No wonder this armored lizard man calls mushroom men "cowardly mushroom men". Judging from the reactions of many mushroom men in other teams, we know that this group of mushroom men is indeed a relatively cowardly and timid group, at least in front of the lizard men. These mushroom people were provoked and humiliated on the spot, and they didn't even have the courage to face it. They all pretended to be deaf and mute, pretending not to hear at all.
This ostrich-like reaction caused some snickers to ring around the union hall. Especially other ethnic groups, they were eating melons with excitement, and they didn't even try to hide their disdain for the mushroom people group.
At this moment, Jiang Yue understood more clearly that the Earth Center Clan was not all in harmony. Moreover, the strife and bullying among the Earth Core Clan is even more direct and obvious than in human society. There is no need to make any excuses, just face forward and output.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue remembered that he was a mushroom man, and at the same time stopped Sangou beside him in time to prevent Sangou from getting too involved and falling out in anger.
There is no doubt that when three mushroom men face the provocation of a group of armored men, according to the normal logic of the Geocentric Clan, it is impossible for them to be tough anyway, and they do not have the capital to be tough at all.
Therefore, Jiang Yue knew that he must deal with this matter in compliance with the Earth Center Clan's survival philosophy and logic, rather than being aggressive and ruthless.
Mushroom people are by no means a aggressive group.
Jiang Yue's silence was undoubtedly a cowardly delay in the lizard man's eyes. The lizard man said arrogantly: "What? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Jiang Yue took a deep breath and asked the union receptionist at the window: "I would like to ask, are the daily rules of the union allowed to be trampled on by them? Is queuing for services just a piece of paper?"
Jiang Yue pointed to the trade union service convention standing beside the trade union window. There were indeed various rules on it, and queuing for service was indeed a clearly stated rule in it.
The receptionist at the union window originally turned a blind eye to the lizard man's provocation. This is not the first time they have seen this kind of thing.
As long as the bullied party does not protest, they will naturally turn a blind eye. Who will handle the affairs at their window anyway?
But Jiang Yue protested and spoke directly with the rules and regulations. Where this convention is placed, no one can say it is a piece of paper.
Especially window staff, they represent the authority of the union.
If you still pretend to be deaf and mute and ignore the question after being asked, it will definitely greatly weaken the authority of the union, and it can even be said to be a blatant slap in the face of the union.
The window clerk glanced at the provocative lizard people and said, "Everyone, this is not your first time working in the union, right? You don't really want to blatantly trample on the union's convention, do you?"
The implication is obvious.
If people don't protest, I can just pretend they didn't see it. But if people bring up the convention to talk about things, if you don't restrain yourself, you won't be able to talk anymore. Blatantly violating the convention means ignoring the convention and ignoring the authority of the union.
The leading lizard man probably didn't expect that the timid mushroom man would dare to protest to the union this time and use the union's power to suppress them.
Although it was filled with rage and wanted to slap the mushroom man into a mushroom cake with one claw, in the final analysis, they still did not dare to openly provoke under the authority of the union. No matter how unwilling he was, the lizard man still glared at Jiang Yue angrily, pointed his finger and threatened: "Okay, the humble mushroom man has lost his temper today. Just wait and see how I deal with you later." .”
The creatures of other ethnic groups around are secretly feeling pity. It would be fun if we could fight. Unfortunately, the domineering lizard man and the cowardly mushroom man are destined to never have a fight. This good show is destined to end in an anticlimax and not worth watching.
Of course, many creatures were somewhat surprised that the three mushroom men did not obediently give up their positions to the lizard men.
Judging from past experience, even if mushroom people don't accept the situation, they will at most give up their position obediently after a few words of rebuttal. Unexpectedly, these three mushroom people were able to withstand the pressure, and they also knew how to put pressure on the union. This indeed gave many living beings a new understanding of the mushroom people group.
So it turns out that mushroom people also have tempers?
Of course, the mushroom people from other teams didn't seem very happy about this, and they didn't even feel that Jiang Yue and the others had gained any face for the mushroom people by doing this.
Their expressions were indifferent and cold, and there was even a hint of resentment. These three guys were at odds with the lizard people and offended the lizard people. They should not bring bad luck to them when the time comes.
Although they didn't say it openly, Jiang Yue could easily observe this from their reactions.
Of course, Jiang Yue didn't care much about this. He didn't expect to please other mushroom people, let alone get too close to other mushroom people. If the contact was too deep, Jiang Yue would be afraid of revealing his flaws.
Before fully integrating into the Earth Center Clan, he hoped to keep a low profile, collect information, and investigate matters related to the Earth Center Clan.
"Sir, how can I serve you?" The receptionist in front of the window asked Jiang Yue lukewarmly.
It sounds polite, but in fact it's just professional politeness.
Jiang Yue didn't expect the attentive service, but said cautiously: "I want to exchange some silver coins."
After his observation, he found that the Geocentric Tribe has a common currency, and silver coins are the most common currency.
As for the things that can be exchanged for silver coins, they are all kinds of items, all kinds of supplies, all kinds of equipment, as long as they are useful, they can be exchanged.
Jiang Yue had just arrived in the Geocentric Clan's territory, so it was naturally impossible to collect any supplies and equipment, but he did have something that the Geocentric Clan could come in handy, and that was rough stones.
Jiang Yue has a large number of rough stones on hand, and they are all of extremely high purity. These rough stones are of course extremely valuable in the surface world, and they are equally valuable to the Inner Earth Tribe.
This kind of good thing that can extract a lot of spiritual power is valuable everywhere.
The rough stone Jiang Yue took out was only a small one, and its purity was relatively average compared to other reserve rough stones.
Even so, the exchange value of this rough stone is quite amazing. If Jiang Yue hadn't gone around for two rounds and understood the exchange market to some extent, he wouldn't have dared to take out the rough stones casually.
As soon as the rough stone was taken out, the people in the union hall who witnessed all this made a low cry. Obviously, none of them expected that this humble and timid mushroom man could actually produce a rough stone. Although this rough stone is only as big as a fist, it is still a rough stone after all!
In a place like the Guild, it's not every day that you see someone taking out rough stones to exchange currency. It can even be said that you may not see it once every ten days and a half. Moreover, this rough stone is not small, and its purity does not look bad.
It's not that everyone has never seen rough stones, but it's just that it's a bit incredible that such a rough stone appears on a mushroom man.
Even the receptionist at the trade union window was a little surprised, and his previously lukewarm face became a little more enthusiastic.
"Do you want to redeem this rough stone?"
Jiang Yue could tell from everyone's reactions that it was a bit unreasonable to exchange a rough stone for currency. But he had no other choice. There were other supplies on him, and taking them out would definitely reveal his identity as a human being.
Only this rough stone can be used in both worlds, the surface and the earth, and is valuable in both worlds.
"Am I waiting in line just to play this joke on you?" Jiang Yue asked calmly.
The receptionist was not angry, and said with a smile: "No, no, you misunderstood. It's just that the exchange of rough stones is relatively rare, please wait. I will immediately ask relevant experts to price the rough stones. Don't worry, the price given by the union must be the best. Fair price.”
The trade union cannot say how generous the price is. After all, the trade union is huge, and even if the store is big, it does not want to bully customers, but it must still be able to plunder the wool.
But the trade union is just and fair. It collects wool for its own sake, and its base will guarantee it. It will not play tricks on you, or dig holes to take advantage of you.
Ten eggs may be sold at the union for the price of eight or nine eggs, but if they are placed elsewhere, or in private exchange, someone may be willing to give the price of eleven or twelve eggs, but there is a hidden meaning behind such an offer. There may be a risk of not getting a penny, and even your life may not be saved.
Therefore, this is also why all Earth Core creatures like to exchange for good things with the union. Even if the price is not so good, they can still be safe.
Jiang Yue also knew this and waved his hand grandly: "Please do so."
At the same time, Jiang Yue could also see from the corner of his eye that the Geocentric creatures in other teams were more or less greedy and yearning when they saw the rough stone.
It can be seen that the appearance of this rough stone caused some undercurrent of commotion in the scene. Many people even secretly looked at the three mushroom men. I don't know what kind of thoughts they have behind the twinkling eyes.
However, in the union hall, Jiang Yue was not worried about these guys openly robbing him. With ten of their courage, they would not be able to act wild here in the union.
After a while, the receptionist hurried back and said with a smile: "Sir, the rough stone has been appraised. The price given to you here is 800 silver coins. Do you accept this price?"
Jiang Yue had a general understanding and knew the true value of this rough stone. It should be sold for 1,000 silver coins. However, the union is a union after all, and it is profitable in itself. It exploits professionals from all ethnic groups. The price difference of 200 silver coins, It's earned in the open.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yue nodded: "Deal."
The receptionist obviously expected that Jiang Yue would not refuse, so he smiled and took out eight gold coins from the cash box.
"One gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins. 800 silver coins equals 8 gold coins. Please click to receive it."
What better way to collect eight gold coins? You can see it at a glance. Moreover, the trade union has such a huge brand name that it is unlikely that they will do anything about it.
Jiang Yue pocketed seven of the gold coins and pushed the remaining one back to the counter: "Exchange it for 100 silver coins."
Gold coins are a relatively large currency in the Earth Core world. They are generally not used for large-scale consumption, and gold coins are not needed. So it would be more convenient to exchange it for loose money.
The receptionist quickly exchanged the same amount of silver coins for Jiang Yue.
This deal is over. Just as Jiang Yue and the others were about to leave the counter, the receptionist smiled and asked, "Sir, our supervisor would like to ask you to take a step to chat for a few words. Isn't it convenient?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "It's a transaction. Are there any follow-up questions?"
"No, the transaction is completed, the money and goods are paid, and there will be no follow-up problems. The supervisor wants to know. If there is another opportunity to exchange in the future, please be sure to patronize our union. We can give higher rewards next time price."
Jiang Yue smiled self-deprecatingly: "Haha, a tribe like ours is extremely lucky to get a rough stone. If it weren't for the lack of money, this precious rough stone would never be exchanged. Your union Do you think that for small characters like us, there will be a second rough stone?"
Jiang Yue also wanted to take the opportunity to make up for his previous exchange of rough stones, which was watched by so many eyes. He also didn't want to be targeted by interested people just because of the rough stone, and he didn't want to get into trouble in vain.
The receptionist didn't say much to Jiang Yue's explanation. He just said: "If you have the next chance, please be sure to come. We will always retain our sincerity."
As receptionists, they receive various ethnic groups and see many different kinds of people. Anyone who holds the original stone to redeem it will say that this is the only one and there cannot be another one.
It's the instinctive excuse everyone uses to avoid getting into trouble.
In fact, who knows whether it is the last one?
Even if there is only one, as receptionists, they should still fight for it. If there is no date, they can play a few shots.
With money in hand, Jiang Yue and the others would be more confident.
The basic problems of drinking, eating and staying in hotels will be solved easily, and there is no need to worry about sleeping on the street.
After walking a few steps, the group of lizard men behind the team stared at the three of them one by one, their faces full of teasing, as if they were teasing prey. It was as if Jiang Yue and the others were just a piece of fat meat, waiting for them to open their mouths at any time.
Jiang Yue ignored it. The three of them came to a pub.
The business in the tavern was pretty good, and the tables were basically full.
After truly integrating into the life of the Inner Earth Clan, Jiang Yue discovered that basic things such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation were the same whether it was the inner earth world or the surface world, and no matter which civilization era it was.
Human beings have the desire to eat, and the Earth-centred creatures also have the same desire to eat.
Moreover, the Earth Center Tribe’s pursuit of food and drink is not inferior to humans at all.
Of course, there is still a certain gap between the exquisiteness of the food of the Earth Core Tribe and that of human civilization in the Sunshine Age.
But judging from the presentation of the food, it is by no means completely unpalatable.
Fruit wine and various meats are the most popular foods of the Earth Center Tribe.
Of course, there are also some staple foods, such as bread and other things similar to human civilization, which are also available here, but the varieties are relatively simple.
Jiang Yue and the others ordered some from other tables, and then ordered a pot of fruit wine.
With their current financial resources, this order does not exceed the consumption of 3 silver coins, which is naturally nothing.
