The city, which was renamed from "Ember Town" to "Shumulang City" and then back to "Ember City", has now regarded "Ember Girl" as its tourism pillar.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw things related to "Enbell Girl" on the shop floor. Except for some shops using "Enbell" to advertise, you can see people advertising in the name of "Enbell Girl" everywhere on the street. To solicit customers, they claimed that they could lead people to find clues about "Ember Girl", and they would keep the truth absolutely. They also emphasized that Jiusang City used to be called "Ember", but later changed its name and then changed it back.
Because of the name "Enbell", players and tourists come here, but to be honest, most places related to "Enbell" or Master Solan are not so talkative or exaggerated. To make money in name.
Xu Huo walked less than a hundred meters before sending away at least five enthusiastic people who wanted to take him to find the painting.
The situation of other players was similar, and some even went to great lengths to organize a group to take them there.
Everyone is treated the same, so naturally not many people will believe these overly proactive chats on the street.
"Jiusang City" is really not that small. Xu Huo walked alone for about half an hour before catching a ride with a "tour guide".
You can tell at a glance that the car is an obsolete product. The flying cars now coming and going on the streets are relatively new models with higher safety factors.
Seeing him staring at the car, the tour guide quickly said: "It is inconvenient to take a flying car, especially since we have to stop and go. Once we get off the car, the flying car will not wait for us at the same place. The appearance of my car is not very beautiful. In convenience.”
His reasons convinced Xu Huo, but he failed to convince several other people who were also going. One couple turned around and left, leaving only two tourists who seemed to be in poor economic conditions. They did not seem to be from District 019. .
Afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch anyone if he waited for a while, the tour guide immediately started the car.
Xu Huo and the others got in the car. While chatting on the way, he realized that these two tourists with poor economic conditions were strictly speaking half of the people in District 019. People like them were brought into District 019 by some rich people or players. Although they have been identified, they are not within the welfare scope of District 019, so once they are abandoned by the people who brought them here, they are basically at the bottom of society. Of course, they can also work, but in the era of mass production of robots, work Not that easy to find.
Therefore, these two people, like the players, are here to try their luck.
As for why all walks of life in Jiusang City use the name of "Embel Girl" to attract customers, the reason is also very simple, that is, the overall economic level of the city has declined.
Government benefits are enough to support people's survival, but not everyone is willing to live like this, especially in Jiusang City. In the past, the city's economy developed rapidly due to the production of amber, and everyone lived a good life. After the amber was excavated, there was no such thing. With more money, life for urban residents will naturally become tighter.
It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, so people in Jiusang City are very keen on working to make money.
Cities like Tintin Flower Town are two extremes.
The tour guide arranged a travel route, from the origin of the name "Enber" to its subsequent development, and then to the traces of the name "Enber" retained in the city. Along the way, he also visited some elderly people, mainly to provide evidence. "Jiusang City" was indeed called "Enbeer" before, and the ending is the place where Master Solan once collected and lived - this needs to be confirmed, because from the "Life Route" of Master Solan published on the Jixin Terminal, there is no There is no Jiusang City.
"That's not all," the tour guide vowed: "Master Solan has definitely been to our place. I have seen her twice."
"Then when did she come? Where has she been?" The two men traveling with her asked quickly.
"That was more than 20 years ago," the tour guide said and sighed: "I was rich at that time, and I even treated Master Solan to dinner!"
"Really or not?" Looking at his vow, the three people in the car didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true," the tour guide said with a smile: "Master Solan is very famous, and the people who can treat her to dinner are not ordinary people. Can I remember that I treated her?"
Not to mention the people on the street, there were at least three or four flying cars passing by them talking about similar topics, such as passing by Master Solan, collecting wind with Master Solan, and giving them to Solan. Master Lan used to be a tour guide...everything he said was very true, as if it really happened.
Soon they arrived at their first stop, the origin of the name "Ember".
"Museum?" The tall man traveling with him looked at the tour guide suspiciously.
The tour guide smiled and led them inside.
There were quite a lot of people in the museum, and the queues stretched all the way to the square outside. The tour guide patted his chest and said that he had a cooperative relationship with the museum and could take them in through the back door, eliminating the need to queue up. Finally, they found the "back door" he mentioned. The other person stopped him and gave him a blank look.
The tour guide blushed with anger, and the "back door" warned them that if they didn't leave, they would be put on the museum's blacklist. In the end, Xu Huo solved the "crisis" by handing over a thousand white bills and successfully entered the museum.
This is an amber exhibition hall. There are all large and small ambers in the display cabinets. Different from those that Xu Huo has seen before, the ambers in Jiusang City even come in many colors. The most eye-catching one is not light yellow, but Pink, light green and other colors are like gems, with some rare insects and plants wrapped in them, which is extremely beautiful.
The tour guide introduced these ambers very proudly and said: "These are some of the best. They are not sold to the outside world and can only be seen here."
Following them, they came to the exhibition stand of the treasure of the museum.
The so-called treasure of the museum is a huge piece of naturally formed purple amber. Purple amber itself is very rare and is a mutation product of the evolution of trees. And this huge piece of purple amber happens to wrap a pair of intertwined white snakes. This The mating white snakes are thus wrapped in resin and retained permanently.
"It looks like a fake." The tall man had obviously never seen Amber like this before, so he couldn't help but whisper.
"Fake amber can't be sold at a high price," the tour guide said: "The instruments in Area 019 can't detect anything now. If fake amber is bought at a high price, why should I come here to run errands?"
"What does fake amber look like?" Xu Huo asked.
"Those things are considered handicrafts and not valuable." The tour guide opened the collection terminal and showed him some pictures. "These are all fake. All kinds of insects and beasts can be put in them. Some people will put them in their pets." After you pass away, make them into amber and preserve them forever." (End of this chapter)
