongsi gave to the little black bird, because the little black bird is not an employee of their Xinniao shop, but a long-term worker (?) who directly buys out his life, so Gongsi simply gave it to him. It has a name. Didn't the uncle say that the black letter bird is unlucky?He simply gave it the luckiest name, that's right, it's all named after luck, can't it be lucky?

At seven o'clock the next day, the uncle stood in front of the gate of Gongsi and Xiliu on time, but before he could knock on the door, the door was pulled open from the inside, revealing Gongsi and Xiliu ready to go, two people Everything was tidied up neatly, extremely energetic, and Gongsi still had luck in his hand.

This is my nephew, what time is the time, and he will never be late, always so reassuring - he secretly praised the elder nephew, but the uncle's face was calm, turned around, he just said indifferently: "Let's go."

After going downstairs, the uncle went to the front desk to check out, and the palace went to the restaurant to order food, check out the room and have breakfast. At around 07:30, they set off from the hotel and walked out directly from the front door of the hotel. This time, they Going in the opposite direction of yesterday.

Gong Si knew what it was over there. They had visited there after noon yesterday. It was a port, but it was quite empty, with no boats and few people. However, today was different. The more people left, there were quite a few gold diggers carrying big and small bags, and there were also people carrying birdcages like them!

At the beginning, people saw the palaces carrying cages and people pointing fingers, but as they got closer to the port and more and more people were carrying cages, those people stopped saying anything, on the contrary, they began to talk about their own I'm a little worried about the equipment...

Gongsi saw a group of people coming with birdcages. Their birdcages were the same as their own, and they should be letter birds hired by a place.

Looking at the similar equipment and styles of those people, Gong Si thought, the uncle guessed it right: it was a group of people who ordered the Xinniao from that Xinniao shop.

However, there were probably very few people on their side, and he and Xi Liu looked at the young man, and the group didn't pay attention to them, but Elizabeth on the uncle's side saw her companion and called out twice.

By the way, the uncle's letter bird is named Elizabeth, the name given to her by the shopkeeper.

They have officially arrived at the port they visited yesterday. It is completely different from yesterday. Today’s port is overcrowded, not only gold diggers who want to go to sea, but also many local people. They directly set up a stall on the ground to buy and sell things. Wanting to make some extra money before these gold diggers left, Gong Si saw a phone card seller, a sleeping bag seller...he even saw a messenger bird seller, but...isn't it?That's not a letter bird at all, is it?It's just white birds...

"Basically, you can't buy things here temporarily. It's good to buy a fake sleeping bag, but you can hire a fake letter bird... I guess there is no other use for it except stewing soup." The uncle said lightly, his gaze He looked at the letter birds over there: "Well, that kind of bird is particularly unpalatable."

Palace Si: ...

However, Gong Si's attention soon lost sight of these people, and he saw many gates in the distance that he hadn't seen yesterday!

The appearance of each door is different, some are a bare door, some are carved doors with exquisite materials, and there are iron doors... The palaces counted, there are eight doors in total!

"Oh—that's the portal built by various continents participating in the development plan of the Black Soil Continent, right?" Xiliu said.

Before Gongsi could understand, the uncle had already nodded: "That's right."

"Those are the existing portals, which belong to each continent. There have been no rulers in Puzhou for a long time, and they did not participate in the mainland development plan. On the contrary, Pudua has been very active in the mainland development plan, so the eight Among the portals, the only place without a portal is Puzhou. Later, Pudua Island disappeared. Puzhou had a ruler and was the victim of the war provoked by Pudua. Pudua’s portal returned. Puzhou." The uncle explained, he was mainly explaining to Gongsi, Xiliu obviously knew something about the development of the mainland.

"Is Qizhou's portal new too?" After listening, Gong Si asked the uncle.

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gong Si pursed her lips. It seems that this is what Ge and Lin did for their own continent. When they were in school, they had already come here ahead of time. Now, one of the doors here is theirs. His efforts paid off.

There is a corresponding ticket office in front of each gate, um... This statement is a bit strange, but from the perspective of the palace, it is the ticket office, and there is a map hanging outside, with various related introductions on it.

Just by looking at the gates, it is not really possible to tell which gate belongs to which continent, but people come here to seek gold. In order to find something, people will only choose the gate that interests them most, or that suits them best. It doesn’t matter which continent they belong to. After all, there is no regulation that the items obtained from the gate of which continent should belong to which continent. Before the new continent, everyone is equal. In fact, each continent is one step ahead, and it is carried out in advance. Safe land development only.

"Every door leads to a certain place in the Black Earth Continent, because there is no map in the Black Earth Continent, and we have no way of knowing which part of the Black Earth Continent it corresponds to. It's just that the accumulation of various continents there has been developed in advance. It’s just some safe land, the so-called safe land is the land that has been developed by the ability users sent from all continents, measured the land, and has some understanding, it’s just land that is relatively safe for most gold diggers.” Uncle said.

"Gold diggers can search for treasures on these lands, and they can also participate in the survey of unknown lands. Any discovery and report will be rewarded. If new lands are discovered, they can either develop them by themselves, or sell the information to developers on other continents. It’s very high.” Xiliu also added next to him: “That’s why people want to come to the New World to pan for gold. In the past, those who were able to come here were people with very high abilities. Now, with the development of more and more safe land by the people in front, this Only then will it be opened to more ability users."

Listening carefully to Uncle and Xiliu's science popularization, Gongsi's eyes wandered between the eight doors in front: "Uncle, which one are we going to?"

The uncle just glanced at him: "I thought you would want to read all the introductions of those doors first."

"Of course!" His eyes lit up, and Gong Si immediately ran towards the door closest to him, and the stream followed his footsteps, pushing through the crowd, and it didn't take long for them to get to the front.

The place that this door leads to is called "Alando". It is a land with an area of ​​about 300 million square kilometers. In this land, people have discovered a large number of precious metal mines and many unknown creatures;

The door next door led to an even larger place, covering an area of ​​683 million square kilometers. Many metal mines were found on that land. Although they were not considered rare metals, there were many varieties. In addition, This piece of land was named "Zhu Yang";

Although the area of ​​the land named "Clofida" is very small, only 50 square kilometers, a new substance was discovered here. This land contains a very large lake, and the lake stones in the lake contain a kind of A never-before-discovered substance, this substance added to skin care products can greatly restore the skin to its youthful state!God knows no matter which era, women are always very concerned about their appearance, just one discovery is enough, enough to make Clofida a very precious land!

……

Gongsi looked at the introductions in front of each door with great interest, until he saw the last door. The last door led to a place called "汏", which directly indicated that it was a mountainous area, including the The tallest mountain found in the Black Soil Continent, besides the first time, "Jiang" is also the largest piece of land that has been mined so far, with an area of ​​1200 million square kilometers, which is much larger than Puzhou.

After looking around all the doors, Gong Si returned to the uncle: "After reading, uncle, which door should we go to?"

The uncle raised his arm, and his white and slender fingers stopped on the last door named "Zhu Yang": "Let's go here, this is the land where the most metal minerals have been found so far. Although there are no new minerals, we are not Those who go to pan for gold, as a teaching place for blacksmiths, this place is perfect."

In a word, the uncle aroused the interest of the palace!

Then, looking at the stream with dark eyes, the uncle said again: "Although there is no special indication on it, it can be seen from the map that Zhuyang's waters are very rich. Because of its long-term isolation, there are many ancient fish species. , it may also be a good practice place for stream students who study fish."

Pausing for a while, looking at Datou who didn't know when to emerge from the air, the uncle said again: "Of course, Datou will also like it, but please note that the protected species cannot be eaten. After entering, I will put the album of protected fish species Take it for you to learn."

After finishing speaking, the uncle took the Gongsi stream and walked in the direction of Zhu Yang. Gongsi watched with great interest as the uncle bought five keys at what he thought was the "ticket office". That's right, it was the key, very traditional The handle of the key looks like a jewel, but upon closer inspection, it is a mass of flowing gas. One key was distributed to the palace and the stream, and two keys were hung on the lucky and Elizabeth’s neck, the uncle led the two of them towards the gate.

They only took two steps, and when they reached the third step, a white light flashed, and the group of them disappeared in the light.
